The Heart of Old Menjakaka
110. Is that a marriage contract?
Degh's!
The heart of Citra paused for a moment to hear that word. His chest throbbed with pain.
Steven shook his head quickly. "I and Citra are not getting divorced! And I love Citra so much, Ma!" emphatically.
"Do you also know about Steven's agreement with your father, Cit?" Sindi asked Citra. The girl nodded quickly too.
"I don't know, Ma. Since long ago .. I have often asked Om Ganteng and Om Gugun about the trust of Father. But until now they don't want to talk honestly to me." Citra's tears instantly burst, but she quickly wiped them.
"Guard?" Sindi looked confused at hearing the name. "So Gugun knows too?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"That mountain was your father?"
"Assistant, he's Dad's personal assistant."
"The assistant Gugun and Steven who became his son-in-law knew about the agreement, but you as his son were not told?"
Strange, that word is currently imagined in the brain of Sindi.
The image nodded, his face flushed red. He looks very sad.
"But he's your real father, isn't he, Cit?"
"Of course, Ma!" hatch Steven. "The image is his only child. His father had his own reasons why he didn't tell. And the reason is for the best, for the future of Citra."
"Well Dad's not good for me at all, Om!" exclaim Citra with a rumbling chest. Hearing some series of questions from Sindi, made her curiosity since long ago now present. And for him, now he must know everything. "Dad Amana made my life fall apart, and so did my life Om! I hate a promise that Om keeps mentioning but there is absolutely no reason! I'm so sick of it!" Image's breath was hunting and her tears suddenly flowed down her cheeks.
Seeing Citra crying, Steven immediately wiped the tears on the cheeks. But soon the girl brushed it off. He also removed Steven's armrests on his waist, then sat down to move away.
Angga actually wants to move and approach Citra. His mouth even wanted to cuss Steven, but one of his legs was stepped firmly by Sindi. Also her chatty lips Sindi was silenced with one of her hands.
"Papa stay in place or Papa Mama satay bird!" threaten her. Sindi's voice was slow, but filled with emphasis. Angga gulped, then nodded quickly.
'The Love of Dedek Gemes. Her marriage to Steven seems complicated. If only I knew Dedek's father, not Steven. Surely everything will not be like this, ' Inner Angga.
"But, Cit. That—”
”I'm tired of hearing a thousand kinds of excuses from Om's mouth!" sergeant Citra quickly, interrupting Steven's speech. "Now no more." The image of the head bobbles, then wiping the tears that continue to flow soaked his cheeks. "If Om still wants to be with me, be honest. Don't ever have anything covered up again!"
"Yes, you're honest. No need to think about that trust anymore." Sindi followed.
"But if I'm honest, won't I sin? A promise is a debt, what else is a promise from a dead person." Steven looked at Sindi with great concern.
"But with that agreement your marriage and Citra are not healthy, Stev," Sindi said. "There is no marriage covered up, what else the agreement is not known by Citra. You're going to be married to him, not to his father."
She and Citra are both female. And seeing the image that had been crying since, Sindi was also filled with pity and pity.
"No, you don't have to do that." Steven shook his head quickly. No, he did not want Sindi to represent to take away sins. It's very heavy and he doesn't want to be a bad boy.
Steven folded his lips and let out a rough breath. Slowly he closed his eyes. 'Dad ... is it time to be honest?
'I'm sorry, but that's all I can say. Dad once said when we met in the dream .. if the agreement is off. And I can continue my household with Citra. But Citra needs that honesty and this time .. I can't seem to cover it anymore. Again I'm sorry, Dad. I love you with Dad and Citra.'
"Let's sleep again, your wife cries it out!" sentak Sindi while patting Steven's left thigh rough. His son was immediately stunned with wide-open eyes.
"Yes, yeah. I'll tell you." Steven nodded quickly. "But ... This will sound hurtful, what else for Image." Steven turned to Citra and smiled sweetly at her. "But you also have to believe, if it's just a deal that has passed. So too with my heart. I love you so much now, Cit."
Steven was sure, with him telling me about the agreement—certainly the problem will spread everywhere. Because it has something to do with the reason he did not want to introduce Citra to his parents. And there will certainly be many new questions that Sindi gives later.
"Just talk, Om. There is no need for pleasantries" Citra said as she wiped away the tears.
The initial intention of wanting to make the girl melt a little due to her declaration of love, but it didn't seem like it. Because Citra wants proof of Steven's love and honesty to fit into the category.
Slowly Steven let out his breath. Then looked fixed Citra's face while saying, "The agreement is a marriage contract agreement. A week before we get married ... I repeatedly pleaded with you to marry me."
"I often refused, but Dad kept begging until I couldn't bear to refuse him again."
"But .. after I was willing to marry you, Dad gave me a letter, Cit. And that letter is a marriage contract."
"What is a marriage contract? And is the letter in the brown map?" ask Citra. Again Gugun said he remembered. The pooping moment in the pants when looking for it is also impossible Citra just forget it.
Steven nodded quickly. "Yes, it's in the chocolate map. And the marriage contract is a marriage that has a period of time. Dad only asked me to marry you until you turned 20, Cit."
The eyes of the Image instantly widened. "20 years?" His eyes immediately returned to tears. "For a while, but why do you have so much heart to want your child to become a widow?"
"It's not a problem that I want you to be a widow quickly. But the marriage was just purely to save the inheritance."
"heritage?"
"Yes." Yeah." Steven nodded. "You remember that legacy, right? If you are not married, I will not be able to give you inheritance because you have not even 20 years. And now I'm his guardian, for the sake of saving the inheritance."
"And keep in mind" Steven added. "The two Om-Ommu have always been after Father's inheritance. No one loves you at all. And that's also a strong reason for you and me to get married to Daddy's wishes."
Image's tears instantly melted, but she still continued to wipe it. It feels so sad. The truth is bitter.
