"Udah Yah, don't force Jova to marry the rich man's son. Mother was also afraid that she would be miserable later. Let the mother follow the advice of the doctor to sell the kidney of the mother next door, right healthy mother does not smoke, just look for the one who buys then our debts are paid off."
The deg!!!
Jova's heart seemed to stop, when she heard her mother's speech. The girl raised her face slowly, and her eyes met the eyes of the father. Ask from their view.
"Mother what did you say? Don't you know what the dangers of being a kidney donor are? If we succeed, we can get equal money and the body can still be healthy, and if it fails, the mother will be sick like Jini, not risking life. Dad won't let that happen" Janu snapped in a raised voice.
Again, Jova's tears can't be dammed. When their mother was willing to sacrifice her kidneys to pay the family debts. As a child, he could not sacrifice for his family.
"We're going to sell this house to pay for my father's debts" Janu said in a trembling voice.
This is the home of their grandparents and grandparents. Even if sold, it will not necessarily pay off their debts.
"Jova wants to marry Guntoro's son, Dad, Mom," said Jova, convinced that her hand wiped the tears dripping on her cheek and tried to make a curved line on her lips faintly, even a forced smile could not hide his sadness.
Lasmi looked at Jova with a deep gaze. "Mother, and Father do not want to make Kaliana suffer, by bearing our debts," Lasmi replied. "Our children should we protect and provide for you, not ask you to pay off our debts. This debt is our responsibility."
"Jova sincerely Mother, didn't he just say that we have a God who will definitely protect us wherever we are? Then why did Jova have to hesitate with God's help. I'll take it easy Jova's gonna be okay." Now replace Jova who looked at Lasmi with confidence.
"If you have a job that stays like everyone else, you don't suffer like this. All this is because of a father who has no steady job, so you have to suffer like this."
"Well, it's not that Dad always told us to always believe in destiny. Now don't say that, Father and Mother pray enough for Jova that this is God's best destiny for all of us."
Jova noticed a happy line on the faces of her parents. Although it is undeniable his own heart is gamang. The girl could not even see there was a color in her future, she only saw one color which was darkness.
Jova returned to smile. "If so, Jova went into the room first Mom, Dad, wanted to take a cape bath."
The girl got up from her seat, and swung her legs towards her room.
"Yeah, finally get married too" muttered Jova, stretching out her arms, this is Jova's way of making her parents assume she's not forced to do this, although again he was forced to do all this.
But let him sacrifice for his family. He should have repaid his parents.
Again, Jova should be surprised by Jini's sad face, even Jova saw the flow of tears on the smooth cheeks of her sister.
"I'm sorry Jini, Brother. Because of Jini's illness, I'm the nanggung of all this," so jini, his eyes did not dare to look at Jova.
"Hey... Brother sincerely did it, brother never blamed Jini, now all Jini has to do is Jini spirit to heal. Don't make us sad about this kind of Jini. What I'm doing is not free. Remember you have to pay off with your healing," said Jova by wiping the hair of the sister who was deliberately cut to resemble a man. For reasons sultry and comfortable with his short hair.
Although she has bad hair, she is still a beautiful feminine girl.
"But what if it turns out that what Brother has done and also Father and Mother did for Jini's healing, but God did not also raise Jini's pain?" asked the little girl with a bitter smile.
"No idea your struggle until this second has been very extraordinary, but come on spirit continues until you recover. How are we both fighting? Sister struggles in the household later with sister's new family, and you struggle to heal," Jova bargained with a voice of spirit, for Jini to also be spirit again.
"Alright Jini accept the challenge of Brother, but what if it turns out that Jini is defeated and will never recover?" lirih Jini, sometimes he who feels pain is also tired to struggle continuously.
Since then their family economy turned upside down, even Jini had to quit school when it should be this year she graduated from junior high school.
God's fate is unpredictable. Jini is often sickly even since childhood her endurance is weak, but only in the know the pain after everything is severe.
The Jova family also had to owe here and there for the cost of Jini treatment, until came help under the pretext of volunteering from the boss of Guntoro, even though they lived in a different village, although it is still a city. On the grounds of kepepet Janu also received an unconditional interest-free loan from the wealthy businessman.
Although Janu and Lasmi also suspect that it feels very impossible for rich people like Guntoro to lend money for free. Later it was discovered that they wanted Jova their eldest child as the wife of her son known as the old virgin, named Felix.
"But Big Brother also promises well, if Big Brother will fight for Big Brother's happiness," said Jini, thin little hands wiped the rest of her tears.
"Every little sister." Jova gave a symbol of respect with a sturdy body. Jini also chuckled faintly at the excited sister.
"We fight together." Jini formed a spirit symbol by forming next to her hand in the elbow.
"Who is afraid."
It is their promise to fight, and certainly to support each other, to give each other strength.
The view of Jova staring at the ceiling of his house that has many holes everywhere, this is the heritage house of his grandparents first, the old house, so it is not strange anymore when there are many holes in the roof of their house.
Renovating a house is a dream of his parents that has long been said, but until this moment they have not been able to realize it. Although when the rainy season arrives, leaking has become commonplace. They will use containers to catch the water that enters through the cracks of the roof of his house.
Jova's body was tilted, looking at her sister's sleeping body at her side. Jini actually has her own room, but since her parents' illness they ask Jini to sleep with Jova, citing fear of what happened.
"The Guntoro family table is coming to determine the wedding day, and I can do nothing but accept the old virgin as my husband" Jova murmured in the silence of the night. Tonight he couldn't even sleep, he thought of bailing out somewhere, thinking of this matchmaking.
Starting from imagining the man who will be her husband who is fifteen years away from her. An old and fierce man was in his shadow. Until the girl bergidig herself imagined the man who would be her husband. Not fierce and must be very annoying, body odor, and snoring when sleeping.
Jova rubbed her face with both palms of her hands.
"Amit... Amit..." He brushed aside his thought of imagining the terrible figure. Until the morning before he could close his eyes.
In a different place.
[If you want your signature. Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon you should be home. I have got a wife for you. There is no excuse, and no rejection.] That was the message Felix had just read.
Brakkk... Felix slammed his phone.
“I swear by anything if not for needing your signature, I do not want to marry especially because of matchmaking,” Felix furious.
No different from Jova, Felix also imagined the same thing, how the woman who will be his wife.
“Village girl, definitely short, ugly, item, noodle-like hair, and tacky,” gerundel Felix. “Amit-amit, my bad luck is very.”
