(Not) My Crown Ruler
017

In a pretty fancy restaurant in town. The two human children appeared to be silent to each other. Stare at some of the food on the round table in the middle of them.

Louis glanced at Anisa. The woman who looks sad with a puffy face without makeup is again just silent. Seemed uninspired staring at the row of luxurious food that the man had ordered for him.

Louis took a long breath. "Don't you like the food?" ask Louis.

Anisa looked up, then looked down.

"Like," he said.

"Why not eat it?" ask Louis again.

Anisa was silent. The atmosphere became quiet for a while. The man who now appears to lean his body on the back of the chair was now seen sighing long while upholding his sitting position. Put the two arms on the table in a folded position.

"Nisa, there's something I want to talk to you about" the man said.

Anisa looked up, raising her head staring at Louis.

"I want to apologize if my attitude towards you during your time here is painful for you" said the man in serious fashion.

Anisa quiet.

"I know I was wrong for ruining your future." Louis looked into Anisa's eyes. "Now you are here. I promise I will make amends for all my mistakes. As I said, I will marry you after the child in your womb is born."

"You doubt this child? You think I'm a cheap woman that many men can touch, right? It could be that you think that way while obviously you are witnessing that you are the first one to touch my body!" anisa said with tears that again dripped so hard. It makes Louis look like he's claustrophobic.

"Don't cry in front of me!" said Louis withstanding the tightness.

"I have a few reasons for that. I hope you understand. Plus, the teachings in my religion forbid a man to marry a woman who is two! That's not allowed" Louis said, keeping Anisa quiet. Luke seems to understand that as well.

Anisa then laughed a split second later. "The religion you profess also prohibits men and women from having sex before marriage. Especially if it was done by force!" anisa said firmly.

Louis is not moving.

"You don't have to use religious pretexts to cover up all your rot, Luke!" said Anisa.

"I'm Louis!"

"Just like!!" sahut Anisa was firm with sharpened eyes. He's sick of that guy bullshit in front of him. Sok alim and wise but his behavior used to be very disgusting.

Louis took a deep breath and threw it away.

"I was under the influence of alcohol at the time, Anisa," he said. Anisa squealing.

"I told you the same. I will be responsible. I will not run away. I will marry you after this child is born. You don't need to feel in doubt, likened to a silly woman, or anything like that. All I do is to give justice and not to add sin to us. Our deeds are sins, and I do not want to add to those sins again by marrying you who are pregnant."

"Trust me, you will get the justice you fight for. This child will be born and raised with a full family. He will be killed by his real father. And he will not lack the slightest affection" said Louis reassured Anisa.

Anisa did not answer. Her tears kept dripping like rain.

Louis got up from his seat. He stood up, bent down, stretched out his hand rubbing the tears that were dripping down Anisa's cheek sitting across the table.

"Don't cry anymore. You can count on me. I promise I will atone for all my sins as you. From today on, you are my responsibility. Call me if you need anything. Find me if you need help. I can't marry you now. But I'm very ready to take responsibility for everything that's happened to you and your child-to-be" he said.

Anisa was still motionless. The eyes of the two human children meet each other. The atmosphere is so quiet. The world stopped turning for a moment.

The eyes of the two humans grew deeper and deeper. It was as if hinting at various feelings that could not be explained by words. The fault of a man now hiding somewhere forces Louis to take responsibility for a woman he does not know at all. It's only temporary. But for the next nine months, Louis is forced to be close to Anisa. Follow all the woman's will. Provide whatever the woman and her baby-to-be need. And ensure the nutrition and happiness of a pair of prospective mothers and children are always awake. After that he will hand Anisa over to Luke who is supposed to be in charge of the pregnant woman.

Somehow later, but Louis was determined. Anisa is a good girl. He may be able to guide Luke to become a better person later.

Louis smiled sweetly. While Anisa seems to be silent to find the sweet treatment of the man she thinks has stained her. Louis rested his body in the chair.

"Udah, now we eat. It's all healthy food. Very good for the development of the fetus in your stomach," said Louis.

Anisa rubbed another tear on her cheek. He nodded while smiling. The two then started their lunch at one of the famous restaurants. Louis occasionally invites Anisa to talk, as if to melt the atmosphere that feels stiff while trying to get to know more closely the figure of Adiba Anisa who is now pregnant with his future nephew.

...****************...

The black car with shiny paint appeared to stop in front of the two-story house of Salma and Almeer residence. Anisa who is still in the car seems to take off her sit belt. So is Louis who is now sitting in the steering chair of his luxury four-wheeled vehicle.

"I anterin you to the front door" said Louis. Anisa was silent for a moment. He stared at the man for a while then nodded faintly. Louis moved his body, reaching for a bag of white crackles filled with apples that were on top of the jog behind the car.

Both of them got out of the car. Arrive arrive...

"Sina." The voice made Anisa look. Seen there, beside Anisa, a handsome man was seen standing beside Anisa with a lunchbox in her hand.

Anisa remained silent. That's Almeer, Tami's om, Salma's sister, the owner of the boarding house.

"Sister Almeer" said Anisa.

Louis approaching. Almeer glanced at the handsome man.

"What's up, brother?" ask Anisa.

Almeer smile. "I was going to send this to you. Have you had lunch yet?" almeer asked as she lifted the lunch box in her hand.

Anisa opened her mouth, then stared at Almeer and Louis in turn.

"A, em, it's. Yes, sister," said Anisa.

Almeer glanced back at Louis.

"Oh, yeah. If so, you bring it. Make dinner" Louis said, handing the box to Anisa.

The woman accepted it. He seemed to smile and then nodded. "Please, sister," said Anisa.

Almeer.

"Yes, if you'll excuse me. Take a break" said Anisa. Almeer. Anisa turned around. Rushing away from the place towards his hostel followed Louis behind him. While Almeer seemed silent staring at the backs of a pair of women who began to move away from him.

Arriving at Anisa's room. Louis handed the bag to the pregnant woman.

"Now, I want to go home. You rest. Don't be tired. And remember, if you need anything, you don't forget to call me" Louis said.

Anisa nodded.

"Tomorrow I'm here again. You take good care of yourself and your baby" said Louis.

Anisa nodded again.

"Yes, I went first. Assalamualaikum,"

"Wa Alaikum Salam" replied Anisa.

Louis turned around. I want to get out of that place. While Anisa now appears to reach into her pants pocket, took out the key to her boarding room door to enter there. Arrive arrive...

"Sina,"

The sound stopped Anisa's movements. Louis called her. Making Anisa even reflexes turned her head towards the man. The two looked at each other for a while.

"Thank you for coming to this town and seeing me" the man said. Anisa quiet. He smiled faintly and then looked down. He didn't answer. Just nodding without a word.

Louis smiled. "Yes, come in. I want to go home" said the man.

Anisa nodded. Louis then left. Anisa just silently stared at the sturdy back of the man who was now starting to move away from the sight of his eyes.
