Best Ex-Husband (FINISHED)

03 - Decision : Getting Married?

"Elangs. You just got home."

"Yes, Ma." The eagle kissed his mother, then sat on the sofa in a doldrums. Just now she's taken Dara home to her boarding house.

"Where is Thunder? Mama hasn't gotten to him yet, your dad is sick too, he's resting in his room" said Rania, Mama Bladder Eagle.

"Not yet aware Ma. Papa hurts what?"

"Cappiness. Think Thunder."

"Because thunder bang is unconscious?"

"It's not just that, Lang."

The eagle knitted both of his eyebrows. "What's wrong? Try Mama's story."

Rena was doubtful, she was not sure if the Eagle needed to know about it.

"Ma. Did Thunder say he wanted to get married?" guess Eagle.

"Kok you know, Lang?"

Apparently true, his parents already knew the problems that Thunder was facing. "Guntur tell me why he wants to get married?"

"Yes. But I wonder where do you know that?"

"Elang needs to talk to Papa, Ma."

***

In his Papa's room, big master Kusuma.

"What do you want to talk about, Lang?" kusuma asked his youngest son.

"Do you know Thunder's plan to get married?" ask the Eagle without making small talk.

"You know where it came from?"

The eagle had guessed that was exactly what his father would say.

"Thunder impregnates a girl, right?"

Kusuma bak was slapped by the words Eagle. That time he beat Thunder when his eldest son told him. Now where does the youngest know?

"Elangs. Tell me where you know!" snapped Kusuma with a high voice.

"Women who were impregnated with Guntur asked for responsibility. Before the accident Thunder mandated that the Eagle take care of the woman."

Kusuma was getting shocked, of course he was furious too. "Fuck up! You don't need responsibility!"

"But-"

"Nothing but but! It's not your fault, Eagle!"

"How is the fate of the woman?" ask Eagle. "He's a victim of Thunder coercion, Pa!"

"Tell him to drop the contents! Beres!" lightly Kusuma, without thinking about the feelings of the woman who was impregnated by her son.

"Crazy! That loft? Then what if the woman spread the news that she was impregnated by the eldest son of the Kusuma family. Is Papa not getting smeared?"

"Love him a lot of money! It'll all be done with the money!"

The eagle shook his head. "It's not that easy, Pa. Not everything can be done with money. The girl is so innocent, the eagle can't bear it."

"What can't be done with money, Lang? After all when else could he earn a lot of money by selling his pride. We appreciate it at a high price, papa is sure he'll accept it with pleasure."

"Do not underestimate people's self-esteem by judging it like a rupiah sheet. Perhaps his self-esteem is much higher than our own, only we are too happy, feel the money we have can buy everything. Though, no."

Kusuma. "Then, do you want responsibility? You're crazy, Lang! Your future is long. Papa won't let you marry that girl. Shameful!"

The eagle also does not aspire to marry young, especially with women he does not love. Far from wanting and wanting. But it's different now. Like it or not, it has empathy. The eagle could not leave the girl alone in a two-bodied state. Moreover, it's his own brother's son.

"It is better to do good, even if we do not like it. The good will come back to ourselves." The eagle immediately left his parents who were still stunned to hear his words.

****

Although this is crazy, insane, absurd. But, the Eagle felt his decision was the most appropriate. While staring at the ceiling of his room, Eagle reflected the face of Dara who was crying.

"Why did you get so drunk anyway, bang? Lu made a child pregnant, where he was very young, he was only 17 years old. What else am I supposed to do but take the only path."

Eagle has just started a property business. His position as Founder and Owner. When his career was pioneering and began to run smoothly, the exam came to him without him thinking.

Be married? The eagle hasn't even thought in that direction.

"Adrrghhhh!!"

Next day. The eagle was already waiting at the dining table by Kusuma and Rania. His crazy decision to marry the girl that Guntur had impregnated, inevitably made his parents reject the act that they considered stupid.

"Langs. Papa needs to talk."

The eagle sat in front of his papa's chair. "What's wrong?"

"Papa doesn't agree you married the girl. Papa is already planning to match you with Mr. Basyir's son, a businessman who works with papa."

"Huh?" Shocked, of course the Eagle was very shocked. What's this, just one problem isn't over. His father even wanted to match him.

Both of his parents had thoughts that were not much different. Looking at something from the point of view of the treasure and the throne. But, Eagle is not so, he looked more from the point of view of sincerity.

"Right think carefully. This decision is the most appropriate. Ma, Pa."

Kusuma still did not accept, a tinge of anger was very visible on his face.

"This is for the good name of the Kusuma family. Just tell me the Eagle has decided to get married. That woman is the Eagle's heart's choice. Surely everyone will not question further."

"But, Lang. Wanna put where Mama's face, if everyone knows Kusuma's daughter-in-law is not from the office."

"You don't mess around, Lang! Papa would be more embarrassed if people knew the woman's background!"

His parents' words did not care at all about the Eagle. "Follow the words of the Eagle. If it's Papa and Mama want everything to be okay."

"From the beginning the boy was just causing trouble!" sentak Kusuma was annoyed by the behavior of Thunder.

"Enough!" The eagle moved from its seat.

"Don't entirely blame the Thunder bang. He's an accomplished kid first, but ever since you've been busy with politics, he's been knocked out. Lucky Eagle never cares about your affection. Eagles can live well without thinking about the indifference of mama and papa because of busyness. But, in contrast to the Thunder bang, he was easily affected by such things."

Kusuma and Rania were silent for a moment. What the Eagle said was not wrong. They have been busy these two years, with endless political affairs.

"Don't always blame others. Indeed what we do is not necessarily entirely true, and vice versa. What we think others are guilty of, is not necessarily that person is entirely guilty."

Although the Eagle was young, but the Eagle quite understood how to behave.

The eagle left the dining table. He doesn't want to stay there. The eagle did not care what his parents did. Busy with each other's affairs, judging all can be solved with money.

Lucky a myriad of busyness makes the Eagle not focused on it. Unlike him, Thunder felt frustrated because his parents were too indifferent and did not care. Thunder chooses promiscuity, drunkenness, wild racing.

Though Guntur is an accomplished graduate.

It all started when Guntur refused to become the successor of the Kusuma family. Thunder is more interested in the automotive field. According to both parents, it was a less than bona fide job.

Being the successor of the Kusuma family must be much more proud, especially Guntur is the oldest child in the Kusuma family. That was what his parents wanted without caring about his son's feelings.

When I'm dizzy. The eagle chooses to train martial arts in a karate sanggar. Unlike Thunder who often gather with his friends. The eagle is just the opposite, he prefers to be alone. Sometimes his assistant accompanies him on certain matters, but befriends? Eagle thinks he doesn't need that.

...****...

In office.

"Sir. Sorry, I have noticed that you are daydreaming. Like something's been troubling you?" ask his assistant named Teddy.

The eagle looked at Teddy. "Have you ever dated, Ted?"

"Dating? Of course I have." Teddy answered honestly.

"Still dating until now? Or have you broken up?" ask the eagle again.

"Still, Sir. He and I have been together for five years."

"Five years? Long time too." The eagle rubbed his chin.

"What's wrong, sir? Does the Eagle have a girlfriend, too?" ask Teddy. His boss was never seen holding a woman.

"Don't go to you." The eagle massaged his temple.

"Sorry, sir." Teddy.

"I want to ask. What if your boyfriend suddenly gets pregnant? What are you gonna do?"

"Pregnant?" said Teddy, shocked.

"Yes. For example, I want to know your opinion."

"I'll take responsibility, because it's my fault too, sir. As men must stick to the principle of not running away from our responsibilities. That's what we're doing" Teddy commented.

The eagle was silent for a moment. Teddy was also confused as to why his boss asked such a thing.

"If she's pregnant, not with you. But you are required to be responsible for the reason of trust? What do you think?"

Teddy was stunned before finally chuckling.

"Why are you laughing?" asked the Eagle while frowning.

"Sorry, Sir. But it's really funny. If we are not doing what we are responsible for. The trust? Is the person who gave the message crazy? Why throw responsibility. That's not fair to us, sir."

The eagle listened and digested the opinions of his assistant. But his brother did it for a reason. It might have been a premonition before the accident. But Teddy's words are not wrong, if it is digested it is a stupid act, marrying a woman who impregnated her own brother. The argg! Frustrated eagle.

"Exit you. I need it myself."

Teddy was surprised, did he say the wrong thing? Her thought. "Bright, sir."

"God... Why do I have to experience something like this? Be married?You're crazy, Lang!"

But this was his decision. The Eagle Principle says there are two things to abstain from being pulled. Pull back what he gave. The second one, drew the words that had already come out of his mouth.

Right now the Eagle must take responsibility for the decision that has come out of his mouth. He still has to marry Dara.
