Your silence is killing me
EP.24 The Arrival of Mother-in-law


Lyra makes her way to the parking lot looking for James, but someone approaches her. The man is none other than Fero, his former lover.


"Lyra.." call Fero.


"Yes.. what's wrong with senior?" ask Lyra.


"You want to go home?" ask Fero.


"Yes, I'm sorry I got picked up" said Lyra.


"Wait a minute, talk to me." said Fero.


"I've been picked up by a senior, sorry maybe next time" Lyra said, then her phone rang again and James's number reached her.


"Hallo, yes soon I'm in the parking lot" said Lyra and left Fero just like that.


And Fero increasingly looks sad, after the relationship ran aground in the hands of his own mother now he has to watch the ex-lover he still loves has become the wife of others.

Meanwhile, Ben and James have been in the parking lot since 1 hour ago. But James is reluctant to contact Lyra because of her prestige, while Lyra has not yet appeared even though many students have left their classes.


"Can't that girl fill the problem?" grunts James.


"Lord just call Miss Lyra" Ben said.


"I don't even know the number" James said.


"You can ask as her husband sir, instead I get it from Mr. Simon" said Ben.


"Give me the number" said James.


After contacting him, James was still waiting for him to come out from the inside while grumbling again to make Ben upset. He's the one who didn't call and tell me how did Lyra find out?? that's Ben's mind.


Then James got out of the car and looked around, seen from a distance Lyra was talking to a man. The man who was at his wedding yesterday, and James recognized him immediately. James immediately contacted him because he was afraid Lyra was cool to talk to his friend and make them late to come somewhere.


Before long, Lyra came closer and James went back inside pretending to wait nonchalantly.


"I'm sorry it's been a while" said Lyra.


"You're if I call to pick up" James said.


"I didn't know it was your number, so tell me what I need to know to stop this from happening again" Lyra said.


"Well, now we're home because my mom just arrived" James said.


"What mother? I should how? " ask Lyra in panic.


"Be normal, if you look weird, my mom will be suspicious" James said.


"What should I tell him?" ask Lyra.


"Say we were betrothed by grandfather." said James.


"Is she a fierce or chatty mother-in-law?" ask Lyra spontaneously.


"Ck. You're watching soap operas too often.just meet directly and you conclude." reply James.


"Alright" said Lyra nervously.


"Remember wearing the clothes I've prepared." said James.


"Yes.." reply Lyra.


Along the way, Lyra also monologues in the heart how to welcome her mother-in-law and introduce herself. Lyra was nervous to death because she had never met her mother-in-law. Even when married his mother James did not come, indicating their relationship is not okay.


When she got home, Lyra got ready and put on the clothes the waiter had prepared. A beautiful knee-length dres that makes it look graceful according to its age. And Lyra just dressed up naturally because she didn't want to look excessive.


"Are you ready?" james asked out of his private room.


"Yes, when did your mother arrive?" ask Lyra.


"He'll be at the airport in about 1 hour.so let's go to the airport.." James said.


"I thought your mother had arrived here" said Lyra, then picked up her bag and chased James from behind.


After arriving at the airport, Lyra followed James' footsteps to the welcoming place of her mother. The bodyguard was also there. Before long, there appeared a beautiful woman who did not look old at the age of 50 years.


"Geez, your mother was so young." whispered Lyra.


"That's how he is, you don't get the wrong word" James said.


James welcomes his mother and is followed by Lyra. Lyra also introduced herself to her mother-in-law named Vina.


"Welcome, mom." said James.


"Thank you baby for picking up, is she your wife?" ask Vina.


"Yes, his name is Lyra" said James.


"Hallo greetings know my mother Lyra, welcome to Jakarta" said Lyra.


"Thank you for Lyra's welcome" said Vina.


Vina whispered to her son. "Not Bad son." he said.


James smiled a little at his mother's words. Then they head to their mom's favorite restaurant and eat together. There Lyra was very nervous and didn't talk much.


"Lyra I heard you were 19 years old." Vina opened the conversation.


"True mom. I am also still studying." replied Lyra.


"What department did you take?" ask Vina.


"Medicine mom." said Lyra.


"Wow.you are beyond my expectations." said Vina.


"Where did you meet James.?" ask Vina.


"Grandfather set us up mom." said James.


"Where was your future wife? until Lyra replaces him?" ask Vina to the point.


"There was someone who threatened and harmed her with her family, so they just canceled the wedding" James said.


"Have the culprit been arrested?" ask Vina.


"It's mom, but they just say they have a grudge against Jessika" James said.


"Does that make sense? I think that's a made-up excuse." ucao Vina.


"I also think so mom. But now I've married Lyra." said James.


"Can you love each other?" ask Vina.


"We're going to try and do Lyra" said James embracing her waist.


"Yes right." said Lyra spontaneously.


"Well Lyra, even if you're from an orphanage I hope you can ride my son James" Vina said casually.


"Well mom I'll try." said Lyra.


"Mom, don't talk too late" said James.


"If so pay attention to your wife.she doesn't even know the table manner correctly" said Vina who saw Lyra wrongly using a soup spoon.


"Sorry mom, I will learn" Lyra said.


"It's okay, I'll have someone teach you" James said, holding Lyra's hand.


Lyra was surprised when James touched her suddenly. But given her condition, Lyra understands that it is needed now for her mother to believe that James and Lyra's marriage is okay. Lyra felt ashamed of her status as an orphan who knew nothing about table manner.


Lyra wanted to cry out of embarrassment, but she kept him from making mistakes. They were at the restaurant for a while and returned home. It feels like Lyra today was skinned by her mother-in-law. But he realized he did not know anything about table manner and never ate at a fancy restaurant so did not know anything.

A few days passed and the atmosphere of the house changed when the big madam returned. I don't know until when because this is an order from Robert. And Vina paid enough attention to Lyra's movements because she did not want her son to marry a woman.
