Chapter 03 Mommy is afraid of Daddy

It's impossible to think that my beloved must have been brooding in her room for days again. If I had the time, I would definitely come to see her! Too bad I have to keep a promise. So far, my beloved didn't know about it.

"Jar, I'm asking you to stay away from my son! Maybe you're still confused as to why I said that?"

"Yes, honey, what do you mean?"

"Listen, I don't want a son-in-law like you! You only rely on intelligence instead of making money. I want you to approve of your relationship! I won't kick you out this time. As long as you do what I ask. What I've already told you. Once again, I ask you to stay away from my son!"

"But .... but .... but om,"

"There's no need to use but because I don't approve of your relationship!" my friend's father said with a sardonic look at me.

Maybe at that time I explained everything while I was out with my boyfriend. Surely her parents would have approved of my relationship with their son. Although it's hard to say my boyfriend's name! On the one hand, I have to be considerate. I don't want my parents to know. What's more, my mother told me to concentrate on finding a job.

Instead of staying in my room for days with nothing to do.

It's better to obey my mother's words. Instead of arguing incoherently, just imagine, over the past year, maybe too much. So, I don't want to look for a future partner too much. Meanwhile, my lover is not so concerned with wealth. You should find out what someone's character is like?

Not all parents are like that, as long as we try to restrain our egos as children. Even if it feels hard to carry out his orders! Hah.... Too bad my best friend isn't here. Even if he is, our conversation will definitely be long because this is an outpouring of the heart.

But in the end, it's not going to solve anything.

"Look at our child's behaviour. He must be thinking about something."

"Yes, it's okay. Instead of going out until midnight, do you really want our child to be like that?"

"I don't want them to be like that! But I have a dream that our child will be able to socialize like everyone else. Well, Dawn has stayed at home from the time she was little until now. She never goes out to her garden house."

"Hmmm .... I'm not defending you, Fajar. But you can't hold our child back. To obey mommy and daddy's wishes."

"You see, it looks like you're always defending your child. What you need to know is to listen to what the parents say. If something happens, you won't know! I won't hesitate to ask you to sleep outside," Dad said with a serious look.

But as long as I see you, Mother always protects me. So as not to be influenced by Father's talk. Maybe there's a reason why he talks like that? About two hours later, there was an aura of a third world war in the house. I'd better go see them!

"Dad, Mom, stop, there's no need to fight. Especially now that it's late,"

"Mom should have asked Dawn. What are you doing here?"

"Yes, because Dawn wants to separate you from me. So, we won't fight anymore."

"Oh, fight? Dawn, you need to get out of here! Instead of Dad getting mad at Dawn."

"Son, you better get out of here! Dawn, don't get involved. This is your parents' business," Mom said, smiling at me.

"Listen to me, Mom!" said Dad, still emotional.

"OK Mom, Dad." I said, looking down at the floor.

Even though there was a request to them. At least I've tried to separate my parents. Maybe the neighbours in the complex already knew. I thought, "Dawn's parents, is there a problem? You see, there must be a commotion every night. You can even hear it outside the house."

Even though this image keeps running through my mind, what am I going to do? I swear, I need my beloved to listen to the problems I'm having right now. Every time there's a problem, my lover is lost somewhere?

Sometimes WhatsApp messages are not answered at all!

Meanwhile, my best friend always understands. Even if they can't provide solutions or answers. Heh.... I almost forgot; I can't compare my best friend with my lover. There is even a misunderstanding. Maybe he's afraid that the relationship will be cut off, so our relationship is still good.

"Jar, can you not compare me to your best friend?"

"I can, baby."

"Then why did you compare me to your best friend? I heard you, Jar."

At that time, I compared my boyfriend to my best friend. Even though he talked quietly, how could he know my true heart? Hah.... just my feelings, how could my friend read someone's heart? Sometimes his life is unpredictable.

Every time I take a step, I always think to my boyfriend, "Why is he possessive now? Whereas before I started dating him, I wasn't too possessive. Instead, we were supportive of each other. Even if my lover's attitude changes, it must be visible in his look. Well, this is suddenly possessive without me having to give an explanation."

"Especially now that it's easy to get paper, I often follow the development of today's language. I hope my boyfriend's change won't last too long. I hope it only lasts until next week! That's what I hope from the bottom of my heart.

Around 1 a.m., there was the sound of footsteps near my bedroom door. They must be angry with me. For interfering in my parents' affairs earlier, and it turned out to be Mother. I wondered who had come to my room, but my heart was beating so fast that I was afraid Father would scold me.

Including punishment from dad is quite severe, namely, pocket money will be cut for a month. Imagine a month, but pocket money is now grateful to be able to buy snacks at school or in the complex.

Because I did something stupid to get my allowance cut. There was also a defence from mom. If I was wrong, there should be no need to cut off all the pocket money. I even agree with mother's words. Heh.... I was even surprised that Mother was punished for not sleeping in the room for a month.

This is because Mom is afraid of Dad. If I'm not mistaken, there's a phrase like, "Wife is afraid of husband," even though a mother has to obey as much as possible. Even if his attitude is pretty annoying, at least don't do anything stupid. This is very upside down, unlike other people.

Not so sure anyway, later it will be reversed about work. Mom works in the office, not dad. You must feel inside that you don't deserve to be with your mother. Is it appropriate to have such thoughts?

For me, it's annoying and hard to accept conversations from complex neighbours. Although I know very well that someone's mood is not necessarily the same as mine. But on the other hand, I was sure that Mother was afraid of Father. From the expression on Mother's face, it was clear that she was very frightened after the conversation.

But there's still something that bothers me about talking to Father and Mother.
