Forced Marriage Alea
PPA 63# Solving Misconceptions

Alea sat quietly in the room. He missed the time-consuming atmosphere of the office, leaving no room for Alea to think about all the problems that approached. Being alone in a room like this, made Alea inevitably have to think about Farash. At the dinner table, Alea realizes that her husband is insinuating her about Farash. Who else was the one who was still trying to get close to him other than Farash, Alea thought.

A knock on the door blew Alea's daydream of Farash. Rushing Alea got up from the sofa and walked up to the door of the room.

"Sandra's? A tiara? " greet Alea in shock as she saw who was standing in front of her bedroom door.

Alea watched Sandra who was bowed in. While Tiara stood behind her sister with a faint smile on her lips.

"Let's go in" Alea said as she opened the door of her room wide.

Alea passed her two sisters-in-law into the room. Just as she turned her body towards Sandra and Tiara, she was startled by Sandra's embrace.

"I'm sorry.... Sorry for my attitude towards Alea" Sandra said sobbing.

Sandra slightly bowed her body and buried her head in Alea's neck. The girl was still unwilling to endure the increasingly intense cries. Actually Sandra can already control herself after last night's incident. However, after that he was just overwhelmed with guilt for Alea.

"That's Sandra, don't cry. I never blamed you. I can understand why you're acting like that" Alea said as she stroked Sandra's back gently.

"But I've been acting mean to Brother Alea. I didn't even notice you at Cisarua yesterday, but Alea still cares about me. Brother got hurt just to help me," Sandra said on the sidelines of her cries.

"Of course I care about you. After all, you are Mas Ravka's sister which means you are my sister too" Alea said gently in Sandra's ear.

From her tone alone, Sandra could feel that Alea was speaking with a sincere smile that reached into the girl's heart. He then released his embrace on Alea. The girl was still bowed in shame before the sister-in-law he had once despised. However, it was precisely this woman who helped him from the humiliation that almost reached him. He did not know what would happen if he was tainted by a lover whom he felt so perfect. A handsome and educated man born from among the upper class. Those who come from the environment that Sandra thinks is worth it, but unfortunately have no morals that are commensurate with the worldly perfection attached to it.

"I'm really sorry, brother. I regretted judging someone the wrong way. I see a person only in the sheen of the material that surrounds him. Divide them by two parts, rich and poor. Matching and not," said Sandra still bowed embarrassed.

"Come here" Alea said, drawing Sandra's hand, inviting the girl to prick her on the edge of the bed. "You're so young. So it is natural that you still make mistakes in the learning stage of life. The most important thing is, you realize your mistake,"

"I'm also sorry, sis, for having doubted Alea" said Tiara, who stood not far from Sandra and Alea.

Tiara had no idea what had happened to her sister's marriage to this girl before her. He only realized there was something undue, accompanying their marriage. However, seeing the attitude of Ravka and her parents at the dining table earlier made all her assumptions unproven. Even he saw the girl who was sitting stroking Sandra's hand was seen as a sincere girl. So it is not feasible for his brother-in-law to accept disrespect from him.

"We take yesterday as a misunderstanding. So we don't have to talk about it anymore. Agreed?" aela's proposal while throwing the sweetest smile.

Tiara and Sandra nodded their heads together while returning Alea's sincere smile. From the outside of the room, Dilla looked at the smile of watching the scene in her son's room. There was nothing more to worry about in his little family. Seeing her children happy was enough for the middle-aged woman. He should be grateful to get a daughter-in-law who has a heart as wide as the ocean.

"You're here, San?" dilla's greeting broke the novelty that surrounded everyone in the room.

Hearing her mother's voice, Sandra quickly wiped away the tears that were still welling up in her eyes.

"Mama just wanted to find you. Let's go to the doctor now. Mama made an appointment for you and Alea" Dilla continued, stepping into Alea's room.

"Mama will be calmer if the doctor says it like that. Mama's worried about your brother's wound anyway" pointed Dilla at Alea.

"Yes it seems like Brother Alea is indeed quite badly injured," Sandra replied unpleasantly.

"I'm okay. You're the only ones who worry too much. Soon the bruise will disappear, too" cried Alea.

"Here you are, you need not reason. Let's get ready to go. All of you later we go to the obstetrician yah Al," said Dilla presenting a frown on Alea's forehead.

"What's Ma doing?" asked Alea astonished.

"We are consulting. So you can prepare yourself. Mama wants to have a granddaughter soon,"

Alea's face flushed in embarrassment. Having a child had never been thought of by that girl. Even he still felt awkward and embarrassed when he was close to Ravka. His heart just like always wanted to get out of place every time Ravka touched it. What if it's more than that? maybe he died of a heart attack so nervous.

"Well, I'm also not patient Ma wants to have a niece unyu," said Tiara.

"I also want to have a cute and cute niece. But later Mama and Papa would not love me again if you already have a grandchild," Sandra began to release her awkwardness.

"You know, whatever belly was jealous of a child" Tiara touched her youngest brother's forehead.

"Sick to know Brother," Sandra scowled while rubbing her forehead.

The three mothers and children continued to joke about Ravka's son and Alea, not realizing that what was being talked about was held back in shame.

"Let's go. It will be noon" said Dilla.

"I changed my clothes first, Ma" replied Alea who was still wearing formal clothes to the office.

"Okay Mama, just wait here. You're coming with Ra?" ask Dilla to Tiara.

"Ga deh Ma, I have an appointment to see a client about it,"

"But out of the doctor, Mama wants to ngajak Sandra as Alea shopping loh. Mama hasn't shopped in a long time, Mama's hands are already gatel,"

"I'll follow you later, see the client. The power is exciting if we shop together," said Tiara sumringah.

While outside the room, Sherly looks furious watching the four people who seem to be drifting in laughter. There was regret that plagued his heart when he saw Alea being showered with love by the Ravka family. Though all this time he always tried to instill a feeling of hatred for the presence of Alea in the family.

I can't take that girl for granted - Desis Sherly passed by from there.
