Fugitive Woman

Fugitive Woman
Manisah ma'am



I don't know what happened, but since that night Kinanti was never again bullied by any inmate. The gang of thugs women also no longer harassed Kinanti. Let alone groaning, turning towards Kinanti even they did not dare. Kinanti herself did not understand what was happening. But Kinanti believes this all has to do with her cellmate, Ms. Manisah.


And since that night, Ms. Manisah always accompanied Kinanti everywhere. In every spare time, Bu Manisah will be with Kinanti. Either just sitting chatting with Kinanti, or even occasionally massaging Kinanti's legs that are getting swollen. Kinanti thought maybe Bu Manisah had a child her age at home. Therefore he seemed very attentive to Kinanti.


As a result of spending time together, Kinanti was getting closer to Bu Manisah. Kinanti had already told all of her life stories to the old woman. How he was born into a poor family, worked, and then got the durian collapsed into the son-in-law of a wealthy family. He also tells about his life because of Darian's affair and eventually he ends up in prison for something he never did. And every time she heard the story, Ma Manisah could only look at her with pity. It was as if I felt what Kinanti was going through.


But Kinanti herself still keeps a lot of questions about her new friend. Ma Manisah never once told me about her past. Moreover, the case that supports him so that he must be confined behind bars. Repeatedly Kinanti wanted to ask him but was always undone. Kinanti was afraid he crossed the line and even hurt Bu Manisah. But his curiosity was mounting and it was not until when Kinanti was able to endure it.


"Mom Manisah..."


The old woman turned to hear Kinanti call out to her.


"Yes, what's up, Ti?" Ask Ma Manisah.


Kinanti hesitated to continue her question. But as if capturing the doubt in Kinanti's heart, Bu Manisah smiled.


"You want to ask about me? Why am I in prison?" Said Mrs Manisah.


Kinanti answered him with a nod and a faint smile from feeling bad. Bu Manisah was silent for a moment before finally sighing heavily.


"The story is very long, Ti."


...****************...


A young manisah is just a village girl who wants to change her fate. He really wants his life to be better and his parents do not need to rely on the farm anymore. Therefore, at the age of eighteen Manisah tried to pit his fate in the capital. Armed with a high school diploma and fifty thousand rupiah, Manisah began his adventure in a foreign city called Jakarta.


Fortunately good. Exceptionally well. Within a week, he managed to get a pretty good job. Although not a prestigious job, young Manisah managed to work in a large office as a lackey or often referred to by the name of office girl in present times. His monthly income is not great, but at least Manisah can send a little money to his parents every month. With that little money, his sister one by one can go to school until high school.


But who would have thought that in three months of work, something big happened in his life. A new manager came to the office where he worked. The beautiful and innocent country girl never looked at the man more than a superior. But the man seems to have other intentions on Manisah. Every morning, the man would go to the pantry where Manisah worked and ask for a cup of coffee. Then during the day, the man would call Manisah into his room. Either ask to buy lunch or even ask for a sore shoulder massage. And again, the naive Manisah will gladly obey him.


Without notice, the routine continues to occur every day for six months. Manisah who initially kept his distance from his superiors over time began to tear down the barrier wall. He opened himself up and got closer to the man. The man also often throws sweet words that make Manisah lulled. Makes a village girl dream that she can marry a city guy with a brilliant career. Manisah began to hope that maybe his life can be better without having to mop the office every morning.


And that night, a big life-changing mistake happened. That night, there was no one in the office. Only Manisah was there to clean up the office after the big event of the release of the old Chairman. Manisah was sweeping the office room when the voice of a man called out to her.


"Sisa, Tissue. Can you come here for a second?"


The girl turned her head and saw the manager who was always chatting with her calling her to enter her room. Unsuspecting, Manisah entered the room. He thought maybe the man needed his help to do something.


But as soon as Manisah entered his room, the man immediately ambushed her in his arms. Fell it so fiercely. The originally panicked manisah melted away over time in an intoxicating kiss. The two clashed together and clashed affectionately until they crossed a boundary they should never have broken.


One by one the clothes were removed and eventually the two united in a hot game on the table. Everything happened in the man's office. Overnight, the sanctity of Manisah which he had been guarding, was lost in one go. That night, Manisah the village girl gave up her honor to the city man who had been seducing her. And after it's all over, Manisah can only cry. He was ashamed of himself. He felt guilty for his father and mother in the village. And another fear that came to the mind of a village girl.


"What if I'm pregnant, Mom?" Ask Manisah while crying.


The man approached Manisah and stroked her head. He smiled reassuring Manisah that everything would be fine and he would definitely take responsibility.


"Yes, Ma'am. Ma'am Manisah is now eight weeks pregnant." Said the midwife after seeing the results of the Manisah test.


Fear and panic. How can a woman get pregnant before marriage? What would he say to his parents? How will the villagers look at Manisah? Will she be responsible for her pregnancy? However, there is a huge gap between the two. The man is a high-shake man while the woman is just an office errand boy. Cleaners and coffee makers.


"I'm pregnant, Mom." The man admitted it to the man. There were only the two of them in the office that night and Manisah was sure it was the most appropriate time to say it.


At first Manisah was very afraid that the man would run away from his responsibilities and told him to abort his womb. But the man then smiled at Manisah very sincerely.


"Then I'll marry you." Said the man steady.


With just that one sentence the entire restlessness and fear of Manisah collapsed instantly. He was sure that he would not face everything on his own. Manisah believed that his son would be born with complete parents as he was raised. Manisah the innocent girl happily welcomes her wedding day with the idol.


But who would have thought that life after his marriage was far from Manisah's dream. The man only married her in a betel and was attended by two witnesses who did not know who. Three months after they got married and lived as a couple, a woman came running over him. Accusing and pointing his index finger at Manisah. Calling him a household destroyer and other bad words.


And that guy? He followed his first wife and promised Manisah to return to him after the affair with the first wife was over. Manisah waited and kept waiting. The man did not come even though every month there was always a remittance. Manisah still vows to be loyal to her husband even though the man disappeared somewhere.


One day, the man came back. The man greeted her wholeheartedly. She smiled and hugged her husband tightly. Manisah shows her son who was born and is now five months old.


"Look, Mas. Our son is born. She looks a lot like you."


The man smiled happily and held his son.


"Yes right, he looks a lot like me." Say the man.


"From now on you're going to stay here, aren't you, Mas? You're not going away again?" Manisah asked worried that her husband would leave her again.


The man nodded and promised to be with Manisah forever. But the man who came was very different from the man he married. Her husband is no longer working and all he does is get drunk all day. The war became harsh and harsh. Every day he would scold Manisah who came home from washing at the neighbor's house. Not infrequently the man hit and slapped Manisah until the woman's face was bruised. But what can Manisah do? He could only weep for his own fate.


At its peak that night, lightning raged in the midst of the swift rain. Her husband came home drunk and asked Manisah for money to gamble again.


"I haven't paid, Mas. I don't have any money!" Manisah cried when she saw her husband dismantle their closet.


But her husband lost his temper. Her daughter's broken cry seeing her parents fighting sounded deafening. Her husband darkened his eyes. With emotions burning all over her body, the man grabbed the crying seven-month-old baby. His hands slammed the baby girl hard on the floor. The baby's crying gets louder and then disappears completely.


...****************...


"Then what happened, Mom?" Ask Kinanti. Ma Manisah seemed silent for a moment. The story was very bitter and he could not continue.


"I don't remember what happened, Ti. Suddenly I saw blood everywhere and there was a kitchen knife full of blood on my hand. The bastard's already lying lifeless before my eyes." Said Bu Manisah slowly.


"What was on my mind at the time was just saving my son. So I immediately held my son to be taken to the midwife. But it turns out my son was dead before I got to the midwife." Connect Bu Manisah.


Kinanti. Living with these people really gave Kinanti a new outlook. There are those whose lives run aground and are fertilized but never give up on reaching a new life after getting out of prison later. Some feel resigned and accept how fate will take him for granted. But Kinanti will make her own way. No matter how long it takes, he will make Darian pay for all his mistakes.
