Should We Get Married?

Promises

Now I sit in front of Bagas. It took me a while to gather the courage to do it. I only remember the advice of my father and mother Tika before leaving for Jakarta. They say that marriage is the longest worship. Marriage means perfecting religion. Means must be ready when facing various kinds of exams. His name is also half.

"Mas," call me. I don't know what to say, the most important thing is that he should know that I won't turn away from him. "Can we talk?"

"What?" he looks lazy.

"Mas knows, just like mas. The one who became my first love and who occupies the recesses of my heart is mas. I am so grateful to be a wife, Mom. I'm so happy. I know, already indebted to the mas and until whenever I will remember it, make the goodness of the mas as my motivation to continue to serve the mas in the future.

You don't have to doubt my heart. Even though my womb is now growing her child, but this child only has a biological relationship with her because she is completely mine. I conceived and bore this child. I also deserve to be his parents.

Even if the man has changed for the better and he managed to attract the attention of many people, but believe me, that is not the case with me. I don't love him at all. Let alone to like, there is only such great hatred." I explained to Bagas that at any time, as long as he was loyal to me, I would behave similarly to him.

"You promise, Yu?"

"Yes. Of course I promise."

Bagas reminded me that he sacrificed a lot for me. It wasn't easy for him to actually be separated from his parents, but he was chosen because he loved me. He didn't want me to take it all by myself.

I was just about to enter the house when I suddenly realized something was watching me. A car that again I did not know was a metallic black brand was standing across from our house. The car I realized had been there since I went out to deliver Bagas away. The car was not an empty car that was parked, but inside was a person. Yeah, I'm sure there's someone in it staring at me, like, right now. But who?

Not wanting to panic, I remained standing at my original place while playing the dried leaves of the flower, which I picked up when I wanted to enter the room.

"BI!" call me.

Humpers-gopoh bi Supi approaching.

"BI, keep looking at me." I said, stay calm while smiling.

"Yes, why mbak?"

"Later, look across, there's a black car parking lot. I want auntie to make sure that the car isn't empty."

BI Supi is very smart to follow the instructions I gave. While talking, he looked at the car. Then I agreed to what I said that there was someone in the car.

"What's that guy over there? Is it possible that he's stalking us, Bi?"

"It could be mbak."

I immediately took a broomstick, walked quickly out of the courtyard. BI Supi had called and banned, but I did not care. I want to know what the man in the car did. Why he's stalking this house.

"Get out!" I said, hitting the car window with a broomstick. If he's messing around, I'm ready to hit him with this broom.

Clik. Car door open. I looked up to see the person in front of me. Juan, he's here. I immediately scolded him.

Meanwhile Bi Supi who was worried about anything happening with me came following, but because she had seen the cue from me that I was fine she finally chose to look back from the courtyard of the house.

"Sorry Yu if you .." Juan said.

"What's? You still aren't satisfied about hurting us? What more do you want from us? There are so many people on this earth, why should we?" I wanted to bite him even more, but unfortunately my body felt weak, my stomach was instantly nauseous, like wanting to vomit and sure enough, in a matter of seconds, I immediately vomited.

Juan helped me. Although I tried to pull his hand away, but it had no effect because Juan's power was much stronger than mine.

Rutukan and makian I keep saying. I also regretted why every time I met him this stomach immediately showed a reaction. Though usually there is no nausea, but if it has something to do with Juan, the nausea feeling will appear. Maybe because my feelings of hate were already too great for her.

"I'm sorry that my existence makes you uncomfortable" he said.

"Do you know why it's still here?" I asked while glaring, but I could not be more angry because of the fear of suddenly returning nausea.

"I just want to make sure you're okay. Honestly, I was very thoughtful. Since you married Bagas ...."

"What's your business? You're nobody, so don't bother me. I'm okay anyway. Now I'm married to a good man in charge!"

"Yes, have you read my letter?"

"No. I threw it away. So now go!"

"Just ... If you don't want to talk to me, talk to Arum. He'll tell you everything."

"Go Juan, go! Don't bother me. You are a criminal. Don't involve Arum too for all your crimes. Unless you really want to destroy my extended family."

"No Yu, I didn't mean to destroy your family. I just want to ...."

"Go!"

"Yes, Bagas is not what you think. Please listen to me. Cancel your marriage with her."

"What's? You're crazy, aren't you?"

"As far as you want to say what. I understand you are angry and hate me. I accept that, Yu. I will also wait until your anger subsides. I just don't want your life to fall apart because Bagas isn't that good."

"Oh so now this is your way to destroy my life and Bagas mas? You want to make the two of us separate and hate each other too? Don't dream Juan, I'm not that stupid."

"Yu, listen to this. Bagas married you not because he loved you."

"Oh yeah? Hahaha, I know Bagas. We have loved each other for a long time. So stop being so ignorant, Juan. You are nothing and you have no idea how much we love you. Especially now that we're married."

"alright. Listen this Ayu Andara Nessa. My father paid a lot for Bagas to marry you. They know that Bagas is the man you love so they offer him to Bagas. Now you understand!"
