Reaching Hope
Chapter 111 Advising Clara

"Is that Juan's father, Mom?" ask Mr. Jarwo.

"What else, sir. Pity our son, although Juan is very good, his mother is also friendly but his father hates our family so much" replied the sad mother Dina.

"Prophe Ma'am, we have to strengthen Clara. It must be very difficult for him, hopefully he can survive until the end" said Mr. Jarwo.

"Amen,"

Clara's mother then went into the toilet, where she began to cry. His heart ached at the words of Juan's father who considered Clara and her family to be the only benefactors who used her son. So do people not have anything like them in the eyes of the rich?

Ms. Dina wiped her tears, but it flowed back down her cheeks. She tried hard in front of her husband because she did not want him to be sad too. But actually the words of his iron candidate had left a deep wound in his heart. After feeling calm enough he washed his face so that it would not be seen if he had cried.

"Well, mom's been in the toilet for a long time, what's a shitting?" ask Mr. Jarwo when he sees his wife out.

"Yes, sir" he answered.

Mr. Jarwo saw his wife's face change, although it looks fresh after washing her face but can not lie to her eyes that look red must be because of crying.

"Yes let's go back, Juan and Clara must have been waiting from earlier," asked Mr. Jarwo.

Mr. Jarwo does not want to ask that now, let him ask when he reaches the apartment. He did not want to disturb their present togetherness.

"Now, how long, Mom?" ask Clara.

"Yes, it was in line," replied Mr. Jarwo representing his wife.

"Yes, let's finish the meal, sir, Mom. After this we return to the apartment so we can rest before driving back to the village" said Juan.

"Yes, son" they answered.

After finishing their meal back to the apartment, Juan did not enter because there was work he had to take care of immediately.

"Sir, Mom, I say yes, sorry I won't be able to come here again but don't worry about the driver who will take you home to the village" said Juan.

"It's okay, we can take the bus kok Nak," replied Mr. Jarwo.

"Don't sir, let the driver drive. It's for the school sisters, sir" Juan handed me an envelope with money.

"No son, no. You've given too much to us, we don't want your parents to misunderstand and think we're using you for money" Dina's mother refused, returning the envelope Juan gave her in her husband's hands.

"No ma'am, please don't refuse. This is the money I get from my own work, whatever you hear that is negative please do not enter the heart. I promise 6 months to marry Clara" Juan said.

"Take it, Mom. It's okay, Juan must be sincere" said Clara.

Not wanting to extend the end they accepted Juan's gift. After putting down the groceries and cleaning themselves, they took a break in the tv room while chatting.

"I don't know either, Mom. The day they invited me to their house and lunch. Her mother's attitude was much better and kinder, but her father still did not want to say hello and chat with me" Clara replied.

"That's because her father will never approve of your relationship" said Ms. Dina seriously.

"Mom, please don't make him sadder anymore" said Mr. Jarwo.

"Where do you know?" ask Clara.

Mr. Jarwo and also Clara looked straight at Ms. Dina, the woman looked down, clear water droplets could be seen dripping from her two eyes. He does not know that Clara is actually used to receiving insults from Juan's father, only Clara is reluctant to tell anyone including her family and Juan.

"So we met Juan's father while on the toilet, he said that.." mom Dina could not continue her words because she was crying.

"Mom, don't make Clara sad. Let fate answer all, let all walk like flowing water. We can only try and pray, the rest we leave to the Almighty" said Mr. Jarwo.

"Why Ma'am? Did he insult Mom and Dad?" ask Clara.

"It's not just us, you and our family too. He said that we only use Juan, he will never bless you at any time" replied Ms. Dina still sobbing.

"She is like that, Mom, every meeting is always insulting. Mother and Father do not put it in the heart, let him say anything that does not need to be listened to," said Clara.

"Did he say that every time he met you, son?" ask Mr. Jarwo.

"Yes sir, he always insulted me and our family for being poor. He said I only wanted Juan's money, but I never told Juan" Clara replied.

"Then how long will you last, son?" ask Mr. Jarwo again.

"I love Juan, and so do you. We are still trying to melt his father's heart even though it is very difficult" Clara replied.

"Will Father and Mother allow us to marry even without her father's blessing?" ask Clara.

Ms. Dina and Mr. Jarwo looked at each other. They knew Clara and Juan loved each other, sinning for them if they did not allow marriage. The incident to Cindy was enough as a lesson, they did not want it to happen to Clara and Juan. Although it must be difficult to get married without the blessing of parents, but it is much better than committing adultery.

"If you will continue to bless you. You are adults, getting married is much better to prevent adultery. You are adults and love each other, it would be better if you marry at least according to religious teachings" replied Ms. Dina.

"But Ma'am, self-marriage won't only hurt women if nothing happens in the future?" ask Mr. Jarwo.

"Yes sir, but so far I've seen Nak Juan really sincere to Clara. It seems impossible in the near future they are legally married because it is hindered by the blessing of his father. Or do you have a better solution?" ask Dina ma'am.

Mr. Jarwo sighed, this was a difficult choice for him. Being married siri or religiously does more harm to women, but if there is no other choice, how else. Parents wish only the best for their child's life.

"Father will also agree if that is the best option for now, son, the important thing is that you trust each other. But as parents we certainly hope that someday you and Juan can marry legally in the country" replied Mr. Jarwo.
