S.H.E (Women I've Purchased)
#117
"Maybe you think that if I agreed to matchmaking between my parents and Andre's parents, but the truth is that I didn't want a marriage like this at all. I also want to feel in love and loved, I am not a child of antiquity who always obeyed the requests of parents. That's ridiculous." said Ratih.
"So you mean?" ask Lucy.
"Yes I don't like Andre, I just pretended to be nice in front of Andre's mom. And I have my own plan." said Ratih.
"Plan? But I see you as if agreeing to this matchmaking." Lucy said.
"You've seen it, haven't you? How do I treat Andre's mother, do you think it's all really pure my behavior? Do you think I like this can't cook and can only be lazy? I did it all so you could get a much better look in Andre's mom's eyes." said Ratih.
Lucy is stunned to hear the words of Ratih, it turns out that all this time she had been theatrical to save Lucy so that she was seen by Andre's mother.
"Train, forgive me for thinking evilly about you and even I was so jealous of you being so perfect as a woman" Lucy said sincerely.
"Perfectly? Do I look like that?" ask Ratih.
"Yes, you're beautiful, well educated, have a good job even from a well-respected family very much inversely proportional to my life. So I really feel less grateful with what I already have. I even wanted to give up on my relationship with Andre." said Lucy.
"What you're seeing right now might not be as good as you'd see if you'd known me. I'm not as good and perfect as Lucy, my family isn't even a family that lives in complete harmony. I live under pressure, not all my will can be fulfilled. Everything I do should follow my parents' words and if something goes wrong in my way of life, they won't hesitate to curse me because they think I made the family name tarnished. I'm really depressed Lucy." said Ratih with a sad face.
"Ah I'm sorry Coach if I make you sad and don't know if you're like that. I'm really sorry and I feel guilty" Lucy said.
"No problem, I don't think about that anymore. Right now I'm almost a little free, when I get my position in the hospital later I can do whatever I want." said Ratih.
"Are you going to rebel? What if your parents scold you again, and they blame you again?" ask Lucy to worry.
"Quiet, my strength will be more if the hospital is already mastered" said Ratih with a laugh.
Lucy also laughs at the words of Ratih, he really wrongly considers Ratih all this time. Now his heart was a little relieved because in fact Ratih did not put his heart to Andre.
"Train, I will pray for you to get a companion that suits your wishes and you will live a happy life" said Lucy smiling.
"Thank you Lucy, well then I'll have to call the man waiting for your news out there. I'm sure he's very worried about your current situation" said Ratih.
"Ratih, but I'm still confused about our relationship" Lucy said, holding onto Ratih's hand.
"Anged of what? Relax, Andre really loves you and it's clearly implied on his face" said Ratih.
"But do you think me and Andre would be able to be together if our beliefs were different?" ask Lucy directly.
Ratih was silent to Lucy's words, he forgot that what Lucy was facing at this time was not only the approval of Andre's mother but her religious status must be at stake in this relationship.
"Lucy, I don't really understand this. But can I ask you?" ask Ratih.
"If Andre's mother has liked you, are you willing to change your faith?" ask Ratih nervously.
Lucy was speechless to hear Ratih's question, she had never gotten a question like this before and had never even thought about it.
"I can't choose such a thing, I really don't know what choice I should take" Lucy said.
"Alright, choose with your heart. If you don't mind, you also occasionally have to find out about your lover's teachings. Since Andre will never ask you to leave your teachings, you have to choose Lucy yourself" said Ratih.
Ratih stood up and left Lucy who was still sitting on the mattress, he came out of the room and saw the figure of Andre pacing in front of the door.
"How many times have you been back and forth?" Ask Ratih wonder.
"So how's it going? Is there anything serious?" andre asked in panic.
"Wow, calm down sir, your lover is not having any problems. He was just a little tired and also excessive stress, the pain in his stomach was caused because it was innate monthly" said Ratih explained.
"really? Thankfully, I could have calmed down a little" said Andre, leaving Ratih and entering Lucy's room.
Andre looked at Lucy who was still sitting on the mattress with a blanket wrapped around half her body. He approached the girl and sat down next to her.
"Do you feel much better now?" ask Andre.
Suddenly Lucy lowered her head and cried, Andre was confused to see his lover who he suddenly met crying in front of him.
"What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt again? Ratih is still outside, I'll have him come in and check on you again" Andre said frantically.
Andre stands up from the bed to meet Ratih outside but Andre's hand is suddenly pulled by Lucy and suddenly his steps stop.
"I'm fine." said Lucy.
"If you're okay, so why are you crying?" ask Andre wonder.
"I was just crying over my stupidity, why would I think if Ratih was going to take you away from me. And I even thought that you were actually engaged" Lucy said in tears.
"Infranquired? Seriously, where do you know that information from?" ask Andre wonder.
"That's why I saw you wearing it and I was so sad to see that when you got here" Lucy said, pointing at the ring on Andre's ring finger.
Andre saw his finger attached to the purchase ring from his mother yesterday, he who was forced by his mother to wear it inevitably had to obey his mother's will for Lucy. Andre hugged Lucy's body and stroked her head trying to calm her lover.
