Not Wanting (So) the Second
Episode 33: The Unuseful Sympathy

"If you can ride this bike, then later it will be easy to learn any bike. The important thing is that you can practice balance." Yasmine persuaded, while taking an additional helmet from the trunk.

"REally..?" Lukka seemed interested in Yasmine's persuasion.

"Have you ever been on a bike before?" yasmine asked, if ever he would immediately tell Lukka to bring a motorcycle. But Lukka shook his head, he never even just sat on a motorcycle seat.

"In that case, I'll sit in front. And you pay attention first ..." Yasmine took a position in front, followed by Lukka who was directly nikkrik in the back seat.

The big boy looks excited. This is the first time he will enjoy the wind from the top of the bike.

"Handle.." exclaimed Yasmine as the motor began to run.

"OK...!" reply Lukka with passion. He was about to wrap his hands around Yasmine's waist, but he stopped when he remembered Yasmine's stomach was having a baby. Finally he only held a pinch of Yasmine's shirt, right and left. His legs were too level even very contrasted with Yasmine's legs. To set foot from the top of the motorcycle, the girl had to tiptoe.

"First make sure the position of the motor is balanced, pull the gas slowly, and when the motor is running slowly, you can lift your legs." Yasmine explained to her impromptu students.

"wahhh.great...! Great sister..!" The boy pranced behind, making Yasmine a bit of a whim.

"Hey, don't move.." exclaimed Yasmine trying to balance.

When the condition of the motor began to stabilize again, suddenly a rabbit jumped over the guardrail and crossed. In shock, Yasmine took the opposite direction while pulling the gas spontaneously.

Lukka almost strayed back, fortunately he was holding on to the tip of Yasmine's shirt. But unfortunately because it was too strong Lukka attractive, all buttons Yasmine shirt dislodged in unison. The fruits of the shirt slammed far away, until the appearance of a white tanktop that wrapped Yasmine's body.

The girl braked suddenly, making Lukka's body pushed back. They stared for a split second, then looked at each other with shocked gazes.

"Sister is okay...?" Lukka lifted one side of the shirt, to make sure Yasmine's stomach wasn't hurt.

"ARRGHGHH....!! Don't open!" screeches while closing back the persecuted shirt.

"I'm sorry, Lukka didn't mean it..."

Yasmine did not reply, she adjusted her bull-like breath to go berserk. Destroyed was his pride.

A few hours later....

Yasmine is at Agam and Nisha's house. The two random creatures came down from the motorbike, with circumstances that made the family fail to understand.

Yasmine is wearing Lukka's school shirt. While Lukka live wearing a t-shirt inside, with a Yasmine shirt that he put on the neck like a batman.

"Where have you been..?!" gretak Agam was upset, but not Lukka. But to Yasmine. The state of the house increased in panic earlier, when Yasmine disappeared.

"Finding Lukka.." Yasmine replied bowed.

"Good bike??" asked Agam again, his gaze made Yasmine cornered.

"Lukka, where have you been, huh..? Why did you run away from home?!" Ambar hugged Lukka very tightly. He even reported this to the police.

Lukka took off his mother's embrace, he was still very angry with the matter earlier this afternoon. He stood by Yasmine's side to defend the woman.

"Why are you always acting all you want huh?! You don't think how dangerous it is to ride a motorcycle alone?" Agam was anxious when he imagined the bad possibility that could befall Yasmine. More precisely to her baby.

"I'm very good at motorcycles, I even have a SIM. So please don't overdo it. I'm fine." Yasmine replied a little annoyed.

I could no longer speak. Yasmine is the type of woman who always fights, and is stubborn.

"At least think before you act. Which you think is safe, not necessarily good for our child..!" press Agam with a sharp eye. It was as if he was about to split the girl's face with his gaze.

Instead of feeling guilty, Yasmine instead looked resentfully at Agam. "Who do you think you can call our son?!" inner grumbling.

"Lukkas... Yasmine...? thank goodness you're home. You guys okay..?" Nisha who had just got down from the car immediately ran towards the two boys. Her heart was almost numb when she imagined Yasmine also running away from home.

"Why didn't you tell me you wanted to get out of the house? You're freaking me out.." lirih Nisha gently rubbed Yasmine's shoulder.

"Sorry, I also panicked when I heard Lukka disappeared earlier. I'm sorry.." pinta Yasmine felt guilty. He knew Nisha must be very worried.

They all went into the house. Lukka unceasingly received a lecture from Agam. Same with Yasmine. He warned the two children not to act like this again.

...~~~...

"How, Agam..? Have you thought about what Mom said?" ask Ambar with four eyes.

Agam who had just finished gathering the morning spirit by exercising, became moody again.

"No, ma. Once I say no, then no." Agam rubbed the rough sweat that flooded his neck and face.

"Do you want to see your son away from his mother?"

"Nisha will not ban Yasmine from visiting later." replied Agam sounding annoyed. He turned off the treadmill, then sat down in one of the chairs.

"I won't hurt Nisha, Ma. Even if I argue with you, I'll do it for Nisha."

Ambar tightened his jaw hearing that. "By defending Nisha, you won't get anything. Yasmine is the right choice for your future."

"Ma, I love Nisha with all her flaws. He had even sacrificed by bringing Yasmine here. Betraying his love would instead leave me buried in regret later on. I don't want to."

"Only Nisha I love, until any moment." he added staring at the face of the mother. He hoped his mother would understand that love cannot be forced to be present, and cannot be forced to end. True love will always flow like river water that divides the rocks, to the mouth.

"Then make Yasmine your second wife. At least the girl had a marriage, after she sacrificed her future to give birth to your child."

As a woman, Ambar knew that giving up a husband was impossible for a wife. But he also saw from Yasmine's side, that losing the future and self-esteem for the sake of one's generation was not something to be proud of. She will be labeled as a cheap woman, as she easily exchanges her womb and future for money.

He asked Nisha to act. But what he meant was the divorce of Agam, so that his son could have children. Unexpectedly Nisha even defended Agam, and instead brought a woman who was not given any status to give birth to their child.

"Punish her so much, for the widow's status will be nobler than that of a child out of wedlock." Ambar said his last negotiations. He could not bear if Yasmine had to accept the ridicule later, as a cheap girl.

Agam squeezed his drinking bottle furiously. Marriage is not something that can be played with. He will look any way, so that his mother understands that Yasmine is not a girl worthy of their family. Despite the slander, Agam will justify it so that Ambar does not sympathize with Yasmine anymore.
