The Forced Marriage
Quarrelling



The return of Dara and Azlan from Midwife, is greeted happily by Mamak and Sofia. Sofia immediately greeted the seemingly uninspired Dara. Sofia suspects that Dara is not excited due to nausea and dizziness. Sofia knows, it could be that dizziness is caused by low blood pressure, or vice versa.



"Yuk.... how did it go?" Sofia enthusiastic.


"Yukmu is pregnant, the gestational age is only two weeks," Azlan replied.


"Alhamdulillah. O Allah. Thank you Neng for giving Mamak the first grandchild. Mamak is happy to feel," said Mamak happily while welcoming Dara's hand. Dara smiled despite the forced smile.


"Bring your baby to Lan's room, bring food inside and then take the medicine," Mamak told the attention.


"What's the cure, Sofi here see?" pinta Sofia's. Azlan gave the medicine to Sofia's hand. There are three types of drugs, one of which is blood-boosting drugs, nausea relievers and pregnancy boosters.


"It's all drinkable but use a pause. But drink it when the symptoms of nausea and headache are felt, sister," suggested Sofia. Sofia knows because she's a prospective midwife.


Dara enters the room followed by Azlan. Azlan knew what Dara was feeling. Dara was disappointed that she did not want to get pregnant. Azlan was confused as to what to persuade Dara. Azlan sees Dara is currently being so sensitive, let alone accept the fact that Dara is now pregnant but Dara is not ready.



"Dec eat first... Brother get the rice." Dara did not say, she was silent and shed tears. Dara thought about why she should get pregnant when she was not ready.



Azlan came with a plate of rice and side dishes, as well as a glass of water.


"Wake up!" Azlan tries to help Dara wake up and sit her in bed.


"Eat, brother bribe," Azlan bargained. Dara still did not say, she kneaded her sick temple.


"Abang apologizes if Adek's pregnancy makes Adek sad," said Azlan. "But, we have to thank him Deck. We must not be sad, let alone regret. If we are not grateful, then we deny the favor of the Almighty" Azlan said.


"Abang doesn't know what Dara's feeling, you're good to talk. Not Dara is not grateful, but Abang knows for himself that Dara is not ready to get pregnant. Why when Dara wanted to take the Pill at that time, Abang forbid it. Though Dara did not want to get pregnant," said Dara upset.



"But now it's over, Dek. Want to be flanked again?" Dara did not reply, in her mind there was only a feeling of sadness. Disappointed with Azlan.



"Eat first, Deck. Abang pity Adek and the fetus Adek," persuaded Azlan while thrusting dishes containing rice and side dishes.


"Become unwilling," he refused and went up to the bed and laid down his body.


"Don't do that Deck, we sin if we allow ourselves to be starved while in front of our eyes there is food," Azlan said.


"Will you ask what exactly makes you not want to get pregnant?" ask Azlan curiously.


"Not ready because it's young or because there's something else?" insistence. Azlan was still waiting for Dara's answer. But Dara still did not answer.


"Or... Adek did not want to get pregnant from Abang, because Adek hated the treatment of Abang first?" Azlan's question still hasn't been answered by Dara.


While Dara cried in silence, all Azlan's questions made Dara even more depressed and sad.


"Or, you really don't want to get pregnant from Brother?" azlan. "Could be the reason you delay getting pregnant, because actually you do not want to get pregnant and have children from Abang," immediately Azlan's question that this makes Dara more depressed and sad. Azlan had already accused him of a no-no. The more tears Dara made.


"Because you don't want to, brother, come out. Dara doesn't want to be near Brother. Brother only hurt Dara with all the questions Brother cornered," said Dara while sobbing.


"Alright if Adek does not want to eat, Brother just reminded him. Now there is only Adek who determines whether or not the fetus is in the womb Adek, if Adek still does not want to eat." Azlan stood up and walked out of the room. His heart was sad and disappointed with Dara who refused to eat.



"At the exit of the room, Mamak and Sofia were still in the living room.


" Lan... What's wrong, Neng Dara won't eat?" She asked as if she knew what was happening in the room.


"Because they don't want to eat Mak, Azlan wants to get some warm ginger tea" Azlan replied. Mamak and Sofia looked at each other curiously.


Azlan went back into the room while carrying a cup of warm ginger tea that he had brewed. Azlan now saw Dara already leaning on the head of the bed. Azlan felt sad and disappointed to see Dara still had not eaten.



"Sir.. try drinking this warm ginger tea first. This can make the nausea and dizziness go away," Azlan thrust out the warm ginger tea cup. But Dara brushed it off, automatically the cup came off and spilled on the mattress. Azlan.



"Geez, Deck....!" Azlan picked up the cup that crashed on the mattress and dried the spilled ginger tea water with a cloth.



"Abang once again apologize if this pregnancy is not Adek expected, Abang know the mistakes of Brother in the past so Adek like this. Brother so envious of Reno, when Reno forced to ask to take you home, Adek want and you can be very close. Now that Adek is pregnant with Abang, Adek says he is not ready as if Adek does not want to conceive a baby brother," said Azlan Long make Dara immediately emotional and do not accept Azlan's accusations. Dara slammed the cup that was still on the mattress so that it hit the wall and his voice sounded out of the room.



"Prank....!"


"Everything is not right, Dara did not not want to get pregnant from Abang. And instead of Dara would rather be ushered Bang Reno and be close to her than pregnant from Abang. Brother misunderstood. Abang outrageous accused Dara like that....!" shouted Dara fiercely while shedding tears.


Azlan was stunned for a moment, he did not expect his words to hurt Dara so much that they shed tears. Sofia and Mamak who were outside the room approached Dara's room with a feeling of anxiety.



Mamak enters followed by Sofia, with a panicked look Mamak ambushes Dara and embraces her. Dara crying in Mamak's arms. He really felt cornered by Azlan's remark. Mamak gave Azlan the code to get out first. Azlanpun obeyed while thinking hard about Dara's anger.



Mamak, hugged Dara affectionately and let Dara shed her tears until it stopped. Finally Dara's cries stopped, then Mamak slowly began to ask about what Dara was feeling.



"Shed all Neng Dara's unkempts on Mamak and Sofia here, Mamak did not want when we returned your village there is still a problem. Mom wants my daughter-in-law to be okay. Let's talk about what Neng Dara's sadness and disappointment is. Mamak is ready to listen," said Mamak very carefully and motherly so that makes Dara a little calm.



While Azlan was pensive, he felt guilty for cornering Dara. Azlan was afraid that Dara's emotional and hysterical attitude was affecting her pregnancy.


"I'm sorry Brother, Deck... Brother is wrong, Brother is too cornering you," whispered Azlan regretfully.
