Rimba removed the link of her lips from Leony. A warm smile was engraved on Rimba's handsome face. Then she wiped the teary-eyed feathers on Leony's cheek gently.
The expression of Rimba's face remained as calm as the water of Black Rabbit Lake, showing no surprise or anything despite having gotten a kiss suddenly from his little friend. The jungle can smoothly hide his heart beat that timidly squealed in shock. A genius man always puts reason before feeling.
Rimba threw away the thought that Leony wanted to become an actor and snatch himself from the Princess. His fiancee since 22 years ago. Nah! Leony is not that kind of woman. Leony's not an actor.
Leony is currently in ruins. He is desperate, hungry for affection and protection from the heroic figure who always helps Leony when in trouble. So Leony pleads for protection in marriage to the Jungle. Not more.
"We'll think about it later, Leony. What matters is that you are healthy and recovering. Forgetting everything. Organize your life to be cheerful again. I'm not going to leave your side. I will always be with you. We've been through all this together. I-i promise. I will always be with you" said Rimba softly.
"No, Jungle. I can't wait any longer. You should marry me. In a few months, my stomach will be swollen. Enlarges. I'm ashamed, Rimba. I'm shy. If you don't want to marry me, I'd better get rid of this fetus. Throw it away before it gets bigger. And then ... I-I'll end my life that can't be saved anymore" Leony replied in a hoarse voice. His voice sounded non-playful.
The deg! Apparently Leony knew she was pregnant. Oh my God, how is this? Leony really wanted a marriage because her fetus needed a father. Yeah, daddy! Leony was raised by his mother all along. He knows that a child needs a father too.
Moreover, the fetus conceived by Leony is the result of rape. Don't know who his father is. And Leony's heart was now filled with selfishness. He won't budge anymore. He wants Rimba to father the fetus he is carrying or he will abort it and kill himself.
Crazy one! This is crazy! Women will indeed be selfish and crazy if squeezed into a problem as severe as Leony.
Rimba took a deep breath many times.
Cracks! The sound of the room door suddenly rattled loudly. From a distance Rimba can see the figure of a woman who always helps him in a crucial moment. Stepping out with such a warm smile.
"Mother!" Rimba immediately stood up, half ran and got his mother who was still beautiful even though she was over 50 years old.
Thank goodness, Mother Kinan came on time. My head was about to explode thinking of the insistent Leony, the inner Jungle.
Leony turned his head in the other direction. Hurriedly wiped away her tears and regulated her breathing. In order for his sobs that hunted to subside immediately.
Leony does not want Mother Kinan to know that this dirty self asks the only son of Mother Kinan to be responsible for the mistakes of depraved predators who have impregnated him.
"Mother, please sit here." Rimba pulled Kinan's right arm and guided him to sit beside Leony.
"This is from the Tengil Princess. He ordered a lot of bread and candy for both of you. It's a good thing he didn't sulk and got angry because you didn't pick up the phone and pick him up" Kinan said as he thrust out a bubble-filled brown paper bag.
"Thank you, Mother." Rimba smiled, gave her mother two tumbs and received a paper packet and peeked at the contents.
"He always knew what I liked." A sweet smile returned on the lips of the jungle. The Jungle's headache seemed to disappear after remembering the Princess, the ever cheerful and free girl. Rimba took a candy and ate it. The sweet taste of candy makes it powerful and can think clearly again.
"Leony, how are you? Is it better?" ask Mother Kinan while gently stroking the backs of Leony's hands.
Leony looked at the beautiful face of Mother Kinan with full of days. It felt like telling all her tragic stories, leaning on Kinan's shoulder and crying to the fullest. But if all he told me, Mother Kinan and Father Andre would definitely stay away from him. Because he is dirty and ugly. It is inappropriate to be the future son-in-law of the Ariandono family.
Princess is now way above Leony. Princess is still pure, untouched by other men and her future is very bright. While he was dirty, smashed, his future was bleak. Very bleak.
"That's strong and stoic, honey. Father, Mother and Jungle will accompany you through everything" Kinan said gently.
"Mrrrt ...." Leony shed his tears in the arms of Kinan who already knew all his stories without him or the Jungle telling him.
The living room of the Ariandono residence.
Andre picked up a cup of camomile tea and sipped it slowly. The soothing aroma of tea allowed Andre to think more clearly after hearing Leony's tragic story from the mouth of the jungle.
"We have to investigate everything first. Finding the culprit is all that matters" Andre said as he placed his drinking cup on the table.
"Dad was really curious about the motive. Shooting a girl, torturing and raping her for two weeks meant that the culprit was completely obsessed and had a sexy disorder with Leony. In addition, I also want to know if he has a grudge with Leony to the heart of torturing Leony by plucking fingernails." Andre took a deep breath.
"If the culprit has a severe psychiatric illness, it is better to just throw away the fetus that Leony conceived. According to my father, it's the best for Leony" added Andre.
"Indeed aborting the womb is a great sin but if the fetus is conceived is the result of rape, not yet 4 months old and the father (the rapist) is a predator with mental disorders, and the father (the rapist) is a predator, it is better that the fetus is not born because it will only torture Leony more," said Andre.
Kinan and Rimba who were on the right and left side of Andre just fell silent and silent.
Andre's words have a point.
All this Andre said because Andre loved Leony very much. He considered his son's best friend to be his own. He did not have the heart to see the condition of Leony which was getting crushed by the stairs.
"But Leony threatened to commit suicide after abusing her womb, Father," Rimba said.
Andre and Kinan together sighed fretfully.
"Leony needs psychiatric assistance other than us, Brother Andre," Kinan said.
Rimba and Andre nodded in agreement.
"Do you have any references to Leony's best psychiatrist?" andre asked seriously.
"Mother Athena has an acquaintance who may be able to help Leony, Father. A great psychiatrist. His name is Doctor Roy. Doctor Roy once helped Mother Athena and Grandma Hera, Father," replied Rimba who had heard the story of Athena in the novel Mystery of the Black Rabbit Lake.
"Then, I will ask Rendra to make an appointment" Andre said.
"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mother. Sorry Rimba troublesome Father and Mother with problems Leony and Princess," said Rimba.
"Don't hesitate, Son. There's the slightest problem, we'll always be ready to help you, Son. So, never hide your problems from us. Tell me and we will help if we can help" Andre replied.
"Please help Rimba find the culprit, Dad."
"What do you do if you find him?"
"The jungle wants to smack his face up to the bonyok and make him toothless toothless again."
Adogeees!
