"Fir I heard from Alan, Andre divorced you huh?" mom asked Riya while we were both in the front seat of Alan's room.
I gulped my saliva with great difficulty then nodded.
"And it all happened because of Alan?"
I looked up and dared to look into Bu Riya's eyes, "That's not right Mom."
"Not right? But according to Alan, it was he who caused you to be divorced Andre" said Ms Riya
Alan.what do you mean say that to Ms. Riya.
"There or no Alan, my household has a problem, ma'am" I said. "So Alan had nothing to do with what happened to me."
"Thank God. I am relieved to hear it. I'm so sorry for what happened to you. As a fellow woman, mother can feel the pain you feel." said Bu Riya showing her sympathy for me. Whether sincere or not.
"Thank you, ma'am." I replied.
"But what is called life must be lived. Like it or not. Reliable or forced. Like now, even though I don't like it. But I have to accept it for Alan's sake" Riya said.
"I mean mother?" my many.
"Fira, ever since you were in high school, I didn't know that Alan liked you. At that time I thought, the love in Alan's heart was only the love of youth that would disappear over time. Who would have thought that his love for you was so strong. And looking at Alan's situation right now, I don't want you to approve."
DUARR
I was shocked to hear Bu Riya's words conveyed with a dinginya attitude.
"I mean mother?"
"Alan said he would marry you when you officially divorced Andre. And because of his illness, he asked his mother to approve it. Though honestly mom's heavy. Sorry to offend you. You know, besides the state man, Alan was CEO of his father's company. He needed a wife who could help him. While you, according to the mother, will not be able to help the work of Alan or the progress of his business. Alan needs the support of a woman who has a strong background. Especially in the business field so that Alan's position is stronger." Miss Riya then looked at me. "Fira, I only have Alan. So it's not wrong that I want what's best for my only son."
"No ma'am. Absolutely not." I replied. Bu Riya's words were gentle, but Dalem hit my heart.
Bu Riya sighed, "So this is Fir. I'll marry you to Alan just like Alan asked. But I'm asking you to do something for Alan after you become his wife, are you willing?"
"Mom. Alan wouldn't do anything. So mom doesn't have to marry us." I refused subtly.
"My hope is so too. But Alan threatened not to be treated before marrying you."
I'm back in shock.
Alan what are you doing. Why are you pushing me deeper into suffering. Maybe you can shower me with your love, but your mother.
"Mom. I'll talk to Alan."
"Free, Ra. So follow my mother's plan. You want to, right?"
"What plan is Mom?'
"Look. Andre divorced you because you can't have children. So after you're married to Alan and if within three months, you're not pregnant then you should ask Alan to marry Anita."
I stared in disbelief at Miss Riya.
He said he could feel my pocket. Then what is this?
"Sorry Mom. Fira can't." I replied firmly. Thats enough. Enough I'm humbled. Enough I was insulted just because my family's background isn't people. I have my pride.
"Ra, you don't be selfish" said Miss Riya in a slightly raised voice.
"Fira is not selfish ma'am. Fira instead thought of the kindness of mother and Mr. Alan. So sorry, Fira is not willing to accept this marriage." I said with a trembling tightness in the chest. I feel like screaming in anger.
O Allah. It is my destiny to polygamy. Why am I always in a polygamy circle. Andre is beating me. Miss Riya wants me to be willing in honey. And Elsa, she asked me to be her husband's second wife, Salman.
I'm shaking. "Fira doesn't want anything bad to happen to Mr. Alan ma'am" I replied sincerely.
"Ra, doesn't Alan always help you, defend you. Then what's wrong now it's your turn to sacrifice for him. If you want to marry Alan, he will seek treatment and if Alan is healed, you stay in love asking him to marry Anita. Beres right? No one will be harmed. Remember. Alan is a virgin and you're a widow. So Alan deserves a virgin. Think of mother's words. Not necessarily there are virgins like Alan who want to marry you" said Bu riya increasingly slicing my heart. "I'll give you a week. Then give me an answer!"
Miss Riya then stood up to leave me. He walked out of the hospital.
I held my head that felt heavy with both hands. Tears are starting to fall.
"Mother!" Ryan, who was in Alan's room, was right next to me. I immediately wiped my tears so that Ryan wouldn't see it.
"Yes baby?" my many.
"Mother crying?" Ryan reached out his tiny hand wiping the rest of my tears. "Mother's cheeks are wet."
I smile. "Not crying. There are only a few tears Mother fell. Maybe because you're sleepy." my dear.
"Ryan has also. When Ryan was sleepy and yawned, uh Ryan's eyes came out of the water. Mother was yawning, right? Huaamaomm. Is that?'
I hugged Ryan in response to his question.
"Mother. Pm Alan asked Mommy to come in." said Ryan again.
"Oh yeah? Let's go in!" I got up and took Ryan into Alan's room.
“Mother has gone home Ra?” ask Alan. I nodded and sat down on the sofa in Alan's room.
“Ra come!” Alan Pinta.
“I'm here, Lan. I'm tired.” I refused to comply with Alan's request.
“Why you?” ask Alan. “Come here or am I there?”
I looked at Alan annoyed, Wanting me to go up and sit on the chair by Alan's bed. Ryan fell asleep on an extra bed worn by the patient's family.
I sat down and looked down. My thoughts are still on what Miss Riya said. I was shocked when Alan's fingers rubbed my cheeks.
“You've been crying, right? What was? Did my mom hurt you?” asked Alan softly.
“No.” I pulled my face away.
"Are you talking about our marriage?" ask Alan.
I'm nodding.
"I'm sorry Ra for using my pain to force me to accept you. Believe this. With time and if he gets to know you, I'm sure he'll love you" Alan said.
"Lan please! Don't force Miss Riya to accept me. A marriage without blessing won't be good."
I started sobbing. "Let me live quietly Alan. Please." I whimpered. I dropped my head on the bed. I wept. I felt Alan's hand rub my head.
"I'm sorry Ra. This time, trust me." Alan said.
I don't care about anything anymore. I just want to cry. I've been holding tightness in my chest ever since. Now I want to let go of everything. I don't care about Alan. I forgot there was Ryan. I just want to take this hit.
