Why marry me, Gus?
chapter 29

After a whole night tormented with tightness in the chest, Arin's feelings were made even more chaotic the next day. The woman grew increasingly claustrophobic when she saw the scenery in her husband's family home.

Arin sees Novi again appearing at her in-laws' house. The woman seems busy taking care of Riski all day, and Huda also accompanies her.

"Pig!" Riski continued to whine and cling to Huda. However, the little boy also looks comfortable when around Novi.

"Riski, come eat first, okay?" novi said to Riski who is currently in Huda's lap.

Riski opens her mouth and enjoys the food that Novi feeds. Novi looks painstaking when taking care of Riski. Riski looks comfortable around Novi and Huda.

"Eat a lot huh, Riski!" huda exclaimed as he rubbed his son's hair occasionally.

Arin's heart really hurt looking at the scene before his eyes. The woman peered over the wall and looked at her husband and adopted son who were currently spending time with other women, and looked happy.

"It's been very close to the woman" muttered Arin with a disappointed expression. Although the woman has not put her heart fully on Huda, but still Arin is heartbroken to see her husband familiar with other women.

Huda, Novi, and Riski look like a happy family in Arin's eyes right now. They seem to fit together like a harmonious family. Novi also plays a good role and acts like a mother who is watching the child.

"Riski looks so happy that he is near her" Arin said. Honestly, the woman felt unwilling and did not accept as if her son and husband had now been seized by the woman named Novi. But Arin can't do anything either.

Arin cannot force Riski to be with him, if indeed the boy is more comfortable with Huda and Novi. Arin feels like a useless mother and wife because he can't take care of Riski. Moreover, the woman had also almost harmed Riski.

"They seem to be a great fit to be family. I'm just an outsider who's usually sick with Riski." That was the mind of Arin at this moment. Arin feels that she is just a useless outsider, and can only trouble her husband and child. Arin feels unworthy to be a mother and wife.

"I'm sorry to bother you. You can rest first. You haven't had lunch, have you?" huda asked Novi with such concern.

Arin was really uncomfortable. The woman tried to show herself well, even though her heart was in unusual pain.

After all, Arin was already Huda's wife. Although the woman had not fully loved Huda, Arin had already become a wife. It was only natural that Arin felt unacceptable and thought excessively when her husband treated other women well in front of his eyes.

"Ruby, Rin! Don't think about it anymore! Maybe Mas Huda really needs that woman's help. You can't help anything right now, can you? You can only make the burden of Mas Huda increase," said Arin still blaming himself.

The woman kept quiet and let her husband and son be accompanied by Novi all day. Arin has no chance to spend time with her husband. Her husband's attention is now seized for Riski, and the time Huda has also been spent accompanied by Novi.

"Riski's so sleepy, huh? We'll sleep in the room, okay?" take Huda to Riski.

"Riski wants to be carried with Abi! Riski won't sleep in the room!" said Riski while whining to the father.

Huda held Riski for the next time, until the boy finally fell asleep in his arms. Novi still faithfully accompanied around Huda, and talked a lot with Arin's husband.

"If the fever is not. The most troublesome if fussy anyway," said Huda. "Riski also wants to keep sticking if again fussy like this. She's taking grandma with her grandfather also won't."

"It's important that Riski doesn't have a fever. Riski also wants to eat a little bit," exclaimed Novi.

Occasionally Novi smiled towards Huda, and was replied by the man. They look like a couple who are discussing the growth and development of their children.

"Who is Mas Huda's wife, anyway? Me or that girl?" gerutu Arin increasingly felt left out because of the presence of Novi.

For two days in a row, Novi still continues to come home and help Huda take care of Riski. Though there is already Arin at home who can help Huda. But her husband instead invited other women to take care of their adopted children.

The longer Arin could not bear to see her husband and also her son who seemed to be captured by Novi. "What am I doing here? My husband's son needs another woman. Going home," Arin muttered, beginning to give up.

Arin feels like it's not needed. In fact, Huda and Riski are more comfortable with Novi. Arin could no longer see this sight. It is better for Arin to step aside, and let her husband and son spend some fun time together with other women.

"Novi, let's drink the tea first! You haven't eaten, have you? Behind Mother has cooked a lot" Nyai Rosyidah told Novi.

"Riski, play with Grandpa, yuk! Abi tired of dong if you have to carry on!" ustadz Wahab Tukas.

Today Huda, Nyai Rosyidah, Ustadz Wahab and Riski are gathering together. In the middle of them, there is a figure of Novi who seems like he is replacing Arin in the family. They all look like a real family.

"I don't think I'm fit to be the daughter-in-law of this family" Arin murmured, enduring two days of pain in her heart.

The woman had made up her mind. Arin will ask permission to go home.

After the woman was satisfied to peek at the happy family moment from behind the wall, Arin also appeared and conveyed his intention to go home to his parents.

"Mas, can we talk to you for a second?" arin asked Huda suddenly.

Huda, who was playing with Rizki and talking with Novi, immediately turned his attention and turned to his wife. "Why, Rin?" ask Huda back.

"Arin wants permission. Arin wants to go home to the Father," said Arin in front of Huda, Nyai Rosyidah and Ustadz Wahab.

Huda was surprised not to play so he heard the words of his wife. Huda's eyes rounded wide after hearing the words of the wife who suddenly asked to go home.
