Should We Get Married?

Facing the Media

"A ... Ayu," my body immediately trembled as I peeked out from behind the window, it seemed that many reporters had packed into our not-so-wide courtyard. "Duh, the journalist very much yes mbak" muttered me while playing fingers.

"What's? Let's meet now!" said mbak Yuni. "Don't waste any more time.get it!'

"Why Yu? You're not ready yet? It's okay if not ready, next time we talk." mbak Tika tried to calm me who is still trembling.

"Cannot. You should talk now Yu. tell us what happened to us. It's the only way to deal with those big guys" said mbak Yuni, pushing me out immediately. "Come on Yu, don't be pushed back. There will not be a second chance!"

"Mom! Ayu's not ready. Next time just meet the reporter" said Tika. "Look at his body until it trembles so. Let Ayu calm down first!"

"Other times? When, Tik? Do you know who our opponent is? They are Utomo's family. Everyone knows how this family is. If pushed back and forth, not necessarily the reporters will want to interview us. I tried so hard to invite them today, so don't waste all that effort. After all, do you not pity Yu with father and mas Yuda? They spent the night in jail. Sleeping only on a cold floor, eating it is not clear. Besides, how would my family respond if they found out that Yuda went to jail, they would be ashamed and angry, Yu. Please think about that too!" Be firm mbak Yuni.

"Astagfirullah Mbak, please empathize with Ayu. We are family. One should be affected by another disaster should be empathetic." pinta mbak Tika.

I have no other choice. That's the only way we have. Against Juan Utomo's massage by gaining public sympathy is by telling the whole audience what happened to me.

"Te .. Thank you for supporting me and my family. It happened two days ago, I couldn't do anything to free myself from it because at the same time he hit me on the nape of my neck until I lost consciousness.

As a father and brother, hearing of the calamity that befell me, my father and brother were certainly inflamed until they taught the perpetrators a lesson. But what they did left them in jail.

I really am asking for justice. We are just victims, but this is what we get. Imprisoned on charges of violence, while our own reports have never been published by the authorities. Then what should we do?"

I who was trembling for fear of facing the reporters was braver now, only I could not control my emotions until tears kept flooding my cheeks. Right now, I hope to get justice. I want Dad and Yuda to go back home.

"Sir," I scattered in the arms of Tika, after giving a statement to reporters.

"Already Yu, don't cry. You will always be there for me." Ma'am Tika hugged me. "Now the satisfied will have forced Ayu. We don't know how broken Ayu's mentality is right now!" mbak Tika is angry at mbak Yuni.

In just a matter of hours, my face was already circulating in the media. I feel very ashamed because now everyone knows about the disaster that happened to me.

"Well don't come out anymore, ma'am. Ayu just want to be in the room. Ayu shy. Now everyone knows that Ayu was told**" I cried in Tika's arms.

Two days later, Yuda and his father were arrested. I'm getting discouraged, feeling guilty for putting them both in jail. But I don't know what to do.

"Juice!" mbak Yuni entered my room without permission. "You need to go with me right now, Tika's mumpung is out."

"Where, mbak?" my many.

"Meet father and father Judah in prison."

I just according. Come with Muni to the police station. There I was forced to persuade my father to sign an agreement that the case that happened to me never happened.

"This is the only way that father and father Judah can be free. You know, if the report is not revoked and until it is tried, then Yuda's father and father can be jailed for five years. It's not a minute Ayu. Mbak knows this is selfish, but the family will not let mbak wait for mas Yuda without certainty like this. Moreover, we do not have children, it would be more flexible for them to tell us to separate. So you have to act, Yu." said mbak Yuni.

Again, I do not argue even though my little heart is in fact in revolt. How could I possibly let go of the perpetrator who destroyed my future. But I also could not bear if father and mas Yuda had to be imprisoned for five years.

In accordance with what mbak Yuni said, I request that father not continue the case.

"What are you talking about, Yu anyway? How could you possibly let go of that dog? He's ruined your dpena time!" firmly dad. "Dad doesn't care about anything, I promise I'll get it and teach him a lesson! You don't have to worry about me and Yuda, we'll be fine."

"But yeah, ayu ..." I can't go on. I don't want him to be free just like that. But it is also not the heart if the father and father Judah had to be imprisoned for that long. Moreover, this is also related to the marriage of Yuda. There is too much to sacrifice.

"Yah .. Dad believes in destiny, right? Everything that happened to Ayu was in line with the hand that God set. It hurts, but Ayu has learned to be sincere. So Ayu asked father and Yuda mas also sincere. Ayu is okay. It will all pass and will be fine again. Now what matters is that father and father Judah go home." I said.

"What are you talking about, Yu anyway? Mom and Dad did all this for you. So do not think about making peace with the child or his family. Want them to do anything, we'll face it!" mas Yuda.

How could I possibly stand up to these two men I love so much. I don't want them in jail, nor do I want to be the cause of the breakup in the Yuda household.

"Whoever ... will not be able to prevent us from avenging everything!" yuda again. "Including you Yun, don't force anything on Ayu, if you do, I am prepared to end it all!"

Yuni's mother immediately turned pale as Yuda's index finger pointed at her. He did not think that Yuda already knew everything.
