THE STAIN OF THE PAST
Chapter 32. Two Choices from Papa

"Who is the man who has impregnated you" cried Papa.

Fani squeezes her hands eliminating nervousness and fear. He's not ready to face Papa on this issue.

"Pa, don't be emotional. Fani must be scared to see Papa's anger," said Mama.

Dad ignored my mother's words. Approaching Fani. Without Mama or Fani guessing, Papa slapped his daughter in the cheek. Hard enough Papa's hand stuck to his son's cheek so that fresh blood flowed from the corner of his lips.

Mama who saw that approached Fani and hugged her. Mama doesn't want Papa to do the same thing a second time. Mama wiped the blood that was flowing.

"Father! What's Papa doing? Why slap Fani?!" ask Mama sobbing. She could feel the pain her daughter was feeling.

"Why can you do such a stupid thing? If you can't stand wanting to have a relationship, you just have to ask to be married! Not doing anything stupid like this!" scream Papa.

Stefani looked at her angry Papa. Instead of being scared like that, this time Fani stared with eyes glaring at her parents.

"What does Papa want? I am stupid and stupid. I never wanted any of this to happen either. I know all this because of my fault. But I also need your support right now. I'm like this because of you!" said Fani. Cry broke.

"You're embarrassing us. What if Papa's business partner finds out you're pregnant out of wedlock. You who can't take care of yourself, why blame us? What support do you want! Justifying your behavior?" ask Papa.

"You're just busy with yourself without knowing and asking what I want. I need what. If only I could choose! Who you want to be and do what. I will choose not to be born. I don't want to live life without clarity and don't want to be a burden to anyone I know. Especially the burden on my parents. Have you ever asked why I don't eat, why I don't go home, why I am, why I am. You selfish parents. Just think of each other's pleasures."

Papa looked increasingly angry to hear Fani's words. Unlike her husband, Mama followed her crying hearing her daughter's words. I feel guilty about what happened to my son right now. All because of his fault also who never give attention again.

"It's so great of you! The mistake you made, you've pinned it on us. Do you ever think that everything a parent does is for his child! They do not want to see their children live a life of deprivation to work hard not knowing the time just to meet the needs of their children!" papa said with a shout.

Adit who had reached home just stood mamatung hear the quarrel of his sister and papa. Both stand if they are the most right. Either Papa or Fani feels right and becomes a victim.

"Alright, Pa! There is no point in defending each other and blaming each other. Everything is wrong and there is a point. We better find a way out of what happened to Fani," said Mama.

"Tell me who your son's father is! Or do you not know who the father is?" ask Papa.

"Pa, what are you saying! It's the same you accuse our son of sleeping with a lot of men!" say Mama.

Adit stood beside Papa, staring pusher at Fani. Seeking the truth for his friend. Adit wants to prove that it's just Alex's bullshit.

"What's the truth Alex said, if you didn't just sleep with her?" ask Adit.

Adit's question made both his parents shocked. But Papa said that just because of annoyance. It never comes to mind if it is true.

Fani was silent. What Adit said is not true. She had only slept with Alex and one other man who had usurped her chastity first. It was also drunk.

Alex accused him of sleeping with many men because when he was with her Fani was no longer a virgin. Alex summed it all up by accusing him of sleeping with another man.

Fani knows and believes this is Alex's son. However, he could not ask for responsibility because the man did not believe it. Alex has always only considered himself a bed partner no more. If even proven from the results of this DNA test his flesh and blood, Alex only wants to provide instead of marrying him.

"Say it's all a lie, son! You're not what Papa and brother said! You know who your son's father is, right?" ask Mama with a sob.

Fani just kept quiet without answering anything. He doesn't know what to say. If he says no, and Alex sends a photographic evidence he's with another man, what? Alex has a photo of Fani with her boyfriend in high school. The first man to sleep with her.

"Tell me right or not what Alex said!" yell Adit.

Getting pressure from any brother Papa makes Fani more dizzy. What else to remember if Alex is not willing to take responsibility. It's free for her to say that if it's Alex's son, the man still won't marry her.

"I don't know!" answer Fani.

"How could you not know what you're doing. You must know any man you've ever slept with!" adit.

Papa approached Fani and pulled his hand firmly down from the bed. After that, Papa slammed onto the floor. Mama who saw her daughter was treated harshly, immediately shouted and hugged Fani.

"Already, Pa. Give Fani a thought. Don't push it like this. He needs the support of all of us. Not judging the mistakes he had made!" say Mama.

"You can choose. Raised that baby and disappeared from our lives forever. I'll send you out of the country where no one recognizes you. Or you can stay with us on the condition that you remove your contents!" said Papa.
