You, Me And Our Memories

Caught

"You still deny that this is your son?" Virda.

"Well, I'll tell Diya and your parents that I'm pregnant with your child" Virda said.

"Oh yes please. I'm not afraid of the threat you're giving me. After all you will also feel embarrassed later" said Ivan again threatened.

"Sembarrassed? What the hell does that mean? Does she think that I'm ashamed to have done that to her and admit that I'm pregnant?" Virda wondered.

"Ah, I will not be ashamed. Importantly, I'll say it all in front of Diya and aunt and om I'm pregnant with Ivan's child. It's up to them to think about me. Obviously, I'll get Ivan and Diya will leave Ivan" he added.

"What do you think, right? Do you hesitate to say everything? Please say whatever. But clearly, I will never be responsible for what happened to you" Ivan asserted.

"You're cruel Van, you're just like any man who just wants to feel good and doesn't want to be responsible if it's like this" said Virda with teary eyes.

"I'm sorry, Vir, I'm not the kind of man you said I was. I will be responsible if I do it. But the problem is I never touch you" said Ivan.

"Have you forgotten that night we did it?" Virda.

"Nothing happened to us that night"

"We did do it. We both like to do that"

"Son, I've never done it with you. I consider you my own sister. There's no way I'm tarnishing my own sister" Bela Ivan again.

"Keep you think I'm a woman what the hell is doing that with another man?"

"Yes, that's his reality. You did it with another man and you held me accountable for what I didn't do"

"Okay, whatever you want to say. Clearly this is your son. And the evidence is also quite clear that the results of the DNA test" said Virda.

"I'll tell all that to your mom and dad. And I will also make sure that Diya will know this as well. Surely Diya will leave you" added again.

"Come, but don't get me wrong if you will be ashamed of yourself" said Ivan.

"And I made sure they'd hate you" she added.

"You'll be ashamed of Van. Not me" said Virda left Ivan.

***

"Virda, why are you gathering us here?" Ask Ajeng who was surprised that Virda suddenly invited them to meet.

"There's something I want to talk to all of you about. This is an important issue regarding my future and Ivan's" Virda said.

Degs....

Diya's heart was pounding quickly at what Virda was talking about just now.

"What's? Ivan and Virda? Concerning his future?" What does all this mean?" Inner Diya.

"What do you mean?" Ask Herman.

"We don't understand what you're talking about" he added.

Ivan just sat back and did not respond to what Virda said.

Feeling afraid will not Virda who says that himself alone pregnant her child.

"Van, what did Virda say just now? What the hell is going on?" Diya's whisper to Ivan.

"Let her explain everything, baby. After that, I will explain the truth. Just follow his game" Whispered Ivan back to his wife.

Diya looked at Ivan in confusion.

"Dear it first. The point is you don't believe what he says. Let me show you the truth" said Ivan.

Diya smiled blandly and disturbingly understood. The girl who has now been titled as his wife Ivan is indeed confused. However, she believes in her husband that everything will be fine.

"Om, auntie, Diy, you all should know what happened to me" Virda began the story.

Everyone there looked at each other and still wondered what was really going on.

However, Ivan still remained relaxed and acted calmly as if there was nothing to fear anymore like before.

"I was sick at the time. And I asked Ivan to accompany me in my apartment. You know for yourself, I don't have anyone's acquaintance here. Only om, aunty and Ivan that I know and have considered as my own family" said Virda look sad expression.

"So that night we made a fatal mistake. And Diya also knows about it" said Virda.

Diya was shocked to hear what Virda said.

"What did it mean at that time? Which Virda sent me a photo of his being with Ivan. But that's not all just bullshit. And if it's true that they do, it's not him who says they've done it a lot. But why did he just peg the incident only that night" Inner he wondered.

"Fatal? Fatal how?" Ask Herman.

"Me and Ivan already, already..." Virda said acting sad to not be able to continue his words.

"What already? What's Diy been about?" Ask her to panic.

"Van what's it?" Ask Ivan.

"Just ask Virda ma. He knows what's really going on" said Ivan, remaining relaxed as he clasped the finger of his wife sitting beside him.

Virda covered her face. He hid his face that was filled with his crocodile tears.

"Me and Ivan have had a husband and wife relationship" Virda said.

Degs...

It felt like lightning in broad daylight had struck the hearts of everyone who was there.

"Wait" Diya spoke.

"Didn't you say that you did that a lot when you were in college. But why do you benchmark that incident only happened that night" Tanya Diya began to investigate.

However, she must be able to defend her husband and maintain the honor of her husband so as not to be accused of doing anything wrong. Moreover, this concerns the self-esteem of her husband.

"Only am I pregnant with her child because of that incident" Virda replied loudly.

Degs...

Back they all felt shocked by what Virda explained.

"Pregnant?" Repeat Ajeng.

"Van, is it true what Virda said?" Ask Ajeng.

"If you don't believe me, this is a DNA test that we did yesterday" Virda handed the DNA test results to Ajeng.

Ajeng's eyes rounded reading the results of the DNA test. It was as if he could not believe that his only child had done such a crazy thing with Virda. Blaster girl who has been considered as her own brother.

"Ivan doesn't want to be in charge of this kid, he doesn't want to marry me because he doesn't believe that you I'm carrying are his children. DNA tests have shown that this child is his son" Obviously Virda was crying because he felt like he was a victim of a man like Ivan who did not want to take responsibility for what happened to him.

Diya looked at Ivan with hurt feelings in her heart. His mouth seemed locked as if he could not say a word after he read the results of the DNA test.

Ivan smiled back at the gaze of his wife.

"It's not like what you think, baby" she said slowly.

"Om, aunt, Diy I beg of you. Please get me and Ivan married. I don't want the child in my womb to be born without a father. I also don't want to be a neighbor's talk if they see me pregnant without a husband. And how do I explain to my dad and mom about all this" Virda pleaded.

"Van, what the fuck? Can you explain all this? You could have done that to Virda. Didn't you already think of Virda as your own sister? But why did you desecrate her and make her pregnant like this? Even more ruthless, you don't want to take responsibility for the child that Virda conceived" Herman sounded wrathful.

"Okay, now let me do the talking. Because you have talked a lot, then my permission to explain everything" said Ivan relaxed.

"I never touched Virda in the first place. Because what? Since I don't love her I just think of her as my sister there's no way I can do that to my own sister"

"Keep what about the results of this DNA test that shows that you are the biological father of the child that Virda conceived? You can deny that you are not his father and have never touched Virda at all" Ajeng said with disappointment.

Diya just kept silent unable to say anything. His self still could not believe that Ivan had betrayed him.

"Ma was horrified" said Ivan.

"And secondly, the DNA test results were fake"

Deg ..

Virda was shocked to hear Ivan's words. His eyes were round looking at Ivan.

"Virda has paid people to change the DNA test results so that the results state that I am the father of the child" Ivan explained.

"Van, could you accuse me of doing that? Once you are Van" Virda said in self-defense.

"Tante, um, look at Ivan. He accuses me of not opening up like this. I was really disappointed in him" Virda said in tears.

"I'm not accusing you, I have proof" Ivan said.

"I'm sorry, I was only paid to do the job of manipulating the DNA test results on behalf of Mr. Ivan because it was ordered by Mr. Virda" said the hospital official.

"Please sir, don't report me to my boss. I could have been fired and I would have lost my job. I don't want to sir, my son and wife also need to eat" he said again begging.

"How about Vir, what's still lacking?" Ask Ivan.

"I don't know who the father of the child you bear. But that's definitely not my son. I have never done such immoral things to any woman except with my wife" Ivan said.

Virda was speechless. Her self did not expect her plan to fail miserably. Though he was very sure he could get Ivan by doing this. However, his hopes were in vain.

"I've been searching for the truth all along. And I've asked my men to investigate about you. And did you forget that the hospital where we did the DNA test yesterday belongs to my best friend" Ivan said.

Again Virda just lowered his head silently unable to say anything because Ivan already knew everything.

"Virda, aunty really didn't think you could accuse Ivan of doing such a cruel thing to you. Aunty already loves you and considers you as her own child. But this is your reply?" Ajeng said he was disappointed by Virda's actions.

"Tante, I did all that because I love Ivan. I love her so much I've been waiting for her all this time. But what I got Ivan instead married Diya this village girl and left me in alone like this. My love is unrequited aunty it hurts" said Virda with a pain in the chest.

"But not by accusing Ivan that way. You have done such a thing with another man. But why do you accuse Ivan of being the culprit. That's called defamation. You could have us sue" Ajeng said, annoyed with Virda.

"I'm sorry, aunt, I'm sorry. But I've sacrificed so much for Ivan I've left my job and moved here just wanting to be with Ivan"

"I was willing to wait for Ivan all this time so he could open his heart to me. I was willing to leave everything behind just for Ivan. Even I was willing to give up my pride just to be with Ivan. But what I got was that he married another woman who had just come into his life without thinking about my feelings" Virda said in tears lamenting his fate.

"I never asked you to move on and sacrifice so much for me. You're the one who wants to do that yourself. But why are you holding me accountable when this is all your own desire and I have nothing to do with it"

"There is clearly a van. I did all this because of you and only for you. So you have something to say about all this. You have to take responsibility for what happened to me" Virda said in tears.

"You're holding me accountable for what? About your pregnancy?" Sindir Ivan's.

"How am I to be responsible when the boy is not my son. If you want to report me on rape charges, please! I'm not scared at all because I have proof that I never did anything and you manipulated the DNA test so I could have sued you back" Ivan sounded threatening.

"What about the child in my womb? Who is responsible" Virda said in frustration.

"You just find out who the real father of the child you bear. Do not accuse me and hold me accountable because I have never done that to you. You understand" Ivan said of emotion.

"Oh yes Virda, aunt does not want to hear anything from your mouth anymore. Aunty and om are very disappointed with you. Aunty asked you to please leave our house" Ajeng said.

"Aunty, auntie kicked me out?"

"Tante is disappointed with you. Though tonight aunt invited you to dinner here to say that om and aunt agree if you stay here. Butwhat? You have accused Ivan who is not and made om and aunt disappointed with you. So aunty asked very please lift your feet from this house" Ajeng said.

"Auntie please don't do this to me"

"So what do you want your aunt to behave like? Want aunt to act like usual? Of course aunty can't do that because you've put your aunt's child to shame and accused your aunt of doing such a thing to you. Auntie was very disappointed with you. So auntie beg you please leave this house and never come back again. Or need aunty call a security guard to kick you out of your aunt's house?" Teach again.

"Aunty, auntie, remember that I'm the son of her best friend aunty. So please don't act like this aunt" Virda pleaded.

"Get out Virda" Shouted Ajeng.

"Auntie"

"Get out" said Ajeng dragging Virda out of his house

***

"Van, I didn't think Virda could do such a thing to accuse you" Diya said as they were in the car to get home.

"That's how Virda is. I know her very well. She's a stubborn girl and will do anything to get her wish" Ivan explained.

"I'm sorry Van. I doubted you" Diya said, feeling guilty for her husband.

"Not why dear Everyone will definitely also think the same thing hangs with you. Fortunately, I found out so soon. So I have proof that I'm innocent" Ivan said.

"And I also want to apologize dear to you I've hidden all this to you. I just want to find clear evidence like this so I can tell you and explain that I'm innocent"

"To be honest I'm afraid you misunderstood me, Diy, and you're going to leave me. I don't want you to leave me a second time. I don't want to lose you. You are part of my life. If you don't exist, I don't know what will happen to my life" Ivan said.

"Darling, now that I've become your wife so there's no way I'll leave you. You are now a part of my life. I will believe in you because you are my husband. And I will try to defend you at all costs" Diya said, grasping her husband's fingers to convince her husband that she will always be next to him no matter what.

"Thank you dear, thank you for your trust in me" Ivan said.

Diya smilingly looked at her husband and leaned her head on the shoulders of her beloved husband.

"Oh, baby, tomorrow you're gonna take mom's check back to the hospital?"

"So, if there's no obstruction me and mom will go to the hospital in the morning" Diya said.

"Hopefully mom has improved baby" said Ivan.

"Aamiin that's what we hope for"

***

"Home home?" Mirna saw her son and daughter-in-law.

"Buk already. I'm not sleeping yet?" Ask Diya.

"Mom's waiting for you to come home"

"Oh my goodness, I just rest, you're healthy. And tomorrow we do another check" Diya said.

"July, and his parents are asleep?"

"It's son"

"Oh yes tomorrow night the Zaki family will come to our house to discuss their marriage with Yuli"

"That means tomorrow we prepare a banquet for the arrival of Zaki's family" Diya said.

"We make cakes and cookies"

"Yes, mom agrees"

***

"Alhamdulillah ya buk, like her high blood mother has started to stabilize. And mom has to keep her food. Do not let the mother's blood pressure rise again" said the doctor who examined the mother.

"Okay doc, thank you" Diya said.

"There are several drugs for mothers to drink so that the mother's blood pressure continues to stabilize. Although there is this drug, the mother must still keep the food that the mother consumes yes" explained the doctor again.

"Okay doc, thank you" said the two boys.

"I heard what the doctor said. What is clear is that you must take care of food and also have enough rest" said Diya.

"Yes son, you will definitely keep your diet and rest enough"

"I don't want you to be sick anymore" said Diya sadly.

"Look, don't be sad. Mom is fine. Didn't hear what the doctor said, mom's better, right?" Mirna calms her daughter's heart.

"Yes, but still have to keep his diet. Do not be forced to work if you are tired" said Diya again.

"Yes, yes, this mother's child is very bad" Mirna pinched the twinkle of her daughter's cheek.

Diya smiled getting treatment from her mother.

"Yes let's go home buk" Take Diya.

Both mother and son went home.

***

"Honey, how's mom doing?" Ivan asked Diya when Diya and her mother were in a taxi heading home.

"The doctor said the mother's blood pressure had stabilized again. The doctor also gave her medication to stabilize her blood. However, the mother must keep her diet. Do not eat food that is prohibited and must be enough rest" explained Diya.

"Alhamdulillah then. It's good to hear you're okay" Ivan said.

"Yes, it's dear. I closed the phone first. I have to go to the meeting first. My client is waiting. And I'm sorry, baby" said Ivan.

"Sorry for what?"

"Because I can't accompany you and your mother to the hospital"

"Oh my goodness, baby. It's okay to be busy at the office. There's no way I'm forcing you to accompany me and mom"

"Thank you, baby. You are an understanding wife. I'm lucky to have a wife like you"

Diya smiled happily at the compliments from her husband.
