Forced Young Marriage

#53

The driver was silent at the thought of the words Merlin said. Seeing that, Merlin felt a little annoyed. Without saying a word, he wanted to open the car door to get out. However, bi Imah held her hand quickly.

"No, miss! What the driver said was true. Afraid this is just a trap, the safety of the lady could be a bet. Aunty doesn't want miss for nothing."

"But bik, what if it's someone who really needs help? We're so evil not to give him a hand, bik."

"Auntie knows what she's feeling right now. For that, let auntie go. While miss, stay in the car. If there's anything, please don't come out. Call the police directly. But remember, don't get out of the car."

"No, bik! Don't you go. Just let me. Because I'm a man, so let me go. Please take good care of young lady. Remember that! Don't get out if there's a problem" the driver said as he got out of the car as quickly as he could.

There was nothing Merlin could say but to follow what Imah and his driver had said. In his heart, he felt a little happy. Because it is surrounded by people who care deeply about themselves even though they do so only because of the responsibilities they are carrying.

Nothing suspicious happened in that place. The driver took the woman he helped to the car.

"Miss, he seems to be the one who needs help. What should we do about him?" ask the driver as he continues to approach.

"Take him to the hospital, driver. There, he can be treated by a doctor. He looks so weak."

"no need. No need to take me to the hospital. Please take me quickly away from here. That's enough" said the woman in a weak tone because she had no energy.

"please. Quickly take me away before they realize I'm no longer in their house. Please .... " The woman spoke again in a weak voice. He spoke in a very soft voice.

"All right."

"Hurry and get him in, driver! Don't waste any more time."

"Okay, young lady."

The driver sat the woman beside him. Then, he got in quickly to run the car away from the place.

"Run the car at moderate speed only, driver sir!"

"But .. the road is not good, miss. Miss will be disturbed later."

"Sir papa. I don't have a problem. This aunt looks very weak. He needs medicine and food to restore his strength."

"alright, miss. I will do as the lady ordered."

"Don't praise me too much, aunt. Because what I do now, I have to do. Aunty is in dire need of help, so even if I'm not passing by, if someone else is passing by, I will also definitely do the same thing that I am doing now."

"No, good girl. No one dared to help people like you did. Already as if some people were passing by on this road, they did not dare to save me. They just look, keep driving their car fast. You are the first person who is so brave to get rid of bad possibilities just because of your sympathy for others. You deserve all the best compliments."

Merlin only showed a grinning smile to the woman. He did not want to comment again. Because it felt, the comments he made were not very necessary for him to say.

"Oh yeah, auntie. Auntie looks very weak. I have a little bread. Maybe this can eat aunty first while waiting for us to arrive at the restaurant," said Merlin while offering a packet of sweet bread that is still intact.

"Miss, that's Miss's favorite bread. Miss hasn't tasted that bread, has she? Why should the lady give it to him. He can wait until we find a restaurant" said bi Imah disagree with what Merlin is doing now. Bi Imah said in a small voice. However, it could still be heard by others because they were in a sealed place like a car.

"Grandfather, bik. I can buy it again."

"Yes. But you have to wait for next week, right? Because this bread will only be sold once a week in that store. In fact, nothing is sold in any other store."

"Grandfather, bik. I have tried this bread. After all, the aunt looked very hungry. So, let him try this blessed sweet bread."

"Aunties. Please eat first."

"What ... wouldn't papa if I ate it? By chance, I was really hungry. I haven't eaten in three days."

"Grandfather, aunt. Just eat it," said Merlin while showing his sweet smile that was very sincere.

"Thank you again, good boy. You are really kind" said the woman with tears streaming down as she looked at the sweet bread she had received from Merlin just now.

'Lord .. if this is a trial, then I accept it cheerfully. However, if this is karma for everything I have done before, then please, forgive me. Forgive me, and please take care of this karma. Because I'm not strong anymore. I am completely aware of the mistake I have made, ' said the woman in her heart as she continued to look at the bread in her hand. Tears still flowed down across her dull unkempt cheeks.

Merlin looked at the woman with pity. Then, he looked towards bi Imah who also fell silent without a word with eyes fixed on the poor woman.

"Tante, what's wrong? Why is aunt crying?"

"Ti-nothing good boy. I was just a little overwhelmed by what I had just experienced. Everything I just experienced, like a dream during the day to me."

"That's called destiny, aunt. Everything that happens, we never know what the future will look like. Oh yeah, don't think about it anymore. Let's eat the bread, because according to the instructions on this phone, the restaurant is a little far from here."

"Y-yes. Be-well."
