TerLove (Love After Wedding)

Opposed

"Emmmmm......" Cantika pushed as hard as she could.

"Keep, Mom. A little more baby's out." The doctor who handled the delivery continued to give instructions and encouragement.

"Emmm....." Although it feels sore and a bit painful in the core of his body, he still tries to push. The sweat flooded his tired body.

Shortly after, the sound of crying babies filled the room. Cantika closed her eyes that were covered in water. Grief and sorrow ruled his heart.

After cleaning, the baby was sloughed into his mother's chest.

Mas.. This is our son.

Cantika as much as she looked at her son. That handsome little baby was so slicing his heart. It is unfortunate that the fate of the child whose body looks still fragile, there is no figure of the father who stands to witness his presence in this world.

Cantika sat leaning on the Hospital bed, in a different room. Mr. Permana held his grandson while echoing the Adhan and Iqamah in the left and right ear of the baby. Bu Sofi and Riri sat by the bed trying to comfort Cantika who was crying sobbing.

"If Mas Anas were still alive, he would definitely be very happy with the birth of his son. He is the one who will recite the Adhan and iqamah on my baby." His chest and shoulders rose and shook with his increasingly broken cries.

"Patience, just calm down. We'll always be there for you and your son." Sofi hugged her stepson.

Mr. Permana gave the baby to his wife.

"Cantika, Peter is now in the operating room. His tail was broken from falling down the stairs." Said the middle-aged man.

Everyone is stumbling.

"Fire, it's all because of me. I made him fall down the stairs." Cantika looks in shock.

"Sister, don't think about it! Brother didn't mean to make him wretch." Riri Bela.

"Mas, why are you talking about this? Cantika just gave birth, don't let her stress." Bu Sofi spoke to her husband. He's worried about Cantika's condition.

"Sorry, Son. Papi's leaking because it's too upset." The man is indeed afraid that Peter's father will sue Cantika for the accident. What if the Japanese slender man, reported his daughter to the authorities? He could not bear to even imagine if Cantika went into custody. What is the fate of his grandson?

**

Mr. Permana visited Peter the next day. It just so happened that the squinty man was conscious. There, Mr and Mrs Arata were accompanying their only son. Even the middle-aged woman who still looked ageless, now hugged Peter with a whim.

"Peter, Mommy will ask Daddy to take you abroad. You will definitely recover quickly if you do the treatment there."

"Mommy, I don't want to be a disfigured man. I feel useless. I'm sure no one will want to live with me later." Peter was screaming in frustration.

Mr. Arata just rubbed his face. The man looked so depressed. While Mr. Permana is now bowed down to shame, guilt and also fear.

"The doctor said that Peter would be paralyzed for the rest of his life. Can no longer be healed." Said the man's father narrowed while massaging the base of his nose.

Mr. Permana is wide-eyed. The woman who had been hugging Peter, was now staring intently at him. Even now approaching and hitting him in a row.

"It's all one of your expensive selling kids. My son just wanted to help her but he hurt Peter. Look at the condition now! My son can no longer walk. Your son must be responsible!"

"I'm sorry, forgive my daughter. He didn't do that on purpose."

"You knowingly don't want to, which obviously made my son wretched." Increasingly furious.

"Mommy, don't blame Cantika! She's not a bad woman. At that time, I was the one who made him feel disturbed. I'm sure Cantika didn't mean to make me like this." Said Peter.

"Can't, he still has to take responsibility! Mommy's gonna take this case to the police station."

Mr. Permana looks in shock. His face was clear and his palms were clinging to each other. "Please don't do that! Cantika has just given birth, her son is in desperate need of life...."

"I don't care, obviously your son has to make up for all his mistakes!"

"Momm, I love Cantika so much. Never get him hurt!" Peter screaming.

"Momm, relax. We'll talk about it again when the atmosphere is calmer." Persuade Mr. Arata.

The woman seemed to think for a moment, then spoke again. "Ok, since my son likes your son, then I will not prolong this matter. But on one condition. She must marry Peter. This is what my son deserves after sacrificing too much."

Mr. Permana was almost gaping. Why is the problem so complicated?

"Momm, don't talk about it! I don't want to make Cantika uncomfortable. She just finished giving birth. Besides, she probably wants to marry a lame guy like me. Never mind now, when I'm fine, Cantika always refuses to make me a wife." Peter lowered his head.

"It is precisely because of that, Cantika must marry you. Anyway he has to take responsibility! If not, then get ready to live in prison." The woman insisted on her thoughts.

"Calm, Momm. Don't be rash in acting!" Her husband tried to calm her down.

"I can't, I can't calm down right now. Why would Daddy even defend him?"

The middle-aged squinty man stared fixedly at his business partner. "Sir Permana, you better just go home. The atmosphere is still tense."

"I hope you all can forgive Cantika. Excuse me."

Mr. Permana also left the room. His head was now feeling intense pulsating. What if Peter's mother really realized her threat?

Week pass.

The atmosphere is safer now. There was no sign of movement on Peter's part. They may have been stuck in the chest forgetting the incident.

Cantika is now giving breast milk to Afkar, the baby. His lips smiled broadly at the boy.

"Daughter of handsome Mami, you're so excited about mimi. It's been an hour longer, isn't your mouth cape? Mami is a really good pegel."

Shortly thereafter, the little guy fell asleep. Cantika kissed him and put him to bed. "Good sleep, baby." He said as he stroked the tiny cheek. He also sat on the edge of the bed.

At that moment Riri appeared. "Sir, Afkar is bobo, right?! Ahhh, when I wanted to carry him."

"Just slept. I think he's drowsy after too much mimi. Satisfaction maybe, he...."

"Can I kiss?"

"Slow down, don't let Afkar wake up!"

Riri peeped both cheeks at the boy. "Children are handsome, funny, really cute..." his hands like to pinch the little guy.

"Udah, stop. My son will wake up again."

Riri grinned, "Sorry, the end of Afkar gesin terribly. Pantes only if now Brother becomes a lot of smiles."

"Yes, he's one of Big Brother's life's cheers."

Tok....

"Non, someone wants to see you." Sound from outside the room.

"Stay, Brother. Let me get samperin."

Riri stepped towards the door of the room. The servant aunt bowed politely as she spoke. "There's a guest who wants to see Miss Cantika."

"Who, Bi?"

"Mrs Arata. Now wait in the living room."

"Ok, I'll be samperin."

"Ri, is he here to get mad at Brother for Peter's accident?"

Both faces panicked. Even Cantika was more in shock.

"Do not know, brother. Mending I told him to come home."

"Don't, just let him come. I haven't apologized to him directly. Maybe it's the right time. Or mending Brother who goes down."

"Don't you wait here! Brother has just run out, don't go around a lot."

Riri leaves the room to meet her former future father-in-law. Madam Arata smiled faintly cynically. Riri was still standing before him.

"Tante, how are you?"

"I'm here to see your brother." I have no intention of answering that question at all.

"I know, let's Tan."

The two of them stepped slowly towards Cantika's room.

"I'm sorry, I'm so bad to get into your room." Said the woman in clean white when approaching the owner of the room. He stood in front of Cantika who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"It's okay, Tan. How are you?"

"You think I'll be okay at a time like this? My son is always moody because his legs are paralyzed." Answer cynically.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt Peter." Cantika.

The haughty mistress looked at the baby sleeping there. "So this is your son?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Tante, we'll just sit on the couch." Take Riri.

"Not to." Reject the woman.

"Tante, I'm really sorry for the accident. I don't mean to make Peter go bad." Cantika was still full of guilt.

The Madam crossed her arms in the chest. "You must account for your actions by marrying my son. You know why? for no one will want to be his wife when her condition is so paralyzed. Besides, Peter loves you too." Turn away faces.

Cantika looked up with wide eyes. "That's impossible, Auntie."

Riri was equally surprised. "Aunty why complicate this matter? Besides, Cantika didn't do that on purpose."

"I'm not talking to you. Cantika, listen. If you don't want to be Peter's wife, then I'm going to proceed with the case to the law." His eyes were full of intimidation.

"Tante, please don't do that! What's my son's fate if I go to jail?"

"That means you have to marry my son. If not, you will regret it! Remember, I never mess around! I am waiting for your answer immediately. If you haven't made a decision tomorrow, then I assume you refuse. That means you'd rather stay in custody than take care of your little baby."

The woman went from there. Riri sat next to her stepbrother.

"Son, don't listen to that woman. He's just as crazy as Peter's. If it's true he wants to take this to the law, just let it go. Papi will definitely be looking for the best lawyer to handle the case."

"No, Ri. He was wrong, even though accidentally. Brother will still go to jail. How's this?" Crying as much.

Shortly afterwards, there was a knock on the door. Again the servant aunt called. This time his voice was more panicked, even he barged in without waiting for the reply from inside the room.

"Non, there are 2 cops coming. They're looking for Miss Cantika. How is this, does this have anything to do with the accident of that time?"

Riri and Cantika looked at each other. They are both confused and scared. What if Peter's mother really carried out her threat? If so, he quickly acted.

"So don't wait here, let me meet them."

Riri and the servant's aunt went downstairs. Both police officers also expressed their intention of arrival. It turned out to be true, Cantika was the one they wanted to meet.

Riri tried to cover up her stepbrother's whereabouts, but of course the policemen didn't believe her. Finally they forced their way into the room.

"Is this really his room?" ask a mature police officer.

Riri and Aunt waitress just lowered their heads. They actually refuse to provide information. But those cops can't be compromised.

"Miss Cantika, open the door. We know that you're inside." The voice of a big policeman.

Because it did not open, the door was finally broken. Riri and the servant's aunt were trembling. They were afraid that the police would arrest Cantika.

"Don't take me. I have a baby, sir." Cantika hugged her son tightly while shedding tears. He was standing near his bed.

"Sorry, Miss. You must come with us for inspection. There are many questions you should explain."

Duhhh, Papi same Mama why not go home too anyway? Is it jammed? I'm sure they're on the way here, after I tell you there's a cop looking for Cantika.

Riri was unable to hide her anxiety. The servant aunt was the same, she was incessantly saying prayers in her heart for everything to be fine.

"Follow us to the police station right now, Miss!" The police remained firm.

"No, Sir. I don't want to...!" Cantika is getting sobbing.

Unexpectedly, Madam Arata appeared again. Apparently the woman has not returned. He was waiting for the police outside the house.

"Attent, Sir. Can I talk to him?" ask the black-glassed woman.

"Please, Mistress. But not too long."

The woman approached and whispered. "Cantika, are you sure that I'm not messing around?"

"Please, Aunt. I don't want to go with them." Cantika.

The arrogant madam smiled smirked. "What's your decision?"

"I....."

"Ok, I won't stop the police from taking you."

"Good, Aunt. I'm willing to marry Peter."

Riri gawked, unable to say anything. He was confused as to what if there was in such a position.

Mrs Arata approached the police. "I'm sorry, I'll drop the case. We'll finish it off in a familial manner."

"You are, excuse me. Miss, I'm sorry if we've made you uncomfortable.

The police also left. The cunning madam smiled triumphantly. The trick really worked. Those two irresponsible law enforcers were indeed so meritorious to him. They can be easily controlled just for the sake of money.

"Prospective son-in-law, relax. I'm not going to rush. Your wedding will be in a month. But before that, please sign this dossier." He brought some paper out of his bag.

Cantika gives her son to Riri. He took the paper. Read it for a while because the Madam no longer wants to wait long.

"Sign now or I'll call the police again."

Cantika immediately complied with his request. He can't think carefully. The only one in her brain is her child. He must be free from this case so as not to be separated from the little one.
