Abnormal Metamorphosis
Chapter 23: The Problem of Madam Nila and Papa Grey
Rosaline cupped her hands together as soon as she heard the judge in court handing down the sentence. The girl's feeling was erratic, between hariu, relief, mixed up in agony as mom hugged her, as Sheila and Tika also hugged her, as Grey patted her on the shoulder looking at her with a smile. Means after the legal process that is so pressing this inner...Rosaline looked at Danni who was lethargic being led by the police out of the courtroom. The girl sighed, though bang Danni had already got her punishment...But I still suffer the consequences...Rosaline felt her stomach, complaining. This fetus... Fetal son bang Danni's...Oh....If only I could eliminate...
Rosaline looked at Grey who had been faithful to accompany her back and forth – back to the police station and court these few days. Poor Grey, have to accept the fact I'm pregnant with Bang Danni's son, not hers...
“It's done, Rosaline... You do not need to worry anymore.” whispered Grey while holding Rosaline's hand, strengthening the heart because he saw the girl looking at her with a grudge.
“Ya, Gray..”
But unexpectedly, it turns out that Grey was wrong, the problem was not resolved until the court hearing alone. Because that day, just a day after the legal process was over, Rosaline got a call from Sheila.
“Gawat Ros, it turns out my mother can not accept the sentence bang Danni who must be imprisoned for so long.” Sheila rattled Rosaline, telling her the news. “Back from the court yesterday, mom did cry constantly...Well, the problem is bang Danni mother's favorite son anyway.”.
“You mean?” Rosaline heard it.
“Mother insisted on coming to your house, begging your family to drop the charges against Danni bang, Ros..” heard Sheila saying, Rosaline clutched her mouth. “I'm sorry my mom, Ros...Though father did not approve of mother's wishes because the father was very angry and embarrassed because of the actions of bang Danni...But my mom..”
Rosaline's family did not expect, Nila's mother, Danni and Sheila came to their house, tearfully, begging Rosaline's father and mother to drop their charges against her son Danni.
“I beg...Revoke father demands – mother on my son, Danni...I'm begging...I am willing to give anything as long as the father and mother want to withdraw the claim...Pity me, Danni son – my only boy, he focus my life..” crying mother Nila – pity, make father and mother Rosaline can not say – words.
“But it can't be ma'am...The trial is over...I don't think about my daughter, Rosaline...He bore the deeds of his mother's son his whole life.” heard the father answer.
“I know sir, I understand...But pity Danni, she's not really the problem type, she was a caliph at the time, sir...Danni complained to me that she really loved Rosaline and was very sorry to have desecrated Rosaline.... He's responsible, sir...And we also agreed to marry Rosaline...So I beg you...”.
The request of Nila's mother, the mother of Sheila and Danni makes Rosaline depressed. Although the father-mother refused the request of Nila's mother, but the woman was so persistent to come to their house almost every day, begging for the freedom of Danni son. Until one day Rosaline heard the concern of her – mother father about Danni's problem.
“How is dad? Ibu Nila came here continuously – continuously begging us..” Mom said worried.
“Ya how else? That Danni should be punished. After all, our son has chosen Grey, and Grey has also expressed his willingness.”.
“But until now, why haven't Grey's parents come?”
“Maybe Mr. Darmawan is busy.”.
“Dad...Thought by mom...Rosaline used to tell me that Danni was always a class champion, and a basketball star in school...Meaning his son is smart too huh?”
“What does mother mean? Remember ma'am, that kid has ruined our son's future!”
“But said Nila's mother, Danni is willing to marry Rosaline...Moreover, Danni is the father of the fetus contained Rosaline.”.
“Yes...But bu..”
“Not that mom shrinks Grey or pity Nila's mom...But what I think, Danni...A healthy child...Does not have a mental disorder such as..”.
Rosaline saw from the crack of her bedroom door, how father then looked towards mother, hearing the word – said that. The worry was obvious in their eyes. Rosaline bit her lip, so worried....Worried dad – his mom changed her mind...
********
That afternoon at the park where they used to meet, Rosaline recounted her concern for Nila's mother's request to Grey. The two teenagers sat on foot facing a large tree where their carved vows still faithfully reminded them, ‘Grey – Rosaline, faithful in hard and happy'.
“I'm worried that Nila's mother can change the decision of my mother's father –, Grey.” said Rosaline sounded scared. “What should we do? How, have you talked to your papa about our problem?”
“Papa had just left for Paris with the female Caucasian..” Grey flat, making Rosaline gasp.
“Ooh..”.
“Maybe next week papa just came home..”.
“So you haven't had time to talk to your papa, Grey?”
“Already..”.
“Then what was your papa response? When papa..I mean, your papa's coming, right? Your father agrees with our marriage?” rosaline asked with hope. Grey did not immediately reply, the young man looked at Rosaline with his light brown eyes with a look that was difficult to guess the meaning. Grey's hands were playing with his smartphone restlessly. Several times the smartphone fell to the ground as a result. Rosaline was so astonished to see him, why did Grey look at me like that? Why does he look so nervous? The girl did not know what was depicted in Grey's eyes at the time.
Grey still looks at Rosaline but in the eyes of the young man as imagined when he forced himself to come to the big house of his father, passing the view of – the astonished views of the bodyguards and servants because not usually Grey, the, their young master came to the mansion - the last they saw Grey was in the mansion, when the Adinegoro Darmawan family had only arrived from America a few months ago. Passing Britney, Grey's half-sister looks at Grey in a frightened manner from behind the body of his mother, Alicia, the second wife of Grey's father who also looks at Grey with displeased eyes. Grey tried not to care about any of that. She never accepted Alicia and Britney at her father's house. His hatred bubbled up every time he saw them, who had already hurt his mother.
The young man met the father in the study, with his body cooling. His head throbbed to see the figure of his father sitting facing his work desk was staring seriously at the laptop that opened before him, the figure of a father who had betrayed his mother, the figure that had caused the death of mama! Like the bone crunching of Grey's fingers because it was too strong to be clenched, when the young man finally spoke to his papa.
“Pa..” Grey greet. “May and talk...With you?”
“Grey?” papa Grey raised his face, astonished at Grey's arrival, which could be said to be a rare moment in the conglomerate's life. “Well, well, what a surprise, what caused this one papa child to come to see papa today?”
Grey was silent for a moment, thinking about how he started the conversation.
“What’s up, son? Is your money up? Don’t worry, papa transfer again to your account, how much do you want?” continued his papa saw Grey looked doubtful – hesitate to talk.
Grey almost spit, hearing his papa talk like that to him. So you think he came just for the money? Hmh! How long does the father behave like that? Do you think love and compassion can be replaced with money? Grey suppresses his feelings in – deep.
“Not that meant Grey came here..” says Grey flat.
“So?....Oh I see, your bike's broken...Want to replace the new one? Coincidentally papa was offered a Harley Davidson motorcycle by papa's partner, are you interested?”
“Papa...That's not what Grey meant by coming here!” repeat Grey in a slightly loud voice. His father closed the laptop that had opened before him as he spoke and began to turn his eyes to Grey.
“What's Grey?”
“Papa remember with Rosaline?”
“Rosaline? Your friend in America or in Indonesia? You have many friends, son...Papa doesn't remember...Hm...Rosalyn...Waita..Remember! Rosalyn...The girl who came to the hospital the other day huh?”
“Yeah right...She is my best friend, pa, Grey's best friend since childhood, before we moved to America first...Nine years ago..”
“Oh I see..”
“I want to marry her..”
“What?!”
“I want to marry her.”
“You mean?”
Papa Grey was once again dumbfounded looking at Grey. The man frowned as he listened to Grey tell him why he wanted to marry Rosaline.
“God...You're right – right out of mind, Grey, why did you sacrifice for the girl? Papa can find many girls – beautiful girls who are as level as us, if you want to get married later!” papa Grey comments after he finishes listening to Grey's story.
“What does papa mean by ‘selevel’?!” asked Grey riled.
“We are of honorable descent, it is impossible to marry just any girl. Moreover, the girl is a rape victim you said...No, Grey, no...Papa disagrees!”
“But Grey only loves Rosaline, pa, and doesn't want another girl! Grey doesn't care if he's the same level as us or not, Grey loves his people, not his socioeconomic status!”
But his papa just shook his head. Stick to his stance.
“Papa think you married her out of pity for the girl, right? No, Grey, weddings can't be based on that.”.
“Pa? Grey wants to marry Rosaline instead of pity, Grey loves Rosaline, loves her very much and Grey just wants Rosaline to be happy... ”
“Already Grey, don't think the weird – is weird. Papa's answer is still no. After all you are still in school, focus on your school lessons first, okay son?”
“Please help Rosaline, pa...She’s my everything.” Grey half-dead suppressed his hatred for his papa, his tongue was like a hoax but forced to utter a tone of plea to the papa.
“No, Grey..”.
“Whatever Grey will do, as long as papa agrees..”.
“Grey, don't force papa.”
“Please...Papa?”
Papa Grey was aghast to see Grey arrive – arrived kneeling before him. The young man shivered holding back his feelings. His hands were clenched strong –, it felt like he was crazy to do that, but his immense love for Rosaline made Grey beat all those feelings and was able to do it.
“Hey, what are you doing, Grey?”
“Grey won't stand until papa agrees Grey married Rosaline.”
“You..” Papa Grey looked riled up.
At that time Alicia, the second wife of Grey's father, entered the study. The girl's eyebrows shot up to see Grey kneeling before her papa.
“What’s going on here?” alicia asked Papa Grey.
“Nothing important, honey.” papa Grey just flicked his hand towards Grey.
“Oh God's...I'm totally losing it! The dentists! I am so sorry.”.
“We have made an appointment with the dentist in ten o'clock, darling Alicia pointed to the wall clock in the study - fifteen minutes before ten. “Tomorrow we will go to Paris so we have to go to Britney's dentist today, we don't have much time.”
“Ok, ok, we will go to the dentist right away, honey.
Papa looked at Grey who was still kneeling.
“Grey, papa should go take your sister to the dentist..”
Grey stared coldly at his papa with his light brown eyes.
“Grey waiting for papa answer.”.
“Grey...Listen, you know my answer...Either way papa won't agree, please think again, son..”.
“Pa..”
Grey is stunned to see her papa just walk out of the study, leaving her still on her knees, leaving her to take Britney to the dentist with Alicia, the Caucasian woman...
“Grey?” rosaline's voice rattled Grey from her daydream.
“Ya?”
“What is your papa response?” reset Rosaline.
“There has been no response from papa..” Grey said without regard to Rosaline.
“Not yet?” Rosaline was so upset to hear Grey's reply.
“Yeah.”
“Grey, Nila's mom urges my mom's – dad almost every day, she comes to my house crying...I'm scared, Grey..”.
“But dad – your mom never agreed to Nila's mom request right?”
“Ya, not really...Or at this time...Haven't. But I was afraid long ago – could have been father – my mother became devastated as well.”
Both Grey's eyebrows seemed to be clinging to each other hearing that.
“Rosaline..”.
“I'm scared, Grey...Afraid we'll be separated again....I just love you, Grey...I can't imagine having to bang Danni.”.
Rosaline was troubled to see the attitude of Grey who just looked at her without responding to words. Moreover, Grey then stroked Rosaline's hair, Grey's hands coldly felt the girl.
“Maybe..Maybe you could try calling your dad...I'm sure your papa must have had time to listen to you..” Rosaline tried to make a suggestion.
“Just free..little butterfly...I knew papa wouldn't be as good as that, taking calls and listening to me, while he was with that bule woman.” Grey finally made his voice again.
“Your father is not what you think, Grey...I saw it when you were critical yesterday, Grey, really! I saw your dad waiting in the ICU, I saw that your dad was worried about you too...Your father loves you, Grey..” said Rosaline tried to encourage. although Rosaline knew how much Mr. Hendro actually asked for his help to visit Grey at that time, because papa Grey is too busy to notice his son. Although papa Grey actually only comes when Grey is critical. I'm sorry I lied, Grey. But I just want to give you some spirit...
“Rosaline..”.
“I'm serious, Grey...You can ask Hendro if you don't believe!” Rosaline tries to convince Grey.
“Already, Rosaline... “ Grey smiled sadly seeing Rosaline so hotly convincing herself of her papa.
“What do you mean by already?” Rosaline asked worriedly.
“You don't have to encourage me about papa...I know exactly who my papa is, Rosaline.”.
“Grey...So how should we? Just give up? Let bang Danni marry me??”
“Rosaline...Not so..”
“Then?!”
“I told you, I talked to papa...But no response yet.”
“Tried again dong, Grey, who knows maybe your papa was busy so have not had time to respond. Please, Grey? I know you and your father are not in harmony, but a marriage needs the consent of both parents, Grey...So please, put in the effort..”.
“I've tried, but my papa hasn't responded.”
“Because your papa hasn't responded and then you're quiet? Not trying anymore?! Do you love me the same as I actually do?!” Rosaline was getting impatient.
Grey gasps at hearing the word – says Rosaline.
“Rosaline...It’s easy for you to talk!” Grey raised his eyebrows.
“What?!”
“You...You don't know how I fought.” Grey got up from his seat. “I suppress all my pain every time I see my papa's face, the one who has so much heart to hurt my mama, the one who has caused my mama's death! Half-dead I tried to talk to him about us, but what?! All bullshit! A big bullshit! He just said, ‘you're right – is right out of mind, Grey, why did you sacrifice for the girl?’ He also said we're not as level...You see it now, Rosaline? I really don't want to say it, only you have forced!”
Rosaline nodded at hearing that.
“Ja..So your papa is not..”
“Yes, she disagrees!” said Grey toilet.
“Ba..How can?” Rosaline doesn't believe me.
“Ugh, how can?!”
Braak!!
Grey threw the smartphone that was held by his hand as hard as if to vent all the rest of the damage that had been stored in his heart, until the smartphone was shattered to hit the tree in front of them. Rosaline almost jumped in shock.
“Grey?!”
“How can you say? Yes, that's my papa! If you want to know the real fact, Rosaline! Papa you said you loved me? Attention me?...Bullshits!! Papaku just a bullshit!” Grey is grumbling.
“I mean...I mean, how..” Rosaline could not continue the word – she said as she gasped to see Grey smash his fist hard – hard into the tree in front of her. The young man's eyes were so full of hatred. “Grey...What are you doing?!”
“Damn!!...Glorifying an honorable descendant??! Fuck all that honorable stuff! Honourable but have no feelings! Making mama commit suicide, what is that so-called honorable man's hereditary behavior??! Fool you!!” Grey smashed his fist many times – times into the tree, no matter which fist became reddened and scuffed. As if he was satisfying his heart full of anger with the papa, Grey continued to beat the tree until his breath gasped – puffing, Grey continued, making the young man was finally forced to prop his hand up to the tree due to fatigue and hide his face behind the handbag, regulating his breathing.
“Grey, relax Grey...Pleases..Don't scare me..” Rosaline does not really understand the word – said Grey which for her sounds like endless – base. The girl began to panic, seeing Grey so emotionally. “I also did not think your father did not agree... Me...”
It seems useless to talk to Grey at the time, Rosaline sees Grey as if he is in his own world.
“Papaku...Why he never cared about me, why he never understood me...All you have in mind is the Caucasian woman, and her child...Britney...“ said Grey almost – almost like he was talking to himself. “Yeah, right! Their son is just Britney like him...While Grey Adinegoro never existed, Grey Adinegoro need not be heard.. For them Grey Adinegoro is dead.”.
Grey arrived – laughing, although his laughter sounded so sad.
“Yeah, dead, maybe I should have died with mom.
“Grey..” Rosaline was so worried to see Grey's emotions that changed – change, had looked so angry and hateful with her papa, now arrived – just sounded like so frustrated and missed the attention of her papa. The girl with heart – heart approached and touched the young man's shoulder. “Grey? Pleases... You want to listen to me?”
“Go away!!” but unexpectedly the young man arrived - suddenly jerking Rosaline's hand violently.
“Aaww!!” grey's actions left Rosaline shocked and out of balance, the girl jolted back and slammed onto the ground.
“Rosaline?! “ Grey was flabbergasted to see that, as if it had just woken up, like a rock waking from a dream.
“Grey...Ouch... “ Rosaline whimpers, the girl curled up holding her stomach. “My stomach...Pain...”
Grey knelt in panic, immediately examining Rosaline.
“Oh, no! What have I done? Rosalyn...Ii'm sorry... I'm sorry.“
“My stomach hurts..”
“We go to the doctor huh?” Grey immediately carried Rosaline, and shouted to Hendro, who was waiting inside a Mercedes Benz parked outside the park.
At the doctor's clinic, Rosaline's mother's father – who followed them, looked at each other. Rosaline knows the meaning of mother's view on father, ‘Well didn't she say mother? Not to mention getting married, our son is already wretched because of Grey’. The girl bit her lip in disgust, father and mother must have accused me of falling for – because of Grey...I-i know...
“I'm fine – what, dad, mom...Doctor says my womb is also okay – what..” said Rosaline tried to make father – her mother does not think negatively about Grey. “I was tripped in the park because not heart – heart...Good thing there's a Grey holding me...Aren't they Grey?”
“What?” Grey is caught off guard, Rosaline nudged to justify the word – he said.
Rosaline sighed sadly, this incident...Hopefully not to make dad – mom even more doubtful Grey. And papa Grey's problem...Oh God, why? Why would Papa Grey disagree? The girl looked at Grey who was sitting quietly beside her. Oh why is everything so hard? Why does our sincere love always get so many obstacles?
