20 Missed calls. 15 ignored video calls.
All from Raya.
Last night when Arya entered the room, she slammed her smartphone to death. Then fell asleep in a cry without a sound. This stiff man involuntarily wept over his unfavorable fate.
The next morning when he woke up he realized to contact Raya. He must know this now.
Arya picked up her smartphone, she saw it just die without any significant damage. Thankfully it didn't break just a little blister. He turned it on and was even more grateful that he was still functioning.
Arya hurriedly called Raya.
Not long after the phone was picked up with a hoarse voice on the other end.
"Ay.." said Arya. Then silence.
"You ain't nothing, Ay?" Ask Arya slowly. Then answered with sobs Raya.
Arya who was worried immediately turned her phone into a video call. When Raya lifted it, it looked like a swollen face of Raya. Eyes swollen. Arya's heartache saw the state of the Kingdom like that.
"I. I. I don't want us to end up like this, Ay!" kata Raya stammered racing with sobs. His voice sounded so sad.
"Do you know everything?" ask Arya moody.
Raya nodded while pleased.
"I'll talk to Papa again. Don't be sad, Ay." comfort the man.
"The girl's time is a handsome man crying so ugly gini, her face is tangled.." teased Arya.
"What the hell is Ayang! I don't care if I'm ugly for anything. I'm sad to know." said Raya Sebel.
"I understand, Ay. Don't cry anymore, yeah. Here I give you an air hug let you calm down." exclaimed Arya. Stiff guy with a weird fight.
"What the hell are you doing. I'm sprained with you. You can talk seriously about it!" raya said angrily.
They become quiet.
"Don't embrace the air. He wanted his real embrace. Mulu bosen air!" kata Raya again tried to calm down while wiping away the tears on her cheeks. He tried hard and tried to stop crying.
"And the real hug if we're married, and.."
"Yes, if we marry. What if you were married to an actor?" sela Raya then crying again is now increasingly becoming-so.
Arya feels guilty. He was confused to see Raya like that. Arya tried to calm Raya back and comfort her, but it was not working.
"Well, I know this is wrong. I also know as a man I'm a coward and can't do anything about it. And I was confused as to how." said Arya but only responded by the cry of Raya.
"Now you rest, yes, I want to try talking to Papa again, who knows my Papa will change his mind." Finally he told Raya to rest while Arya would talk again with her Papa.
Arya ran down the stairs looking for her Papa. He saw Papa in the living room with his mother.
"Good, Doc. Please save my mother, no matter how much I will pay if my mother lives!" Papa panicked on the phone. Arya's grandmother went to the hospital again. Already often things like this happen, his heart pain recurred again and need surgery. Papa loves Grandma very much. Every once a week Papa even visited Grandma's house to see the situation and almost every day Papa called to ask news.
"Why granny, Pa?" ask Arya.
"His heart is crumpled again. Papa has to get there right now with Mama" said Papa hurriedly and rushed to the exit while calling the driver.
"We go first, son. If there's new news about grandma, you're going to call me" said Mama, stroking Arya's arm and then going to follow Papa.
"Son, just prepare everything for your wedding and Marissa. If it takes anything tell Arman." Said Papa from a distance.
"Pa. pa. but Arya wants to talk about Raya, Pa.." pursue Arya but her Papa just waved his hand without turning to Arya. Mama who heard that turned her head with a pushy look but said nothing. Then follow Papa.
Arya snorted in annoyance. Well how is this. Arman is Papa's assistant. Not Aryan's parents. All Arya needs is to stay married to Raya and cancel the marriage with Marissa instead of the other way around. Can Arman help him with something like that?
Arya. So he decided to go to Raya's house, at least he could persuade Raya's father to keep their marriage.
But unfortunately, when he arrived at Raya's house, Om Randy remained on his decision to cancel the marriage.
"Son, Dad's company is on the verge of bankruptcy. You don't love Daddy? How will we eat, how will we live, where do we live if our source of income is lost?" Om Randy asked for understanding.
"But. tapi.. Raya's.. You can't, Dad! Raya dear to Arya.." replied Raya in sobs.
"Yes, I know you love each other and love each other. But our situation is not good. Now we have to give up first, there will be a time when you can be together. Just until Marissa gives birth." said Om Randy.
"But Om, I can't be like this either. How I lived my married life with others for less than a year. I don't know how to deal with it." said Arya.
"Listen son, you just have to live it. Let's just say he's just a friend who lives together. Friends share a roof like in a dorm." Answer to Randy.
"Just what friends, Dad? How can men and women live together? What if one day Arya starts to like the actor? Raya ga willing! It doesn't want to! It doesn't want to!" the hysterical scream made Arya sad. Thought Arya, so much love for her that she did not want to lose Arya.
"Why should Arya be responsible for someone else's pregnancy? Maintaining a good name for a brand and company? What kind of shit is that, Dad? Fuck all this!" Again, it was hysterical.
"Rayana! What kind of attitude is this. Why are you like that? I never taught you to be rude like that!"
"Raya doesn't care. I don't understand Raya's feelings! Why should Arya be responsible for someone else's pregnancy? Arya belongs to Raya. Arya should be responsible for the pregnancy of Raya not anyone else. Arya is Raya's boyfriend! Prospective husband Raya!" scream the girl again.
Arya was confused at what Raya had just said. Grand Pregnancy? Mean what?
"You talk about what Raya is! What does pregnancy mean?" Ask Om Randy.
"Raya's pregnant, Dad! I'm pregnant with Arya's child!" jerit Raya's.
"Haa... pregnant?" arya muttered in confusion.
Aryan's eyes feel like fireflies. His head suddenly dizzy. "Did I hear wrong?" insinuations
"Om. I didn't do anything." said Arya stammered.
They're speechless. Only Raya was still crying.
Randy seemed to think, he alternately looked at Arya and Raya and suddenly laughed. "Hahaha my girl.. Ckckck.. So long as you don't want to split up with Arya." Om Randy sighed with pity to Raya. "Dad knows you're lying, making excuses to keep your marriage going. But the decision is unanimous. I ask for help understanding Raya and also you Nak Arya, Om ask for help understanding this situation. This promise is only temporary. Until Marissa gives birth to Om will surely marry you," when Om Randy talks like that suddenly the front door of the house opens. Looks like the mother Raya came with her second child, a little boy who is still 6 years old. Rabbet.
"Ehh. There's Nak Arya." Sapa Raya's. Arya also returned the greeting.
"John ko's sister crying?" ask Raka's tiny voice.
Om Randy who heard that did not want to make this uncomfortable atmosphere until it was seen by his son who did not understand anything.
"Raya, now you just rest. You also want Arya to go home, rest at home. The day after your marriage with Marissa," heard that the mother of Raya looked gloomy and quickly invited her son to enter the room.
He also stood up, but Raya still insisted on what he had said earlier.
"Raya ain't lying, Dad. Really pregnant!" the word Raya again. The look on Om Randy's heart. Same with Arya. He feels guilty. Not because it has impregnated Raya, because there is no history of Arya touching Raya other than just holding hands. But he felt guilty for Raya's strange attitude. Arya is afraid this makes Raya become stressed and depressed.
Arya also approached Raya, gathered in front of her while holding her hand. "Raya, you calm down. I can't cancel all these plans. But this is only temporary. We just need some extra time until we can come together. I promise you there won't be a relationship with Marissa until she gives birth. Because the only woman in my heart is you. And you know that." said Arya softly but impressed to have given up on the situation.
Raya while crying her head. "Engga, no. I don't want Ay. I can't. I can'taa!" the hysterical Cry.
Om Randy patted Arya on the shoulder hinting to let Raya like that. With a heavy heart he stood up and took off his grasp. But it was prevented by Raya, he stood up while still grasping and staring at Arya while crying as he pleased and still shaking his head.
Om Randy is also the same with a heavy heart holding the arm of Raya helps to release the departure of Arya.
He nodded at Arya to leave immediately and Arya nodded. Raya still shrieks calling out her name even after Arya comes out.
Arya got in her car, she was upset. Hit the steering wheel and blame himself. Do I have to accept the situation and let Raya be like that? Ask in the heart.
Arya actually wanted to not give up. He wanted to try one more time for the last.
Arriving Arya's parents at home later at least he should return to discuss this with them. If with Om Randy can't, maybe with papa he can. Because it is impossible that his father could have pawned Arya just for the sake of a company product.

But apparently, his father was.
"Son, don't you see our condition like this? Your grandmother was a very dear mother. He's sick now. Need maintenance, need costs, we also need a source of income. Our employees also need a salary. Taxes for companies, houses, vehicles we have to pay. If you don't want to help Papa just this once, what will our lives look like in the future?" ask Papa ".you are the successor of the company. You will also enjoy this sacrifice. Papa only asked you this once, son. Please." Please Papa when Arya expresses her desire to remain married to Raya.
Arya was silent for a moment. Although all this is wrong, but what Papa said is true. Although he can buy a luxury car, able to finance the treatment of grandmother, but if the family business goes bankrupt what their lives will be like. It was as if his words that had once overshadowed this matter were no longer meaningful.
The same thing with the life of the Raya family who are struggling to recover from the accounts payable that must be immediately paid to the bank. If indeed Mr. Aga will invest with Om Randy as a partner, it will certainly benefit the Greater family.
Lively papa said earlier, does Arya have to give up just until Marissa gave birth?
Arya wants to discuss with Raya but somehow she is difficult to contact. Even Raya does not want to meet Arya even though she has been sandwiched in her house. What is that rage with Arya?
Until the day of the wedding, Raya could not be reached. Arya was confused and anxious. He asked Om Randy many times, but the father said that his daughter was fine and told Arya to stay focused on her marriage.
Until the unexpected wedding day arrives.
The magnificent wedding building that has been prepared for the party looks sparkling. Black Honda civic with a flower decoration in front of him was already parked in front of the altar door. A beautiful woman who was so foreign walked out of the door in a long white dress. His face was covered in a white tulle cloth. But Arya who was standing waiting for the girl can still see her face even though it is unclear. I think I met this guy at the office. Ah, it's only natural. He is a brand ambassador for the company's products. Thought Arya.
The woman walked in the lead of a man Arya had met, Mr. Aga.
Mr. Aga looked smilingly greeting the people on his left right. Fake smile, thought Arya again.
While waiting for the girl Arya seemed to wander here and there, would Raya come here? Is he okay with this?
But among the guests there was no face of the girl he loved. What is he doing now? Arya's thinking is not stopping. He wants to finish the wedding today, ah no, he wants to finish the next few months until the day Marissa gives birth. At a time like this, Arya even imagined that Raya was wearing the wedding dress, and walked towards her while being led by Om Randy. If it had happened it would not be this gloomy face that Arya would show on her wedding day.
During her life, Arya always thought that marriage was sacred. Only once, a lifetime. But now the thought has been broken, because for him marriage is just a game that can be decided with money.
Marissa stopped right in front of Arya. Now they faced each other to make a holy promise.
The sacred promise of falsehood that can be contracted on paper.
Arya wrapped the ring around Marissa's finger and vice versa. Then she opened the veil of the woman, everyone cheered for Arya to kiss her.
Arya clumsy, how is it? What should be on the lips? Numbness he's in there.
"Kiss on the forehead, stupid." whispered Marissa reading Arya's face pale from nervousness.
Arya was jolted by being called a fool by the newly legitimate girl who became his wife. Not knowing what to do, he did what Marissa said.
All applauded in cheers as Arya kissed Marissa's forehead, and there was also a pie until they kissed. But Arya pretended to be a bitch.
As everyone was rejoicing, suddenly the entrance was wide open, a shabby-looking woman with a matted face and disheveled hair was screaming out loud. Looks like some people pulled the girl including Om Randy among them.
"Richa!" peekkik Aryans.
"You can't marry Ayang. I don't want to, I'm pregnant. I don't want to give birth by myself. You have to marry me!" yelling Raya makes all guests freeze staring at him, not long after the sound of noise whispers and other questions arise.
It looks like Raya was dragged forcibly out by the people who held her earlier.
Seeing that the MC of the show immediately acted to appease his guests and asked for an understanding due to this commotion.
Arya rushes to leave the stage but is held back by her Papa.
"Let someone else there take care of it. You just need to focus, stay here and don't do anything rash" Papa said.
Arya's panicked face could not be hidden. Why has Raya acted so far? Why is Randy talking Raya okay when the situation is the opposite?
Arya obeyed the words of papa even though her mind went everywhere.
"It turns out you're crazy too ya can menggebuntingin people's children. Though it was acting plain." whispered Marissa right dipped Arya make the man's head hot.
"That crazy is you, willing to be buntingin the husband of people." Arya replied. Marissa turned her head while glaring at Arya but she did not care. What he was thinking about right now was how the Kingdom was doing now.
A few minutes after the incident there was an expedited doorprize event to distract the guests. And it is proven that the guests immediately forget the incident and still enjoy the party as it should.
"Only for a 7-month wedding your father willingly doorprize a luxury car. What an image." said Arya while glancing at Marissa's stomach which looks slightly distended like fat when there is a baby in it.
"Ga makes no difference to you and your papa. For this 7-month marriage also you nelantarin the son of the one who is pregnant with your child." reply Marissa. His words pierced Arya's heart.
Where there is Raya carrying her child. Arya knew that Raya's speech was only a form of depression from the injustice of the condition she was experiencing. Although Arya knows but she chose silence. It felt too lazy to respond to Marissa again.
This wedding event takes place so festive let alone decorated with the faces of people who are lucky to get a door prize. Although not all can but at least the guests brought expensive souvenirs. Perfume with famous brand. Arya did not know how the towel souvenir with the inscription of her name and Raya turned into an expensive perfume. And how do they get it with such a short time Arya does not care.
When everyone was confirmed to go home Arya rushed to ask Arman to give her car keys, he was about to meet Raya.
Papa grabbed Arya's arm. "There's no need to rush like that, son. Papa knows where you're going. Raya is in our house. Papa asked them to wait at home so we could discuss together" Papa said.
"Discuss for what, Pa?" Ask Arya.
"About everything, especially about the words of the Kingdom who was pregnant with your child earlier." Arya mendelik, even her father suspects Arya has done something indecent to Raya.
"Pa's depression is why she's like that."
Suddenly Marissa came along. "He was depressed, it was because he felt at the tip of the horn so desperate as it was. I know that" said Marissa. "... because I was in his position.. Arya, your girl is really pregnant!"
