As Zely predicted last night, he wouldn't be able to sleep in peace. Yes how to sleep if his brain is unceasingly thinking about the crazy marriage problems that will be faced in plain sight. Usually just thinking about college assignments, now have to think about the household. I can't imagine how hard life is like that.
Just look out the window like someone who is mentally disturbed. From the dark weather of the night, it is now bright because of the appearance of the morning sunlight. As if he did not intend to get out of bed, even life felt so lazy.
“Non Zely!”
The calls and knocking on her bedroom door broke the silence in the room. Though not expecting anyone to come let alone wake him, but his hope is not in accordance with reality.
“Starting a hard day,” lamented getting up from a sleeping position and walking towards the bedroom door. When the door opened, it seemed that Bik Anik was already standing up to welcome him with a bright smile. As bad as today, but not with his heart.
“What, Bik?”
“Non, really want to get married today?”
Zely leaned his back against the door leaf, as the question approached him. Thinking there is something important or what it is .. until Bik Anik wakes him up. It even talks about marriage.
Exhaling his heavy breath, as heavy as a burden inside his brain. “Bibik early in the morning to here just to name the unimportant thing?”
“Kok doesn't matter, anyway, Non? That should be happy news. It's marriage, loh, Non. A sign that Non Zely is really in the adult stage.”
“Yes, if the marriage is with my lover and my chosen man. Bibik did not know what kind of problem to make me forced to marry.”
Bik Anik looked confused when he said he was forced to get married. It feels like telling stories and sharing problems, but it doesn't seem like a safe thing. Afraid that her aunt will get angry as more and more people find out about the events she is experiencing.
“Non marriage is not the same men who are Non-loving?”
“Udahlah, Bik. Don't discuss it again. Oiya, Bik. Don't bother me for the next few hours, yeah. I'm dizzy from not sleeping all night and now want to rest.” Close the door of his room and return to the bed.
A few minutes passed, still his eyes could not sleep because his brain was wandering everywhere. Get back up and reach for his bag that is on the nightstand. Take something out of there. A small glass bottle with the contents of a medicine grain.
“Hopefully faint all at once,” murmur swallowed a few drops of medicine and gulped down some drinking water so that the small objects would soon enter his stomach.
Put the bottle on the nightstand and return to the sleeping position. At first it had no effect, but the trick minutes later when the medicinal effects worked, everything vanished from his sight in an instant.
Zely is in deep sleep, while Rafa from last night becomes the nagging and emotional material of her parents after recounting all those events. Even more so after knowing that she will marry Zely because she has to take responsibility.
“Mama's heart feels like it's going to be dislodged, son. It feels like you want to swallow you let go into the stomach of mama again.”
The middle-aged woman named Diana no longer knew where to vent her resentment and emotion about the actions that her only son had done. Usually a child of pride, now even make a very embarrassing act.
Rafa is also dizzy about all the accusations made by his parents, especially his mother. Though he has said many times that he was framed, but still think if he was wrong. Even if recorded from the beginning, it seems to have filled a single explanatory notebook.
“Pa, can say to mama no. I was framed. So please dong, do not position myself as the perpetrator in this incident.”
“You want Papa to help what, Raf? Help tell me that this is not your fault and not agree to the responsibility request of the girl's family?”
Though Rafa hopes there is a little defense from his father, it turns out wrong. More and more adored the existing scolding. Never mind, if this is how he can especially if he does not accept all that. Moreover, his mother, seeing him to tears because of disappointment has made him feel like a child who is disobedient.
“I'm really sorry, Ma. For whatever reason, I have no intention of doing anything that bad. It's up to you now whether you believe me or not. As a child, I've been honest with all my words.”
As a father, Malik trusted all his son's confessions. Just want to give in any way, still will not be able to resist the demands of the girl's family.
Malik also understands, the effect for a girl is certainly more severe than what is experienced by Rafa. Either way what kind of plot would welcome the life of his son up ahead, but now as a man, Rafa does still have to take responsibility.
Malik sat next to Diana, trying to calm the wife who kept crying because of Rafa's problem.
“Already, Ma ... don't cry constantly. Rafa is a man, he has to remember responsibility. If Mama is in the position of Mother of the girl, maybe your grief is much worse than this because the risk she bears is much heavier than our son.”
“Name Zelysta. His parents are gone. So, nurtured by his aunt from childhood. Now the one who demands me is the tantenya,” said Rafa.
Not intentionally finding out, but Rafa got this information directly from Bella. Last night the middle-aged woman contacted him and urged him to carry out a direct marriage today as well. Automatically he certainly asked the most important ins and outs of the Zely family. Yes, one of them is about her parents.
Diana suddenly felt a jolt in her heart when she heard Rafa's words about the girl's parents who would become her daughter-in-law.
“Rafa, this is marriage. Mama does not want if your life is destroyed because it has a partner who is not clear seedlings bebet and its weight. Whatever, want her a poor girl, a lower class, a graduate of Elementary School or whatever. What was clear to her family was clear. Now you're saying that her parents are gone. You are sure of all that info. Don't let him just ..”
“She's the daughter of the owner of the campus where I teach,” Rafa said.
“What?!”
Both Diana and Malik were shocked by what was revealed by Rafa.
“Do not joke, Raf.”
“Actually I did not find out because I felt it was also not important. I also don't care about who he is and .. My focus is only on responsibility. That'sthat's all. He was safe from people's talk about the incident. I'm just starting to focus on her last name she.”
“Campus owner is currently Bella and she is not married. Don't tell me this girl is the daughter of the late Ryan Baskara and Indira Jihan?”
“True,” replied Rafa justifying his papa's guess. “Because his aunt gave all that information to me, complete.”
Honestly, Malik until made shocked by everything said by Rafandra. It was not unusual for him when his own son turned out to be making trouble with the daughter of the Baskara family. Because in reality he knows the details of the family. So he was so determined that Rafa taught at the campus which incidentally belongs to the Baskara family.
