The End of Two Semesters

The End of Two Semesters
Chapter 5 – Marry Me


Arya had arrived in front of the simple house of her eye relics. Maybe he hasn't been in this house for decades. But, he always had people take care of him, so it looked still nice and well-groomed. Especially every year Arya told people to renovate the house.


“Ayo Santi, we're down,” invite Arya.


“This is her home? This is good anyway, how much rent a year?” ask Santi.


“Udah do not have to think about it, the important thing is that you have a hiding place, and it is convenient for you,” replied Arya.


“Yes is not the concept, Mr Arya?”


“It's down, and don't call the pack again,” said Arya.


Santi got out of the car, their arrival was welcomed by a couple who worked caring for Arya's house. They welcomed her kindly, and as Arya had planned, she should not pretend not to recognize Arya.


“Good afternoon, Sir, Ma. I am Arya, and this is my wife, Santi.” Arya has set everything up like that, even though they both know that Santi is the person Arya helped.


“Eh, you mean?”


“Ah come on sir, ma'am, please come in. Please see first how his home.” Aryan's housekeeper invited them inside to look around his household.


Santi still looks upset with Arya who confessed to the two men that they were husband and wife.


“You're all right, Ar?” santi asked but pressed.


“Yes is okay. I'm afraid they're suspicious, you're pregnant, yes we don't do husband and wife, think dong?!” answer Arya.


“Yes too, but not that too times?” santi protest.


“Udah, don't need much protest!” Arya.


“Pak, Mom, this is the master room, it's the guest room, there's the kitchen, next to it the outside bathroom. Please take a look first, Sir, Bu.”


“Oke, everything is good, and convenient as it seems. I so take, later my money transfers to the father's account only,” said Arya.


“Good, Sir.” The answer.


“Oh yes, Sir. Could you please find ART to work here?” ask Arya.


“Oh the problem is easy, sir. My son wants to work here too, he just got out of work at his employer. Later I said, let him come to see you if you want,” he replied.


“Good, Sir. Thank you for the help,” said Arya,


After Arya's men leave, Santi pulls Arya's hand and scolds Arya about her who arbitrarily confessed husband and wife.


“What the hell are you, Ar?!”


“Have not protested. I'm gonna stay here, so the people believe we're husband and wife. I don't want you to be the subject of people here, Santi. Yes the hell here is safe, no one is gossiping, away from the crowd, but remain vigilant,” explained Arya.


“But not so many times?”


“Then want? Do you want people to think badly of you? Keep you so stressed, and impact on your child?”


“Yes don't know?”


“Santi, marry me.” Arya's words made Santi sharpen his eyes. Arya never thought she would say such a thing to the woman she just met.  It was all because Arya did not want Santi's son to be born without a father figure.


Plaque ....


Santi slaps Arya after Arya says she wants to marry Santi.


“You want to trap me? You want to take advantage of me?!” santi sarcasm.


“Not that, Santi, that's not what I meant. I just don't want your son to be the same fate as me, never getting the attention of a father figure. Until now, I didn't know who my father was, my mother was pregnant, and I went with her mistress who was pregnant as well! I don't want any child to have the same fate as me,” said Arya.


“Aren't you supposed to be like that, Arya? I can raise this child on my own, without a husband! Don't be a bad luck hero! I don't need that!” Santi firmly.


“All women who are hurt may talk the same as you, but you also have to think about the future of your child?”


“Enough, Ar!”


“Sorry, already, don't get mad. There is no way you want to marry a driver, I'm just kidding, don't put it to the heart.” Arya said, she was actually well-intentioned to marry Santi, but she knew it was too soon.


“You're not funny tau!” santi is upset.


“Already, I made you milk first, then you rest. For a few days I stayed here, I have permission with my boss,” said Arya.


“Terupon you,” says Santi.


“Hmmm .. there shower then break!”


“Iya!” answer with annoyance.


Arya shook her head while looking at Santi who was walking quickly. Like someone who is not pregnant. Arya really did not understand what was on Santi's mind at the moment. Arya does not want Santi's son to be like her, who was born without a father. Being the subject of ridicule his friends used to be at school, because his mother is a widow and his economy is also bad.


“Bu, sorry Arya, Arya lied to mom. Sorry Arya, if one day Arya married Santi. Arya marries him not because Arya loves him, Arya's love is still intact for Naira, but considering the events of the past when Naira's parents made fun of her mother, Arya still does not accept that. Arya marries Santi, because Arya does not want any child who has the same fate as Arya,” muttered Arya.


Arya makes pregnant milk for Santi. Before he got home, he stopped by the mini market to shop for milk, fruit, and some snacks for Santi. I don't know if there's any wind she's really nice to the woman she just met a few hours ago.


Arya brings pregnant milk to Santi. He knocked on Santi's room door, and Santi yelled telling him to come inside his room.


“Santi, do not sleep want ahead of maghrib, said parents are not good pregnant people sleep ahead of maghrib,” said Arya.


“Sok knows, lo!” answer with annoyance.


“I'm just reminding you, if you want to sleep please? People who are not pregnant only if they sleep out of ashar until just before Maghrib can not, especially pregnant people? Drink the milk.” Arya put chocolate flavored milk on the table.


“What pregnant people should drink pregnant milk?” ask Santi.


“Hust, let the baby be healthy,” Arya replied firmly. “Did you during pregnancy never drink milk?” ask Arya.


“Boro-boro thinks of drinking milk? Think Fano for responsibility alone dizzy!” answer by taking a glass of milk on the table.


“Oh his name is Fano?”


“Iya, why?”


“Nothing,” replied Arya.


Arya sat on the edge of the bed, next to Santi. Santi was still gulping down her milk. Just this time Santi felt drinking pregnant milk during pregnancy. Though the content has stepped on the fifth month. He only thought about how to get Fano to take responsibility and marry him.


“Santi, have you ever checked your uterus to the doctor?” ask Arya.


“Early, mastiin time I was pregnant or not. You see in the pregnancy test tool faint red line, so I went straight to Midwife,” replied Santi.


“Tok me to take you check-up, huh? Let's know the development, it's been four months of your womb, right?”


“Iya maybe, four months of my itinerary, don't know the doctor's appointment. I will obey his midwife, because I checked it was six weeks old, and I did not count anymore, like four months,” replied Santi.


“Tok us to the Doctor, check the condition of your womb, healthy or how,” said Arya.


“Do not do it, why use it to all doctors?” reject Santi.


“Yes let me know, if your baby is healthy, you are also healthy. Do not be trivlein, many pregnant women who nyepelein things like this, it becomes even fatal. You don't love your son, or love your life?” Arya.


“That's even nakutin' people! You already have a wife, you know that? Or maybe you're married, and looking for a chance to marry me?” Santi started thinking no good with Arya.


“Jeez nih people .. I'm still single ting-ting! Yes I am not married, yes maybe already old bachelor anyway, because I am 35 years old, but the driver's friends have all married, Santi? Yes, obviously I know, because yesterday my friend's wife was mopping up her bladder, because she felt healthy, yes she had rarely checked, until she was six months old, it turns out that the baby had no heartbeat? Do you feel sorry for the baby, and for the mother?” arya.


“Oh is it, sir?”


“Iya, Bu ...” Arya replied with a chuckle.


“Cie old bujang? Pantesan was getting married? Yes, sir?” joke Santi.


“Dih, what the hell! Already here the glass, I put the back, all want to shower too, you do not fall asleep, later even fall asleep. Mending you watch TV there, actually deh maghrib can not sleep if you are pregnant. Terrified said parents, game out room!” arya.


“Iye, Sir .. iye ..”


Arya came out of Santi's room. Santi is the first time he has met a boy and Aryan sehumoris. Santi smiled to herself when she remembered Arya wanted to ask her to marry him.


“Sebel too anyway? Have you just known marriage? How strange is he? But he's a hilarious one? Make my mood improve if you hear his advice,” muttered Santi by sitting on the sofa while turning on the television.
