Between Me and Your Mother
Evidences

The day is getting late, Miko is also asleep. Melati immediately approached Reyhan who was still busy playing the phone.

"gold"

Reyhan who was called just kept quiet. He even smiled his own smile staring at the square object in his fingers

"gold"

Reyhan still did not flinch at all

"gold!"

Until the third call, Reyhan then realized and looked at the wife "yes dear"

"can we talk for a second?"

"of course! what do you want to talk about?" reyhan replied while putting down the phone that he had held for over an hour

"mas, do you know the latest condition about mom?"

"you mean? why mother?"

"yesterday I saw that mom could walk from her bed to the bathroom"

"what? can you walk?"

"yes, mas"

"can't be baby, can't you see for yourself how mom can only rely on us to take care of her body on a daily basis?"

"yes, but yesterday I saw for myself that you can walk" Melati kept trying to convince her husband to believe her.

"are you sure?"

"i'm very sure mas"

"if you're sure you can walk, then why are you still pretending?"

"i don't know, either, but I swear I can see you walking very upright"

"all right, we'll prove it tomorrow"

Melati just nodded. Yes, he was so sure of his thoughts. Because yesterday as she was about to enter her room-in-law, Melati saw with her own eyes that her mother-in-law was walking very fast and well.

"mas, aren't you sleeping?" jasmine asked as she saw her husband holding his phone back.

"just go for a second, you go to sleep first"

Because it is too sleepy, Melatipun prefers to rest her eyes and body rather than having to accompany her husband staying up late and playing mobile phone.

...***...

"honey, let's get up"

"euh.." a shrill voice sounded from Melati's lips. He was seen opening his eyes when drowsiness still hit. "mas"

"let's get up"

"what time is it?"

"five o'clock"

"early morning? mm. why does it feel like I'm still so sleepy mas"

"maybe you're too tired, so you slept really well last night"

"maybe"

Melati got out of bed immediately. He kept watching his husband. But there was something she did not realize earlier about her husband.

"gold"

"yes"

"the circle of the eyes looks black, did you not sleep last night?"

"really?" Reyhan walked straight to the dresser. He seemed to flip his face and feel the side of the face, especially around the circumference of his eyes.

"not very visible"

"so really don't sleep all night?"

"go to bed"

"li lie! that's proof the eyes look red and blackened"

"i slept, but only for a moment"

"there's work to be done for this morning's meeting"

"should it be done that night?"

"yes, must! and that's very important!"

Jasmine squinted her eyes, she stared fixedly at Reyhan whose attitude looked so strange.

"ah already! let's go to mom's room. Aren't we going to prove the truth of what you said last night?" Reyhan said as he walked out of their room

Finally inevitably Melati also tailed behind her husband. She no longer fuss about her husband's strange face. The most important thing for him is that he can prove to Reyhan about his mother's lies.

"mother"

"Reyhan's? Jasmine? what are you guys doing in the morning to mom's room?"

"it's okay mom, we just want to help mom clean up"

"oh, come on" replied the mother as she received Reyhan's hand in front of her

When Sarah's mother managed to stand, Reyhan suddenly released the link of his hand that made Sarah's mother immediately fell and fell on the floor.

"Reyhan's? what the hell are you doing? you deliberately slammed mom?"

"mother" Reyhan immediately crouched down and held the mother sitting in her wheelchair again.

"what are you doing Rey? did you intentionally kill Mom? don't you like it when mom's here? if you don't like it, why didn't you say it in the first place?"

"sorry ma'am, not bad Reyhan wants to slam mom. Reyhan just wants to prove the truth of Melati ma'am's words"

"what's your max? what did your wife say?"

"Delati said that mom could walk"

"what? how could you walk? as for moving from bed to wheelchair, do you need your help?"

Reyhan seemed silent. It seemed to weigh and justify the mother's words.

"mom.but yesterday I saw you get out of a wheelchair and go to the bathroom by yourself" said Melati

"Darken.. Melati..what's your fault with you? why do you always accuse me? you can't even complain to Reyhan about mom's condition?"

"it's not like that ma'am, I swear, yesterday I did see mom walking" Melati explained

"so you're accusing me of lying?"

"i'm not accusing you, I'm just talking according to the facts I saw yesterday mom"

"what facts do you see? obviously you're the one who keeps lying to Reyhan. Didn't you see how I fell when I was taken off? oh.., or don't you deliberately want to make me even more paralyzed by profiling Reyhan to be rude to me, right? answer me!"

"mother! what did mom say? I have absolutely no vile intentions like what you said just now. I__"

"STOP!" snapping Reyhan who instantly made the two women in front of him speechless

"mas, i__"

"silence you!" reyhan's eyes glared perfectly as he looked at the wife.

It was clear how the flames of anger were on Reyhan's face. And Melati no longer dared to look back at her husband. He just looked down and clasped his fingers.

"Delati, you said that mom could walk. And I trust you so much. I even let go of mom's hand in order to prove the truth of what you said. But what is the evidence? You made me a cruel child. You're the one who made me hurt my own mother Melati"

"mas, it's not like that, I'm not lying, I__"

"Stop that shit!"

"gold"

"quick get out of here before my patience runs out"

"gold"

"OUT!"

With one loud crack, Melati immediately stepped out of her room-in-law.

Don't ask me again how Melati is feeling right now. Because surely his heart was broken to pieces. Her feelings and heart were so hurt that her husband believed in her mother more than he had in her ribs.

While the mother, she just smiled smirk staring at the departure of her daughter-in-law.
