I'm (Not) a Cheap Woman

Arka Forced Marriage

As morning came, Farel and his parents sat in the living room. They were all waiting for Arka to wake up from her drunkenness, even waking up from her sleep.

While in the room, the person they were waiting for rubbed their eyes. Then get out of bed with a very dizzy head. With great difficulty, Arka stepped into the bathroom.

He was shampooing, so that his head did not feel so heavy anymore. Also brush your teeth, so that the smell of alcohol from his mouth is disguised.

After taking a shower, he grabbed the bath robes.

Then walk to the kitchen. This morning, his stomach was rumbling faster than usual. Maybe because the effects of drunkenness last night drained the contents of his stomach.

Arka that is so crazy that it is not aware of the existence of his father, mother, and younger cousins who are gathering in the family room.

“Are not drunk anymore?” ask Pradipta who managed to surprise his son.

Arka flinched, she turned to the source of the sound. Then answer, “Not really, Pa.”

The middle-aged man with exotic skin, large height, and a fairly thick mustachioed was again intimidating Arka. “Why get drunk?” snapped it.

“Because I want to get drunk.”

“Bolder boy!” said Mr. Pradipta while floating a raw bogem on the face of Arka.

“Why can't I get drunk? Brother Daniel can. I must always be good, brother Daniel is not. Papa is not fair to us.”

Pak Pradipta's fist landed back in front of the Ark. “All I'm talking about is true. Why hit again?” ask Arka.

“Already, Pa. Poor son so battered so,” prevent bu Haifa on her husband who is preparing to punch Arka for the third time.

“Your son is so outrageous, Ma. Daniel, before his wife died his behavior was fine. He is not intoxicated, let alone desecrate a woman like this child.”

Arka answered quickly. “Who said I desecrate women? I never did that dirty thing. Drunk also just last night.”

“Freely you cover up your mistakes. Farel told me everything.”

“What did you tell papa and mama, huh? Cousins are not good. Plain face but smooth sense,” said Arka while pulling Farel apes.

“Remove your hands from Farel!” pak Pradipta's.

Farel tidied his clothes that had tangled. “What's the difference with you? Always say Nisa's cheap. Turns out invited friendly,” reply.

The cold house felt even more stuffy because of their quarrel.

“You're like this out of jealousy right? Tell you what, replace me to marry Nisa. I wouldn't marry a cheap woman like her.”

“Arka, stop vilifying other women in front of mama. Are you not aware, this mama is also a woman.”

“But my confession is correct, Ma. Everything Farel said was just hoaxes. That cheap woman, she set me up to sleep with her.”

Farel became upset to hear Arka's explanation.

“Nisa isn't that generous. You must have teased him first. Tell me, how do you stimulate him? Touch the hair, kiss the shoulder, or love a hand touch on the thigh?”

Arka melotti Farel's. “Silent, before your teeth I lose all.”

“You should be quiet. Just ask me to marry Nisa. You sleep, yes you also marry.”

Mr. Pradipta is back. “Farel never lies. Papa trusts him more than you.”

The Arka ego was rising, the intonation of his voice as well. “I never lie either, Pa. To be fair, we just check the CCTV in the office.”

Farel said quickly. “Already, but last night the lights went out. CCTV is not recording. You must have deliberately shut off the power? So that CCTV can not record your bawdy actions with Nisa. So that you can blame Nisa as you please.”

“Shut up your eyes four!” hina Archa's.

Farel lifted his glasses then said, “My better, four eyes. Of you, face four.”

Arka took a swing to give a raw bogem to Farel. But was blocked by his father.

Arka turned closer to her mother, whom she usually could rely on most in times like these. He also sat down with hope.

“Mama trust me?”

“Im sorry mom, son. Mama is also confused, willing to support you but there is no evidence. Forced mama to follow to your papa,” shrewd bu Haifa while holding Arka's shoulder.
