Trying To Be Faithful

Raden's

Arriving at Raden's parents' house, Hasna and Raden rush in. The atmosphere inside felt so tense. Raden's mother's face looked so upset, Airlangga sat down while bowing his head.

While the woman named Angela was sitting flanked by her parents.

"Sorry we arrived late" Raden said. "I'm Airlangga's father and this is his mother." Raden pointed to Hasna.

"Step-mother to be exact" said Angela Ketus.

"La ..." Angela's mother patted her child's thigh gently, mostly exposed to nowhere.

"Why come to my mother's house, sir, Mom? I am not Airlangga's parents."

"There was no one at home, so we came here." Angela replied.

"Where do you know you have to come here? You know my whole family?"

"That's it."

"Why did you let Airlangga act this far, Den? You're becus not taking care of the child? How humiliating!" Mother's angry.

"Sorry, Mom."

"Sir, this is not a mistake. It's purely my fault."

"Close your mouth! It's enough that your presence has put my family to shame, now you're following in your mother's footsteps."

"Mom, enough."

"Enough what? Anyway I don't want to know about this problem of yours, if you need to just remove the content."

"His son, don't want to! I don't want to abort this baby. Airlangga must be responsible!" Angela angry.

"On what basis are you so sure it's Airlangga's son?" ask Hasna.

"Yes, obviously, this is his son, Airlangga, who has impregnated me."

"You sure?" asked Hasna again with her intimidating look. Angela was a little nervous over Hasna's attitude.

"If it is indeed Airlangga's son, then I as his mother will force him to take full responsibility, but it must be proven first that it is really his son."

"meaning?" ask Angela's mother. "You doubt my son?"

"Yes, I doubt it's my granddaughter."

"My son is not a cheap woman!" yelled Angela's mother.

"Why did she get pregnant out of wedlock?" Hasna doesn't want to lose.

"My son said he was unconscious because he was drunk, plus it was the first time he drank alcohol, how could it be when he realized he was in the hotel room alone with you? Were you also so drunk that you were unconscious and suddenly there?"

"That's ...." Angela nervous.

"Or did someone deliberately bring you there unconscious?"

"Yes, maybe so."

"Then how can an unconscious person have intercourse?"

"That's .. that's ...."

"Look, if your daughter's a good woman, I don't think she'll go to the club last night drunk. Wasn't that Solehah woman staying home at night?"

"Anyway, your child should be responsible for my child's pregnancy."

"But DNA testing would be risky for the fetus."

"really. So we wait until the baby is born. If it proves he's Airlangga's son, then I'll marry them both."

"You're a girl, aren't you? Do you understand Angela? How she should bear the shame of her pregnancy without a husband and without marriage."

"Why should I be ashamed? He is an adult, he should know what risks he will bear if he dares to give up his honor to men. Why do they always have to cover up by marrying them in a state of pregnancy? Let them accept the consequences of what they do."

"Mom, sorry. Maybe you can talk like that because your son is a boy, yes like the word there is no use even though he has had relationships many times, then what about our child?"

"Who said? You all don't see how Airlangga got his punishment from his grandmother. He is even considered a disgrace here. But it's okay, adultery is indeed a great sin and disgrace for the family, I won't defend him this time."

"Don't be selfish, Mom. Please think of our son. After all, she had to marry Airlangga so that people wouldn't insult her." Angela's father kept begging.

Hasna remained silent.

"Well, I'll marry them."

"Mas." Hasna was shocked to hear Raden's words.

"But there are consequences that you have to bear. If the child is born and the DNA test results say it is not the child of Airlangga, then I will sue you as defamation and do not please. Remember that!"

"But, Om."

"You don't have to be afraid, if it's Airlangga's son, then you should be ordinary," Hasna said annoyed. Hasna had no faith in the woman from the beginning.

"Then what if this kid is really Airlangga's kid?" ask Angela.

"I'll treat you and your child like family." Raden answered.

"Do the marriage religiously only. I don't want this news to go anywhere. Now, you all leave my house." Raden's mother asked everyone there to leave.

"Come, Airlangga." Raden asked Airlangga out of the house.

"Come, son." Hasna grabbed Airlangga's hand.

"Mother ... Brother's sorry." Airlangga suddenly fell at Hasna's feet.

"Eh, Bang." Hasna sat down, asking Airlangga to wake up but Airlangga was silent.

"It's okay, brother. If you're not wrong, God will help you in his own way" Hasna said, hugging Airlangga.

"Hasna, come here." Raden's mother waved her hand.

"Wait a minute, yeah, Bang. Mother go there first."

Hasna rubbed Airlangga's back before she approached her future father-in-law.

"What's up, Mom?"

"You don't focus too much on this, just think about your marriage and Raden's."

"Yes, Mom."

"Yes, go there."

"Please excuse me, ma'am."

Hasna kissed the back of Raden's mother's hand.

"Come, bang." Hasna grabbed Airlangga's hand and brought him home.
