The Brondong Tajir

Chapter 96 Ditodong Married

Harry was very surprised to hear what his father Rani had to say. He never thought because he drove Rani home from the village even being held in marriage by Mr. Iwan. Harry took a deep breath before he answered what Mr. Iwan was asking.

"I'm sorry, sir. Actually me and Rani have no relationship whatsoever. I was just told by Sevia to drive Rani home. Besides, my divorce is not done yet" Harry refused.

"If Nak Harry is still going through a divorce, I don't think it's a problem. You can get married religiously. As long as people don't judge the no-no with your closeness. The problem is that the entire village is already stirred up that Rani is close to her husband's friend Sevia. Plus, now Harry's son is coming to deliver Rani. You do not want the image of Rani as a bad widow in the eyes of the community," said Mr. Iwan at length.

What am I supposed to do? Rani and I don't love each other. I'm afraid my marriage is the same fate as Nadine. But I also can't allow Rani's image to be bad in the eyes of society, Harry said.

Seeing Harry who was silent did not say anything, Mr. Iwan also patted Harry's shoulder quite tight while saying, "How is Harry? What ready?"

"Yes, sir, yes" Harry replied stuttering in surprise.

"Thank God, later when Rani comes home from the hospital we have her wedding," Mr. Iwan breathed a sigh of relief. Very different from Harry who grew dumb with what was said by Mr. Iwan.

...***...

Two days have passed, now Rani has been allowed to go home. While the baby is still in the hospital. Mr. Iwan and his wife deliberately kept Harry from coming home. She did not tell Rani about her impromptu marriage to Harry. Rani is only asked to wear a white robe and tells her to rest in the room.

"Rani, before Mom and Dad apologized if they didn't tell you first. But I hope you can accept it. Harry's son will marry you religiously today" said Bu Asti.

"What mother mean? I married Harry? How can you, Mom? Harry already has a wife despite their relationship is not good now" asked Rani wonder.

"Son Harry is ready to marry you. He said he was taking care of his divorce" Ms. Asti replied. "Mother hope, you don't embarrass our family by suddenly refusing to marry Nak Harry."

Holy hooch! Why do I feel sorry to decide to give birth in the village. If finally forced to marry him. Even though he's nice, but I don't have any feelings. I still love Mas Diwan. I'm sorry, Mum! It's not my intention to forget you immediately, Rani.

Rani, who was engrossed in her thoughts, was startled by the voice coming from the living room. Earlier he thought, a lot of people in his house because they want to see him who just came home from the hospital. But apparently, to watch the wedding kabul ijab.

"I received the marriage and marriage of Rani Karenina with a dowry of ten million rupiah cash paid in cash." Harry loudly said kabul ijab because he read from the cheat so that with just one breath, now Rani legitimately became his wife.

"How's witness? Is legitimate?"

"Sah" compact who was present to watch the event ijab kabul.

"Alhamdulillah." Mr. Kyai who married Harry and Rani also directly guided the do'a for newlyweds so that the household was built mawadah warahmah.

While Rani is only able to close her eyes to face the reality that exists. There was fear in her heart that Harry was not as good as her late husband who could accept her for who she was and always patiently deal with her.

Mom, may my current husband be as good as you and love our son. I'm sorry, because this body already belongs to someone else, Rani's inner self.

Rani was invited out by her mother to sungkem to her husband. Nervous, she followed what her mother said. Not much different from Rani, Harry also looks nervous when Rani takes his hand and kisses the back of Harry's hand. Both of them looked awkward, making everyone who saw them unable to bear to tease him.

"Kang Bule, be patient! His first night later after Rani finishes puerperium," seduced neighbor Rani.

"Origin don't be obscene,"

They tease each other so much that Rani decides to go back to her room, while Harry asks for permission to go out for a while because there is a phone call from Dave.

"Hello Dave, what's wrong?" ask Harry after connecting.

"What did you say? How many days has it been, why haven't you come back here yet? I'm dizzy facing your wife and in-laws who keep asking where you and your baby are" Dave said across the street.

"Tomorrow I'm back, today I can't go back there."

"I don't want to know, anyway tomorrow morning you should already be in Jakarta. I don't want to be disputed. Come home soon!"

Clique

Dave immediately disconnected his phone connection, making the newlyweds only able to sigh deeply. Harry went straight to the room where Rani was.

"Rani, it looks like I should be right back. You're okay if I stay?" ask Harry.

"It's okay, Harry. You've been here too long, surely your work has piled up. I'm sorry for keeping you stuck in this marriage" Rani said.

"It's okay, let's just say I've kept my promise to your late husband. If you need anything, feel free to tell me. Oh yes, I've transferred for your monthly money," said Harry.

"Thank you Harry" said Rani.

"Later I'll pick you up after my business with Nadine is done. I don't want you to be labeled as a liar if they find out about our marriage." Harry stared fixedly at Rani's face which still looked pale.

"Yes, it's okay! My son is still in the hospital, can't be taken home yet" said Rani. "Harry, is it true that you're getting a divorce from Nadine. Why why anyway? Didn't Nadine just give birth?"

"I haven't taken care of my divorce. But I'm gonna end my marriage. He's having an affair" Harry replied with a bow of his head.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to ...." Rani did not continue because Harry had cut her off.

"It's okay! Rani, you want to take care of my son too? Because I'm gonna take custody of my son. I hope, we won't differentiate the two of them. I will love your daughter and I ask you to love my son. I'll find a nurse to help you take care of them both." Harry still did not take his eyes off Rani who was sitting leaning on the head of the bed.

"I'll love Gavin. Thank you for being a father figure to my daughter" Rani said.

"Call Daddy, Rani. Not dad" Harry protested.

"Well, we both learn to accept each other."
