“No, I do not want to marry master David well, he is too old to be my husband.” Kenisha strongly refused her marriage to David.
Although David is a rich man and ruler in the hill country, but Kenisha who is only 17 years old is not willing if it has to be in the middle-aged man 40 years.
How not, it was the same as him marrying someone who was the same age as his father.
“Kenisha, I don't want to hear any excuses from you, anyway I don't match you not with bad people, master David is a good person, I just want you to live happily, son, don't be like us now, let's see.” The eyes of Revelation turned to all corners of the room of their stilt house, which was as wide as a chicken coop.
“But father, I do not love master David, I already have a mooring of the father's heart, please do not force me to marry him, if you feel unable to give me food, please do not force me to, I'm getting married now, but it has to be Leo,” Kenisha said.
The request of his daughter made Revelation great riled.
“You're stupid or what the hell! Leo is just a poor young man with nothing, his work is also just odd, just like your father and mother!” Revelation pointed towards Lilis who kept her head down in fear of her husband's explosive anger.
“But I love him dad.” Kenisha continues to maintain Leo who has been in a loving relationship for 2 years with him.
“Kenisha, once you get married, you will know, what is the difference between love and matter! You should be aware of our situation all this time, because this is one example of maintaining love, end of suffering, you do not know the inner burden of father, you do not know the inner burden of father, you think you don't cry blood when you see your son and wife often don't eat because they can't afford rice?” the reddened eyes of Revelation held back her tears, she was deeply touched by her daughter who would not obey her words.
The test!
For the first time Revelation cried in front of her whole family, it was all because she was unable to endure the pain in her heart, because she felt disrespected by the princess.
“Dad...” instantly Kenisha feels guilty.
“Mas, don't cry, forgive Kenisha, she just Belun understand the situation.” Lilis stroked her husband's back.
“Dad won't force you anymore son, but before you go to the rice paddies bu Nani, look first at the rice baskets in the kitchen.” Apocalypse who cried when he rose from his seat, he left his family to the field of Pak Sarto to join picking the chili that was harvesting.
Lilis who was sitting next to Kenisha started giving advice to her daughter.
“Indeed he is not your real father, but the last 7 years he has assumed his responsibilities as the head of the household, although she only has one child with her mother but she never differentiates you guys, Kenisha.” Lilis tells her husband's kindness to his daughter.
“But mom, I can't leave Leo, I promised to marry him next year, mom.” Kenisha who has tied the promise with the lover feels heavy if you have to leave Leo just like that.
“Kenisha, while the yellow path has not curved, we are still free to make a choice,” said Lilis.
“Bu, what's the point of having a treasure if my mind is tormented? Mom, Leo is my future, even though he's just a poor guy but he's very kind to me he respects me and appreciates what I say, about money can be found mom.” The naive Kenisha still thinks life without love is like a flowerless garden.
Hearing her daughter's reply Lilis stroked her painful chest.
“His age is 4 years, but he has not been able to speak properly, often sick and his body is short and thin, unlike his peers, although you are only a graduate of Junior High I think you understand that your sister is malnourished.” The narration from Lilis makes Kenisha silent.
He lowered his head to think what he should decide.
“Our goal to marry you to her is nothing but not so that you do not lack anything, if your sister Rohimah is asked by grandparents after she grows up, mother and father will give it, he said, cause what? Because mom and dad want you to be able to live a decent life, not what you are today! To taste rice alone is difficult, a week may only be once or twice! The rest if lucky it is also from those who are moved to give us alms! Do you want to stay like this forever?!” Lilis yelled at her daughter.
The conscious Kenisha was just a head-scalp, unable to answer what her mother said.
“Master David is also not stupid Kenisha, he wants to choose you, because you have a beautiful face! A respectable person seems to be able to get anyone, you should be grateful to be pinned by him, after you become a mistress, we just hope that you will share a sack of rice for a month, that's all! Think deeply!” after giving enough information to his daughter Lilis also rose from her seat, because she had a job to clean the garden of the village head.
When only Kenisha and her two younger siblings left, Andri the youngest hugged her brother who now shed tears.
“My brother is hungry, in the kitchen there is no rice or cooked yam.” Andri was holding her stomach which kept ringing.
Watching this, making Kenisha more agitated, he went to the open kitchen without a roof or any other walls of cement floor behind his house.
Taps!
When Kenisha opened the lid of the basket where their rice was stored, he saw that there was not a single grain of rice there.
“Hufff.” Kenisha sighs long. “real that father said true.”
Next, Kenisha looks for what can be cooked in a sack that is usually a storage container of sweet potatoes or potatoes.
“Gosh!” The Kenisha that was originally standing now even crouched on the clay where it stood.
He who was still dizzy thinking about their situation suddenly heard the sound of sobs from Andri and Rohimah who were already hungry.
Perhaps true, it would be better if I married that old virgin, the Inner Kenisha.
His two sisters who were still crying made Kenisha forced to give red clay that was common in the consumption of ancient people.
He also took a green plastic plate from the bamboo table where their kitchen items were leveled
Then Kenisha went to the hills not far from his house, because there was a lot of red clay.
