The Ugly Wife's

Obsession Train

William decided to return home, after two days of incitement from his family as well as Zenith, and the girl's family.

"William! You finally came home, baby. Mommy's so worried about you, you're okay, right?" greet Ratih who immediately approached William.

William, still angry at his mother for their actions against Asyifa, was reluctant to answer the woman's question. He nodded his head at a glance, then walked up to the second floor.

Although upset was treated like that by his son, but Ratih tried not to show it at all. She preferred to call her husband to come home to see William.

While William who was already in his room, immediately laid his body that felt tired on the mattress.

Just now he was about to fall asleep, when the sound of the phone benefited his intention. William's face brightened instantly, when he saw the name Asyifa on his phone screen.

"Hello, Ashifa. What's up?"

"Hello also William. Sorry to interrupt, are you resting?"

"No, I don't feel tired at all. I'm just exercising right now, what's up?"

"Good then. I just wanted to ask, do you want to go shopping together? I want to find some stuff to take with me on vacation, the day after tomorrow."

"Shop together? We two? Of course I want to!" william answered with vigor while standing up.

"Actually it's not just the two of us who leave, but all the team members will go shopping together"

"Ah, it turns out so" said William again sitting limp. The glimmer of hope that had appeared in his heart, instantly disappeared just like that.

"Well, William, Mira called me. The four of us will go first and wait for you at Zero mall"

"After Asyifa, don't tell me you're going with Zidan?"

"Yes. See you there well William" said Asyifa before disconnecting the phone.

"Damn! I could be a step late from Zidan!" william's grumble was upset. He immediately grabbed his car keys on the table and rushed out.

"William, are you home? Why do you seem to be in such a hurry, are you going again?" ask Rizal who looks like he just got home.

"Yes, daddy. William has to go somewhere with William's friends"

"But you just got home, baby. Shouldn't you just rest at home? Mommy's gonna cook your favorite food"

"Thank you, but William will eat out. William said yes daddy, because they must be waiting for me right now"

"Well, be careful driving it. Don't come home too late, and if you want to stay outside, don't forget to tell daddy"

"Good daddy"

Seeing the figure of William who passed from there without saying goodbye to him, make Patih's patience run out. He was about to leave to catch up with William, but was soon arrested by Rizal.

"Where are you going? Don't tell me, you want to get William into a fight?"

"Who wants to get William into a fight, I just want to stop him from going outside. Letting her cancel the marriage with Zenith, and leave the house without news for two days, wasn't it more than enough to make her feel better!"

"That's why William is against you now. All because of your nature that wants all your desires to always be obeyed. William is already a big boy, you shouldn't have to manage everything in his life"

"I did all this for the good of William, Rizal! I just want our son to have the perfect home life like his brother and both of us!"

"Our households are not perfect. Didn't you notice at all, if I accidentally took all the business trips and let William run the company? That's all I do, to get away from you!"

"What do you mean Rizal, isn't our relationship all right?" tanya Ratih did not believe what her husband said.

"That's because I didn't show it to you, if all this time I was depressed about your nature that always wanted to be obeyed. I feel like you're the leader of this household, and I'm just the one who has to follow all of your words"

"No. You must be lying, there is no way our household can be that bad. I've made our household perfect, haven't I?"

"I beg you, Ratih, stop all your obsessions to make everything perfect. Enough households and lives we both just destroyed, lest it happen to our two sons"

Ratih could only slowly fall limp on the floor, not believing all his efforts had ended in failure. He then began to cry hysterically there, as if he did not want to accept the reality.

"Not everything in your life has to be perfect, as your parents implanted it. You also deserve to be happy, Ratih" continued Rizal, trying to calm his wife.

But Ratih who was out of control, did not want to listen to anything more from Rizal. He closed both ears and started screaming hysterically, making all the workers in his house run in because they were curious.

"Sir, what happened to madam?" asked Ida worried about seeing the condition of her female employer.

"You don't need to know, just call Haykal to come here soon"

"Young master Haykal is indeed on his way here for lunch here sir"

"Then, call our family doctor. Tell him to come as soon as possible"

"Okay sir" Ida answered obediently to the landline.

Suddenly from the outside came the voices of Kana and Haykal, who scolded the other workers for gathering at the door.

Both of them became equally surprised with Ida, when they saw the condition of Ratih who was still shouting hysterically while unceasingly crying.

"Mommy! What happened to mommy, daddy? Why did mommy become like this?" haykal asked worriedly and immediately hugged Ratih's body.

Unlike when Rizal wanted to touch her, this time Ratih instead let Haykal to hug her. He even hugged the body of his eldest son tightly as if he did not want to be separated.

"Calm mommy, Haykal's here. Please, don't cry anymore"

"Mommy has succeeded. Please tell mommy that mommy has succeeded" pinta Ratih with a clear voice.

"Yes, mommy has succeeded. Whatever you do, Haykal always knows that everything will work out"

Hearing Haykal's words, made Ratih become calmer. Only occasionally does he seem to still be as hiccuping.

When he saw Ratih beginning to calm down and fall asleep, Haykal slowly released his mother's embrace. He let his father take over his position to carry the mother to the room.

"Daddy knows you must be very curious to know what happened to mommy. Daddy will definitely tell you and Kana, but now let daddy take care of mommy first while waiting for the doctor to come to check on her" Rizal said before actually leaving the living room.

Kana who felt Haykal's anxiety, could only gently stroke the shoulder of the man she loved.

"God, why are you shopping this much for just five days of vacation? It's Angel's waste, Mira!"

"Asyifa, it never hurts to occasionally pamper yourself with your own hard-earned money"

"The thing Angel said. And also we are going to vacation abroad, well even if only five days, but it should be used as well as possible is not it?"

"But my question is, why should I bring all your groceries? Are you really tired of working for my company?" zidan asked as he raised both of his hands full of shopping bags.

"But that doesn't mean you can make me your daughter, too, Mira! I can't take it, bring back your bags!"

"Good, basic calculation. What's the point of all those big muscles, just carrying a bag of groceries won't!" grouse Mira.

"Here give it to me, let me also help bring them both" Asyifa asked as she extended a hand that held nothing.

"I changed my mind, let me bring it. William, you bring Angel's belongings, I'll bring Asyifa's and Mira's"

Without waiting for approval from William who was engrossed in seeing some models of glasses, Zidan handed all of Angel's belongings to the man.

As for himself, forcing Ashifa to give away her luggage, as well as taking back Mira's belongings that the girl had taken.

"The Ashifa turn that intervened, everything can be done well?" syndical Angel.

"Why have you recently become as chatty as Mira anyway, Angel? Don't talk much anymore, we better go get some lunch!" zidan said as he pulled Asyifa's hand away from there.

"William, what are you looking at? Come on, go to lunch first and then we continue shopping again"

"You guys go first, Angel. I want to buy something, I'll catch up soon"

"alright. Let's go Mira"

After making sure everyone was gone, William immediately stepped foot into a jewelry store next to the eyeglass shop they had just visited.

The store staff greeted him kindly, then led him to the area of the longest beautiful ring model range, when William said he wanted to buy a ring.

"If you may know, whose ring is it for, sir? Maybe I can help you choose a suitable model"

"I want to buy it for the girl I like. I plan to propose to her soon"

"It's romantic. What if this one is it, sir? This is the latest model that many young women love" the store staff said, showing William a ring with a simple but very beautiful model.

Seeing the ring, immediately made William remember the figure of Asyifa who was also very simple but so beautiful in his eyes.

"I'll just take this one"

"Well, I'll wrap it up, sir"

"No need to put it in a shopping bag, just give it directly in the box"

"Good sir"

William came out of the shop with a face full of smiles looking at the ring box in his grasp. He became impatient to immediately take a vacation and proposed to Asyifa there.

"I'll tell daddy about my plan when I get home. I'm sure daddy will definitely support my desire to propose to Asyifa" William told him, putting the ring box in his pants pocket and rushing after the others.

*****

William looked at the astonished state of his house that looked so deserted without anyone. Usually mommy will soon come to greet him, when he just arrived at their doorstep.

"She, where are you?" william was looking for his housekeeper.

"Yes sir" replied Ida immediately approached William hurriedly down the stairs leading to the second room of William's parents.

"Where has everyone gone, why is the house so quiet tonight?"

"Everything is in the master's room. There are young masters Haykal and non Kana as well as family doctors as well, master"

"Doctor? Who's sick until there's a doctor?"

"The sick lady sir. But if you say sick, there is no part of the body of the mistress who was injured. Well, Ida forgot what her name is sir"

"Yes, you go back to the kitchen and prepare dinner. Let me see what happens myself"

"Good sir"

Although William was still very angry with his mother, but he could not feel no worry too when he heard the news of his mother falling ill. Especially until their family doctor was called, of course, not ordinary pain.

William knew very well what his mother was like. Ratih is a woman who will not want to go to the doctor just because of ordinary pain. For him, going to the doctor when sick is tantamount to showing that he is weak and can't do anything, and he hates it very much.

"William, are you home?" rizal asked when he saw William coming in.

"What happened to mommy, daddy? Wasn't it before I left, mommy was still fine?" william was surprised to see his mother lying helplessly on the bed.

Rizal seems hesitant to say it, because there is still a doctor there. He does not want to let outsiders know about the condition of his household, just the mental state of his wife that they know.

"Sorry Mr. Rizal, it seems I have to leave immediately, because there are still patients that I have to check. If there is anything, please contact me at any time" said the doctor as if to understand the turmoil that Rizal felt.

"Please doc. Thanks for the help, let me take you forward"

"No, I can do it myself. It is better for Mr. Rizal and the children to accompany Mr. Ratih only" refused the doctor and then came out of the room.

Rizal then sat beside Ratih's body while gently grasping the hand of the woman who had accompanied him all this time.

"It's all daddy's fault. Daddy who made your mommy's mental illness come back after a long time"

"Mental illness? What does daddy mean?" ask William not to believe it.

"Maybe the two of you don't remember it, because you were very young when mommy relapsed for the first time since our marriage. And at that time, daddy just found out, if it turns out your mommy has a mental illness due to hard upbringing from both parents"

"What mental illness does mommy suffer from daddy?" tanya Kana represents the two sisters who seem to be speechless anymore.

"Your mommy is obsessed with making everything around her perfect. Even daddy's life has long been controlled by mommy. And being so depressed, daddy can only avoid it by going on all business trips as a way out"

"So, letting William take over the company also meant daddy's plan to avoid mommy?"

"I'm sorry daddy William, but daddy can't hold it anymore. Even so, daddy loves your mommy so much even though our household has long been destroyed"

"Daddy said all this to mommy, so mommy can relapse and be what it is?" haykal asked, hoping his father would say no.

"I'm sorry daddy Haykal. Daddy can't keep it a secret anymore, because seeing your mommy's attitude starts to rule your sister's life. Daddy didn't want William's life to be ruined, just like daddy's life"

After finishing telling everything, Rizal covered his face and began to cry silently. William who saw how pitiful Rizal was now, could only hug the man's back tightly.

"It's not all daddy's fault. Daddy's been doing all that daddy can do to keep this family. Thank you daddy" said William sincerely.

Haykal and Kana then come closer to Rizal to give strength to him. Getting such treatment, making Rizal's tears more and more flowing wet his cheeks.

"Thank you for understanding daddy's position. Daddy hopes you can still accept mommy in your life, no matter what"
