Father of My Son
Please Be Angry About Him
Both Ezra, Kelvin, Sayu and Ana - all called by Bu Suli even though the night is late. Seeing the arrival of Bia and Dira bringing Divan would be a big bang for their teacher. Moreover, all this time he always believed both of them were smart children and Dira always took good care of Bia.
"Try repeating in front of your cousin," said Ms. Suli. Since then Divan who was asleep in the lap of Bia became the object most highlighted by people who just arrived at the house.
Dira took a long breath. He leaned his body slightly forward while clasping his hands together. "This child is my son and Bia" I thought to his teacher. Back Miss Suli swallowed disappointment. At first he thought it was just a joke of Dira and Bia.
Kelvin frowned. "How come? Meanin? You guys were ...."
"Explain all! You're a man who should be in charge of explaining this!" It was clear that Bu Suli's face was holding back emotions. "Before that, you lay your son in the room first, Bi. Let the Analyst deliver."
Bia nodded. Ms. Suli called her only daughter, Analyst older than six-year-old Bia. The analyst escorted Bia to the guest room.
"The part of you that explains how you can have children?" firmly Ms. Suli.
Dira is ready to be judged. However, he realized his position was wrong. "Don't blame Bia. What we did to have the child started from my own initiative" Dira explained.
Hearing that Kelvin shook his head. "When High School?" guess Kelvin.
Dira nodded. "So from High School you guys do stuff like that and you still have to leave him with Cloena?" Not knowing why, Kelvin was still upset because Dira left Bia. Now more upset to know Bia was abandoned after her chastity was snatched.
"I didn't know she was pregnant at the time. He didn't say it either" replied Dira.
"Keep if she's not pregnant you can just not take responsibility? In Heren living together without marriage is still natural, but you grew up in Emertown. You know the customs of this city. If not you, who would accept Bia after this? Ever thought of getting there?" nagel Ezra's.
"That's how you used to behave so often! I don't think about other people's feelings!" Kelvin added.
Usually Dira can chimed in these two cousins. However, due to his mistake, he chose to accept their scolding. His cousin also made this a chance for revenge.
"Mom always believed you could take good care of Bia. In fact, the fence itself eats the plants. Even more stupid, I let you be with that woman. Without you knowing if Bia suffered by herself from enduring the shame."
Dira that night was exposed to long advice and scolding. He contemplated his actions since knowing the existence of Divan so that he was ready with all these slurs.
Bia nodded. "Tante had a heart attack because he knew I was pregnant" I'm Bia. Ana and Sayu are devastated. They could not imagine how Bia was then.
"Then your aunt died, who took care of it?"
"Neighbors. Because we don't have any relatives either." Bia twisted the seam side of the tablecloth in front of her while looking down at the floor.
Dira is equally shocked. Bia did not tell him about this matter. He also hasn't asked.
"The neighbors who call you?" mama Suli asked more clearly so that she knew how far the girl's suffering was.
Bia shaking. "After aunt's funeral, I was expelled. So I stayed at the motel for a few days until I got a place to stay now. Many people did not accept me. I can't hide my pregnancy either."
Miss Suli rubbed her chest. "So you're alone?" his question immediately got an answer in the form of a nod in Bia's head. "Then who accompanied you gave birth?"
"Nothing. I'm alone. To the hospital by yourself, to go home by yourself." Although with a smile clearly visible streak of pain on Bia's face.
The one who feels it the most. If he had to, he wanted to curse himself. In his mind, he imagined how much trouble Bia had with her growing stomach walking alone to the hospital while in pain. However, he was sure reality would look much worse than he had imagined.
"Why not ask someone else for help?" sayu asked while holding Bia's shoulder.
"Divan was born the night of the new tofu. I don't feel good if I disturb other people at parties. Even the doctor and his sister are still embarrassed to meet." Bia was so innocent when she explained the reason.
"You heard that! When he was in trouble so where were you? Every new year's night you must travel abroad with the woman. While Bia has to go through all of that alone. It's so good for your life, Dir!" Ezra was still not satisfied nagging Dira.
"You should have said the same to us. Let us drag Dira to you, "press Kelvin.
