"You're too convoluted, Ai! You can tell me whose name it is, because we know."
His chest rumbled violently, his cold sweat continuously drenching along with his incoming heartburn. Ai suddenly trembled.
"Do you want it, Mah?"
Adinda also recognized the characteristic of fear in Ai. He understood, since then Ai lied and was looking for an excuse. However, he even fished so that Ai continued to issue his lie moves.
"Let's be a witness in the village later. We'll pick it up later, shall we? You, same friend of yours. Givan is coming, his wife is too." Adinda embraces her daughter-in-law, she rubs her daughter-in-law's shoulder with a big smile.
Canda nodded and returned his mother-in-law's smile. She tries to be tough, though she could risk feeling numb to her husband.
"But, Mah...." Ai bit her lower lip.
"Don't be absent, Ai?" Givan put on a beautiful smile.
"Next together, not alone," added Canda sounding friendly.
Because it was so confused, he immediately mentioned the name of one of the residents who always heard the story. Because he thought that the case would be brought to the village hall was just a bluff.
"God, Mah. Let's bring Eva here, let's get it done in family." Thought Ai, it's okay to go out of money to get Eva to work together.
"You're ashamed, Mah. If only the problem of kek gini, but brought to the village hall," he continued later.
However, it can no longer be de-negotiated. Adinda has bagged the name, she will still bring this matter to the village hall only. For Eva, the neighbor behind Ummu's mother's house, Adinda will certainly pull him to serve as a witness who heard the story directly from Ai.
Whether the story is the same as circulating in the citizens, or like a confession from Ai himself. If there is a difference, let the law continue for justice together.
In fact, Adinda did not expect if Ai dared to ugly him in the eyes of the community. Givan and Canda who clearly still guarantee it, in fact exposed slander from Ai. Maybe Ai did not know, if this problem was heard directly by the Adinda family. Moreover, who complained directly is the chairman of the local RT. He felt clumsy, because he had spread his own mouth. He was made dizzy and suddenly pale, because he was immediately reprimanded with the person concerned. Not to mention, he later had to explain also in the village hall.
"I'm sorry, okay?" Adinda got up first, followed by her son and daughter-in-law.
Ai just nodded. He was too limp to get up, then drove his guests up to the porch of his house.
"Kanda, how many rupiah bills did you give Ai?" ask Adinda, as they walk back home.
Jokingly remembered. "No idea, Mah. You see, all the monthly shopping for our own." Canda is not good at calculating the price.
"What's less for him alone? Till the fanfare to such people." Adinda thought, maybe Ai was disappointed with the amount that Givan gave. Because it doesn't live up to his expectations.
"I told you, Mah. If less, call and make a list of what is needed on this number. Ghifar's wife wants to be an intermediary and he also does not mind the number saved Ai. Because I thought, if it was my number, he would have spam chatted to me. Number Canda, surely he continues to manas-manasi Canda aja," said Givan with his wife's hand.
Adinda just found out here, if one of her daughters-in-law also took part to take care of Ai. "Then, his wife Ghifar will also have to attend the village hall later. Let him be a witness, about you who guaranteed Ai and even let Ai ask for the guarantee he needs again through his wife Ghifar."
"But my mother said, she never got a chat from Ai. The moon's responsibility is so, he chatted to Ai what it takes. Yes he said, Ai even answered long, everything he said he did not need our mercy." Adinda immediately spread her gaze, as soon as she heard the story from Canda.
"Who? No need for our mercy, yes have raised their own children without looking for us here. His mouth likes to lie. To Mamah please be pitied, to Givan demanding the confession of the baby. Eh by the way it's just wasted! Proud is a woman."
Beyond Givan's criminal act, which makes Ai a victim here. Supposedly, Ai shouldn't speak so arrogantly. Because he came with a wail, but behind the other his mouth spoke. Ai did not like to be grateful for all the sympathy that the family gave her.
"All you have to do is how many baskets, Mah?" asked Canda, because he thought Ai felt inadequate from the ration.
"Yes, maybe people want their snacks. Maybe it's not enough, if only eating," replied Adinda, he felt he was not enough if only eating.
"I give you two million, Mah. I told him to make a handle, then maybe he wants to snack on it. There are often traders who go to the front of the inn, Mah," Givan explained by looking at his mother.
If that's enough for an Ai. Then why did Ai travel and spread slander? Is that just her wish, or is it more about vilifying the Givans?
But it is not followed by slander either. All eyes can also understand, that Givan is guilty here. But it seemed, it was not satisfied enough for an Ai. Apparently, he wanted to make everyone feel sympathy for him.
"I thought, what if Mas Givan should go to jail? Then, is Ai innocent because it has made slander kek gini? I've heard, getting pregnant out of wedlock is legal here. I'm thinking, Mah." Canda already looks dreamy.
Givan clasped his wife's hand. He realized he was wrong without having to defend too. But he wants the universe to understand that he is not entirely guilty.
Moreover, in the purchase of such services. Givan should know it's done, because he's just a buyer. Sellers should be more aware of market risk, as Givan pays for it here. What he did not understand, why when Ai was pregnant even he had to be responsible? Isn't he a buyer here?
Givan just wants to teach Ai a lesson, not to risk pregnancy either. If Ai is pregnant, it is Ai's own risk.
Because to her knowledge, no prostitute gets pregnant and holds her customers accountable. It is a market risk, with him having to prevent and cope with it.
The logic is like that, even though the reality is that he does not really taste Ai. However, he did feel like buying Ai for the night.
