The Secret Marriage of a Couple of High School Children

The Reason We Marry

Degs..

Instantly the atmosphere in the private room became quiet. Everyone who was there looked shocked as if they still could not believe the words that had just come out of Ello's lips. Even including Ayura who did not expect that the day she was so afraid of finally arrived as well.

Afraid? Of course Ayura was scared, she was really scared by the disappointment and the martyrdom of her two favorite men. Imagining Papi Genta and Hiro angry alone has made Ayura's guts shrink.

But for now was not the time for Ayura to sink into her fear. Because he thinks what Ello is doing right now is the best. Ayura was fed up with the matchmaking or even the engagement plan that Papi Genta and papa Arya always touted.

"Honey, you don't talk weird," said Mama Rani after she could neutralize her shock. The others were still silent with their own thoughts. Especially Fano who currently shows an illegible facial expression.

"Don't you trust Ello?" ask Ello who can no longer cover his disappointed face. Because honestly until now only Mama Rani is the only hope of Ello.

"It's not a pity it's not like that" said Mama Rani who felt wrong. On the other hand he knew very well how Fano felt about Ayura. But the fact that Ello is married to Ayura really makes him confused. Because even though the feelings of Fano and Ello are currently equally important to him.

"You if you want to talk don't come from. It's only natural that we don't believe what you say. Because as parents, how can we not know the marriage of our own children," said father Arya who is as unreliable as others.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Ayura yourself. Whether she was Ello's wife or not" said Ello staring at his wife and followed everyone there.

"Ra, answer papi. Is that really what the kid said? Are you really married to him?" ask papi Genta.

"Sorry pi," Ayura replied softly by venturing out to return her papi gaze. But the next second he again bowed his head when he saw the disappointed face of Papi Genta. Even today Ayura feels to be the daughter of the evil papi Genta.

Papi Genta let out a rough sigh. He massaged his forehead which suddenly felt throbbing. Papi Genta knew that the apology that came out of his daughter's lips meant that Ayura confirmed Ello's words.

"But how can Ra? How can you get married without any parents knowing?" asked Papi Genta in a soft voice, he seemed to still not believe the facts he just knew.

"Sister.." whined Ayura while pulling the end of her husband's shirt. She hoped her husband would explain it to everyone there.

"Sorry before. Sorry because I was presumptuous to marry your daughter without asking for blessing first" said Ello Lirih.

"Tell me what really happened. Why did you guys suddenly get married without our consent. Is it because Ayura is already pregnant?" papi Genta asked softly, his chest felt very tight as the words came out of his lips.

"Fire....." Ayura widened her eyes in disbelief at the question her papa had spoken.

"I'm sorry om. But everything you're accusing of is not true at all. Even though we were married and Ayura was halal for me. But until now I have not dared to touch princess om at all. Not because I don't want to. But I realized I had to get the blessing of om and sister Hiro first. Because after all this time Ayura was raised with great difficulty. And how can I have Ayura completely without asking permission from her parents first," said Ello at length while trying to bravely look at her master's face.

"Then why? Why can you get married without my consent as Ayura's papi?" asked Papi Genta stared back at Ello who he just knew if he had become his son-in-law.

"We were forced to do it, but if possible to be honest until now I have never regretted it," replied Ello steady.

"Forced? Say it clearly" said Papi Genta, who wanted to know more clearly the facts about his daughter's marriage.

Ello took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He glanced at Ayura with a smile on his lips as if telling his wife that everything would be fine.

"At that time I accidentally met Ayura in Jogja," said Ello began his story with everyone who was now focused on staring at him.

Ello tells how they met. How can they stay in the same room. Ello also tells of Ayura who was sick and suddenly fainted. Until they were raided by joint officers. And finally Ello also told how they were finally married religiously in the village with all staff and some local residents witnessed.

Papi Genta who heard the story of Ello can only overcome his stupidity which at that time forced his daughter to be engaged to a man whom Ayura did not even know.

Honestly, Papi Genta felt guilty for Ayura, because at the age of seventeen he was married to the man he had just met.

Papi Genta understood why Ayura did not want to call him at that time. He knew that his daughter would be afraid of his anger.

Repeatedly Papi Genta could only rub his face violently.

"Bapi drink first," said Hiro thrust a glass of water to papi Genta. And without waiting long papi Genta immediately received a glass from Hiro and looked at the water until the toilet.

"You must not easily believe the words of our children Gen," said papa Arya opened his voice after a long silence and just listened to every speech of his youngest son.

"What do you mean? Don't you believe the words of the children?" tanya Papi Genta does not understand the words of papa Arya. It is not clear why they married.

"If it's just a word, everyone can say that too. We as parents also have to see real evidence not just nonsense," replied papa Arya.

Shortly afterwards Ello threw his phone right in front of papa Arya. "Don't you believe Ello? Papa wants proof? Papa can see for himself the video on the phone as evidence" said Ello, glancing at his phone on the table.
