Pellucid

Chapter 22 - Two Pistols

Bening's father immediately hit the collar of Arjuna uniform that he clutched before to make Arjuna's body stagger back. While Mrs. Lina could only lament the sadness while feeling deeply disappointed in the son she had been proud of all this time.

While Bik Ningsih could only sob bitterly handle his cries by smothering his own mouth. Through the gap of the kitchen door, he had heard the screams of Bening's father berating his guests who were present, namely a pair of mothers and children.

From this, Bik Ningsih finally knew that fate was really playing tricks on his master's son. The man who desecrated his employer's daughter, turned out to be Bening's own future husband to be betrothed.

When the man came to take responsibility, the Beningnya Miss was gone. Be late.

Komjen Pol Prasetyo Pambudi left Arjuna who was still on his knees and his mother who was crying on the sofa of the family room.

Tap...

His footsteps hunted and moved quickly up the stairs. His breathing is irregular like a person finished running a marathon. Everything was astounding for both sides especially Father Bening.

He did not expect the man who would be predicted as his future son-in-law, instead making his daughter tarnished and pregnant out of wedlock.

Brakk...

The sound of the door slamming so hard. Bening's father went inside Bening's room to pick up something and immediately came back out.

Bugh...

The sound of a book dropped Bening's father on the family room table and also a test pack that states Bening positive pregnant.

Arjuna's heart was more and more unsettled when he saw that it was a diary that he believed the book belonged to Bening. A pregnancy test that shows two red lines. It means positive pregnancy.

"You know. Clear pregnant your seeds. But even until I was bitter and tortured, he did not confess at all who the man who could impregnate him. His mouth was tightly shut as if to protect you from his father's anger."

Komjen Pol Prasetyo Pambudi shouted loudly at Arjuna to pat his chest with his own hands. Emotions are entrenched in Dad's heart.

"Even because of you. I am up to the emotion and have the heart to say the curse sentence that I now regret. What I shouldn't have said to Bening. Ask him to drop his contents. And my daughter went to the ab0rsi clinic secretly. You dick! All because of you, Arjuna!" cry Bening's father while pulling out his gun and pointing at Arjuna's head.

"Seek into ab0rsi clinic? Did Bening drop the contents? My child," Arjuna's mind rumbled and became more and more regretful.

"You deserve to die!"

"I'd better be in prison to avenge the heartache of my daughter whom you have tainted. You have destroyed the future of Bening who will continue his education to become a doctor. Makes me and Bening ashamed. The dignity of my family you throw with shit. Crushed all. It's ruined! You cowardly man! Goddamn bum!" maki Father Bening vented all the anger in his heart and prepared to pull the trigger.

Arjuna's mother who saw the condition getting heated up uncontrollably, suddenly she stood up and immediately knelt in front of Father Bening. Her tears had not stopped dripping from witnessing this pain.

"I'm sorry Juna, Dek Pras."

"I beg you, don't kill my son. If you want to exchange Bening's life for our granddaughter, let the life of this useless old lady deserve to die. I beg Dek Pras. Don't kill my son. Hiks.. hikss. " said Mrs. Lina sobbed bitterly while kneeling in front of Bening's father who was standing pointing a gun at Arjuna's head.

"Mom" Arjuna's great-grandson saw his mother.

"Let Juna. Mother will atone for all your sins. I'm very disappointed in you, Juna. Better the dead mother. Let the mother accompany your father, Bening and also the mother's grandson there. Let you live with your regrets in this world," said Ms. Lina sobs bitterly.

Arjuna was shocked to hear his mother's words. That his mother was willing to take his life to defend his son who was guilty and cowardly. Such is the love of a mother. Infinite all the time.

Anything a mother would sacrifice to her child. His life though. Though disappointed in Arjuna. But Arjuna was still Arjuna, his biological son. Meat blood. Blood is more thick than water. He was willing to sacrifice anything for his son.

Arjuna suddenly pulled out his gun from his place. Then he pointed at his own head exactly the right part above his ears.

"Don't kotori Papa's hand. Juna deserved to die. Let Juna take care of Bening and my son there. Clear will be sad when you see Papa's hands dirty with undue blood. So I better end this. Once again, Juna apologized Pah. I'm sorry Juna, Mom."

"June. No, Son. Please," great-granddaughter. Lina softly looked at the son who had closed his eyes and was about to pull the trigger.

"June!" shouted Mrs. Lina.
