Marrying Sister-in-law

Marrying Sister-in-law
Ega Prasetya


More than a month has passed since Dinda's funeral, and now the virgin and her mother take care of the little one. They chose to stay at the parents' house. If during the day the mother takes care because the data is working, if the afternoon and evening the virgin heart is guarding, and taking care of it.


Although sometimes Pras chose to sleep in his own house, but he came to see his son every day.


Ega Prasetya is a cute little baby. He's grown up well. Ega is not fussy, he will only cry if hungry and wet the bed. Dara took care of her with love and affection. She takes Ega to sleep in her room to make it easier to take care of her.


Even though he still works in the office. Her boss Mr. Arfan is very kind and does not allow her overtime to take care of her nephew.


Mr. Arfan was also present at Dinda's funeral and always supported the virgin.


...****************...


Tonight after the forty-day anniversary of Dinda's departure, her papa and mama as well as papa and mama Pras sat gathered in the living room.


"Where, "call her mother


"Yes ma" said Dara from inside the room.


Dara came out of the room after putting her baby to sleep.


Dara did choose to bring her son to sleep together in her room. Her son, though not from her womb but virgin can feel her bond with Ega.


"Well, we want to ask Dinda's will, when will you and Pras get married?" pras' parents asked when Dara had arrived in the living room.


"Sorry before, I can't, Auntie. I don't want to marry Pras, Let Ega stay with me, and Pras stay in his own house. I'll take care of Ega like my own son. Auntie doesn't have to worry."


"But why son?" again Pras' parents asked in a sad tone.


"I. I can't love Mr. Pras, he's my brother's husband." replied the virgin


"But what about Ega, she needs a mother, and also a will from Dinda.." seeming to pause for a while, everything was silent including dara and Pras.


"How is besan?" pras' parents asked papa and mama dara.


Mother moved to sit next to the virgin, her hands gently rubbed the fingers of the child, the girl was the girl who interlocked.


"Dear dear, think of Ega, son. pity her, if until someone else who..."


"I'll take care of her ma, without having to marry her father. He'll stay with me." Cut the virgin fast


"I don't want to be separated from my son!" pras replied in a high tone. It's his patience. He had been silent since hearing their discussion.


It's good that he wants to separate me from my own flesh and blood, who he is, he has no right to anything because I'm his parents.


"Do you think I want to marry you too?" he stared cynically at the virgin.


"But Ega needs Pras' mother, there must be someone to take care of her." denied his mother


"I could use the services of a baby sitter ma, but I would never want to part from her "


"Didn't you promise in front of Dinda! ask your mom with a disappointed face


"Give us time to think" the data says


"Mom is not sure with this Bu hu baby sitter can take care of her affectionately. Especially in this day and age there are so many evil baby sitter events, even they kidnap the baby. I was afraid, What if for a while let Eka stay with us" said mama Dara.


Pras has already been emotional and hurt with virgin, indeed since the first their relationship is not good.


"No, I don't want to. I'll still take her, I can do the selection first looking for the best baby sitter and sincerely take care of my son."


"Don't be selfish, we've lost Dinda to your selfishness and we won't repeat the same mistake of giving Ega away." dara refused to lose.


"Who can you arrest me?" pras asked in a loud voice.


The look in her eyes pierced sharply making the virgin shrivel.


The question is so poignant in the chest of the virgin, dara runs out of words to refute.


A mocking smile appeared on Pras' face, 'He's my son, I'll take him wherever I want, and you." he said pointing right in front of the virgin's face.


"You have no right whatsoever to prevent me." Pras walked into the virgin's room to retrieve Eka.


Dara was silent, Pras said rightly, she was just her aunt, but I....


"Ma, let's go home" said Pras who had been holding his son.


"I'll excuse you, assalamualaikum."


Dara was crying and sitting on the floor when Pras went to bring Eka, even Eka was crying loudly in her papa sling.


"Pras," called his mother and rubbed his son's back slowly.


"I'm fine ma, the girl has always looked down on me, I don't accept, how she can be my wife and mother to Eka" Pras said


His chest felt tight to hold back emotions from earlier.


"Here let's hold your mom, your baby's afraid to see your anger, that baby's sensitive, son. And she could know and feel if her parents were fighting."


Pras paused for a moment, then he exhaled a heavy and powerful breath.


After giving the baby to his mother, Pras drove his car home.


...****************...


Pras put the baby in the crib and then she wrapped it. Pre sit and edge of bed.


The shadow of the dinda and all the memories between them swirled, without him noticing the tears falling.


Why did you leave me so quickly, why did you evil let me raise Eka alone,


Pras's daydreams froze to hear Ega's crying voice. Ega cried loudly, Pras picked her up and checked her diaper, not wet. Then Pras took the bottle of milk that he had prepared and tried to breastfeed his son, but again Eka refused.


"What's Pras?" ask the mother who came from the next room.


"So ma, she just kept crying" Pras said, still trying to calm her baby.


Mama took Ega from Pras's sling and tried to calm her down but still the same, Ega did not want to shut up.


Pras continued to cry loudly, even though it had been an hour. Pras who was confused took her to the hospital. "Is it possible that he is ill Pras?" ask mama


"We'll take her to the hospital, ma'am, come on?' pras said his mother followed his son's will, he was also afraid of something happening to his only grandson.


Along the way, Ega did not want to stay silent, making her mother more panicked. Pras drove the car fast. Hope to arrive at the hospital soon.


"How's my son doc?" pras asked after the doctor examined his son and now Ega was fast asleep.


"So far she's been fine, where's her mother?" ask the doctor


"His mother had just died during her childbirth" replied mama lirih


'Oh sorry, then who took care of him all this time?" ask the doctor again.


"the tower." answered mom


"I think he misses him, because physically he's fine. Usually young children are more sensitive and they will feel comfortable and safe with people they know. I'm sorry I mean, young children can be more sensitive and have a strong bond. Could it be that his n tantenya is the one he misses, because I've already checked it out and he's fine" replied the doctor


"Thank you doctor" Pras replied without going long.


"Tonight stay here, pity if you wake him up, tomorrow morning can be brought home."


"Okay, we'll stay the night" replied Mama


After the doctor left, Pras Bu Evi's mother sat down next to her son. Swiping Pras' back who sat down while looking down weakly.


"Don't be stubborn son, your son needs a mother, and he's very comfortable with the virgin, they already have a bond of bathin" said the name slowly and gently. Because he knew Pras his son was very stubborn.


"Tomorrow I'll find a baby sitter for Ega, and I'm sure she'll be comfortable with him." Pras replied


"As for you, mama just reminded."


After talking her mother away and choosing to leave Pras, Bu Evi chose to sit beside her grandson's bed and stare at him. "This little baby has to suffer because of his papa selfishness, be patient, son." Said slowly.


In contrast to his mother Pras chose to go out and walk towards the park in front of the hospital, sitting aloof and contemplating.


In an instant his safe and comfortable life turned upside down by a hundred and eighty degrees, his wife died and he had a child, but that was not the case, Pras was able to raise Ega alone but his wife's late will to marry his twin sister became a heavy burden on Pras' heart.


Pras took a heavy breath and threw it away violently, hoping that the burden inside his chest would be slightly reduced.
