Marrying the Father of My Foster Son
"I'm the Girl!"

"About what, son? Tell me quickly, don't make us curious!" arumi said impatiently.

Ghani took a deep breath, trying to gather courage in the chest. 'I can do it, Ghan! For Queensha and Rora's sake, you have to be brave and accept whatever risks will happen later.'

"This is a secret about my past. Actually, back in Japan, I broke two rules set by Father and Mother."

With a quick movement Rayyan swerved closer to Ghani, then gripped the collar of the shirt worn by her eldest son. "What do you mean by breaking the rules that your mother and I set? Explain it correctly!" Rayyan's voice sounded heavy, cold and firm.

Again and again Ghani took a deep breath. This is what he feared from a long time ago, facing the father from a distance too close to be able to make his body feel weak as if the presence of Rayyan was able to meyedot all the energy in him.

"The rule I have violated is ... First, I have touched liquor that is not actually allowed in our religious teachings. And secondly, I .. have taken away the sanctity of a girl until she contains the seeds that I have in her womb" said Ghani Lirih, swallowing her hard-earned saliva.

Resign if after this receive punishment from the father. Now or later is it not the same? The truth will certainly be revealed by itself even though it has been hidden as much as possible, still Rayyan must know it. Rather than Rayyan knowing it from someone else, he better tell his father himself.

"You're crazy! How can you do all that, huh?" rayyan snapped with glaring eyes. "Dad sent you to Japan so you could be a great doctor, have a lot of knowledge to bring back to our country not to tell you to have fun let alone ruin a girl's future. Don't you realize that your actions have harmed others, huh?"

"I'm well aware, Dad. For the first rule I broke, I admit I was guilty of my unbearable nature of letting a demon persuade myself to touch liquor. However, for the second rule, I did that not out of my will. At that time I was under the influence of stimulants mixed with drinks. The burning desire made my whole body feel hot and it felt like I wanted to finish it immediately. I ... tormented not to vent my wish, Dad." Ghani revealed the truth that had been kept tight. All the information from the Yogi, he told in front of everyone.

"lik! It must be just your excuse, so that father does not punish you. Tell me honestly, Muhammad Ghani Hanan!" Rayyan was getting breathless. The man's chest was a kembis holding back the anger that was getting more and more burning throughout his body.

"No, Dad! What I said just now is true. I did it not out of my own will but because I was framed by someone so I was forced to do the forbidden deed, Well." Ghani tries to convince Rayyan.

"You know very well that the place doesn't suit you, but why do you keep coming there? Did you deliberately want to cast disgrace on your father and mother?" rayyan shouted as she tightened her grip. Ghani began to have difficulty breathing as Rayyan's grip soon crushes her throat.

Arumi who was still in shock over time was worried about her husband who looked really angry due to the news that Ghani delivered, said, while Queensha can not do anything because he himself was afraid to see how scary Rayyan figure when angry.

"Mas, stop! You can kill your own son." Arumi put her hand on her husband's arm. She could not bear to see the flesh and blood she had been carrying for eight months taking her life at the hands of her own husband. Really, he is not willing!

"Don't persuade me not to make calculations with this damn kid, Bun! He has thrown disgrace in our faces and deserves punishment."

Arumi shook her head quickly. "But not by eliminating Ghani's life, Mas. After all, he is your son, your own flesh and blood. You want to lose one of your children to this anger of yours?"

Rayyan's chest deflated as Arumi's speech began to creep into the deepest heart. The flames within the chest slowly began to dim along with the clutches of the hands that began to loosen.

"Honey, I'm sure you'll regret a lifetime until Ghani's life is lost in your hands. Regrets will come haunting in your every night. So, before that happens let her go. Come, we sit together while looking for the best way out of this problem," Arumi said. Swiping Rayyan's arm and displaying the sweetest smile that always intoxicates the man.

Rayyan released her clutches on the collar of the shirt, then Ghani's body just ripped off on the floor. Zavier and Queensha swiftly helped Ghani and got the man sitting back on the sofa.

"You go with Ghani first, I'll get him a drink." Then Zavier walked into the kitchen. This is a family matter do not let anyone else know. Therefore, he decided to take his own drink for Ghani even though there were two household assistants who could be ordered.

The situation is getting under control. Rayyan was much calmer than before, while Ghani sat next to Queensha with his head lowered. The man's fingers encapsulate the future wife's lentic fingers, trying to find strength from the soft surface of the mother's skin of the beloved child.

"If you have raped a girl, then why not take responsibility for what you did? Why do you want to marry Queensha and start a new life with another woman? Do you want to be happy above the suffering of others?" hiss Rayyan stared intently at her eldest son.

"Of course not, Dad!" sahut Ghani fast.

"Then, why insist on marrying your ex-wife? Do you not think about the girl's feelings when you find out that the man who has taken away his chastity is happy with another woman, while he lives to suffer for your actions. Where's your conscience, Ghani?"

"Because I thought about the girl's feelings, I decided to marry her, Dad."

"You mean, how, son? Not that you said you wanted to marry Queensha, so why now you're talking about another woman. Mother is confused by the way you think." Arumi scowled her head that felt dizzy due to the behavior of her first child.

"It's true I want to marry Queensha, Dad, Mommy. I married Queensha for loving her. However, there was another reason that made me marry my ex-wife. I ... want to account for my past mistakes."

"What other mistakes have you made, Ghani? Oh my God, there are so many secrets you hide from your parents." Suddenly Rayyan's head felt like it was about to break. He turned into a fool who knew nothing about his first child.

Same with Arumi and Rayyan. Zavier massages the upper bone of the nose slowly. 'What dream did I have last night to get involved in First Brother's personal matters. I should have gone straight to the apartment instead of stopping by Mother's house.' Now he regrets his decision to accept Arumi's invitation to have dinner together at home.

Ghani opened her mouth, about to answer Rayyan's question. Queensha prevented the man. Queensha reverberated the palm of her future husband, then shook her head asking Ghani to be quiet.

"Because Mas Ghani has taken away my chastity, Father, Mother. I am the girl who was tainted by your son five years ago" Queensha replied loudly.
