Unplanned Teenage Pregnancy
Chapter 9's
Tonight, amid the falling of the great waters that ached when they hit the skin and the roar of the glittering whip of an angel, Felix walked down the dark alley, not infrequently his feet stepped on a watery hole.
The rain covered her tears, the dark disguised her delicacy. He obeyed the father's order to ask for mercy and not return home.
Arriving in front of Lira's house, her body was fixated, how she should start, what to say. This fear killed him from within like a spear of his heart. He should have come with his hands and accompanied by parents, not this condition that is soaking wet with a shivering body.

"A-assalamualaikum." Little Felix's greetings let the sound of rain match his voice.
Tok tok tok tok
Knock it harder.
No one opened the door, this heavy rain left everyone deaf for a moment.
The man was surprised when the lightning struck even harder, he immediately crouched his ears shut and closed his eyes tightly.
He's paralyzed, that slowly killing him.
He lost his tough self.
The anger of his parents makes him forget that this only child has a little trauma with the sound of lightning or maybe they no longer care.

This time he knocked on the glass window in the house.

Not long after that the door finally opened.
"What's up?" Ask Mom.
"S-I'm Felix, Lira's friend."
"If you're asleep, what's up to this rain?"
"S-I want to see Lira."
"Then wait a minute, I'll call Lira first."
Without waiting for a response from Felix, Lira's mother quickly closed the door and locked it again.
"Ra, Lira, wake up son, there's someone who's looking for you." Said the mother patting the feet of the sleeping Lira.
"Emmm?"
"Mother is afraid people will rob, rain like this." Hearing that explanation, Lira immediately got up and got out of her bed.
"Mom didn't let her in, did you? robbing really is mom."
"She, nda, but the rich are still waiting outside, she said she'd like to see you."
"Who?" Tanya Lira approached the window and peeked out. "Felix.he's gonna do something." Benak Lira's.
"Geez! Felix!" Said Lira hurriedly opening the door in surprise to see Felix who was suddenly staggering.
After helping Felix in, mom told him to change clothes with Dad's clothes. While Lira was in the kitchen making warm tea.
"Ra, what's wrong with you? It's already night." Mother asked, the problem is only the two of them in this house, he was afraid if Felix had evil intentions.
"Later Lira tanyain Bu." since then Lira tried to calm down, reassuring herself that her current negative thoughts would not come true.
While carrying a glass of tea, Lira continued to look into Felix's eyes asking for an explanation first without the mother knowing.
"Whose name? how to rain." Ask the friendly mother.
"Aunty, I want to be honest, I.." not yet finished talking, the man was again busy holding back his tears that were suddenly about to fall.
"Why son?" Wonder of the mother. How not, this is the first time Lira friends visit home let alone men and in the rain like this. As important as what?
Lira just kept quiet, also holding back her tears, she had already started to understand what Felix's purpose was here for, but really her fear made her silence and sculpt.
"Lira's pregnant with my Auntie's son." Felix said quickly.
"You. Pregnant?!" Ask Mom.
The lira did not answer, her crying became even more so.
"Rubber Lira?" Ask the mother again in a high voice, she grabbed her child's shoulder. No, he did not fall tears even though his eyes were full of water.
Lira still did not want to answer, but did not her cries answer everything? Why did he not avoid crying?
"O Allah..What sins? Why did it come to this?" Mom hugged Lira. "Mas, why would Mas take me too if this is the end?" Mom's own monologue.
"Ra, Lira you're really Mom's son, why are you so son?" Ask mom while wagging Lira's shoulders.
Truly seeing the condition of his mother like this Lira is really sorry, he is also afraid if his mother's disease relapses.
"Where are your parents?" Asked the weak mother by still hugging Lira tightly.
"S-I was expelled."
"Now honestly tell me everything about why this happened, Lira mom killed herself if you lied to mom." Threaten the mother tried to toughen up and try to find a middle way of the problem.
At that time they explained what really happened, both from the point of view of Lira and Felix's own point of view, he also told how his parents knew this problem.
"Tomorrow I'd like to meet your parents. You're harassed? Just stay here, but you sleep here, in the living room." Mother's final. After saying that, he immediately returned to the room.
The lira also without saying a word returned to the room and closed the door loudly.
Felix stayed in the living room alone with his chaotic feelings of fire.

The next morning, Mother, Lira and Felix were already on their way to the man's house. Although Felix is currently in a fever, he still tries to accompany Lira and her mother to his home.
Under these circumstances, one of the parties must give in and the worst is to be blamed. As Lira's mother did, she ignored her ego to come straight and talk about the matter to the male parents. Roughly, asking the male party to marry his only daughter. Getting them married is the best solution.
The door is still not open. El has been squeezed many times, Felix has also guessed it from the beginning, it is still morning, the housekeeper and his mother must be busy in the kitchen.
Like a stranger who never set foot in the house, Felix just waited to be opened the door, but in the past, if the door is locked he will go to the side of the house knocking on the window of his maid room and ask to open the door.
Until finally the big door made of teak wood was opened.
"Mother, father, they're coming." Shouted the maid when she saw that they were the ones coming. The maid also did not immediately tell them to come in, when she saw Mother and Father Felix down the stairs then she let them in.
The guest room was very tense. Lira's mother was like a guest with two children, because Felix was sitting parallel to her facing the host.
"Sir, Mom how is this? Poor our son." Mom opened the conversation.
"Is this pregnant?" Ask Dad while highlighting Lira.
"It's good to listen to the kids first." Continue mother.
"Yes I've been listening."
Mother then looked at Lira, asked her to explain everything first, not forgetting she apologized to them and then continued by Felix.
"Look, well Felix, the mother's son is also young. Still have to demand knowledge. If you're here with the intention of holding us accountable, we must be responsible. But, Felix is still too young to marry, so we suggest the mother's son marry his Om Felix." Obviously Father.
Hearing that mom was surprised not playing. Obviously the Lira is also the one who is harmed, why it seems as if only Felix should be protected and removed from this matter.
"His Om name is Felix, Arbani Setiawan, he's my younger brother. Not married either." Obviously Dad to convince Mom.
"I'm here to talk carefully so that all parties draw, no one feels benefited or harmed. With ease you take your child out of this problem and let your brother replace him. Sir.if I had to die first all this back to how I was willing to sir." Obviously the mother who after that shed her tears, felt disappointed.
Everyone was silent, the mothers were busy crying. Felix was also shrouded in anger and disappointment with his parents' attitude. While Lira keeps saying "I don't wanna be alive, I just wanna die right now."
"Mom, today it's enough to be here, we'll talk again. To trap them let me handle it."
"When will Sir? My son is pregnant with my grandson, his stomach is starting to grow sir. Me, I'm waiting for you tomorrow at my house. I beg you to think also of my son Sir don't be selfish." Mother said with her cry.
Seeing her mother's condition that was not okay, Lira took her mother to get out of the house and go home.
Felix who wanted to come with them was prevented, his father forced his hand to lock him in the room. And tell the maid to hurry
door closing.
