EGO - Adhira
Ego-13 Responsibility

"I don't know anything, I'm a kid, still in 4th grade. But for the rest of my life, this is the first time I've seen my brother that crazy." Devan said, leaving this time to let Zeo reflect on his mistake alone. With the breakfast still intact. Zeo felt what guilt was as his eyes caught the frail and thin body of Adhira.

Is he that bad?

***

As soon as she opened her eyes, Adhira let out a disappointed sigh. He is still alive and does not think he has to face this strange situation in his life.

It even felt like Adhira wanted to commit suicide for the umpteenth time again as soon as she realized she was still awake in the hospital. He is not a fool who should need to ask his whereabouts and position now. He knew, even very well, that now he was in the hospital. Pain in his head and numbness in his left arm made him immediately aware of his condition.

"Lo uda is conscious?"

Adhira turned his head slowly as soon as he heard the voice he hated the most in the world that greeted him first. That's Zeo's voice.

Adhira could not make a sound, there was an oxygen mask on his nose and mouth, his throat was dry after almost three days he was unconscious. He just stared at Zeo with a blank look like he was reluctant to respond.

But from her gaze Zeo knew Adhira was protesting against her. They may be angry or hate because of their presence.

"My family knows about" Zeo glanced at Adhira's flat stomach, as if to give a hint of what the next sentence was. "About your pregnancy, we-"

Zeo glanced at the other direction unwilling to look at Adhira who was staring at him without blinking. The young man looked extremely frustrated as he paused his sentence. "We'll get married after you get better?"

Adhira made no sound, but she closed her eyes, and Zeo could see a drop of tears dripping from the corner of Adhira's eyes. The girl was crying, again.

****

Three days after Adhira regained consciousness from the coma and began to be able to sit and walk on her own, Adhira felt what a sad feeling of being ignored, she felt what a feeling of opinion was not heard. Adhira feels he is the most despicable human being in the world because of the pregnancy of Zeo's child on him. Adhira really felt disgusted and hated about the pregnancy and the existence of Zeo by her side.

Adhira felt that everyone judged her, her mother buried her because of her suicide attempt, Her father impliedly showed her dislike even several times her father had asked her to abort the womb only. Adhira agreed with pleasure, however, the mother and family of Zeo's side again became his hindrance.

Devan and his friends looked at him with pity. Adhira hates being pitied.really hates. He did not want to exist in this crazy position, but for the second time, Adhira could not defend his self-defense fortress. He can only obey and be silent.

He must marry Zeo, they must endure the disgrace together. Raising the child in marriage.

And the day before their wedding, Zeo came to see him again after he only appeared once when Adhira was aware of that time. Japanese youth whose face looks haggard due to lack of sleep and bruised because of the blow dipped 90 degrees. Like someone so very guilty.

Adhira recalled, Zeo looked at her with puffy eyes, as if she had cried. While holding his wrist that seemed to be broken. Zeo approached. Saying one difficult sentence Adhira digested.

"Adhira, for our former problems, for your present condition, for the child's pregnancy, I will be responsible."

And after saying that, Zeo went and came back again tomorrow afternoon but no longer as Zeo the delinquent, but as a figure of his life partner. And along with that, Adhira had lost her teenage years at the same time.

***

Adhira and Zeo sit side by side in the dining room of Adhira's house, which is filled with Adhira's extended family and both parents and Zeo's three friends.

Zeo and Adhira did not make a sound at all, both of them even just smiled faintly when spoken to or teased by Adhira's brother and his friends.

Their marriage felt very bland, especially for Zeo, no family came even his two sisters were not present, Ah, Zeo forgot his parents came, and his family did not come, but what could he expect from those two parents who had hated him so much.

Zeo is like marrying without an escort at all, fortunately Neo, Dean and Bastian continue to encourage him. A little lessening its solitude.

"Zeo Uda finished school, right?" said one of Adhira's aunts. Zeo did not know his name, but from the way Zeo spoke, Aunt Adhira has a bad character of eleven twelve with Adhira. Stiff and demeaning.

Zeo smiled, he nodded, "Uda Tan,"

"Where do you want to live after marriage? Go back to Jakarta, to Japan or still here. Uh, you are not a WNI yes difficult dong ya if you want to stay here continuously" said Aunt Adhira.

Zeo grimaced, to be honest he didn't think that far. He did not even think about how he could live and live in one house with Adhira later.

"This is a aunt, Dhira does not want to be far from mama." cut Adhira that makes Zeo, papa and mama Zeo glanced at each other. Because Papa Zeo had wanted to send Zeo back to Japan to take care of the company.

But considering the unstable psychic of his son-in-law, Papa Zeo just nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Adhira did not have to be far away afraid there is no place to complain. If there's anything there, yes if anyone cares," another aunt Adhira said, insinuating Zeo, because all the Adhira family think this is all Zeo's fault. Moreover, knowing Adhira attempted suicide because they thought Zeo did not want responsibility. Though Zeo did not know any problems about Adhira's pregnancy if not from Panji.

Zeo smiled faintly, trying to act ordinary.

"Yes, if in the same area alone, his behavior can not be maintained especially later if separated far away, duh can not be overshadowed." The second Aunt Adhira said.

Zeo clenched his hands for a while before re-releasing him to reduce his emotions.

"Ck, what will you do after this, Zeo? Work or go to college? But yes if aunty says you better work, right now uda become the head of the family uda want to be a father again, not maybe just messing around with your friends right? What do you want to eat with your wife's child? Don't be allowed to behave, responsibility is also dong"

"But if you don't go to college, what do you want to do?" tymbal aunt Adhira the beginning.

Zeo glanced at his three friends who already looked bored with the two aunt Adhira, he then glanced at his mama and papa who looked uncomfortable Zeo denigrated. In any case keouaraga Zeo is a distinguished family in Jakarta and in Japan.

"Ekhem, Sinta, Dewi, you guys are silent why the hell don't be so chatty. Not good" said Granny Adhira who was silent from the beginning.

Both aunt Adhira look at each other not accept when reprimanded."Yes, we as aunts are just worried about our only niece. What's wrong, what else is the same behavior of this husband" nyinyir aunt Adhira named Sinta it.

"You are not polite!" Grandma Adhira said again, this time somewhat snapping.

"Ekhem, don't we want to have dinner tonight? How do you talk? Dean uda laper this is so." cut Dean bravely, he was really fed up with both aunt Adhira. They think it's appropriate that Adhira has a sharp mouth, it turns out that the tantenya is worse.

"Oiya, let's-let's eat,"

And that night, it was the hardest dinner for Zeo as he continued to get intimate here and there.
