Child Contains Husband of Others
16

Or at least that Dinda thought when she entered Mute's house without permission, finding the girl vomiting.

Dinda thought she was vomiting due to stress. But like a revelation, Dinda suddenly thought something else.

He was thin, suddenly did not eat much, his eyes black sleep deprivation, looked lethargic, and vomited.

"You pregnant?" Dinda glared wide. "YOU'RE PREGNANT?!"

Mute who was shocked at Dinda's arrival hurriedly beckoned her silence.

"Sssshhhhttttt, don't let anyone know! Plisssss!"

Dinda closed her mouth hurriedly. "Who?" he whispered, so as not to be heard. "You well, Mute, you can sleep the same ...."

Waita minute.

Mute has always been known not to be odd. Not many people have a crush on him either. He's a busy houseboy taking care of grandma. And the only one that's close enough to Mute lately is ... Erekleus.

"Oh my God." Dinda limbung, shut her mouth so as not to be tight. "You ... Are you pregnant with Erekleus's son?!"

"Sshh, Dinda, don't yell. I beg. Plisss, no."

No. gabe. Dinda would rather die than yell and expose everything.

If Erekleus finds out he has a child, it means he is forced to marry Mute while he does not want to marry Dinda!

Can't! It won't be!

"Erekleus already had a wife" said Dinda, who frantically thought Mute was honest. "The wife is beautiful, Mut. Beautiful until I'm less!"

Mute is pale.

"Don't let him know. Don't get. He will not take responsibility. He'll just leave you ashamed!"

Mute was desperate to the point that she cried at Dinda. "What do I need to do, hiks? If he leaves, my son will be born. People will know, Din."

"You must be a fallout!"

"But—"

"You want to be ashamed of being left behind like trash or want to dive into your self-esteem plus take care of your grandmother?" threaten Dinda's dead.

Now Dinda is actually doing her job as a good friend of Mute, which is to be kind and take care of her.

"Quiet down. I'll make sure you're safe, '" said the girl. "We'll be slain by the malem. I'll be ready until I'm done. I'll also ask Mom for help. Just calm down."

Mute cried sobbing in her arms. Inevitably he felt a little relieved because he could tell the burden.

But as Dinda leaves the Mute residence, Dinda walks home in a hurry to complain to Bunga.

"Mute's pregnant with Erekleus' son, Mom!" So screams Dinda hysterical. "He slept with Erechleus and was not the same as me! Now she's pregnant! If Erekleus knew, he would stay in the palace, not me! I'm not willing!"

Flowers were also in great shock, but the woman rushed to understand what to do. "Quiet down. We go to the midwife to kill the baby diem-diem. Malem later we go together."

In front of the tent, Yohana and Erina saw Dinda walking away earlier with pale faces. It was not a normal expression so they hurriedly reported it to Erekleus.

"Pale? You mean angry?" erekleus retorted that he thought Dinda might be angry because Mute was being annoying.

"No, Young Master. It was more like .. attitude of the frightened person. Anxious about something."

Erekleus frowned. "Then go and check on her grandmother's condition. He could be dying."

Mira rushes off to confirm that Grandma Iyem is experiencing something, but Mira comes back with the news that she is still fine. There was no sign of pain.

Erekleus sighed. "The little girl had something bad going on in her life" the man complained of pity. "If I knew who his father was, I'd make sure his hands and feet were broken. You useless man."

Erekleus had an epiphany.

"Hey, that's right." The man stood up so excited. "Begging Argan to find the badjetan father who abandoned his daughter. I'll make sure she works a lifetime for her daughter."

Argan is Erekleus' sixth bodyguard who works outside the village, watching everything through a computer screen. He's an expert in all sorts of things about technology, people call him a hacker or whatever it is.

All the cell phones connected to the network in the village around here are ears for Argan. He hears everything.

Everything.

Including ... Dinda and Bunga's talk.

"It's a disaster" murmured the red-haired man surrounded by hundreds of screens in the dark room. "If it's really Young Master's son, it's a big disaster."

Why disaster? Because Erekleus was Narendra's young master. Let's set aside the facts about different castes. Let's talk about one rule.

Narendra's rule is hereditary: the descendants of Narendra must be regulated. Which in a sense, Narendra determines when they can have offspring. The phase before offspring can be owned is called the sterilization phase, which is now. When was that phase stopped for a moment?

It was after the marriage of the Last Young Master that Erekleus as the Fourth Son of Narendra still had nine unmarried brothers. Narendra's last son is now nine years old which means his marriage is eight years later.

That's the rule.

The child, the child in Mute's stomach, is the child that should not be born according to Narendra's rules. There can't be. Because he's gonna ruin the whole system.

"I have to shut up?" muttered Argan worriedly. "Do I have to tell you?"

But if you are told the rules, do you throw it out so maybe just shut up?

"Let's just shut up." Argan. "Sorry, Young Master. I don't want to make you take any tough decisions."

If he knew and had to kill his son, he would have been hurt. So he better not know and just let the boy die.

May he go to a better heaven than the world.

Dinda enlists the help of Jaler as the only person who can be ruled without worrying denied. The man who had been hoping to be his girlfriend for a long time just agreed when told to pick up Mute secretly.

Even he doesn't care when he finds out they want to abort.

"Mute, Mute. What did I say, right?" babble Jaler while walking ahead. "Said don't mess with playboy. Yes, rich, handsome, already like an artist but well you think you will be responsible? Cheese, mah. If your face is like Ariel Tatum, he will take responsibility. Just prostrate instead."

Mute just held back the crying while following Jaler who led her to where Dinda and Bunga were waiting.

The nights they are afraid of the road themselves so Jaler is their guarantee of getting to the destination.

"Bakal caught if you use a motorbike so just walk," said Bunga while pulling Mute's hand. "Here you! Women really aren't!"

Mute lets his hand be dragged around, becoming the object of the Flower's impingement that's upset for not being his son. If it's Dinda, they can demand responsibility and their families will automatically be advised to Narendra.

Of course Bunga did not know that getting along with Narendra was impossible. Two hundred years Narendra stood, they never had a besan.

All the girls Narendra's wives were orphans and raised specifically to life and death for Narendra alone.

They were all trying to walk in the dark following Jaler's steps, not knowing that Erekleus was kissing his strange gelagat.
