Stay or Leave

After Akmal left the apartment where Ayunda currently lives, Ayunda returned to her room.

Ayunda lay down on the bed, but Ayunda did not close her eyes to sleep. Ayunda just silently daydreams while looking at the ceiling of the room she currently occupies.

I don’t know what Ayunda is thinking, for sure now Ayunda is tired body and soul.

But now Ayunda feels more relieved, after crying in front of Akmal, who is none other than her former lover who has always understood her until now.

Can Ayunda suppose?

if Ayunda didn’t decide Akmal, if at that time Ayunda would listen to Akmal’s explanation. Maybe now Ayunda won’t marry David, maybe Ayunda won’t have any problems in her household either. If Ayunda didn’t marry David, maybe Ayunda wouldn’t have honey.

Immediately Ayunda shook her head after Ayunda was lost in her daydream which seemed to want to blame fate.

“You can’t think like that, Ayu, this marriage, you want it yourselfSo don’t ever look back,” Ayunda muttered to herself in a monologue.

“Aware, Ayunda, mate is a destiny,” he continued.

Until the morning, Ayunda just closed her eyes, after a night of fighting with her own mind.

David’s residence, to be precise in David and Bella’s room there was an argument between the husband and wife. This morning David was getting ready to go to the office.

David came out of the bathroom, then approached Bella who was playing with her cellphone.

“Bell, where are my clothes?” David asked his second wife.

“It’s not my job, bro, that’s Ms. Ayu’s job,” Bella replied casually.

“You are also my wife Bella, so you should be able to serve me too” snapped David.

“I’ve already given birth to your child, bro, so to serve you in such a case, it’s the duty of your other wife who can’t give you children, more precisely, barren,” Bella said not wanting to lose.

“Watch your words, Balla,” said David, tightening his jaw against emotion.

“That’s the truth, why do you have to defend him. I’m also your wife, bro, I’m jealous. You always praise him in front of me without thinking about my feelings,” Bella said while asking tears.

“Didn’t before we got married I also told you, that I really love my wife and whatever happens I will not let Ayunda go. And you have also made the decision to want to be his honey, that means you also have to accept that I will still love Ayunda. by marrying you, I’ve already hurt him, especially lately I’ve been with you more often than with him, are you still jealous of him?” David said at length.

Blammm.

David came out of the room he shared with Bella by closing the door hard enough to make Bella suddenly startled. Luckily his daughter was downstairs with the nurse, so it wasn’t a surprise.

David walked to Ayunda’s room. David changed clothes there. after getting ready, David immediately went downstairs to go to the office.

Before walking to his car, David first approached his daughter who was sunbathing with the nurse.

“Hi baby,,, papa go yes” said David while kissing his daughter’s cheek.

“Den David didn’t have breakfast first?” asked Bik Iyam following David to the front.

“No, Bik, I’ll just have breakfast at the office later,” said David and then continued his steps towards the car that had been prepared by the driver. David drives his own car without a driver.

not long ago David left the yard of his house, a car entered the gate of David’s house, after the car was parked out a middle-aged woman who was none other than Mrs. Ratih, the mother of David.

“David was the one who just came out, wasn’t he?” Mrs. Ratih asked the nurse who took care of her grandson.

“Yes, madam,” replied the nurse.

“Grandson Oma, don’t stay in the sun for a long time,” said Mrs. Ratih to the nurse, who was nodded by the nurse.

After that, Mrs. Ratih walked away into her son’s house. Mrs. Ratih climbs the stairs to find the whereabouts of her beloved daughter-in-law Bella.

“Bella, this is mama. Mamah come in,” said Mrs. Ratna after knocking on the door in Bella’s room.

“Yes ma’am” Bella answered from inside.

After getting an answer from Bella, Mrs. Ratih opened the door to the room and went inside.

“Why are you crying Bella?” asked Mrs. Ratih as she approached her second daughter-in-law.”Mas David mah,,, he always compares me to Ms. Ayu, even though I have tried to be what she wants, even I have given offspring that Ms. Ayu can’t give” Bella argued against her mother-in-law while crying in Mrs. Ratih’s arms.

even though David didn’t compare at all, just reminded his fellow wife’s duties. I don’t know what Bella’s goal is to complain to Mrs. Ratih.

“Patience, dear, later I’ll let you understand David,” said Mrs. Ratih, patting Bella’s shoulder gently.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

This morning Akmal returned to visit his apartment which Ayunda is currently occupying. Actually it was Akmal’s apartment that had been given to Ayunda when they were still dating but Ayunda politely refused and made the apartment jointly owned. because they thought, they would get married and will occupy the apartment after marriage later, but it turns out they are not matched.

Akmal left the house early in the morning, so that later he would not be so late when he arrived at the office.

Akmal entered the apartment after pressing the pin.

he saw Ayunda who was still asleep on the bed. Incidentally Ayunda didn’t lock her room so Akmal could see it.

Akmal put the food he brought on the table for Ayunda’s breakfast. Then wrote a note beside it. after that Akmal came back out of the apartment to go to the office.
