The Married By Challenge
The Part 114

While on a trip with Vino at that time, Sarah had decided that she wanted to go somewhere that her family could not reach. Somewhere they'd never think Sarah was there.

Here he is now, in a rural village. As Bu Asih said, electricity alone is still difficult what else is the Internet. And there's no way anyone's looking for Sarah to get here. Sarah knows this place because she used to watch a horror film that tells about a village in the interior that is still far from the world of technology.

Sarah used to watch her with Naina and Jacob, then she and Naina were curious if there was such a place in Indonesia. And after they searched through the Internet it turns out there, Sarah was very grateful it turns out her curiosity time was very useful.

No cell phones, no laptops, no internet. Sarah is only focusing on herself and the baby in her womb.

In the past, he could get to this village on a bus. At first Sarah still did not know what to do there and how Sarah got a place to live. Until he met Bu Asih who had just finished teaching at the elementary school there.

Bu Asih is a teacher and vice principal there, Sarah also asked for his help to find a place to live.

Bu Asih also put Sarah in a simple house that is often rented if there are city people who come to the village. Bu Asih said they usually rent within a week or two to three weeks at most. And Bu Asih was very surprised when Sarah said she would be there long enough and she also needed a job. The money Sarah brought would have run out later and before her money ran out Sarah would have to get a job.

Bu Asih also began to ask various questions to Sarah, including why Sarah could get to the village.

Sarah said she was running away from a problem she could not face. Sarah has also admitted that she is pregnant, Ms. Asih also glanced at Sarah's ring finger where a beautiful circular wedding ring there. Sarah is pregnant and married, of course Bu Asih will not think that Sarah is not even 18 years old.

Bu Asih mentioned various jobs in the village, from selling in the market, farmers, and various jobs that felt very difficult to do by Sarah.

Until one day Sarah walked the road in the village while thinking about what she should work for, and accidentally she saw Bu Asih in an elementary school. The school is still in its elementary style, even writing still uses chalk.

Sarah greeted Ma Asih, and once again asked for a job. Sarah is willing if for example to be a cleaner at the school, but Bu Asih said that the clean matter of the school students can do it, the student can do it, and every weekend there's filial work there.

Sarah offered to be a teacher, any teacher. Sarah said she did not have her last education diploma but Sarah pleaded to be given the opportunity to teach.

Bu Asih said the school did not lack teachers while mentioning teacher teachers in every subject. Sarah realized that there were no English subjects there.

Sarah also proposed it, and Bu Asih was happy to hear Sarah's proposal but he had to talk about it first with the principal and other teacher staff. When they had decided, Ms. Asih said she would call Sarah and see Sarah's ability to teach.

Of course Sarah is very happy, being an elementary school teacher is not difficult, she thought.

And this is how he is now, becoming an elementary school teacher. And reality is different from expectation. Teaching the material is easy, but organizing the child is very difficult. But Sarah tried hard to live her new profession well.

When someone asks how old Sarah is, Sarah answers that she is 23. And when someone asks where the father of the baby is, Sarah avoids the person who asks.

.........

"Sir..." Bi Eni approached Devano and sat down by the pool.

"Bi Eni what's going on here? Bi Eni is old, later if it falls how" said Devano who made Bi Eni laugh.

"I'm here just to remind you of your promise" he said

"What promise?" tanya Devano glanced at Bi Eni.

"Mr has promised Lady Sarah that you will stop smoking when Lady Sarah is pregnant, and now she is pregnant." Bi Eni said in a choked voice, it was as if he also felt tightness in his chest with Sarah's departure.

Devano was silent at once, recalling how Sarah asked her to stop smoking and Devano said she would stop smoking while Sarah was pregnant.

Devano put out his cigarette, he got up from there and went to his room.

Devano took all the cigarettes he had.

Devano brings her forward and throws her into the trash then he burns her.

Devano no longer wants to be a man who does not keep his promises. Although he used to say that he would stop smoking when Sarah was pregnant because Devano knew that cigarette smoke was not good for pregnant women, and even though Sarah's not on her side and won't inhale cigarette smoke from her, Devano wants to keep his promise to Sarah.

"I miss you, My Little Sarah. I miss you so much." said Devano while watching the fire that devoured his cigarette was "I will keep all my promises, I will not lie to you again. There will be no more lies, please go home, dear.." Unknowingly Devano shed tears of his longing.

He closed his eyes and recalled his time with his beloved wife, tears were pouring in and the shadow of his memories with his wife continued to spin in his mind.

.........

Sarah plays her wedding ring that is coiled on her ring finger, Sarah did never wear the ring before her but Sarah always takes her wherever she goes. And now he wears it and never once did he take it off.

"I miss you, Dev. I miss sleeping in your arms"
