Hello Arvin!
Responsibilities
Everyone was looking at Nara. The expressions of his father, his mother, and Reza are difficult to read, between disbelief, confusion, anger, not to mention. Nara shrieked in her bed. His head became so dizzy and his body went limp again. It felt like he wanted to faint again to avoid all the gazes towards him.
This is impossible!
How could she get pregnant so easily? How can she only do it once she's pregnant?
What's he supposed to do? What does he have to say to all these people?
“Ra, what does this mean? You pregnant? Who pregnant you?” Reza found his consciousness again after being shocked by the doctor's speech. How did Nara get pregnant? Even during the courtship they never touch each other.
“NARA!” Jerking dad.
Nara's body has almost no strength, she can't even speak. Only silence and tears fell down his cheeks.
“Astaghfirullah.. Astarghfirullah.” Now it was her mother's turn to cry. Hitting his chest, unable to believe the girl he was so proud of had already tarnished the family name.
“Who's father? Nara!” Her father was getting angry because of Nara's silence. With a single jolt on his shoulders, his father made Nara's weak body sit out of position.
“Say the same father! Who's got you pregnant? Huh!”
Nara could feel the grip of her hand on her shoulder, she grimaced in pain. But keep quiet, it's hard to answer that question. Her father continued to yell at her, Nara could only bow to see the fingers she clenched. Tears fell there.
“Nara, quick answer questions Father!”
“Arvin.” Nara answered between her cries.
Ja. That damn guy who already desecrated her and made her pregnant. Both of his parents must have known who Arvin was. The male they received well a few weeks ago was a vicious predator who had wiped out their daughter's future.
Everyone was stunned, shocked by Nara's reply. But the most visible is Reza's anger. He met Arvin when he picked him up in the rain. Throughout the week, Reza continued to talk about how unhappy she was with the words Arvin had spoken. Perhaps in his heart, his conjecture had been true all along. That Nara was very interested in her rich boss compared to him. Until he bravely did something with her. Although it's not really what it is.
Nara is stupid. Nara is slow. Nara is stubborn. Had he not ignored Arvin's question first and checked it straight away. He could abort his contents right then and there. But she too believed that everything would be fine, strongly believing that she couldn't possibly get pregnant that easily. Just because one night was related to that br*hsek's man.
After that, it felt like a black-and-white film. Almost without color. What he remembered was Reza's face filled with disappointment and anger, the accusations and ridicule he threw at Nara could barely be remembered, he said, he stepped away from the IGD with tears welling up at the corner of his eye.
His father won't take him home. But her mother kept screaming and begging her father not to leave Nara in the IGD.
Though the trip home from the clinic was no more than 15 minutes, but it felt like the most painful million years Nara had ever felt. During the journey, all Nara heard was her mother's sobs.
Ah Mother! How could Nara hurt him? He set foot on Arvin the wicked man that day. He should have just gone home, hugged his mother. He said his marriage was broken at the time. Because now the result is the same. Reza is still gone and her marriage is also threatened with failure.
Darkness occurred in Nara's house, mother did not stop crying in the middle room. Amelia tried to calm him down, but her sadness and disappointment could not be lost. His father spoke on the phone with his eldest son, Naufal. Which is now in the site of oil palm plantations in Riau for survey of work affairs.
Nara could already imagine her brother would be so angry. Probably beat him when he got home. Her father was nothing compared to her brother, who was very strict towards her. Especially now that Nara smears the family's good name. Pregnant out of wedlock.
His older brother interrogated every man close to Nara, including Reza. He won't let his only sister be tainted by just a man's hand.
In the room, Nara could only roll in the bed, confused, scared, and disappointed. On himself. Nara seemed to be able to repeat every second the reaction of her parents and Reza in the clinic earlier. Now what should he do? Must what?
“Dek,” Call Amelia soft. His sister-in-law was trying to calm down and neutral in the face of such a chaotic state as this time. She stroked Nara's hair gently. Trying to sympathize and understand the circumstances of his sister-in-law.
“I don't want to, Brother. I don't want to see Arvin. This was unintentional. It's wrong Arvin!” Nara Whine.
“Bu Asih was already calling father, Reza does not want to continue his marriage. They are angry and ask for compensation for all costs that have been exited for the preparation of marriage. And now that you're pregnant, you can't conceive alone without a husband. You have to hold Arvin accountable, Ra.”
“I can remove the content, Kak.”
“Astaghfirullah.. Nara! You can't like that. You even increase your sins by killing your own son.”
“I don't care. I don't want to have a son from Arvin, don't want to if you have to marry him!” Shouted Nara hysterically. Fear was closing his heart. She would not be able to marry the one who ruined her life. Nara hates Arvin.
“So why did you manage to do such a rich deed, Ra? Do you know what the consequences are if you do that? You are an adult and know the risks.”
“I didn't realize that, Brother. I'm drunk and Arvin benefits me. I never want to admit it's the same he.” The crying did not stop.
Nara shared all the details of the incident that day. For the first time to be able to tell everything now, to Amelia. Somehow she felt safer telling her sister-in-law. Nara knows that among all people, the sane Amelia accepts her stupidity. At the moment Amelia is not her enemy who will justify all her actions.
Sure enough, Amelia sympathized with him. This is not entirely Nara's fault. Both wrong. But among them, Nara was the most harmed. Amelia hugged Nara's body which was still trembling from crying. Hope her husband tomorrow doesn't beat this sister brutally. Amelia was worried. Her husband and both her parents must know the part of the story that Nara never expressed.
...****************...
Arvin just finished his band practice. Lately he's been more diligent to Groove Bar, just just stepping on the guitar and chatting with employees there, all of whom are friends of Arvin. Somehow his mind was still not calm and kept thinking about Nara's situation.
It's been almost a month since that incident. He never forgot her one day. His wish was to hear the girl's voice again, making sure that she was okay. Although her feelings are very strange as the day gets closer to Nara's wedding day with her boyfriend.
Why is he like this?
Was it because of that night that Arvin couldn't forget Nara?
After saying goodbye to friends, Arvin left the bar. He took his favorite electric guitar to the car. Before starting the engine, Arvin opened his old phone he kept in his work pants pocket. An unidentified number called him twice. Arvin did not lift. Maybe because he was busy chatting with Ganjar. The number called him again. Intrigued by the call, Arvin caught it.
“Halo, Arvin.”
“Yes? Who?”
Pause a few seconds, Arvin can hear the sound of crying behind the phone, “Gue pregnant, Vin.” The sound of crying became clearer after that.
“Nara?”
“Lo will be responsible, won't you, Vin? You'll be responsible, right?” Nara murmured between her cries.
“Iya. I'll take responsibility. I'm going to lo.” tomorrow
Arvin should now be wailing, confused, scared, or running away from it all. But strangely he felt that he suddenly had hope, like an inexplicable feeling of pleasure. He was obviously actually scared. I don't know what Nara's parents would do to her. Also the fact that she had to tell her parents too, added to the list of scandals and bad behavior that would be pinned for her.
Surprisingly all those fears were mixed with a feeling of relief. He can see Nara back.
