THE STRUGGLE OF A WIDOW

GRIEFS

Two days have passed. But Susi still continues to grieve her for what happened between her and Tio on that night.

Even Susi continued to shy away from Tio when they were the same at home. All of that did not escape the attention of Mila. But this time Madam Mila no longer intends to interfere in the affairs of the child and his favorite pound.

Seeing the child who just came out of the room with a fresh face and casual clothes that make it more charming, intending to approach with a researching gaze.

"Yo, today mama's coming home tonight. There are a lot of cake orders these days. Mama asked you not to bother Susi, she was busy with the script. If you are hungry, mama has prepared food, you stay warm again. " Milah's message as she prepares to leave for her cake shop

"Alhamdulillah shop mama more rame ya ma. Bestselling and blessings for mom's efforts. " Tio said without intending to approve the mother's message

"Tio. Listen to your mom's message?" Tanya ma Mila looked at the child with a sharp look

It's not what. Madam Mila just does not want the relationship of the two more separated because of the attitude of the child who is not liked by her father. Moreover, Madam Mila knows, Susi already knows Tio's feelings for her that make her uncomfortable.

"Yes dear mama. I also have an event this afternoon with my office partner. So I can't be at home and bother mama's favorite pound." Replied Tio in a slow tone

"Tio. " Tegur the mama with the attitude of the child who seemed lazy for his words

"Mama, mama why the hell do I keep suspecting me? I won't do anything about Susi even though I want to. That's because I'm still sane." Tio who had been patient, gentle and obedient, never strange strange, now seemed rebellious.

Madam Mila to not believe the attitude of the child who is now in front of her. Madam Mila could only look at Tio with a look of disbelief.

"Sorry ma. I didn't mean to. I just don't think you can trust me that much." Tio said lowered his head

"Mama left first, Assalamualaikum" Mila looks disappointed with the attitude of the child who just this time behaved like that to him.

Seeing the mother's disappointed attitude, Tio cursed himself who could usually hurt the feelings of the mother he so loved. Tio rubbed his face rough.

In the doorway of the middle room, Susi who intended to take drinking water in the kitchen, could only remain silent in her place without intending to continue her steps. Susi overhears a debate between the mother and the child about her.

Realizing Susi's whereabouts, Tio looked at Susi with an unreadable look. With a slow step, Tio approached Susi and stroked Susi's head.

"sorry. Sorry for all my work. You have a right to be angry. I accept it because I was wrong to do something to keep your distance from me." Say Tio softly

Susi was silent. He is confused what to behave. Seeing Susi's silent gaze, Tio turned to stroke Susi's cheek with a small smile.

"I have a show with my office friends, you have something you need or want a message what let me buy if I'm home?" Tio's question made Susi realized from her daydream that had been either silent about what.

"I don't need anything. If there is, I can try it myself.' Susi said then with a can she walk towards the kitchen which had been her initial goal since.

Tio looked at the back of Susi who was now passing from before him. His heart was suddenly saddened to see Susi's attitude and rejection. They used to be so close, often throwing jokes. But ever since Susi learned of Tio's feelings for her, Susi began to keep her distance until now.

"Why is his attitude as normal after what he did to me? She was the same as Tristan, after snatching my kiss, her attitude was as if nothing had happened" Upset Susi after finishing sipping a glass of water to neutralize her heart and mind.

Susi suddenly jerked and almost dropped her used glass on the floor because of Tio's actions.

"I'm sorry. Don't ignore me like this. Even if you don't return my feelings, at least act the way you used to. I miss the old Susi. The cheerful, the joking even the ignorant." Tio said softly behind Susi's back

Tio's hand so tightly hugged Susi's waist from behind. His head was leaning against Susi's back.

"Please Tio. Don't be like this." This time Susi was gentle

Susi removed Tio's hand from her stomach and slowly turned to face her cousin. Tio looked down with a sad face. Susi continued to look at Tio's beautiful face with a feeling that she herself did not know what it was like.

"I'm not comfortable with the feelings you have towards me. Moreover, your attitude of attention is clearly not a form of attention as a brother, but more." Said Susi staring at the face of Tio who was still looking down in front of her.

" It's not that someone else is approaching me. But because I can't return your feelings because you're my brother. "

" I'm not your brother." Tio's speech cuts off Susi's speech

" I'm not your brother Susi. I'm not their real son. I'm the son that was taken from the hospital that my birth parents threw away heartlessly." Further

This time their eyes were clashing. Susi could see the look of disappointment in Tio's eyes. Not for him but for someone he just said.

"Is it because it's what makes you dislike me when I prank you? Is it because of my obscure origins that make you unwilling to be loved by me?" Said Tio with a look of despair

Susi shook her head looking at Tio. Susi does not expect that Tio already knows the origin of her who is not the child of her aunt.

"I'm sure you know who I am." Continue again when you see the look on Susi's face that does not look surprised by her identity.

"It's not about that, Tio. I already knew. But it wasn't long ago. But honestly, not because of that." Susi

Tio smiled laughing at himself inwardly. I feel sorry for what happened to him.

"You just calm down. After this you no longer need to spend your time in the room just to avoid me." Tio looked at Susi's sweet face

"Because from tomorrow, I'll be living in my new home. Please keep mama company, let her not feel lonely in this house." Tio said then rushed away from the presence of Susi who was still fixated with what entered her hearing.

The sound of Tio's car engine slowly moved away from Mila's home page. Susi just woke up from her attitude. Her tears fell across her chuby cheeks.

"That's not what I meant Yo. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm supposed to get out of here, not you." Susi said, but unfortunately Tio was no longer in her room and did not hear her words.

The night is getting late. The time is now 09.40 minutes. Where Arman just got home from his office and threw his tired body on the sofa of the family room. Arman laid his body flat.

His mind kept glaring far away. So hard he remembered the mass of women who claimed to be his second wife when a few days ago who accidentally passed in front of him, while he and Ayana were discussing their relationship in front of the nursery, Rizal, his father.

"Who exactly is he. Is she really my wife. Why I don't know him. Why can't my heart and memory tell me anything about him other than Ayana." Inner Arman

Arman took a deep breath while thinking hard about everything he had been through for some time.

A moment passed the shadow of the boy who smiled cheerfully. The pain he felt when he remembered the child.

"Yuki, I miss you, son. Where are you really? Is it true that in the tomb is you son? Why don't you feel like I can't admit it's your truth." Lirih Arman with tears coming out of the corner of his eyes that were closed.
