When it had been two weeks Eve did not also show signs she would return to Jakarta, at that time her parents were suspicious of Eve. So that night after dinner was over, her father and mother invited me to talk.
"Wa, called father," said Ms. Marni to go to her daughter's room. Eve nodded and hurried to follow the steps of her mother who had already left the room.
Both of his sisters are not seen in the tv room maybe they have slept because tomorrow must be school.
"Sit down Wa, I want to talk to you" said Mr. Tarjo when Eve was in front of him.
"What's up, Dad?" ask Eve a little worried. Maybe you called him to ask for his return to Jakarta.
It's his fault that within two weeks, he should have been able to open a conversation to his parents, start telling the truth so as not to be haunted by guilt and pursued by other lies.
"Dad and mom are glad you're here but we're worried about your job in Jakarta. Aren't you in the village too long?" ask Mr. Tarjo to the point.
"Yes, Wa. Later if you are fired because you are too long in the village. It is not good to disappoint your boss, let alone say that getting into the company is difficult" his mother added in support of Mr. Tarjo's statement.
"Eve just looked down, squeezing her fingers a little nervously with the interrogation of her parents. It seems like the time has come for him to be open, honest about himself who will not return to Jakarta.
"I'm sorry, if I've been lying to you all this time. I will not be returning to Jakarta. I have stopped working and intend to stay in this village alone," explained Eve ventured. He does not want to avoid it anymore.
Both of his parents who heard this were shocked, not expecting that they had lied to them.
Mr. Tarjo's heart said that there were serious things that Eve hid from those who made her son depressed and chose to leave the city of Jakarta. Tarjo wanted her son to be brave and open to them his parents, if not to them, then to whom else Eve shared her grievances.
"What problem do you have, so you have to quit your job?" follow Pak Tarjo in a soft tone trying not to sound intimidating to his daughter even though he was very worried that there was something serious that Eve hid from them.
"Not anything serious, Dad. I just want to go home and settle here, maybe there's a little money left over while working in Jakarta, it'll be used to open a business," she said she hoped there would be no more questions from her parents. He was even more afraid that his mother's father knew what work he was doing there.
"But you're sure there's no problem you're hiding from mom and dad?" this time Miss Marni spoke up. As a fellow woman, of course, Bu Marni had suspected her son would not return to Jakarta because there was someone who might hurt her, because it was time for Eve to have a lover. Maybe the issue of romance one of the causes of this daughter decided to go from there because Bu Marni had seen Eve pensive while staring at the screen of her phone looking at a photo of the man she kept in her phone gallery.
"Yes, if you don't want to go back to Jakarta, it's also a good decision, we can re-assemble here," said Mr. Tarjo develop a smile on Eve solely want to make the girl more comfortable.

The problem of his return was settled, now all he had to think about was what business he would open, there was no way he would apply again to the store, where he worked first.
Dizzied at what effort she was going to open, Eve came out of her room, immediately went to the stall to see what she could eat. Lately his appetite is crazy, intermittently he must have felt hungry again.
"You hungry again, Wa?" asked Miss Marni who was a little surprised to see Eve's appetite. Miss Marni frowned, because Eve had just eaten two hours ago and now had taken a plate to eat umpteenth time that day.
"Yes, Mom. Though already eating earlier, but already hungry again, is it possible because of the change in the village yes, the cold air, so the innards are hungry continuously," replied Eve scooping rice filled the plate.
Marni's mother did not respond to Eve's response. His forehead is wrinkled, a mother who has been pregnant several times, of course, can judge and know from the shape of a woman's body if there are changes in her. Suddenly the thought flashed through Miss Marni's mind. Instantly his face was pale. Silently, Ms. Marni continued to watch her daughter who was eating voraciously in front of her.
"It is impossible, but if you look at the behavior and attitude of Eve whose mood also goes up and down, just like a pregnant woman," her mind remembers when she was pregnant Eve in the past.
Miss Marni immediately went into the house, left the stall on Eve who was eating there. She intended to meet her husband and tell him what she was thinking at the time.
"Don't be crazy, Mom. That's our son! Did you accuse him of that?" refute Mr. Tarjo who did not accept the thought of Bu Marni.
"I also do not want Sir, to think about it but if you see the attitude and also the behavior of Eve exactly the same when the mother was pregnant. Shouldn't we take it to the midwife, sir? Fear if it's really pregnant, and getting bigger, we can't do anything anymore" said Ms. Marni with a stifled voice. She did not want the conversation with her husband to be heard by Eve who could have suddenly passed from the front of their room.
Inevitably Mr. Tarjo ended up being influenced by the words of Ms. Marni. How will they face the villagers if the daughter is pregnant. If there's a father, if the baby doesn't have a father who will admit it?" the fall will be a disgrace and a fruit of the lips in the village.
"How, Sir?" press Bu Marni who is increasingly unsettled.
"Then you take him to a midwife in a neighboring village, not one here. I don't want Eve to be the moons of this village. If you need to take him to town, ma'am. Pity your daughter later if she's really a prostitute."
"Keep if it's true, what should we do, sir? I'm sure that Eve's not married yet, can't we keep the child while she doesn't have a father?"
"What are you talking about, Mom? If Eve was pregnant, would you throw the baby away? Sins Ma'am, eling! After all it's his flesh and blood, our grandson! You do not fear sin by casting away God's creation? The baby is innocent l, the wrong one is the behavior of his father and mother!" tukas mr. Tarjo.
