Destiny Gintani
Neighbour's Slander

"So, are you my Dad?" the little boy asked looking at Argha very coldly.

For a moment Argha's tongue was confused to hear the question of the 7-year-old boy. His cold gaze pierced Argha's heart. His facial complexion looked very gloomy, in contrast to that of a boy of his age in general.

"Sorry, I can't answer your question right now?" answer Argha.

The little boy smiled cynically. "Hmm, I expected. He is a liar. And for the rest of his life, he will continue to lie to me" said the little boy as he left Argha.

Confused! Of course, only confusion could Argha feel. His cold attitude indeed reminds Argha of Bram who is not too good at adapting to people he does not know.

For a moment, Argha stroked the chest. He then went to the office of the orphanage's chairman to make his point.

Michael, a very short name, with no frills surname or paternal descent. It's the only name she's got, and she prefers the nickname that the house mom gave her, Miki.

The boy was sitting scattered under a banyan tree that was quite shady. His mind drifted back to what happened a year ago.

"Sister promised, Ki. Brother will take your father to pick you up from here."

"But when?"

"Later after you get married."

"Why wait for my sister to get married? Isn't Brother's father Miki's father too?"

"After you've grown up, you'll tell me everything."

Miki snorted annoyedly considering the chat he had with the older brother.

Don't have to wait for me to grow up, brother. I'm not a stupid kid who can't kiss my sister every time I ask my mom and dad. I already know the truth. One thing I don't know, why don't you acknowledge me as your son? inner Miki.

The taste of pain returned to his mind. Had he not had an accident on the cliff, of course until now he would never have known who his birth mother was.

"Mother please, Na. Look at Miki even once."

Faintly Miki heard the mother of the parlour talking to someone. He closed his eyes to listen to their conversation. I don't know what the guy said that provoked the emotions of the mother of the parlour.

"Enough Ilona Prasetya! As far as you go, it won't change your destiny if Miki is your son, your flesh and blood! I don't care about your hatred for the man who has impregnated you. But don't vent your anger on Miki. He's not guilty. It was enough that he suffered because his father did not acknowledge him. And now, are you also going to disavow him as your own son, huh?"

The mother of the parlour sounded emotional, but Miki did not want to open her eyes. Even though his heart ached, but tears seemed reluctant to come out.

"Well if that's what you want. From now on, forget if you ever gave birth to an intelligent child like Miki. If until one day there are parents who will adopt him, I will never ask your consent. Like you said, he's nobody to you. Remember that's Ilona!"

And now ...the tears that once did not want to come out, finally spilled over also flooded both cheeks.

The world is cruel. It's not just you who won't admit me. But that man won't even acknowledge me, Miki's inner self.

"So, that's the story?" ask Maria the orphanage owner.

Mary's mother accepted it and began to read the letter. A few minutes later he folded the paper and handed it back to Argha.

"Are you going to take good care of that kid?" ask Maria.

"I will try" replied Argha.

"Well, in two days you can come here. I will prepare the adoption letter first" said Ms Maria.

Argha nodded. He was immediately saying goodbye. Before he left he wanted to see Miki first. But unfortunately, the boy did not want to see Argha.

Throughout the day, Imelda kept thinking about how to get the woman to leave Heru's house. He himself was fed up every afternoon having to witness the laughter of the family. Initially, Imelda felt she had lost the opportunity to have Heru. However, hearing the gossip of the house assistants the other day, he was again eager to seize Heru from the woman.

Suddenly a grinning smile rang at both corners of Imelda's lips. He seems to know what he has to do. The next day, Imelda approached the vegetable seller who was stopping in front of his neighbor's house. Coincidentally the vegetable trader is being mobbed by mothers of rhombus. With the spirit of four five, Imelda approached them.

"Hello moms, again on shopping, huh?" imelda's greeting to the mothers who were crowding the vegetable maker.

"Eh, yes Jeng Imel. Jeng wants to buy some vegetables too?" ask bu RT.

"Eh, there's Bu RT too. Well, by any chance we meet here, there is something I want to ask you, same Miss RT," said Imelda.

"Oh yeah, what's up, Jeng?" ask bu RT.

"That, loh Bu .. about Mr. Heru, whose house is in complex B. Did he report to mom about the woman's guest?" ask Imelda again.

"Guests? Who?" ask the neighbor Imelda.

"That, Gintani," said Imelda.

"Loh, isn't Jeng Gintani his wife, Heru?" said bu RT.

"Ish, who said it, Mom. Gintani is a widow. I don't know what their relationship is like. But mothers can imagine for themselves, right, what would happen if a widow and a grown man lived under one roof? Hmm, yes, we'll just shut up if any of our citizens get together?" Imelda began to provoke the mothers there.

"Well, it can't be our home's blessing" said mothers wearing negligee.

"Yes, even I've heard that if the people of a village commit adultery, then 40 houses around it will be affected" Imelda continued.

All the mothers there seemed to be provoked by Imelda. Finally they demanded RT's mother to act immediately.

"Relax mothers, I will discuss this with my husband first. After that we will make a decision to jeng Gintani," said RT.

"Don't postpone it again Mom, do you want, our complex is doomed because there are people who gather kebo?" ask the mothers of berdaster.

"So much ma'am, if Ms. RT can't act. Let us act, then" said the other mother.

"Let me take care, but I ask for a day or two. We must not act rashly, because this concerns the good name of a person," said RT ma'am.

"Here you go, it's up to Mom. But I emphasize on Mother RT, if I do not want to have a neighbor complex that likes adultery like that. Point!" said mommy berdaster as she passed away.

Seeing his friend leave, the others disbanded. Imelda remained alone, smiling triumphantly.
