The Neglected Pearl
Part 30 A failed marriage

But Resti ignored their call, he seemed to do as he pleased and according to what was in his mind.

“You also deliberately rented a building this grand just to show off, if you are rich people ! isn't that ? Never dream !” Resti said in a loud voice.

No one responded to the words from Resti, because they knew that if the luxurious and magnificent house where the wedding took place, it was the property of Mang Ojo personally and not a rented house.

“Ooo, Turns out you all deliberately set my son up, huh ? Turns out that was your goal !”

“ Stop it Ma ! they never set us up, but we want to be a part of them !”

“Close your mouth ! remember Ranita, ever since you were among them, you've changed a lot. Right now you are not only humiliating Mama, but you are also already a dissident child !”

“That's not all true Ma ! I just want your blessing ! I never asked for anything but that, but why do you guys have to be like this ? huhuhuk !” ranita said as she cried hysterically.

“Mother was lying Ma ! from the beginning they also did not agree that his daughter married Mang Ojo's son, that's why they insulted and demeaned Mang Ojo in front of everyone, but Mama is not like them, is not ?” ask Niko to her mother who is on the verge of doubt.

“You're wrong Niko ! It is precisely Mama who is the most opposed to the marriage of you two. Right now Mama's eyes are really open with the rot of this scavenger family.”

“Ma, what the fuck, why did Mama change so quickly ?”

“You don't see what, Nik ? who are you marrying ? they are not equal to us ! they only come from low circles nak !”

“Ma, yes Allah ! why is this ?”

“From the beginning Mama also has not agreed to this marriage son, but your father always tried to persuade Mama.”

“Then why did Mama give Niko permission, to marry Intan ?”

“That's because of your Papa's crazy idea!” retno said in a loud voice.

“Heh Niko ! You are a man of valor, why would you plunge yourself into a poor man like this ?” shout Resti.

“Astagfirullah ! Realize Mom, you are old, you want to die again, the treasure is not brought into the grave, right ? don't like to insult people's poverty.”

“Jaga your greeting Niko !” snapped Retno hard.

“Mama is the same as her, eleven twelve, equally crazy treasure. I didn't expect at all that Mama could behave like that.”

“Ma, it's Ma, Ranita is ashamed Ma, you guys are like uneducated people. Although Mang Ojo and his family are scavengers, but they are not like you, his heart is clean, his name is fragrant, his soul is not dirty. You're the only ones who look at him like that.”

“Ranita is right ! you as parents, try to understand a little about us, we do not need anything, we just ask for your blessing !”

“Our kids are right Ma, Mama don't be so selfish why the hell !” said Mr. Margono mediate the quarrel of all of them.

“You must remember one thing, we came here of our own wishes, if you do not want this marriage, you can leave. I'm ashamed to have parents like you always petty and childish." Ranita continued, which was also ignited by emotions.

“Ranita ! Your eyes have them blind, son, so you ignored us for their sake ?” rasti said while crying bitterly.

“I'm not blinded by anyone, Ma ! I'm still Ranita first, Mama's dear daughter, who is currently for the sake of the family's good name, Mama has dumped her.”

“Shut your mouth Ranita ! If that's what you want, then Mama will give you !” resti.

“Already, already Ma ! you don't know shame ! Papa who blesses their relationship. Istighfar Ma, Istighfar ! don't follow your emotions. Ranita is right, she never denied our orders !” said Papa Ranita, who could not stand the babbling of his wife.

“Papa ! what the fuck are you ! Instead of thinking Mama, just defending her son who was clearly guilty !”

Because Margono left the event, then the people who were with Mr. Margono also left Ranita who was crying sadly.

Meanwhile, Mama Niko, who had been seduced by Resti, had a recurring heart attack and had to be rushed to the hospital.

Seeing the incident, Intan sobbed in front of the ruler, but Niko made a wise decision.

“Sorry, please marry me to Intan Pak, after that I just followed Mama to the hospital.” Niko said she hoped for Mang Ojo.

“But son ? they do not agree with this marriage ?”

“That has full responsibility in a household is Papa ! while Papa has already approved it kok.”

“Alright son.” replied Mang Ojo while sitting back in front of Niko.

The wedding was held between Niko and Intan, ijab qobul went well and was witnessed by many people.

While Ranita lay limp in the lap of Alhuda, a wedding dress worn on a happy day, wet with tears.

“It looks like today is the day for me to grieve, Bang.” Ranita's sigh with a soft voice.

“Who is patient dear, there will be no day of mourning, if we do not consider it that way, because all days are the same, it makes no difference.

“But they have let me down Bang.”

You know it's a pity, but not everyone is principled the same, maybe your Mama's principle is different from ours, but the goal must be the same.”

“What does Brother mean ?”

“They must both want happiness for her children.”

“Abang true.” Ranita replied slowly.

Meanwhile, after marriage. Niko asks his wife for permission to follow her mother to the hospital.

“Let's go, we go home, this is not your place ! My mother would not marry you

unemployed like him !”

“Ngak Ma ! I'm not going home, let me die here.” Reply Ranita pasrah.

“ No son ! don't talk like that to Mama !” said Resti who was still crying.

“Mana Papa ? if he doesn't marry me to Alhuda today, I'll make sure you don't see me forever, you put your degrees and your egos first, right ? You crazy old men of treasure ! this take all the treasures you gave me.” Ranita said while removing all jewelry given by her parents.

From a distance Margono saw her daughter look sad on Alhuda's lap, she came to him.

“Do not get off nak ! that's a gift for you !”

“For what, this gift that will bring me miserable life later.”
