TRAPPED Marriage

Must pass

That day drizzled, my steps so fast down the sidewalk.

"Sand... Wait a minute.." Rizal's voice echoed..

But I don't care if I keep walking fast to get home. No, I didn't come home, but I stopped by the hospital.

That day I first heard my dad had a heart attack. And in critical time.

" Dad how's mom?"

Mother just shook her head, "not yet able to look, still critical" Mother who is usually cheerful, suddenly looks lackluster.

I was a teenager, I didn't know what to do.

"Don't keep tailing me" I started to drive Rizal away from my side.

Actually, it's because of hate or other classic reasons. It's just that at that time I was not ready to accept the fact that my father suffered from heart disease due to alcohol addiction in nature.

I intend to keep the matter until the end of my High School, which is only one semester away. But damn it I have a girlfriend who always tailed and took refuge under my influence.

Rizal was a good man at the time. However, he also could not protect me if another friend had bullied me because of my father's Alcoholism.

And unfortunately I was not good at lying, especially with the financial decline of our family at that time. I'll have a hard time answering questions.

"Why don't you come with ningkring again?"

"Your father has a heart attack why? Feel healthy - healthy?"

Thahaan... Just six months left, pretty alone in the library. And time will pass by itself.

Only, not so with Rizal.

"I'm tired of you following along, so the guy's gedein body, nikin macho let's not be disturbed mulu"

"We take care of each other's business?"

I left the rizal glued to see my keoergian. And since then we have not been bashful.

Actually, if Rizal realized, I also began to rarely talk to others and began to prefer to be alone.

And finally I left the village, helping my family make a living in the metropilitant city...

Nowow.

I stood up slowly and began to read once again Toby's short message.

"We're fine. And everything went well. Me and our baby miss you too" I wrote to Toby.

As I recall from the gossip when I returned home, Rizal still often searched for me, even had to chase me to the airport once.

But I think between us is just a monkey's love. And I feel like he should have forgotten me and started a life with someone else. Like I am now, even though the current choice is the result of forced destiny. Uhf..

"Can I have some warm sweet tea" I started sitting in the lounge and hoping for a break.

"They're all gone?" askaku laginke Tia who after delivering my order to the pantry.

"Yes... They left immediately after leaving the meeting room" Tia replied "Is mom okay?"

I nodded.. "Just catch a cold" I lied. Because my pregnancy should still be a few days away. It will be announced when Toby returns from the tour. Until then, this baby was still a secret.

It was the first time his father had a heart attack. The wheels of economy are turning. Sandra worked for two years and then went to college. So there is no reproach to meet Rizal later in the day.

But who would have thought the man was still looking for certainty until now.
