The Secret Behind Marriage

Valuable Opportunity

Anton and Risa are both shocked to hear what Mr. Toha has just said.

"Why are you surprised? You should be happy because you will no longer do adultery like you just did,"

"Sir Toha, listen to me. All you see is a misunderstanding, me and he are not doing anything" explained Risa again to dismiss the accusations of Mr. Toha.

"Oh my goodness Risa, what kind of misunderstanding? We saw Neng Risa making out with this man" continued the man who was next to Mr. Toha and pointed at Anton.

And the man was none other than Mr. Samsul vice chairman of RT who had accompanied Mr. Toha around the neighborhood to ask for monthly dues to each citizen.

"And it is true what Mr. Toha said, Risa neng must marry this man, for the good of Risa himself and also the good of this environment. Neng Risa knew exactly no, the rules in this neighborhood of residence. And Neng Risa can't refuse to marry again and take responsibility for what Risa just did."

"Can't be so sir, me and–"

"Neng Risa shut up!" mr. Toha's orders stopped Risa's remarks.

And Mr. Toha is now staring at Anton who is standing right next to Risa.

"For you, are you ready to marry Neng Risa?"

"I'm definitely ready. If it's for the good of Risa and this environment," replied Anton who did not want to lose this precious opportunity.

Risa turned to Anton when she heard what she had just said.

"Sir Anton, what did you say?"

However, Anton did not answer Risa's question.

Because in the bottom of his heart was so happy, when the two middle-aged men who were still in front of him, said he wanted to marry himself and also Risa.

And Anton will always be grateful because the rubber ball he stepped on could deliver himself to have Risa forever.

"Good, that means you're the man in charge. And when are you going to marry Neng Risa?"

"Tomorrow." answered Anton with certainty. "And I'll take care of all the necessary files,"

"Sir Anton. What did you say this?"

"Neng Risa's gone, Neng Risa should be happy. Because this man wants to be responsible for what he has done, and he has also saved the good name of Risa and also this environment," continued Mr. Toha.

"What's this?" ask the middle-aged woman who just entered the house while holding a little girl who is none other than Nana Risa's daughter.

"Mama," called Nana who immediately ran over to Risa.

Likewise with the middle-aged woman who is none other than Mother Ria, Risa's biological mother. Who walked up to Nana, while staring at Risa, Anton and also Mr. Toha and Mr. Samsul alternately.

"What's up, Toha?" mother Ria asked curiously, when she saw the look of her fourth face that looked tense.

"Good Bu Ria came. Neng Risa's already breaking the rules in this neighborhood with adultery,"

"What!" Ria's mother was so shocked to hear what Mr. Toha had just said. "What do you mean Toha?"

And Mr. Toha immediately told him what he saw, and also said if Anton will marry Risa tomorrow to be responsible for what he has done.

"What did Mr. Toha say was true?"

"Ti–"

"True ma'am, and I will take responsibility for what I have done" Anton replied interrupting Risa's remarks.

"Thank you son Anton" said Ria's mother, carving a smile and holding Anton's hand in both hands. "Mom knows Son Anton's a good man,"

Risa immediately shook her head hearing the mother's words that were not as she had imagined. Then Risa carried the princess towards her room, leaving everyone without saying anything.

Because Risa was sure, whatever her defense would never be in the press, when the mother was so enthusiastic about hearing Anton who would marry her.

After the departure of Mr. Toha, Mr. Samsul and also Anton from his home, after discussing the wedding tomorrow. Ria's mother smiled happily to find the princess will marry again after four years of widows.

Although she knew this marriage was not the desire of the princess, but Ria's mother was so enthusiastic because the man who would marry the princess was Anton.

The man that Ria's mother already knew, and Ria's mother also knew that Anton had loved Risa for a long time.

When Anton several times came to visit the house and asked permission to approach Risa.

Ria's mother knocked on the door of the princess' room before going inside. And stepped her feet near the bed, where Risa was laying down her body while hugging Nana to put her to sleep.

Then Ria's mother sat on the edge of the bed, right behind the princess. When Ria's mother found out Risa had not slept, only Nana had fallen asleep.

"Anton loves you so much Risa, mom knows very well she's one of the good guys who deserves to be your companion,"

"But I haven't heard what really happened, because what Mr. Toha said was not true, me and also–"

"Mother doesn't want to hear your defense," continued Ria's mother cut off the princess' words. "Mother is so happy you're finally getting married again,"

"Selfish mother!" exclaiming Risa who now moved from her sleep. "Mom doesn't understand my feelings,"

"What feeling? Is it because you don't love Anton?"

"Yes, and I don't want to marry a man I don't love,"

Ria's mother moved from her seat after hearing what the princess had just said, then looked towards Risa who was also staring at her.

"You selfish Ris, look at your son. Nana needs a father, and I'm sure Anton will be a good father figure for Nana. And for love, that love will come with time, and I'm sure, you'll love Anton later. Not love in the beginning but after it hurts, like your love for your ex-husband, do you remember what he did to you?"

"Enough Ma'am, I don't want to discuss the past" continued Risa who immediately got out of bed and stepped her feet out of the room.

When Risa heard what the mother said. If she used to love her ex-husband very much, but her love is reciprocated by harsh treatment.

"Yes God. What am I supposed to do? Should I marry Mr Anton? Or should I go to avoid this marriage?" asked Risa when she was outside the room.

"Go away, and never come back!" exclaimed Ria's mother who had come out of the princess' room and heard clearly what she had just said.
