THORNS IN MARRIAGE

THORNS IN MARRIAGE
CHAPTER 17 - HELPING STRANGE MOTHERS



Like the spirit leaving the body. My body seemed to float like a fragile piece of paper flying in an indeterminate direction.


Empty heart. My soul's empty.


Knees tremble to recall flashbacks for the sake of flashbacks my grim life story.


Death is the best. That's what's on my mind.


But I am also afraid of death. Fear of life after death. Fear of being a creature that the Creator does not acknowledge for having castrated His favor.


Lordy! If this continues the fate of my life, I am more pleased You take my spirit back to Your Holiness. Lordy! If my life's destiny had to be like this, I'd be more sincere You give it back to my homeland You created. Lord... Just take my spirit, Lord! I can no longer accept trials!


My prayer is in the heart, filled with the power of the soul in the Almighty.


Until suddenly...


"Please take Mom to Mom's house, Beautiful Son!"


A middle-aged mother was heard crying at a woman standing beside me.


"Sorry, Mother! I can't get between Mom, I'm in a hurry!" reject the beautiful woman while raising her hands with a smile.


Before long the girl got on the bus that had just arrived and stopped in front of her.


"Where is your mother?" I tried to question the mother. But the response was unexpected.


"I didn't ask for help, Ma'am!"


I immediately swallowed.


Lordy! Do I have a damn curse? Even a middle-aged woman my mother's age would not accept my help?


"I can take you if you want!" say again.


"No need!"


The oala! This pain at once heart pain. How I am not considered to be anyone on this earth! Hix... Unknowingly my tears fell.


"Eh? Why _why are you crying? I don't hate Ma'am, I... Just refuse your help because.., haish! I became like the Antagonist Mothers in soap operas! Yes, come on... If you're gonna take me home!"


I'm rattled. But more confused by the strange words of the Mother that I want to help.


"Remove your tears! People will think I'm your stepmother!" whispered the Mother while nudging my shoulder with her elbow.


But my tears even grew and my sobs grew.


"Huaa... Haaa hik hik!"


"Hey, Ma! No crying! Cup cup cup! Sorry, sorry.if my words made you so sad! Sorry..."


I ignored the words of that mother who kept docking me. He rubbed my shoulders gently. Saying soft sentences with a smooth voice. But I forgot my problem with him. All I remember is sadness for the sake of sadness in my life. What I can imagine is how much my life is ruined now not knowing the direction of the goal.


"Sorry, sorry, dear Neng! Sorry Mom!"


My mother comforted me again. Clutching my head until it splits on his shoulder. My sadness is growing. I tightly hugged his uncombed body and only occasionally I heard his breath.


Till...


Treeet tree tree


The sound of the hape vibrates. Apparently from the small bag he was holding.


"Hello, Jordan! Aye! Aye! Mommy's still on the road! Mommy's going home! Aye! Mommy there's this problem again! Mommy..., make a woman cry!"


I just realized that he heard his voice say something on a cell phone conversation with someone.


Maybe his son is looking for him!


"Sorry! Sorry I made it so hard for you!" after he ended his phone call.


"No, Mom's sorry, huh? Mom already said rudely hurt Neng's feelings! Pardon...! I'm saying excuse me. My son called!"


The mother got up from her seat. Let's go after we shake hands. Suddenly,


"Dwoooh! My legs are cramping! Ow hell! Ouch!"


I grabbed his shoulder.


"What do you want to ride? What department store? Let me help you get in the car, or..."


"Sorry, Neng! Stop the cab, will you? I'll just take a taxi!"


"All right, you wait here, okay? I call a taxi!


My brain is back to normal thinking. Even though my heart was broken into pieces and mixed feelings were not good, at least I still had the empathy and sympathy to help this cute Mother.


"Taxi!"


An empty taxi stopped by the road.


"Anyway, sir?"


I went back to the bus stop. Helped get Mom to the cab I stopped.


"Mom can be alone?"


"Will Neng come to Mom's house?"


I'm termangu. Long enough but immediately looked at his feet which still looked in pain. I decided to nod my head.


"alright. I'll take you to the front of Mom's house, okay?"


"Thank you, Neng!"


I got in the cab.


Little surprised when the Mother mentioned an elite housing name in the North of the Capital. But I don't want to nosy about wondering the truth.


The Sunter Podomoro elite residential area. Mediterranean Complex. Of course it makes me worry even more that this mother is lying.


"Just go inside the gate, Mom! Pass security post!" said the mother.


He opened the window and waved his hand at a security guard in full uniform.


"Mother Tiur? Please, Sir!" security said while opening the security gate portal of the luxury housing complex.


This... Not wrong khan?


I glanced at Mother whose name was Mother Tiur and apparently was quite well known by the security guards of the gatehouse complex.


"That's, in front of that black gate, my house!"


I'm gawking. Unnerved. Apparently this mother is a rich man.


"Mommy!?! Where else? Why have you been going out lately without Jordan's permission or ART ?"


Someone sitting in an electric wheelchair. A handsome-looking man with a firm jawline. It made me look at him right away.


"Mom, I'm going straight home!" I said after helping him get off the taxi.


"Wait on! Come down first! I have done wrong. I want to pay for my mistakes on Eneng!"


A man in uniform gave some money to the taxi driver who took us.


"I_mom? No, you don't have any fault with me. I was just sad and carried away. Pardon me! I'll excuse you!"


"Please! I am a person who does not like to be rejected. Enter first! Want huh?"


I feel bad.


A woman dressed in white directly led Mother Tiur. The woman in the uniform was her nurse.


"Mommy! Next time can't come out without telling me!" said the man sitting in a wheelchair as he accompanied our steps into the grand mansion.


"Yes, yes! Mami just wants to finish Mami's job, Jordan!"
