"Father, I don't want to follow Papah's wishes. I'm not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself."
"Well, since you went to college and lived in America, you've changed a lot? Is this the kind of life you want?" Aditya Salman Wiguna raised his voice.
"Father all this time I've been following the wishes of papah and mamah, the wishes of all families. Now, please, allow Cahya to live as she wishes."
"But my son. Papah and mama just don't want you to be broken. Don't be silly, son."
"Father, have you ever thought about my heart. During this time papah has unilaterally arranged Cahya. He told me to continue to obey and submit. Followed by all the family. I'm not a statue. I'm not a robot." Cahya was silent for a moment regulating her emotions.
"At every moment of every moment, have I ever fought the family's will. Ever been? Even when I was sick, I had to be quiet, just complain I was sick, I couldn't. When I'm confused, have you ever asked me about my problems. Never, Pah. Papah always demands that I be the perfect one. I was a kid at the time, Pah. I'm just a kid who needs to be heard and cared for. It's not a kid who has to be a robot, who has to obey all the commands and wants papah, everyone wants a family." Cahya covered her face with both hands. The tears she had been holding back had been shed.
"That's all Papah does for your own good, for your future. You are Papah's heir. To whom else should Papah depend if not for you."
"Father, look at me!" cahya Pinta.
Aditya looked at his daughter. Looking at both eyes.
"I'm just a kid. Have a heart, have a wish, have hope. I'm not a robot that can form a heart. That papah doesn't know himself. Papah is selfish. That was dictator. Papah is cruel. Papah is the embodiment of human monsters. That was scary."
Plaque!!! A loud slap floated on Cahya's cheek. Her hair covered her face. His bruised cheeks received a hard slap Papah Aditya.
"Father. Papah don't be too hard on Cahya. Control emotions! Anyway Cahya's our only child." Magdalene mediates a quarrel between her husband and her son.
"This kid is insolent. Already schooled, educated, taught, still remain impudent to parents." Aditya wrath. His son who had been taught with all his heart became uncontrollable. He felt he was right in educating and raising children, but why the results should be like this. Why does his son feel tormented by his upbringing.
"Father let mama talk to Cahya." Magdalene looked at her daughter with pity. As a mother, Magdalene understood her child's heart better.
Magdalene pulled her daughter's hand. He asked his daughter to talk in the room.
"Don't tell mama, tell me all your problems! Mom will listen. Mama won't be angry. Here's my son!" Gently Magdalene grabbed Cahya's body. Enclosed by her daughter who was crying nelangsa.
"Mom, I don't demand much. Now let me be myself. If Cahya is done with the freedom that Cahya wants, Cahya must return to papah and mamah. I'm tired of constantly being a robot, a living statue."
"Failure, when you're done with the freedom you want, you'll go back to mamah and papah?" ask Magdalena.
Cahya nodded for sure. "Just a minute Mah. Just a few years."
"Don't be long, son!" woo Magdalena.
"Son, mamah and papah will fulfill your wishes. But let mamah and papah carry out our duties as parents. Let mamah take care of this precious princess. How, Son?"
Cahya was silent for a long time. Mused.
"alright. Cahya. But first can Mamah tell you what papah and mamah will do."
"Son, rest assured this is best for a very dear princess."
The mother and son hugged each other. Expose love and affection.
Cahya nodded slowly.
Aditya goes into his daughter's room. His daughter's cheeks slowly. "I'm sorry Papah?"
Cahya did not reply, only nodded back slowly.
🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸
The agreement between the father and his son was agreed. Cahya was allowed to live the life she wanted. And Aditya provides some bodyguards who will always supervise and help his daughter if there is a problem. Especially Pak Toto and Ibu Asih, the couple will accompany wherever Cahya goes, without disturbing the freedom that Cahya wants. While in America, Mr. Toto and Ms. Asih participated in America. They both showed photos to all family members in the village. 'American Tourists.'
"Allow Papah and mamah to guard your honor. So that one day we as parents will have no regrets, and Cahya's honor will be preserved."
Since then, Cahya has lived the life she wanted without having to hide from her parents.
When he was drunk with patience Asih's mother threw Cahya into the car and took her back to her apartment room. And Mr. Toto works as Cahya's personal driver.
Cahya's personal bodyguards are in charge of ensuring her safety and kindness.
Bugs. A hard blow struck the jaw of a Caucasian man who was brazenly trying to control the body of Cahya who was leaning on the wall of his apartment.
A fistfight ensues between Cahya's bodyguard and the Caucasian bodyguard named William, Cahya's lover.
A conversation three months ago
"Cahya, my lady. Dating like this anywhere fun. Can you kiss a little and hug a little?" william said in a loud voice. They've been dating for two months, but let alone hug, kiss Cahya's cheek was hard to die. Enjoying the lips of his sensual lover is hard to ask for forgiveness. His desire was on the verge of limits, but the Cahya guards crossed the line.
"Papah and mama's message, I am allowed to live as I want but must maintain the honor as a woman."
"Geez, Cahya. Times have changed. Just hug and kiss what's hard."
"William times have changed but the name of a woman's honor has not changed. I'm a jerk, but at least behind me being a jerk, there's something I can be proud of in front of my kids. Which I can offer with kindness before the man who became my husband."
"You mean you don't want to marry me. I love you my lady. And I want to marry with you."
"Hello William, hello! You're a devotee of free relationships, and you think I believe in your false seduction. Never mind William, just go with what's there."
William's brain kept thinking. Cahya is too valuable, but the weapon also needs appreciation, like a sword needs a sheath to be calm. Today, in modern times, in a time when free relations have become a natural thing, with modern women in the class of Cahya, still hold closely the principle of honor and purity, virginity. Only the virgin husband will be offered. Ancient principles.
"You and your parents read too many spiritual stories."
"Like. That's my. Continue, do not want a good bye. Done."
"OKs. I concur. But if I'm khilaf it's out of my control."
"Good choices."
