Stay or Leave

Leo drove his car to David’s house to meet Ayunda. Leo was so happy when he heard that there was a suitable donor for his sister that Leo couldn’t wait to tell Ayunda as soon as possible.

Less than an hour Leo finally arrived at his brother-in-law’s residence. Leo immediately got out of his car after entering the courtyard of David’s house which had been previously opened by the security guard on duty.

Leo rang David’s doorbell when he reached the main door.

“Mas Leo, please come in,” Bella said, opening the door for Leo.

“Where’s Ayunda?” Leo asked Bella unceremoniously first.

“What are you looking for here, Ayunda doesn’t live in this house anymore” Bella wasn’t the one who answered Leo’s question, but the voice of a man who was walking towards Leo.

“What do you mean Dave?” asked Leo who still didn’t understand what David meant.

“I’ve freed your sister, it’s up to you if your sister will spend the night with men out there because I don’t care about her anymore” said David.

“Idiot, my sister is not as bad as you think” Leo said raising his voice with clenched fists.

“Did you also know that your sister was playing behind her husband’s back with your own assistantWell, of course, as an older brother and superior, you definitely know about the illicit relationship that your closest people are involved in,” said David sarcastically.

“I do know that Ayunda and Akmal were in a relationship. However, Ayunda has never betrayed you while married to you. my sister is an honorable woman” Leo said as he grabbed the collar of the shirt that David was wearing.

“A respectable woman will not spend the night with another man behind her husband’s back. Doesn’t that mean your sister is having an affair?” said David snorting belittling Ayunda, the woman who had filled his days.

“Let go of my son!” Mrs. Ratih shouted from inside then immediately walked towards the living room.

“You selfish man” said Leo as he let go of David harshly.

“You want to blame my sonYou should teach your barren sister, so that she can provide comfort for her household and give her husband offspring,” said Mrs. Ratih to Leo.

“It’s good that you have released Ayunda, as soon as you can arrange the divorce papers so that Ayunda can live in peace and be separated from a family that has no conscience like you,” said Leo, who was tired of being in David’s residence.

“Don’t worry, David has taken care of everythingWe also don’t want useless people like your sister.” Mrs. Ratih replied to Leo’s words.

If Mrs. Ratih wasn’t a woman and not an old man, Leo would definitely hit his unfiltered mouth. even though she is a fellow woman but Mrs. Ratih seems to have no heart anymore.

“I hope you won’t regret your decision” Leo said to David ignoring Mrs. Ratih’s words.

“Of course,” said David curtly.

after that, Leo immediately left David and his family who were still there without saying goodbye.

Leo again drove his car across the street.

“Mom, Dad, I’m sorry Leo for not being able to make Ayunda happyleo failed to be his protector” Leo muttered without realizing his tears.

Leo decided to go home, not go back to the office.

“Hey honey, what are you eating Hem?” Leo asked his daughter who was sitting on the carpet in the living room.

“You’ve gone home, isn’t it still noon?” Lisa asked from the kitchen walking towards her husband and daughter.

“Yes. Mas, from David’s house, I looked for Ayunda but she wasn’t there,” said Leo, kissing Lisa’s forehead.

“Come on, come on in the kitchen,” said Lisa.

“Which kitchen?” Leo asked with a frown.

“Our kitchen is our house,” said Lisa.

“Ayu is here?” Leo asked again to be sure.

“Yeah, just arrived not long ago you arrived” Lisa told her husband.

“Hi, Sis, it’s still noon.” Ayunda came over to Leo and Lisa and sat down beside Leona.

“Are you all right Ayy?” David asked then approached Ayunda and hugged her.

“Brother, what’s wrong, of course I’m fine, Sis,” Ayunda said.

“I’m sorry brother who can’t make you happy, sorry brother who can’t protect you when you are despised by other people” said Leo rubbing Ayunda’s thin black mane.

“You are my brother who is always there for me, brother, you are the best brother so don’t ever blame yourself brother because what Ayunda is experiencing right now is His will,” said Ayunda.

“You are a strong woman Ay, not necessarily if I experienced it can last this long” Lisa chimed in Ayunda’s words.

“You are my greatest women, stay by my side until later” Leo said hugging the three women beside him who were none other than his wife, daughter and sister.

“Did you go to Mas David’s house earlier?” Ayunda asked changing the subject.

“Yes brother looking for you, brother has called your cellphone but it is not active. Where have you been?” said Leo.

“Ayu has visited mom and dad’s graves, sisCan Ayu stay here for a while, Sis, later after Ayu finds the right house, Ayu will move to Ayu’s house?” Ayunda asked Leo for permission to stay at his house temporarily.

“You don’t have to buy Ay’s house, just stay here with us forever,” said Lisa, giving advice.

“No Lis, I want to be alone. But for the time being I’m staying here until I find a suitable house” Ayunda chuckled.

“Yeah, it’s okay but later you’ll play here often,” said Lisa to Ayunda.

“Definitely brother-in-law” Ayunda said smiling.

“Oh yes, brother, I have good news for you, Ay,” said Leo.

“What are you?” Ayunda asked curiously.

“Akmal has found a suitable bone marrow donor for you” Leo told Ayunda with happy eyes.

“Is that true?” Ayunda asked in disbelief.

“Yes, brother, I hope you do the surgery as soon as possible and hopefully everything goes well,” said Leo.

“Alhamdulillah, hopefully after this there will be a miracle, Ay,” said Lisa, touched and then hugged Ayunda affectionately.

“Amen,” said Ayunda who was unable to say anything else.

hopefully behind the disaster that befell his household. Ayunda gets happiness from others.
