I was really hysterical to see Papa cocked his gun, then pointed it at Mas Yusuf. I saw the man just raise both his hands, without taking out a word. I know in this emotional state Papa won't listen to any explanation.
I looked at her face that was no longer shaped. My heart is really sad. O Allah, please soften Papa's heart. I still looked at Mother and begged.
Mother and Brother were also no less surprised. Brother immediately grabbed my arms and helped to stand up, then Mother went to meet Papa who had climbed apitam.
"You heard! I'd rather end up in jail than have to let you live! You have really dropped my self-esteem. Now you must die." Papa started pulling the trigger.
The graapp!
"Mas Arman, don't do that, Mas... No anger at anything don't be a killer. I know he's guilty, but don't kill him. Please do not take care of her innocent child, and also our future grandchildren. No, please, I beg you!"
Mother was crying on Papa's back. Slowly Papa lowered his weapon, for a moment I breathed a sigh of relief. I heard Papa istighfar. And turn his body to face Mother. Papa hugged the body of Mother, and Mother immediately returned Papa's embrace. I know Papa is seeking tranquility to quell the anger in his wife's arms.
For a moment the mood was still gripping. I saw Mas Yusuf slumped at the feet of Papa and Mother. He cupped both palms. With trembling lips, I just heard.
"Mr, Ibuk. I admit my mistake. If I could just be honest. That night I really couldn't control myself, because I was doing that under the influence of stimulants. I don't know who gave me the medicine. Verily by Allah I never intended or thought only that I did not dare. I have great respect for Father and Mother."
He explained everything to Papa and Mommy, what really happened, after feeling quite calm, Papa broke his embrace. He turned his body and faced the aide.
"Tell me the chronology that night!" papa said still in a cold tone, Papa again dropped his body on the Sofa. Mas Yusuf was still on the floor.
Mother approached Mas Yusuf. "Let's get up, son, sit down. And tell me everything." Mother brought her aide to sit on the sofa. Now Mas Yusuf's position is facing the general.
Mas Yusuf recounts the chronology before the fateful night. He was called by another ADC. They invited him to just chat and drink coffee at the official house, which was Papa specialise the house only for ADC off the picket.
"Who made you coffee?" tanya Papa is still investigating.
"At that time we made our own, sir. Because Art was asleep that night. Then we make our own drinks."
"Have you investigated the case?"
"Already, Sir. I'm trying to find his year to date. But I still haven't managed to open it."
"Let this matter alone I will investigate. Now you call your parents, tell me to come face to face, and tonight you marry Khanza!"
My heart felt like it was coming out. I can't talk about anything. Am I really going to be the destroyer of other people's homes? How will his wife and son be?
"Good, Sir. I will contact both my parents, and I will marry Mbak Khanza.
"But, Pa. What about his wife and son Joseph? I don't want to hurt them Papa" I said, hoping they knew what I was worried about.
"No, there's another path Khanza, calm down. This marriage is only a form of responsibility, at least until the child is born. After that you can split up if there's no match."
I just kept quiet, there was nothing I could do. What Papa said is true. After this child is born, I will ask Mas Yusuf to divorce me, and after that he can go back to his wife and son completely.
Papa looked calmer now. Perhaps after listening to Mas Yusuf's explanation, because there was no element of deliberate in the blasphemy. Papa tried to believe everything that came out of his aide's lips. They are still discussing a series of events, from stimulant drugs to attempted shootings against me.
Not long after, the parents of Mas Yusuf have come, seen once the face of the mother of Lilis was very disappointed with her son. They immediately apologized to Mother and Papa.
Lilis' mother cried bitterly, and expressed her disappointment towards Mas Yusuf. But, Mommy immediately calmed down Miss Lilis. And say that the event was not intentional.
Papa also asked his parents to let Mas Yusuf marry me immediately. At first they were surprised, but they could do nothing because their son was responsible for everything he did.
That night also Papa called his friend who had once married himself and Mother. The marriage was purposefully closed, no one was allowed to enter. Including other aides, because Papa still suspects there are among those who betray.
Before the agreement began, Papa asked all his aides to go home to his office on xxx street.
After making sure the aides left, Papa immediately asked his friend who became the ruler to come, bringing two witnesses of marriage.
While waiting for Pak Penghulu to come, Mother took me to the room to change clothes. Mother found me a dress, I just followed. I got the muslim clothes. I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my pitiful face.
My tears fell back. Is this the shape of the future that has been destroyed? This marriage does not make my heart happy, it is sad, I have to get married and become a mistress. I was already the third person in his household.
"Don't cry, son. Let's put these clothes on." Mother wiped my tears. I know that Mother's heart is also broken seeing my miserable fate like this. But Mother tried to stay strong.
"Bun, I've become a destroyer of people's households. I hurt his wife's feelings. Why don't Mom and Dad just let me go? I'm sure I can take care of my own baby without a father."
Mother hugged me, Mother also cried. "Don't say that, son. Mother believes you can raise your own baby, but don't let her be born without a father. At least he has the full identity of both his parents. You listen to Mother! After your baby is born, if you and Joseph are not happy, then Mother and Papa will not forbid your decision to separate."
I just nodded obediently. I don't want to let them down, I wipe away the tears, and I'm heartfelt. Although heavy but this is the best way.
Seriate....
Happy reading 🥰
