Don't Take My Love

Chapter 4

"Italian..!" answer Anita, Sunarti ma'am and Sunaryo sir.

Damar and his father took off on their motorbike slowly leaving Anita and the family, while Anita accompanied them with a wave of her hand.

Shortly after the two motorcycles were lost from their eyes, Mr. Sunaryo immediately went home while Anita and Ms. Sunarti stepped foot into their home.

"Uncle Naryo had said that if you want to go to Jakarta in order to be invited to see the new house mas Bayu. And all of you will later tell your father in Jakarta." said Bu Sunarti while closing the door of the house.

Sunarti's mother was Anita and Anette, who were the first wives of Mr. Suroso. And now Mr. Suroso is in town with his second wife and a child of his second wife and also Anette who is now with Mr. Anitta.

Why did Ms Sunarti want her husband to marry again? This is because Anette was sick since the age of five, and she was required to wash blood once a month in Jakarta. While their families could not afford to pay for all Anette's treatment in the hospital, Mr. Suroso struggled to work in Jakarta as a personal driver for a CEO of a well-known coffee brand.

The CEO is a widower named Hendra Purnama and has a daughter named Cintya Purnama, who for years was depressed because of her husband's death. But since seeing Mr. Suroso Anita and Anette's father who did look handsome for his age, the CEO's daughter was excited to come back to life.

Because there was a return from both parties, Ms. Sunarti let her husband be seized by the daughter of the CEO of the famous Coffee brand.

"All for the sake of our daughter Anette, I'm willing to share love. And since your second marriage, why do you rarely go back to the village. Besides meeting me, don't you miss your daughter Anita? Anita already want to let go of the long time mas, we will have a daughter-in-law and soon will be fond of grandchildren." muttered Bu Sunarti while looking at the wedding photos and the togetherness of the four of them.

"My hope is we can age together, it seems lost already. Mom, don't you miss me? don't you love me?" ask in the heart of Ms. Sunarti who did not feel her tears.

"My hope is we can age together, it seems lost already. Mom, don't you miss me? don't you love me?" ask in the heart of Ms. Sunarti who did not feel her tears.

Ms. Sunarti then recalled the incident a few years ago.

Flashback.

"I want to get married again!" exclaim the man who became the husband of a sweet woman who became a village flower in a village on the border of a city in Central Java.

They are a couple, Suroso and Sunarti. Anita and Anette were five years old.

It was Saturday night Sunday, Suroso deliberately went home to give money to his wife and expressed his heart.

Sunarti responded with a smile that was made as beautiful as possible. He waited for a time like this. Because her heart seems to already have a filling that her husband will branch out.

A few months Sunarti knew that her husband had a relationship with another woman from his niece who was in Jakarta. The woman my husband will marry is a woman who is ten years old under Sunarti. Which means seventeen years with Sunarti's husband. Because Sunarti and her husband are seven different years old.

"Who's that woman, Mas?" asked Sunarti who seemed to not know it at all.

"Cintyas. The woman's name is Cintya Purnomo." replied Suroso with an unkind face.

Sunarti still maintained my smile. Even though her heart was crying, of course, which woman did not cut her heart when she knew her husband had shared his love.

"Do I know him?" ask the curious Sunarti.

"No, you don't know him. He's from out of town. She's the daughter of the employer named I work." replied Suroso who did not dare to look at his wife's face.

"Oh .." said Sunarti who listened to her husband's answer, and still tried to hold back her tears so as not to come out.

"Did you allow it?" ask the curious Suroso.

"What if I forbid it, Mas won't marry her?" sunarti asked back.

"Do it if it can make Mas happy" said spontaneous Sunarti.

The sentence escaped Sunarti's lips just like that, because Sunarti was afraid of sinning if he forbade it. She was afraid that her husband would come into contact with the woman behind her.

Even worse, he was afraid that they would commit adultery.

"A...Do you allow it?" suroso asked who confirmed his hearing.

"Yes, but tell me first what's the reason you want to get married again?" ask the curious Sunarti.

"I don't really want to get married anymore either, but it's all because of our daughter Anette. Yes, for Anette!" suroso replied while looking at Sunarti with a faint look.

"Anette?" ask Sunarti who is more curious.

"Yes, the cost of Anette in a hospital in Jakarta is very expensive. My salary is not enough. I owe the same to Mr. Hendra, my employer. And everything has reached tens of millions, how can I afford to pay for it? So Mr. Hendra gave me a solution, I'll be debt free and even all of Anette's treatment and medical expenses are guaranteed by Mr. Hendra, as long as I want to marry his daughter Cintya." obviously Suroso and Sunarti listened carefully.

"So yes" said Sunarti who took a deep breath and let go slowly.

"Cintya was depressed, always in the room and rarely ate. It has been since her husband died in an accident. But he changed since I worked there, which is why Mr. Hendra asked me to marry his daughter." Suroso continued.

"Oh, so is that it? what a pity for her." muttered Mother Sunarti All right for the sake of our daughter, I bless you for remarrying . But I'm asking for help, please don't let the kids know first. Let me tell her slowly," asked Sunarti to her husband.

"alright. Do it if it's the best." said Suroso who sighed.

They were at the dinner table for breakfast. While Anita has gone to school with her friend named Damar, Anette is still in the treatment room at the Jakarta hospital.

The family life of Sunarti and Suroso can be said to be ordinary. Categorized happy, not too. And if categorized as unhappy, not really. Because it is not as dramatic as the story of the novel or soap opera.

"When can I meet him, Mom?" ask Sunarti later.

"When do you have time? I will take you to Jakarta if you want to meet him." replied Suroso who looked at his wife.

"Tomorrow may also, because Anita is also off for a week because of the semester test. So all of us visit Anette, replied Sunarti who remembered Anita's holiday, and miss her daughter who was in the hospital.
