Destiny of the Village Girl

Choices

Surprisingly, keeping a baby is not easy. A fussy baby in the middle of the night leaves Leony awake most of the night. Adam also woke up to hear the whining of his son.

He saw his wife was holding her baby who did not stop crying. He felt sorry for his wife. But whatever the power, his wife had even been cold to him for days. It was as if Adam was living with a stranger.

Oooeeeeekkkkk ooooeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk oooeeeeeeekkkk !

The baby kept crying. Adam got up from his sleep and tried to take his baby.

"Hani, let me be the fat one." Adam immediately took his son. He could not bear to hear the baby's heartbreaking cries in his ears.

Leony let go of the baby's embrace and Adam immediately carried her. In fact, in his entire life he never held a baby. Although she also had a niece, never once did she carry him since infancy.

"Ssssttt, same papah yes son.. already, bobo don't cry anymore."

And miraculously, the baby fell silent in Adam's arms. Leony who saw it felt astonished and not felt like being led by the baby. For almost half an hour he stood holding his baby who also never stopped crying. Just 10 seconds he was in his father's arms had stopped crying.

"Hmm, ask her in papah's hold ya Inanng... why? bosen carried with him mamah, yes? mom, it's a frown... Is it baby boy??"

Leony turned his face away as if he had heard nothing.

"Hani, mas laper. Masakin fried rice dong?"

There was not a single answer that Adam heard.

"Hani...?"

Still no answer.

"Hani, don't sleep yet. Mas laper nih, masakin fried rice first there."

"Begging Rizka mas, who knows she's better than my cooking."

Adam breathed a rough breath. He felt the emotion of hearing it. But he also realized, he did not have the right to vent his emotions. Anyway, all of this is his work.

After a long time carrying, Adam put his baby who had fallen asleep. He walked into the kitchen and opened the magicom. Actually there are still side dishes to eat, eggs and also instant noodles. But he wanted to eat fried rice, so he cooked her that night.

He prepared all the ingredients and cooked the fried rice. And he did not forget to add instant terasi sambal as a flavoring.

The aroma of fried rice fills almost the entire house. When it was ripe, it ate very well. The clock shows at 2 am. Taking care of a baby is not easy. Waking up in the middle of the night even made her stomach go hungry.

Leony followed into the kitchen and opened the frying pan. There is still a serving of fried rice. He took a plate and filled the fried rice on his plate.

"Take Hani, I'm full."

Adam was talking alone. Not a single word came out of his wife's mouth. He only passed after filling his plate and taking water. And just pass by to eat in the room.

"Sabaarr sabaarrr ...." Adam muttered to himself.

Seeing his wife eating in the room, made him reluctant to enter. So, he just lay on the sofa while watching television.

************

The next morning, he woke up and was still on the sofa. Apparently he fell asleep last night. He's looking for his baby, not in the room. Apparently the baby is being bathed.

Adam is ready to go to the office. He immediately took a shower and had breakfast. His wife finished the housework quickly. Even though he had a baby, he did not neglect a single job.

"Hani, I'm off to work. If you need anything just call, you'll be home soon."

In the office he could not even smile. The attitude of his wife who was cold was slow had also turned him cold.

He stepped into his room, and how surprised he was there already Rizka, Anita and her mother.

"W-what is this? why is everyone gathered in my room?" Adam was confused.

"We've got a little closed meeting here, quickly sit Adam!" Mother's mouth.

Rizka looks a little down like never before. His face was as pale as if he had not slept all night. Her eye bags are very black, although covered with makeup still does not change anything. His skin is also drier and darker.

Adam takes a seat next to Anita who is directly opposite Rizka.

"Rize, Adam. Mama doesn't need to explain anymore what we're talking about here."

The atmosphere became tense after his mother said that.

"Rizka, how old are you now?"

"Two months and a half mah, 10 weeks." Answer Rizka weakly.

"Rize, Adam. You two will not be able to unite. Mom will make a choice for you. You don't have to choose one of them!"

The atmosphere was getting tense, no one dared to interrupt his mother's conversation.

"You won't be able to be together, so you'll only give 2 choices."

His mother paused his sentence and continued. "First throw away your content, Rizka. Giving birth to a child from someone's husband will only make you ashamed and destroy the reputation of both your parents."

They were all shocked by his mother's words.

"That's the first choice, and the second option.You can preserve your content if you love the child, but after he is born you should let me take care of him. And you can continue your life again. And again the reason your parents won't let you embarrass them is because you're pregnant with someone's husband!"

Rizka was silent a thousand languages heard her mother Adam's words. Adam and Anita are no exception.

"What if I don't choose one??" rizka asked, she said with a trembling voice.

"If you don't choose both, I'm forced to talk about this issue with your parents. Maybe your parents have a better solution."

Rizka was surprised to hear the words of her mother Adam.

"Rizka, let this child be born! mom will take care of this!" Adam said to Rizka.

Rizka was silent at Adam's words.

"I didn't expect Rizka, I thought you were an educated woman who thought things through. But I was wrong! look at the consequences of your short thoughts! you should think about the consequences first. Not just you, but you!" His mother pointed at Adam rudely.

"You two are equally short-sighted! free you guys are in high school but your thinking is so shallow!"

The atmosphere became increasingly tense.

"Rizka, I'm waiting for your answer!"

Rizka nodded and stood out of Adam's room. He quickly went home.
