Forced to Marry a Disabled Girl

Past Ben 4

"W-what, Ben's brother moved schools?"

"I'm not sure if elo is adeknya, but if it is also similar anyway!" Leon is a monologue himself.

"Emang elo same brother you do not live at home, how can you not know?"

"Yes, I live with my grandmother."

Leon mangosteen, while fixing the location of his bag strap that slightly shifted.

"Si Alby moved to Pramudya Elementary School, and next year his Junior High School there, that's what I think is horrified! I'm back first yeah, ti ati lo on the way!" Leon touches Ben's shoulder and leaves.

After Leon's departure, Ben looked up his face hoping that at this time his tears did not fall back, why should Pramudya, the school that became his dream at that time.

"So come on, hunt the rain!" Dadang who was assigned to pick up Ben every day approached Ben who was still standing beside the school gate, while the weather turned cloudy this afternoon.

********

8 Months passed just like that, and during that time Ben was still faithfully waiting for the arrival of his parents, who to this day never come.

Can't wait to hold back the longing, this afternoon Ben recklessly came to his parents' house without telling his grandparents.

"Oh my goodness, is this really Aden?" nah almost cried when she saw Ben standing at the door of his employer's house.

"Yes, aunt, how are you?" Ben grabbed the hand mbok Nah to be experienced.

"Well good den, aden himself how, feel at home grandma and grandpa?"

"Well, as you can see, I'm healthy, and I feel good about living there."

"Thank God den!"

"Papa's mom has mbok?!"

"Papa work, if mama is in the room again nemenin den Alby."

"Sister Alby why?"

"Den's pain, pneumonia he said."

"Serious aunt?"

"Yes or aunt's time is a lie."

******

Ben hesitates to enter the house he left 8 months ago, his gaze sweeping across every corner of the house that is no different from since his departure.

There is a feeling of fear that now covers his heart, fearing that the mother still has not received it, fearing also if he is no longer considered a family in this house.

"Ben?!"

Ben's steps immediately stopped his body turned tense with a straight forward gaze, staring at the two beads of the mama who was standing before him.

"You home son?" said Maura who immediately embraced the body of her second son with longing.

"I'm sorry mommy son, I haven't seen you yet, Alby's sick."

"Ma!" those brownish eyes began to condense, staring at the figure he had so longed for.

"Why?"

"Ben apologizes about_"

"Have my mom and dad not wanted to talk about what's gone by, you realize maybe it's all his destiny."

"But ma_"

"Ma!"

"Eat first, you have to make sure what Alby's condition is now!" maura's reply that just passed left Ben in his place.

There was a feeling of tightness that stuck in his chest, why it should always be Alby, did he not ask about how he was, how he lived his life in the grandmother's house.

After waiting for almost an hour, Maura never returned to make Ben try to visit Alby's room, there Maura seemed to sleep soundly with a position sitting next to Alby's mattress which was also sleeping.

Unable to wake the mother, Ben finally chose not to say goodbye and just say goodbye to mbok Nah, that he will go home this afternoon as well.

********

After the incident, Ben no longer hopes to return to his parents' house, unless there is a big event related to the family.

He did not want to isolate himself from his family, but Ben felt that he was like a stranger in his family, but even so he did not forget to always pray for the happiness of his family.

Because for Ben, by seeing the people he loves are always in good health, it has become a happiness for him.

Days change weeks, months change years, until year after year just as Ben was about to graduate Junior High he had to accept the bitter reality of losing his beloved grandfather.

After graduating Junior High, Ben continued his school in Bandung, armed with a scholarship, because he was one of the bright and talented students.

At first Rama and Maura did not agree with Ben's desire to use a scholarship for his school, because he felt he was still very able to finance Ben, even to college though.

But Ben insisted, with the reason for not wanting to bother his parents, especially because they had given the facilities of an Apartment and also one motorbike for him.

After settling in Bandung for 3 years finally Ben graduated from school with a very satisfying value, Rama as a father was so proud of him, a happiness in itself for Ben, Ben, although at that time Maura could not attend with the reason to accompany Darrel in his class increase event.

When entering college, Ben decided to work part-time, to meet his daily needs, enough already he did not want to add to the burden of his parents, because he felt he was an adult, because he felt, and being able to take responsibility for himself.

The following year he began to pioneer business in the culinary field, and successfully, everything went so easy for Ben at that time.

And after he graduated, Ben decided to try something new, setting up a small company that he managed with passion and seriousness.

"Lunatic would-be boss Big brother!" Algar rolled his eyes towards Ben who was now sitting relaxed on the beach on a stretch of white sand that spread to the outskirts of the beach.

"Unfortunately still single!" kekeh Raka who was sucking on a white object tucked in his finger, which immediately made him cough.

"Uhukk.."

"That's why if you smoke don't talk to anjir!" Arsen who was beside Raka shook his head.

"Rasain doesn't feel good!" timpal Algar chuckling.

"Ck! it's not good anymore when it's unfortunate in cheating anjir!" sahut Raka who is now grinding the white object that lives half of it, then throw it in any direction.

"Kurhat lo!" Arsen chuckled amusedly, making Raka hit his best friend's head using a used bottle.

"se tan lo, his best friend was grieving even in the open!"

"The rich are the dead in mourning!"

"The point is the same, We're both lost, right?"

"Whatever!"

"By the way about the mall to Bar yuk, wash your eyes! there's something bad, isn't there?"

"Good idea, Sen, you may! what do you think the two of you are cool?" staring at Algar and Ben in turn.

Algar and Ben nodded slowly in response.
