Episode 4

Ratmi did not want to be called selling himself. He just felt that he had to take the opportunity. He gives what Juragan Damar wants from him and Juragan Damar gives what he wants. Everything is in order. It's called A DEAL.

“Already, do not be hypocritical and do not say that you regret doing all this,” said Juragan Damar.

“I have no regrets. As long as I can get what I want.. whatever I will do,” replied Ratmi with full ambition to be rich.

Juragan Damar smiled with satisfaction. He finally got everything he wanted. In his right hand was Sarifah who could give him money and wealth. Whereas in his left hand, he could hold Ratmi as someone he loved very much. Whatever the way and whatever they call it for their relationship, Juragan Damar does not care. The important thing is that he can get Ratmi in his arms. Because, just as money whose existence can not be replaced by anything, Ratmi also can not be replaced by anyone. That is what is called true love.

“You'll spend the night at Juragan Damar's house?” hasan shouted, angry. He began to feel that his wife had done something wrong.

“Muragan Damar's wife is sick. So I must always be there if at any time the woman needs something,” replied Ratmi berkelit.

“Why the hell, mas always suspicious of me? Can't believe I'm just in love with you? What do you want me to do to believe???” ratmi denied angry back.

Actually Hasan is still upset. He wants Ratmi to admit that he has done something bad with Juragan Damar. But he doesn't know how. He also does not want this to further worsen his relationship with Ratmi who lately has begun to often occur bickering about many things. Starting from household needs that are always lacking to the question of Hasan's suspicions about his wife and Juragan Damar. Hasan could only take a deep breath and refrain from getting angry and making matters worse.

A few months later Ratmi was actually pregnant. Hasan was not sure if it was his son. Although there is no evidence, the suspicion is very strong that the child contained by Ratmi is the son of Juragan Damar. The more days they fought more and more because Hasan continued to urge Ratmi to admit whose child was in the womb.

“Mas want to know the truth?” ratmi asked in an angry tone. “Well, this is indeed the son of Juragan Damar,” continued Ratmi who finally dared to come clean. “But what can we do? Do you want to get angry? Want to demand justice? Or want to report to the villagers that the wife has done serong with other men?” challenge Ratmi. “Remember mas, Juragan Damar is in power. If the mas of sorts, it could be that the mas were expelled from this village or the business of selling goldfish in the market, destroyed by the people of the Damar Juragan. So it's better to be quiet and don't act much,”

“You must betray me, when I have truly loved you and done anything to make you happy,” Hasan was very angry.

“But I'm not happy mas. What can be expected from a salty fish seller who is all mediocre?”

“You changed...”.

Seriate...
