Stay or Leave

Ayunda looked at herself in the mirror while smiling.

“Lord, please strengthen my heart. Help me so that I can still smile no matter what happens now or later,” Ayunda said in her own monologue.

It’s a happy day for David and his family, but not for Ayunda.

Even though his lips say I’m fine, I’m sincere. But no one knows a person’s heart.

Starting today Ayunda must learn to share and be sincere.

***

All of David’s family group had gathered. They were ready to go to the bride’s house.

well at David’s request, the wedding was only attended by relatives of both parties.

Meanwhile, Leo, Ayunda’s brother did not come because his wife had just given birth a week ago.

But Leo ordered his assistant and best friend, Akmal, to come to accompany his sister.

***

After a long journey, they finally arrived at Bella’s parents’ house.

They were greeted warmly.

. While the Kabul consent process was taking place, Ayunda sat quietly, her hands intertwined on her lap, trying to strengthen her heart, trying to hold back her tears from falling.

After the Kabul consent procession is complete, the bride and groom sit on the aisle to greet relatives who will congratulate and capture the moment.

when the two brides on the aisle were showing their best smiles, this is where Ayunda sat alone, looking at her husband who was side by side with his honey.

“Don’t pretend to be tough, if you want to cry, cryI’m ready to be used as a place for you to lean on” said a man who was already sitting beside Ayunda.

“I still have a husband to lean on,” Ayunda answered flatly

“Husband who is starting to second to you,” said Akmal.

Well, that guy is Akmal’s assistant and friend of Leo’s sister Ayunda.

“You don’t have to interfere in my household,” Ayunda replied.

“Why, do you not love me anymore?” Akmal asked

“We have passed, I hope you don’t bring it up again” Ayunda said as she left Akmal.

Meanwhile, at Leo’s house, Lisa is now crying.

“Sir, why does Ayu want to be married, really I’m not strong, bro,” said Lisa

“That’s it, why are you the one crying, Ayu has made a decision, it means that Ayu is ready to be born and inner,” said Leo.

“But I don’t have the heart.. No one knows the heart, bro, even though the lips say it’s okay, Lisa said sobbing

“Well, it’s better if you calm down first, poor baby, if you think a lot, the milk won’t come out. Besides, Mas already told Akmal to look after Ayu,” Leo replied calming his wife.

now Ayunda said goodbye to go home first.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Mas, I’m going home first,” said Ayunda to David.

“Later, together with the group,” replied David, trying to prevent his first wife from going home first.

“Just leave it Dav, if Ayu wants to go home first,” said Mrs. Ratih who was suddenly behind Ayu.

“But who did you go home with, Yang,” said David worried about Ayunda

“Come on, let’s go home with me, Dav, I also want to go home, so let’s do it all,” said Akmal, who turned out to be following Ayunda.

“Akmal,” said David surprised

“Why are you surprised, Dav, I’m here to replace Leo, the brother of your wife,” said Akmal by pressing the word “Wife”

“Oh, yes, please take Ayunda home safely,” said David

“Of course, without you telling me I will take him home, I won’t kidnap him unless Ayu wants to come back to my house,” Akmal answered ambiguously.

“Ah, forget it btw congratulations on your marriage” continued Akmal again.

“Yes, mas, I’ll go home first,” said Ayu to her husband, cutting off the conversation between her husband and Akmal which was getting longer.

“Be careful dear” David replied as he hugged and kissed his first wife’s forehead.

then Ayunda turned to the honey

“Congratulations on your marriage” Ayunda said.

“Thank you ma’am,” Bella answered simply.

***

Now Ayunda is in the car with Akmal.

Both of them were silent.

Until Akmal opened his voice breaking the silence in the car.

“Where are you going home?” Akmal asked

“Of course my husband’s house” Ayunda answered flatly.

“Are you going to live with your honey under the same roof?” Akmal asked again

“That’s none of your business,” Ayunda replied curtly even though in her heart and mind she was thinking hard, can she live under the same roof with her husband’s second wife, is she really ready to see the love and attention that her husband usually gives only for hershared.

be divided

Ah, Ayu hasn’t thought of that before.

“If you’re not happy, I’m ready to accept you back, Ayy,” said Akmal, breaking Ayunda’s daydream.

Well Akmal is Ayunda’s ex-lover.

They dated when Ayunda just entered college. for about three years they were in a relationship.. they broke up because of a misunderstanding which until now Ayunda doesn’t want to listen to Akmal’s explanation.

Until finally after graduating from college, Ayunda was proposed to by David, who had secretly liked Ayunda for a long time.

from the past until now no one knows that Akmal and Ayunda have ever been in love, even Leo doesn’t know. Only one person knows their relationship, and that person also causes misunderstandings between Akmal and Ayunda.

Until now, actually Akmal still loves Ayunda, even though she has become his best friend’s wife. I don’t know about Ayunda,,,

****

After arriving home, Ayunda went straight to her room. While Akmal immediately left Ayunda, after delivering her to the gate.

Ayunda locked the door to her room and took off her clothes before stepping into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Ayunda cried and screamed uncontrollably. The tightness that he had been holding in for so long finally spilled out.

Ayunda hit her chest hoping the tightness would subside.

no matter how strong a woman will not be strong to see her husband remarry.

No matter how great Ayunda hides her pain, Ayunda still has a fragile heart.

Ayunda did not think that the man she chose would hurt her too.

the man who had made her smile, turned out to be the man who made her cry.
