A week after learning that Echi was pregnant with the consequences of his actions last time, Geraldi tried to complete some of his work to quickly finish from the time he was targeted. His initial plan to apply for Echi at the end of December officially to his parents seems to be accelerated to the beginning of the month. He did not want the news of Echi's pregnancy spread and burdened Echi's mentality later. He does not want Echi to get stressed and do bad things that are not wanted. Let him now spend days and nights working hard to be with his woman.
On the other hand, Pelangi Village was already stirred by the news that the village girl who was known to look calm, innocent, polite, and not neko - neko was actually pregnant even though she was not married.
The girl who became the talk of the citizens did not realize that she was becoming a trending topic among the mother of gossip even by her neighbors.
Until the time the mother came home after from delivering a customer order cake in the morning that looked calm. The blue sky from the morning sun with gentle warmth was not as calm as the mood of the mother. His steps trembled, and a feeling of emptiness, disappointment, was evident in the look in his eyes.
"Assalam mu aleikum." mother grabbed the doorknob and entered the house, with a hasty step she wanted to immediately meet her daughter who lately often sick and sick.
I heard a greeting from inside the house. And this is where the mother now shed tears. Although only a drop of tears fell, but his heart was very bitter. Many wounds and questions in his heart that made tears stifled not to flood his face. The middle-aged woman's chest felt so tight, that it felt like every time she took a breath, she was unable to breathe oxygen which in fact still filled her pulmonary cavity.
"Sorry mom. Sorry..."
Only an apology continued to be spoken from Echi's pale lips that seemed to tremble. Many words crammed into his head but he could not be revealed.
"What's wrong, kid? Why are you doing this to Mom? I believe that my mother's son is a good son. Mother's child is a filial child. Duties to her mother and her religion. But where are all the religious teachings you got? Every time you attend a study there is a religious study that you get. But where the hell is it? The fact is that the theory of religion is not well practiced by you. And what I do know is, you're not a free woman who likes to wander every night with men. But why did this happen?" The mother looked very sorry. Hit will kadaan.
"Don't want me like this, Mom. You know, I try to do my duty to my religion every day. I pray five times, I try to always read the Qur'an, even I fast every Monday and Thursday. I also always pray, asking to be close to good and good people. Even before I can get this close to Geraldi I always pray in my bow, if he is good for me then bring us closer, but if he is bad for me, then keep us away. But why did God make me entangled with his love and even today I am pregnant with his child? Is this fair to me? Is this how God granted my prayer ma'am? I'm dirty mom. I'm sinner. Forgive me ma'am... Excuse me... Forgive me...." With tears streaming down his face, Echi spoke regretfully and his voice trembled, pointing out how deeply he felt guilty.
After a moment of silence, the mother finally approached her daughter and held her arms tightly, trying to give strength to their fragile hearts
