Friend Bed

Already Married

"Why? Why should you be afraid of your husband, Mum Rahma?"

"I'm afraid of divorce..."

"divorced? Wh why? What makes you think that your husband will divorce you until you change Sachi and Dea?" shakila asked while frowning.

"It's exactly as you said, Miss. I did trade Sachi and Dea because Dea had heart disease. It was in the same car, I was sitting not far away with your mother carrying a little child about two years old who was likely you, and a newborn baby and he is Sachi. While in the car, your mother seemed so frightened and anxious. Until the train finally stopped and he left Sachi in the train that he put on a chair because he was sleeping."

Rahma's words came to a halt, the tightness she felt in light of the events of twenty years ago. Similarly, Shakila who currently can only be silent while brimming her chest.

"Continue" said Shakila.

"Looking at Sachi who was left behind, I never really thought that your mother had accidentally left her. I thought that throughout the journey your mother seemed so anxious about leaving your sister in the car. So, after seeing your mother leave Sachi just like that, I walked up to the tiny baby and held him, in the same sling as my son, Dea. Initially I will leave Sachi to the nearest station or puskesmas. But I was persuaded by the devil's seduction to exchange Sachi and Dea" Rahma said sobbing.

"So right, you swapped them because Dea has congenital heart disease?"

"I'm scared, Miss. At that time I gave birth to Dea in my hometown, without the company of my husband, only with parents. And it turned out that the baby I was born with had congenital heart disease, which cost me a lot of treatment and care. I was afraid that my husband would find out he was angry and divorced me, because our economic conditions were very mediocre. So when I saw the opportunity before my eyes, without thinking, I changed Dea and Sachi. I purposely put Dea in an orphanage so I could meet her whenever I wanted. And I'm also sure, in that orphanage they can treat Dea because the orphanage has a regular donor who always helps them take care of the children of the orphanage."

"You're really petty and very selfish! Do you know how desperately our family is looking for Sachi? And you used Sachi only for your own sake!"

"I'm sorry. But really, all this time I also loved Sachi very much, I already considered Sachi as my own biological child, because for me Sachi was my life savior. I really love Sachi, she's a very nice, smart, and fun girl."

"And we've lost the good, smart, and fun Sachi because of you. So, all the apologies you said were not enough because of the fatal mistake you made, my parents made the wrong decision and thought that Dea was Sachi!"

"I'm sorry, sorry Miss. I will clear up this misunderstanding. Please forgive me."

"It's not that easy, Rahma! My parents already thought Dea was his daughter, and he couldn't have simply believed your words without clear evidence!"

"The evidence is clear? What do you mean?"

"Dna "Tests. You also have to do a DNA test to prove that Dea is your biological child."

"DNA test?"

"Yes, you want to do the DNA test?"

"Bu Rahma, everything that happened was a fatal mistake and this happened because of your carelessness. You must take responsibility for all these misunderstandings. You have to do what Shakila asks you to do to get this straight," Darren added.

"Well, well I want to do that. I want to do what you want, I want to do a DNA test. Where should I do the DNA test?"

"At the hospital. Tomorrow please come to the hospital and see a doctor named Doctor Vallen. He'll help you do a DNA test."

"Tomorrow my driver will take you to the hospital" Darren added.

"Thank you very much" replied Rahma.

Shakila then closed her eyes while exhaling her long breath. "Mom Rahma, now tell me, where is Sachi?"

DEG

"Where is my sister Sachi? Is that Sachi?" shakila asked as she pointed at a photo of a beautiful girl on the wall, her chest felt so tight, and it hurt to remember Sachi. Sachi his sister who should be able to live happily with him, now he does not even know what his fate is.

"His name is Luna, when I was going to give birth in the village due to limited costs, my husband gave a message to give our child the name Luna. And I finally brought Sachi home and gave her the name Luna. For twenty more years, the one Sachi knew his name was Luna."

"Luna?" shakila asked as she sobbed.

"Yes, Luna. She's a very nice girl. He was very responsible to this family, especially when my husband died. He immediately took over as the backbone of this family, even he accidentally took a part time job while in college. My husband loves Luna very much, he always gives the best to Luna including education. Unfortunately my husband died of an accident, so when Luna had not finished college, she had to work part-time to support us and pay for her college."

"You're evil!" shakila.

"Shakila calm yourself!"

"Sister Darren, didn't you hear he took Sachi from us and Sachi must also be the backbone to fulfill his family's life. Sachi must support them! Sachi is not part of their family, Sis! I don't know what sacrifices Sachi has made to them but it is clear Sachi has become a victim of their selfishness, Brother! I can't even imagine how Sachi suffered all this time!"

"Yes I know Shakila, I know. But please calm yourself! Calm yourself, Shakila!" darren said while hugging her.

Shakila was crying in Darren's arms. While Rahma also still seemed to shed her tears.

"Mom Rahma!" call Darren.

Rahma then raised her face, then looked at Darren with fear.

"What's up, son?"

"Where's Sachi? Can we see Sachi now?"

Rahma was silent, her lips were stiff and her tongue was a joke, even to say a single word.

"Bu Rahma, where's Sachi?" ask Darren back.

"Sachi, he's married. He just got married two weeks ago."

"Married?" shakila and Darren said at the same time.

'Oh no, ' Inner Shakila. He looked at Darren.

"Sister, if Sachi is married, Papa can't possibly match him with Devano. So what about our relationship?"

"You take it easy" replied Darren.

"Who is Sachi married to?" asked Darren to be bold.

"She's married to her former boss, her name is Devano."

"What's Devanooo?" shakila and Darren shouted at the same time.

NOTES:

Although the names of Luna and the messum Devano are often spoken here, the author ga tells their story here yes, the full story in the next novel.
