The Temptation of the Desire of the Stepchild
CHAPTER 56: THE MARRIAGE OF BETEL

Nita peeks at Rama in the kitchen cooking moringa leaves. He went to Papah's room. Sit on the edge of the bed and hug your arms. "Father, I'm getting married!"

Devan glanced to the left. Why did his daughter call marriage in a light tone. "My daughter, having a marriage has to learn a lot and it's not as easy as it looks. There are many problems to be faced along with a cold head, whereas those problems always burn the mind hot."

"Father, Atha wants to marry .... How come Papah's a lecture?"

"Remember the neighbor next door? Who never wants to accept our help? They think we are insulting them. Though the grandmother had been willing to accept help, but the grandfather even refused outright. Even when Grandpa went to the hospital. The grandmother asked for help from others, and the neighbors vilified us, even though they did not want to be helped."

"What does our neighbor have to do?"

"The grandfather was left by his first wife, after a fight yelling at each other until all the neighbors, Mr. RT gather, neighbors to be filled by their cries. Papah who became his neighbor was embarrassed himself."

"Well, what's Nita's relationship?" Nita releases a hug and gets on the bed. He pulled the jarit that rubbed Moses, because his son toy jarit to kegubet himself.

"You don't be like that. Must be picky."

"Nita already has a candidate, she's never angry with Nita." Nita frowned, ever when he headed Rama's motorcycle. Ah, why did he become a kangen Rama, even though it was one house together. "Nita has been bluffing anyway," said Nita with a dusty. "My heart is very good, if it's not the same, Nita better not marry."

"Not Rama, is it?" chirped Devan with origin, but his daughter nodded quickly. Devan was surprised until his back was back.

" By Rama, Pah ... " Nita squeezes the fingers in the lap. "He was very kind to Moses."

"Is it just because of that? Then you?"

"He understands Nita and is always there when Nita is down, he's like a superhero to Nita." Lena rubbed her eyes, whether tears fell from nowhere, why came all of a sudden. He remembered that Rama was holding him because he was desperate from his life because of the hatred of the perme*kosa that had made him pregnant and because of his ungodly papa. Nita's body is shivering violently.

Devan counts the clear dew droplets that pass through Nita's eyes. "Well, what about Nathan?" Devan finds Nita's tears falling as Nita shakes her head. "He's a hard worker and a responsible person."

"Rama's in charge, Papah." Nita closed her face to her shoulders and started sobbing. "Why Papa calls Brother Nathan. Papah adopted it. Emang Papah has the maksa Nita to like Nathan and forget Rama. Why not brother Nathan who became the son of Papah, let Papah not maksain Nita again, but maxain Kak Nathan aja. Nurbaya's age is over, I thought I was just reading it on the internet, Papa's question was also matchmaking me too."

Devan stroked his chest which hurt from Nita's cry. His eyes began to glaze over and blurred by the clear dew spreading in his eyes. She looks a lot like Clara, if she can't defend herself, she can only cry.

Rama bit the lower lip, why his hobby lately so peeking and eavesdropping. His chest jolted as Nita could also defend him silently. Rama returned to the kitchen and stared at the clear vegetable nanar of moringa leaves and raw terasi sambel with fried catfish.

How is mama. How is mama. What is papah news. Rama kangen's.

Rama suddenly felt powerless. He slept curled up on the cot and his tears melted past the nose. The smell of sambal terasi makes it even more painful because it remembers the made by Mama Intan. He glanced at the roof of the tile without ternit, and the yellow light. His hands clapped and scratched the feet that itched because of mosquitoes. "Mahh .... "

Rama's lips were bitter. How many days he hasn't smoked and it sucks moments like this. All of a sudden, all of his frustrations became one. Why does this feel so hard. Nobody cares about him like mom and dad.

⚓

Nita hugged papah tightly. "Thank you, Pah .... "

"Loh, but we'll see Sergey first."

"Om Sergey would agree, he's Papah's friend."

"It's not so, son. Papah is a close friend, Papah will not be polite to take people's children not bubbly."

"Repid .... Nita is already kebellet."

Devan shook Nita's forehead until the sound. The boy complained while stroking his forehead. "If there were no Sergey and Intania, there would be no Rama. Your time is not polite to your future in-laws."

"Well, this is just a series. Ah, officially they'll be." Nita with a voice like a child. If Sergey's permission, especially Intania certainly can not. Especially Intania ... Intania is Sergey's wife.

"Wait for Nathan."

"No way, surely Nathan's brother is forbidding. Kan Rama captive Brother."

"Yes, Papah will tell Nathan to."

"No, Papah." Nita sleeps on Papah's thigh and whines on Papah's thin stomach. His whimper began to screech until Moses patted the mother on the back. He felt Moses holding him from behind.

"No, look at Moses. She was confused by her mother. Not ashamed, eh?"

"Biarin, her mother is also human. I want to be fooled. Mom doesn't believe in Mama Clara's choice."

"It's quiet ah." Devan is dizzy because of Nita. She stroked her daughter's hair from front to back. A new clear thread fell from the golden eye, like the eye of Clara, which made it even more unbearable. Her daughter's five-inch pursed lips irritated her. "Yes, let Papa talk to Rama." Seeing the princess rise carefully, Moses immediately embraced the mother's stomach.

"So Rama cook .... We go back, yuk." Nita wiped her sticky cheeks with tears and immediately smiled meaningfully. His father just nodded. Nita helps papa move into a wheelchair. He took his son off the bed. Nita pushes the wheelchair and Moses follows her behind.

"Mas .... " Nita patted Rama's thigh. "Sleep inside."

Devan froze as Rama opened his eyes where they were red. He only realized Rama's gaze would be lonely. He glanced at the food. "It's delicious .... Atha should be cooking. Pamali's got a girl, who's tired of men."

"Mahs ... Kan Mas Rama who wants to cook. It's not Nita who asked for it." Nita defended herself. He glanced at Rama whose face was flat like never before.

"That's exactly what Atha said, Om. Rama is a hobby of cooking and I forbid Atha to the kitchen. You see, Rama thought Nita was tired of swimming let alone all day looking after Moses." Rama takes Lauk to Devan after Nita gets Rice.

"Father can't believe it anyway" muttered Nita as she sat Moses on the edge of the cot, she took off her mini-sandals and her son passed through the gap behind her and sat on Rama's cross-legged lap.

"Do you intend to marry my only daughter?" Devan felt his tongue itch and could not remain still.

Rama clearly responded with a moment of silence, Rama's eyelids shaking until the plate of shard he was holding was also trembling. He lowered his head and picked up the meat and pushed along the rice to his tiny lips. Moses loved to eat fish.

"Rama wants ... Yes, Rama wants to learn to wade through this life with Nita Athalia. Friends live in hard-to-please. If you allow it, Rama will find kyai for us to get married first so as not to be slanderous." Rama nodded in his own words. He remembered the words of the housekeeper's mother. "Rama wants to live the longest service, to pick up the angel of the world and together to seek the pleasure of Allah the Most Exalted in order to reach His Heaven."

Nita and Devan sat up and were still wide-eyed. Their hearts trembled because they were far from religion, hearing this it felt like they wanted to cry. It is as if they were reminded of the power of Almighty God..

"Wow." Nita kept on blinking and her lips trembled. Devan said nothing.

...----------------...

Rama was early in the morning, so little bright, pedaling happily to the house of Mbah Sopia. With the help of Mbah Sopia Rama went a half kilometer to Pak Kyai's house through the coffee plantation. He again shook Pak Kyai and the neighbors who were far away, had gathered in the role of the house, where the smell of cooking was very fragrant.

Mr. Kyai prepared at the table that had been arranged suddenly in the living room. Everyone who cooked stopped, and gathered filled the living room. Someone held a mat and sat in the foyer.

Nita keeps swallowing Saliva nervously. She borrowed a white veil from a neighbor and loaned makeup by a neighbor who was a red lipen.

Rama handed him a white gold necklace of 20 grams and did not count the diamonds on the head of the wolf pendulum. Finally, there is also a point in the necklace, fortunately W3be necklace continues to be used. Rama to borrow clothes koko and peci owned by Pak Kyai.

Devan sat with great difficulty on the floor with the help of the people. He also borrowed Koko's clothes from Pak Kyai. Devan shook Rama's hand and his tears could no longer be contained and fell into his lap.

Devan took a deep breath and felt Rama's hand tremble and get wet with sweat. Devan looked into deep blue eyes. "I marry you ananda Rama Abimas bin Sergey Aiman Abimasa with Nita Athalia bint Devano Wijaya with a dowry of jewelry weighing 20 grams because of Allah, paid in cash."

"I accept the marriage of Nita Athalia bint Devano Wijaya with the dowry paid in cash."

"Alhamdulillah" all Muslim guests gave thanks.

Nita's tears fell as she kissed the back of Rama's and Rama's hands, which kissed the tip of his head. He prayed in his heart that God would protect him from all evil things, especially the slander of the hereafter.

Rama still can't believe that until here everything is passed easily. Why is he now so afraid of losing Nita because of his papa. He also thinks about who Jefri is because Nita is now completely his, he is responsible for everything about his wife and Rama is ready to face the cruelty of public opinion. He wanted to take care of Marwah, the woman who is now his wife.

All the guests were invited by Rama to chat. Rama is happy to know the tradition here. Some even offered him a job.

Nita was still pensive and sitting next to Papah. He was terrified when Nathan came home and scolded him, lest Nathan cancel his plan to leave the country. Supposedly, he had calmed down because Rama was already his muhrim. Exiting the country is no problem.

All the guests have gone home. Papah has rest at 7pm. So Moses had slept because until this afternoon the guests were still filling the house. Nita had just finished cleaning and passed Rama in front of the bathroom. Nita immediately lowered her head with an overwhelming feeling of embarrassment.

Rama looked away, he could not breathe near Nita. "Excuse me." Rama politely passed by Nita and closed the door slowly. He stroked his leg chest as it made it past Nita.

After taking off all the clothes. Rama dipped water from a black round bucket and poured it on his head, repeatedly flushing in rapid motion. He couldn't stand it and wanted to throw away his embarrassment. However, the two buckets did not feel exhausted and he forgot the soap and shampoo.

Oh my God, Rama!!! How are you this reckless!

After wrapping the towel around his waist, Rama exits the zinc-walled bathroom and the wooden door with the bottom side weathered. He came out again from the simple kitchen and started pumping water.

Rama pushed the iron lever from top to bottom. Why not use Sanyo, modern times, he thought. He was so excited about having to take a super scented shower to impress his wife with the smell.

Nita walks into the kitchen and finds the kitchen door open. He was reflexively going to close the door, but the sound of iron squeaking took his attention. Nita looked for the origin of the sound, and she screamed and her heart nearly dislodged, then thumped.

Golden eyes widen to see the reflection of the person and when the person turns to god his eyes are no longer a virgin. Nita covered her face and peeked at who she was. Her husband .

Wkwkwkwk (Author wants to start)

Rama looked down and his towel had been trampled, he looked over at his innocent thigh. His eyes widened and immediately looked at the wife who was peering towards his maleness. Rama immediately closed the part between the quads using his hands. "Darling!! You see what?"
