Grasping
The Part 19

Mr. Bejo shed tears hearing Niar's words. Those words were able to hurt his heart as a family priest, because as the leader of the family he had failed to guide his mother. Until injustice continues to befall Niar.

"I'm sorry, Son. Forgive me, Father." Repeatedly Mr. Bejo apologized to Niar, clutching his daughter's fragile body and shaking from crying.

"That's what mom hates me, sir. Is this Niar's fault in this family?" Niar's cry sounded bitter, stifling his chest.

Nesva kept quiet to see her father and sister hugging each other with sobs. Both corners of her eyes shed tears. Either because of guilt or because it gets carried away.

While Sumiati looked the other way without looking at Bejo and Niar. Sumiati's heart had hardened like a stone, so that the eyes of his heart were always covered with hatred.

All this time Niar worship remained in the wind then, without the slightest in his sight. Even the cruel mother seemed happy to see the sadness and pain that Niar always experienced.

"Mom don't want to know, we have to find a way out so that this house is not confiscated!" sumiati. The woman did not feel at all guilty for hurting Niar with her hate speech. Even though the sentence he said was able to break Niar's heart to melt with nothing left. Niar was still sobbing bitterly, but Sumiati did not care.

"Mom not ashamed to talk like that? That debt is for the benefit of Mom and Nesva, you should be the ones who are more responsible!" sentak mr. Bejo. The middle-aged man took off his grip on Niar and turned to stare nyalang at Sumiati.

"Here you as the head of the family, what happened to your wife and children must be held accountable!"

"In times like this Mother considers the Father as the head of the family, have you ever heard my words before? Have you ever appreciated my decision? Ask your eldest daughter, can she help us in times of trouble like this? He also used the money!" Mr. Bejo turned to look at Nesva.

"Nesva needs a lot, too, sir. But Nesva did not forget to set aside a monthly salary for Mom. So you don't get Nesva wrong" he replied.

"How much salary do you set aside? Your salary is large, it should be able to ease the burden on the family, but your expenses are not under control, until you whine to your mother to owe moneylenders" said Mr. Bejo.

"Don't blame Nesva! Working in a big office, demanding Nesva always look beautiful, sir. And that beauty needs capital, so I try anything to make Nesva look perfect. It can also support his career to rise to office." Nesva's mistakes and ugliness remain in Sumiati's defense. Her eldest daughter remains the main one.

"You are the ungrateful. Although Nesva is required to look beautiful, but does not have to do plastic surgery! Beautiful is relative to his heart, not just his appearance," refuted Mr. Bejo.

"Sir, no. It's free to argue about what happened. At this time it is more important to think of a way out so that this house is not seized by loan sharks," said Niar. The girl was calmer and had stopped crying.

Mr. Bejo catch his breath, trying to dampen the emotions that are still controlling themselves. It is true that Niar said, there is nothing to discuss what has happened, will not solve the problem. Right now it is important to find a solution to pay off all debts.

Mr. Bejo sat back down by massaging his temple.

"You're the one who has to bother, son. Savings money for your future must be used to pay off the debt," replied Mr. Bejo was not happy.

"What's wrong, sir, Niar is sincere. It's urgent."

"My salary this month is only five million" Nesva said. "I can't do more than that" he added.

"Even to pay off the interest is still less," said Mr Bejo. "You don't know where the rest of you have to go. That much money and only given a grace period of two days. If we can't find the rest, just get ready to sleep under the bridge!" mr. Bejo looks frustrated. His old face was getting shriveled and pale.

"Niar, you work with rich people, try to borrow your employer, who knows he wants to guarantee you money" said Sumiati.

"My master is rich, Mom. But it's impossible for Niar to borrow that much money. Niar's salary is only 3 million in one month, how long will we pay off the debt? Mr. Yusha also couldn't possibly give me a loan, except ..," Niar's remark hung in the air. He was silent for a moment with a tense face.

"Except what?" ask Sumiati. Niar did not answer. Sumiati raised his voice. "Except what, Niar! Say it!" his insistence.

"Ke–unless Niar wants to be his second wife," Niar replied with a blank look. The thing he feared the most and tried to avoid is now one way out.

"What ...!" Mr. Bejo and Sumiati shouted at the same time. They were both shocked to hear Niar's words. No exception also with Nesva, but the woman just widened her eyeballs to look at Niar.

"Good boy, that's not the way out. You don't have to be the second wife of your own master. Nah! You disagree." Mr. Bejo refused firmly. He could not let Niar be the second wife of his parents.

"Niar rejected it too, sir! Niar also does not want to be a second wife who is only in her womb rent to conceive the son of Mr. Yusha. Niar does not want! But there is no choice at the moment. That's the only way out." Niar's tears that had receded now flooded the smooth cheeks again. Niar bowed in the bitterness of his destiny path. He wants to avoid the marriage, but circumstances that seem to support the implementation of Sheli's plan.

"You don't have to sacrifice yourself, son. This problem exists not because of your mistakes, you should not be involved in a marriage that will only hurt you. There will definitely be another way," Mr. Bejo said with his repellent.

"Which other path did you max? Can we raise that one hundred and twenty-five million in two days? Please if there is a way out, Niar became the second wife of his master" said Sumiati.

"Sir ... !!!" mr. Bejo shouted furiously to stop his wife's madness. How could Sumiati just agree.

"Mom, sacrificing Niar to be a second wife is not the best way out. That marriage will hurt Niar. Moreover, the marriage that occurs is not because of feelings of love, marriage that only benefits each other. Can you sacrifice Niar to bear this problem alone? You won't agree, we'd rather lose our house than my daughter's second wife!"
