The Desired Substitute
ABOUT ARINI
"Mother is indeed disappointed with you Son, but Mother will be more disappointed if you harm yourself will even throw away this innocent child," said Mira while stroking April flat stomach.
"Don't add to your sin by doing what will bring the wrath of God."
"Dad already talked to Bima and her parents. We agreed to marry you as soon as possible. But you can't stay together yet. After this child is born, you will be remarried. After that you can just stay together," continued Mira speaking with April even though April was on her back.
April felt the corner of her heart ache. Why is Raya always lucky compared to her. Juna does not even wait for her as she decides to run away in the heart of her marriage. Juna instead accepts marriage to Raya. And that makes April even more furious, after marriage, Raya's life is fine, even looks happy.
April thought Juna would treat Raya unkindly, but instead the opposite.
Today we are allowed to go home. Before returning home, he said goodbye to Mira and Budi. Mira is no longer being treated, as she was only in shock a few days ago.
But Mira and Budi are still alternating with Bima to keep April, given April's psychological condition that is still not stable.
Raya wants to go home to her in-laws. Juna agreed to that. Because there were no people in the unit, Nina was asked by Raya to come home to Risma.
Juna was back under the covers after performing the morning prayers. He deliberately held Raya to not get off the mattress. Hugged Raya tightly while playing her brown hair.
"Come on, it's noon. I want to help Mamah prepare breakfast," Raya's whine tries to let go of Juna's embrace but always fails.
"Awhile more. Mas is still sleepy," he said even up. calling his face on the niche of Raya's neck.
"Bagun now! I don't want to have a lazy husband," he said, patting Juna's left hand.
"Just a second. Five minutes. After that I'll take a shower."
It turns out Juna's promise is only a month. The five minutes requested became fifteen minutes. Half threatening, finally Raya freed from the winding of the anaconda. Raya smiled to herself when she remembered that she had almost kicked her husband's pride anaconda.
"Why Ma'am, come out of the room smiling? Was it good?" ledek Jani simultaneously came out of his room.
Raya just glared at her sister-in-law. He immediately headed to the kitchen to help prepare his first breakfast at home after returning from the hospital.
"Sit down, honey. Now try it, Mamah just made a cake."
Risma thrust a small plate containing selling klepon to the front of Raya. Risma also sat with him to enjoy his klepon cake after dawn.
"Nake?" ask him to the son-in-law
"Enak Mah's. Raya likes klepon cake the same lopis. Especially if you are told to melt brown sugar."
"Why do you look so much like him? Even your favorite food is the same," said Risma in her heart, looking at Raya who was greedy eating a round green cake covered with coconut grater.
After Juna left for his office, Raya immediately met Risma who was watering plants.
"Well, do you want to keep your promise?"
Risma knows what Raya means. He turned off the faucet, put a hose on the ground and told Nina to continue her work.
"Follow Mamah," he asked Raya.
Now they walk into the room. Risma closed the door to her room. He then walked to the table to pick up something and sat down next to Raya who had been sitting on the sofa first.
He knows what his in-laws hold. Two photo albums and one book that is exactly the same as the one Raya saw in Mira's room.
"Before, Mamah has asked permission from your father and mother. They should have told me all this. However, from a long time ago Mira was never able to talk to you dear."
Risma began to open a photo album in which there are photos of three beautiful girls. Just like Raya had seen before.
Before starting the story, Risma rubbed a photo of a sweet girl in hijab. His eyes immediately dewy, perhaps with a single shock, the clear fur had already crept past his cheeks.
Arini Galuh, a sweet, round-eyed girl who is very gentle in both her voice and her mannerisms. For twenty-nine years he had never dated or been seen with men. He takes great care of himself. He said if he wanted to be serious just apply. He did not want to fall into the motions.
For five years, he lived in the home of his uncle and aunt, because both of his parents were dead. His cousin named Budi is married to his best friend and has been blessed with a very beautiful daughter. But unfortunately, because of one thing or another, Mira who incidentally friend and wife of his cousin was to be removed her uterus, so that she could not get pregnant again.
Girls their age should be married and have children. All her best friends are married, even Risma, one of her best friends has a son who is four years old.
One day, Arini came to his two best friends. His eyes look puffy.
"What's up Rin? Do you have a problem?" ask Risma gently.
"Tell Rin, who knows we can help. Mother said all day yesterday you locked yourself in the room," said Mira who got information from her in-laws.
"I-I am .. I am pregnant," she said softly with her head lowered.
"What?"
"Astag."
"Don't joke Rin!" mira said she did not accept it.
Arini looked up at her two best friends. Her tears can no longer be blocked.
"I'm dirty. I sinned," said Yes on the sidelines Isak his cry.
Mira and Risma immediately embraced him. They were convinced that Arini could not have committed a great sin. He must be the victim of the depravity of the bajing@n man out there.
"Who?"
"Yes Rin, tell us who the dog@n guy is. Let's give it a calculation!" timpal Mira is fiery.
Arini shook her head. "He's a good man. He did not intentionally do it. That's not his will. It's all my fault."
"CK! Where there are good men who take away the sanctity of men."
Arini also told her two friends, so when she came home from work, she saw a man who was fainting on the edge of an alley near her uncle's house.
He tried to wake the man up. The man also regained consciousness but his behavior was strange. The man was seen rubbing his face and body. The man had told Arini to leave him. But Arini felt sorry for the man and wanted to help him.
Arini managed to take the man to the boarding house not far from where the man had fainted. The man immediately pushed Arini out of his room, but Arini wanted to help the man by providing water to compress the man's body, because when holding the man's hand it felt very hot.
Because of Arini's stubbornness that did not want to listen to the man to leave immediately, then there was something that they did not want, he said, because indeed the man is under the influence of stimulants that his friend put into his drink.
After being taken from her chastity Arini became a quiet girl. He was so scared. He disappointed his aunt and uncle. Moreover, he also committed a great sin. He was afraid of the wrath of his Lord.
"We need to meet the man. He has to take responsibility" Mira said.
Arini shakes. "Responsibility is not the right solution. It is only to cover up disgrace, but it cannot take away sin."
