Mother entered and hurriedly closed the door, she locked it from behind. I will never forget what my mother looked like that night. Blood flowed from his lips and nose, his cheeks were scarlet red, his eyes were swollen and a pinch of hair was lying on his shoulders.
Mother looked towards Ranu who was already outside the window and I who was just about to jump out.
At least I didn't feel afraid when my mother caught me in the room with a man, I didn't care about it at all. I'm just worried about mom. I approached and grabbed her hand, led her to my bed, I swept the hair that had been pulled from her shoulder, and wiped her forehead.
"Ranu will ask the neighbors for help and call the police."
Mother's eyes furniturealak and he immediately shook his head. "Don't!" preventably. Mother turned to Ranu. "can't. No!!"
Ranu who was preparing to leave, looked at me.
"Your father is drunk, Dance," said the mother. "If you call the neighbors and call the police, the situation will run rough, believe me. Just let your dad sleep now, you're sure tomorrow everything's gonna be okay."
I'm shaking. "But I just raped* mother!"
Mother looked down and grimaced, then she shook her head. "Not like that Dance, we're married. You're too young to understand, so please understand, don't call the police." Pinta mommy came back to me and Ranu.
After that mother started crying holding her head with both hands, I hugged her and joined in crying. I've never seen a mother this sad or this scared.
My heart was completely broken, as my mother cried in my arms, I looked around, and Ranu was home. I helped you clean your lips, nose and eyes, but you didn't talk about Ranu at all.
💡 Note:
Although already bound in a legitimate marriage, married couples still have adab in the relationship, the, moreover, there is already a law that regulates Article 53 of Law 23 of 2004 on the Elimination of Violence in the Household that regulates that sexual violence criminal acts in the form of forced relationships *****al done to the wife or husband is a complaint.
If you remember her father, the heart of Dance seemed to be filled with hatred, even though her father is now gone. For Tari his father's departure is a breeze of freedom for his mother, he opens the next page.
Dear diary,
I'm ready to talk about Europe. Tonight as usual Ranu stayed in my room, he said that he changed his mind and did not leave. He didn't want to leave me alone in this house, he was so worried about me.
I tried to convince her that I would be fine and to persuade her to leave.
"I promise you, after I finish my education and get a job. I will come back to you again." said Ranu while looking deeply at me.
I nodded and smiled at him. I did not want to look sad so I asked him to tell me about Europe, because actually I had never set foot on the blue continent.
"I was actually only there once, with my mother to visit uncle" he said.
I so imagined what it would be like to live in a luxury condominium equipped with a beautiful rooftop and a swimming pool in it..
Ranu also told me about the food there, and almost all the menus he could make. I know if Ranu likes to cook but I did not expect that much love for the world, he said that he could actually cook some food from various countries. "I hope one day, I can cook for you every day. I guarantee you won't be bored" he said.
I laughed, "I eat everything." I said. Actually, more precisely, whatever he made, I definitely liked him a lot.
And the last he tells about the beautiful scenery in London, precisely Buckingham Palace which is the official residence of the Queen of England which part of the region can be used as a tourist destination. "But in London there's no girl as pretty as you."
His words really made my heart float into space, Ranu kissed me so sweetly. "One day I want to take you there."
We kissed again, and did something else I didn't need to write here.
In the morning, I said goodbye to Ranu, he hugged and kissed me for so long....
Dance turned the next page, but then she closed the book tightly. There was only one more writing, but he did not know if he really wanted to read it now or would never read it.
Dari keeps the diary in the closet, he feels his life with Ranu has ended, he said, Ranu does not need to keep all his promises because he has a lover and Dance now feels happy.
I'm happy now.
Dari grabs his phone to charge it, he sees two messages from Tara and one message from his mother that he has not read.
Tara:
Hey, I have an honesty that I want to express. Be ready in 3... 2...
Tara:
I was worried about being in a relationship with a woman, because it would add to my burden and responsibilities. That's why I always avoid it. My busy life was quite a lot, and seeing my parents who seemed depressed due to marriage, plus the many failures in my friends' marriages, made me not want to be involved in marriage at all.
But after tonight I realized, what's going on between us isn't such a responsibility. It just feels like a gift.
Tonight, before going to bed I will think of a way to get the prize.
Dari smiled reading the message sent by Tara, then she opened the message sent by her mother.
Mother: Mother:
You and Tara are both business people, although in different fields, but you think you two will fit and complement each other.
