"Jum, how's this? My son could not have married your niece ", said Ms. Rully.
"So Mom, maybe this is just the child's wits so that it doesn't get married to Beno. I went to the boy's room first, Ma'am "said Bude Jum timidly.
After asking permission from Bu Rully, Bude Jum immediately headed to Jelita's room.
"Heh, children do not know themselves, bude know, it's just your wits so as not to be married to Beno! Don't lie to bude, get out quick! Bu Rully and Beno are waiting for you." snapped Bude Jum.
"Already Ma'am, don't force Lita. He doesn't want to marry Beno, don't be forced into it. He's your own nephew, you know what!" sergeant pakde Asrul.
"Udah, you don't have to interfere in my business. It's my business as well as the child does not know this self." sergeant bude Jum. Pakde Asrul could only sigh deeply. His wife was stubborn. When you say it, it is difficult to resist.
"Why do bude like insistent I marry him? There's gotta be something you're hiding, isn't there!" jelita is full of suspicion.
" Where there is. Bude is just thinking about your future. If you marry her, your life will be assured." - Bude Jum. Bude Jum's eyeballs look unable to focus, Jelita can see there is indeed something hidden budenya it.
"De, Lita doesn't lie, Lita is pregnant. Lita knows this too. As long as Bude knows, why Lita can go home suddenly, it's because ... Lita was raped because of that Lita ran away, behind the village." said Jelita with a pushy look.
Bude Jum and Pakde Asrul were shocked. It has been almost 1 month Jelita came home, but only this time Jelita told me about the problem. Pakde Asrul did not expect that to happen to his nephew. In contrast to Pakde Asrul, Bude Jum actually accused him of being a cheap woman in the city even a perakor who fled because he was found out by his legitimate wife.
"Hell, you must be lying. You must be in town selling yourself, right! Or maybe you became a actor in the city and ran away here because of the legal wife of the man, right! Don't lie. Basic children do not know themselves. "sis Bude Jum with a condescending look.
"Already Mom, already. Poor Lita." sergeant Pakde Asrul. His heart was also sliced when he saw Jelita sobbing. He knew Jelita was a good and honest child, so he could not do as his wife had said.
Upset with Pakde Asrul who always defended Jelita, Bude Jum went out to meet Bu Rully and Beno.
"How's it?" ask Mrs Rully
Bude Jum let out a long sigh, he was confused as to how it should be now.
"That's .. e ... Lita ... Lita seems to be pregnant, " replied Bude Jum with a downcast face.
"So how's this, Jum? I don't want to know, if Beno can't marry Jelita, then your son, Juwita, should be the one to change it." exclaimed Bu Rully made Bude Jum's eyes widen.
"Lho, I can't do that Mom, my daughter just finished High School, she's only 18 years old, while Beno is 33 years old. Their age difference is too far." kilah bude Jum.
"Well, same Lita you don't matter, their age is only 1 year difference, so it's the same. Anyway, I've got you dowry you asked for. If you do not want to marry Wita to Beno, then you must be ready to return the money immediately with 50% interest according to the agreement. So you have to give that money back to 75 million. Hows it? Can you?" scour Bu Rully with intimidating eyes.
Bude Jum's breath suddenly choked. He couldn't possibly destroy his daughter's future with a married man like Beno let alone their age difference too far. If you have to return the money Bu Rully is also impossible, because the money is exhausted he used to pay debts, arisan, buy jewelry, and for Juwita shopping.
"How's Ma? I admit, Lita is much prettier than Wita, but I also can't possibly marry a pregnant woman. If it's my own son I don't mind, but it's not my son so I can't marry him." now Beno speaks up.
Juwita who just came home from the streets with her friend was suddenly staring. His face flushed red withstanding the rumbling in his chest. Of course he did not accept being married to a man who was more worthy of being his uncle.
"We don't want to." Juwita's voice suddenly echoed in the living room of the house surprising everyone there. "Why not just cancel the content of Mbak Lita, after that just married. Not with her pregnancy, Mbak Lita proved fertile, unlike me who has not been proven. It means that Mbak Lita is more suitable Mr. Beno married, not me." said Juwita grinning. Somehow all of a sudden the idea flashed through his brain.
"True ma'am what my son said. How about we just drop the Lita content. Lita's been shown to be fertile isn't that good. Surely later after Lita and Beno get married, they will soon have children" said Bude Jum trying to convince.
Jelita who was eavesdropping from behind the curtains near the living room suddenly choked when she heard the rotten plan of bude and his cousin. Just for the sake of property, it turns out they could sacrifice him and his future son. He doesn't want to. They can't do it. He had to get out of the house before anything he didn't want happened. What happened to him is bad but that does not mean he has to throw away his child candidate. There are many prospective parents who are trying desperately to have children. They are willing to sacrifice many things ranging from time, energy, and cost, but the results are not as desired. And now he is given for free, even though in the wrong way, it is impossible to eliminate him. Although he never wanted to have children out of wedlock, not every life was entitled to fight for, especially the life of a human child. Therefore, Jelita will defend and fight for it with all her might.
