Rajasa
The Way Out

Ryan and Rajasa are confused about Rajasa and Nurmala.

"She won't abort her body."

"You don't go crazy! It's your own flesh and blood. If Edelweis knew. Finish me!"

"You must not be rash. Think before you act!" Omel Ryan's.

"You're not married. You don't know what it's like if your wife can't serve you. While your own biological needs are almost exploding."

"Can't you please? How do you explain a widower after his wife left him. Not married again?"

"But it's very difficult."

"Can't you, right?"

"All right! I admit to being wrong. But now how? I don't want to lose my wife. If we get divorced what about Malika?"

"You're such a bitch!"

"How about you marry her until she gives birth?"

"You're not crazy!"

"That's all I have in mind."

"You eat the numbers. I got the gum."

"Just to cover up the disgrace. Please do! After Nurmala gave birth. You can divorce her."

Ryan pulled Rajasa's crate, "You're a real jerk!"

Ryan finally agreed to Rajasa's request. The three of them kept a secret from everyone especially Edelweis.

"I'll divorce you. After I divorced, you were married, Ryan."

"Don't you have to wait three months?"

"Your stomach is growing. You guys don't have sex before your iddah runs out. How's it?"

"Isn't that the same as cheating the law?"

"We have no other choice. Waiting for his time to be over. It's all too late. If you want to help. Now or never."

***

Edelweis was delighted to hear the news of Ryan's marriage.

"I'm glad you decided to get married. Forget what I said at that time." Edelweis blushed in shame.

"Just calm! I've forgotten it."

"I didn't know you were in love with Rajasa's secretary."

"Everything goes so fast." Ryan Sahut.

"Yeah! It looks like Nurmala is a good woman. A good mother."

"Yeah! Thank you, you've supported me so much."

"I'm glad you found your soul mate. I'm happy for you."

"Yeah! I-i know. Thank you, huh?"

"Why are you holding it so simple?"

"I want a sacred marriage. Not wanting to waste a lot of money. Better money for after marriage."

"You're right."

The wedding was very simple. The atmosphere is so sacred.

Ryan has announced a marriage contract. Nurmala could not hold haru. She shed her tears.

Nurmala and her son moved into Ryan's contract. Ara was brought along with them.

Ara sleeps with Amelia while Ryan rooms with Nurmala.

Nurmala did not extend her rent. Ryan asked her to stay with him.

"This marriage only lasts until you give birth to your child." Ryan said when they were both in the room.

Nurmala nodded her head, "Thank you for being kind enough to help me."

"I did it for Edelweis. If it wasn't a woman, I would've beaten it. Why would you take your boss from his wife?" Ryan held back his anger.

"Mother Edelweis could not serve her husband. Too busy with his son."

"Then did you take a chance on the narrow-mindedness?"

"I admit wrong. I'm not defending myself. Actually, there is no longer a relationship between me and Mr. Rajasa. But the last meeting, I forgot to bring my pills. I thought, you just wanted to talk."

"You two are not human!" Jerk Ryan.

"Easy! My energy is scolding you! You sleep on the bed. I'll sleep downstairs."

"Let me sleep downstairs. You're the one on the bed."

"Accomplish my words!" Tukas Ryan's.

"All right."

Ryan bought a folding mattress. He put the bed under the bed. He turned his back on Nurmala and fell into a deep sleep.

Nurmala looked at Ryan's face that was soundly asleep. His handsome face exuded the gentleness and kindness of his heart. Not only good-natured but loyal, my friend.

You sacrificed yourself for Mr. Rajasa's wife. Do you love her? Ah, what's my business knowing such a thing? Edelweis' mother was a very good woman. It is only natural that someone loves and loves him. I am so sorry to disturb his home. But I can't do anything. It's all over. Rice has become porridge.

Ryan is not just a gentleman. Amelia liked him too. Nurmala's heart was touched because Amelia did not get the affection of her father.  Her ex-husband, can't take care of the child. Amelia felt very uncomfortable being around her father. 

When they were married, her ex-husband never held a child. Especially after they divorced.

Ryan teaches Amelia to call him dad. As the balance calls Nurmala with the call of mother.

Home work. Amelia immediately greeted him impatiently. Run towards Ryan, "Yes.." call him.

Ryan held Amelia and kissed her soft cheek.

Nurmala cleans up while Ryan plays with Amalia.

Finish bathing and getting dressed. Nurmala's headed for the kitchen. Make Ryan a cup of coffee. Put a fried banana made by Ara into a dish.

Presents it at the table in front of the tivi, the living room where Ryan and Amelia are playing together.

"Eat and drink first. You haven't cleaned yourself up either. You must be so tired after work." Nurmala. They came home together because of one office.

Ryan waited for Nurmala to finish work. While continuing his work. After the Maghrib prayer, they went home with Ryan's car. 

Inside their garage were two cars. It belongs to Ryan and it belongs to Nurmala. Rajasa Giving. While Rajasa gifting apartment is rented. The money is stored in deposits.

Since they got married. They often go home together using Ryan's car.

"Give Amalia to me. You rest." Nurmala developed her hand towards Amalia. Immediately, Amalia moved in her mother's arms.

"Play with me or mbak Ara huh? Dad just got home from work. Must be tired."

"Let me put him to bed." Said Ryan.

"Aren't you tired?"

"I'll rest first. Shower first. Relax drinking coffee and eating fried bananas. We had dinner together. I thought my body would be refreshed." Ryan took a sip of his coffee and plucked the fried banana on the plate.

"Why can you be so patient and painstaking?" Ask Nurmala.

"It's nothing like the work in the woods." Said Ryan.

"I don't want to after we get divorced. Amalia will miss you."

"Not to overdo it. If we get divorced. We can keep on good terms. I don't mind being Amalia's father. Your son needs a father figure."

"My ex-husband can't take care of and hold a child."

"Maybe he's busy."

"He's not working. Unemployment."

"Maybe he can't hold a child."

"Yeah! If only, he was like you or Rajasa sir. We can't get divorced."

"Don't like to compare. Everyone has their own weaknesses and strengths. You work yourself. Even if your husband can't support you but you can work, right?"

"He's having an affair. I can't take it anymore. I can take it except for the affair."

"You're double standard! You're cheating on yourself with Rajasa."

"Everything just happens. Mr. Rajasa needs a biological distribution. I am also a widow. Have the same need. I don't want to be a hypocrite either. Wanted material like any other woman."

Ryan's face was red, "You're really outrageous and shameless!"

"I'm not proud of myself. But I also don't want to lie and add to my mistake again by covering it up."

"I love Edelweis so much! I married you because I didn't want her to get hurt. Knowing her husband's depraved deeds with you."

"I know you didn't marry me because you liked me. I thought you did it for Rajasa sir. You love his wife."

"I'm rash. Leave it to Rajasa. I thought Rajasa could make her happy. I will snatch it from Rajasa but not in a way that hurts him."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want to hurt him. I can't trust Rajasa. I'm afraid Rajasa will hurt her again. After we get divorced, I'll strategize to get her from Rajasa's side. Malika herself I consider like my own son. I'll make them both happy."

Nurmala was silent at Ryan's words. Ryan's face described his determination.
