Forced Marriage Alea
PPA 4# Married

Alea looked at the face in the mirror. The face of a young girl with perfect makeup in a modern white kebaya. Unfortunately Alea's life is not as perfect as the makeup and clothes she wears. I don't know where destiny led the way of life that he had to go.

He looked carefully at that face. It was filled with the strokes of sadness that seemed through the water of his face. It felt like it had escaped from the tiger's mouth and thrown into the crocodile's mouth.

"Sister, called mama. Your husband's family has invited you back to their house" Kania's voice boomed in her head cavity. Stripped his head very hard. Creating a pulsation between the two temples.

Alea massaged her temples repeatedly, easing the pulsations that were getting hit. Surrounding him as if darkening hearing the words of the husband spoken by his cousin's sister.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Kania asked over to Alea who looked olic at the place where she stood. "You from yesterday did not eat anything, I made sweet tea well," Kania passed leaving Alea pecking in front of the mirror.

Unknowingly a clear feather dripped down his cheek. His right hand dropped him to the chest, squeezing the chest as the pain rained down on his heart. The innocent girl could no longer endure the seething claustrophobicity, imagining how she should live life with the status of a wife. A status he had never imagined would be held this quickly.

"Sister, have a drink first well," said Kania who had returned from the kitchen to make a cup of hot sweet tea for Alea. He thrust the drink into Alea's mouth, half forcing her sister to open her mouth and ready to drink a sip of sweet tea.

"Udah is enough, thanks to Kania," Alea pushed the cup that was still hanging in front of her lips. Forcing a smile that failed to adorn her tiny lips. The girl just sobbed, venting the tightness in the chest.

"Please, God must have a plan for someone as good as you" Kania held Alea in her arms.

Gently rubbed the back of the girl who was getting sobbing in her arms. Kania, who was only one year old with her cousin, could feel the suffering of Alea. How old they should still enjoy the good times of adolescence, it should be entangled in the bonds of forced marriage.

"What's my fault? Why do I have to go through all this?" Alea spoke stammered at his whim.

Kania can finally hear the voice of her dear older cousin. From yesterday he tried to invite his brother to talk but only replied to silence by Alea. Not a word came out of his mouth. However, when her brother spoke, Kania was silent. He was unable to find the right words to answer Alea's question. Only a deep breath of the two would be the answer in the end.

"I don't even know what kind of person I've married Kan to" Alea said.

Alea's mind drifted back to the scene one week ago. The last thing she could remember was sitting together with Yuri in a hotel room. However, he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night with a man in a hotel room without a thread attached to his body. The worse the man's family caught them with such an embarrassing condition. So that at this time he could not avoid the marriage that was forced upon him.

"Sister Al's been trying to contact your friend again?" Kania asked disperse Alea's daydream.

"I've resigned, for days I kept trying to find Yuri's whereabouts. But he's like being swallowed by the earth. Just disappear. Not even one member of his family can meet. They and their families have moved house" Alea said with a still loud cry.

"He didn't go to college at the same place, either. I even begged the campus to tell him where he moved to college. But they didn't tell me," Kania said in a desperate tone.

"It seems like this was indeed Yuri's doing. He couldn't have disappeared suddenly for no reason. But why would he set me up like this? What's my fault with her?" Alea said more to himself.

"How else would you like, however I'm married. Like it or not I have to go through all this,"

"This is all because Mama and Papa forced you to get married. They should have opposed this marriage, "Said Kania withstanding indignation.

"Do you know who that man's family is? They are a family that has a business empire in the country. You'll be able to pay all your debts to us if you marry him" Uncle's voice boomed in his ear at the time. Produce up to the recesses of the heart and make a clear circle is not able to he can bear hardened on both cheeks.

"You've humiliated the family with the adultery you committed. You should be grateful that man is willing to take responsibility. Otherwise, you will forever carry that disgrace with you wherever you go" Auntie said so echoes in her head.

Made the girl's tongue cuckoo and could no longer argue. Although in a bad way, Aunt's words were true. He should be thankful that he is responsible. Although he himself felt that nothing had happened between them that night. However, Alea herself could not believe for sure what had happened. Only Yuri had the answers to all of her questions.

"How did we escape?" The crazy idea just flashed through Kania's mind. Returning Alea's consciousness from her daydreams about Uncle and Aunt's words before the wedding took place.

"Where's the dust? you don't mess with Kania" Alea replied can still find common sense in her head.

"We go to Kak Farash's place in Jogja," Usul Kania.

"That's not the way to deal with Kania's problem. You can't deal with problems by running away" Alea jolted with her own thoughts. Realizing that she had to face the problem, not crying.

"But this is your future, sister, where can Mama and Papa maksa you make a marriage like this,"

"Uncle and Aunt were not wrong. This is entirely my own carelessness. Purely my mistake. So I have to face it,"

"But Mama should have listened to Papa for Kak Al's reasons. Supporting Al at times like this. Not even to urge Kak Al," Kania's voice began to rise. Feeling annoyed by the attitude of his parents who always antagonized Alea. Especially after his brother Farash moved to Jogja to continue his Bachelor education which continued until he studied Post-Service. Kania's parents are torturing Alea even more.

"You should have allowed me to tell Brother Farash. I'm sure, Brother Farash will defend you Brother," Kania continued.

"You should take your promise Kania, don't tell Kak Farash anything" Alea pulled Kania's hand, clasping her tightly. "Let Kak Farash concentrate on the same lecture,"

"Fast or later Farash will also know,"

"But not from you, let Brother Farash know by himself. But not from you. Promise?" Alea's words were only answered with a half-hearted nod by Kania. Not fully accepted by Alea's decision.
