MAKE ME SECOND
MR BRATA'S PERMISSION

"Pradana, what's the problem with your tumben to the papi house?" asked Mr. Brata to Pradana who was sitting near his papa who was in the middle room of his house.

Yasinta is seen being pulled by Ms Sisca to the dining table behind the house.

" No one, pi! I just want to talk to papi about a serious problem" Pradana said, smoking like her papi. The middle room was deliberately not lit by his AC so that Mr. Brata and Pradana look free to enjoy his cigarettes in the room.

" Just say it here, papi will hear it." said Mr. Brata.

" All right!" said Pradana and still sucking slowly the cigarette that was in the crack of his finger.

" What's really important?" asked Mr. Brata with a smile and looked at Pradana.

" Papi! It's about my happiness that is not perfect." Pradana replied with a smile.

" What else are you going to look for? Treasure, position, and also the wife you have got. What have you not yet obtained? Those ladies?" said Mr. Brata.

" If you want a lot of women, don't let your wife know her, Pradana." added Mr. Brata.

" Good, papi! I'm not the kind of guy who likes to hang out with those obscure wild women out there. Women who peddle their bodies for money. I just want the woman by my side with love and affection" Pradana said.

" Hahaha, that's good! Your moral education and religious values are pretty good at applying in your footsteps. Thank goodness, I as your papi am very grateful for your stance" said Mr. Brata with a happy smile and laughter.

" Papi, I want to have a child!" pradana.

" Loh! Why do you talk about this with your papi. Tell that to your wife, Yasinta. Start a children's program if you need to go for a honeymoon with Yasinta" said Mr. Brata at length.

" I talked to Yasinta about this. And Yasinta has allowed and supported her." Pradana said.

" then?" ask Mr. Brata.

" What I'm talking about is." Pradana said she couldn't continue the story.

" Tell me the obvious! Papi doesn't want to play guess with you, Pradana!" said Mr. Brata.

Mr. Brata was surprised but still listened to the story from Pradana until it ran out.

" then?" sahut Mr. Brata with a long sigh and took one more cigarette and then he gave it a signal. Now the pull is deeper because to his surprise of the reality he heard.

" I've met that woman, Pi. And I want to marry that woman. Her biological age is almost four months." Pradana finally told me.

Now Pradana is silent and rekindles her cigarette.

" How did Yasinta respond to this?" ask Mr. Brata.

" He's letting! He supported me to marry that woman. If you don't believe me, ask Yasinta yourself. I've been honest, Pi. That woman is the only one I really love, Pi! I've never played crazy out there, even though I'm capable of and have a great chance at it" Pradana said.

" Isn't it permissible in religion to have more than one wife, Pi?" ask Pradana.

" It's true! But will you be able to hold back the tears of your wives someday so that not one drop of her tears will fall? It is possible that in the material you can give more and enough for them. But sharing that feeling, whether you can control both hearts of your wives so as not to cry in the heart because it hurts." said Mr. Brata.

" The problem is using the heart, Pradana! And I think Yasinta, if I could choose, didn't really want this to happen. You will marry the woman you love" said Mr. Brata.

" But even if it is not allowed, you have already impregnated him. Yes!" said Mr. Brata at last.

" Thank you, pi! I will try to make the two women who are near me happy pi." said Pradana.

" well! Later let your mommy will papi tell you slowly. When is the plan?" ask Mr. Brata.

" When we can go to his house soon, pi. I don't want to wait too long before Mandala's belly gets bigger" Pradana said.

" Mandala?" ask Mr. Brata.

Pradana just nodded slowly.
