Sharing Love: I Was Forced to Get Married for Money
Chapter 19

Aluna hugged Anindira,

and they invited Anindira to come home but Anindira refused.

"Dira, let's go home!"

"Sorry Mba, I can't go with you guys."

"We know we're guilty of you, we accuse you without evidence and immediately drive you out of the house. Forgive us! please come back home!"

"No! I go of my own accord if I choose to stay in that house I will not leave, I will defend my son's rights even if you expel me."

"This is my final decision Mba, I will give birth to this child myself!"

"Go home! I promise I'll treat you well, and after the kid's born we'll do a DNA test." Leon Said.

"Hhehh, why? do you still not believe that this is your son? then why are you telling me to go back to that house?"

"Mas Leon doesn't mean that Dira I believe he's Mas Leon's son, he's my son too because I feel a strong bond with him even though he's not from my womb He's Mas Leon's biological son."

"I'm going home!" persuade Aluna.

"Where to? does Dira have a house other than this?" said his father Dira.

"Uncle?!"

"Would you guys come here? and you! why are you coming?" his father told Leon.

"I'm her husband, I still have rights over her."

"Hak?! what kind of rights?! you think you're a good husband? don't expect you to take my son and future grandchildren away from here."

"Uncle, I beg you that I want the child so much, I love him so much even though he's not born yet." Aluna said.

"Son Aluna, I can understand how you feel, but that child is ours we can't give it to you at any time."

Dira's father goes into the house, to take some money and give it to Leon.

"This is the rest of our debt that we borrowed from you for the opration fee back then! we're sorry that our son hasn't been able to pay it off."

"But now that I've paid it all off, we don't owe you anymore."

"Oh yes, Dira my son where was the dowry that he gave you? return it to him following the agreement!"

Anindira went to her room to fetch the dowry and the covenant letter.

He gave it to his father, "we've given it all back never to come again!"

Aluna was crying.

Anindira also shed tears, Leon can only remain silent without a word.

"Mba Aluna doesn't have to be sad! if Mba wants Mba can come here to see my son later."

"Let's go!" take Leon to Aluna.

They came home feeling sad.

"Son Dean? when did you come?" ask Anindira's mother who has just returned from the market.

"Just bi."

"What's wrong? why are you crying son and why do you look so upset?"

They don't answer.

"Is this father and son fighting?"

"No ma'am, there's nothing." Anindira replied as she moved to her room.

"What is this dad?"

Her husband did not reply, he still felt very upset.

He went to get the hoe and the machete (head hood) and went to the field.

"What's the matter exactly?"

"Bi, can I find Dira?"

"Well, come in, son"

Dean went inside the house and knocked on Anindira's bedroom door.

Anindira did not respond.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have brought them here! I thought maybe if they came to see you everything would end well but what I did made you sad."

Anindira wiped her tears and opened the door of her room.

"More..."

"Father Dean, I'm fine."

Anindira and Dean sat down on the chair and chatted.

"Sorry Dira.."

"It's not your fault, they just came to see me out of curiosity with this kid."

"What are you going to do now?"

"From the beginning I had no intention of coming back, if they wanted to meet my son then they were the ones who had to come here!"

"But if they want my son I don't think he's the right father, I don't have to give him this child because he's mine, my son."

"Aunty certainly will not stay silent especially if she knows where I am here she must justify all kinds of ways to destroy me and everyone close to me."

"You don't have to worry, I'll always be with you!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Auntie?!"

"Why do mothers hear their names and children, who are you referring to? and whose son did you mention?"

Anindira and Dean looked at each other.

"Actually Leon and Mba Aluna came here and brought me back to that house."

"They came here?! it's worth your dad looking really upset. How do they know we live here?"

"I brought them here bi, sorry.."

"Where did you meet them?"

"Near the restaurant where Dira used to work. I looked at them like a confused person so I greeted him and it turned out that they were indeed coincidentally looking for me."

"They said they've been trying to find Dira, and investigate the man who claimed to be the father of the child Dira was born with."

"I think they're sincere and it looks like Leon also seems to regret what he did, so I'm willing to bring him here."

"But I'm making things worse."

"It's okay, son Dean, maybe it's fate that Dira has to live us is Dira's parents we won't let him face his problems alone."

"Me too, I will always be beside Dira no matter what."

"Thank you Dean you're a good friend! but don't get yourself in trouble because of me, I'm gonna feel so guilty about you."

"I don't mind, even if I have to risk my life."

"Don't say that! you can't just talk."

Anindira's mother smiled when she heard Dean's words, because she was the only one who always accompanied Anindira when happy or difficult.

Even when he encountered a big problem, he was always by his side.

Leon and Aluna went home with sadness in their hearts.

Aluna feels disappointed in herself for not being able to keep Anindira and her child.

Leon also seems to feel guilty, on the one hand he feels guilty because he had expelled Anindira without investigating the truth first.

On the other hand, he still does not believe fully that the child in the birth of Anindira is really his child, because the last photo that Gena gave him made his feelings waver again.

Leon is a stubborn and emotional person so he is easily swayed or influenced by the speech of others.

At night they just got home.

Leon's father asked those he had just seen from the morning, "where have you been? why did the clock just come home? until you miss breakfast and dinner."

They looked at each other, but said nothing.

"Why are you guys quiet? are you guys mute? you just recovered Aluna should you stay at home and watch your health! you too, as a husband you should remind your wife! not even bring him to wander from morning until late at night like this."
