Marrying Your Own
Mistakes Overnight
Aldo woke up from his sleep, due to the sunlight that penetrated the window of his room. He blinked his eyes trying to get out of bed with his head still dizzy, after drinking last night.
He looked at the bed, empty. There was only blood on his bed at that moment.
"Tasya where? did he leave again this morning? what is this blood? the feeling last night Tasya did not come by the moon".
Aldo tried to recall the incident last night, but he could not remember it clearly because he was very drunk.
He did not realize that the girl he slept with last night was his own daughter, not his wife.
With a shaky step he headed to the bathroom to get ready for the office. After that, he headed to the dining room for breakfast.
As he walked down the stairs, he could see Kayla's cooking back and Revan sitting at the dinner table, complete with her school dress.
"What are you cooking, sister Kaylanya?" aldo asked, join us at the dinner table.
Kayla did not answer Aldo's question, so Revan answered.
"Pa fried rice cooker"
"Ohh that"
Why is Kayla acting so strange today. He was a lot of silence.
Kayla serves her homemade fried rice at the dinner table, as well as serving a hangover soup to Aldo.
"There is soup. Thank you Kayla" Aldo said with a smile.
Kayla just nodded, then continued cleaning the kitchen.
"No need to be cleaned Kay, later let Mbak aja clean if it has come later" said Aldo, but again Kayla only admired without answering.
Since last night, Kayla has been trying to keep her distance from Aldo. He also answered every question Aldo asked with a nod. Of course seeing that, Aldo felt that something strange happened to his uncle.
"Where's Tasya's aunt, Kay?" ask Aldo again.
Hearing the name, Kayla's body stiffened. His tongue was clumsy, unable to answer. He was imagined by the incident last night, because when he had his body Aldo was raving to mention the name of Tasya, his wife.
"Mama wasn't home from yesterday, Pa. Mama said she wanted to go home in 2 or 3 days" said Revan suddenly.
"What's? Keep the last night sleeping..."
Aldo did not continue his words. He looked towards Kayla who was down, with her body shaking as if she was holding back a cry.
Now he understands what really happened. The man he slept with last night was not his wife but his own daughter.
Stupid alcohol. What I did last night, why I couldn't tell my wife and father apart.
"Revan, now you go to school, yes, you're late. You were also escorted by the driver first yes today" said Aldo.
"Well, why isn't Papa the anterine?"
"Other dad wants to take care of something. Papa promises, you'll go home from school and you'll pick up Revan"
"Yes promise?"
"Yes. Now go yes"
"OKAY. Papa's drug, Sister Kayla"
Kayla only smiled briefly then lowered her head again.
Now only the two of them live in the dining room. Aldo slowly tried to open his voice.
"Sorry Kayla. But I'm gonna ask you, did you do something last night?"
Kayla did not answer and continued to lower her head.
"Om begging you to say Kayla. Om will be responsible if it's right to do something with you"
"What kind of responsibility?" kayla started to open her voice.
"Om has ruined a very valuable treasure and one that I have always guarded all this time. So what responsibility does Om want to do?" yell Kayla.
"Yes"
Tears began to flow down her cheeks. Kayla can't hold it anymore. Feelings of anger, resentment, disintegration, everything has become one.
"Om sorry Kay. I swear, I really didn't know it was you. It's Kay's fault, Om's sorry" Aldo said, beginning to prostrate at Kayla's feet.
"Wake Om. Don't bow like that"
"Om promise of Kay's responsibility, if you get pregnant. But for your virginity problem, honestly Om is very sorry. Om can't do anything about it"
"Om is married. What would aunty Tasya say if she knew her husband was screwing his own daughter? Stop talking about responsibility. Pray that I will not get pregnant. Then my virgin problem, honestly I'm disappointed Om, but everything has happened. It's free to regret it now" Kayla said.
"Thank you Kayla. I really regret it"
"Already Om. Better go to the office. Not good, if it's just the two of us here"
"All right then. Oh yes, once again I'm sorry"
"Yes"
After Aldo was gone, Kayla cried again. She was very afraid that she would get pregnant.
Kayla decided not to go to college today, wanting to calm herself down.
The Office
Aldo looks riled up in his study. He was still thinking about his stupidity last night, which made unwanted events happen.
Raffa's assistant Aldo, who saw his boss looking stressed, began to ask.
"Sorry Mister. Do I want to bring you some coffee?"
"Can. Bring black coffee without sugar"
"Master sure? Let's make sure you drink latte coffee" said Raffa.
"But now I want black coffee without sugar. Bring it up now and stop asking" Aldo said, starting to get emotional.
"Good Sir"
His assistant came out of the room, to bring him the coffee.
While Aldo was still stressed by the incident last night, his phone rang.
He took his cellphone and saw his wife's name on the screen.
Because he didn't come home, things got messy like this.
Aldo picked up the call and a voice came from across the phone.
"Hello darling. You're in the office?"
"Why indeed? Why didn't you come home yesterday? I heard from Revan, that you're going home in two or three days. That right?" ask Aldo.
"Not really mas. I'll be home tonight. Sorry about yesterday, but can I just ask for money this once? Pay the arisan money"
"Freasurely intended? You are too much Arisan. I won't send any more money. I've spent a lot of money on you"
"You're so mean, stingy again. I'm not going home if you don't send the money" Tasya threatened.
"It's up to you not to go home again. I don't care".
Aldo switched off his phone and threw his phone at the door until it broke.
Raffa, who had just walked into the room to bring his boss's coffee, became shocked to see the phone being thrown almost hitting his face. Fortunately, he quickly avoided.
"Sorry sir, here's the coffee. Want to replace the new one again?"
"Yes. Change it now"
"Ready Master"
