Forced Mate

Meet Your Family's

Ayu's gaze was locked on the door of her parents' house. His two hands squeezed together trying to hold back the uneasiness. All of Ayu's family was in there, and fear began to eat away at her.

"Rumpy?" alex asked as he grabbed Ayu's one hand, "it's cold."

Ayu glanced at Alex at a glance and nodded slowly. He gulped when he saw the door open. There was a mother who stood holding a baby who seemed to be fussy.

"Now enter?"

Ayu exhaled a rough breath, then nodded again.

the mother who saw the car parked in front of the house kept staring at the car. There are usually no cars parked in and unless there are guests. Their families were not waiting for a guest visit, only Ayu was likely to come. However, the parked car is not Ayu's car. He had never seen Ayu's friend drive the car.

The car began to drive into the yard of the house. The crying of the baby in the sling began to sound. Zahra, the baby Mbak Dita and Mas Bima are indeed very fussy especially if it is hot or in the house, the baby is very happy if it is outside the house.

"Brave?" ask Alex.

Ayu nodded again. Dare or not, he had already chosen this path. Whatever the reaction of his parents and brother, Ayu hoped that his mother and father would not hang because of his behavior now.

Ayu got out of the car and greeted her mother who looked astonished.

"Yu, who is that?"

Mom looked at Alex who was also out of the car.

"You haven't paid for the ojol!" Mother rebuked Ayu who kept on stepping closer

Ayu turned to look at Alex who was following her.

"Not ojol, Mom!"

Ayu revealed her teeth and immediately grabbed Alex's one hand. He clasped Alex's hand and lifted her into the air.

Arini's mouth, Ayu's mother opened slightly and lost focus on the baby she was carrying. Then he forced a smile in his confusion and shifted a little to let Ayu and Alex pass by.

"Let's go in, Zahra's fussy!" Mother permits.

Ayu took off Alex's grasp. "Let me be fat, ma'am."

"Eh, take the guest in first. Not polite!"

"It's okay, Mom. Let me be the fat one."

Mom gave up and moved Zahra in Ayu's sling.

"He knows Indonesian, right?" Arini whispered to Ayu.

Ayu simply nodded, then turned her attention to Zahra.

"Let's go in!" take Arini to Alex who still looks shy.

Ayu held Zahra and spoke to the baby. She is very good at taking care of babies, it does not take a minute Zahra has calmed down.

"Mom come in first!"

Arini smiled kindly at Alex before entering.

"Here, I want a sling too!" pinta Alex to Ayu with a ready hand to take over Zahra.

"Zahra's fussy, she doesn't like new people."

"Calm down, he won't cry. I'm a good father-to-be."

Come caving. Zahra is now in Alex's arms. The tiny baby looked calmer in Alex's eight, while Alex was busy babbling for Zahra.

Arini who entered the house, went straight to the dining room where her two daughters-in-law were busy arranging food while joking. He raised an eyebrow.

"Where's Zahra Ma'am?" dita asked after seeing Arini enter empty-handed. "Has Bima already come down?"

Arini shakes. "Yet, it's still the same Dad as Pandu above."

Dita and Ira looked at each other with frowns.

"Then Zahra where's Mom!" ask Dita again.

Arini replied in a daze. "Ah, I live outside."

"Well, who's the same, ma'am?" Ira was panicking.

" uh, freaking out so, there's Ayu outside."

Ira and Dita started breathing a sigh of relief. Ira continued pouring the dishes into the bowl while Dita arranged the drinking glasses on the table.

"Seat the same plate plus, Ayu bring a friend!" pinta Arini's.

"Friends? Karin what's Tamara?"

Arini's hand swayed in the air. "his friend's man."

The two daughters-in-law stared at each other again with eyebrows raised on each other. Of course they are very enthusiastic to see a boyfriend who is under by their cool brother-in-law, considering that Ayu never brought a man home other than Arya first. If now Ayu brings a boyfriend, it means that the man is not just a friend.

"What time, Mom? How's the guy?" ask Ira curiously.

Dita just wanted to get out. "Yes, so curious. I'm going out ah."

Arini held Dita. "So, look at it for a second."

"How do I die wondering, Mom? Just peeking at me."

"Can't! Continue serving food, I'm hungry from earlier."

Dita relented and further served a large plate of sweet sour shrimp on the table.

"But I think I've seen Ayu's friend before."

Ira who was done with her work approached Arini. "School friends first, Mom. It's time for the CLBK reunion."

Arini clucked in annoyance. "Where did Mom ever see Ayu's boyfriend at school. The shuttle Bima if not Pandu."

Seated in a chair while enjoying a corn parchment. "That's not the neighbor's child, ma'am."

Arini shakes. " His eyes were clear, tall, white, his nose was so full of mercy. Like you're his face."

Ira and Dita looked at each other meaningfully.

"Don't tell me you think what I think?" said Dita after putting the parchment.

Ira nodded, signaling to Dita that their thoughts were the same.

"I'm out first, Mom!" Dita breezed out into the living room followed by Ira who ran small to catch up.

Because the food was neatly arranged at the dining table, Arini allowed the two daughters-in-law to complete the taste of his kepo. While he himself chose to sit and gently finish the parchment that had been tucked a piece by Dita.

Sura grasak-grusuk distracts Arini. He turned around and found Dita and Ira pushing each other. The faces of the two women were pale.

"What's up, you see, you know?" tanya Arini has not caught the change in expression of Dita and Ira.

"Looks like I should get out now!" pinta Ira with a heavy voice.

"Yes Mom, I'm afraid Mas Bima lost control. He's emotional about it, especially if it's Ayu's problem."

Arini immediately stood up and followed her two daughters-in-law.from the living room she could see in the living room there was Ayu and her boyfriend and Father, Bima and Pandu who were sitting on the sofa.

Inevitably, Dita stepped closer to Ayu and grabbed Zahra who was in Ayu's sling. He had a glance at Pandu's expression which looked terrible. He swallowed looking at that angry face. Pandu known by Dita is a very loving sister, compared to her husband tempramen, Bima, Pandu is more gentle and wise. The figure of Dita's dream sister.

Dita did not hear what the problems that made the tension last long. Simply looking at the boyfriend that Ayu had brought with her had already made things clear. Ayu's boyfriend was exactly with the man in the photo that was going viral this afternoon.

"Sir, let's go with me in the room?" ask Dita to Ira.

Ira, who did not want to participate in the confrontation, chose to join Dita. He couldn't help much if he lived there anyway. Not to mention that her husband's face was terrifying at the moment, she wasn't sure she would be able to see the anger Pandu had never seen even in their 8-year marriage.

"That's the man in the photo, Ma'am. I didn't see it wrong, did I?" ask Dita as they start to step up.

Ira just nodded.

"It's actually more cute, huh, Mommy?"

Ira glanced sharply at Dita. "You, you still think about it."

"But it's real, Mom."

"True, anyway." Ira agreed and laughed.

"Nih, Ma'am yes, if I was so Ayu would not have nyesel I left married with Arya, instead cooler."

***

The tense atmosphere continues. There was no sound, only an eye, but if a gaze could kill then Alex might have died from the Scout's gaze.

Ayu from earlier just looked down. The guide is very different from usual. Ayu still remembers the first time she introduced Arya to her brother, Pandu was very warm and received Arya well. However, Ayu realizes that she is wrong and it is natural that her family is angry.

If you do not remember that what happened to Ayu was also Alex's fault, then he Tidka will put the man in a precarious situation like this.

Ayu raised a fleeting face and saw her father who looked very shaken, as well as Mother whose face started to turn red. Only Bima looked calm.

"You think marriage is a game!" snapped Pandu in a loud and deep voice.

"The guide, calm. Shame on hearing the neighbors."

Behind her tension and disappointment, Arini still thought about the neighbors who might hear a commotion in her house.

"Light as well, Mom. Less are we the same Ayu!" yell at the driver again.  "And that jerk guy, doesn't know himself!"

Pandu's gaze turned sharply at Alex who had been silent from earlier. "You think Ayu's an orphan you can just take and marry!"

Ayu's chest began to rumble.he took a quick glance at Alex, I don't know what Alex would do at this time.The man's joke would not help at all in the situation as it is now.

Now Pandu turns to Ayu. This time the voice of Pandu softened. "What do you consider Daddy, Yu? Why are you stupid like this?"

Ayu looked down and could no longer hold back her tears. He disappoints his family many times, and if they know the reason Ayu married Alex due to a one-night alcohol mistake, then Ayu cannot possibly have the face to stare at them again. Whatever it was, Ayu had to endure it, she had to endure it.

Suddenly I felt a soft touch in her squeezing hands. He turned to look at the owner of the hand, then looked up at the eyes that tried to convince him. Yes, Ayu is not alone, Alex is beside her. Although not known for long, but all the actions of Alex who although a little rash, but the man is very full of responsibility. All Ayu has to do is trust Alex as Alex once said he always had a plan.

Alex held onto Ayu tightly, starting to gather courage before starting to speak.

"True is not at all wrong, all my fault."

Ayu's eyes grew bigger hearing Alex's words. He's starting to get scared, if until Alex divulges the real thing.

"And I never thought marriage was a toy. Although without vows and wedding vows, but when I first asked Ayu to be my wife, at that time I vowed to make Ayu as the only wife and mother for my children."

Alex's face was very convincing, his tone was very steady. If only Alex had said that sincerely, then Ayu would probably have cried again from being touched. He is very talented to be an actor.

"Because from the first time I knew Ayu, I was sure she was a very precious woman that I had to take care of." Alex added.

"You think your reason is enough to justify your irresponsible actions! Don't know shame!" reply to the Guide with teeth chattering to restrain anger.

Alex returned Pandu's gaze. He didn't want to lose, he wanted to prove to Ayu's brother that he wasn't messing around.

"I don't mean to justify my actions. And if it's for Ayu, I'm ready to throw away my shame."

Pandu who was already very furious could not hold back anymore. He got up and immediately pulled Alex's collar. Panicked Arini immediately shouted hysterically calling out the name of her eldest son. While Dwiki stroked the chest trying to calm down so that the condition of his body that has begun to illness does not go down.

Alex did not react at all when Pandu's burly hand clutched tightly onto his collar. Even being hit seems like he won't fight back at all, he deserves the man's tantrums.

Bima who was closest to Pandu immediately stood up and pulled her brother to retreat.

"Already, Mom! He's Ayu's husband now." Bima chose to be rational.

The palanquin turned on Bima after removing its grip.

"What stupid wedding is that?"

"Loh, they got married in Singapore and it's legal. Legally they're husband-wife."

Pandu began to fall silent. He sat back with his jaw hardened.

Ayu who had chosen silence began to speak up. "I know I was wrong, Mom. I'm sorry, Mom, Dad!"

Ayu's grip on Alex's hand tightened. He could feel the soft elusan of Alex's thumb on the back of his hand.

"But Mas has no right to judge my actions and Alex's. Alex was the one who proposed to me, but the one who asked for a surprise wedding in Singapore was me." Ayu.

Ayu stopped and took a deep breath, trying to strengthen herself. He is completely not lying, although he did not ask directly, but he was the one who made Alex desperate so that there was no other way.

"Did Mas ever date long continue to be left alone when the invitation was all spread? Nah! After Arya left, I thought I would never get married. For Mas maybe our actions are not responsible, but for me this is enough to prove that Alex is a very responsible man."

Pandu. He of course still remembers how hurt Ayu was when Arya cancelled their marriage. That makes Pandu lose control, he does not want his beloved sister injured.

According to the news circulating Alex and Ayu just got acquainted some not the past. And what makes Pandu more up and down is the recognition of Alex who lightly said that Ayu is a precious woman that he wants to take care of. Alex must not know that since the day Ayu was born, Pandu has made Ayu a precious pearl that he will always keep. Seeing his pearl taken for granted, of course Pandu can not accept.

Dwiki got up weakly. "Mom, are you hungry, is the food ready?"

Arini stood up. "Yes, Dad."

Dwiki walked away.

"Let's eat first! Just talk later, wait till your head gets cold."
