Forced to Marry a High School Girl

The pieces of the past

Dinda unceasingly looked around, where it seemed that some buildings had changed much different from the last time he lived there a few dozen years ago.

Not the more beautiful he saw, quite the contrary, some of the buildings that used to be the tallest buildings have now begun to collapse in some parts, even the streets he passed by were no longer like the roads in general.

Some buildings and other houses are similar to empty buildings that have not been occupied for a long time.

Dinda even had trouble to just move his legs because of the height of the grass that reached his knees.

Not satisfied with just looking at it from the side, Dinda continued her steps towards the main place she wanted to go.

In front of there, the house with the smallest size among others, which also can not be said to be good, because the house already looks very unfit to be occupied, some of its roof tiles began to fall, and some of them began to fall, likewise with the color of the paint that begins to fade and peel in some parts.

For a moment he pegged, as pieces of the past fluttered in his mind.

Flashback..

*

"Din, can you give me a chance, just once again, for the sake of our son." said the man in shabby clothes with sweat drenching some of his clothes, he did not even have time to wash his hands and feet filled with mud after plowing the fields owned by his neighbors.

"Can't! look at you, mas! you are not even better than a kingpin who is begging me, do you realize you are dirty and disgusting, I am ashamed! I'm ashamed to have a husband like you." said Dinda in a sobbing voice, really she is not strong anymore to live life as she feels today.

"But Din, what about our son, he's a kid? although you are no longer with me at least do not stay away from Anggi Din, he is still too small to live without the affection of a mother, please Din just hang on for a little while longer, please, at least until he's actually a little bigger Din."

"Once I say no yes no! you take care of him, you weren't the one who wanted him the most, so don't take me with you about him, and one more divorce me right away, and never see me again." continued Dinda, making a tired face of the man in front of him bowed resignedly.

"Well, without you asking, I don't think we'll ever see each other again."

"Good then, take care of our divorce papers immediately, I wait!" he said as he pulled a large suitcase and passed from the place, ignoring the small cry of wriggling from the sling of the grandmother who had been listening to the chatter of the two behind the door.

The flashback

With trembling hands Dinda began to knock on the door.

His arrival now may be more than late, but is it wrong if he wants to meet his daughter who he has long left.?

One

Two

Until the third time he knocked on the door and said hello, there was no word from within, and decided to ask someone not far from the house.

"Sir Isaac, isn't it Isaac?" said Dinda smiled kindly to the old man who was cleaning the angkot in front of him.

The fifty-five-year-old man seemed to think hard as if he was remembering the unfamiliar face of Dinda.

"Sorry, who is it?"

"The elevator_"

"The ex-Wife of Rahman sir." explained Dinda, while the middle-aged man who used to greet Isaac was just oh without intending to ask back, and resumed his work.

"Sir, sorry before, is Rahman still living here?"

Silent..

"Sir?" again, when reluctant to get an answer from the man named Isaac.

For a moment, Isaac fell silent, threw whatever foam was used to wash his questionnaire, and stood back to face Dinda.

"You want to know where Rahman is?" his voice sounded a little taut.

"I-yes sir."

"Come to TPU Keji Beling, then there Mbak Dinda will find it."

The deg!

For a moment, his body froze.

"What sir,? TPU Keji Beling? b-not that's_"

"Yes, Rahman died a year after Dinda left him."

The deg!

"No way sir_" Dinda shook her head weakly.

"Rahman was exposed to lung cancer, because a few years earlier he was working more in the gold mines." explained Isaac, making Dinda bowed, he felt slapped with a reality that was so painful.

In the past, when Rahman had not married him Rahman was a handsome and well-groomed young man, because he worked as a teacher who taught at one of the Elementary Schools thanks to the scholarship he got because of his intelligence and persistence in learning.

Until finally Rahman was forced to leave, to find a job that made more money in order to meet the demands that Dinda put him.

Rahman offered to some of the senior workers in jobs as soil diggers in the forests that would produce many gold pieces, which was reportedly very satisfying.

And that's when, Rahman began to plunge in the world of gold mining, and managed to collect rupiah coffers that made Dinda smile happily.

However, this turned out to happen only for a moment, and some time, because now his income is declining, making Rahman forced to find another additional job in order to keep meeting the wishes and needs of his wife.

Rahman is not a man who easily gives up on anything, he will do everything for the sake of his loved ones, especially when he knows Dinda gave birth to his daughter who he always hoped for her presence.
