The Mahar For Rani

In debt

That afternoon at a mansion there was a great debate between a married couple and their daughter.

Rania Salsabila is the daughter of a businessman who is on the verge of disappointment. The girl called Rani was asked by her parents to marry a man she did not know and she loved because of a debt.

"No dad, I don't want to. I can help mom and dad pay off debt by working. Work whatever I want, just don't marry me to him. He's married to me!" rani yelled against the impromptu match.

"How long do you want Rani to work? Two years? Three years? Hunt us all sleep under the bridge." asserted Rani's father named Lukman.

"Mother, talk to dad. Rani is not ready for forced marriage like this, mother is not a woman ? Must you know what it's like to be in my position?" pinta Rani to her mother, Laras.

"Sorry dear, this time you must obey our orders for the good of all of us. Do you have no pity on us, on your twin sisters Lili and Lala if we are all going to be homeless because we have no place to stay." Laras said.

"No, Rani won't. Why are you so brave of me? Why did you sell me to pay off our debt?" the girl cried out in a pang.

"Enough Rani. I don't want to argue anymore. We're not selling you, because that man is going to marry you. Your life will be assured there and we can get back our land letter. If you don't help us, then who else? All father's assets are gone, stay this house." Lukma told his eldest daughter.

"Where do you know if after marriage I will be happy? What kind of happiness does polygamy bring? Especially without love? Mother, let's answer. What kind of happiness?" Rani is still rebelling.

"Silence Rani!" Lukman shouted because he felt so upset with his daughter who had denied him since.

Laras tried to mediate the debate between the child and her husband.

"Patience, patience. We can speak well, not emotions like that" Laras told her husband.

"How can I be patient? Our only hope is Rani, but she won't understand. I can't afford to go on living if we have to live under a bridge." The three fell silent with their respective arguments until finally Laras broke the silence.

"Rani, forgive us if you think what we're doing is wrong. But son, try to understand the state of our family. We also never want to be in debt this much , but how else? I believe Mahar is a responsible man. He will not abandon you even if you are his second wife. You want to, son?" Laras tried to speak from the heart with the princess.

Braakhs, braach,

The girl closed the door of her room violently and made Lukman climb up.

"The child does not know himself!" Lukman blasphemes his own daughter.

"Yes, I'll persuade her again." Barrel tried to calm down.

"There's no time, ma'am, the day after tomorrow we have to get out of this house if Mahar hasn't married Rani." Lukman said with a panicked face.

Rani's family is in debt to Mahardika Permana, a married Ceo. The man gave Lukman complicated terms. If they can't pay the debt of one billion, then the day after they have to vacate the house unless Rani wants him to marry as a second wife.

Lukman was originally a successful businessman who had branch offices in several places, but he never expected that last year his business had a problem because of the government's new policy on the use of a product that was banned.

Finally the production process stopped suddenly, all employees were forced to stop by asking for severance rations. Not to mention the fine that must be paid by Lukman for the production of products that arrive at the ban is very large.

This forced Lukman to sell all his wealth assets, until only the remaining house they lived in. But because of the costs they incur is still a lot, then six months ago they were forced to pawn their land letter to Mahar with a value of 700 million to stretch to one billion because of interest and delay in paying. Because in the letter of agreement, the loan will be returned within three months.

"Rani, Rani come out son," cried Laras while banging on the door of his eldest daughter's room.

Rani, who is still hit by an inner blow for the unexpected matchmaking, seems lazy to open the door.

"What else is it, ma'am?"
