Love Stories Overseas

Chapter 33

This morning Dila continued to curl up in her room, Dila actually heard the sound of El waking up and calling her name asking to be made milk.

But Indra who came to El's room and told Bi Darsih to make El a glass of milk. Indra also told El and told all the residents of the house, if Dila was sick, and had to rest completely.

Upon learning about it, Darsih and Ana went straight to Dila's room and saw Dila's very pale state and hot body. Dila tightly closed his body with a blanket until leaving his head alone visible.

" Your last night was fine, when we were playing with the snakes and ladders, why did you suddenly have a fever and pale this morning. Are you tired of taking care of El because you have to stay up last night?". bi Ana massages Dila's forehead which is very hot.

Actually Dila fever and her nose stuck because it continued to be under the shower for two hours while crying, he said, but precisely the circumstances make bi Ana and bi Darsih believe in Indra's speech if Dila is sick.

" Let me ask Mr. Indra to help you go to the doctor, Dil, I'm afraid you're getting worse".

Dila shook her head, "no need to Bi Darsih, I just need to rest, I had taken medicine. Please don't let El in here, I'm afraid he's infected, put El first ya Bi.", said Dila in a hoarse voice.

Of course Dila's voice was hoarse, last night she kept shouting for help many times, but no one heard her scream, it was really sad.

Bi Darsih went out for a while and returned to Dila's room with a bowl of warm chicken soup, white rice and a glass of chocolate milk.

" Breakfast first Dil, let the spit healthy and recover again".

Dila nodded, "thank you Bi, bi Ana and Bi Darsih just come out, you guys will have a lot of work, continue your work, later I can eat by myself, wait for the soup is a bit cold", said Dila.

Actually it was just Dila's reason for bi Darsih and bi Ana to come out of her room. It was impossible for Dila to open her blanket and sit down together with the others, when her neck was filled with the red stamp of Indra's actions last night.

Dila was still curled up on the mattress while staring at the wall blankly, her mind wandering everywhere. Wanting to leave the house, so as not to meet again with Indra, the man who was originally feared Dila, now increased status, besides fearing that Dila also became hateful and disgusted just to hear his voice, just to hear his voice, especially if you have to look at the person, Innate Dila is directly emotional.

But on the other hand, Dila has promised Bu Fatma will look after El as long as Bu Fatma is in Malaysia. Dila is also worried about El's situation if she has to leave this house, is it possible that El will find a good babysitter change later?. Dila really felt a dilemma.

The wall clock moved slowly as Dila had to sleep in the room without doing anything. Dila ate the rice and soup that was brought bi Darsih earlier, and also drank chocolate milk that was now cold.

Dila was very eager to get out of her room, but some parts of her body were still sore and painful.

" Have you eaten?".

Suddenly Indra entered Dila's room without knocking on the door first, and again closed the door.

Dila immediately threw his face, reluctant to look at the person he hated the most.

But Indra remained sitting next to Dila, and tried to speak kindly to Dila.

" I've called Mom, and told her all the mistakes I made with you last night. Mom was really angry and told me to marry you as soon as possible. Do you want to marry me, Dil?"

" On your parents, let me tell my men to pick them up here".

Dila clenched her teeth restraining the anger that was about to explode.

" There was a young man waiting for me in the village, he promised to marry me after college, so I'm sorry I don't want to marry you. I know you don't love me, and vice versa, I don't want to marry without love" said Dila deliberately with a formal language style, so it seems there is no closeness between the two of them.

Dila's answer made Indra laugh cynically, "do you also love that young man?, which I heard from your story all along, all men only you consider friends, all men only you consider friends, because you are not sure about your feelings".

" Wedding based on love you say?. Do you think that the young man who is waiting for you will still love you and accept that you are no longer a virgin?".

Indra's question reminded her of Kunto at that time, when she asked the same question as Indra asked earlier. And Kunto, is it possible that she still wants to wait for Dila who is no longer what she used to be, and what if Dila is also pregnant like Sarah's ex-boyfriend. For sure Kunto will feel the same pain a second time.

As for Nino, he was a good man, so did Dila have the heart to lie to him, and if Dila told him the true circumstances, would Nino still be willing to accept Dila?.

Dila nodded her forehead which felt increasingly dizzy. True enough Indra's speech, Dila's condition is now not like before. Everything changed just overnight.

" Well, I have to marry Mr. Indra, at least after marriage I can ask for divorce, with the status of a widow, at least I do not lie to any man who will marry me, it is better. Than I was unmarried, but on the first night it was no longer sealed", said Dila in his heart, continuing to consider the good of the bad.

But getting married at a young age, only 17 years old, it had never crossed Dila's mind before. His ambition to become a teacher as well as a successful entrepreneur has been imprinted in his heart. And Dila hopes to realize his ideals.

" I've been in good faith and take responsibility for getting you married, if you still refuse, it's purely your wish. So don't blame me later on". Indra stood up and was about to get out of Dila's room, but Dila's words stopped him.

" But if it turns out that I'm pregnant because of last night, then you can free me after the child from my stomach is born".

Indra snorted annoyedly at Dila's remark, "Why is it as if you want to marry me for being forced to?, do you realize you are just a country girl whose face is mediocre, there are even tompels on your cheeks, you know, you know, you're just a village girl with a little face, you've got a little bit of water on your cheek, do you think you are so beautiful and so many men adore you?, it's still a good thing I want to take responsibility for my actions, even you pretentiously apply the conditions !".

" Are you going to reject this marriage if I don't comply with the conditions you've applied for?".

" Partially who would touch a country girl like you again, if not for the hangover and stimulant drugs that Tania had put secretly into my drink, I wouldn't have even touched you!".

Indra came out of Dila's room with an upset heart. For Indra, Dila is a village girl who does not know thank you, it is fortunate that Indra is a handsome CEO and has a treasure, wants to marry him who is just a village girl with a mediocre face, and, even a little geeky with tompets and thick glasses that he always wears.

" The village girl even stated that she agreed to marry by filing these terms were all kinds. Who does he think he is?", Indra's mind was upset.

A week has passed since the incident, Dila has felt better and can do activities as usual.

It was a Saturday when Indra was off from her job at the office. Indra had sent his men to Dila village and delivered a message that Indra had written in a letter to Dila's parents.

Toto and Siti are ready to come to Jakarta with Indra's men. Dila's parents who had been working at PT/factory so far Dila was disappointed when she found out that her daughter was lying.

During the 7-hour drive, Toto and Siti felt so emotional and disappointed with the attitude of her eldest daughter. How can Dila secretly become a babysitter without anyone's knowledge.

Arriving in Jakarta and entering an elite housing complex, Toto began to worry about the difference in status with men who want to marry Dila.

Toto and Siti arrived shortly after Ms. Fatma and Mr. Rizal arrived. They also took the time to fly from Malaysia to Indonesia, because the marriage of his son is something important, although suddenly due to a mistake.

Two families gathered together into one in the living room, Indra could see Dila was very scared and felt guilty to both parents, he said, to the extent that they do not dare to look at the faces of fathers and mothers who have not met for 6 months.

" Well as the person in charge with this sudden meeting, I'll start talking. First of all introduce my name Indra Pambudi, the son of Rizal Pambudi, this is my father, and next to Fatma's mother, she is the mother who gave birth to me". Indra introduced her parents one by one.

" And this is my real son El Irsyad Pambudi, he was the son Dila took care of for 6 months". Indra also tells how El's attitude before and after Dila's presence in his life.

" El wants Dila to be her mother, and El's happiness is the most important thing in my life. But not because of that I want to invite the father's daughter, because I also fell in love with Dila", Indra's remarks made Dila shocked.

Apparently Indra did not say anything about the incident that night, Indra tried to cover up their mistakes both. And even lied to Dila's parents, saying that she loved Dila. What a stunning act. It's good to be a professional actor, Dila thought.

Ms. Fatma tried to be friendly to both of Dila's parents. " Please taste the treat, sorry only potluck", said Ms. Fatma was so humble. How does he say 'sober treats', if the table with a large size that contains full of food and drinks are diverse.

" I'm sorry if this wedding plan seems so sudden, actually my son Indra is a company leader, and is always busy with his work, he said, while I myself now live in Malaysia accompanied Indra's sister who had just given birth three days ago. This we both try to be able to return to Jakarta today as well, in order to meet his father and mother Dila in person, to ask for blessing for their marriage".

" If there must be a party in the village, it can be discussed later, now the most important thing is, they both get married first, so that we all feel calm together".

The words of Ms. Fatma are true, especially Dila and Indra live under the same roof. As parents on the part of women, this situation is very risky and troubling.

" Thank you for the good faith that Indra and my father have done. I as a parent cannot make a decision, because it concerns the life of our daughter in the future, so we leave the absolute decision to Dila".

Toto found it strange to see Dila in thick glasses and there was a black stain on her cheek, since when was Dila minus that much?, and what was the stain on her daughter's cheek?.

So many questions are coming to Toto and Siti's mind right now.

" So how's Dila Boy?, would Dila want to be El's mother, the son that Dila loves so much?".

Now all eyes were on Dila who was still bowing her head. And one heartwarming event suddenly happened. El appears from inside the house while carrying a very beautiful bouquet of flowers.

" Sister Dila... will you be El's mother?", asked El with hopeful eyes.

Not only was Dila shocked and moved, but Indra, Fatma and Rizal felt the same way. There has never been a scenario involving El at a family gathering today. Did El take the initiative himself?
