Not Just a Status

15. Do You Agree?

Agung sighed heavily many times, looking at his only son with a disappointed look. Already two months ago Agung said that Mandala will be betrothed to his best friend's child, therefore Agung told Mandala to decide on her lover, Sheila. Mandala did decide her lover, but unexpectedly even impregnated a girl.

For a few minutes, the three people were silent. Agung and Prameswari seem to be trying to lower their emotions. The mandala can remain silent. After feeling somewhat calm, Agung also started the conversation.

"Don't you remember what you said two months ago?"tanya Agung stared fixedly at his son's face.

"I remember, pa,"sahut Mandala.

"If you remember, why did you impregnate a girl?"tanya Agung with a furious face. As for Kahyang who was about to return into his room, reflex stopped in front of the Great workspace upon hearing the words of Agung. When he came out of the room earlier, it turned out that Kahyang did not close the door tightly, so Kahyang could hear the conversation of Mandala and his parents from outside.

"Papa told you. Papa's best friend wants to marry their daughter to you. Our family owes them a favor, man. If it wasn't for them, maybe we'd already been living on the streets.They injected funds in our company when our company almost went out of business due to a fire. What's more, don't you remember? You can see the world because they donated their son's eyes to you. So great is their service to us. And all this time they never asked for anything from us. They just asked you to marry their daughter. Is it too heavy for you?"tanya Agung tried to calm down, lowering his emotions.

"I remember all their thoughts on us, pa. I don't mind getting married to their daughter. About what happened to me and Kahyang, I'm really sorry! I'm khilaf," said Mandala bowed with regret.

"How about Kahyang?"asked Prameswari who had been silent.

"Mandala will still marry the girl. But secretly. Enough of us who know, let no one know if Mandala married the girl," said Agung again sighed heavily. While Mandala can only resign, accept whatever decision will be taken by both parents.

"What does papa mean? Papa wants Kahyang to be the wife of Mandala siri? Didn't you hear back in the kitchen? Kahyang refused firmly to marry Siri to Mandala. We also have a daughter, Pa. What if our daughter is treated like that? Did you accept?"prameswari protest.

As a fellow woman, Prameswari also did not want to be made a wife siri. Prameswari also did not accept if his daughter was treated like that. Moreover, the mistake was not on Kahyang, but purely Mandala's fault.

"It just so happened that they told papa to postpone the wedding for about another year, until their daughter graduated college. So, Mandala can legally marry the girl in the eyes of the law. But only for one year. After that, they have to get divorced" explains Agung.

"Do you think it's fair to Kahyang?"asked Prameswari, who felt the decision was detrimental to Kahyang. While Kahyang who was outside the room, now became understanding. The reason Mandala was not willing to give her the status of a legitimate wife in the eyes of law.

"Then what should we do, ma? Papa's friend has done too much for our family. Marrying a Mandala to their daughter is the only way to return their favor. Nor will we relinquish responsibility to the girl and the baby in her womb. We will continue to finance their lives, and will not let them lack anything. But we can't make that girl our daughter-in-law forever" said the Great.

"Papa's right. We have no other choice, "that Prameswari looked down helplessly. This decision is very difficult. But they have no other choice. Although this decision is very detrimental and will hurt Kahyang, but they cannot ignore the requests of people who have contributed greatly to their families.

"How, Man? Do you have any other options to solve this problem you created?'ask the Supreme to Mandala, sounding cold.

"No, pa. I will accept whatever the decision of papa and mama, "sahut Mandala resigned.

"Good then," said the Great.

"But, pa. Is that right, they moved to this town?"ask Prameswari.

"Yes. They're moving their parent company to this city to get closer to us. Therefore, we have not been able to meet them, because they are still busy taking care of their company's move to this city" explained Agung.

"After their son died, I had never met them. I just found out if they have a daughter," said Prameswari.

"Wouldn't it be that when their son died, their son was five years old, just like Mandala? Then, their daughter is now twenty years old, huh pa?"ask Prameswari.

"Yes, ma. Well, we better get some sleep now. Remember, Man, don't do anything anymore!"Great commemorating Mandala.

"Yes, pa. I get it,"sahut Mandala.

Kahyang from earlier heard the conversation of the three people finally rushed away when the three people ended their conversation. Kahyang rushed back to his room.

Mandala lay her body on the bed staring at the ceiling of her room. Several times he seemed to breathe heavily.

"I feel guilty for that girl. I really can't control my body if I see that girl. I also do not understand why it could be like that," muttered Mandala again sighing heavily,"Kahyang. Beautiful name," muttered Mandala, unwittingly, both corners of her lips pulled upwards. Slowly Mandala rubbed her own lips, remembering the moment she kissed Kahyang. For Mandala, the girl's lips are so seductive.

Since meeting Kahyang, Mandala always remembered the girl. Without realizing it, Sheila's position in his heart was slowly shifted by Kahyang. So easily Mandala decided Sheila who had long been courted and loved her. Because in his mind only imagined Kahyang. Upon realizing that she always thought of Kahyang, Mandala considered that it was all because of her guilt for Kahyang, for having taken away the girl's chastity. But is that really so?

The next day, as usual, Kahyang began his day by spewing out all his stomach contents without remaining. And every morning, Kahyang's body will feel weak because of the morning sickness he experienced. Kahyang had just come out of his room when an ART told him to have breakfast together.

Kahyang felt awkward at the dinner table there was also a Mandala there. The Mandala seems to be ordinary.

"You're so pale? Are you sick again?"prameswari asked as Kahyang had just sat down. The middle-aged woman looked worried for Kahyang.

"No, Tan. I'm doing fine. It's just, every day experiencing morning sickness. So if the morning feels weak," replied Kahyang honestly.

Prameswari let out a heavy sigh, staring pityfully at Kahyang, while Mandala also heaved a heavy sigh hearing Kahyang's words. Especially when staring at the pale face of Kahyang, Mandala felt more guilty. Wasn't as the father of the baby, Mandala should always be there for Kahyang at such times?.

After breakfast, Agung again invited them to his study to discuss the problem last night.

"Kahyang, in fact Mandala we have betrothed with a friend Om's son. Because we owe them. However, Mandala will still marry you legally in the eyes of the law. That is, later your status is the legal wife of Mandala. But.. Agung paused his words just to catch a breath that felt heavy, "You're only going to be married for a year. Don't worry, after the divorce, Mandala will still meet the needs of you and your child. Do you agree?"tanya Agung stared fixedly at Kahyang.
