My Husband's a Wasted Child

A heavy decision

Not felt, time was so fast. In the morning, Afna was still sitting in front of the mirror. Staring at him with his own face, Afna still did not expect if he would soon get married.

"Are I really getting married? I feel like this is all a dream." His grunt while looking at his reflection in the mirror.

Not long after, Afna was bored in the room. Want to go the way out to eliminate the fatigue felt by Afna.

"Good morning, Miss?" greet Vella and smile floating.

"Good morning too, Vella."

"Is the lady ready?" ask Vella with a little smile.

"Ready? where are you going?" ask Afna back in curiosity.

"Today Miss is going to do some treatment, isn't tomorrow Miss's wedding day?" the answer.

"I don't want to do any treatment, for what." Afna's words suddenly turned into ketus, somehow Afna's attitude began to change when it came to marriage.

"To look beautiful and comfortable while doing sacred speech." Vella replied convincingly.

"I don't need any of that, whether it's pretty or not I'm still a disabled woman." He said with a annoyed look.

"Darling.... What's wrong, son?" asked the mother who arrived to surprise her daughter. Afna was still reflecting with her vexed look.

"Nothing, ma. Afna was alone, Afna didn't want to be disturbed." He answered by showing his face that looked glum.

"Then, excuse me madam.. Miss. forgive me for making the atmosphere uncomfortable." Vella said a little unkindly.

"It's okay, Vella. Maybe today is cloudy, you can go out for a while. Let Afna be with me, you don't have to feel bad. Youunderstand?" replied madam Nessa gesturing.

"Okay, Madam." Vella said while nodding.

Vella immediately came out of Afna's room, while Afna herself was still silent in front of the mirror. The mother felt sad, on her happy day should begin with tears.

Afna really did not expect, the marriage that should be with Seyn should be canceled. Afna was really disappointed and hurt by Seyn's vision. Plus having to marry the sister he never knew, it felt like refusing and better to endure the shame. But Afna had no power to scratch the wound in the father's heart. Whatever the choice of her parents, Afna still accepted it. Although the reality is very hard to accept.

The mother approached her daughter to calm the bad thoughts that were haunting her daughter.

"Afna, how was your morning today?" ask the mother gently.

"Just like you already have, Ma. Is tomorrow really Afna's wedding day?" answer and ask back.

"Yes, honey. Tomorrow is your wedding day, and you should be happy. Why are you sad?" replied the mother trying to encourage her daughter.

"Name says, Afna should be happy on Afna's wedding day. Happy from where, ma? there is no happiness! and all is lost." Say Afna with unbecoming and mixed feelings.

"Why are you talking like that, have you forgotten the fate of your mother first. Even mama does not know what kind of figure about your papa. It could be a bad assumption mama, that your papa has a bad nature because it has everything. But it turns out that it's wrong, papa you're so perfect in your eyes."

"Lantas, does the wedding need to be canceled?" ask the mother who arrived became lethargic.

"As for mom and dad, asking will never be granted." His speech that arrived turned into a ketus, and the mother was confused with the attitude of Afna who arrived suddenly wavering just like that.

"What's up, ma? what's with Afna." Ask the father surprisingly.

"It's nothing, pa.." replied Nessa a little worriedly. Mr. Tirta also felt suspicious of his wife who looked like she was hiding something.

"Afna, today you will do treatment and therapy. Are you ready?" said the father and asked.

"No!" answer's short. The father was stunned to hear the answer from his daughter in complete disbelief.

"What do you mean, Afna?" the question is still not understood.

"Afna wants her marriage annulled." Answer it lightly.

"What's? canceled? no, Afna. Papa can't possibly cancel your wedding, tomorrow is your wedding day."

"But Afna did not know him, even greeting each other never. Even his face I don't recognize him, any grudges with papa's past. Who don't know each other, do they?" afna answered heavily to catch her breath.

"Well, you will meet him today. Papa will ask him to come here, so that you no longer think. Would you like to? if she is, I'll call your future husband."

"No! Afna doesn't want to know him."

"You said you didn't know him, why did you refuse to meet him."

"Whatever papa." The answer was short and sad.

The father immediately crouched down in front of his daughter and tried to comfort his daughter, so as not to be too heavy to think about her current state.

"Afna, daughter. Many times I apologize with you, and I admit my mistakes against you. If it is hard for you to accept Zayen as your husband, papa will not force you. Now papa's resigned to your decision. Papa doesn't want to be selfish, papa doesn't want to add to the hurt in your heart. Tell me, what do you want. Papa no longer suppresses your feelings. As long as you haven't gone any further, you can still make your choice." Say the father as softly as possible, so that his daughter is not easy for emotions.

Afna was still downcast and thinking of giving an answer to her father. It felt so heavy, and the father was resigned to the decision from him. What has become the decision of Afna is already the risk of Afna itself.

Afna raised her head, Afna took a slow breath. Trying to calm his mind and also dispose of the anxiety and fear of course.

"Papa.." he said softly.

"Say, what's wrong?" asked the father while looking at his daughter's face fixedly. While the mother was still sitting on the bed, and not far from Afna.

"Nat.... Afna. Afna wants to marry Zayen, it's Afna's decision." The answer is as good as possible, even though it sounds a little forced. However, the father still accepted the decision from his daughter. Despite the fact that Afna still has a heavy feeling to say yes.

"You're sure, your answer is your absolute decision. Papa doesn't want it after you say yes, tomorrow you reject it. You better be honest, pity your husband later. If it turns out you're just playing with your wedding."

"No pa, this answer is the last and will not falter. That Afna is ready to marry Zayen.
