After putting Ega in her crib, Dara chose to leave the room. Without feeling his tears fall. Usually every time he comes here, his brother Dinda would welcome him. They sat chatting and sharing stories until his advice to the virgin to immediately end his bachelor.
Recalling all that, dara felt a tightness in her chest. He went to the kitchen to fetch some drinking water, but back to his memory as they cooked food together, his tears flowed more and more.
Bu Evi came over to him, "Well, you can talk for a while" said Bu Evi with gentleness.
She quickly wiped her tears,
"By Auntie, what's up?" ask Dara
"Let's join Auntie" said Bu Evi who had walked out of the house first.
Dara follows Aunt Evi to the back of the house. There is a small garden with a gazebo there. Pras seemed to be standing behind them.
"What mother called me" said Pras turned and looked at the virgin and her mother alternately.
why did mama bring him here, or don't don't mama.akh.
"We've got to talk. I think you both know what you're going to talk about" said Ms. Evi.
Pras was still silent, and so was the virgin.
"I guess you guys should get married soon, it's all for Ega's sake. You can see, Ega is very dependent on virginity, there is no way you can live together without marriage. What people say later. And there's no way Ega can stay with the virgin." said Bu Evi
"Ma, there's Maya who will take care of it, so you don't need to ask for help from women." said Pras.
There was clearly resentment in her eyes as Bu Evi discussed the matter of her marriage with the virgin.
'But Pras, you see that Ega is only calm and comfortable if he is with Dara. Dara's her aunt, and she's single, so I think you're a good fit to get married, don't you mind, right?" Bu Evi looked at the virgin expectantly.
Dara breathed a heavy breath. Segan refuses but how else does this concern his future.
"Sorry Aunt, I am willing to take care of Ega without having to marry Kak Pras" said Dara.
Bu Evi's face looked disappointed, she had guessed that the two of them were indeed stubborn.
"You two don't be selfish, you know it's hard for you Pras, but think of your son, lest you lose him because of your selfishness" said the mother in a higher tone.
Bu Evi shifted her gaze from Pras to the virgin.
"And virgin, Aunt please son, this is all for Ega's sake. Please think again. Mama give you time to talk from heart to heart, do not be selfish, the fate of Ega depends on the two of you" Evi said more gently than when she spoke with Pras.
After speaking Bu Evi left leaving the two of them.
Silence, silence, even the sound of leaves swiped by the wind was able to be heard clearly. No one tried to start a conversation. Pras dissolves with his thoughts and Dara also struggles with his own thoughts.
A few minutes did not make a sound, Dara chose to leave Pras.
Dara says goodbye to Aunt Evi. "Become home first, Tan. Tomorrow the virgin's office will be back again.".pronounce the virgin before leaving.
Aunt Evi just looked at him with a sad feeling.
...****************...
A week passed, the virgin accidentally did not contact Pras and asked Ega. He held back his longing for the little baby.
If I call her, she can get big-headed and misunderstand me, she can think I like her.
"Why are you? I noticed your end was unfocused, often daydreaming." asked Hanum at lunch in the cafeteria.
"I just miss Ega." answered Dara
"I guess what the fuck, if the kangen just come to his house to clean up."
"I'm reluctant, my relationship with Mr. Pras.
, you know for yourself, right?" said Dara hanging the end of her sentence.
"What makes you not like it?" ask Hanum.
Hanum never thought, what caused his best friend to hate his sister-in-law so much.
"Yes, I don't like it. She's a playboy, I wonder why Dinda would want to be with her" said Dara
"That was before he got married, after marriage wasn't he loyal to Dinda, don't hate him too much because the distance between hate and love is very thin" Hanum said with a smile
"Cannot be. Oh yes, I want to ask, how is your relationship with Mr. Rangga." asked Dara to switch the conversation.
"Well, he proposed to me yesterday, look at this" Hanum said enthusiastically and happily. Showing a ring that is circular in sweet finger.
"Become, you should try to open your heart, many good men like you, try to make friends first, from friendship will grow comfort and love. Oh, yeah, Dedy's silent about liking you, do you want to?" ask Hanum
"Dedi, you mean that economics faculty lecturer?" ask dara not to believe.
Hanum smiled and nodded. Dara breathed her rough breath, and put the spoon in her hand.
"No,"
"Are you still traumatized. Your life should go on, forget the past and rest assured, you'll be fine." Hanum said softly and gently.
"May join," a voice stopped the conversation between the two of them.
"Pak Arfan" replied the virgin when she saw who called them.
Arfan sat next to the virgin. "Have you finished your lunch?" tanya Arfan was stale, even though it was clear the rice in the virgin plate was still intact.
"Mr want me to order?" ask Hanum
"No need. I've eaten. I want to invite dara." replied Mr. Arfan
"Where sir?" ask Dara with a serious face.
"Later you'll know too, finish your lunch" replied Arfan smiling sweetly.
"I've already...."
Derrrt.
Dara looks at her phone and is a little surprised that Bu Evi called her.
"Assalamualaikum Aunt"
say virgin as soon as the call is connected.
"Waalaikum hail, wara quickly to the hospital, Ega is sick."
"Fever high and keep crying, Auntie please, she must miss you" said Ms. Evi as she held back her tears.
Dara immediately stood up, "Hanum I'll go first. I'm sorry sir, I can't, next time. Ega's sick and I'm going to the hospital now" said Dara
"Who's Ega? your boyfriend?" ask Arfan curious,
Hanum silently smiled faintly, he knew Arfan had long since put his heart on virginity.
"he's not Dinda's son."
Dara stood up to leave Hanum.
"Let me interven" said Arfan.
Now Dara along with Arfan to the hospital. The distance to the hospital is not far.
Dara immediately ran into the hospital, Arfan just followed her from behind.
He was so worried about the kid, he loved the kids so much, I don't think I chose the wrong thing
***
"Tante how is Ega's condition," asked Dara as soon as she saw Bu Evi.
"She would not drink milk and kept crying. Until he was short of fluids and now he has a high fever, the doctor has been dragging him.Pity my grandson as small as it should be related to the syringe" said Bu Evi
"Why can this happen!" said slowly. Dara was no longer able to stem her tears, she could not see Ega in her room with the infusion on her legs.
"Ma, where is my son" said Pras who also just arrived there.
"You did what he did, you unsmudgey. I told you, let me take care of her." said dara towards Pras with a high tone.
"you!" pras said no less emotion to hear virgin speech, even though he almost every night staying up to guard Ega.
"Know what you know about my son, go you're not needed here" Pras said.
Arfan just stared at the quarrel between them. He walked toward the chest and tried to calm her down.
"It's bad, it's in the hospital" he said softly.
"Stop, it's not time to argue, my granddaughter is fighting inside there, instead of praying for her you guys are fighting, outrageous!" said Bu Evi scolding the two.
Soon came the mercy of parents. They were all waiting for Ega.
"Sir, you go home. Sorry to bother you." said Dara to Arfan.
"Ok, I'll go back first. And tomorrow you can take a day off, until he recovers." said Arfan.
"Thank you, sir"
After saying goodbye Arfan immediately left them, Pras stared at him without saying anything.
Ega has been moved into the room. Pras booked a VVIP room for the comfort of his son. In his room, his,
Dara carries Ega
and giving her milk, it was magical as if she could feel the presence of her mother, Ega wanted to drink her milk and no longer cry, the heat had also subsided.
The doctor was grateful, and tomorrow afternoon his break will be released, Ega has been allowed to go home.
Dara continued to wait for him, even he did not go home, Pras continued to pay attention to his activities and saw the unusual interaction of the two, Ega really depends on virginity.
Pras must admit if Ega depends on virgin.
...****************...
At night everyone had gone home, there was a virgin and Pras who were still waiting for Ega. The heat has gone down.
"Marry me" Pras said, breaking the silence between them.
Dara reflexively looked at Pras with a look of dislike.
Like the lightning of Pras' speech makes dara surprised not kepalang. Although he had expected it but heard it directly made him confused, angry and disappointed. Disappointed because as soon as Pras forget Dinda, not forgetting but replacing the position of Dinda who is sad he is the one who replaced his brother.
For a moment the two of them met, Pras finally lowered his head, and,
Pras again took a deep and heavy breath, he exhaled his coarse to the point of causing the ******** which sounded obvious.
"I beg for my son's sake" he continued sounding hoarse.
Dara was silent not knowing what to answer. Consciousness seemed to be gone, he did not know what to say.
Married, to Pras? no, it was never in his life plan.
"Sorry, I can't. Ega's problem let me take care of him until he grows up, and you can see him often."
"I don't agree, actually I don't want to get married either,
my wife's grave is still wet, but we have to get married for Ega's sake.
I don't want my son to grow up lacking in affection.
Moreover, he is very dependent on you, I beg you to do it for Ega's sake. I will not demand anything, the most important thing is that you take care of her, and we can live each other's lives" Pras said
Dara closed her eyes, the clear liquid finally escaped and flowed profusely. What marriage will he live, but he himself has no other choice, at least for the sake of Ega and his promise to Dinda to raise his son.
"Because, I beg for Ega's sake" Pras said slowly.
did I not mishear, he who was so arrogant, begged me, how is this.
"I agree, but on condition." replied Dara
"Say, whatever it is I'll fulfill."
"I'll take care of Ega, but I..."
"I demand nothing from you, take care of my son, that's more than enough." Pras Cut.
"All right I agree, and I don't want a wedding. Just a simple kabul ijab."
"All right, I agree."
After the two agree, Pras goes to see his mother and declares if they both agree to marry.
