There's Only You

CHAPTER 26 - Want to Meet Alwi

Arifin who no longer cared about the woman's anger said.

"You don't care about your daughter's feelings. You only care about your own feelings. You're just busy thinking about your heartache, my past mistakes. Until you don't want to know, whether your attitude has made your daughter happy, or just miserable.

All this time, he always tried to keep your feelings. To make you happy. He always defends you. But can't you, just once understand his feelings? Understand the desire of his heart. Our child is not a puppet, which you can always direct according to your wishes. He also has his own heart and desires.

I'm not asking you to bless him with Alwi. But I want to, you can give them a little chance to prove their love. Give Alwi one chance to prove that he really loves our daughter. And he was able to make Aurora happy.

Because their problem with our problem was, it was different. Their relationship takes place, on the basis of love between the two sides. Unlike the relationship we used to have, which happened on the basis of matchmaking. And from the beginning of our marriage, you know, that I never loved you.

So easily, Mauli entered my heart, and filled a place you could never fill. And do not equate me with Alwi, who from the beginning had loved our daughter. And not necessarily the place Aurora lived in, could be easily filled by other women"

Divia was silent and pensive at Arifin's long talk. He admitted that some of what the man said was true. Their marriage was due to an arranged marriage. Not because of love.

And from the beginning, only she loved her husband. Arifin, however, never showed any love towards her.

But.... Can that be an excuse for an affair?

Arifin sighed before continuing in a low tone of voice. "That's all I want to say. I hope you can consider it, for the sake of our daughter's happiness"

Arifin got up and walked, leaving the Divia still sitting with a raging mind. Arifin's words continued to ring in his eyes.

Has she really been a selfish mother? The mother who curbed her own daughter's freedom? Was it true that all this time he had already depressed Aurora and suffered with his attitude?

What's he supposed to do now? Should he let Aurora be with the singer, for the sake of her happiness?

Aurora and Divia ate their dinner in a quiet atmosphere. The two are silent to each other. Only the sound of spoons and forks clashing against each other.

It had been a week since that night, they ate and did other activities in such an atmosphere. It seemed that Aurora still felt disappointed by her mother's attitude.

"I'm done. Now I'm sleepy. I went to the room first yes" Aurora said flat as soon as the food in her plate was eaten.

"Aurora wait" Divia said as Aurora was about to move out of her chair. Her mother's voice spontaneously made Aurora's intention void.

"There's something Mama wants to talk to you about" said Divia flatly without and without looking at her daughter.

"What does Mama want to talk about? If it's about Alwi, Mama take it easy, since that night, I've never seen him again. I also never picked up the phone from him, nor did I reply to the messages he sent. Until he gave up, and never called me again. I hope Mama is satisfied with all this"

"Do you really love him?"

"Why did Mom suddenly ask that? I don't think I need to answer that. If I had never really loved her, there would have been no secret relationship between the two of us behind Mama's back"

"Why did you suddenly want to meet Alwi? What would Mama want to see him?" Aurora looked at Mama with a puzzled frown.

"You will know for yourself. You can contact him. And tell me that Mama wants to meet. Mama will tell you about the place and time" replied Divia before moving on and passing.

Leaving Aurora who was staring at her Mama's back in confusion. His heart kept wondering. What else did your mother want this time? Why suddenly want to be met with Alwi?

Doesn't Mama believe that she's really out of touch with him? So he wants to ascertain the truth from Alwi himself directly?

The Alwi concert that night went smoothly and successfully. He performed three songs, with a performance that managed to amaze the audience, especially the loyal fans.

Although his mood was still chaotic at the thought of Aurora, he was determined to remain focused and professional on his career issues. He was also getting used to this kind of situation. A situation without Aurora in his life.

Once the part was done, Alwi headed straight for the dressing room to change clothes, and got ready to leave that stage location.

Suddenly, his phone rang. He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out his phone. His eyes widened when he read Aurora's name as the caller. Either he should feel happy or sad, because this girl suddenly contacted him back, when he had resigned and let their relationship to end.

Why did Aurora suddenly call him back? Does the girl want to invite him to continue their relationship, even without the blessing of his mother? Or the.... Want to make it clear that this relationship is really over, and no longer left?

Such a question kept spinning in Alwi's mind, before he finally decided to raise the voice call doubtfully.

"Hallo. The aurora? Is this really you?" Alwi makes sure with deg-degan.

"Yes Al, it's me" Aurora replied across the street in a soft-sounding voice.

"Finally after a week or so, I can again hear your beautiful voice. Although only through mobile phones" Alwi smiled between sad and happy.

"I'm sorry for...."

"You don't have to apologize. Because I understand your position. And I can only say that you did the right thing. After all, mother is everything. Because your paradise is on him. And not necessarily, heaven can move on to me. So you don't have to feel guilty for what happened between us. You do not need to regret your decision" said Alwi accompanied by a bitter smile.

"Thank you very much Al, for your understanding. I really appreciate it. Actually my purpose in contacting you is.... Because of Mama" Aurora said doubtfully.

"What happened to your mother? He's okay, right?" Alwi asked with a bit of anxiety and brows furrowed.

"Yes, my mom is fine. And he wants to see you"

"Tante Divia wants to see me? What's wrong? Does he not believe that our relationship has been..... Ended up?" Alwi asked in confusion.
