"Now Elisha is gone. So, you don't need to be confused to make Shahnaz your wife, Jendra!" Rania.
Both Jendra and Syahnaz who heard it were both shocked. They did not expect Rania to be able to say that.
"What's the fuck you talking about?" Jendra still could not accept the loss of Elisha. He had no thought of making Shahnaz his wife at such a time.
"In the meantime the child that Shahnaz was born with. He needs clarity of identity. Would you let your child be confused to take care of his legal status?" ask Rania.
"That's an easy problem, Ma. I can get people to take care of it." Jendra didn't seem to bother with it.
"With your child unborn, marry Shahnaz. Later you can introduce Syahnaz and his son as your little family in front of everyone. It's also important for business continuity" said Rania.
Jendra laughs. It felt like he was going crazy with Rania's will. It is not that he did not want to accept the presence of Shahnaz and her son, he was still unable to release Elisha.
"Ma, don't force Mas Jendra. I'm okay like this. If Mas Jendra really wants me to go after giving birth is also okay," said Syahnaz lirih. He was already very guilty with the departure of Elisha, if until the quarrel of mother and child, he could not forgive himself.
"You don't have to feel bad! You are carrying the flesh of Jendra. You deserve a confession, Syahnaz! I won't defend my own son if it goes too far like this!" Rania resolute.
Jendra nipped his forehead. The problems we face today are very emotional.
"Give me time to think about it, Ma. My brain feels like it's going to explode" complained Jendra.
"Give time give time ... Hunt the boy down, Jendra! He's your son, you know! Elisha's business is another matter!" rania urged.
Jendra looked at Shahnaz who had been confused by the debate between the child and the mother. He looked at the large belly of Shahnaz, thinking of the soon to be born child. Imagining the future of the child, made his heart slightly moved. He himself has felt the difficulty of life without a father figure. He might let the same thing happen to his son-in-law.
***
Jendra doesn't have much consideration. At the instigation of Rania, he finally agreed to marry Shahnaz. Of course the marriage was not celebrated, only limited to the formality of including the name of Shahnaz in the family list and making a marriage certificate.
Jendra was forced to approve a divorce lawsuit filed by Elisha to him in order to legally marry Syahnaz. Despite his compulsion, he could not blame Shahnaz's position. Especially since the beginning he himself was deliberately prolong Syahnaz was there. In fact, he had planned to make Syahnaz never get pregnant so that he could wear it as he pleased.
"Oh, finally Mama is not confused anymore if there is a brother who asked about my son's wife. Especially in a moment I will have a grandchild" said Rania with a look of her happy face.
Syahnaz could only smile awkwardly. He agreed to the marriage without thinking. Especially related to the identity of the prospective child who needs certainty later. A mother is willing to sacrifice even if it hurts.
The plan to leave that he had long put together had to be forgotten. He will try to survive a little more there, at least until waiting for his son to be born. If it's not up to it, maybe it'll rethink.
"Yes, Ma. I also intend to take Syahnaz home for a while," said Jendra with a flat face expression.
"Yes, leave now so that he will not come home later!" rania Pinta.
"Come on!" Jendra invites Syahnaz.
"Mama, I say goodbye first" Syahnaz said in a polite tone. She kissed and kissed the hand of the woman who is now her mother-in-law.
"Yes, Honey. I hope your mother understands this situation. Be careful on the road." Rania hugged Shahnaz before her daughter-in-law left.
Jendra led Shahnaz's hand to walk her towards the car they were about to ride in. Despite his cold demeanor, Jendra remained kind to Shahnaz. He helped open the car door and put a seat belt on.
"Mas, you don't have to go this far just because of Mama's request" Syahnaz said as the car started to go. Jendra is focused on driving.
"I'm lazy to argue with him. It's all like this, what else?" gumam Jendra.
Shahnaz. He tried to reflect on his decision this time while stroking his distended stomach. He felt that a marriage that was not based on love was very painful. Moreover, her husband still could not let go of the shadow of his first wife.
He imagined a harmonious family that could make his son would feel happy to have a complete family. However, either they can carry out the role of a good parent or not when the child is born.
"You must be very sorry to finally have to marry me" Jendra said.
Shahnaz raised her head in surprise. He looked towards Jendra.
"What do you mean?" shahnaz did not understand.
"Don't you always want to run away from me? You really want to get away from me, don't you?" sindir Jendra's.
Syahnaz was silent for a moment when he heard Jendra's words. What he said is true. He had long planned to run away from the cold man.
"After you became my wife, I probably won't let you go even if you feel tormented with me" Jendra said.
Syahnaz did not respond.
