Not the Woman of My Husband's Choice

At the same TPU where Adelia's previous funeral was. The plan of Bu Mia's tomb is juxtaposed with Adelia's tomb, so that when visiting it is easier.

"We're finally back here again, ma'am." Said Niken and then sat down on the tomb of Bu Mia whose land was still wet because the body of her mother had just finished planting.

Mr. Joko lamented the terrible departure of his wife, no one knew Bu Mia could razor from where until he could slash his wrist until his veins were cut off.

It was ironic before her that Adelia also did the same at that time. And now even Ms. Mia with her shallow mind modeled the stupid actions of her favorite child.

"Bus ... May you be at peace in nature, I can only pray for you so that your spirit is received by His side and God forgives all your sins, Ma'am." Said Niken rubbing his mother's headstone.

"Amine ... " Everyone who came to the funeral accepted Niken's prayer.

Mr. Joko invited besan, his son and daughter-in-law to stop by his house. There are important things that he wants to say to them, especially Niken.

"You come to my house first, there's something I want to tell you, especially Niken." Said Mr. Joko.

They then went to Joko's.

Not long ago arrived at the residence of Mr. Joko.

Like an uninhabited house, there are many dead plants, dirty terrace floors, Niken is concerned about the condition of his parents' house.

Joko opened the door.

"Please go in and rest here." Mr. Joko told them to sit on his couch.

Gio and his parents sat down. While Niken followed his father's steps toward the kitchen, probably making him drink for his iron, Niken's distended stomach reduced his gaze to walk forward.

"Dad!" Call Niken to his father who will take the glass on the plate rack. Joko turned to Niken.

"What's wrong, why are you here, son?"

"Let me make drinks for them, Daddy just take a break with them."

"Miss. I'm not your real father, son. But why are you still so nice to me, Dad. I feel guilty for you." Said Mr. Joko aware of his mistake. Niken was moved to hear her and hugged Mr. Joko.

"I love you so much, even though you're not my biological parents, I still think you're my parents. If you hadn't picked me up that time, I wouldn't have lived to this day."

They both cried together. In the not-so-extensive kitchen, they continued to make drinks for Gio and his parents.

"Let father bring this tray. You must have trouble carrying it." Said Mr. Joko then brought a tray containing warm drinks and snacks to be served to the Handoko family.

"Bothering Mr. Joko would be like this." Said Mr. Handoko on the iron that serves food.

"Oh no. Understand, sir. In this house there are no maids, so I prepared this with Niken who is pregnant, please drink her tea."

It's okay, Dad. Don't worry about me, I'm still a father's son, and I should help you once in a while." Hearing his son's words so moved Mr. Joko and stroked the top of Niken's head.

"Where are the maids working in this house, sir?" asked Ms. Meli cuddly looking for the whereabouts of her iron house maid.

"She ran away not too long ago, because almost every day Mia abused her, that's why." Answer Joko. Then told his guests to drink, they enjoyed the tea that Niken made

"Alright, I'll say it now, but before that I want to take something in my room. You guys wait here."

Then Mr. Joko got up from his seat and headed for his room. After a while he came out with a small square shaped like a rectangle made of wood that had a small lock and a hanging padlock.

Mr. Handoko and Ms. Mia sat there, just wondering in my heart what exactly the box that Mr. Joko brought.

Mr. Joko sat back down and opened the box, it contained paper and a gold ring.

"Who's the box, Dad?" Niken asked

"It belongs to your biological mother, I found this on top of your baby basket a long time ago. And this paper is your mother's writing. At least it can still be read even though it is a little worn."

"I want to read it, Dad."

Niken then read the letter. The paper contains writing

"Please take care of my son, I can't take good care of him. I'm so afraid he'll be killed, think like your own son. Please take care of him." As soon as his writing made Niken cry after he read it endless tears trickled down Niken's cheeks. Gio stroked Niken's back draining her positive energy.

"And this ring seems to belong to your mother who was left for you, son." Mr. Joko gave the ring that was with the box.

Niken accepts it and grasps the ring, determined in his heart to find the whereabouts of his biological parents by using this ring until we meet, he also wanted to know why he left such an innocent baby in a garbage can on the edge of town."It's unfortunate your fate Niken could have a miserable fate of life." Mumbled Niken lamenting his fate.

"Don't talk like that, baby. I'll always be with you, I've also been figuring out where your biological parents are. Although there's no meeting point yet, but I'll keep looking until I see you." Gio's words calmed Niken's heart.

"Thank you, I'm really looking forward to your care." Say Niken and Gio kisses Niken's head.

"Yes dear."

After that, Mr. Handoko decided to go home with his wife. Gio and Niken decide to stay at Mr. Joko's house, because the sky is already night. Pity if a pregnant woman is exposed to the night wind, not good for her health.

Niken takes Gio to the room when he is not married to Gio. The not-so-big room is like a silent witness to Niken's childhood moments together with Adelia and Mia's mother.

There is a photo of her childhood carried by Mr. Joko on her shoulders, and Ms. Mia standing on the side holding Adelia. At that time it was very sad, at that time he did not know if the parents who were with him were not his biological parents. And certainly do not understand what is the difference, disappointment, comparison and regret. All he knows is that his life has a complete family.

Gio glanced at his silent wife glued to the photo he was in and hugged her from behind.

"Looking, baby, I'm sleepy." His words were written in Niken's ear.

"I changed the badcover first because it has not been used for a long time fear of dusty mattress." Said Niken then took the bed linen in his closet.

"Here is help." Gio could not bear to see his wife who was pregnant doing it herself and helped him put a badcover on the mattress that he would use to rest.

Niken is happy to get the attention of her husband, although only trivial things according to some people, but happiness does not always use material only.

Niken looked at the face of her husband she became a little inferior with the status of offspring turned out not to be a member of the family of Mr. Joko.

What according to religion about his marriage with Gionino was not his guardian was Joko. Is the marriage law legal? 'Author' doesn't know either, What do you think readers think of this assumption?
