THE STRUGGLE OF A WIDOW

BY HEART

"Has their relationship gone that far..? Did the man propose to her..?" Inner Tio

Tio was bowed behind the door of his room with a million wounds in his heart. Tio actually already knew who he was. He is not the son of Mila and her father.

Lately, Tio accidentally found out who he was when he accidentally saw a worn map containing a toilet from the hospital, she was adopted by her father and mother as an infant.

His heart did not fall when he found out that he was not the biological child of Miss Mila. He was very grateful because it was abandoned by his biological mother but fell in the hands of the foster mother like Mila.

Not even just that. She also felt grateful that her feelings for Susi were not a mistake.

But only now he is ready to fight for his feelings, now broken by the reality he just heard with his own ears. A man named Tristan was in his home and declared his intentions in front of his mother.

Tio will slowly step back from that feeling. He realized that from the beginning Susi did not respond and even firmly rejected his feelings. While the man who is in his house at this time, is a man who has a chance because it does have the same taste as Susi.

"There's a guest.." Said Tio pura² after previously he strengthened his heart before leaving the room.

Everyone in the room turned to the source of the sound.

"Tio.. Here, there's Susi's friend son.." Madam Mila hesitated

Tio's eyes stared at the three in an quarantine manner.

"Oh, just continue.." Tio said a small smile at Tristan trying to be friendly

"Ma, I'm out first.. Got business. Don't wait for me to come home, I'll have dinner outside.." Tio said goodbye.

Although it was not her flesh and blood, Mila knew that Tio was deliberately avoiding her. From the look in her eyes, Mila knew that something was being hidden by the child about the arrival of Tristan to her home.

"Nak Tristan, Susi, mama ahead for a while.. You guys, please have a chat.." Mila said rushing after Tio who had just exited to her car.

"Tio.. Wait son.." Stop Mila's mom when Tio just got in and locked the door.

"What's the matter ma..?" Tio asked astonished to see the mother who approached him

"Where are you going..?" Ask Miss Mila to make sure.

"There's business.." Tio said as he pleased.

"Yes but what business..? It can't be an office.." Said Mila's mother who was not satisfied with the answer from the child.

"Is it because of the presence of Susi's friend that makes you have to go out to dodge..?" Accuse mom Mila of looking at Tio full of investigation.

Tio leaned his back on the back of the car seat while closing his eyes. Ms. Mila eventually weakened knowing that her accusation was true even though the child did not answer.

"*Do I have to be honest with Tio that she is not my biological child and give her the blessing to pursue Susi..?"

"But what if Tio is disappointed after finding out he is not my biological child, not a cousin with Susi*..?" Inner bu Mila

While inside the house, in the living room, Susi and Tristan were struggling. Susi did not accept the attitude of Tristan who arrived suddenly after so many days without news. Even the incident at the cafe at that time was still clear in his mind.

It was as if Tristan was deliberately drawing out his feelings. Susi feels being played by Tristan at this time.

The accusation made Tristan unacceptable. He never felt like he was playing with Susi's feelings. Until the debate happens.

"You can never see my work Susi.. You kept avoiding me until I found you again.." Tristan said with great emphasis.

"Don't hurt Tristan.. Don't you know why I did that..? Even our relationship has never been clear before.."

"You come as you please and act all you want without thinking about how I feel.." Susi said she didn't want to lose.

Tristan speechless. If not at Mila's house, she would have vented her emotions. He could only hold back for fear of being heard by Ms. Mida.

"Please come home from here.. I still have a lot of work delayed because of your arrival here.." Send Susi away without looking at Tristan.

Tristan who was driven out like that by her heart, of course, felt disappointed. Without thinking any more, Tristan got up from his seat and came out without saying goodbye.

While outside the house, Tristan sees Mila talking to Tio who is behind the wheel.

Madam Mila who looked at Tio's direction and followed him, was surprised to see Tristan coming out in a hurry.

"I'm going home aunty, Tio.. Thanks for the welcome.. Excuse me.." Tristan said, leaving without waiting for an answer from Mila and Tio.

"What's the matter ma..?" Tanya Tio arrived

Madam Mila simply replied with a head bobbing sign of ignorance.

" Yes baby.. Do you mind if we have to split up..?" Tanya Rayan tested the feelings of the wife.

Ayana shook her head slowly. Her eyes on her husband were still filled with questions. But he chose silence.

" Don't look at me like that, baby. I don't have to be apart.." Said Rayan pura sadly.

Ayana lowered her head and chose to continue cutting the vegetables she would cook with oxtail soup.

"Or do I just stop being a doctor and stay here with you and the Prince..?" Rayan said arriving.

But instead of answering, Ayana actually looked at the husband's face when she remembered something.

"Mas, Arman's mother called me mas.." Ayana was waiting for the husband's reaction

"Continue..?" Answer Rayan cuek.

"She asked for help just like her time in the hospital.. I really don't want to deal with Arman mas anymore.." Ayana said still by looking at the bead of the husband's eyes.

"Why..?" Tanya Rayan was brief.

"Bag.." Kesal Ayana's.

Rayan took a slow breath.

"I'm serious, why..? Isn't it now that I'm also going to move errands out of town..?" Rayan said casually.

"Do you want me to take care of Arman like a wife..?" Ayana demanded an answer.

"Do you want to do it..?" Ask Rayan

"I wonder just as you.. Is the departure of you moving this task is what you expect because you are bored every day there is me on the side of Rayan mas..? "

"If it's like that, go and I'll stay at mom's house again like I used to.." Ayana was disappointed.

Ayana finished her cooking show and took off the apron and walked towards her room.

Rayan who initially will give a surprise because it has been promoted to be the head of the surgical room that was given by the hospital when Rayan managed the most difficult surgery of cancer patients, patients with cancer, being a failure after the intention to prank the wife first ended with a misunderstanding of the ex-husband of Ayana.

Rayan tries to swallow her ego and catches up with her in their room. But when the door opened, Rayan found Ayana sitting hugging her legs on the sofa.

Sobs sounded though very faint. Rayan, who knew how gentle the wife felt, tried to approach her and sat down beside her.

Ayana straightened her head when she found out that Rayan was sitting next to her and turned towards Rayan.

"What mas.."

Uncompleted, Ayana gasped as Rayan wrapped her lips in her kiss. Ayana patted Rayan's chest in annoyance.

The one in the clap was silent without objection.

"Bag.." Kesal Ayana's.

"I'm sorry.. You know how I feel about you.. I am jealous of Ayana.. And it's just the same you.."

"You are my wife, mine, the mother of my son.. There's no need for you to ask my opinion to refuse your former in-laws' request.." Said Rayan staring at the bead of the wife's eyes that were still wet because of the tears.

"I lied about moving errands.. I was entrusted with the control of the surgical room.. Everything concerning surgery and the use of the surgical room must be with my consent.. I was appointed section chief.." Obviously Rayan did not want to cover up anymore.

Ayana stared silently at her husband. Either relieved because of nowhere or upset because the husband had to work on it.

Ayana finally softened. He grabbed the body of the husband and hugged him tightly. Not to be outdone, Rayan grabbed Ayana's body with a feeling.

"Without me talking, you already know what answer you have to answer to your former in-laws..?" Rayan said after they took off the hug.

"Unless you really want to do it.." Another imbibing.

Ayana reviewed the smile. In the kiss of the lips of the husband so as not to talk something that actually hurt his own feelings.
