The Beautiful Widow Belongs to the Police
90
Andre sat beside Naura, listening to every word that came out of the mouth of Irma's ex-husband. He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing all the stories from Ryan who also occasionally stricken Naura, confirming. The fear of the pregnant woman committing the crime did not occur and Andre did not need to be responsible for the death of the cockroach that Ryan suspected.
"Why do you call him brother, and I still call you by name and at best call the police?" asked Andre to the woman who was still enjoying a plate of noodles. There was envy in Andre's heart when he heard Naura call Ryan big brother.
Naura stopped the spoon that almost landed perfectly in the mouth. He turned to Andre, looking at the goal of the man who would soon change status to his brother-in-law. "Do you also want me to call you brother?" naura asked with seriousness.
With enthusiasm and a fluffy smile, Andre nodded surely, hoping Naura also called him big brother.
"Fix your work first. Make Aunt Rita understand and accept Kak Irma as she is like Aunt Ambar who also accepts Kak Irma as she is even though she knows the truth."
Naura threw away her face and refocused on her food, while Andre let out a lethargic breath. That task must have been very heavy. In the presence of Irma he could talk everything would be fine, but the reality would not be that easy given the stubbornness of the mama.
"One more. I still keep your promise!" Naura turned back to Andre with both eyebrows up and down and spontaneously Andre immediately looked down to see something that would be the target of the prospective sister-in-law. "It looks like you still remember," Naura continued with a fluffy smile, but it looked like it was mocking in Andre's eyes.
"Sister Ryan. his baseball bat made me one, yeah!" Naura turned her gaze across the table with a still-influenced smile.
"A pregnant old man wants to play baseball?" asked Ryan, astonished.
Naura shakes. "Make eggs" Naura answered lightly, then put a bite of noodles into her mouth. Not forgetting to glance at Andre who was swallowing his saliva when he heard Naura's words.
"Becahin' eggs with a baseball bat?" One made goosebumps disco, while the other one made confusion by Naura's speech.
Naura simply nodded, leaving Ryan even more confused.
"Ra's making jokes isn't funny. I already know the problem of complicated, do not even add puyeng dong!" sela Andre, but not ignored Naura. Only replied with a smile that was difficult to interpret, what smile Naura gave to Andre.
'I just want you to really fight for my brother. Make your mother accept all of God's will. I'm sure you can.' Inwardly, Naura wished so much to the man beside her.
'What exactly did Ara mean. Why does Andre look so scared?' Ryan who had noticed the two, began to feel something strange. Not just any egg they're talking about.
"Sister, what did you want to tell me?" Naura switched the conversation. Recalling for a while before there was a cockroach, Ryan was about to speak seriously.
"That's what?"
"Alvino is not my real son" Ryan said.
"It's not strange either. Look at your ex-wife's behavior, I can guess she's not a good girl" Naura said.
"The problem is to marry anyone sister will not have children. Brother barren," continued Ryan in an increasingly weakened voice. The fact that he was barren made him very sick. Now, he could feel what Irma had felt first. The stupidity that Ryan used to do, instead of giving support, he even berated Irma.
"Well! What's?" Naura and Andre were shocked not to get upset.
Ryan also told him the new reality he knew from Ambar. An accident in college that had damaged his vital organs and made him never to have children.
Naura and Andre listened carefully to Ryan's story, holding their breath when they heard a reality that had just been revealed. Concerned about Ryan's fate is what Andre and Naura feel. However, for some reason there was a glimmer of light that suddenly illuminated Andre's mind. Not that he wants to be happy above the suffering of others, but he feels he gets a bright spot from the problems he is facing.
"That means you're not Irma?" ask Andre impatiently.
"Yes." Yeah." Ryan nodded lethargicly, while Andre's smile expanded upon hearing Ryan's words. "Yes, I'm barren, but a letter about Irma is also true" Ryan continued.
Andre's smile suddenly faded. After drifting high with the reality obtained, immediately afterwards Andre was brought into freefall with another reality. He thought the problem would be solved by then, but he didn't. The fight is long.
"I checked her and I heard firsthand that Irma also had abnormalities in her reproductive parts. The doctor said it would be difficult to conceive. If possible, the odds are only one percent. And because of the doctor's words, I continued to doctrine the barren Irma. What's the difference between one percent and zero percent, equally no chance? And in reality I'm the one with zero percent." Ryan looked at Andre who was still trying to digest all of his words.
"Maybe because of that condition also mamah and papah never bothered Irma who could not have children. In fact, they seem very happy because they think that if they can't reproduce, the possibility of duplicity because of a child's problems will not occur. But in reality, I disappoint everyone. I'm the barren one and I'm the one who betrays women as well as Irma." There was regret on Ryan's face. "I'm sure you can make her happy. Remember there is still one percent you can fight for! Hopefully your mother can also accept and want to fight with you. Irma had suffered for a long time it was time she was happy" he continued.
"Thank you for the info, your confession helped me a lot. I promise I will continue to fight for Irma until the last second of blood" said Andre full of confidence.
At least Ryan's little confession could help him, though it probably won't be too much of a playful. Because maybe his mom will think the same as Ryan first. Zero percent and one percent it makes no difference.
"I don't know what to say. This is too surprising for me. Fortunately, the debay did not suddenly ask for Brojol because of the surprises obtained today." Naura who was still gawking also chimed in. "Mending abisin, yes, De!" naura continued to the baby while putting her last mouthful into her mouth.
