Marriage Dilemma

Truth

I went straight out of the room to see someone Rama said was looking for me.

"How are you doing Ra?" Greet someone when they see me approaching him.

The tall, white man with a sharp nose and narrow eyes smiled at me.

I returned his smile.

"I'm good, how are you Van?" The man named Devan nodded.

"I'm good."

Devan was the man I was going to be betrothed to before I decided on my own choice to marry Bang Angga back then.

I asked Devan to enter the house, not to forget his arrival was also welcomed by my Mama.

"Bi, please make a drink for Dira's friend!" I told Bi Jum.

"Ready Non," he replied respectfully, I could only shake my head at Bi Jum's exaggerated behavior.

It only took me 5 minutes, the drink I asked for came.

"Please drink to Devan!" Bi Jum let Devan drink what has been served.

Devan nodded with a faint smile, "Thank you Bi Jum."

Little wonder, why does Devan know Bi Jum? While what he always memorized was Bi Nani who had long stopped working.

"Son Devan is often here Non, even almost every week Nak Devan always visits," said Bi Jum who apparently understood with my astonished gaze.

"Yes Ra. During this time Devan who always accompanied Mama besides Bi Jum. He always strengthens Mama not to fall continuously remembering your Papa, and also you. Devan always tells Mama to be patient with the miracle of God, and after this incident, Mama believes that God has indeed lowered her magic by bringing you back to this house," said Mama and I nodded then turned to stare at Devan intensely.

"Thank you Van, I'm very, very grateful to you for taking care of my Mama all this time,"

"Son Papa Ra, I'm sincere."

In the past, Devan and I were quite close, not only did my mother intend to match me with him, but the other friends also had similar thoughts. At that time, Devan and I were just friends, nothing more.

But in reality it's just bullshit! Given how bang Angga, I think this is the best path for my life as well as Rama, and the child I am carrying. Separate from him forever.

I chatted with Devan at length. Until I felt the time pass so fast. After exchanging mobile numbers, Devan decided to go home considering the time was getting late.

While in the hospital, Tika is crying because she lost her baby.

"Please Tika, this may be the best way. Believe me, God must have determined a better life for you, " Linda hugged the child.

One week passed, Tika's current condition was much better. As Linda and Angga had planned earlier, they were going to find out who the man who had impregnated Tika was.

"Mama want to ask you Tik, answer honestly do not have anything you cover up from us. You don't have to be afraid, son, there is an old man and Mama who protect you" Linda said.

That Mother? Ck, there's nothing to expect from her mother. And now what's happening? Because of the upbringing of her grandmother Tika became a free child. But it is undeniable that it is also Linda's fault that too abandoned the child and entrusted it to her mother.

Tika is seen crying when urged by Linda to say who the man who has been insolent to her is.

His hands were sweaty, he was quite afraid that Mama and Pakdenya would get angry or even beat him to death.

"Jawab Tika, there is no need to fear, there is an agreement," added Bang Angga assured his nephew.

"Dear, you don't have to be afraid, son. Mama will not be angry, Mama just have to know who is the very brash man, the lecherous man who has impregnated Mama's daughter," Linda tried desperately to convince Tika to be honest.

"Ilham Leader!"
