Loved Bunian Wolves
45. Aswini's Persuasion
Runi could hear clearly the debate between the mother and the child from inside the room. Although Raka had closed the door, but unfortunately he did not close until the meeting. And the name of the wooden door, still the sound from out there can sneak in through any gap.
Runi's eyes are heating up. Her tears flowed back without being prevented. Raka was heard defending her, but her hatred for her husband had already appeared and she could not just remove it.
Raka did sound happy when she heard the news of Runi's pregnancy. But what is the meaning of happiness if it is tarnished by an affair that is actually done by Raka? And Runi saw clearly with her own eyes. Raka is really playing crazy with other women.
"Go away if you want to live alone with me, son? Without your father, and without your grandmother? Nobody wants us, baby. Even if we disappear, no one will feel lost" said Runi to the baby who still has not responded inside. Although she knew the baby was healthy because Midwife Atun said so, but the size of the baby was still very small, so any agile movements could not be felt by her.
"Mother wants you to be with Widuri, Raka!" Sayup-sayup, her mother-in-law's voice sounded so piercing. "During this mother hopes, mumpung kampung girl is not pregnant, you divorce her back in a relationship with Widuri. But what happened, she got pregnant, Raka! So, what else now? What are you going to do in front of him?"
Runi bit her lips hard to hold back the crying. Ah, no! Abstinence for him to cry over the person who was clearly not expecting his presence anymore. In fact, since yesterday afternoon when he caught Raka wet who was mingling love with Widuri, he had promised himself to immediately leave Raka as far as possible, with their baby.
"Advertise your mother's question, Raka!" aswini's voice was heard again. Moreover, there was no answer whatsoever that Raka gave to him.
"Raka couldn't choose, Mom." Finally, Raka's voice seemed as weak as she had been silent for so long. Runi screeched inwardly hearing Raka's reply which sounded extremely indecisive.
"You must choose! That Runi and Widuri obviously have different classes, Raka! You used to choose Runi, because Widuri left you for many years. But now he's back! He is still single, he also has a bright future because he will inherit the giant palm oil business Pak Baskara! In addition, Widuri also admitted that she still loves you very much."
Raka fell silent. Aswini felt anxious and continued, "Come on, Raka! Leave Runi and reach for Widuri's heart. This is your last chance to reunite, Raka! Before he has!" persuade Aswini with a tone that began to soften.
"Run's pregnant, Mom. I can't leave her," Raka replied in a softly shaking voice. "We've been waiting for this baby for a year. I can't ignore it. She ... He's our son, Mom. Granddaughter."
Runi did not know whether what Raka said was sincere or not. After seeing for yourself how hot Raka's love for Widuri was yesterday, it felt like she had run out of forgiveness for her husband. But if Raka asks him to hold on for the sake of their two children, will Runi be able to do it?
"Curtain!" Aswini grumbled. "Mother doesn't want to get a granddaughter out of that village chick! Even if she was born, she wouldn't want to think of her as a grandchild!"
"Don't do it, Mom! The baby ... He's my flesh and blood. The flesh and blood of the father and mother as well," said Raka, trying to defend her small family.
Aswini laughed heartily. He really does not like the figure of Runi. "Try on, Raka! Do you love your wife? No, right?!"
For a moment, Runi wanted to hear Raka's answer, 'Yes! I love Runi so much, Mom!'
But baby, the question was silent with no answer. Hari Runi again felt like she was torn apart. Has Raka really not loved her at all? Raka couldn't even answer such a simple question!
"If the reason you can't leave Runi is because she's pregnant, then we can eliminate the baby, Raka!" aswini said with a cynical grin on her face.
The door of the room was closed again as soon as Raka made sure that Runi had slept soundly. This time Runi could hear the sound of the door that was clanging tightly.
Runi let out a disappointed sigh as the voice of the chatter between mother and child was no longer heard. Yes, it seems like Raka has taken her mother away from there for fear that the important subject they are talking about is heard by Runi, an unregarded figure who becomes an intruder in their family.

Left alone in the room, now Runi's face suddenly pale. Did he hear wrong? Is it true that Raka's mother, aka the biological grandmother of her baby, said such a terrible thing?
Runi tried to repeat the recording of Aswini's voice in his brain that he had not long stolen. Although it felt uncertain because it sounded so cruel, it felt like Runi's ears were still functioning normally.
'We can eliminate that baby!'
Right, right, that sentence Aswini said? then, what did her mother-in-law mean as 'Destroying the baby?'
Really, Runi could not think of any other possibility. Will she be asked to abort her baby? Or worse, will he be harmed so that the baby disappears?
"No! Can't!" Runi sizzled in panic. Instinctively, he touched and rubbed his own stomach. He had been waiting for the presence of a baby in his stomach for a year. She doesn't want anyone to take her baby! He does not want to lose again!
"Do we really have to go, son?" tanya Runi was full of doubt.
"Your grandmother doesn't like our presence very much. And your father ..." Runi smiled bitterly. He felt trapped by Raka's love all along. He thought, Raka really loves him. She is married to a man who has an unfinished past.
Continue the Run, " ... Your father betrayed our love. He is in love with his ex-girlfriend. She ... He doesn't care about us anymore."
Runi let out a long breath. "Okey, Son. Let's prepare everything slowly. I'll protect you, son. I won't let anyone take you from my mother's side! We're gonna go. Let's just leave your father and grandmother. We deserve to live in peace and happiness, son!"
