Rallyn threw her body on Alice's bed and let her bag fall on the side of the bed!
"Why are you so messy?" said Alice.
Not to answer Alice's question. Rallyn even cried while ruffling the bed until the blanket, pillow and everything on it changed position and was no longer care!
"Rally! Rallyn. Oh my God, why is this kid?" alice said again while trying to calm Rallyn down.
"I don't want to get married, I don't want to be a wife" Rallyn said, wailing.
"What's up, huh? Your parents forced you to marry the man of her choice?"
"Alice, I'm married" Rallyn explained.
"Well! Be married? When, who is the same? Does anyone want to be with you?" alice said with a fixed gaze on Rallyn.
"Help me, I don't want to be with him" whined Rallyn.
"Why can I help you and I don't know what the problem is. Tell me what really happened" Alice said.
"Actually yesterday when I came home from work I collided with a man and we fell down with the position he was overrunning me. Last night was unlucky because the people who saw us immediately thought that if we were dating, they raided us and forced my parents to marry us" Rallyn explained.
"Seriously?" Alice brought her face closer to Rallyn's.
"It's like the novel I read if it's not wrong when the spinster gets married" Alice continued.
"You're kidding me, I'm serious."
"Yes-yes now I'm serious. Why ask for my help? You just talk to the man to divorce you" Alice said.
"Udah but he did not want to because he said he did not want to be a widower again" said Rallyn.
"What! A widower?" Alice surprised.
"She's old, Lice, she even has kids." Rallyn's cry broke even more when she said that Jo already had one child.
"What's? Not wrong, it means you married om-om dong," said Alice.
"Help me Lice, please help me. I want to get away from that old man."
"Lyn mending you ask your parents for help. Ask them to ask your husband to divorce you" Alice said.
"Udah but they instead let the man maintain this crazy marriage" said Rallyn.
"If you may know, what is his name?"
"His name is Jo, don't know Jo what I know Jo is" Rallyn said.
"No handsome?"
"You've been interrogating me." Rallyn was upset that Alice asked too much.
Alice let out a long sigh and then exhaled slowly, sitting on the edge of her bed with her mouth tightly closed. There was nothing he could say to his friend anymore, for him the problem faced by Rallyn was a big and very serious problem.
********
At Rallyn's parents' house.
Jovanka is still sitting in the chair in front of Rallyn's parents' house, she is still faithfully waiting for the return of her newly married wife due to a misunderstanding.
"Son, where did Rallyn come down?" asked Mr. Hardi who felt bad for Jo, because his daughter did not return home even though she wanted maghrib.
"So he asked to be dropped off on the highway ahead there" said Jo.
"Said to meet his friend," continued Jo.
"If so let me follow him," said Mr. Hardi.
"No, Sir. Just let Rallyn there first maybe he's a time laborer to tell his friend," said Jo.
"But–"
"Later when it's nine o'clock he doesn't come home too, I'll pick him up" said Jo cut off Bu Herlina's words.
"Who's your name? Forgot your name?" ask Mr. Hardi.
"It's only natural that you forget. We've never met before" said Jo.
"Call Dad, please" said Mr. Hardi.
Jo smiled faintly at Mr. Hardi.
"My name is Jovanka Ashkara, I used to be married and already have one child who is now five years old. My wife left after giving birth to our child" Jo explained.
"You're an adult and you've been married before, are you sure you want to continue your marriage to Rallyn while she's too young to be in the household. Rallyn does not understand how to be a good wife, especially if you already have children, surely Rallyn will find it difficult to accept your child" said Mr. Hardi.
"What Dad said. Not that we forbid you to carry out your good intentions but with the state of Rallyn who is not mature enough we fear this marriage will only cause injury in each of you," continued Ms. Herlina.
"Dad, Mother please let me try to maintain our marriage, if in a few months there is no change or no love between us, then I will release Rallyn, she said, I'm going to give Rallyn back to Mom and Dad" Jo said.
"We can't ban you because no matter how now you're Rallyn's husband, no matter how hard we forbid you but if you want to stay, we can't do anything about it. Dad just asked that you never hurt Rallyn either physically or mentally and please don't make Rallyn pregnant first, we as parents can't bear to see Rallyn lose her youth," said Mr. Hardi.
"I understand that, Father and Mother, don't worry that I won't ruin Rallyn's youth, he'll get all his rights" Jo said.
"Thank God you understand" said Ms. Herlina.
*******
The Jovanka residence
"Well, is Papa not coming home tonight?" ask Alika to Miss Reni.
"Looks not. You are used to leaving Papa out of town or abroad, let's just say that now Papa you are on duty outside" said Bu Reni.
"Why should my mom work too? Didn't Papa already have enough money for our family," said Alika innocently.
The little girl never saw anything else to see her Mama because that's when Jo introduced Rallyn as her Mama, Alika immediately believed.
"Darling, mending now we get ready to pray. Adzan Maghrib has reverberated," said Bu Reni.
"After that, do I wish to confide in Allah."
"What does God want to say?"
"I want our family to be together. There's Mama there's Papa there's me and also Eyang," said Alika.
Ms. Reni smiled then rubbed Alika's long hair!
"Udah yuk, dear we are ready to pray," said Ms. Reni.
Alika nodded then immediately went to her room to pick up her prayer kit!
Ms. Reni was still standing at her original place while staring at Alika's departure.
"The son's ass. Let's just hope Jo's wife wants to stay here with us," said Ms. Reni.
