I'm Surrendering, Mom!
THE AMM 43

"Pa, I don't want to be away from Gisel especially now that our daughter is pregnant. Don't add to his mental load, Pa." Vera cut their conversation. 

He was the same as Hendarto, feeling disappointed with Gisela. However, if he had to part with his daughter again then Vera could never. She has always felt how difficult it is for a woman to get pregnant. Especially if you have to go through alone, it must be very heavy. 

"But, Ma. If until outsiders let alone coworkers know that our daughter is pregnant even though she is a widow, is that not embarrassing? Divorcing at the age of marriage that has just been a moment has become a talk. Especially things like this," said Hendarto full of assertiveness. Gisela looked down even deeper and only the tears of the woman explained everything. 

"Pardon Gisel, Pa." Gisela's lips seemed to tremble when she said that word. He did not even dare to look at the father at all. 

Hendarto sighed deeply and exhaled slowly. Slightly dampen the anger so as not to rise to the crown. "Tell me the truth, papa, do you still love Abram?" 

Gisela looked down and just kept quiet. Make Hendarto become anxious himself. 

"Papa regarded your silence as the answer that you still love Abram. So, it is better now that you say what decision you will choose" ordered Hendarto. 

"I want to keep this fetus, Pa. He is my flesh and blood and I will never abort him. It's okay that I raised him alone. I also don't want to go back with Mas Abram even though there's still a taste for him." Gisela tried to look calm and sure that it was all in accordance with her heart. 

"Are you sure?" ask Hendarto to make sure.

"Yeah, Pa." 

"Pa, pity Gisel. If Gisel leaves, my mom will go too. Mama will not leave Gisel alone let alone have our future grandchildren growing up in her womb" Vera said. For whatever sake, he desperately did not want to be away from his daughter. 

"Ma—" 

"Please, Son." Hendarto. 

Dirga breathed in her breath. "Om, I'm sorry I interfered too much. But, I think it's better for Gisel to stay here because a pregnant woman is in desperate need of attention and needs to be accompanied. Regarding aborting the content, it is better not to do it because it is not good." 

"But, Son Dirga, Om does not want that until Gisel becomes the subject of the people's insults. Moreover, colleagues om, surely they will ask a lot of questions. Om does not want it to happen," said Hendarto accompanied by a rough sigh. 

Had Gisela chose to go far because he did not want to abort the content, but Hendarto also would not be hands off. He would put a bodyguard to follow his daughter and close the information not to let Gisela's pregnancy leak let alone to Abram's ears. Hendarto was just worried about his daughter. 

"I have a suggestion, Om. But I'm not sure if you'll agree or not. Especially Gisel." Dirga looks doubtful. 

"What advice, son? Maybe I could consider it." Hendarto was impatient. His brain felt deadlocked at this moment and he needed the advice of others. 

Dirga did not immediately reply, he looked at the three people in front of him in turn. Then Dirga focused her gaze towards Gisela who was also staring at her at this moment. 

"Nope ...." 

"I'm going to marry Gisela. So, Gisel does not need to abort the contents let alone leave this house," said Dirga. 

The speech made the atmosphere in the room feel very quiet in an instant.
