Flashbacks
That night, the sky was clouded with deafening thunderclaps. Gandhi had just returned to work at 22:00 WIB, because there was a sudden job.
As his car drove through a large bridge, his eyes caught a long-haired woman on the edge of the bridge. His feet slowly rose, he closed his eyes while looking up. Both his hands stretched out.
Gandhi stepped on his brakes. He ran and caught the woman's waist. "What are you doing?" gandhi shouted along with lightning striking.
"Please me! Off! Let me die! Off!" the woman struggled to let go of Gandhi's hand.
He was losing out to Gandhi. The man took down a foreign woman who tried to commit suicide, dropping herself at a height of tens of meters. Which below is also the same as the traffic of vehicles.
"Dead will not solve the problem. Just add to the problem, you do not think about how your family feels? Think of the disgrace that will scold your parents. Don't selfish. And again, God was very angry with those who ended his life. Is your charity enough? Has your worship been completed? Until you dare to make this decision!" berang Gandhi after lowering the woman released the winding of his hand.
The woman bowed, then decays to the ground. He was crying so much. Heavy rain poured down that night, soaking the bodies of both.
"I'm ashamed! I'm afraid! I've been throwing shit in my parents' faces. Disappointed him. I'm gonna die!" he cried as if he had not heard Gandhi's words.
And sure enough, the woman ran up the guardrail quickly and jumped down. Gandhi swiftly pulled his arm. The woman's body hung.
"Take me off!" the girl squealed up moving her legs.
Gandhi shook his head, with all his might he pulled him again. Despite the difficulties because the woman had no desire to return.
"No! Don't do that!" sahut Gandhi whose hands were beginning to turn numb. One hand held his own body against the guardrail.
"I don't want to give birth without a husband! I don't want to be ashamed! Release me!" the woman thrashed.
"Don't be crazy! You want to be a killer too? You're going to hell express!" peekik Gandhi was angry.
"Don't interfere! Release me!" The woman is still stubborn.
The night was getting late, there were not many road users at that time. Even if there are them as if they do not care for men and women who pull over their lives.
Gandhi who heard the word baby increasingly tried to raise the woman. He loves children very much. He is angry if a woman tries to kill his own flesh and blood.
"okay! I'm gonna be the father of that kid. I'm gonna marry you. Please, don't kill innocent babies" said Gandhi. But invisible, camouflaged by the swift rain.
"No, I don't believe it!" yelled the woman.
"I promise!" exclaim Gandhi. "Okay, my hands are cramping" he continued more gently.
I don't know what was in Gandhi's mind at that time until it was thrown a sentence that had never been thought before. For her wishful thinking was to marry only Chaca and still wait another year. However, what is this? Fate seemed to lead his conscience to act beyond his expectations.
The woman finally complied. His legs were trying to stand on the edge of the road, his hands clasping tightly to Gandhi's arms. And the man used the rest of his strength until he managed to make the woman lift. Both fell, the woman fell on Gandhi.
"Where is your home now?" gandhi asked, getting up and holding the woman's arms.
"I'm Ayu. My house is in the settlement at the end of this street," he replied softly bowing his head.
"Well, let me drive you home" Gandhi pulled his arm and opened the car door. During the trip they were silent. Gandhi's heart was a death. Her heart was irregular when she remembered Chaca's face. His heart growled furiously. Why not let the woman beside him? Thousands of needles struck his heart.
"I'm sorry, Cha" murmured Gandhi softly.
Gandhi sent him home and talked about his intention to marry his daughter. Initially Gandhi got a raw bogem from Mr. Ayu. He thought he was the one who impregnated his son.
At the moment I cannot defend myself. Because Ayu was silent from now on. He also has no evidence. Just keeping a promise that was just said a few hours ago.
Not wanting to linger, Gandhi said goodbye to coming home with some lebab wounds on his face. He went home to Mother's house, surprised when the woman sat curled up on the terrace.
"Mother! Why are you still here? Why not sleep?" Sapa Gandhi came to him.
"Mother wait for you, Mother is worried about you. To ...." His speech was interrupted when he looked at his eldest son who was soaked with bluish bruises on his face. "Oh my God, son! You why?" pekik Mommy held both Gandhi's cheeks.
"We go in, Bun, yes" Gandhi led her into the house.
Already quiet, the middle room lights have also been extinguished all. Only the terrace and rooms are still lit. They have no sleeping lights, only headlights.
Rush mother boil water to bathe her son. Gandhi prepared his clothes and was taken to the bathroom.
"Son, don't take a cold shower!" cry Mother from the kitchen not far from her room.
"Yes, Bun" Gandhi said.
Not waiting long, Mother poured hot water in the bath and filled it with cold water until the warmth is right for the bath.
"Thank you, Bun," said Gandhi sincerely waltzing into the bathroom.
The mother returned to the kitchen. He made a warm tea for his beloved son. Do not forget to also warm the food, in case the man has not had dinner as well.
For a while, Gandhi was out in casual clothes. A small towel rattled his wet head.
"Bun, Gandhi wants to talk" said Gandhi slowly hugging the Mother propped her head on the shoulder of the woman who took care of her from infancy.
"Eat first. Hot tea let your body go." Mother grabbed a glass and thrust it at Gandhi.
Sipped until it ran out unceremoniously and then invited his mother to sit on the sofa in the middle room. Under the dim moonlight that broke through the window of the simple house.
Gandhi rubbed his head on my thigh. He closed his eyes for a moment, so that he could not feel his tears. The woman's old hand gently stroked Gandhi's head. Gave comfort to Gandhi even if only a little.
"Bun," call Gandhi slowly.
Gandhi then told me what he had been through. Not a little missed. He told me while crying. The crying was heartbreaking, because in his heart he did not have the heart to hurt the girl he loved so much. Moreover, he misses Chaca very much, has been a few days can not be contacted.
Mother was equally surprised. He had no idea fate would turn his life around. Mother knew how Gandhi and Chaca felt loving each other. Because Gandhi also talked about his plan to the mother. Marry the girl when she graduates High School.
"Gandhi's confused, Bun. Gandhi betrayed Chaca. Gandhi loved her very much. Gandhi ...." His body is getting bigger. Wailing wistfully. Tonight was a tough night to decide his life. Mother also can not do much. He could only support whatever Gandhi's decision was.
"If indeed you are destined to be a match, you will remain united no matter how you want" Mother's message.
Until that day came. The day Gandhi married another woman he had even just met. Ayu's parents urged that it be implemented immediately.
