The Neglected Pearl
Part 25 Desire is rejected
“Sama-sama, then excuse me first.” said dr. Burhan stepped away leaving Ranit's room
So painful the suffering experienced by Ranita, for the sake of fighting for her holy love she was willing to go on hunger strike, to endanger her own life.
But the same thing happened to Niko. His suffering was also heavy, for the sake of achieving the plan he had agreed with Mang Ojo, to get Intan, Niko was also willing to do anything.
At that time he secretly went to his parents, who were completing schoolwork that he brought home.
“Ma, Pa ! Niko wants to talk about having no time ?”
“By the way ! take time all over again !” retno replied while continuing to complete the exam questions that will be discussed tomorrow.
“What do you want to talk about ?”
“Ma, Pa ! Niko wants to marry !”
“What ! marriage ?” niko's parents replied in shock.
“Iya, why ?”
“Who are you, son ?” asked Hermawan in disbelief. “Didn't you know a woman ! Then marry sopo toh le, lee ?”
“Yes, same woman, Pa ! niko married a boy. Niko seriously this Pa.”
“Iya dear, but you want to marry who ?”
“Same someone Pa !”
“Someone who is Le ?”
“With son Mang Ojo.”
“With Mang Ojo's son ? who is Mang Ojo ?” ask Retno curiously.
“He works as a seller of boiled peanuts Ma.”
“Where ?”
“Circular.”
“But the process is not that easy, Papa and Mama you need time to think first.” said Hermawan with a sweet smile on his lips.
“But don't wear it for long ! If it turns out to apply for it later, Niko will apply by herself.” Strictly on Papa and Mama.
“Eee, wait, wait, wait ! don't rush, son, do you want to marry who was ?” tanya Retno tried to remind him again.
“With Intan, the owner of the restaurant blessings, which are in the slums.”
“What ? The slums ? not wrong with ?” retno convinced his son.
“Indeed why, if Niko married a woman from the slums, Ma ?”
“Niko ! If you're married to a woman from the slums, it's tantamount to tarnishing the good name of our family son.” Retno said in a high tone.
“Unfortunately our family has a good name, yes ?”
“This you base ! who are the parents of the woman ?”
“They all come from the slums, his father is a traveling peanut seller, while his mother is a scavenger. But they can change everything.”
“Change what ?”
"Turned his family, from poor and deprived, to rich people with wealth. Although living in the slums but they can change their fate.”
“But keep saying that the woman is the son of a scavenger ? remember, Niko ? if the seedlings, bebet and the weights are ugly ! Yes, the offspring is also ugly, son !”
“Niko ! it's not so maxed out of us, but your mama has a point too, right ? if you marry the scavenger's daughter ? later your offspring is also not healthy.”
“Ah ! Papa followed Mama like her ! well if you don't want to apply for Intan, let Niko herself come to propose.”
“Patience, son ? if you want to go home, we can find you a beautiful wife, the son of a rich man again, whose life is on par with ours. Not the son of a scavenger.”
“Yes, then, please Mama find her yourself, and marry her to Papa, let Mama be satisfied !” niko was emotionally disturbed.
“Niko ! you're getting brazen, yeah ! what has entered your filthy mind !” snapped Retno at her son. "Then Papa and Mama do not have to bless your marriage.”
“Well, if Papa and Mama do not want to approve Niko's marriage with Intan, no problem. Niko can really apply for Intan without your blessing !”
“Basic brat ! How dare you treat Mama like this Niko. Get out of this house !” Shouted Retno in a loud voice.
“Good ! No time anyway, today also Niko will come out of this house !” niko answered with emotion.
“Niko ! Niko ! Don't go son, don't leave Mama !” retno screams while running after his son.
“For you to know, I'm just asking you for your blessing, that's all ! Mama and Papa look at it, if all this time I have never demanded much from you. My age is advanced Pa, Ma, then how should I ?” niko replied as she passed away leaving Papa and Mama.
Meanwhile, Retno, who has kicked out her only son, feels sorry for fear that Niko will not return to her family. He also tried to pursue her.
“Udah Ma, already ! do not need to be pursued, later he will go home alone to this house.”
“Yes if you go home ! If not, what is ?” retno was not sure what her husband said.
“If he doesn't come home, let Papa do it later.”
“But where, Pa ?”
“Yes, shabby insight, didn't he himself say that he would marry the girl from the slums ?”
“If you don't see how ?”
“Will Papa search all the way to the end of the sky.”
“Papa seriously ! want to search to the end of the sky ?”
“Why not ! as long as Mama, do not force yourself, to suppress it.”
“Means Papa, what ?”
“Actually, Mama is too imposing a will, so this is how the result is !”
“Papa don't blame Mama keep dong!”
“Papa does not blame Mama, but Papa just reminded him, Mama realized, if Mama had heart disease ?”
“Iya, Pa.”
“Ma, Niko is an adult, she can certainly weigh the good and bad of what has been her life choice, we as parents can only advise, the rest leave it to her.”
“But that was Papa blaming Mama right?”
“Who blames Mama ! Papa does not blame Mama anyway, just that Mama is too imposing her will on Niko, just let her choose her own soul mate, thoh who will wear it she herself ? then why are we busy taking care of it ?”
“That according to Papa ? if Niko marries the scavenger's son, our family's reputation, our dignity, our honor and our family's good name are exhausted. Want Mama to put where Mama's face is, Pa ! in the office must be all friends mocking Mama.”
“Yes already, if according to Mama it's more important. Please just keep it up and never Mama complain about Niko's behavior on Papa.”
“No dong, Pa !”
