My mother has been sick for two days. He locked himself in his room, wouldn't eat, wouldn't even talk to me. My mother's heart was broken and broken, a great disappointment, I knew it, for I too was in a state of disintegration.
"Mother, this is her afternoon grave. Open the door, Mom. Eat first" I asked. Two days mother was sick, during that time I was not allowed to enter, and asked that Mr. Doni replace my class.
No answer, as usual. I was worried to see my mother's current situation. All I could do besides persuade, was just try to contact Aluna, but still the number was off.
That night, my mother was very angry with me. Just this time I let my mother down in the long history of my life.
"What do you mean, Juna? Eling, Son! Don't joke, God doesn't like it!"
"I'm not kidding, Mom. Opa Jer asked me to marry Aluna just so I could look after the girl, educate her to be an ethical and proud girl. After Aluna graduates High School, we'll get divorced, "slightly scared.
The pain on the right cheek, which had been slapped by my mother after my first brief explanation, came back.
"Why do you want, Juna? Marriage is sacred, not for toys let alone a crazy deal like this!" curse mother emotion.
Again the guilt slipped into my heart. Slowly, in a soft voice and clear articulation, I explained the events from beginning to end I could be married to Aluna, so that mother could understand our very different circumstances.
"Mother was also at first already suspicious of Opa Jer's intentions. How could a tycoon like him, looking for you only to marry his beautiful single granddaughter," said Mother bitterly, but still unable to accept this reality.
"I forced Mom, if I don't, Opa Jer will demand compensation because all this time he's been paying for my school and college."
"So, this is just a contract marriage? You're not a husband, just a bodyguard?" mother said slowly, more to herself with a blank look forward.
I know this is very difficult for mom. All this time he hoped our marriage was a marriage that would give us offspring and happiness for sure it was also what mother expected, but in the end it was slapped by the harsh reality. What will the neighbors say? All this time they praised Aluna who was beautiful and knew that she came from among the most respected people, but wanted to be a mother's daughter-in-law.
The next day I decided to go to the Opa Jer room. Despite the lack of confidence, I wanted to know the reason why Aluna had returned to her house. Is my job done? But Aluna hasn't taken the final exam.
My arrival was greeted a little unfriendly by Opa Jer who had made me wait for another hour in the living room.
"Sorry, if I come without asking permission first to Opa. Maybe the purpose of my arrival also Opa can guess," I said trying to push myself to be brave. It's not easy to deal with Opa Jer. The face and body may be old, but the aura of the leader even impressed the dictator is still thick felt.
Opa Jer mangosteen, then back to silence. Long ago the man was unmoved without caring about my presence there.
"Aluna will return to live here, in her home, where she should be. You don't have to worry about her anymore."
The statement was clear, there was nothing to confront anymore. There is no need to defend the wishes of Aluna or myself.
"means..." I can't continue my words.
"really. Your job is done!"
I took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily. Why is it that after my heart is held captive to Aluna, the breakup comes even sooner?
"Wouldn't it be after Aluna finishes school, Opa?" I still wish I could negotiate with that stern-looking man.
"No need! Opa asked for your help to take care of Aluna because she was so drunk that she fell on Digo. Now, it was nothing to worry about anymore, the venereal villain had already entered bui, and from the report that Opa received, Aluna was also no longer interested in the jerk. So, there's no more reason for you to look after Aluna!"
I bowed in my silence. Opa Jer again explained my position. Realize, Jun, you are nothing, just a servant assigned to look after Aluna!
"May I meet Aluna?"
I curse my stupidity. Why else would I meet with Aluna, there would be no use for it anymore. Maybe the girl won't see me again.
"No need, Aluna doesn't want to see you again. Opa had invited, just saying goodbye to you, but he refused."
"Alright, Opa. I'm saying goodbye," break me up. Before I could raise my buttocks, Opa's hand movements asked me to sit down again.
"Opa will take care of your divorce soon. It's best that later when the process goes on, you can be cooperative."
It was like a sharp dagger was hitting my heart. Be ill. Bemoan.
I can only nod. It hurts so much, God. This is how you play with feelings.
"Is there anything else Opa wants to say?" challenge me. Don't think I'm just a doll with no pride. He may take me for granted, but not my mother. By determining when we should get a divorce, it means that he doesn't appreciate Opa Jer.
"No. Enough for now. One more thing, Opa has arranged for your marriage in the village to be cancelled."
Instantly my face paled. Wedding in the village? What does Opa mean by impromptu marriage? But where does Opa Jer know?
"Why? You look confused? It must be in your heart asking, where does Opa know, so, right?"
I didn't answer. My surprise is still full, not yet able to master the situation.
"Before you were married, Opa knew about the incident. You don't think that Opa didn't assign Opa's men to look after Aluna? Every step Aluna's motion is already there to guard."
"Why didn't Opa say anything? Not angry?" I'm still confused. The secret that was almost forgotten was known by Opa Jer.
"That would be Opa's last weapon if you refuse this wedding plan. It'll leave you no other choice, anyway without Opa getting married, you're married!"
There's no word I can say. All this time I was a bego person who worried about Aluna's safety, even though at every step Aluna, had been assigned an invisible bodyguard.
"If there's nothing else Opa wants to say, I'll excuse myself. Mom was waiting for me to come home, waiting for news from me about Aluna's situation," I immediately stood up. There is nothing to discuss with Opa anymore.
"Please. But one more question you have to answer. You never touched Aluna, did you?"
