Marriage With Lecturer
Accepting What It Is

"It just so happens to be a gathering, now come on in," asked Agna at the time of seeing her parents and also Darren's parents were waiting on the waiting bench near Darren's room. "Bun, Dad, Mami and Papi, let's go in because Darren wants to say the word to me again like the time in the car. Where when I'm with him it's just the two of you" Agna continued.

Al and Hugo look at each other as well as Ranum and Alea because they are afraid if only Agna would be disappointed if he knew how Darren's health is.

"Why even be looking at each other like this? Let's go to pity Darren inside there waiting for us too long" said Agna who now looks to pull Ranum's hand as well as Alea. "Bun, Mommy, come on, let's go in."

"Do you know Darren's current condition?" hugo asked as he felt that the middle-aged man should tell him how his son was doing.

Agna looks to nod. "I know Pi. So, Papi doesn't have to ask me that question anymore" replied Agna.

"really? Did you know about Darren's crippled legs and he's an impotent man?" The middle-aged man asked Agna again because he felt that there was nothing to cover up

with Agna. Because he is afraid that the impact on the future will even be a problem about Darren who is impotent. Considering the pregnant woman and her son are often quarrelling because of trivial problems.

"I-I know." Agna answered nervously, even though she only knew about Darren's crippled legs. "I-I will accept Darren as he is, after all I am in the midst of containing his flesh and blood. So I don't have to worry about it all. Want Darren paralyzed or impotent I still won't care about it. For me, Darren and I will continue to raise Papi's grandchildren, Mami, Mommy, and Dad. That's enough for me." Despite being claustrophobic and so sick, Agna tried to keep talking smoothly without stammering again as before.

"Agna, thank you for accepting our son's shortcomings." Alea just hugged Agna right away because the middle-aged woman was very sure if only the pregnant woman was very sincere in love with Darren. To the extent that makes Agna not look at the shortcomings that exist in Darren at this time. "You are truly the woman God sent to be our son's companion forever."

Ranum's tears didn't start to drip as he heard every line after line of Alea's words that touched the hearts of anyone who would hear them.

While Agna can only continue to convince both parents about him who will not falter with his stance when he knows about the shortcomings that Darren has at this time.

"Let's say another sentence, since both our parents are already here, " said Agna half-whispering in Darren's earlobe.

Darren who heard it was very difficult to swallow his saliva because he could not say the word reference after he had had told Agna to look for another man.

"Don't I tell you you have to find a man who can make you happy and not trouble you like me." Darren also chimed in on Agna with a whispering voice. "For we never know when I will be healed" continued the man who no longer knows what to say to Agna. If only the pregnant woman continued to invite him to refer.

"I only love you Darren, and you don't love me at all, so you keep telling me to look for other men. Oh, is that how it feels when our love is not avenged? Or rather love clapping one hand." Agna lowered her head as she said that. "This is for the sake of our baby, not for me," said Agna who just this time begging for love to the fierce lecturer who always thought of the woman as her enemy but now. Agna even felt very infatuated with Darren.

"Agna, you don't know I'm a man with a lot of flaws. So, I beg you to understand." Darren is trying to give Agna some understanding for now.

Both of Agna's parents and Darren can only listen to what Agna has to say because they feel they have to give Agna time to talk first with Darren.

"Don't you still doubt my love, Darren?" Agna, an anti-woman

Begging in love now the pregnant woman has eliminated the word anti in her mind because Agna really wants to get rid of the word selfish on her just for the sake of a Darren.

"Agna listen to me." Darren grabbed the hand of the woman who was carrying her child. "Don't just talk incessantly without listening to my explanation."

"It is your explanation that you do not want to refer to me, and you have instead made your current state an excuse. Really really stale!" gerutu Agna who felt that Darren might not have the intention to refer to him. "If you don't want to refer to me, okay, I won't force you anymore because I don't want that this one-handed love of mine to make my soul and body go numb." Agna then left there carrying a heart that felt very painful and disappointed because apparently Darren was still firm with the stance where the man still did not want to refer to him.

"Agna, where are you going? Agna ... A.m ...." Darren kept calling out to Agna, the woman whose heart was hurting right now.

"Ren, let alone the one you're worried about if Agna can accept you." Hugo opened his voice. "Pity of our future grandchildren if you are even selfish like this, it could be that unwanted things could happen at any time."

"Pi, I feel inappropriate for Agna" Darren said.

"That's not one reason 'Son, if you're the same as what Agna is feeling right now then you and Agna should refer." Ranum followed up to open his voice at a time when Darren always felt unworthy to be with Agna. "Mother just does not want if you will even make the wrong decision, if you keep thinking like that."

Darren was silent for a while before the man said a reference because honestly he would not be willing to see Agna with other men.

"Om Al, then I want to refer to Agna," murmured Darren slowly.

"Lho, call Om. Must be Dad dong." Al replied to Darren's words.

"Or Darren, let's call Dad not Om." Alea smiled at the moment saying that because the middle-aged woman knew that her son would definitely invite Agna to refer.

"Dad, I wanted to refer to Agna because I couldn't live with him" Darren said as he felt he couldn't get away from Agna.

"Is this pure from your heart? Not because of coercion?" ask Al to Darren.

"Not Dad, this is all pure from the bottom of my heart. If necessary then I will say the word ijab qabul again at this time," replied Darren.
