A Story of the Haram Child

Chapter 6 Anarya's Mistakes

Mom, where's Nesa?" ask Narya when she enters the house. His breath was shuffled irregularly. Even the greeting he forgot to say when he entered the house.

"Dad why?" Still with a surprised face Lasmi looked at her husband who was filled with anxiety.

"Which village!" Narya's voice rising made Lasmi stunned by Anarya's attitude that had never before snapped.

Long enough Lasmi looked at Anarya who was like she was confused, trying to find out what was wrong with her husband. But what he found was a face full of worry.

Anarya was half running busy opening the room and checking each room while shouting Nesa.

"Where's Nesa!" yelled Anarya back while shaking Lasmi's shoulder.

"In-he plays, try to find on the field," Lasmi replied stuttering, he was stunned not to understand what happened.

Anarya immediately ran towards the field which was about 300 meters from the house. The nimble Netra skimmed the vast expanse of land, looking for her little girl among the children who were engrossed in play.

Lemas tubus Anarya for not finding her little girl. Uncertain thoughts grow increasingly confused. Where he should look, while he does not know where Nesa's habit of playing.

Under a tree located on the side of the road, Anarya was sitting limp. He repeatedly saw her grabbing hair, punching the ground, and occasionally squeezing her knees with her clasped teeth.

"O Allah, please do not punish me again by losing Nesa. Can't feel like I've lost her. Only he has been my life's encouragement, O God."

"Daneesa, help me, honey. Don't let Daneela take our son. I swear I will continue to look after her," Anarya said as she looked up at the sky.

I do not know how long Anarya sat under a tree and mourned for life. A life full of twists does not match what he expects. Her beautiful dream coupled with an unabated puja girl only became a sweet dream to end in a bitter reality.

The past flashback slides back into his memory room. His memory goes back to the events of 9 years ago where all the problems began.

*Flash back on

"Darling, I want to know you to my mom. I want us to get serious and get married."

Daneesa's face was happy at the time. After almost a year of being in a relationship with Anarya finally the relationship found the final path to the guarantee.

"Later tonight I pick you up to the store yes, don't forget the beautiful groom and let you know that his future daughter-in-law is beautiful like an angel."

"Ready, Beb," said Daneesa with a twinkle of an eye.

"Are you in college today, right?"

"Udah done, Beb. I went straight to my mom's help shop. Mama got a lot of cake orders, sorry if no one helped."

"Oh .. But I have a job, honey. I can't get anterine, how?"

"Not what, Beb. Take it easy, let me go home with Rio."

"Congratulations with Rio?"

"Hahaha .. don't have to be jelous donk, Beb. You know he's a little friend, he knows our relationship."

"Yes be careful, ntar night at 07.30 is ready ya."

"Ready, Boss!"

The atmosphere of the dinner room was so stiff. Daneesa felt clumsy when dealing with the Anarya family. A very large and magnificent house with super lux furniture that makes Daneesa less.

How not, Anarya's family home is very much different from the condition of the house he has been living in. Even the utensils for eating that were now in front of him alone were very different from the ones he used at home.

"What's your name?" ask Mr. Bramantyo to start the question.

"Daneesa khairani, Om."

"Anarya's college friend?"

"Y-yes, Om. But different faculties." Daneesa tried to smile to neutralize his clumsy taste.

"What kind of business do parents have?"

"Small cake shop, Om. It's for Om and Aunty, '" Daneesa said, offering a box of cookies still wrapped in white plastic bags.

At first glance Bu Bramantyo looked at her husband meaningfully. It's like telling Mr. Bramantyo to continue interrogating the Daneesa. While Mr. Bramantyo just sighed heavily.

"Yes, we eat first. We'll continue to talk." Mr. Bramantyo decided.

Just a few mouthfuls of Daneesa stuffed delicious food into the mouth, Netra Daneesa sat in a chat with Bu Bramantyo. It turned out that the woman was looking at him with a dislike look.

"Where does this cuisine taste?"

"Enak aunty" replied Daneesa, smiling and looking at the woman sitting across from the dinner table.

"Eating at home often?"

"Mama never cooked like this, Auntie." Daneesa smiled shyly.

"Have no money for this kind of cooking?"

"It's not so, Auntie. The widow, had to work to earn a living for living expenses and also my college. So, mama's better save money so that everything can be enough."

"Ooh ... Her mother's widow kere, huh?"

The deg!

Daneesa stops chewing. Those words were like lightning striking, there was pain running through her heart hearing the words coming out of the elegant woman's mouth.

"Mama!" shouted Anarya.

"Why? Wasn't his mom Kere? Only cooking like this alone can not cook," ketus said Bu Bramantyo without thinking about the feelings of Daneesa, which at that time the net had begun to stagnate the clear grain that soon collapsed.

Daneesa stood up, staring intently at the woman. The pain rippled his heart, his pride completely torn apart at that moment.

"Sorry, Aunt. We are poor people. But auntie doesn't have to insult us. Mama is a noble woman for always keeping her tongue."

Brakk!

Ms. Bram kicked down the table while standing. Bu Bram's face flushed red at Daneesa's words, his anger ready to be blown up.

"You think I'm a despicable woman?" 

"Auntie thinks to himself! Um, I'm saying home. Narya I went home alone, don't have to be taken. Ask your father to teach your mother how to respect others!"

Mr. Bram and Anarya were just stupefied. So fast the incident was that Anarya's brain was unable to think what she should do.

"The village!" yelled Anarya after noticing the woman disappeared behind the door.

Anarya tried to chase after Daneesa who was running towards the gate.  

"Daneesa, wait!" Anarya tried to reach Daneesa's hand which was then brushed by the girl who was burning emotions

"Narya, I already know the answer. Your family doesn't like me. So, we'd better end our relationship."

Daneesa looked pityfully at the man kneeling before her. However, Bu Bram's attitude just now could not make himself deny such a strong feeling towards Anarya.

"Wake up, we'll talk tomorrow. I want to go home and calm down." 

"Please promise me you won't leave me, Nees."

"We'll talk tomorrow, okay? I'll go home first."

Aarya could only give up the hands of the woman she loved so much. He stared at Daneesa's back and disappeared from his sight. 

Anarya Gontai steps into the house. For a moment he looked at the face of his mother who he met sitting on the sofa in the family room. Ms. Bram just threw her face away, not wanting to return her son's gaze.

"Stop your relationship with that girl!" ma'am Bram's word is firm.

Anarya stopped her steps on the stairs. He went down and approached his mother.

"What do you mean, Mama?"

"It's still unclear?"

"Narya will never decide Neesa, Narya loves her very much, Ma. And I hope mommy blesses it."

"Don't dream of you, Narya!"

"As much as you accept it or not, Narya will still marry Nesa."

"You're willing to hurt your mom just for the sake of that girl?"

"Sorry, Ma. Narya never intended to hurt my mother. But Narya hopes you can understand Narya's feelings. Narya is not a child anymore that you can manage constantly."

"That girl poisoned your brain, Narya."

Anarya just smiled and chose to go from before her mother to the room.

****

"Daneesa, please don't be indifferent to me. We need to talk, honey," Narya asked as she managed to meet Neesa in the hallway of the campus.

"Mr, give me time."

" But you've been avoiding me for two days. I can't if you ignore me like this, Neesa."

Daneesa stopped his steps, crossed his arms to his chest, and breathed out heavily. He saw the man who had been almost a year giving color in his life.

"What do you want now?"

"I want to marry you."

Daneesa scrunched his forehead.

"I still want to go to college, another semester to graduate and after that I still want to develop my mother's business. I have not thought about getting married."

"You can still do that even if we're married."

"Crazy for you, huh?"

"Neesa, I'm afraid of losing you."

"Alright, Narya. Do you see your mother's attitude? She doesn't want to have a poor daughter-in-law like me."

"I don't care, I just want you."

"Here you go, I want to go to class. The lecturer is coming soon." 

Again Narya could not help her girl to walk away. The murat of gloom was on his face, he seemed to be thinking.

"Alright if this is the only way, I will do," murmured Anarya as if stepping out of campus.

****

At 14:00 Daneesa came out of the campus gate. Narya is waiting for him in the car he parked outside the campus.

"Neesa, give me a chance to be with you one last time, will you?" Say Narya while juxtaposing Daneesa steps.

"I promise after this I won't bother you anymore."

Daneesa stared fixedly at Narya's face, there was a million questions in her eyes, would Narya really take it off?

"All right." Daneesa said with a smile. It doesn't hurt to part with Narya.

Anarya hugged Daneesa, she was happy because she finally saw Daneesa's smile again.

"Yep, come in." Anarya allowed her girl to get into the car.

Along the way, a smile broke from Narya's lips.

"We went for a walk today, yes. I want to spend time with you."

Daneesa turned towards Narya and nodded in agreement.

"O yes, this is avocado juice plus your favorite chocolate milk. But sorry yes, I have tasted a little," Narya said, laughing. He handed over the glass containing the avocado juice.

"You know I'm thirsty." Daneesa smiled and accepted the drink. Apparently Daneesa so enjoy a fresh drink that can wet his throat that had not been touched by water.

When the drink he sipped stayed half, Daneesa felt something change from her. Something he couldn't stand. Desire to wade through the sea of romance mingle love with the man before him.

Daneesa tried hard to resist that desire. He began to fidget, sometimes he heard his moaning. But the more he resisted he was unable to control himself.

Anarya just glanced at Daneesa's behavior, in her heart there was guilt but soon she was tepis.

"I'm sorry, Daneesa. Only in this way can I have you" Narya said in her heart.

Finally in a villa owned by Narya's parents, Daneesa let go of the passion he had endured since being in the car. He gave his crown of holiness to the man he wanted to leave behind.

*Flash back off

"If I hadn't done that in the past, maybe now I could still look at you, Nees."

"I'm sorry, I think my way is right. God punished me by taking you. I really lost you."

Without realizing it, the afternoon crept. I don't know how many eyes are staring strangely at Anarya. Anarya was stunned when she glanced at the watch in her hand that had shown the time of 17.45.

"Village. I have to find Nesa!" Narya gets up and intends to go home to pick up the car. 

"Tonight I have to go to Daneela's house, I won't let her take my son."

Anarya's step was half-running, she quickened her pace. He doesn't want to waste any more time.

Anarya's steps stopped when she reached the front of the house she saw had stood a woman figure with eyes full of anger and ready to vent all her heart.
