The Love of Butterflies Night
Chapter 23

"This marriage is not legal!" A man with breath still panting stood at the door of the mosque.

"White?" Reynold was really shocked when he saw that his parents were suddenly there.

"Listen, Mr. Penghulu don't marry them because it turns out the bride is in the middle of a hamill"

Papih.

"Astag." Hearing the testimony from Papih, Pak Penghulu was immediately shocked.

"Is that really Mas Reynold?" Mr. Penghulu make sure.

"..."- ".Reynold could not argue, he then nodded as he lowered his face.

"Astagfirullah, then I can't marry you guys." Say penghulu firmly.

"But listen to me, this marriage must be done." Reynolds was panicking.

"I apologize once again. I can't do it." Penghulu firmly.

"Wait a minute, sir, don't leave yet." Reynold tried to hold the feather.

" Assalamualaikum." The pengulu also left.

"It's all because of Papih!" Reynold is now dealing with his Papih.

"What's? You want to blame Papih? You should be grateful to Rey that we saved you from destruction. What would you be if you married a secondhand woman like her. Papih knows if the child in the womb is not your child!" Papih even back nagged Reynold.

"How many times has Reynold asserted that never once did Papih interfere in Reynolds personal affairs! After all Papih himself has broken off the relationship between Father and son with Reynolds so why is Papih still disturbing Reynolds life!" Reynolds was furious. He really can't stand the actions of his Papih.

"You really aren't the Reynolds we used to know. You've changed, surely because of the bad influence of that woman." He said while pointing towards Elle.

Elle was shocked when her name was dragged along.

"Never blame or hurt Elle. He's innocent! Papih is the one who does not want to accept it. It's Reynold's choice, Papih can't stand in the way!"

"Basin' stubborn boy!"

"Your!" Papih hit Reynold hard.

"Hit! Just hit it all you want Papih. It won't hurt Reynolds because Reynolds heart won was broken long ago!"

"You really should be taught a lesson..." Papih almost wanted to finish him off.

"Tab! Enough's enough! Never once have you dared to finish my son off! You're just high school! You don't see the situation and the conditions, remember! This is a place of worship! If you want to make a fuss then find somewhere else! Not here!" Mamih eventually became the mediator between the two of them.

Papih also lowered his fist. Reynold who was ready to fend off was finally back down.

Meanwhile, Elle, the woman suddenly behaved strangely. It seems like he is grimacing in pain. No one noticed his movements because he was focusing on the quarrel between the father and the child.

"Aarghghh.." Elle grimaced softly. He felt his stomach hurt again.

Elle then tried to stand up. He wished he could walk out unnoticed by people. Elle then forced herself to stand up.

As she stood up, Elle was shocked by the blood dripping slowly from her legs. Elle's sight also became blurred. And all of a sudden...

"Elle." Reynold yelling.

He went straight to Elle.

"Elle! Elle!" Anxiously Reynolds tries to resuscitate Elle.

"Bagun Elle, brawn." Reynold patted Elle's cheek. But Elle was unconscious.

"Stay away from her Reynold! Why would you bother worrying about it or taking care of it! Just take care of your life!" Papih.

"Basic men have no heart! Can't you see he's dying! I won't mind your talk! Move over!" Reynold immediately picked up Elle and took her out.

Reynold took Elle to the hospital. With a heart so anxious Reynold ran down the hospital corridor screaming for help. Not long for the medical staff to arrive. Elle was taken by medical personnel.

Reynold patted his eel. He then leaned against the wall, it felt like he had failed in guarding Elle. Not to mention the wedding is off. Somehow Elle's reaction will be conscious later.

A few hours passed. The doctor came out of the IGD room accompanied by a nurse.

"Doctor, how's Elle doing?" Reynolds said worriedly.

"Almost, we almost lost the fetus. But... There's something else to worry about." The doctor breathed a long.

"What?" Reynolds heart immediately melos.

"His mother. He is in critical condition. The fetus in her stomach was endangering her. The mother and fetus are too weak. If this pregnancy continues with this condition then the risk of losing the mother and baby can occur." Obviously doctor.

"How did Elle survive? What's the way out is by aborting the baby? If yes, do it doc. What matters is that Elle survived." Said Reynold.

"That's the problem. We cannot have an abortion because there are some conditions of the mother's body that do not allow for an abortion. And it could be very dangerous for her mother's life as well. The only way is with a bed rest in the hospital with supervision from a doctor until the womb is four months old. By then the content had started to get stronger." Answer doctor.

"In the hospital for 2 months?" Reynolds was confused. It's not about the cost, because if it's about that Reynold can find it by working here and there. But this is about Elle, Reynold can't guarantee that he wants a bed rest in the hospital for 2 months.

"Is there no other way, Doc?"

"No."

Reynolds heart immediately melos. He was really faced in a really confusing condition.

Meanwhile in another place, Papih and Mamih are in the middle of a big storm. Of course the incident happened. Mamih now stands parallel to Papih with raised Eyebrows.

"Defend your son! You're spoiling her too much." Say Papih with glaring eyes.

"I'm defending him! You shut your ears to what's going on! You're insensitive! You hope your son will obey what you command and he will always be there for you while what we have done to him in the past is just the opposite!" Mamih opposed Papih.

"What do you mean say that!" Papih can't be said like that.

"Conscious! We were never there for him! He even grew up under the supervision of others. He was raised by loneliness and embraced by resentment. Revenge to her parents who abandoned her since childhood. Imagine, he who was a child at that time continued to ask and whine about his parents who left without news. Then what are you hoping for again? He is our flesh and blood, but he is not our son. We are not old people in his eyes. We are two strangers who constantly harass his life and pretentiously want to set the course of his life!"

Mamih explained it with tears.

Papih was stunned after hearing the words from his wife. He was not even able to stand up anymore. He sat down on the sofa that was nearby while covering his mouth. His eyes looked far away. Maybe Papih was looking at his son a dozen years ago. His lonely son cried all night calling himself.
