Hate You, Love You
Moving House

"Is there something funny ? How do you smile yourself ?" Ask the mother to her child.

Gio shook his head slowly. He preferred to sit next to his mother and give the woman a kiss on the cheek, rather than answer her question.

Seeing Gio's reaction, the mother knew enough that the child was in a happy mood. He did not ask again about the reason Gio was smiling. Just be happy for it.

"Mama is happy to see you now" said the sincere mother. After getting married Gio no longer touched the illicit drinks and went from one night club to another. Gio is back to being the old Gio. His proud son.

Gio rested his head on the mother's shoulder. Though Gio's body is much higher and bigger but he still spoiled like a little child to his mother.

"Amara's village is fine, right ? Did Amara bleed until she had to rest a lot ? Mama did not dare to ask, afraid Amara became sensitive because of it," asked Gio's mother worriedly.

"Thank God there's no bleeding, Ma. It's just that Amara's college activities are very crowded. He's got to catch up with some of his misses,"

"You've contacted the campus to make it easier for Amara's lecture, right ?" Ask the mother again.

"Already Ma, that Amara can still catch up when in fact it is not allowed if it is an ordinary student. For the scholarship program, students are required to do all their tasks on time. And there is a certain standard of value in order to continue to get scholarships" explained Gio.

"Thank God if so. Amara so no need to take leave or stay far behind," said the mother. There was a sigh of relief in his words.

"And Amara got a very satisfying score. My wife is very smart, Ma. It's useless for Gio to push him through the deep lane" said Gio proudly, and the mother smiled happily at him.

"But..Your relationship is fine, isn't it, Gio ?"

Gio only smiled faintly in response to it. He did not agree, but he did not deny it. Gio didn't want to tell the mother the truth.

The first reason why Gio did not tell the truth was because Gio did not want to add to the burden of his mother's mind. The second is that Gio does not want to talk bad about Amara. He did not want his mother to be unhappy with Amara. Gio thought that Amara had already suffered a lot from it. So enough suffering does not need to be coupled with the dislike of his mother.

"Maybe now Amara can not love you, but hopefully time and attitude as well as your good attitude can melt his heart,"

Gio straightened his body and looked at his mother's face deeply.

"From the way Amara looks at you, she knows she hasn't fallen for you yet. But you can't get mad at him and force your feelings. Amara wants to stay by your side all this time already very extraordinary. Maybe Mama wouldn't be as strong as Amara if Mama had experienced it herself,"

Gio nodded in understanding and leaned his head back on the mother's shoulders. "You already have feelings for her, don't you, Gio ?" Guess the mother.

"Hu 'um... Gio likes Amara," replied Gio. He not only likes it, but more than that. Gio loved her very much even though Amara was so hard to resist.

"Hopefully Amara will feel the same way as you. May Amara return your feelings. Have you taken her to a psychiatrist ?"

Gio shook his head slowly. "Mara doesn't want to. He said he couldn't share his pain story with anyone else" Gio replied with a gloomy look on his face.

"Yes, don't be forced. May time heal his wounds,"

"Yes, thank you for understanding Mama," said Gio as he hugged his mother's arm.

Not without reason Mama Gio would be heartened to accept Amara's stern attitude. There's a pretty dark past story that Gio's mother covered up. In the past, his best friend experienced the same thing with Amara. Raped by a foreign man at a birthday party.

Gio's mother knew how severe the trauma was. Her best friend was really suffering and she was desperate to eliminate her own life when she found out she was pregnant. After all, Gio's mother's best friend managed to do it.

"Let me, please" said Gio, taking over a box from Amara's hand. After 3 weeks passed, they finally moved to the house that Gio had just bought.

The house is not as luxurious as Gio's house, but better than Amara's house before. The two-story house consists of 4 bedrooms with modern minimalist design and is located not so far from the campus where Amara studied.

"For a while we will occupy the lower floor so you do not have to go up and down the stairs," explained Gio.

"And there will be someone working in this house. So you don't have to bother working" continued Gio again.

"Ki-us.. mmh.. we ti-sleep where ?" Ask Amara. There was anxiety in his face.

Gio was aware of it, he knew Amara's anxiety must be from the room division. Although very heavy but eventually Gio relented. "We can sleep in a separate room if you really want that" Gio said.

"W-really ?" Amara's eyes faded and a smile fell on her thin lips.

Gio nodded his head and returned Amara's smile. When the truth happened, Gio was feeling a very broken heart.

"But...,"

"But what ??" Cut Amara fast. His face was not as happy as before.

"But our rooms must be next to each other or opposite each other. And neither do you allow me to sleep in a locked room,"

"A- what ?" Amara frowns dislikes.

"I won't sneak into your room and sleep there. It's just to make it easier for me, to check your circumstances" Gio replied reasoned.

Amara just fell silent glued to tanoa saying apapu again

"Trust Amara, I won't do anything bad to you. For months we slept in one room, did I ever hurt you ?"

Amara also digested what Gio said and the words of men are true. Not once did Gio ask for his rights as a husband, even though they slept on the same bed.

"Hell," replied Amara.

Gio smiled with relief as amara agreed to it. "Okay then, your room is right next to mine,"

Amara nodded her head, approving. And they also began to fix their respective rooms that will be occupied.

Seriate...
