The Shackles of Love of the Substitute Woman
Chapter 13

Bu Tini who just returned from the house of Vira also went straight to the Bu Kokom stall where there are many mothers chatting.

"Where's Tini from?" ask Bi kokom curious.

"I ran out of Vira's house pregnant out of wedlock" replied Ms. Tini upset.

"Woman's been kicked out?" ask Miss Lina.

"Yes, she must be a cheap woman and even conceive an illegitimate child born without a father. If we keep letting him stay here we will all be sinned by the result of the adultery of the Vira," said Bu Tini who again said hatred to Vira.

"Well, we have to get rid of that woman" said Ms. Lina.

"What's this, like, again on saying something rame?" ask Miss Maryam.

"This is Mom, we're talking about Vira, the woman who's pregnant without a husband. And now we again demand the same RT chief RW to evict the woman from this village because otherwise we will all be exposed to sin. Moreover, he had a crush on an illegitimate child who would certainly bring bad luck to everyone in this village," said Bu Tini explained.

"Is that not excessive? After all, she could have been pregnant and not have a husband because there are other reasons" said Miss Maryam.

"What other reason, Mom? Everyone knows if a woman is pregnant, yes she must have had a relationship without marriage" said Ms. Tini.

"I mean she could have been pregnant because she was raped or forced and not because of her wishes, so we should never recriminate like that because if it wasn't true it would be slanderous," said Miss Maryam reminded.

Hearing that the mothers who were gathering were immediately silent and so was Bu Tini, he immediately sauntered away.

Vira is now holding back the anger and sadness in his heart, he does not accept the words of Tini who said that his son was an illegitimate child who would be a bad carrier for the villagers.

Vira's cry began to sound, she was indeed a woman who did not have a husband but why should people intimidate her excessively like that. Anyone who wants to have a child without a husband, Lia and Nila who see their boss crying can only be silent and can not do much.

It's been 3 days...

"Me and the other mothers want this Vira to be kicked out of our village," said Bu Tini with a loud voice followed by cheers from other mothers.

"No, I'm not leaving. This is my house and I bought the house and the land using the money I have," said Vira who objected to Bu Tini's request.

"You must go, a sinful woman like you is not worthy to be in this village. What we have is following sin and can even be punished," said Ms. Tini in a derogatory tone.

"So your mouth well, if you give a logical and reasonable reason, want sin or torment it is not you who determine. Even if this village is doomed not because of me but because of you and your mouth that is not in your care, which usually only hurt people without thinking about the feelings of others," said the upset Vira.

"Of course, this is why it's so noisy. Now I hope everything is calm and do not fuss, we will start deliberation so that all get justice each."

Now the deliberation was started and for the umpteenth time Bu Tini still kekeh with the decision to expel Vira from his village but Vira was the same he still maintained to stay in the village because of him bought a house and land.

"Well, I'm going to get out of this village." Said Vira who immediately made Bu Tini smile happily. "But on one condition, I want Bu Tini to buy my house worth 600 million rupiah according to the initial price, and just calm down the house I just repaired."

Hearing that, Ms. Tini was immediately shocked, "Can't, what the fuck is you just leave why you have to ask me to buy your house" said Ms. Tini.

"Yes, but I also do not want to lose especially I have bought land and houses at a high price, and if I leave it alone. That will cause me financial losses and Mr RT and Mr RW, how do you respond? I am willing to leave if one of you who is afraid of being exposed to Azab by me and my son to buy my house and land at the initial price" said Vira who made the residents immediately speechless.

"Why silence? Aren't you the one who's the most outspoken, but why is it that when I talk about money you all shut up. And you should be thinking if you want to expel me, you should also think about the assets and treasures I have in this place. Don't just think about your ego and your nonsensical thoughts" Vira said.

"I don't have a husband and I have a child, but have you ever asked me why I have children but I'm not married?" ask Vira with teary eyes. "Even without asking the slightest question, you immediately conclude that I am cheap and even call me a comfort woman? And all those accusations are not true, do you think I'm not hurt?"

"Already Miss Vira," Mr. RT immediately calmed down Vira but Vira firmly rejected the persuasion of Mr. RT.

"Stop.. Don't tell me to stop, you're all discriminating against me for no apparent reason. You should have asked me before, why I became like this. Not even directly spread bad rumors about me, and you also as the head of RT. You should be able to mediate every problem and try to find a way out, but what do you do? Pas 3 days ago, you suddenly came to my house and immediately wanted to expel me without having any deliberation with me. Okay, I get it. I am a new person here, but I am also a citizen here. I always do my duty as a citizen but why don't I get the same rights as other citizens?" ask Vira who is already emotional.

Everyone in the village hall was immediately speechless with different faces and expressions.
