The Passion of Duda Perjaka
Behind Alex's Selfishness
But in the end, the more here the two parents Syasa increasingly suspicious. So this problem must be resolved immediately, before bad things happen to the household of his son who is still a lifetime of corn.
"If we don't have children yet, it's a sign that God hasn't given us his trust, Father" Alex replied, spontaneously.
"Where do you know that God does not believe in you? The only barrier here, though, is distance and work!"
"Don't think we don't know, if lately you've always been fussing about children's problems and careers!"
"We are silent, it does not mean that we do not pay attention to your household. It's just, we're still monitoring how far you can solve the problem,"
"But, actually. You can't finish it with a cold head."
"Now I'm asking you, Sasha. What's your goal in marrying Alex?"
Brian's father looked at Sasha who was still hiccupping in his husband's arms. While Alex immediately scooped his wife's face while wiping her tears.
Alex shook his head slightly, so that Sasha would not continue crying like this. Alex wants Sasya to be a strong woman and can face all the problems.
Sasha took a deep breath, then she looked back at Brian's father's face and answered all the questions Brian's father would ask.
"I-I'm sorry, Mother. Maybe Sasha has let you down, but Sasha and Mas Alex are getting married because we love each other" said Sasha, a little quiet.
"If you love your husband, then why don't you listen to his request?" asked Brian's father to look at his daughter.
"I-I mean, Dad?" ask back, Sasha.
"Do you have to be clear that your husband wants a descendant. But why are you putting everything aside on a career basis."
"Yes, I know your career is now soaring high compared to your husband. Just, back again. What is a wife's duty to her husband?"
Brian's dad is running out of Syasa with all the questions. Not even Sasha knew what else to answer.
On the one hand, Sasha has realized that she has become a wife. On the other hand, Sasha also did not want if his career on the clouds immediately crashed to the earth.
Though Sasha had been hard-earned to achieve all of that from ground zero, so she was reluctant to let go.
"Why silence? You can't answer the question, Dad?" said Brian's father, come back.
"Sorry Dad, maybe let Alex answer all of your questions. God willing Alex is ready." said Alex who did not have the heart to see his wife began to be depressed.
"Well, if you want to answer everything. So answer me, what is the duty of a wife to her husband?"
Brian's father kept repeating the same question, because he still had to provoke the emotions in the heart of the child and also his daughter-in-law.
If the emotions in their hearts had already come out, it was likely that they would have come to a realization. Because in the household, it is not good when the two highlight each other's selfishness.
"Alex knew that perhaps at a young age Sasha had not understood the task of being a wife. Just according to Alex, so far Sasha has been trying to be the best make-"
"So the best? Where is the best location. He's still big head following his ego, even he's more concerned with his career than his household."
Brian's father cut Alex's words. He was so upset when the two husband and wife in front of him, always twirling to give an explanation to him.
"Yes, Sasha knows Dad. Sasha was a child, a child rather than Alex. But, we've also committed to not having each other worry about careers!" sahut Sasya who began to get carried away.
"I know, I haven't been able to give you any offspring. Cuman, we keep trying, so if it has not been given you should understand, Mas. Not even blaming my career!"
Sasha looked at her husband with a look of annoyance. As for Alex, he did not expect that his wife could tighten her voice to him.
Plus, Sasya even seems to continue to blame her husband for everything that happened to them.
"Sasya, stop saying that! He's your husband, so never raise your voice in front of him. Mother and Father, never taught you that at all!" reprimand Mother Hana who was swept away in the atmosphere, when seeing the behavior of her daughter.
Brian's father turned to his wife, then he gave a code so that Mother Hana did not interfere.
"Let it go, I want to see how far they understand each other." murmured little Brian's father.
"But, Mas ...." Mother Hana stopped her speech, as her husband gave her the code. Mother Hana also began to fall silent, listening to everything.
"What do you mean blame me, Syaa. I've always defended you in front of them, but why did you leave everything to me?" firmly Alex.
"It's your fault, Mom. You always exaggerate every time we have a problem. Even before marriage, we are committed to not forbid anyone from us to continue his career." replied Sasha, her tears continued.
"I never exaggerate the problem, Syaa. I'm the head of the household, you should respect me instead of blaming me."
"If I forbid you from making a career, maybe I've already taken action for you to risk becoming a doctor here and coming with me to Indonesia,"
"But what? I can wait for you, right? Not to mention I'm willing to go back and forth Indonesian-American even though my body is very tired."
"All I do, for whom? For you, my wife. The person I've been in love with all this time, I'm willing to spend all my time on the road just to visit you here,"
"During the debate that we went through, not once did I tell you to be risent, nor did I forbid you from becoming a doctor, nor did I ever ask for your time!"
"I only ask for 1 thing, which is a descendant. I'm not young anymore, I don't know when my age will end. It could be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or next week."
"So from that, I just want to feel what it's like to be a Daddy. Despite our distance, I willingly, I sincerely. As long as I can always see a smile on my children's faces,"
"I want a child, doesn't mean I'm forcing you to have a child right now. Nah! We can slowly join the program on the sidelines of our busyness, what else we are both declared healthy without obstacles"
"Just, you always don't have time to do that. What if I'm not in a plane crash when I leave here?"
"Then, what can I leave for you? A treasure? It will not guarantee your happiness. But, descendants. It can always be a force for you to step back, when I'm gone."
"Yes, maybe, the way I was wrong in saying all that. So without me realizing there are words spoken from my lips that hurt you, but honestly Syaa. I have no intention of stopping your career."
"Every day I always dream suddenly something bad comes to me, when we have no children. Until I finally have to leave you alone for good, hiks ...."
"I don't want to if you have to continue to grieve over my loss, different when we have offspring. Sure, he could ease the sadness on his Mommy face. Until you forget my departure, hiks ...."
Alex lowered his head in tears, even Alex's words were able to make his two in-laws tear up.
Mother Hana and also Father Brian, they really did not expect if his daughter-in-law could think that far.
At first they thought Alex wanted a child just because, he was ashamed at the age that had begun to age still did not have a child.
But in fact they are wrong. Alex wants offspring, because he does not want his wife to live alone, when something bad happens to him in the near enough time.
