"Fania, get out of you!"
''Get out of here, cheap lady!"
"Women like you are just the scum of society!"
''Out you!''
''Get out of here!"
Such was the cry of the crowd that filled the courtyard of Fania's house. Their voices are simple to each other to cause a noise that disturbs homeowners.
''What's up, Mom?" Fania who heard the commotion immediately came out of her room.
''You don't know, Fan, '" Asih said.
Her twin sisters were trailing behind her mother.
''Let me check, Mom." Ferry took the initiative to peek behind a thin white curtain attached to the living room glass.
''What's up, Fer?" ask Fania who was curious.
''Lots of people in front of the house. They're calling Fania's sister."
Fania frowned. She did not realize that the residents had heard news about her pregnancy.
''Fania, come out! A dirty woman like you doesn't deserve to be here."
''Out of you, J*l***g!"
''Get out of here!"
Fania stiffened in place. She did not expect the news of her pregnancy to spread so quickly. Many questions flashed in his mind about who spread it, from where they knew, could it be his father. Fania immediately shook her head vehemently denying all of those allegations.
''How is this, Mom? They already know. I should how?" Panic was clearly visible on his face.
Asih swiftly calmed his eldest daughter by continuing to convince her that everything would be fine.
''What really happened, Mom? Why are people angry with their brothers? What did Fania do?" Ferry who did not understand the situation was looking for his mother with various questions. However, Asih is still loyal to his silence.
For him, this is not the right time to explain everything.
''Fen, I'm sure you must know something. What happened to Fania?" Not broken charcoal, Ferry changed to find his twin.
Fena was confused as to what to answer, until the father's voice suddenly broke their tension.
''Your sister is pregnant and she doesn't know who impregnated her.''
''What?! Is that right, Brother?''
Her brother's sobs were already a very clear answer for the young man. She shook her head slowly, not believing that her sister was like that.
''Your brother's a victim, Ferry. She's not that kind of woman. She was raped." The mother defended with tears in her eyes, her hands still tightly clutched the body of her eldest daughter.
''Raped round and round wearing men's suits. Is there a rape victim like that." Efendi denies his wife's defence.
Tension has not been resolved inside the house. Residents who were furious because there was no response from within even broke down the door. Some people tried to forcefully drag Fania's tiny body. He tried hard to hold his daughter. However, his strength was less powerful than them, there was a tug-of-war between Asih and some of the men, plus Efendi who forcibly removed his hand.
''Fania!"
''Mom, please, Mom!"
''Untie me! Mum, please...."
''Here comes the dirty woman. Expel him! Don't let him dirty this neighborhood." One of the middle-aged men shouted out loudly, thus provoking the other citizens.
''Please don't throw my daughter away. She is a victim, she is not such a woman" Asih said with tears breaking, even clenching both hands begging them all.
''Heh, Ma'am Asih. We don't want this filthy woman turning to tease our husband, huh. The best way is to just kick him out of here" said Bu Yuni in a loud voice.
Some of the women there agreed.
Fania could clearly see the sadness of her mother, even her younger sister also shed tears in her twin sister's arms.
Not yet relieved of his sadness, the father suddenly threw all his clothes, there were even some that hit his face.
''Go, Son of the Shit Carrier! You've thrown dirt on your parents' faces" hardened Efendi by hurling a large rucksack at his daughter.
''Never come back before you find the father of that bastard baby!"
''Enter! You're inbound. No one dares to come out before he leaves" cried Fendi, pushing his son and wife into the house.
Asih tried to rebel, but her strength was not comparable to her husband's energy.
The sound of a door slam shocked everyone who was there. Fania's heart was completely broken, no empathy or sympathy was obtained just a look full of contempt. Their gazes seemed to say that he was just a lump of disgusting filth.
With trembling hands accompanied by a slow puff, Fania picked up one by one her clothes, then stuffed them into the bag without folding them. Slowly he rose past the crowd with his head bowed. Before actually leaving, he had briefly stared one by one at the faces that had insulted him. In his heart swore one day, he would return to avenge their insults today.
Just a few meters away, Fania was staring at the spot when her neutrals accidentally saw a man standing not far from her place. A look of disappointment was clearly drawn from the look in his eyes. Without thinking twice, Fania immediately approached the man. Because he was sure that his lover had known everything.
''Brother Riko, I can explain" he said trying to reach his lover's hand. However, Riko immediately distanced her hand.
The man turned away unwillingly to look at the face of the woman who for the past three years filled his heart space.
''Sister Riko....''
''Stop! Don't touch me! I don't want to be touched by a dirty woman like you" Riko said flatly.
Fania clasped her own hand. His heart was so broken hearing the insults from the mouth of the man he loved so much.
''Brother, this is not what you see. I did not betray sister," Fania said with teary eyes.
''If you don't betray me, how can there be a fetus growing in your womb? Did you forcefully insert that fetus, huh!'' Riko snaps at the girl. He could no longer hold back his emotions.
Fania's tongue felt faint to explain. He could only sob with a strong squeeze on his front shirt, an unbearable pain he felt inside.
''Do you know why I went to town, Fan? It's all because of you. I want to propose to you right away, make you all mine. I try hard to squeeze sweat during the night, no matter the heat or rain to collect the rupiah coffers to realize my dream. But what do I get? You avenged all of my two years of hard work with that foetal presence. You, Fan!"
''You see this." Riko shows a red velvet box in front of her lover's face. "I deliberately did not tell my return because I wanted to give this surprise. But you gave me an unexpected surprise."
''Wow, that's great of you, Fan." Riko clapped her hands along with her cleanliness.
He still did not believe this reality. Her boyfriend betrayed her.
''I'm the victim, brother. I'm raped. Please, believe! I didn't betray you." Fania tried to explain the real situation.
But all in vain because his lover only ignored him. His heart was already covered with disappointment, thinking all Fania's excuses were only a defense of her guilt.
''From this moment on, there is no relationship between us. I'm disappointed."
Riko passed by after breaking off their relationship, leaving Fania alone with tears.
''Even he doesn't believe. Why is this unfair to me? I'm the victim I should have justice not judgment," his mind languished.
The screams of one of the residents who asked him to leave managed to resuscitate his daydream. With a heavy heart, Fania left her homeland. He had seen his mother's silhouette behind a thin curtain. Fania smiled faintly at him, then continued on a move that would somehow end where. He just followed his footsteps.
