ALVARO BETTING GIRL
Getting Used to Running from Problems

Bu Uswa fell silent listening to Nurul's question. He hasn't thought in that direction either. What if that happens and how does Nurul live out his next day? Of course Nurul will have a lot of difficulties. Their home will also be branded badly by the community and Nurul's mentality will definitely be forged all out.

Bu Uswa was worried whether Nurul could be as firm as this moment when it happened. It is not impossible if this child will be depressed because of the destiny that continues to drop him. If she gets pregnant, the more ruined her child's life will be.

The silence of Bu Uswa made Nurul cry. He was unable to hold back his cries until the sound of his sobbing sounded so heartbreaking. Bu Uswa embraces Nurul, he also wants to cry but he tries as much as possible not to dissolve in sadness because Nurul needs a strengthening figure in his life.

"All will be well, son. Trust mom, right?" said Bu Uswa who is actually also pessimistic about this.

"Nurul is afraid, Mom. How will society stigma Nurul? Against our parlour? And it is not impossible that even mothers will get the ridicule of the community here if they find out their children are pregnant without a husband. Nurul doesn't want to because Nurul's problem is all affected."

Bu Uswa shook his head, he did not want Nurul to say that. It was true that there was a possibility that Nurul said just now would happen. Living in a new place like this will give rise to a paradigm of people about their behavior that comes from the capital city of the country. Bu Uswa also does not want it to happen let alone the stigma of society against them. It was something he had avoided all along.

Bad judgment and the way people think about the situation experienced by Nurul will certainly affect them in the future. Dropping their mentality and Bu Uswa is not ready if the children he raised will experience bullying from the community.

"Mom, how about Nurul just get out of here? Pity your mother and sisters if later the community will bully you. It's Nurul's fault and you don't deserve to take it. Let Nurul go and bear it all alone" said Nurul.

Bu Uswa had almost slapped such a narrow-minded Nurul. His hands were trembling and his chest was rumbling.

"Nurul don't talk like that! Where did you get that kind of thinking, huh? Did you ever say that if something happens to the children of the mother then in order to keep things safe then that makes the problem must be out of the house? Did you ever say that? I am really disappointed by Nurul's thoughts just now" said Bu Uswa with trembling lips.

Nurul quickly hugged Bu Uswa's knee. He really regretted saying that. He was just carried away and dissolved in the burden of his mind which kept him frightened. He cannot think clearly and all he knows is that he is not in this house and things will improve.

Is not Nurul getting used to running away from problems? Just like this time when he should have solved the problem with Alvaro and held the man responsible instead he chose to leave and stay away from Alvaro without a word.

He only continued to doctrine himself if Alvaro did not seek him out. The discussion of her who was just Alvaro's betting girl continued to ring in his ears which eventually created a barrier wall in Nurul's heart.

He restricts himself from thinking from the other side. The side where there is a possibility Alvaro is currently looking for him. The side where Alvaro might also love him just made a bet.

Nurul limited himself to all those things because he was afraid that if he expected high then when the reality slapped him all would feel much more pain than he feels right now.

"I'm sorry Nurul, Mom. Nurul did not mean to disappoint her mother. Nurul just couldn't be clear-minded because of this fear. Nurul dear to all of you and Nurul does not want the impact of the incident that happened to Nurul also hit all of you," he so bitterly cried.

Bu Uswa wiped her tears and helped Nurul to sit next to her again.

"Your problems, your brothers' problems and your mother's problems are the problems of all of us. Don't consider yourself to be yourself. You have a mother and sisters. Anyway, it's not necessarily happening. There's no sign yet, is there? Maybe it'll look like another month or two. And during that time we will find a way to solve this problem. And as long as that has not happened, I beg Nurul to continue to be excited and cheerful as usual. We'll find a way out, for sure."

Bu Uswa's words made Nurul flinch subtly. In his heart he also confirmed the words of Bu Uswa. She is not necessarily pregnant and also the signs will not be seen tomorrow or the day after. He still has time to find a way out and as long as that has not happened then he can still continue his life. Start a job and get excited to live of course.

At least if she is pregnant then they already have early preparation to take the next step.

"Mother was right and Nurul went back to stupidity. Forgive Nurul, Mom. And let's find a solution to this problem. Nurul always believed that if she was with her mother, everything would be resolved. Thank you Mom, thank you for being the light in Nurul's dark and dark life." The speech was sincere from the bottom of Nurul and Bu Uswa's heart was made moved.

"You are the mother's child even though you were not born from the mother's womb. It is the duty of a mother to protect her child from any harm and from any test. A mother is the front cover for her child. You should know that, one day you will be in the position of mother," said Bu Uswa while stroking gently the top of Nurul's head.

"You'd better take a break and tomorrow morning we'll go to the plantation. It's ready, isn't it?"

Nurul nodded, "Very ready even, Mom. Then mother also rest because tomorrow will accompany Nurul to the plantation."

"I have to be strong and I want to grow into a stronger woman than ever. I can't run away from trouble and I'm not alone either. I have people who always stand with me. Nurul Aina, spirit!"

In the post-surgery recovery room, the beautiful eyes that look at someone like an eagle staring at their prey began to open slowly. The two eyes adorned by pliable eyelashes slowly blinked to adjust the light that entered his sense of sight. Faintly he caught the figure waiting while clasping his hand. He tried to smile even though he was still stiff.

"Mi," she says.

Yani who was still awake turned to the source of the voice. Her tears trickled when she found her son had opened his eyes and called out to her even in a very weak voice.

"Sweet you're already human. Oh thank goodness," said Yani while peeping the back of Alvaro's hand many times.

Alvaro smiled faintly, "If papi sees this then I will be killed," said Alvaro trying to melt the atmosphere. Really he did not want to see this tough woman crying especially because of her.

Yani stops his actions and then he glares at Alvaro. It was very curious to pick out the ear of his son who had just been mumbling but had said no-no.

"You?!"

"What Alvaro said is true. So if you still love this bad boy then stop doing it."

The typical voice of Genta Prayoga instantly turned their attention towards the door where the middle-aged man was looking at them in annoyance. But there was a smile there, a smile full of relief because at last his son woke up and looked fine.

"What harm? She is my son, I carried her in my stomach for nine months without ever sharing it with you to carry her in your stomach. I was also in pain when I gave birth to her. So it's only natural that I love him so much because he's the fruit of my heart. Star of my heart and half of my soul" said Yani upset with her extremely possessive husband.

Alvaro was so happy to see the warmth presented by his parents. He remembered Kriss who dared to want to destroy himself and his family. He also remembered the Ikram.

"Pi, how is Ikram?" alvaro asked suddenly worriedly.

"So Ikram is rumored to have died" he replied.

Alvaro was in shock not playing, it felt like he was freezing.

"But apparently Nandi was wrong and your good friend is now resting in his nursery. In a moment you will be moved next to his room," said Genta immediately because he did not want to prank Alvaro who had just muttered after surgery.

Alvaro breathed a sigh of relief, almost crying out howling and went to look for Kriss to make a calculation.

"Pi, where's Miranda?"

Alvaro's question makes Genta and Yani tick at him. They had guessed that Alvaro wanted Miranda to come and accompany him in the hospital during his treatment.

"Calm down, I just want to know and please help her not to set foot in this country anymore. Can you use the power of a papi to do that?"

Genta smirked, "Of course you can."
