Forcing Restu

Chapter 4

Rani awakens as the sunlight dazzles, entering from the gap of the curtains. He squinted his eyes, then closed his eyes with the back of his palm, trying to block the glare of the sun.

"Good morning, honey!" Sapa Rio who was already sitting in the corner of the room, while enjoying the coffee he brewed himself. Coffee provided by the hotel, as one of the room facilities.

Hearing Rio's greeting, making Rani widen her eyes. He immediately got up and sat down.

"Mass?" Rani looked at Rio in shock. Why is she in the room with her boyfriend? Think Rani.

Hearing Rani's greeting, Rio just smiled.

"Are you awake? How's it? You sleep well? Good dream?" Rio flocked Rani with a pleasantry question.

Rani, who is still in a confused condition, tries to digest the current situation. Rani looked around. He was in an unfamiliar room, with his girlfriend. This partial? Or is it noon? I don't know, Rani is still confused. Then he realized something strange about himself.

Rani looked at her body, looking at the blanket she was wearing. And it turned out that his body was not wearing a thread. A second later, he also felt a sting down there. Rani looked more closely. Justright. There were some blood spots on top of that white-colored bed sheet.

"YYYYYY!"

Rani screamed loudly. Realizing the possibility that had happened to him. A moment later, he began to cry. His body trembled and his tears flowed down the river.

Rio walked over to her lover, trying to hug Rani, trying to calm down. Despite the negative response from Rani.

"Don't touch me, Mas!" Rani dodges, while continuing to cover her body with a blanket.

"Darling...." Rio was still trying to calm Rani down, trying to grab her shoulders.

"What have you done with me, Mom? Why are you so much the same as me? Why, Mas? Why?" Rani still can't accept the reality. The crying is getting louder.

Rio just fell silent, not responding. Because he thought, Rani will be fine. After all, didn't he himself ask her to do anything to get the blessing of her mother?

"Bad you, my mother! How can you desecrate my chastity! What do you mean, Mas? Why are you doing this to me? What's my fault, Mas?" Rani still can't accept the reality. While crying, she continuously blamed Rio.

"Mas just did what you told me to do." Rio defended himself.

"What did I tell you, Mom? Did I ever tell you to do this to me? Do you think I'm an insane person? To ask you to do this despicable thing to me?" Of course Rani did not accept the blame for this incident. He's the victim here. Why can Rio just say that Rani asked him to do that to Rani?

Rani was stunned to hear the defense of her boyfriend.

"So, you blame me, Mom? I did ask you to try to make my mama so bless our relationship. But this is not the way, Mom! Do you think, with this incident, Mama gave us our blessing? Why do you think so naive like that, Mom? Very funny to you! It turns out exactly what my mother said. You're not a good person! I was wrong, I really believe you, Mom! I was wrong, defending you desperately in front of my mama. And apparently, this is your reply, Mom? You're totally outrageous!" Rani's cry had now turned into an overwhelming rage.

"Yes, don't blame me, dong! I wouldn't have done this either, if you hadn't whined to ask me to try to get your mom to agree to our relationship!" Rio was back in self-defense.

"Better now you go, Mom! GO!"

Rani has lost her patience. She no longer knew what to do, which was clear at this moment, she just did not want to see Rio's face anymore. The burning love in his heart, suddenly extinguished, unceremoniously turned into an overwhelming hatred.

Hearing Rani expel herself, made Rio's anger peak. Yet he still refrains from playing a hand with Rani.

"Oh! So you want me to go? Okay fine! I'll stay with you. And never whine for it back! And don't be sorry, if our hot video game was last night, I'd be spreading it!" Rio threatened Rani with the unexpected.

"What?"

Rani turned her eyes back. She did not expect that Rio would really do that to her.

"You think I'm stupid? I planned everything carefully. Including your attitude like this. I've prepared everything, baby! So, don't mess with me!" Rio stroked the face of Rani who was still sitting stiffly.

A cynical smile appeared on Rio's face. It looks very scary for Rani who does not know the bad side of Rio all this time.

"Hows it? Still wanna act like this? Or will you be even more sorry?" Rio smiled mockingly triumphantly.

"If I don't have a problem, then no one knows. That you? Who wants to accept a woman who has become a used, huh?! There will be no! Or will you lie to the man who approaches you? Saying you're still holy? Truly, what would he do, if it turned out that he could not prove your purity? Because I took it last night?" Rio's smile was getting wider. A triumphant smile that looks very creepy to Rani.

"But that's up to you. I also will not beg you to stay with me. There are many other women who want to be with me. They won't know if I've ever tried you!" Once again, Rio smiled in satisfaction. He really felt victorious, making Rani unable to dwell. Being in the most terrible position, for every woman who desperately maintains self-respect and will only give up on her husband one.

"If I were you, I'd still maintain this relationship. Especially if you get pregnant. Who wants to marry someone who is pregnant outside of marriage? There won't be! And of course, it's not just your bad name. But also your whole family. Your mother will be labeled as a parent who is not good at educating her daughter! Because two daughters are the same! Can't keep his honor!" Rio's getting so-so. It makes Rani more frustrated.

"Already! Enough, Mum! Don't say anything more! Enough's enough!" Rani covered both her ears with her palms. He came back crying. Imagine what he would say to his mother? What would he say to his brother? How did they respond? Various kinds of bad thoughts raged in Rani's mind. In the end, all she could do was cry.
