Getting Married to a Cruel Man

Contrition

The sound of knocking on the door was hunting. Tone hugged Zubaida's grandmother tightly. They were in a very small and fragile corner of the room. Afraid if it is the loan shark that these few days keeps coming to collect the debt. 

"Don't go out, Nad. Grandma's scared." Zubaida's grandmother drew Nada's hand that was about to come out. 

"But, Grandma. They will still force their way in and ask us to pay the debt" Nada replied in a soft voice. 

Zubaida's grandmother was forced to owe money to loan sharks because Haira did not send money. However, he could not return because there was no income, while Nada was not able to find money because he had not graduated from school. 

Finally the grandmother let go of Nada's hand and let the girl meet them. 

Window curtain opening tones. I looked at some of the people in front of my house. Although the porch light was slightly dim, he could see clearly if it was not a group of loan sharks, but a stranger.

Then, Nada stared at the appearance of some men wearing black uniforms. They looked neat than Mr. Hilden's men who often collect debts in his house.

Then ready them? Tone is getting curious. 

The knocking of the door is repeated. Nada ventured to open it. I wish it wasn't a bad guy. 

"Where is Miss Haria?" ask a man who is strong. 

Tone furrowed his brows. 

"Sir Haira?" Question tones, making sure he doesn't hear wrong. 

"Yes, we're looking for Miss Haira."

"Sister never came home, instead he did not send money," said Nada with lips shaking in fear.

Even though they were not the people he was referring to, it still looked like thugs. 

The people whispered to each other and took a few steps back. Talking over the phone. After that came back to Nada who was still shrouded in fear. 

"You're not lying, Miss?" ask the man again. 

Tone shakes without a sound.

The man turned his body. Just a few steps to the car, a group came to Nada who was still in the doorway. 

"It just so happens that you're outside" shouted one who had just arrived. 

It was not the herd of men who asked Haira, but it was Mr. Hilden, the loan shark that Nada was afraid of. 

The hot air came instantly making the entire body of Nada filled with sweat. The cold of the night no longer reacted like it did.

"You want to pay the debt, when? Don't keep promises, if tonight won't pay, I'll make sure we get married tomorrow" said Mr. Hilden, who struck a shrill tone. 

"Am. I really don't have any money."

Tone lowered head. His two hands squeezed fingers together, showing tremendous fear. Tonight is a determination for him, to pay or to be a slave to the man for good. 

"Now come with me!" Mr. Hilden pulled Nada's hand forcefully. 

One hand Nada grabbed the pole and immediately calmed down, begging for the man's mercy. 

"Sir, I beg you not to take me, I promise you will immediately find money to pay the debt."

Mr. Hilden let go of Nada's hand until the girl fell backwards. "That's what you say, but it's never been proven."

The hysterical crying tone that made Grandma Zubaida come out. The white-haired woman with wrinkled skin grabbed onto Nada's body tightly. 

"Master, give us time. I'll pay it off."

"No, tonight I'm going to marry Nada." Pushing Grandma Zubaida then grabbed Nada's body violently. 

"Wait!" heavy sounds coming from behind. Tone turned his head staring at the familiar sounding voice in his ears. 

A handsome man in white in an expensive suit walked from the direction of darkness. He gripped Mr. Hilden's hand. Putting Tone back into Grandma's arms.

"How much do they owe?" ask Mr. hilden. It was as if challenging the wealth that the man had. Is it still on it, or is it the opposite. 

Mr. Hilden opened the book and immediately counted all the debts of Zubaida's grandmother along with the interest to be paid. 

"Don't get rich, I'm sure you can't afford to pay their debts." Pointing to Zubaida's grandmother who still hugs Nada. 

"My name is Mirza. Don't be afraid, no matter what my grandmother owes me, I'll pay."

Mirza pulled out a check and signed it there. 

"Just write how much you want. But don't bother them" he said, thrusting the paper in front of Mr. Hilden. 

After Mr. Hilden left, Mirza approached Zubaida's grandmother. This was the first time he had done anything with his heart. 

"Sir who?" asked Grandma Zubaida to look at Mirza's face fixedly.

"I'm Mirza. I'm here looking for Haira."

"Haira?" Zubaida's grandmother repeated Mirza's clear words. 

Mirza nodded slowly. 

Suddenly, Zubaida's grandmother shed her tears. 

"Have five months of work. But these two months Haira didn't send money to grandma. The phone number is also inactive. Grandma also misses him, he __" 

Zubaida's grandmother could not continue her speech and embraced Nada. 

Mirza's heart was slashed. Given her attitude all this time which was very cruel to Haira. 

If Haira doesn't come home, then where is she? 

Mirza asked inwardly. It is impossible to tell Haira's fate to Zubaida's grandmother. And there was no way that he would acknowledge the woman as his wife. 

"May I ask, Grandma?" 

"Please enter first, sir. It's not good to talk at the door."

Mirza followed in the footsteps of Zubaida's grandmother. He sat in the living room chair. While Erkan and the others waited in front. 

"Are you sure Haira's not coming home?" ask Mirza again. 

Zubaida's grandmother shook her head without a sound. 

"Do you know Haira?" ask Zubaida's grandmother enthusiastically. 

"Call Mirza, Grandma. I don't know him very well. I'm just __"

I'm just a loser who makes his life suffer. Continue his words in the heart. 

"Haira is quiet. If there is a problem always hidden from grandma. He worked after school. This is his first experience. Last time I called Haira said she was coming home for Nada's birthday, but this past month there's no news."

That's because he's broken. And I am the cause of all this. 

Mirza's chest was filled with a deep regret.

"Does grandma have any brothers anywhere else?" ask Mirza again. 

Zubaida's grandmother just shook her head. 

Mirza moved from her seat. He cannot be silent about this situation. 

"I'll go home first, Grandma. Don'worry. I'll pay for Grandma's life." 

Get in, then put the cards on the table. Giving an explanation to Nada in order to use the card to meet the needs of his life.

Mirza stepped heavily. He entered the car with an increasingly empty heart.opened his glass, staring nanar towards the house of Zubaida's grandmother who was very simple. 

I've ruined Haira's life. Where he went, there was no way he could go far away from here without money. 

"Erkan, you find Haira until you meet, send all your men!"

"Well, sir," Erkan replied and typed the phone in his hand.
