Grasping
Part 17's
After returning to work at Yusha's house, nothing is different, the days are lived as usual. Niar is getting worse with the circumstances around, he began to feel at home in that house.
"Sir, this is herbal tea." Niar puts a glass in front of Yusha. The young man had prepared in formal attire. This morning Kelvin, the secretary who used to come to pick up Yusha is still nowhere to be seen. So Niar only made one glass of herbal tea for Yusha.
"Sheli doesn't talk to you anymore?" yusha asked without switching from the business newspaper he read.
Niar who was still standing before Yusha shook his head. "No Sir. But may I be honest, I strongly object to the marriage."
"I objected too, but I'll give you anything in return if you agree. As Sheli said, you only conceive my son and give birth to him, after that you are free."
"I don't want anything in return. I was afraid that after the child was born, I was not willing to part. A mother's instincts no one wants to part with her child," Niar lowered his head by squeezing his fingers. It does this when you feel awkward or nervous.
Yusha let out a long breath, "If after the child is born and custody is with me, you can visit him at any time."
"And as long as you are my wife, I try to be fair, to meet your needs and to treat you like a wife" Yusha said.
"I can't give you an answer yet, sir. Miss Sheli doesn't discuss it anymore, hopefully it can still change her mind. Wouldn't it be better for Miss Sheli herself to be pregnant with your child."
"Hem .. but, if the marriage finally happens, I have a ban on you, lest you fall in love with me. Because it will hurt your own heart. You can't get involved in any feelings, because whenever the woman I love is only Sheli." Yusha said seriously and looked at Niar who was also looking at him with sad eyes.
Even before it started, Yusha's words hurt her heart. Niar was hesitant to accept the offer. She had imagined the wounds and pain she would experience after becoming a second wife. A wife hidden from the eyes of the world. What justice will be received?
'You take it easy, sir, the person I love is only Brother Aris. I will not fall in love with you! It will never.' Niar only dared to hide.
Drrt ...
The mobile vibration shocked Niar, he immediately picked up the phone and saw who was contacting. 'Father'
"Assalamu'alaikum, sir," replied Niar.
"Niar, can you let me go home today?"
"What's wrong, sir?" Niar was already alarmed to hear the trembling voice of Mr. Bejo.
"At home there is a problem, our house will be confiscated debt collector!"
"What's? What's going on, sir?" Niar who was shocked to the point of unconsciousness had raised his voice.
At that time Yusha clearly saw the change in the look of Niar's face, making him curious but did not want to interfere because it was not his business.
"Okay sir, Niar try to get permission." After the call ended. Niar immediately looked towards Yusha.
"Sir, may I let you go home today."
"How many days ago you just came home" Yusha replied without turning from his toast.
"I beg you for today only. At home there is a problem, I have to go home right now. Let's just say I take the end of the month off," said Niar with a sad face, anxious mixed with tension. Both corners of his eyes had shed tears.
"All right, you'll have permission. But the end of the month there are no more holidays." Finally Yusha gave his permission, not having the heart to see the woman almost cry.
While enjoying breakfast, Kelvin suddenly appeared. "Good morning, sir. Sorry, I'm a little late" Kelvin said, bowing briefly before Yusha.
"No words, Vin! The one called late is late. And you know I don't like people who aren't disciplined!" Yusha glanced sharply at his secretary.
"Once again forgive me, sir. I won't repeat it again" Kelvin replied with a frightened bow.
"Hem ...." Yusha just cleared his throat and went back to eating toast with a glass of herbal tea.
In Niar's room wept. He put some things in a small bag. "Oh my God, what really happened? Why is my father's house almost confiscated? I hope you, mom and sister Nesva are okay." Niar said to himself with worry. He cleaned his water and went out of the room.
As Niar lowered his head and was about to pass the dining table, Yusha looked towards him. The man could see the tear marks on Niar's cheeks. 'What is his family's problem so serious?' inner Yusha.
"Wait, Niar!" Yusha stops Niar's steps.
"Yes, Sir?"
"If your return is too urgent, you can ask Dedi for help to take you."
"Ti–no need, Sir. I can take the bus and public transport." Niar himself gave an unconvinced answer. Want to accept an offer from Yusha but not hearty if troublesome.
Actually, he was afraid if he was late to go home and the dept collector could hurt his family. He knows what a debt collector dept looks like, does not hesitate to hurt customers who are late to pay the debt. Previously Niar often saw Sumiati in the bill dept collector, but not to confiscate the house. But this time the debt of his mother must be much more, because the guarantee goods were also land certificates and houses.
"Vin, tell Dedi to drive the girl home. And make sure the afternoon they're back" Yusha told Kelvin.
"Okay sir" Kelvin replied and immediately got up from his seat.
"Come with Kelvin. You will be in between Dedi," Yusha told me.
"alright. Thank you very much, Sir. Excuse me." After saying goodbye, Niar followed the steps of Kelvin who was almost out of the house.
Yusha did not reply, the man was silent and curious about the problems that had occurred in the Niar family. But that's not his business.
After finishing his breakfast, the man started to leave the dining table and left for the office.
••••••••
On the way home, even though the car that was riding had complete facilities with nonstop AC on, but Niar's forehead and palms were wet with cold sweat. He ceaselessly prayed in his heart with fingers that looked at each other.
The girl was too anxious to think about the state of the house. He was afraid that his savings were not enough to pay off his family's debt and the only house he owned had to be confiscated. Where will they all live?
Niar hopes this time Nesva can help, Nesva's salary is much greater than his salary, should the brother can pay half.
"Sir, please go a little faster!" niar's orders.
Niar's hopes of saving for the future should run aground. The girl had to give up the savings she had to repay her family's debt. It was also the cause of Niar crying, why must he who continuously sacrifice. Sometimes he wants to give up on fate, too tired to be a piece of meat that has no justice, always looked down upon and utilized. When will he meet his beautiful destiny?
