Why marry me, Gus?
chapter 56

After hearing the request for divorce from his wife, Huda's life seemed to collapse. Huda felt empty. However, the man's spirit had still not faded. Huda tries to persuade Arin and uses the time he has left to get his wife to change her mind.

As usual, Huda is still staying at the grand sir's house even though Arin still ignores him. Whenever he had the opportunity to talk to Arin, Huda always tried to give an explanation and confirmed that he had never cheated on Arin.

Huda also gave an explanation to his in-laws about the misunderstanding that occurred between him and Arin. Huda hopes that the encouragement of the closest people will be able to help him to change Arin's decision.

"What is Arin's condition, ma'am?" tanya Pak Agung invites the wife to talk while enjoying afternoon tea together.

"It's the same, sir. Ever since Nak Huda was here, Arin didn't want to leave the room, did he?"

"Sir Huda must have bothered again until," muttered Mr. Agung was getting used to the existence of his daughter-in-law.

"Aren't you tired of going back and forth every day? The distance from the store to here is very far," said Bu Wulan began to feel compassion for his daughter-in-law who had to travel far every day to persuade Arin.

Mr. Agung also sympathized with Huda who seemed intent on improving his relationship with Arin. However, unfortunately they were unable to help much to make his daughter make up.

"Mother doesn't want to interfere, either, ma'am. But over time, you also feel sorry for Nak Huda. Moreover, Arin to ask for separation when she was pregnant again like this," exclaimed Mr. Agung worried about the fate of the household of his youngest daughter who collapsed.

"Mom feels guilty about Arin, sir. It was we who forced Arin to marry Huda" said Bu Wulan.

"Why should you feel guilty, Mom? I believe in Huda! I believe Huda cannot lie. If he says he has no relationship with other women, I'm sure it must be true" said Mr. Agung trying to trust the son-in-law.

"Mom don't know, sir. I doubt Huda a bit. Especially today there are so many pious men, sir. The calm look is just a mask. We can't trust people just by their looks, can we?"

"The father here does not mean to do Huda because of his background. You only feel the sincerity of Huda who wants to fight to maintain the household. If Huda is indeed a man who is not responsible and has cheated Arin, he would not have been able to stand it, Mom. Huda has been going back and forth for months from here to his faraway shop, right? Huda also continued to persuade Arin patiently. I'm sure Huda must be sincere."

Ms. Wulan no longer gives much comment. Pak Agung also rose from his stool, then approached Arin who is currently still resting in the room.

"Have you eaten, Rin?" ask the princess.

"Udah, Sir!" answer Arin briefly.

"Don't lie! I don't care if you torture yourself. But you have to remember now you have a life to take care of. If you do not eat, you are not the one who is tormented, but your child also suffers in your stomach later," cried Mr. Agung.

Arin was just a mangosteen without giving much response. Mr. Agung also sat next to his daughter and tried to invite Arin to speak from heart to heart.

"When do you want this to happen often?"

"How's this?" ask Arin.

"You're constantly moody every day. If you are sad continue this way, your child is also following sad," said Mr. Agung.

Arin plays his fingers. The woman also does not want her mood to affect the baby. "How should Arin go, sir?"

Mr. Agung gently rubbed his daughter's hair. "Why are you so stubborn, Rin?"

"How stubborn? I'm just trying to stand firm!"

"Huda will arrive soon. During these few months, your husband keeps going back and forth from here to his shop. But you know for yourself that the shop is far from here? But he remains sincere and patient for you" said Mr. Agung.

"Father here just want to buy Mas Huda?" cynical Arin.

"Not a believer, Rin. I just want to give you advice. I just don't want you to regret it later. If it is proven that Huda is suing you, I will definitely support you to separate the same man who is not loyal like that. But why don't you try to understand all the explanations of your husband first? Why don't you give him a chance? Don't you want to believe in your husband?"

Arin silent a thousand languages. At first Arin had also made up her mind to trust her husband. But what did he get? He caught Novi charging a marriage promise to Huda.

"Do you think I'm not trying to believe in my husband? I try to trust Mas Huda. But it was Mas Huda himself who harassed me," cried Arin.

"I'm hurt, sir. Why doesn't anyone care about my heartache? Why do people only care about Mas Huda's sacrifice and Mas Huda's sympathy? Why doesn't anyone care about how I feel?" arin Protest.

"Father doesn't care about how you feel, Rin. Father cares. It is impossible to ignore your daughter. Father is worried about you too. But let's see also the struggle of your husband. I'm sure Huda is sincere. Seeing your husband who still wants to maintain the household, I'm sure Huda can't lie, right? When he said he didn't want you, I'm sure it's true."

Arin remained silent. The sense of love that woman has really eroded.

"Are you not at all touched by your husband's sacrifice? Are you not at all touched by your husband's efforts?"

"I don't know, sir! Obviously, I still want to split up. Please don't bear Mas Huda in front of me. Please don't try to slip her face in front of me just because she's the son-in-law of my choice!"

The Great sir no longer continued his sentence. Seeing the hardness of Arin's heart that was difficult to overcome, the middle-aged man simply resigned himself and let Huda find his own way to make Arin return.

"Come on, I'll talk to you for a second!" said Ms. Wulan who suddenly appeared from behind the door.

The middle-aged woman approached Arin then thrust the envelope at Arin. "This is for you! From your husband!"

Arin received the envelope, then put it in the drawer without looking at the contents. In the drawer, there are already several envelopes that also come from Huda.

The envelope contains some money as a living from Huda for Arin and also their future child. Although it has not made up with Arin, but Huda still remembers his duty as a husband. During his stay at the house of Mr. Agung, Huda never forgot to give a living to his wife and children.

"Why not use the money? That's a living from your husband!" reprimand Bu Wulan.

"Please tell me Mas Huda, no need to give me the rich gini envelope!"

Bu Wulan could only shake her head looking at her daughter's attitude. Arin still consistently ignored Huda, until 9 months passed.

Huda has been living in the house of Pak Agung for 9 months, accompanying his wife who is now pregnant for 9 months. Huda remained patient waiting for Arin to change his mind. The man still carries out his duties well as a husband, especially before the birth of his first child.

Until one night, Arin suddenly woke up and felt pain in his stomach that had been bloated. "Cock my stomach hurts so much, huh?" murmured Arin felt a push from within.

Luckily, Arin did not sleep alone. Arin slept with Miss Wulan. Seeing Arin who woke up in the middle of the night, Ms. Wulan immediately checked Arin's condition and immediately called the fathers who were standing guard outside.

"Your stomach hurts, Rin? Just a minute! I'm trying to get help!"
