Beginning of Forced Marriage
BDP. Part 62's
Nayna had just gotten off an online taxi that drove her to a cafe not too far from where she lived. In keeping with what she talked about last night with her husband.
Right now he was going to meet with Raffa, after this morning, he had deliberately contacted the man to ask him to meet. Because it seems like she also felt that Nayna had to talk to her face to face, about her marriage.
Nayna entered the cafe which is not too big but comfortable enough to relax and talk it, he circulated his gaze looking for the whereabouts of Raffa who had just informed, if he had arrived first in the fund.
When his eyes saw the wave of the man's hand, he smiled. Then continue his steps that had stopped, heading to the table that Raffa occupied.
"Hi Raf," said Nayna just mince words, while sitting himself in the chair opposite Raffa.
"Hi Nay, how are you and him?" raffa asked while pointing at her stomach with her eye gesture.
"I'm fine, she's just as fine. How are you?" tanya Nayna kept her two hands on the table.
"I'm good too" said Raffa.
Nayna gave a short nod, and ordered drinks and snacks to be their conversation partner.
"So, what do you want to say?" ask Raffa after Nayna finishes ordering.
"You're okay, aren't you Raf? I mean yesterday Om Arkan must have said about us," said Nayna carefully for fear of offending Raffa.
Raffa did not answer him immediately, he just smiled at Nayna. Shows if she's okay, even though her heart isn't too.
"I'm fine" Raffa said without hesitation.
"You're not disappointed or angry with Arkan, are you? It's not Raf's fault."
Hearing that from Nayna, Raffa could only smile bitterly, seeing the love of the woman he still loved for others, making his heart feel slashed by a very sharp knife, until it leaves a pain.
"I don't have that kind of feeling Nay, instead I feel relieved, because the man you were asking for help at that time was Om Arkan, I'm sure he'll be a good husband and father to you and to him" Raffa said with a sweet smile.
"Thank God you don't feel disappointed in him" Nayna said with a sigh of relief.
Raffa simply chimed in with a light nod of his head, after which he sipped the drink already available in front of him.
"Oh yes, actually the purpose I asked to meet was not just that," continued Nayna who just remembered, the main purpose of asking to meet with raffa.
"What's important?"
"Have you got a name for this kid?" nayna looked at him seriously.
"Can I give it a name?" raffa asked in disbelief, if she would have the chance to give her son a name.
"Of course, you're his father. It's an inviolable reality, you deserve it" Nayna said, nodding confidently.
"Still Nay" said Raffa, because after what had happened between them, Nayna could still forgive him.
"Together, I never want us to be enemies, but all I want is for us to be friends, we both take care of it later" Nayna said sincerely, rubbing her stomach.
Raffa did not acknowledge it, he only smiled faintly and nodded weakly. He also wants to be next to his son, can care for him along with Nayna, but the reality in his life, is not as sweet as expectations.
He had to be content just to give his name to his son, even to watch him be born, he could not hope for much.
"Well, I'll tell you when I find the right name for him" said Raffa.
"Yes." Yeah." Nayna nodded and began to sip back the drink that was in front of her.
"Oh yes Raf, how is your health?" tanya Nayna reopened the conversation, removing the awkwardness there.
"I'm fine." Raffa nodded and smiled faintly.
"Thank God that's it" said Nayna.
"Oh yeah, Om Arkan don't mind you meeting this same gini as me?"
"No, I asked for permission, too, and she was ngizinin" Nayna said as she was.
"He was not afraid or anything like that, you met me" said Raffa with surprise.
"Why should you be afraid?" Nayna looked at him confusedly.
"Yes, it could be that at this time I intend evil, continue to kidnap you," kekeh Raffa who has begun to melt the suasna.
"What do you think, you can kidnap me?" ledek Nayna's.
"Well, what do I want to kidnap?"
"Ogah," decak Nayna crossed her arms around her chest.
Finally the atmosphere that was quite awkward, had gradually melted away, because of the joke they were giving.
Raffa smiled faintly, looking at the face full of laughter from the woman in front of him. She can see if the woman who is currently pregnant looks happier. And he was sure that the reason for his happiness was Arkan.
"Oh yes, Nay. How did you first know Arkan?" raffa asked, making Nayna who was laughing, stopping her laughter.
"That time after a few days I couldn't call you, I spent more time at the restaurant where I worked after school."
"Why did you suddenly get married to him?"
"You don't mind if I tell you about my problems with the same Arkan?" asked Nayna doubtfully.
"It's easy Nay" said Raffa casually.
"So gini .…"
Nayna begins to tell what happened a few months ago, the day that finally ended with her marriage to Arkan. Raffa listened to each of Nayna's stories carefully.
There was pain in his heart, not pain due to the marriage between Nayna and Arkan. But it was painful to hear Nayna's story about the first time she knew she was pregnant.
How she experienced the fear of being alone, over and over again, the sense of remorse lingered in her heart, hearing Nayna's struggle to keep her child, and the, when his own father asked to abort their future child.
"Thank you, because you have defended it, even though it is not easy" Raffa said softly.
"He's innocent, so there's no reason for me not to defend him, moreover, at that time I asked the right people for help, because he too I can defend it well, until now." Nayna smiled and laughed.
Thinking about the wedding day between her and Arkan, the marriage that originally, there was only the intention to take refuge, but has now changed due to the presence of a love that they never thought would be involved in it.
"Yes you're right, lucky that you asked the right person for help. And I'm sure, he's the right person to keep you guys going" said Raffa, who also smiled, thinking about his om.
"I hope so too. And I also hope you also get your happiness Raf, do not give up and despair, you have to persevere and find your happiness," said Nayna sincerely.
He gave support to Raffa, so that the man did not give up on him and the disease he was currently suffering from. Nayna really hopes to find the Raffa she once knew.
The source of my happiness is you and our son Nay, seeing you happy, that's more than enough for me. Inner Raffa, smiled at Nayna who was also smiling at him.
