BECOMING HONEY'S SISTER

BECOMING HONEY'S SISTER
ACCUSATIONS BYU


From inside the room Ilham heard the sound of their conversation. I was still standing in front of the door. Dare not enter, but also no desire to pass until the firstborn Ilham came out. He was a little surprised when he saw my presence. Maybe he felt I was too lazy.


"I won't let Umi and Abi part!" he said, though in a half-snouted voice but clearly in my ear. The teenager who was now sitting in the final bench of Junior High was looking at me sharply. "Why bother our family?" now his voice is louder than ever.


"You don't know anything, Bal." I said. Trying to calm down even though I myself feel afraid to face this child. Somehow, he who even just looks at me can immediately make me uncomfortable. There was such a deep hatred seen from his pair of neutrals.


"I'm not a kid anymore. I know what kind of woman you are!" he still looks at me sharply.


God, how do I explain this child. I never meant to be evil to this family. Right now, to retreat also feels impossible because there is a baby in my womb. This child is the son of Ilham, he also deserves the same affection as his other brothers.


"Mila .. are you there?" suddenly from inside the room, Ilham called out to me. "Come here!" yells.


I stepped in, maybe this was the only option to avoid the intimidating stares Iqbal made.


"Yu, he said to talk. Why?" mas Ilham turned to mbak Ayu, when he saw me had entered their room.


"This .... Me," said Ayu, hesitating. "Mila and I just got into a fight" he replied.


"When are you sick again?" ask me Ilham. "Kids, can you go out first? Abi wants to talk to Umi Ayu and Umi Mila." Pinta mas Ilham's. He gave a few moments until the children came out, including Ibed who was carried by Hana. "Tell me." pinta mas Ilham, after in the room only three of us remained.


"Mila .. She's pregnant" said Ms. Ayu.


"Pregnant? Right, Mil?" lilham turned to me.


Ayu's statement made me a bit surprised, he said earlier not to tell Ilham, but why now he told me first?


"Mil, really?" Ilham looked at me impatiently.


"Yes mas. Mila's pregnant with another boy!" tehur mas Ilham.


"Astaghfirullah," simultaneously I and Ilham said Istighfar.


"Yu, what are you talking about?" mas Ilham immediately stared intently at Mbak Ayu.


"I'm talking about mas. Mila is pregnant with another boy. Farid's son." he replied.


"Juice!" mas Ilham yelled at Mbak Ayu. "Don't be reckless. You know how the law accuses good women of adultery. What are you accusing Mila of adultery on? You know, Mila and I are married. If Mila was pregnant, it must be my son, not another boy."


"Yes. That's not true. Mila is pregnant with Farid's son, I could have sworn that what I said was true. You have to believe me because I have solid evidence" said Ilham.


My head suddenly dizzy hearing the accusation. On what basis did Ayu accuse me of that? Especially with Farid. It was obvious this was his son because he was the only man who touched me.


"Well .. I remind you to retract your words. Apologize to Mila. You know to say someone else committed adultery must also be accompanied by evidence. You can't just talk like that." insisted Ilham.


"No, I'm sure it's Farid's son. I have witnesses and evidence." Ma'am Ayu is still muddled with his statement. He even swore and took Hana as a witness of his accusation. "Hana herself said that she saw Mila enter Farid's room at night. He saw it a few times when we all had a hard time sleeping." said mbak Ayu.


O Allah, why should we bring Hana all. I don't know what the end of the matter is because not only are we three now, but he's also bringing his son with him.


Now, Ilham called Hana. He asked for his daughter's testimony and what I feared happened. The sixth-grader of Elementary School testified smoothly that he saw me sneaking into Farid's room. Not just once, but several times. Hana also mentioned the day until the hour she saw me.


My body feels weak. I, who had stood by hearing their accusations and testimonies, now felt completely helpless. My body feels weaker. Without asking for permission, I sat on the sofa because I did not want to fall to the floor again because I was shocked by today's incident.


"The two of you .." - Ilham seemed to hold back his anger, he stared intently at his wife and daughter. "Truly outrageous."


"What does it mean?" ask me Ayu.


"Your team Yu. You've done a very big upset and I'm really disappointed with you. I don't think there's any more sorry or second chances!" tehur mas Ilham. "First, you've slandered Mila with her bravery. In fact, without the need for testimony from anyone I believe it was my son but you instead accused him of adultery. Your second mistake, involving Hana in this maslaha. You made me realize more and more that you have failed to be a wife and mother. For the sake of your ego, be willing to plunge your own child. Are you not afraid of what the consequences will be? You taught Hana to lie."


"No Bi, Hana's not lying. Hannah ....." Hana tried to argue.


"Hana's quiet! Now you're out because Abi is disappointed in you!" tehur mas Ilham.


"But Bi," Hana tried to cuckoo. It looks right it went wrong.


"Get out!" mas Ilham threw his daughter out of the room.


"Mas can't help but yell at Hana just because of this woman?" mbak Ayu tries to defend his daughter. "Mas, Hana's our daughter. The daughter who I was hoping for her birth but even mas hurt just because of a woman like her. Don't you think how Hana feels? Oh, that's so fucking good!" mbak Ayu.


"You're in charge of all this, Yu. You can do all this. How humiliating. I'm really disappointed in you!" lilham is still angry. "I was angry because I loved my daughter so much. I didn't want him to get caught up in the upset his mother taught him. Understand you!"
