The Unacknowledged Seed
Guns for eating, sir

That afternoon under the scorching sun Marco and his parents went to Mishel's house after the morning gave them news. They left with one car and one car in the back carrying luggage that would be given to Mishel. Gerry and his wife are happy because eventually the son will get married despite this way. Maybe this is God's way of not playing with women anymore, so that he repents and gets better.

Even though Marco still can not accept the reality. Committing to someone is not in her plans because she is still disappointed with being called a woman.

"Marco, remember there you can't say anything hurtful to them. You are wrong here not them, if they do not come to the house and meet Mamah surely you will continue to do bad deeds," Ayunda told her son.  He was worried that later there his son was making trouble that might hurt his future son-in-law. From the story of the husband who had investigated about their origins and life, Ayunda so know how they had been living without a male figure. Then yesterday when their neighborhood found out that Mishel was pregnant, they got their insults back from people.

"Yes Mah." Marco looked at the streets before his eyes. See where the car is going.

The car they were riding in got into the narrow road to get to Mishel's house. After asking people a few times they finally found the house.

Not much different from Marco, Mishel was actually hesitant to accept the responsibility of the man. Somehow it will be in the future because they married by force. Mishel thought about it all night, whether his decision was correct.  Married to the man, considering the father of his fetus would not seem to accept them. He also asked his mother for her opinion.

"Mom, can I just cancel. Don't ask her to marry me, I'm afraid Mom. Moms and fathers who marry for love alone can be separated. How will he and I be" Mishel told her mother that night. He wanted to completely solidify his heart, unwilling to regret behind. Yesterday he did agree to hold her accountable for being pressed by circumstances. She had no other choice because she did not want herself and her mother to be expelled from her own home.

Bu Fira rubbed his daughter's head in love. He understood that his daughter might be scared because she saw her mother's experience. As a mother she was also worried about the same thing but she had already felt for herself how to live without a husband, it felt really heavy not to mention the scorn from people.

"Mom understands if you're afraid son but you need to know if not everyone is the same fate. Some get married out of love but in the end they can love each other because they get used to being together. Some marry for love just as mothers also live happily. The life path of that person is different, it cannot be equated." Bu Fira still rubbed his daughter's head. The daughter who had suffered since childhood, never once received affection from her father even though the man was still alive and happy with his rich wife.

"Nope ...." Bu Fira's eyes glazed over when remembering their difficult times. Where is little Mishel who often asks his father and becomes the subject of ridicule of his friends. As well as her who had to fight hard to slam the bones to finance their lives. It's not easy, there are a lot of tears that have been wasted to get through it.

"Why are you crying?Did I make mom sad?" mishel asked as he shook off the clear liquid flowing down the mother's cheek.

Mother Fira hurriedly put a smile on her lips. No need to remember what happened.

"Mom's okay, son."

"Sorry Mom, I didn't mean to make you sad. Ii'm sorry. Don't be sad anymore, it's all over" Mishel said, strengthening her mother.

"You shouldn't apologize to your mother. It is precisely the mother who must apologize because mother has brought you life in suffering."

"It's not because of mom but because of that man who left us. Don't think that way anymore." They both cried out their feelings. Hugging and strengthening each other, all has happened there is nothing to regret. Mishel loved her mother more than anything, she witnessed for herself how she struggled.

"Sorry, I made you sad. Oh yeah, I think you better give the man a chance to account for his actions. At least give your child a clear status so that he does not become a material for the people around him later. Let him also get the love of his father," said Mother Fira gave understanding. He just didn't want his granddaughter to also not feel the affection from his father.

"But ma'am, what if he doesn't expect us. Do I have to stay in a marriage like that."

"You just need to be a little patient. Do your job as a wife well and give her attention. I'm sure for a long time she'll accept you and she can't possibly not want her own child" she said.

"But if you decide not to get married. I will also support you. I'll take good care of her with you." Fira's mother rubbed Mishel's stomach which is still flat to this day because the fetus is still very small.

After talking about it with his mother Mishel thought about it. He should not be selfish thinking about himself, right his mother said if his son needed the affection of his biological father. He also did not want to drag his mother to live in humiliation anymore.

This afternoon Mishel was ready, wearing neat and polite clothes to welcome the father's family from his son. Simple food was prepared by Fira's mother enthusiastically. He was happy because as he saw the future in-laws his daughter was a good person. At least that was enough to make him feel relieved.

The sound of a car stops in front of the small house that Mishel and her mother live in. The car had to park on the street because the yard was small enough to hold it.

Marco scrunched his forehead as he looked at the small, shabby house he said belonged to the girl. Of the many women why he had to marry the poor woman.
