"I am his wife of the deceased. Is it not wrong to check on me?" Shouted Melani.

"Sorry Mom. It's a direct order from Headquarters." Answer the member who will take Melani for interrogation. "This is mom's car? Can we check?"

...

The investigation found unnatural facts including scratches on the car of the late Bang Tono. If measured from the height of the scratch on the tree, it is true if the car is used to hit Bian and the late Bang Tono.

"It's possible that it was a scratch on that tree long ago."

"No, the 'wound' on the tree is new." Replied Bang Rawa firmly.

Melani could not say anything. He just looked at Bang Rawa's face with annoyance.

"Why did you hurt my sister??" Tanya Bang Rawa no longer uses SOP-compliant research procedures.

Melani smiled as if showing her true nature all along. "She's having an affair with Bang Tono behind my back. He also made the God Bang turn away that fast from me."

The whole room did not really understand Melani's mind but the psychiatric doctor who assessed Melani's answer had said that Melani was in a normal state. Human nature can sometimes be unpredictable.

"Make BAP..!!" bang Rawa's orders though seem rushed.

-_-_-_-_-

In the afternoon Father and Mother Bang Dewa arrived. They saw the state of the 'shapelessly destroyed' God Bang'. My mother was crying and unable to speak.

"If Bian ever said that, why don't you say it????? You're so late, you can't keep your wife, you can't lose a child. If this is how you do it????" I also cried for his daughter-in-law.

So depressed Bang Dewa faced his guilt. He sat back down, his tears as if they were gone.

"The responsibility of a man, a husband, of course you will take it to death Wo..!!" Said father.

Papa Sanca could not bear to see the state of his daughter-in-law. All equally shattered, but rather than wailing. Now they have to find a common ground. Papa Sanca gave the code for Mama Hemas to talk to women while he spoke as a fellow father.

:

"We both lost and injured Kangmas. I'm aware of my daughter's flaws........."

"No Mas Sanca, my son made all this happen. If only he had paid more attention to Bian."

Both fathers immediately embraced each other. They wept together lamenting the fate of their daughter's son.

"There are no more grandchildren from the womb of Bian Mas. Sorry we disappointed." Said Papa Sanca.

"It's okay. Don't say that. Bian is a blessing to us. Doesn't Bian have brothers too, they're Bian's children too." Answer Father.

"Satur suwun Mas." Papa Sanca is so weak when it comes to her family, especially her only little daughter.

"We're all facing it with Mas Sanca."

"Mind out Dewo as well. I know how weak men are in this situation." Imbuh Papa Sanca's.

THREE YEARS HAVE PASSED.

Bian looked out the window. The morning was so cool but not with Bian's heart that from that day it felt empty hopping. It is hoped that three years ago to have a baby is extinct and destroyed.

"What's wrong? Why are you alone here?" Bang Dewa hugged Bian from behind.

"Look at Mas, they're taking a morning walk with their son." Said Bian.

"Why indeed? We are happy with our lives." Reply Bang Dewa.

"The baby is not perfect for me."

"Who said? You are the most perfect. Perfection is not just about having children. Women are not valued by being able or not having children. You can, it's just God hasn't allowed it." Bang Dewa peeping Bian's forehead. Indeed, in the bottom of his heart, he endured deep sorrow.

"But Mas........."

"Children do not come only from the womb. If you want, we can raise a child." Suggestion Bang Dewa.

"You may be sincere, but not with Mas. Don't think too far. Such thinking only adds to the problems in our household." God Bang.

Bian hugged Bang the God tightly. "Bian also wanted Mas's son, but from Mas himself. Bian wants Mas to have a real child. Honestly, this burden still feels heavy. Please make Bian a perfect woman at all costs."

Aspiring pressed Bang Dewo's chest. Since the incident three years ago, his heart has never been separated from guilt. He did not want to make Bian even more sad just because of the problem of children.

"The child is just a pouch and you've sensed he exists. Maybe in this world we cannot meet him but in heaven we will always see him. Now do much do'a. Only do'a can make our hearts calm." Bang Dewa's.

Bang Deity had heard stories about the Bian bloodline in the past. Bian was a Sekar Kedaton and in this case was Sekar Kedaton 'who failed'. So according to the provisions, he was allowed to marry another girl.

"Bian promised not to be like Oma Kanggah. We're different upbringing and life." Bian's promise in front of God Bang.

"Have..don't talk about this again..!!!!"

***

Today is Saturday. Bian and Bang Dewa visited the sultanate because today there happened to be activities and in the effort of family members to attend the event.

The great families of the sultanate were gathering, they were bringing their children. Bang Seba has not arrived yet. Only Bang Rawa was present with Erika and their little daughter.

"Ndhuk... Have you not had a baby until now?" Ask Eyang sepuh from the besan family breed.

"Nuwun sewu eyang (excuse me eyang) I do not have. Not yet fate has a momongan." Bian answered while looking for someone.

gubraaaack..

Bian smiled at Anggita's presence. Raden Ayu Anggita. Girls who are very very nosy and once confused the entire Sultanate for ever herding brawls into the sultanate. Now when there is an important event, Raden Ayu even sprained because he could not wear high heels.

"Ndoro Ayu.." The mbok helped his lord to stand up.

"Gita said you can't wear sandals like this mbok." Raden Ayu Anggita protest.

"Mas, please help Gita to stand up..!!" Pinta Bian's.

"Not trying to fuck around. I know what you mean..!!" Reject Bang Dewa.

"If you know, just do it. Bian's not rambling." Answer Bian.

"Does..!!!!!" Hard rebuke Bang Dewa, he did not care where he was. All he knew was that he did not want to be arranged and forced to marry Gita again.

The entire family turned their heads towards Bang Dewa and Bian, the attention was once again diverted to Bang Dewa who left the place in a state of anger.

"What's the Wo?" Papa Sanca asked following her daughter-in-law's steps.

"Bian was intending to match me up with Anggita and I didn't want to do such a crazy thing." Replied Bang Dewa very clearly.

Papa Sanca was quite shocked to hear that. Mama Hemas' lips were also locked. In the silence of the atmosphere, there was the sound of footsteps slowly approaching Bang Dewa.

"Marriage like that is not easy. Opa sepuh has experienced it. Opa never left this position for the wrong person but eventually Opa found the best woman in this world. Listen son, Gita is a good girl. If you can't do it, you better step back and never go back." Advice Opa sepuh. Opa Wilang who has been a 'advisor' of the family.

"Ngapunten Opa. I've been thinking carefully for a year now. Let Kangmas Sadewo get happiness. I am Sekar Kedaton who failed. There is no reason for that unless I can indeed give a child to Kangmas Sadewo."

"I don't need a wife anymore..!!!" Bang Sadewa was unconscious because he was very depressed and frustrated.

The elders fell silent. Because their current place is the wrong place.

Unexpectedly at that time there was a sandal hovering above the head of Bang Dewa.

pplttkkkk...

"Heeehh Sadewo. A man doesn't know the rules. Talking to women alone cannot be gentle. It's still a good thing Bian can breathe being married to you." Shouted Gita.

"Babies branch.. O Allah Gusti Ayu. Don't yell so much at Raden Mas..!!" The mbok to the dismay of fear of getting punishment in the sultanate for fear of being considered unable to educate Raden Ayu Anggita.
