Marrying My Brother's Fiancee
EPISODE 72 IS STRAIGHTFORWARD
All eyes were on Sarah now, as if her voice was capable of making all the attention turn to her.
Raka was even more surprised, not expecting Sarah to behave so. Something that is almost impossible to do by Sarah considering she is very obedient and sometimes very considerate.
"Darling..."Raka touches Sarah's wrist, trying to remind her, to hold back.
"Sara...!" Mama Sarah looked at her foster child with a piercing glare from across.
"What's this, baby." Mama Raka turned to Sarah who was sitting not far from her.
"Mama, Raka didn't make any mistakes." Sarah took a look at Raka, holding her husband's hand back. As reassuring as a wife she will be ready to keep her husband's honor. Not a fingernail she was willing to listen to her husband being blamed let alone humiliated for a mistake that was not done at all.
"Raka never betrayed her engagement to Sally. He never wanted to embarrass all the family because of his failed marriage after everything was ready even the invitation was partly spread. That's why Raka married me forcibly." Sarah said so flat, her gaze could not be separated staring at the man who was also looking at her could not be separated, with a look of disbelief hearing every word that slid from her lips.
"But, didn't Raka say, Sally and she agreed to cancel the wedding because they both had their own choices?" Papa Raka stared no less sharply at his son.
"She had no choice but to marry me, whom she never wanted to be his wife." Sarah said, now she looked at her mother with a clear face.
"He did it because he saved two big family names."Further.
"Stop this shit, Sarah." Mama interrupted with a cynical voice.
"Maybe now is the right time to tell everything, so that there is no more fear, no more lies to cover up the lies that have happened. It doesn't feel good to always hide from this problem. And again, ma..all now is fine." Sarah was just talking to her foster mom.
"Sarah may be right." Suddenly papa Sarah raised her voice, sounding a little hesitant indeed.
"Father!" Mama Sarah turned her eyes to her husband with a red face. He was the one who came up with the idea and the wedding plan to save their face and Sally's. Of course he didn't want to be cornered in front of everyone.
"I think Sarah's right." Now Raka was speaking in a heavy voice.
"There are some things that we need to get right to avoid misunderstanding, and I'm sure you and your mom will understand." Raka straightened her body, that face was so stiff that it was now expressionless.
"Darling, let me explain."Raka saw an anxious look on Sarah's face, looking at her husband who became a little worried when Raka chose to take on the responsibility of continuing what Sarah started.
Sarah knows very well how Raka, she could have made herself into a villain to save the situation.
"Mama, papa, maybe now's the right time to explain why I married Sarah and not Sally." Raka let out a breath. All eyes were staring at Raka. And very clearly, Sarah's mother's gaze was the most defiant.
"Om and Aunt Wijaya, before I apologize if this must be revealed, my parents also have the right to know the truth. Hopefully after this, there will be no more misunderstandings, no more need to hide. There's no lie between us all."
"Speak, Raka..."Papa's voice sounded heavy, interrupting the sentence from Raka's mouth.
"Two weeks before the wedding, Sally ran away from our marriage abroad." Raka said starting. Mama Sarah looked stiff, but she couldn't do anything. Her own husband was not far from where she sat silent a thousand languages, saying nothing.
"To explain why, you can ask who knows better and may be more entitled to answer." Raka directed her eyes at Sarah's mother who immediately turned her pajamas crimson. He was so careless to realize that Mama Raka was looking at him so curious and demanding.
"Sally's...Sally..." Mama Sarah stuttered, while Sarah looked down, however the woman who was cornered in front of her was her family even though she never really loved him.
"Maybe Aunt Wijaya isn't ready to say why but I promise if Aunt Wijaya doesn't want to say it now, mama will know why after this but she must have humiliated me and trampled on my pride by running away from our marriage."
Raka looked at Sarah's mother, and she could no longer respect her since she saw how she covered up her son's mistakes and gave up her other child as a fall.
That is the reason why, to this day his tongue can not be brought to compromise to call papa and mama to his two parents-in-law.
She prefers to call om and aunt as she was when she was still engaged to Sally. It made her distance so that she did not feel burdened to be close.
"Well, mama...who saved the face of our family, saved my pride in front of the crowd?"Raka clutched Sarah's fingers that felt cold sweat.
"She is my wife now, who even in tears she is silent. He sacrificed his dreams and future for all of us. With no love at all, she just lived through it even though I had insulted her with all my arrogant attitude.That to her, I have owed her a lot."
Sarah lowered her face deeper and deeper, two clear feathers falling from the corner of her eye. He doesn't know what to say.
"But, on your honeymoon, papa look at you so closely..." Papa Raka looked up, as if he could not believe everything he heard.
"Yes, papa.for the sake of a sick mama, for the sake of good relations between two families, for the sake of the sustainability of our business, Sarah has been following me to perform in front of everyone. Who will be prepared at any time to bear the status of a widow if I divorce her."
Mama Raka gaped, her gaze fixed on the child and daughter-in-law with feelings that could not be expressed.
"In fact, the two of us never really got in touch like a husband and wife, before mom sent Sarah to Leiden to catch up with me."Raka clasped tightly onto Sarah's hand, which shed tears in silence. She was like playing a cassette tape, brought back to the beginning of her marriage with Raka.
"Darling, is that true?" Asked Mama with a trembling voice, can not imagine the feeling of this girl living life as a substitute bride who was ignored by the person who married her.
Sarah did not answer, only her shoulders shook, indicating she was crying.
"But I'm going to announce it now, in front of everyone tonight. I have fallen in love with my wife and truly loved her with all my heart. There will be no place for anyone but Sarah in my heart until death do us part. I'm ready to do anything to make her happy and my son is now being conceived by her!"
