"Darling! why are you always pensive since we're from Rizza and Diera's house?"
"Is there anything that bothers you?" said Disya clutching her lover's fingers, her head rested on the shoulders of Muhibbin while her gaze far looked towards the pounding waves of Purnama Beach.
Disya's lentic fingers play the dry twigs it picks up.
After visiting the residence of Puan Rizza and Diera his friends, Muhibbin and Disya to Surau An Nur which is on the outskirts of Banjar Manguntur, Indonesia, the lovers were sitting in a hut among the rice that had been harvested by farmers outside Surau, the panorama of Purnama Beach was clearly visible from the hill where both were.
"Come, Dis!"
"I feel like I stripped myself naked when I saw that painting of Puan Rizza."
"The brushstrokes and colors he poured, as if to open the veil of the future."
"I don't know why, I felt uneasy when my eyes looked at the work" Muhibbin replied softly.
Breezy wind on the hill edge of Purnama Beach swept across the faces of the two, Disya's soft black hair blushed with the twilight breeze.
"ah! maybe that's just how you feel, Bin."
"There's no need for you to dissolve into unwarranted anxiety."
"And there is still me beside you" said Disya with a sweet smile on her lips.
"Yes, you're right."
"I shouldn't worry about anything unreasonable."
"Thank you, Dis!"
"You're always by my side in times of hardship."
With Muhibbin gently kissing his lover's forehead, a blushing twinkle of hue appears on Disya's delicate soft cheeks, the girl again leaning her head on Muhibbin's shoulders, both of which seem to dissolve with their respective grooves of mind, while the sparrows fly in groups in front of the two between the bases of rice plants that have been harvested by farmers.
"Honey .. " said Muhibbin hanging his words.
"Heemm .." Disya's voice was still lightly held with the view still directed to Purnama Beach.
"Aren't you sorry, you're going to marry me? muhibbin lirih.
Instantly, Disya lifted her head from Muhibbin's shoulder, the girl looked at the lover's face.
"You're weird, Bin!"
"Now we'll get married, if I'm sorry, there's no way I'm gonna agree to your proposal to Dad."
"I know who you are."
"I know who your family is."
"We don't know two days."
"Do I need to give up my social status so that you feel comfortable and do not doubt my love for you?" disya said still in a flat voice answering Muhibbin's question.
"Do you change your mind yourself?" disya exclaimed back, her gaze sharply looking towards the young man beside her.
"That's not what I mean, honey!"
"You must not misunderstand me first to interpret my words" said Muhibbin explained the direction of his conversation to Disya.
"Then, what? disya asked, the girl's face now seemed to change.
"Is there something you've been hiding from me all this time, so you ask me like that?" back the businessman's daughter asked.
There was doubt on Muhibbin's face. Seeing her lover misbehaving, Disya asked again,
"Does this saying of yours have anything to do with that woman in your past?" telisik Disya's.
Muhibbin was still bowed, his fingers pulled a piece of grass near him, his gaze still pointed to Purnama Beach in front of him.
"I hesitate to say this, will after I tell you, your judgment of me change?" muhibbin asked the girl next to him.
"Depends!"
"If what you're saying is made up, maybe I'll be offended."
"But if what you're saying is the truth that I should know, I'll consider." replied In short, the look on the girl's face became more and more curious as to what her lover would say.
"Sister Rizza met We Landep, Dis!" muhibbin said vibrating. The young man was increasingly agitated from his hand playing a piece of grass that he had picked up earlier.
"What does this have to do with Rizza?"
"Who is We Landep?" cecar Disya is back.
With a sigh, Muhibbin gathered his courage to tell the news of his friend to the lover.
"So, when you and Diera were looking at your wedding dress, Rizza told me."
"A week ago he accidentally met We Landep at the Tenten market near the Governor's residence."
"Now the Coast Country has a new leader since the death of Mr. Timoti."
"But the extended family of the late Mr. Timoti still occupies the governorate house until now" said Muhibbin still looks doubtful.
"Yes, that's what I know."
"What I don't understand, what does this have to do with Rizza Brother and the guy named We Landep?" tanya Disya is back.
"We Landep asked myself to Rizza" Muhibbin said briefly.
"Then .." said Disya, with a sharp gaze the girl was still waiting for Muhibbin's explanation.
"We Landep is a servant in the house of the late Mr. Timoti, he told me if Sariwati is currently sick, since the process of delivery at Selasar Rumah Budaya seven years ago, he experienced permanent paralysis."
Disya's face flushed red implying jealousy when Sariwati's name was mentioned by Muhibbin.
"Yes, go!" the girl said short.
"Sariwati since giving birth has been divorced from her husband and the incident hit Mr. Timoti's feelings until he died of a heart attack due to the incident" Muhibbin said with a sigh.
"What does all this have to do with you?"
"Aren't you in Bhayangkara's prison for the woman's family's heinous charge?" exclamation Disya by holding back the anger.
"Suami Sariwati divorced herself because she knew that the child she was born with was not the seed of the male offspring of the land of Tidar."
"The child ... " Muhibbin did not continue his words, Now the young man increasingly bend his face did not dare to look at Disya beside him.
"Why don't you keep going!"
"Or is the child your child?" disya's voice rose up, the girl could not help but hold back her anger, she got up from her seat.
"Say!"
"Is that boy your flesh and blood, Bin?" now tears flowed down Disya's face.
"Say, Bin!"
"Is that child your son!" disya's anger now could not be restrained, while Muhibbin just bowed silently without a word.
"I don't think you're that alphabet!"
"Are you unconscious or pretending not to know, if your flesh and blood will bear the burden of your stupidity for the rest of your life?"
"How about his bribe, how about his guardianship if he later has a family?"
"You don't have the right to be his guardian because the child was born outside of marriage, are you not aware of that!"
"Stupid!" disya's hands drifted towards Muhibbin's cheeks, the girl's body trembling with rage, her cheeks now wet with tears.
Muhibbin just bowed shy and felt guilty before his lover, the pain of Disya slap on his cheek was not felt.
"I'm khilaf, Dis."
"It all just happened."
"I don't know if the fetus in Sariwati's body at the time was my flesh and blood."
"That news I knew from Rizza Brother earlier because he accidentally met We Landep."
"For you to know, at that time I went straight home to my village, invited my family to immediately propose to Sariwati and make amends for what we did."
"You know for yourself how your late mother arrived in this country sick."
"I really don't know, Dis."
"And this is what I'm going to explain to you before our marriage."
"I don't want you to know or hear from anyone else" concluded Muhibbin, the young man got up and approached Disya who was sobbing beside him.
"Don't take the name of your late mother!"
"Don't you touch me!"
"Stay away from me!" tekik Disya among his sobs when Muhibbin was about to embrace him.
"Dis, listen to me first!"
"It all happened outside our consciousness."
"I'm so sorry, Dis!" iba Muhibbin, but Disya did not budge with Muhibbin's explanation.
"You're evil, Bin!"
"You're evil!" disya shouted while running away from Muhibbin, the girl ignored the call of Muhibbin.
"Dis, wait for Dis!"
"Him!" pekik Muhibbin while running after Disya.
