A few days later, in the village of Muara Asri.
Dea was silent in front of the glass of the house while staring outwards with a matted face. This was the umpteenth time Julian stood in front of his house with a disheveled appearance.
Susi who had just come out of her room, immediately approached Dea.
"Why, Dea? Julian's coming again?" susi asked Dea while peeking out, precisely to the front yard of her house.
"Hmm, no more mistakes!" Susi grunted in annoyance. "What really happened to that guy? Every day drunk and after being satisfied drunk, he comes and makes trouble again here!" gerutu Susi cursed the arrival of Julian for the umpteenth time.
Susi goes and meets Herman who is still in their room. "Mas Herman! Mas," called Susi while opening the door to her room.
"What's up, Susi?"
"Let's look in front. The stressed man came again and I'm afraid he's back to troublemaking here" Susi said.
Herman who had been standing behind Susi while wearing his shirt, immediately turned around and looked at the woman fixedly. "Who do you mean? Julian?"
Susi nodded quickly. "Yes, who else if not Julian! The man seemed to have gone completely insane. Maybe he got karmic because his whole family has humiliated and spread our disgrace" Susi said.
Without listening to Susi's words, Herman rushed out of his room then walked towards the main door, where Dea was still standing there with an anxious face.
"Stay here and don't come out, okay?!" herman to Dea.
Dea nodded slowly, while Herman continued to step out and meet the man.
"Well what else are you here for, Julian? Want to do some more troublemaking?" herman asked with an annoyed face looking at Julian who was still standing in his courtyard.
Julian shook his head. "No, Mas. I just want to meet Dea here and I promise I'll never be troublemakers again, believe me!" julian answered while giving Julian a hand.
Herman breathed heavily. "You better go home, Julian. I don't want to deal with your family anymore. It's been enough for your family to humiliate us all this time" Herman replied as he approached Julian and pushed his body slowly to leave the place.
However, Julian was reluctant to move from that place. He insisted on staying there even though Herman continued to try to expel him.
However, instead of poking Herman's words, Julian shouted loudly to Dea. "Dea! I know you're inside. Now get out, Dea, and listen to my explanation!"
"There's nothing to talk about anymore, Julian. After all, you can't go back with my sister because my sister doesn't have any feelings for you anymore" upset Herman as he pushed Julian's body violently, out of his yard.
"That's a lie! I can't believe it! I'm sure Dea still loves me, just like I still have feelings for him" Julian said with great confidence.
Herman laughed sarcastically at the man's reply. "How can you be so sure that Dea still loves you, while you've hurt her in such a way. Have you forgotten that, Julian? And one more thing, you said that you still have feelings for Dea, then why so easily turn away and decide to marry your new wife."
"Because of that, give me time to meet Dea and explain everything. Give me one more chance to right my wrongs, Mas," said Julian with teary eyes looking at Herman.
"No! Go now!" firmly Herman pointed towards the road so that Julian immediately left the place.
Julian finally gave up and slowly left the place. Herman went back inside the house and locked the door.
"Dea, come here!" tell Herman to sit on the sofa in the front room.
"What's up, brother?" Dea was sitting not far from Herman's side, while Susi chose to sit next to her husband.
"Look, Dea. If the man from that city really seriously wants to take responsibility for you and your baby, you should just accept his proposal. I'm worried, Dea. Brother is afraid Julian will be more reckless and endanger you and your womb. At least by marrying the man of the city, you can leave this village and start living with the man" said Herman with a tangled face staring at Dea.
Of course Herman's words back then were like a breath of fresh air to Susi. "Yes, that's right, Dea. Anyway yes, my. Mr. Alfa has indeed prepared everything, just waiting for approval from Mas only and everything is in order," replied Susi with a cold face.
Herman breathed heavily. "How, Dea?" herman asked as he looked closely at his sister.
Though hesitating, Dea finally nodded. "As I said before, brother. I will accept his proposal for the sake of this baby" Dea replied.
"All right then. Susi, call the guy and have him meet me. I want to talk to him in one eye" Herman said later.
"Good, Mas. Of course," Susi replied with great enthusiasm.
