Slowly Bianca left the living room after seeing Sella already sitting between Mama Hana and the woman earlier. His fingers squeezed each other to relieve his nervousness.
“Introduce the name of aunt Hani, similar to your mother only one letter behind her.” The woman who had introduced herself grabbed the cold-tasting Sella fingers.
“This aunty husband his name is Om Rizal.” The man called by the name of Om Rizal extended his hand to Sella with a smile.
“How are you Marsella ?” Sapa Om Rizal's.
Bianca raised her face nervously and tried to smile.
“Good news, Om.”
“If that one,” Aunt Hani pointed to the figure of the man sitting next to Om Rizal.
His position does not change still down busy himself with mobile phones.
“It's like aunty doesn't need to mention her name anymore. You must have known him well.”
Om Rizal patted his son's thigh and gave the code to stop his activities.
The man raised his head and turned to Om Rizal who again gave the code to say hello to Sella.
Sella directly lowered her head back when she got a sharp glare from the man sitting opposite her.
Both of their parents even Desta let the atmosphere suddenly quiet.
Finally after waiting for not a single word to come out of Sella's mouth or the guy in front of her, Aunt Hani tightened her grip and started talking.
“I mean the arrival of om and aunt here to propose to Sella as our daughter-in-law. Sella wants to be Andre's wife?”
Deg.
Sella's heart felt stopped for a while and then again beat fast. He turned his head to look at the smiling Aunt Hani warmly to reassure his hearing.
“Tante and mama you've been best friends since Junior High. We met again at a reunion a few years ago. Then suddenly came the idea to try to match the children.”
Sella blinked her eyes and then looked back down. Worry enveloped his heart. What would their parents say if Andre told them that Sella had set him up.
“Papa you and om do not agree with the plan because it does not want to curb the freedom of children.” Om Rizal explained.
“But it seems like our children are indeed matchmaking, Zal.” Papa Ardi responded with a laugh.
“I don't want !” Sella's voice that was loud enough to make everyone there surprised, even Andre to look up and look at Sella.
Sella has already gathered her strength. He returned Andre's gaze with no less sharpness.
“I did not accept this matchmaking.” Sella is back. “I want to marry a man who loves me too and accepts me as is.”
“Can't Sella !” Papa Ardi opened his voice in a high tone. “You can't refuse your marriage to Andre.”
Mama Hana tries to calm papa Ardi by rubbing her hand.
Aunt Hani stroked Sella's back making the girl stare back at the face next to her that remained calm with her shady smile.
“Let Andre take responsibility for the child in your womb, yes.”
Jeedeeerrr
Sella immediately swerved. How can Mami Hani know that the child in her womb is Andre's child ?
“Om and Aunty have agreed with your father and mother's request that you marry each other. It's a young age, but this child,” mami Hani stroked Sella's stomach. “This child needs the presence of his papa too right ?”
“But Aunt...” Sella does not forward her sentence.
“You know why we keep sending you to old school even though your transfer business is done ?” Mama Hana stroked Sella's back.
“Because mom and mom Hani agreed to give you and Andre a chance. Thank you guys for being a match, but we don't want to dictate.” Mama Hana.
“We will help you learn to be a parent even though you are young,” Om Rizal also open voice.
“And you can still continue your school to college. It's just that it must be smarter for time because there are couples and children who also need attention.” Papa Ardi's timpal.
Sella lowered her head again and several times glanced at Andre who looked annoyed and stupid.
Sella took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to regain her courage.
“Andre no need to marry me, Om, Aunt,” Sella looks at Mami Hani and papi Rizal alternately.
“This pregnancy is the result of my own actions that have trapped and want to make Andre bound to me. I'm sorry for everything. At first I feel stressed so know that I got pregnant, but after undergoing treatment, I make sure that I do not regret and will not throw this fetus.”
Sella paused for a moment and tried to catch her breath again.
“And I no longer expect anything from a son Om and Auntie. I will raise this child myself.” Sella's words sounded full of confidence.
From the end of the sofa, Desta who had been a listener since, pulled both corners of her lips. There is a sense of pride in his heart when he saw Sella was not slumped but more and more adults face the problems of his life, even being a very responsible woman.
“Cannot !” Reject papi Rizal. “Om doesn't teach Andre to run from responsibility. Although Andre did it unconsciously, yet the fetus was a part of him. His flesh and our future grandson.” Strictly papi Rizal.
He looked at his son who had chosen to be quiet from the start. He patted his son's thigh again while giving the code.
“Speak boy !” Pinta papi Rizal's.
“Sorry before Om, I really don't need Andre's accountability. I sincerely raised this child myself.”
Sella wakes up. He was sad when he found out that both Sella and Andre's parents gave their blessing to unite while Andre hated him so much. Sella is convinced that Andre will hate her even more for having to marry her.
“I'm sorry excuse me to go back,” Sella stepped past mami Hani and rushed inside.
Mama Hana was ready to wake up but was detained by Hani's mother who again shook her head to give a code to let Sella.
Unexpectedly, Andre wakes up from the sofa and chases after Sella before disappearing from the living room.
“No one can replace me as his papi. Only I'm the only papi boy who's in elo's stomach because he's my son too.”
Andre's fierce and cold-sounding speech made Sella fixated while one of his arms was still held by Andre.
“What do you mean ?” Sella looked at Andre. Unable to be held back, a circle of tears trickled down his cheek.
Sella stomps her hand violently until Andre's grip comes off.
“Make what ? I knew that from High School you hated me and never thought I existed. Even you slapped me so I could be conscious. Still want it, right?”
Sella advanced her body and returned Andre's gaze with anger.
“Gue does not want to live as a husband and wife with people who hate me !”
Sella rushed in. He already wanted to return to the room, but arrived at Bianca's living room holding him back. He took Sella into his arms and rubbed the girl's back lovingly. Sella's still sobbing.
Bianca breaks her embrace and takes Sella to the backyard. Both of them sat on the chairs on the terrace.
Bianca said nothing just once in a while rubbing Sella's back.
“Eat first yes, do not get too swept away in grief like this. Remember there are debays that need your attention. You're a strong mommy candidate right ?”
Finally, Sella wants to also be invited to lunch with Andre's family. Bianca was also there as part of the family. During lunch no one mentioned Sella or Andre. Both parents are busy exchanging stories about their youth. Desta only spoke once.
Bianca smiled as her eyes caught on several times both Andre and Sella stole a glance at each other. The gazes of the two met, and subconsciously the red hue on their faces was instantly visible.
After lunch, Andre asked for time to talk to Sella in the back garden. Bianca reassured me that all problems must be faced instead of being left behind.
Sella chose to invite Andre to sit in the gazebo near the fish pond so that it was a bit far from the parents who continued the chat in the family room.
The two were silent to each other, until finally Sella ventured to ask something that disturbed her mind.
“What papa I threatened elo until elo admitted that this baby boy elo?”
“Not at all.” Answer Andre flat.
“Keep how can they know ? I never want to say anything myself.”
“Elo forgot that papa elo is a good lawyer ? All problems will definitely be sought the actual answer.”
“Keep they're on to know that I'm the same elo ?” Sella's tone sounded more emotional.
Andre took out a fold of paper from his shirt bag and gave it to Sella.
“This apaan ?”
“See by yourself.”
Bianca opened the paper. His gaze immediately widened as he read the writing inside.
“When do I do a fetal DNA test ?” Sella frowning.
“See the dates there. There is a writing when you do the test.”
Sella read the date. Recalling what he did at that time. Sella recalled that on the date listed, Mama Hana took her to the hospital not only to control pregnancy but also run tests. Mama Hana didn't tell Sella that she had a DNA test on her fetus.
“Not to worry, Ndre. Although our parents can prove that this is our son, but I.”.
“I love you,” cut Andre and then kiss Sella's cheek.
Sella just gaping did not expect Andre would say love even to the point of kissing her.
Andre wagging his hands in front of Sella's face made the girl flinch and blush in embarrassment.
“Do not carelessly say love.”
“I am not careless,” replied Andre.
“I ?” Sella looked at Andre in disbelief.
“I've liked you since 9th grade, and I'm jealous to see you getting more familiar with Dion even to the point of transferring schools so that you can go to school with Dion.”
“Hey, I never had any feelings for Dion and the reason for my move is precisely because you are increasingly ignoring me.” Sella protests with a pouting face.
Andre laughed and stroked Sella's cheeks making the girl blush again and blush her face.
“Sorry because I slapped you. My jealousy made Gita easily change my view of you. Moreover, Gita is your best friend, so I believe what she told me must be more true.”
“Indeed Gita instigated you with which story ?”
“Not important and already passed. What matters now is your health and that of our children. Let's get married.” Andre grabbed Sella's fingers.
“You didn't have to accept this wedding ?”
“Ngak. When we did it for the first time, I was surprised to find blood on my bed. Turns out you're not who Gita told you.”
“So Gita says I'm a bad girl and likes to change partners?” Sella smiled bitterly.
“I've never really dated but close to a lot of guys. I prefer to be friends with guys maybe because I am used to being treated by Kak Desta and papa who spoil me a lot. In my mind, the attention of a guy will definitely bring more calm than a girl. that's also because I can't get close to mama.”
“I'm happy to be the first man who can have you whole even in the wrong way. But unfortunately I didn't have the courage to talk directly to you. Moreover, Gita still tries to keep you away from me even though we are no longer dating status.”
“Am I also the first for you ?” Sella looked at Andre deeply to find honesty there.
“You think I'll be the same Gita ?” Andre chuckles. “Some times he did tease me when he went to our friends' 17th birthday party. But I'm not that kind of a model guy. Moreover, I realize that I am the only child papi and mami who have responsibility for my parents' good name.”
Sella is embarrassed. There was happiness in his heart. Sella is really grateful that her decision to defend this fetus instead makes Andre her. Their child-to-be becomes the unifier of their love.
“You are married to me ?” Andre lifted Bianca's chin and looked at her lovingly. Bianca nodded shyly.
“Thank you Cell. Thank you for keeping our son.”
Sella nodded and let Andre kiss her forehead.
From the living room, the parents smiled happily when they saw Andre kissing Sella's forehead long enough.
“Finally we are besanan as well, Na.” Mami Hani grabs Mama Hana's fingers.
“Iya, do not expect yes if our children are indeed in love without having to be fooled”
Papa Ardi and Papi Rizal also smiled happily to see their children receiving each other and beranggungawab.
