Night Destiny
Pregnant

"H-pregnant? No way, doc. My son is not married. The doctor must be wrong, try to get checked again!!."

The doctor sighed, "But this is the reality, Mom. My mother's son is pregnant!."

The middle-aged woman froze, enduring disappointment, emotions were also tight in her chest.

"Then, we'll excuse you, doc!."

A look of disappointment was clearly on Maria's face. Of course, which mother is not disappointed if her daughter is pregnant out of wedlock.

The middle-aged woman chose silence during the return trip. There was no way she would ask her daughter so many questions at such an inopportune time. Moreover, there is Mr. Ari, the driver of the orphanage who is now driving a million people's car that they use to go to the hospital.

Upon arrival in the courtyard of the house, the mother immediately entered in a hurry, even the greeting of the children he ignored. Seeing that, Salsa immediately followed the mother to the room.

"Bun ....!"

"Tell me who's the father of the baby you're carrying, Salsa!! Who??."

Qomariah could not contain his tears. He was so disappointed by the fact he had just gotten. The baby girl he named Salsabila Safitri grew up to be a good girl, cheerful, loving and obedient. Salsa also grew into a very beautiful girl. During this time, Salsa was never close to any man. How can now her daughter get pregnant even without a husband.

"Don't shut up, Salsa. You have a mouth. You just need to name the man who fathered your baby!!."

Salsa shook her head, "I don't know, Bun!."

Salsa's answer left Maria even more devastated. How could Salsa not know who the father of the baby is. Or perhaps, Salsa slept with so many men that she did not know whose seed she was growing in her crown.

"So your goal to the Capital is to peddle your body? And the money you bring is the illicit proceeds of selling yourself?!."

Salsa did not dispute his mother's remarks. "I'm not peddling my body, Bun!."

"But you're pregnant!. And you don't know who the father of your baby is!!."

Salsa remembers the face of the man who fathered her baby. But the incident that night and the money he received was proof that their relationship was only limited to each other and ended that night. It was impossible for Salsa to hold the man responsible for her pregnancy.

"You know what you're doing is a big sin!!. Zina, acts of filth. How can you break your trust!! How could it occur to you to peddle yourself until you get pregnant without a husband!!."

"I'm not peddling myself, Mother!," said Salsa shriek. He was guilty, but the self-peddling charges made Salsa hurt.

"Then say it now. Who is the one who has already impregnated you?."

Maria took the suitcase and put the clothes in. Salsa who saw that, immediately held Maria's hand. He was crying over the legs of the woman who had been taking care of him since the baby.

"Mother, forgive me. Please don't leave here. I know, what I've done has disappointed you. I know I committed a great sin. But I was forced to accept the man's offer because I had no other choice!!."

"You don't have any other choice for what? Save this parlor by being a cheap woman. And live us with your ill-gotten money?!!."

Salsa looked at her bunda wistfully. For 26 years, only this time the woman's speech sounded so painful. The girl looked at Maria with a pus.

"I am a sinner. I am guilty and I am cheap!!. But take a look, because of my cheap self these are my sisters who can have a place to live. You can go to school and eat!!. They could feel a decent life like any other child, and all because of this cheesy one!!," Salsa cried bitterly, "What do you think, I'm not hurt doing all this? I'm sick, Bun. Every day, I am haunted by guilt. Please don't judge me like this. If you don't want to stay with me anymore. Stay here with the sisters, because I'll be the one to go!!."

Maria pecked, her body falling to the floor with a roaring cry. All this happened because of his helplessness. She should not blame Salsa, as her daughter did solely to save the parlour and her younger siblings. Even Salsa's words were correct, it was thanks to him that this parlour officially belonged to him. Children can eat, go to school and play as well as other children. If anyone is to blame, it's him, not Salsa.

"One more time I'm sorry, Bun. Please stay here because the sisters need this place more than me!." Salsa turned and was about to leave Maria's room, but she immediately hugged her daughter.

"Don't go, son. Forgive this selfish mother. This is all the wrong mom. If you don't have a hard time making money, you won't sell your honor. You have sacrificed your life for your mother and sisters. You shouldn't blame and judge you like this. Please, stay with us. You're a mother's child, you're still a sister to your sisters."

Salsa hugged Maria, "Mother is not wrong. A mother will be angry and disappointed when she finds out her son made a fatal mistake like me. I'm sorry I picked the wrong path, Bun. I promise I won't make the same mistake again. Thank you for the sorry you gave me. I'm really lucky to have a mother like you!!."

"You're mother's daughter. You live mother. No matter how wrong a child is, a mother will forgive him. Moreover, everything you do is none other than and is not for our lives!."

"Thank you, Bun. Mother ... will you accept my son?!," asked Salsa doubtfully.

"of course. Your son is your mother's grandson. Even though he was born from a mistake. He is not sinful. Your child deserves to live and see the world. Whatever happens, we'll take care of and raise this child together!."
