Love Or Debt

*Part 29 Greedy

"You want to learn? What if you don't succeed in your studies later, brother? Will our marriage end in vain?"

Jaka was silent again. Because he still had no answer to what Meta had just asked. While Meta, he who had resolved to give up, now immediately raised his lips to talk again.

"Sister Jaka, I've given you time to study for over a year and a half. But in fact, that time is still not enough for you it turns out. Therefore, I will not survive any longer, Brother. I'm sorry, now I choose to give up."

"Oh yes, Brother. Beside you, there are other women now. He also came for you. With the will that his parents wrote for you. You better marry him. And, learn to love her anyway. I'm sure, this time, you can."

Actually, the words that are spoken fluently are very painful for Meta. He wants to talk while crying. But tears don't want to spill anymore.

Either because it was too disappointed until there was no sadness that he could feel again. Or maybe because I am satisfied. Satisfied with the truth that he could speak smoothly without any obstacles. Clearly, he no longer dropped his tears now.

Meanwhile, Jaka who heard what Meta said just now immediately put on an increasingly guilty face. He knew what the words Meta had just said were. Therefore, he felt even more unwell now.

"What ... if I marry you both at once? Can't a man have more than one wife?"

Suddenly, the speech that Jaka spoke with a calm face without any guilt made Meta and Nika both put on shocked faces. The two of them were very surprised by what Jaka had just told them.

"What's!? Kak Jaka (Mas Jaka) wants to marry us both at once!?" The two spoke in unison while showing a face that was really in disbelief with what Jaka said just now.

"Huh, ha ha .... Jaka Kak is becoming greedy now. You're not enough to make me tormented by a long wait yesterday? Now, you want to tie me up with a senseless marriage, brother? One husband two wives. You think it's easy to live? There will be a wounded heart. No matter how you try to be fair, no one will feel satisfied." Meta speaks at length with a firm tone.

After the words were finished he said, Meta immediately released a sigh of relief. "We are not meant to be together, Brother Jaka."

Then, Meta immediately left Jaka and Nika. Meanwhile, Nika looked quite uncomfortable with what had just happened. Besides the words of Jaka who was ready to marry them both, the willing attitude that Meta showed was extraordinary. He alone would not be able to do that.

"Mas Jaka .... I .... "

"The decision's been taken, Nik. I will marry you soon. Now, come with me to meet Meta's parents. I'll explain everything to Meta's parents this afternoon."

"But ... Mas Jaka's. I .... "

"Junika, you brought a will from your parents, didn't you? So, that reason was enough for me to cancel my marriage to Meta. Now, you want to help me or not?"

Nika only fell silent with eyes that stared fixedly at Jaka. Actually, there was an increasingly uncomfortable feeling in Nika's heart at this moment. About Jaka who is actually either in love or not with him. Then, the matter of Jaka who is so easy to break the relationship between himself and Meta.

Really, Jaka doesn't seem like the right guy for her to make a husband. Not the same as what he had imagined before. When Jaka was still living with him at that time, Jaka felt very sweet as a man. So, he expressed his heart to his father when he was alive.

Then, when the father wanted to go for ever, the father immediately delivered the will. Witnessing some villagers who happened to be in their residence, the father wrote the will with his own hands.

And now, the Jaka he expected was really not the same as before. What about the will that his father gave if he wanted to cancel the intention to marry Jaka at this time?
