When a girl comes home alone after marriage then all the eyes of her neighbors will wonder, Where is her husband. Same with Stella. He came alone to his hometown carrying a suitcase after so many years in the city of J, then the gaze of people seemed to want to ask what is it?
Stella entered her yard, and when she saw her mother sweeping the porch, Stella immediately ran to hug her.
"Mom...."
"Stella..." His mother was shocked and shocked. Because Stella came home without telling her. And she did not come with her husband.
"Mom, Stella misses mom and dad,"
"Your father just left for work. Where's your husband?"
"Ehm, Stella's home alone, ma'am,"
"Ohh, come on in, let me make you some warm tea first. You must be tired after a long trip, "His mother smiled without suspecting anything. Because as far as she was concerned, Alvin loved her daughter very much, so she felt calm even though Stella did not come with her husband.
"Thank you, ma'am" Stella said when her mother came to bring her a warm sweet tea.
"You're on Stella's holiday? Why don't you tell me if you want to go home?" asked her mother in a calm voice.
Suddenly Stella's eyes turned red and watery. No more power to save his disappointment and sorrow.
"Hic..hik....Stella has failed ma'am...."
Stella hugged her mother.
"Why, son? How did you cry? Is there a problem?" Only now after seeing the look in Stella's eyes and observing her with her instincts as a mother did she know that her daughter was grieving.
"What's up, son, tell me about mom,"
"Divorce?" His mother looked at Stella in shock. Unbelieving the word came out from the lips of her daughter whom she deeply cared about.
"Mother didn't hear wrong? You guys getting divorced? But why?"
"Mas Alvin cheated on Ma'am.and that woman already has a child,"
"What's? But your husband has loved you so much?"
Her mother doesn't believe her son-in-law cheated on her from Stella. Because all this time, his daughter-in-law was very kind and considerate. And it did not cross her mind in the slightest if her daughter-in-law would hurt her daughter's heart.
"True ma'am, but we live far away. Mas Alvin's got another serial wife out of town,"
"What's!? I didn't expect your husband to break Stella's heart,"
"Yes ma'am, I didn't expect our marriage to end in divorce either. Stella can't accept Mas Alvin anymore Mom, because Stella saw with her own head how Mas Alvin has betrayed,"
"Yes, now calm your heart, son. If you can't forgive her husband's mistakes, I won't force you. You will live your future later. Whatever your decision is, I'll always be with you, supporting you,"
"Mom's not mad we're getting a divorce?"
"Why should be angry. Your husband has hurt your heart. He has broken his promise to both of us. Your husband used to promise to make you happy, so mom and dad, give you to him. But if he hurts your heart, then mom and dad don't want you to be hurt like this,"
"Mother, thank you.Stella needs your support right now,"
"Yes son. If you do not want to improve your relationship with your husband, then you can decide to separate. People who cheat are hard to change. He does not hold a strong commitment to marriage. If in marriage, there must be honesty and together walk and keep each other from getting out of the path of truth. A new marriage can be happy, if only one is struggling, then it cannot succeed. Both must fight and try to keep the marriage lasting and happy" said her mother, stroking Stella's hair.
Stella put her head on her mother's lap and cried because her wound was new and still painful to remember she had been betrayed and not cherished as a wife.
