Marrying Sergeant Major
~ 100 ~
Shortly after hearing the good news that Arimbi and the baby were safe, I who wanted to go straight to the hospital was prevented by my father, he held me and asked me to beat him in a game of chess, because I still can't control my emotions. Only then was I allowed to go to the hospital to see my new family.
"Take a wait until Za finishes cooking, let's beat dad first"
"But yeah, I have to prosecute my son, don't I?"
"The fire's been complaining, you can do it again later, but beat dad first, and go after dinner"
"Please well, I couldn't prosecute Lala, and now I can't prosecute my son?"
"It's your fault, Bima. Since you can't control your emotions and can't help but be patient, so you miss the opportunity to accuse your second child"
"Bel_"
"Don't complain much" Dad pulled my hand and pressed my body to sit in my position.
"This is the punishment of the man who cannot resist anger. What do you need to remind" said the father arranged chess pawns to their respective positions. "There are two things that God likes"
"Weak and not irritable" I replied spontaneously.
"When you know why you should be angry? If only you could hold back your anger and choose to wait for Arimbi to finish the operation, you would definitely not lose that chance"
"Your baby part must be observed and Arimbi is still unconscious from the influence of anesthesia, so why are you there" I suddenly heard the voice of a middle-aged woman who was like my own round.
My father and I turned their faces towards him.
"Mother!"
"You tortured mom, Bim. Because of you, the mother must ride your motorbike that is so stingy, the mother's hijab so messy"
"Why didn't you take a taxi?"
"Mas Ken tuh, who maksa mother make her bonceng"
"That's because of Ken bun, not because of me"
"For the two of you" replied the mother as she passed towards the kitchen. "You take a shower and keep eating, you know you haven't eaten since lunch, after eating you can go to the hospital"
Damn it, everyone was holding me on purpose. I wanted to see my own wife and children, but they closed my access to go see them.
Speaking of chess, how can I beat my father if my concentration is divided between Arimbi, Lala and our son. Some of my other thoughts kept remembering how Gesya was telling the truth about what she had done to my family.
Really, it feels like I really want to get rid of him from my life and Arimbi.
And after the fourth game, I won against my father. A chess match that always makes me defeated both by papi, Danu's father and also Ken mas.
Since I can't wait to see my wife and baby soon, Za finally made me some food so I could eat earlier.
After the shower and dinner, I rushed to the hospital at ba'da maghrib time.
I thought that after I saw my son and met Arimbi, he would hug me, but he didn't.
Arimbi turned his face away from me, after peeling the back of my hand. She continued to face her mother and accepted her mother's bribe, which was feeding her.
"Darling" Call me shamelessly in front of my mother-in-law. Unfortunately, my call was not answered by my most beautiful woman in the world.
"You drink mom"
Arimbi received a glass from his mother's hand and gulped the contents.
"Bi, how are you doing now?" I was still trying to persuade him to talk. I sat on the right side of the bed with my mother on the left.
"Darling, sorry I didn't come here quickly because_"
"Mbak Za's been treating the wound?"
"It's dear"
Then silence for a few seconds.
"Already, mom. Arimbi is full" said Arimbi refused his last feed.
"Dead one more son, this responsibility. In all of you yes"
"From now on Arimbi forced mom, but this really can't go in"
"Yes already"
Mom finally gave up.
"What about mom?" ask Arimbi.
"Lala came home with Irma, she insisted on waiting for you, but you never realized, finally brought home with her. Come back after the shower and dinner"
"Thank you ma'am, please help Arimbi outwit Lala"
"Why say thanks?" reply mother. I just kept listening because Arimbi seemed to be angry because I just left and did not accompany him while the doctor took surgery last afternoon.
"Mother go home first yes, there is already your husband who changes to take care of you, tomorrow mother come again bring home food for you"
"Yes ma'am"
"Mother go home first Bim, pick Arimbi yes!"
"Yes ma'am"
"Darling, I'm sorry" I said sincerely as I grabbed her right hand and gently kissed.
"What did you do to Gesya?" he asked without looking at me because he turned his gaze to the left side.
"Don't you think about me and the kids beating him up?"
"I'm khilaf Bi, sorry"
"Are you satisfied with beating up a woman?"
"I beat him up not without reason, he's disturbed the life of our little family Bi, I can't just be quiet"
"But you don't have to beat him to a pulp and get treated, right?"
"Yes-yes I'm sorry, I lost control"
"What happens if Ken and Dad don't come after me?"
"It's bi, don't remind me anymore. I admit I was wrong"
"Why is it always too late to admit mistakes?" My woman still won't look at me. "First mas admitted wrong because it was too late to realize my love, continued mas admitted wrong because it had handed Lala to mbak Hana, and now mas also late to admit wrongdoing because it had beaten Gesya"
"Will there be a fourth error?" add Arimbi in a flat tone.
"God doesn't exist, Bi"
"Related?"
"Related" I replied firmly.
Only then did Arimbi turn to the right and our gaze immediately roped.
"Why can't you control yourself?"
"I can't accept what he's doing, Bi"
"At least appreciate his honesty, his courage to admit that all his deeds are extraordinary, it can be said that he is a hero. Rarely does anyone admit to their crime"
"Yes but_"
"Promise yes must be able to control the emotions of the high mas"
"Yes"
"For me and the kids"
"Yes" I kissed Arimbi's hand.
"Regardless of everything, what would you do to Gesya?" Arimbi asked with fervent focus looking at me.
"What do you mean, Bi? Obviously I'll make a report to the police"
"But if I don't think so?"
I was stunned as soon as I heard his words
"You mean?" ask me not to understand.
"Don't report it to the police, we're sorry. Anyway me and our son are fine"
"But, Bi_"
"Please mas, do not make mistakes that will later make the incident mbak Za repeated in children?"
"What did you say Bi?"
"I know Nina's mother was never wrong to Sinta's mother, but if the mas reported it to the police, I'm sure the sentence was at most only ten to fifteen years. When Gesya gets out of prison, how about he avenge his heartache by kidnapping our children while we're little?"
"It can't be that, Bi. Wrong must be punished in order to deter"
"Yes, if you're upset, you know how Gesya is? Okay now he's sorry, what if he's determined? Hearts can change, right?"
When I was about to express my objection, the nurse suddenly interrupted by opening the door of Arimbi ward, then pushed into the baby trolly containing my son.
"Sorry to interrupt sir, ma'am"
"Yes just" I got up from my seat. Then help Arimbi sit leaning on the head of the bed.
"Are there any complaints from Arimbi?"
"There are no sisters"
"Alright, try to sleep on your side, slowly is okay"
"Yes the nurse"
"And please give Asi for his debay" he said then carrying the small body of my son wrapped in cloth bedong and then handed it to Arimbi's hand.
To be honest, I still can't accept Arimbi's decision.
It's delicious to mess with people's lives, but even forgiven. Fortunately I had a chance to beat him, at least if Arimbi insisted on freeing the snake woman I was half satisfied to give a lesson to him.
