The Heart of Old Menjakaka
45. Allow me
"When you look after why get married? And there's Gugun too, Om." Steven turned to Gugun who was listening to him for a while. The man was silent without a word, like Aaron. "Absolutely Gugun does not want to take care of Om's child? If he doesn't want to, I can. But there's no need to marry her."
"But if he doesn't get married, he won't have a future, Stev. He won't be able to go to college and continue with the Om company."
"Kok that?" Steven's forehead twitched in wonder. "Not everywhere married at a young age can be said to have no future, huh? I've heard that term a lot, Om."
Danu. "No, the problem he's having won't be the same as that term."
"Then, what is the reason?"
"It's all because of the inheritance. You'll know for yourself what kind of image Om-omnya, Om not sure if he will love Citra. And Om has made a will, but the inheritance can be owned Citra only wait for him even 20 years," explained Danu at length.
"Oh, so. So I got married just to save an inheritance?"
"Yes, and Om wants us to agree to a covenant."
"What agreement?"
Danu stared at Aaron, then opened her eyes as if giving a signal. The bespectacled man immediately stood up and then gave Steven a brown map.
"What's this?" Steven's frown stared at the map in his hand.
"Open up and read," Danu said.
Steven instantly opened and read the contents inside, instantly his eyes were rounded.
"I married her but was forbidden to touch her? Especially until pregnancy. Then, what am I getting married for, Om?" Steven seemed to protest with the contents of the letter that seemed unreasonable.
"You read it all, not half-and-half."
Steven read it again and rounded his eyes while shaking his head. "It's the same as playing with marriage, Om. Son of Om will not agree."
"Don't tell him, keep this secret only the four of us know."
"But if one of us falls in love how? Or am I khilaf? Married is not arbitrary, Om. And I'm a normal guy too." Steven looked restless and agitated. The decision to marry is certainly not a trivial matter, this concerns his feelings and personal life.
"That's not gonna happen, Stev. If Om's son is in love with you it doesn't matter, but if you don't think it's possible."
"Can't be?" Steven's eye brows are linked.
"It's impossible, you'll often say that Om's child is not your type. You also often say that it is difficult to fall in love since singles. Aye, right?"
Yeah, what Danu said was true. Steven once said that in order to reject the marriage that Danu wanted when after seeing the photo Citra.
"What about the khilafnya?" Steven was silent for a moment. "Yes the name husband and wife .. although not in love but khilaf certainly can, right?"
"That wouldn't happen if you and he kept their distance. And Om sure .. You have a strong faith, you can't do that."
"As strong as one's faith, there must be times when it wavers, Om."
"That's not gonna happen." Danu looked so sure, without thinking ahead of her.
"You don't have to tell anyone about your marriage. It's only a short while, until the image is even 20 years old and you can let it go. You won't be burdened anymore, Stev. Burdened at the request of the dead" said Danu, and she soon wept. "Don't you always say that Om you already consider him your father? You also said that whatever Om asked you to do .. You can do it, right? Just this ... This is the only Om's request for you, Stev. Please Om before Om is gone." Danu's chest suddenly felt tight, indeed if she cried for too long she often felt something like that.
Danu's tears that had just flowed were now increasingly swift to make the pillow on her head wet. Steven's chest ached immediately, he felt the sadness. And he also did say what Danu said earlier. To fulfill Danu's request.
"Om begging you .. Please marry Citra, daughter of Om, after she graduates High School. Um sure ... You can be a good husband to him." This time Danu not only begged, but rather asked for mercy.
Steven who had been silent since then straightened his back, then slowly wasted a rough breath while answering. "Alright, I'll marry Citra, Om."
In his heart, I hope he doesn't make the wrong decision.
"thank you. You're a good man, Om lucky to know you." Danu smiled widely and slowly wiped away the tears on the cheeks. He felt his chest that had been tight now instantly relieved, his breathing that faltered was now back smoothly.
Aaron smiled listening to Steven's answer, then he gave Steven a pen.
Steven did not want to argue and give another reason to be able to refuse. His head felt dizzy and in the end with full doubt he signed.
"Thank you again, Stev. Om dear to you," said Danu slowly.
"I love you too, Om." Steven smiled wryly.
...(.(.Flashbacks Off)...
"I shouldn't have agreed to the agreement, and most importantly I shouldn't have to marry Citra!" screeched Steven loudly, he set his breathing up and down. His chest felt tight even so with something inside his pants that felt hot.
"But .. The body of the image is very beautiful. What else is that plump chest." Instantly Steven imagined two chewy objects that looked tantalizing. "Let me touch the Image, Dad. Just once ...," please Steven monologue. He's like a crazy person who talks to himself, even now his hands are cupped.
"I'd go crazy for a long time if I kept this up, Dad. At least I can feel it once. If it doesn't feel good, I won't do it again. But if it's good .. give me a bonus once, twice, three times, four times and many times. Ah .. must be delicious." Steven reached into hers that felt hardened in the pants, he grasped and then rubbed it back and forth.
Suddenly he heard the ringing of his cell phone. Very loud until the madness that Steven was doing was stopped. The man immediately pulled his hand and rubbed his face. After that he also picked up a phone call that turned out to be from Ajis front guard of his apartment.
"Hello."
"Sir Steven, I saw Miss Citra going out in the car with a man."
Steven's eyes immediately rounded, he immediately stood up and walked out of the room.
"Male? Who'sis that? What Arya?" Steven's chest immediately felt hot, then went up to the crown. His left hand was clenched tightly.
"Arya who? I don't know that. But clearly ... the person is like the age of the Father, only older he is a little," explained Ajis.
"Cool with me, a little older?" Steven repeated the words as he ran out of the apartment and into the elevator. "Are you following him now?"
