There's Only You
CHAPTER 44 - I Trust My Husband
The activities of Aurora who was preparing breakfast for her and her husband were interrupted when they heard the sound of a bell ringing. Curiously, he walked to the front door to meet his guests.
The smile of sumringah was engraved on his face when he saw his mother's face on the monitor screen. Although he felt astonished to see his mother visit his apartment early in the morning like this. Soon they will meet. Aurora did not dispute it. He immediately opened the door and greeted the arrival of his mother with excitement.
"Eh Mama? Come on in Ma" Aurora guided her mother into the apartment, with a bright smile on her pretty face. Divia nodded and followed her son.
"Why press the bell all the way Ma? I thought who. Why not just go in? Mama also knew her paascode" asked Aurora. The two walked through room after room in the spacious and luxurious apartment unit.
"Mama just doesn't feel good. It's still morning. You and your husband are still sleeping"
"Mama Tumben's part here early in the morning? Want to meet me? Why not just wait to be distracted? Will I be there soon?"
"Why indeed? Can't Mama go to the house of her own son and daughter-in-law? My mom hasn't been here in a long time either. My mom has rarely met her husband lately. Is she lazy, or reluctant to meet her mother-in-law?" Accuse Divia.
Aurora looked at her mama and tilted her face, with a gentle smile expanding on her face. "Mama don't talk like that. Alwi didn't mean it that way. She loved and respected Mama as her father-in-law. It's just that lately he's been very busy, his gig schedule is always crowded. That's why he always never got to see his mom"
"Starting with his duet partner, what's his name?" Divia frowned and narrowed her eyes.
"Delia?" Ask Aurora.
"Yes...."
"Good morning dear...." The conversation of the mother and child was interrupted when suddenly Alwi appeared and reprimanded his wife with a baritone voice. "Eh Mama? Mama's here? When's come? Tumben's here early in the morning?"
Alwi was a little surprised to see the presence of his mother-in-law in his apartment this early in the morning. He walked up to the two women, then greeted the Divia and kissed the back of her mother-in-law's hand with courtesy.
"Mama has just come here dear" Divia smiled gently and kindly answered her daughter-in-law's question.
"Oh" said Alwi.
"Al, you're tidy, you're leaving?" Divia asked when she realized that her daughter-in-law looked neat and fragrant, in her casual clothes that gave her a masculine impression.
"Yes Ma, here I go. Today my mangosteen schedule is quite solid, maybe until night. This morning we had a dress rehearsal" replied Alwi.
"I'm sorry baby, I can't keep you company today. Because today my schedule is also tight. Tonight we also have a fashion show" Typal Aurora with a gloomy face and a little regret.
"Yes, it's okay, no problem. There will be Reno and the others accompanying me. You just focus on your work" replied Alwi understand with a soft voice accompanied by a warm smile.
"Yes already, I walk first huh" Alwi was about to turn around to walk, but Aurora again made a sound.
"You didn't have breakfast? We had breakfast with Mom"
Lately he rarely has time just to eat with his wife, due to his increasingly congested schedule since Delia joined their music label.
"Yes already then, I prepared the provisions, yes, for you to eat there later" Aurora was about to step her foot, but Alwi immediately prevented it.
"No, I'll stop by the restaurant, because I'm late"
"Not for long, just five minutes" Aurora insisted.
"But...."
"Just five minutes waiting for your wife to prepare you for supplies, you do not have time, because it has been awaited by your duet friend? Is your duet friend more important than your wife, whom you say you love so much? Would your friend be upset if you came a little late, because your wife has helped him a lot?"
The Divia who had just been silent watching the conversation of the child and his daughter-in-law, finally spoke up in a soft but piercing voice. Seeing the attitude of Alwi who seems to prioritize his duet partner rather than his daughter, makes Divia can no longer bear to not express what she feels.
Alwi was speechless and dumbstruck at the accusations and glare given by her mother-in-law. It was quite unexpected that her mother-in-law would have such negative thoughts towards her.
Though he only tried to be professional as his wife often said, and tried to be able to establish a good relationship with his work partner. That's all, nothing more. But, has his attitude been excessive, to make his in-laws disappointed and misunderstood?
"Mom, how do you talk like that?" Aurora who felt bad for her husband got such accusations from her mother directly reprimanding Divia.
"That's not what I mean Ma. I'm...." Timpal Alwi. He was so nervous and confused about what to explain, to refute the allegations addressed by his mother-in-law.
"After all, we should not have to argue early" Aurora raised and moved her hands forward, trying to break up the ongoing debate and tension between her mother and husband.
"Yes, I have prepared the provisions first" Aurora left Alwi who still looked nervous and tense looking at the mistress of her mother.
About ten minutes later Alwi left the apartment after receiving provisions prepared by his wife. After the departure of her husband, Aurora sat talking with her mother in the family room.
"Ma, Mama why the hell, was talking like that to Alwi?"
"Why indeed? Is there something wrong with what Mama said?" The question asked by her daughter made Divia ask back flatly and in a firm tone.
He did not feel that his attitude and words towards his son-in-law were wrong. That's exactly the purpose of coming here, because you want to discuss the problem that is very hampering in his heart.
"Yes, it was clearly wrong Ma. I know Alwi can't be like that. I believe in my husband. And I knew that Alwi would never betray me. Her and Delia's relationship is just a job. Not more. I knew Alwi would never turn his back on me, because he loved me so much.
And Delia is my best friend. That was why Alwi was trying to maintain a good relationship with the girl. That's all right. Moreover, I have asked Alwi to help Delia. So please don't think anything about Alwi. I'm afraid that Mama's accusation will make her think and uncomfortable" Sanggah Aurora softly defended her husband.
