Getting Married Due to a Trap

Denada's regret .

Khaira just parked Asep's motorbike, he saw Abah who was going to go to the mosque, “Ning is nothing Abah. Last time Ning just fell on the street,”

Abah saw his daughter walking limp, then rushed to him, “Mana maybe you just fell Ning, your way was limping,” Abah saw his ontel bike that was still held by Asep, he said, “See the bike ontel Abah alone can not lie, setang kong,” Abah pointed his ontel bike.

“Asep why you can be with Ning?” ask Abah to Asep.

“So Asep accidentally saw Khaira on Bah street. He has been limping,” replied Asep still standing in the yard with a bicycle ontel.

“Oh so,” Abah lead Khaira to enter the house, “Asep let's go first Son, the bike just put it under the mango tree,”

Asep nodded then leaned his ontel bike under the mango tree.

His intention to go to the Abah mosque was undo, although time almost showed echoing the adhan magrib, because indeed Abah was a Muazin in the mosque not far from his home.

Abah leads her daughter to sit on the old sofa of the living room. So did Asep who entered Abah's house. Asep sat on a sofa not far from Khaira.

“Open my legs!” erang Khaira was in pain in her ankle.

“Try me to see your ankle Ra, fear of sprain or what it is,” said Asep felt should check the condition of the ankle Khaira.

Khaira stuck out her legs and pulled a little of her plisket trousers. It seems clear that there is a reddish rash and a slight swelling in the ankle area.

Abah clearly looks worried about her daughter, “Iya actually sprained, Ning,”

Asep saw Abah, “Excuse me, can ask for help. Please bring cold water same lap,”

“Daddy, Abah will get it for a while,” Abah put her alphabet on the back of the sofa, and immediately went to the kitchen.

Asep noticed Khaira's swollen ankle, “This is quite severe Ra, his swelling,”

While enduring the pain Khaira was surprised, “Times the heck Sep? How long until it can be healed completely?”

“Well at most one week,” Asep replied he saw the look of Khaira's face bent, clearly describing the discomfort of enduring the pain.

“Times can be that long?” ask Khaira to make sure.

Asep nodded, while slowly stomping Khaira's feet.

Abah returned to the living room with a medium size basin filled with cold water and a small towel, then put it on the table, “This Sep,”

“Please Bah, “answered Asep.

Asep began to squeeze the towel that had been submerged in cold water, then stick it on Khaira's ankle.

Khaira suddenly felt cold, “Cold!”

“Cold water can inhibit the swelling of Ra,” Asep said while pressing a towel on Khaira's ankle.

Abah sat beside Khaira, he could not bear to see his son endure such pain. “Kok can be like this anyway nduk? Why aren't you carefully pedaling the bike?”

“Ning is okay Abah, Ning is just a little sprain. Most tomorrow also Ning healed,” replied Khaira steadfastly, she no longer wanted to make her single parents feel worried.

“You are not yet Ning's parents, you won't understand what parents worry about her child,” Abah feels Khaira is hiding her pain.

“That Ning was fine,” Khaira tried to convince her brother that she was fine even though she wasn't.

“Always hope that you are always okay nduk,” replied Abah, then switch to look at Asep, “Asep thank you for helping Ning again,”

“Nothing Bah, it is fitting that fellow humans help each other if anyone needs,” replied Asep gently.

“You wait a minute, Abah make tea,” said Abah then stood up.

Khaira continued to observe Asep, this kind, attentive man always made his heart more broken, in his heart was joking about Asep the owner of a face like Iko Uwais, “Ingat Khaira, do not baper. Just because he treats you well, doesn't mean he loves you.”

Didn't want to feel like her heart was blown away by Asep's good attitude. Khaira asked her to take care of her feet, “Udah Sep, let me take care of my feet. You go home, this is magrib,”

Asep looked at Khaira who was asking for the lap she was holding. “You kicked me out?”

Khaira shook her head, “No! Just I don't want to take care of you, already there gih home, you will be tired of coming home from work,”

Asep was speechless and it was clear that Khaira was not as usual. He knew that the girl in front of him was evading, but for some reason Khaira was avoiding him. “Alright, I'm home,”

Khaira raised her hand to ask for a small towel that Asep still holds, “This lap is Sep,”

Asep gave Khaira a small towel. “May soon recover Ra,”

Khaira nodded, “Iya, thanks Sep,”

Asep got up from his seat and turned his back to Khaira. But Khaira's call stopped her steps.

“Sep!” khaira called Asep. He took something from his sling bag.

Asep turned around and looked at Khaira, “What?” he saw the girl showing a small paper bag in her right hand.

“This is for you, thanks because yesterday helped me free,” Khaira glanced at the small paper bag and looked back at Asep.

Asep smiled sumringah, and took the small paper bag that was in Khaira's hand, “What is this?”

“An item that is cheap, which I bought yesterday when you finally got the women in front of the toilet,” replied Khaira honestly,

Asep recalled the incident yesterday, he also chuckled a little, “Heheh.. So you went to the toilet for the reason to buy me this, thanks Ra. Well even though there must be a tragedy because I was afraid you ran away because you did not want to pay,”

“Again, thanks Sep.” said Khaira mean it.

Asep nodded, “Sama-sama, I also thank Ra for the gift. Yes I already paid to go home, say with Abah I came home,”

Khaira nodded, “Iya.” she kept watching Asep, until the tired man turned around and left his living room. Not long after, Abah came out with a tray filled with teapots and glasses.

Abah did not find Asep's whereabouts, “Asep where?” ask Khaira, then put the tray on the table.

“Rome,” Khaira replied briefly.

“Why he suddenly came home, is he not saying goodbye to Abah,” Abah sat on an old sofa feeling confused.

“Ning told him to go home,” Khaira answered him honestly.

Abah was surprised at his daughter's answer, “Loh why did you tell him to go home, nduk?”

“He just got home from work Abah, must be tired. Yes, Ning told him to go home,” replied Khaira explaining why she told Asep to go home.

“He's a good guy Ning,” Abah said.

Khaira did not understand what Abah was trying to say, “What does Abah mean?”

Abah let out a long sigh, “It's time you thought about finding a companion for life. Abah ndak will probably continue to accompany you, nduk,”
