Should We Get Married?

Dream Man

Cici and I were basking in the morning sun while telling stories. I asked Cici about school. He is now five years old, has been able to enter Kindergarten. Said the little girl, actually she wanted to go to school, wanted to have a lot of friends because she had always been alone. But he was afraid that the school would incriminate his mother. It was a pity to see his mother who had to work at night, but according to the little girl, going out at night was very scary. Cici is really mature despite her young age.

"Cici need not worry, Juan already said, he will pay the tuition of Cici. So Cici wants to?" my many.

"Mother will be angry, won't she?"

"God will not be angry. Brother Juan will talk to mom. Hows it? Cici want to study and have a lot of friends?"

"But then who will escort and accompany Cici at school. Cici does not have a father, later no one will want to be friends with Cici." Said the boy again.

"Kak Ayu will accompany Cici. Who says nobody wants to be friends with Cici. We don't know yet. Other friends would love to be able to meet because Cici is a good child. All will surely love Cici, who does not want to be friends with Cici who will lose. Cici is the beautiful son of Saliha Rani's kind mother. So Cici wants to, huh?"

"You brother."

"Well, I'll tell Juan, yes." While sunbathing I sent Juan a message.

[I have told Cici and he wants to be enrolled in school.] I said.

Last night Juan asked me to persuade Cici to go to school. Juan did not want his stepbrother to be left behind in terms of education. So he was able to take the initiative to send Cici to school. Initially Juan had offered directly to Cici, but was rejected. That's why he asked for my help.

Soon Juan replied. [It looks like we can't register Cici this year, even if we have to go to school not in Jakarta.]

[Why? Did something happen?]

[The lawyer I appointed took care of Rani's case said that Rani's opponent is currently targeting people related to Rani's brother, Cici. He still seems to be vengeful because he was infected with HIV virus. He will even kill the family near Rani. Therefore I made the decision to temporarily hide Cici first until it was safe.]

I justify Juan's decision. Although the school is important but maintaining the safety of Cici is much more important. We understand why this man was so angry. He contracted the virus and also infected his wife. Regardless, he did make a mistake with adultery.

"How sis?" Ask Cici

"Said brother Juan later Cici will go to school after the mother's business is finished huh. Now Cici learned the same Ayu brother first. Hows it? Cici want to? Gini-gini Ayu class champion. So can be Cici's teacher."

"Yes Cici wants to, brother!"

While busy sunbathing while chatting, suddenly a small car entered the yard of the house. Cici thought it was Juan, but it turned out that the assumption was wrong, who got out of the car was a beautiful young woman. She wore a pink robe, her face looks ayu with a thin makeup brush of matching color that makes her face fresh.

"This must be Ayu?" the woman said to me, extending her hand. "I'm Aurel, Juan's friend." he introduced himself. Although Aurel was quite friendly, I still felt uncomfortable with his presence.

"Yes, I know, Juan said it last night. I just want to meet you, Yu. Juan said you live here now. That's why I came here to get acquainted and give you this." Ma'am Aurel gave me the package he brought for me. A large enough package, from within it smelled a fragrant aroma. Typical of expensive cakes, as once given by Juan first when visiting the house of brother Rani.

"What's this?"

"Food. Try it."

"Oh yeah, thanks mbak."

What kind of friend is Aurel's sister? It seemed that he was close to Juan until Juan also told him about me. I've never heard of him before. Unfortunately I can't ask much about him for fear that he misunderstood. Want to ask Juan also tastes bad because it is also worried about the prejudice. After all who I am, why should I even think about all that. I'm really confused about myself.

"Juan is a good man, he dreams of many women. Don't you think, Yu?" suddenly Aurel said so.

"Ahhh, not everyone likes it mbak." I replied carelessly.

"Hehehehe, time? But Juan said that, you don't like it. Even though you are pregnant with her child."

"Yes," I've said this, but because of the prestige of being forced to talk like that.

"Yu, you want to know that I'm Juan?"

The question Aurel asked was actually in my heart. But I'm reluctant to ask him. That's why I only answer carelessly. "Themes, right?"

"Mmmm, you could say so. It can't either. Actually I was the woman Juan was betrothed to. Both of our parents agreed. I myself accepted the match, but not with Juan. The reason for that is because he will have a child with you, Yu. I'm actually angry, why did Juan do it when we were getting married. It's just that I can't impose a will. At first I wanted to let Juan go, find another one, who could love me too. But Juan told me that you didn't like him, that you even hated Juan. But you cannot escape because there are children between you" said Mr. Aurel.. "Yu, Juan also told me that you once tried to abort your kanduang. From there I can deduce how much you hate him."

"Yes, I hate Juan so much because he ruined my future!" I said. "But now I love him." I said again in my heart, without being able to express it.

"Yu, sorry Juan. I won't force you to apologize so soon because I know the wounds are deep. But I'm sure Juan didn't mean to ruin my life 'cause he wasn't a squat-man. Juan is actually very good. If you want, I'm willing to make amends by taking your place."

"meaning?"

"Give me the baby, I'll take care of him. I promise he won't bother you anymore. How's it?"

I smiled cynically. At first I thought he was good, but why would he think of separating me from my son. Is it because he has everything so he can separate me from my son?
