CEO Seed
Chapter 3

From a distance, Kania looked at her parents who were sitting in front of the house while tidying plant seeds into a tray.

Usually, these seeds will be sold to other farmers. And a small part of them planted themselves in small fields that have been the source of their livelihood so far.

Her tears began to fall. Kania is disappointed in herself for not being able to take care of herself. He also disappointed his parents.

"Cania? You home, son? Why are you standing there?"

Kania hastily wiped away her tears as her mother caught her standing near the fence.

Kania immediately walked quickly and hugged her mother tightly. Making his mother and father look at each other, confused.

"Kania misses mom and dad."

Wening, the mother of Kania, laughed at her. Indeed, for the last three months Kania has never returned to his village on the grounds of busy college.

Wening and Karno understood the busyness of Kania.

"Yes, let's go in first. You didn't say you wanted to go home. So your mother didn't cook much, deh," said the father, rubbing Kania's hair.

Kania's heart was getting crushed to see the sparkling eyes of both her parents. They are proud that their son is able to go to college in the city. But in reality, Kania dispelled all the hopes of her parents.

Kania and Wening walked together into their small house. While Karno tidied up his work and soon followed his son and wife into the house.

They haven't eaten together in a long time. Of course they miss the presence of Kania in their midst.

"Mother was just cooking vegetable lodeh just like salted fish. Your favorite food, huh? Let's eat."

Kania smiled and immediately picked up a plate of rice and also vegetables and side dishes. His mother's cooking always teased his tongue. It always tastes good even if it is just a simple meal.

In the heart of Kania praying, hopefully the lunch moment this time is not like yesterday when with Dita. Nausea and vomiting when eating Dita's cooking.

One spoonful after another Kania put rice in her mouth. Luckily, this time it was safe. Even Kania had to add more until his father and mother laughed a little at him.

"What's hungry, Nduk?" karno Goda.

"Tumben ate a lot. No more dieting?" timpal Wening's.

Kania smiled and immediately stopped her hand that was scooping the rice. "Taste mom so good. I have not eaten my mother's cooking for a long time. Kangen."

Wening blushed in praise by his own son. "Yes, spend it then. I'll cook again."

Kania nodded and resumed eating.

"How long at home, Nduk?"

"Two days, sir. Monday is back because there's a lecture."

"Yes already. This is rest. Same father mom wants to go to the rice field again this out."

Kania nodded. After the lunch with them was over, Kania went straight into her room intending to take a nap.

The house was so quiet after both of Kania's parents went to the rice fields. Her younger brother is in quarantine to follow a provincial-level paskibraka.

Proud of Tristan's success.

But a moment later, Kania regained his senses. Now only Tristan can boast of both his parents. There was nothing more to expect from Kania.

His fate and his studies are on the edge. Just waiting for that moment to come. A time when everyone would know that she was pregnant, out of wedlock.

In the evening, Kania and her parents had a warm conversation in front of the television. While watching tv, sit on the carpet and there tempe mendoan as their snack.

Kania tried to cover the burden in her heart with laughter. But he was still astonished, why the food that went into his mouth no one came out anymore. Nothing is spewed out again like yesterday.

There are benefits to Kania. At least, his parents did not suspect why he was vomiting continuously.

"Good school, Ka?"

Kania nodded for sure. "Surfing, Mom. It's another test. Maybe two weeks on vacation."

"If the holiday means at home continue, dong?"

"Yes, sir, it looks like."

"Well, someone's gonna help us out in the fields, ma'am. Just hope you're not afraid of her black skin in the sun, are you, Mom?" karno ended with his laugh.

Wening laughed loudly. "If you help me, it's okay, sir. If even damaged how? He didn't, however, have any experience in the fields, sir."

Kania pursed her lips to hear the temptations of her parents. "Ih, hgeremehin Kania, huh? Kania can, weigh planting celery doang."

Both her parents chuckled little. Seeing her daughters now growing up and proud of them, made their hearts so happy. At least that's what they have in mind right now. Somehow until Kania's parents find out about what Kania is hiding.

"The task of Kania and Tristan is just learning. Father and mother did not force to help us in the fields if you were on holiday. Most importantly, don't let us down, Nduk. You also need to take care of yourself. We can't watch you at all times. So please cooperate, yes. All for your own good."

I want Kania to cry hearing her father's words. But Kania doesn't want them to be suspicious. Such a thing was commonly said by his father. It would be strange if suddenly Kania cried to hear the words that have been heard by two people.

"I'm sorry, sir, Mom. I have let you down" Kania said in her heart.

***

"Duh, girl, really, the room is such a mess. Awake, Kania. It's noon." Wening grumbled while tidying up Kania's messy room.

While the owner of the room is asleep even though the time has shown at eight in the morning.

"Yes, mother." Kania squirms her body. Answering his mother's questions with a typical sound of people waking up.

Bruk!!

Wening accidentally dropped Kania's bag. Make the contents of his bag come out and fall to the floor.

Wening's body stiffened when he found something familiar to him. Not even just one. There are four objects with the same name though with different brands.

His hands shook and took the object from the floor.

In his heart he was so scared. His brain thinks badly of his daughter.

"Whose property is this, Ka?" ask Wening slowly. His throat was choked, unable to speak.

Kania is soon aware of the thing she is hiding. Earlier he also heard something had fallen, but had not thought about the testpack in his bag.

Justright. When Kania woke up, the four testpacks in her bag were already in her mother's hands.

Kania's heart seemed to have slipped out of place. This time, it's history. "I - it - it..."

"Whose is it, Kania?" wening's snapping made Kania's eyes closed perfectly. "Java!"

Kania. Her tears have fallen.

"Don't tell me this is yours, Kania!" wening said expectantly. I hope what's on his mind is wrong. Wish the thing he was holding didn't belong to his son.

"Jawab, Kania! Why just shut up?" Wening shook Kania's body.

Kania is getting sobbing. His tongue felt like it was his. Kania was not ready to see the anger of her parents. But Kania could no longer avoid either.

That day has now arrived. The day her parents will find out about her pregnancy.

"I - that. That's mine, Mom."

"Yes Allah... Achaghfirullah..."

Wening's body was sitting limp on the edge of Kania's bed. His hand massaged his chest slowly feeling the pain due to the reality he had just obtained.

"I'm sorry, Kania, Mom. Kania has disappointed my father with my mother."

Kania held both of her mother's hands, but Wening quickly brushed her aside. His disappointment was deep. The child he was proud of had already made mistakes out of bounds.

"What's up, Mom, why the fuss?" Karno had just walked into Kania's room. Makes the heart beat faster.

Seeing her mother's anger, Kania was scared to death. Especially with the anger of his father later.

Kania just waited a second. And finally...

"Kania is pregnant, sir," said Wening slowly while showing the testpack in his hand.

One, two, three...

"Bad!!!"

Plaque!

A furious shout was followed up with a loud slap landing on Kania's cheek.

"I'm sorry Kania, sir." Kania immediately rested at Karno's feet. Pain and heat on his cheeks he no longer ignored. The pain felt by both parents was worse than the slap given by Karno.

"Who are you pregnant with your child? Answer!!!"

Kania shook her head in between her pranks.

"What do you mean?"

With a breath that was panting from her cries, Kania tried to answer. "Ka-Kania doesn't know, sir."

"What kind of woman did you get pregnant just don't know who her father was? Abaghfirullahaladzim apos... Oh God..."

Karno was sitting limp by leaning against the closet. Her tears came down because she felt like she had failed to become a parent.

"What are you doing out there, Nduk? Why are you a woman like this?"

Kania doesn't know how to explain it. In such a situation, a little explanation is impossible to hear.

Almost ten minutes long the three people were silent with their thoughts. Kania and her parents were both crying. Weeping over the fate of Kania who became pregnant out of wedlock. Without knowing who planted the seeds.

"Go from here! I don't want to have an embarrassing child like you! Go!"

Roughly Karno dragged Kania out of his house. Not caring about the questionable gazes of the neighbors who accidentally flashed in front of their homes.

"Sir, forgive Kania. Kania was wrong, sir. But please don't say that. Kania loves both father and mother."

"Go from here. I assume you were never in this family. Shameful!"

Karno went back into his house. Locking the door did not care about the cry of Kania who apologized and asked to open the door.
