‘’Pa, I promise I will be responsible for everything I have done against Monik,’’, said Andre Lirih who was looking at Mr. Ardi.
‘’What? You think dong, Ndre. Please listen to Papa. Papa doesn't agree you married a girl that's not right!’’ he snapped while looking at Andre with a sharp gaze made Andre look down. A girl not right? Basic selfish! Isn't this all her son's fault too? Why am I blamed myself? I think I was wrong. Is that how I looked at her papa?
‘’That's all Andre's country too, Pa,’’ replied Andre slowly.
‘’Since when have you been like this? Huh huh? You'll follow insulted and reviled people, Ndre. This family is a great family!’’ snarl.
Allah! Why is it that his eyes are blind, not seeing the real thing. Why does he blame one side? If her son doesn't have me, there's no way I'll get pregnant on my own. I breathe heavily.
‘’Pa. stop! I want to rest first,’’ said Andre slowly and rushed up, but his papa hampered Andre's steps immediately.
‘’You are not polite. Parents talk instead of being heard, just leave!’’ I saw his neck veins, so angry with the middle-aged man.
‘’Pa, I told you. All this is my fault, I have to take responsibility,’’ Andre said. He was still trying to be patient with his father.
‘’You were stubborn!’’ snapped the man in black clothes without caring for his son's reason. As soon as Ms. Karni came over, I just peeked out from behind the wall upstairs.
‘’Ka—you're home, Ndre?’’ karni's eyes glazed over, then rushed to hug her child. And letting go of the embrace slowly, Andre just fell silent.
‘’Papa why this? His son just came, instead yelled all out!’’ ketus bu Karni looked at her husband with a sharp look.
‘’I'm upset, Ma. Ye know? He will marry a woman who does not know himself. I promised to set him up with Nina, I promised my friend, Ma!’’ pak Ardi who was no less looked at his wife with a sharp gaze.
‘’What the hell is you, Pa. Papa shouldn't be like that. Papa should have agreed to marry Monik, not marry another woman. Just be right!’’ Bu Karni looked annoyed and threw away his gaze instantly.
I heard the woman's words made me feel moved, she treated me like her real son. I'm not her husband, I'm not married to her son. Yes, even though I'm pregnant with her granddaughter. It's not like he did when I first visited his house. I thought that Ms. Karni was just pretending to be okay and that there was malicious intent to me, but everything turned out to be wrong.
‘’It turns out you're just as stubborn as this kid!’’ he snapped while pointing at Andre who was kneeling his head because of dizziness.
‘’You are stubborn! Try your introspection, is it good?’’
Makes me stare. What does Miss Karni mean by saying that?
‘’SUDAAAHHH!’’ shouted Andre for a moment. This time Andre's patience was over.
‘’Ngapain the heck Papa is noisier? Mama too. I'm dizzy!’’ he hurried to his room.
‘’Ndre, Mama make your favorite food yes?’’ persuade bu Karni who obeyed the steps of his son
‘’Ngak, Mom. I want to rest,’’ reject it without looking back.
‘’Tuh right, all because of Papa.’’ middle-aged woman stopped her steps and returned to silence on the golden sofa.
‘’For you, where there is because of me. Ngaco you!’’ Mr. Ardi rushed to leave Karni's mother who was still stunned on the sofa with a blank look.
‘’Ya Allah. Since my presence here, Andre's family has become like gini,’’ whispered my heart. Slowly I stepped up shuntily from the top floor and approached the middle-aged woman who was pensive, I nodded beside her.
‘’Bu, ma’afkan me. Gegara my presence here Mother's family so kayak gini,’’ lirihku while holding fingers bu Karni.
‘’Monik, you don't like that. You are not wrong. Don't talk like gini again, yeah?’’ Ms. Karni looked at me with a pity look, then stroked the top of my head that was wrapped in a veil.
‘’Ta—but that's a reality, Mom. All of it was my country,’’ I flowed with a vibrating voice.
Yes, all because of my presence here. As long as I am here, I have never heard the good treatment or speech that comes out of the man's mouth either to his wife or to his son. Every time I looked at me, there was only hatred in her eyes. Is that how I am in her eyes?
He shook his head immediately.
‘’Hussh! Don't tell me that kayak. You must get your rights.’’
‘’Your son needs Father.’’ He stroked my stomach which seemed to be growing. I nodded slowly.
‘’Do you feel depressed living here? Please say, Monik!’’ ask Ms. Karni quietly and hold my finger.
‘’No, Mom,’’. I was very depressed though. Especially when I was yelled at by her husband.
‘’Don't lie to Mom. You must be feeling depressed, be honest!’’ He looked at my face and guessed, making me look down for a moment.
‘’Iya, Mom,’’ I replied slowly while nodding slowly, I lowered my head instantly.
‘’Ya Allah! Why didn't you tell me about Mom? You can't think much, especially until depressed.’’ Karni's mother looked at me with a pity.
‘’Ya already, take a break to your room! Later I will think about where you live while.’’
‘’Iya, Mom. I rest first to the room,’’ my goodbye rushed up.
‘’Let's ask Aunt to deliver food for you, huh?’’ I just nodded and stepped into the room. When I arrived at the room, I closed the door and laid my body on the bed.
‘’Ya Allah, sure enough. Actually my soul is very depressed here. How hard it would be if both parents hated me and kicked me out,’’ whispered my heart while staring at the ceiling of the room. I sighed slowly, a moment later the flat object rang. Slowly I got up, and grabbed it. There's a message in the green app, who? I looked and searched, it was my best friend.
‘’Assalamua’laikum, Monik. How's it? How is Andre's attitude with you?’’ write Ayu on the green app.
‘’Wa’alaikumussalam, Yu. No matter what, he asked me how many months I was pregnant. I was lazy to answer him and he looked at me, I'm uncomfortable, Yu. Very tired of the treatment, looking at him just makes me want to vomit,’’ reply I told Ayu.
Looking at his face made me want to vomit. On the one hand I confirmed Ayu's words in the heart. Yeah, my son needs a father too and I can't be selfish.
‘’But I'm bored, I'm sick of him, Yu,’’ reply me short.
‘’No way, you want to marry him. I'm sure he'll take full responsibility, so you can't be like that. Think about the child in your womb. Don't be selfish.’’
‘’I will try to get rid of this hatred of me. Yes, Yu. You're right, I should also think about this baby in my womb. He could not have been born without a father. But, Mr. Ardi does not agree if I marry his son, Yu.’’ reply me as is.
‘’You can definitely get rid of that hate. Whahuh? Mr Ardi disagrees? I don't think the same with his head. How strong is he like that.’’
‘’Iya, Yu. After I heard the reason, he wanted to marry his son to a woman named Nina. And it seems also because I am pregnant out of wedlock,’’ reply me back with a sad emot.
‘’ Crazy true old man yes. He said it was like that? Not all this is also his son's fault, right? Why egotistical warm tuh Mr. old ya,’’ upat Ayu in message.
‘’I don't think everything out, Yu. It can't be my own fault, right? Mr. Ardi is indeed very selfish,’’ replied to me later, immediately a knock on the door outside.
‘’Assalamua’laikum, Monik! Can Aunty log in?’’
‘’Wa’alaikumussalam, Bi. Please enter! Not locked,’’ answered me while putting the flat object back on the nightstand.
‘’This Aunty brought rice, sambal and healthy snacks for you. So that the baby in your womb is healthy.’’ Aunty walked in a row carrying a tray containing food and snacks.
‘’Iya, Bi. Thanks a lot, huh?’’ I grabbed the tray and put it on the nightstand.
‘’Sama-sama, Monik.’’ He stepped outside, but his steps stopped.
‘’Monik, can Aunty ask?’’ asked the aunt with a slightly doubtful face while looking over.
‘’Iya, Bi. Of course I can,’’ I said with a smile looking at the aunt who stopped her steps.
‘’Now truth, Monik?’’ he asked, I nodded and smiled.
‘’Ma’af previous. Aunty had never asked, but Bibi always thought so. Is Monik really pregnant with Mas Andre's son? Ma’af once again yes,’’ lirihnya while laying hands on his chest.
‘’Nothing, Bi. Right,’’ I nodded slowly.
Instantly the aunt was startled and shut her mouth,’’Allah! It turns out that it is true, Mas Andre who Aunty considers kind and polite can be so,’’ quietly.
‘’Trus, he wants to be in charge right, Monik?’’ tanyanya back.
‘’Initial is not, Bi. Made me decide to tell her Mama, but she did not accept and did not believe she said I was wrong, but finally she believed because I had shown the proof that my picture was romantic with her son, and she was not, until I was finally here. While Andre ran away to his friend's house and did not come back here again. Just today he came back to his house again, Bi,’’ obviously I'm at length. I looked enthusiastic listening to all my explanations.
‘’Ya Allah! I didn't expect Auntie to have all this. But I hope Mas Andre will take full responsibility, Monik. Especially soon the monik will give birth. No way his son was born without a father,’’ lirih aunty looking at me sad.
‘’Ta—but why can all this happen?’’
‘’The story is long, Bi,’’ I said and told you everything that happened between me and Andre.
‘’Astaghfirullah ‘al adziim!’’ Aunt Istighfar and shut her mouth.
‘’But, Monik is not too late to repent. Allah is Forgiving. Provided we really repent and promise not to repeat again,’’ his advice.
‘’Iya, Bi. Thanks though. Please help me to be a better person again.’’
‘’Sama-sama, Monik. Aunty is still learning, Monik can learn with Bu Karni. Although he looks like that, in fact he is obedient to worship,’’ he said with a big smile.
‘’What? Aunty right, Bi?’’ I was shocked and astonished. How can a Karni worship? Remembering that I first set foot in this house, he kicked me out and acted arrogantly. It turns out that someone like that is not necessarily far from his God. Yeah, it turns out we can't judge people by the cover alone.
‘’Iya. Try the Monik see for yourself. Early in the morning around 09.00 try to see him, must have gone berwudhu’ to the bathroom to perform dhuha prayers, often kayak that. Monik himself who never saw.’’
‘’Iya deh, Bi. Tomorrow I will see secretly.’’ I laugh a little.
‘’Nah Yes, Monik. So that you believe.’’
‘’Ya already, Aunty wants to go to the kitchen first. Much to which Aunt should work.’’
‘’If you need anything, call aja Aibi ya.’’ Aunty hurried to resume her steps that had stopped.
‘’Iya, Bi.’’
