Being a Dad to My Niece

Chapter 78. Negotiating

Chapter 78

Marsha was still sitting sweetly with Alva sitting on her lap. His eyes remained fixed on Sari. The old woman who now had a pale and stiff face. No more glare of hatred in his net began to dim his light.

"Does Eyang want to know who the villain that framed Sakti and Marsha is?" asked Arga gently.

"He is Gunawan. Sakti's best friend. Because he was jealous of Sakti's closeness to Marsha, he was determined to do just that. Though all this time We and our family were very affectionate and attentive to Gunawan and his family. Just to fulfill his breath, that person can do evil to the person who has petrified him and his family in order to continue to live and remove from life that is all lacking. Less what our family is to him. It's as if milk is returned with tubal water" explained Arga

Indirectly Arga wants to insinuate the Goddess who he thinks is the same as Gunawan. They are equally cared for by their families, but have the intention and desire to fulfill their own selfishness.

"But, instead of Marsha it seduces Sakti, my handsome and kind grandson. He deliberately set Sakti up to sleep with him and will later hold my granddaughter accountable" Sari said.

"Where did Eyang know that Marsha had trapped Sakti?" ayu asked so anxious that someone was slandering his future son-in-law.

"Sakti herself wrote that in her book," Sari replied confidently.

"Which notebook, Eyang. I've read all of Sakti's writings in that book. But, there is no writing that states that he has been framed by Marsha. Sakti feels he and Marsha have been framed by someone else. That's why he's going to find the culprit" Arga denied.

"It just so happens that the notebook I still keep, later we reread together. Let's not be curious," continued Barata.

Sari turned her face towards the Goddess. It was very clear he heard all of that from the mouth of the girl who was reading Sakti's notebook. His eyes had weakened their function because they were old, especially the writing was very small. So, the girl who read what was written in the book.

The goddess now felt indirectly cornered by Arga's speech just now. His heart was very sad and sick. He really loved that man. The girl is eager to spend her days with her loved ones.

"Well, now Eyang already knows the truth. So, don't be mad at Marsha anymore, okay? Later Alva does not want to play again with Eyang, you know!" kata Barata tried to melt the atmosphere in the living room of the Bagas family.

Now Sari was confused herself. He had promised the Goddess that he would match her to his granddaughter. However, now the grandson will marry the woman of his choice.

"Yes, Eyang. I'm also a much better person because of Marsha" Arga said.

Dewi can only resign if he has to return to Surabaya to rearrange his heart. This is the most painful heartbreak for him. For years she harbored a love for Arga.

"No. I don't want to be polygamous!" reply Marsha loudly and firmly.

"I don't want to have a wife. If you have two more children with Marsha it's okay" continued Arga.

Arga's words just made Marsha's face red. She suddenly became misbehaved because her future husband had talked about adding children, ijab qobul just not yet.

"Sorry, yeah. I don't want my son to have honey. Better, Dewi is self-conscious that Arga is not in love with him. Later in the end even he who suffers because he lives with men who love for other women," said Indah with her sarcasm so sorry to Sari and Dewi.

"That's right. There are still many single men who are looking for a woman to be a wife. Insha Allah the Goddess could be a good criterion for them. If you want a lot of bachelors who work in Pakdhe plantation. They are good and hardworking, too. You can find men who fit your criteria," Barata told Dewi.

Sari was silent while looking at the Goddess. Then he asked, "How, Wi? Do you want to find a young man's companion here?"

"If you insist to be with Arga, then get ready to be stamped as an actor by the villagers both here and in Surabaya," said Ayu who participated gemes to Dewi.

"Why are you bad to orphans like me? Do I not deserve to be happy with the man I love?" asked the Goddess finally after a long silence.

"We are not evil to you, Goddess. But, you are the one who is zoning yourself. Already know Arga love Marsha and want to marry her. You want to be the third among them. You should be legowo and looking for happiness in another way. It could be that your happiness is in other young people in this village," replied Indah who had been upset and annoyed by the Goddess.

Marsha felt sorry for the Goddess. However, he did not want to give Arga to him. He and the man loved each other. If, his love claps one hand, it's okay he relents.

"Wi, sincere, yes!" pinta Sari with a soft look and a sad look.

The old woman also felt the heartache of people's rejection of the Goddess. He can't do anything anymore now. If he is determined, then everyone will stay away from him.
