The Seed of the Heir
Chapter 6

Susi who could not help but feel upset immediately sat Dea onto the front room sofa very roughly. "What happened to you, Dea! Tell me honestly. Tell the truth to your brother! Just be careful if you dare to lie then I will not hesitate to punish you!"

Dea again lowered her head to the floor while rolling up the end of her shirt. The curious Herman stood beside Susi while waiting for the answer from her younger sister.

Instead of answering the question from his sister-in-law, Dea sobbed there until her tiny body shook violently. He didn't know how to tell them about last night.

Seeing that, Susi was getting more emotional. He pulled Dea's hair violently while scolding the girl.

"You're deaf, huh? Instead of answering my question, you're acting like a baby!" upset Susi.

"Sorry, Brother! Forgive me," Dea said as she wiped her tears. This was just the beginning and Dea was sure that the punishment she would get from the woman would be even more sinister after knowing the truth that she was no longer holy.

"Just answer your brother's question, Dea. Explain everything so we know what really happened to you" Herman said, trying to persuade Dea to answer their questions immediately.

"Who has done this to you, Dea? Is that Julian? If that's true then I'll go to her house immediately and ask the man to hasten your marriage. Absolutely disgraceful!" ketus Susi again while leaving in front of Dea.

Slowly Dea raised his head. He turned to Susi and Herman alternately with faces that still looked pale. He shook slowly and then answered the question from his brother-in-law stammering.

"Bu-not Julian, Brother. No," she said with trembling lips.

"No!" susi's cry was so shocked to hear the answer from Dea. "If not Julian, then who, Dea! Say," continued Susi with anxiety. He again grabbed both of Dea's shoulders and shook her body violently.

"Actually last night I was raped, sister. And I don't know who that man is" Dea sighed with tears in her eyes.

"What?!" squealing Susi and Herman at the same time. They were completely shocked to hear the answer from the girl. Susi was getting inflamed, the woman had even unconsciously attacked Dea and beat her up many times.

"Agod, Brother! Forgive ... I don't want this either" Dea said while protecting his face with both hands from Susi's repeated attacks. There was a heartbreaking moaning sound coming out of the girl's lips as Susi beat her.

It's not just Susi who's up in blood. Herman also followed closely. He even hit Dea's cheek hard to make the corner of the girl's lips bleed.

Plaque!

"You really did, Dea! What if Julian's family knew this? They may cancel your marriage unilaterally! Where will we put our faces? Now tell me, who did that to you!" herman was already unable to control his emotions.

Dea shook her head quickly while holding the corner of her blue lips. "I don't know, Brother. I don't even recognize them" Dea replied between sobs.

"They, you say! That means they are more than one person?!" screech Susi again with bulging eyes.

While Herman dropped himself onto the sofa while scrambling his hair that had been neatly combed until it looked disheveled. He looked desperate and did not know what else to say.

"Oh yes, God!" Susi nibbled her temple.

I don't know how shameful things can happen. "It's all because of you, Dea! Didn't I forbid you to meet Julian and now you see for yourself! No virgin girl walks in the morning blind, except you! Yes, you are that stupid!"

Susi pushed Dea's forehead violently until the girl's head retreated a few cents back.

"I'm sorry, Brother."

"I'm sorry you said? Indeed by apologizing this matter will be finished just like that, Dea? Then, apologizing, Julian's family would accept you, who's not a virgin, would you?" Susi grunted in annoyance.

Now Susi's gaze turned to Herman who was still silent on the sofa with his disheveled face. Susi smiled cynically and then spoke again.

"Now it's proven, Mas. What I'm worried about is actually happening."

Herman was completely at a loss for words. He felt very embarrassed because he did not believe Susi's words before.

"Look at your beloved sister! Look at the way he thanks us for taking the trouble to raise him! He even wants to smear our faces in front of the entire village!" susi grumbled to Herman who was still silent.

Herman finally lifted his head and looked at Susi. "What should we do after this? Do we have to tell the truth to Julian's family?"

Susi shook her head quickly. He completely disagreed with Herman's words just now.

"No-no! Don't do that! I don't agree! Do you want all the villagers to know that your little sister is no longer holy, huh? After you confessed it to Julian's extended family, I was sure that they would never shut up. They would definitely spread that embarrassing news to the entire village!"

"Yes, you're right. Then how should we?" ask the desperate Herman.

"Let this be our secret. We'll keep this a secret until Julian and Dea's wedding is done. And after that, let Dea explain everything to Julian. If the man really loved her, then it was no big deal for Julian. It's a rape anyway, not because Dea cheated on her, right?" Susi glanced at Dea who seemed to object to her decision.

"However, if Julian can't accept you, that means he doesn't really love you for who you are, Dea!" continued Susi.

Dea returned Susi's gaze. "Actually I'm not sure, brother. I don't think Julian will be able to accept that" Dea said with a sad face.

"Yes, already. Accept your fate! You will be banished by Julian, insulted by his entire family, a village will know your disgrace and that means you are finished, Dea!" ketus Susi's.

"Eat him, your brain is being used!" Susi pushed back the rough forehead of Dea with her index finger. "If I say don't go, don't go! Now you feel the consequences. Because he likes to argue the words of parents," continued Susi with an annoyed face.
