The Unacknowledged Seed
International Photo Competition

Mishel was preparing because soon the driver of her prospective family-in-law would come to pick her up. Today Mishel plans to be invited to meet a wedding planner who will take care of the wedding of Mishel and Marco. Although they have agreed if the wedding is held simple but Marco's parents want to give their best for their only son's wedding. So who will take care of the event even from professional people.

Tok to tok.

"Son, are you ready? Ayunda's mother's driver has arrived." Fira's mother knocked on her daughter's room.

"Yes, Mom." Mishel grabbed her little bag and then immediately came out. There was nothing special about her appearance, she only wore simple clothes but remained beautiful.

"Be careful, son," said Fira's mother.

"Yes Mom, I'm leaving now." Mishel kissed the back of her mother's hand before leaving.

Bu Fira drove his daughter until the car Mishel was riding in left his yard. She was grateful because the one who would become her daughter-in-law was a good person and received Mishel well. At least the fate of his daughter is much better than his fate and he hopes that one day the man who will become his daughter's husband can also change.

"Shhh ...." Fira's mother held onto the part of her chest that suddenly felt pain.

"Ehh Bu Fira, it's lucky that soon you want to have a rich person. Bu Fira's shot was really great. How the hell do I get Bu Fira's daughter to hook a conglomerate?" ask one of the neighbors of the house Bu Fira who has not been so fond of them. Indeed, almost everyone in the neighborhood did not like Bu Fira and his daughter. I don't know what makes them like that when all this time both Bu Fira and Mishel always try to be good neighbors.

"There is no question, it is clear how it can get pregnant first. She must have taught her daughter how to throw her body at a rich man. If you're pregnant don't want them to be responsible."

"It's also yes jeng, hopefully our daughters are not like that. It looks like a nice girl but it's just like a cheap woman!" They have nothing to stop disfiguring the family of Bu Fira. It won't stop before seeing Bu Fira and her daughter suffer. As if they were very happy if suffering approached them.

Bu Fira did not respond to their remarks, if first he might immediately defend himself but over time he felt tired of facing those who are endless looking for faults of others. As if he were the most holy man in the world.

Bu Fira chose to enter ie in his small house while holding his chest. His breath was stingy and painful. He went to the kitchen to get a drink.

...

Mishel looked unsettled as she sat inside the luxurious car. Although the seat is so comfortable, much more comfortable than the public vehicle seat that he often rides but in the car he was actually restless and not calm. Although he tried not to be afraid but still he was afraid if later at the home of his future father-in-law, he would meet the man. Because even now he still remembers clearly how when the man tore his crown.

Mishel tried to calm her mind by turning her attention to the scene outside the window. Even a little bit of fear does not diminish.

"Miss, we've arrived" said the driver who picked up Mishel, the three cars they were riding in, who arrived in front of Mr. Gerry's family residence.

Mishel who was daydreaming also gasped. He daydreamed until he did not realize that now he was in front of the big house.

"Yes sir, thank you." said Mishel who then took a deep breath before he finally opened the car door. He wished the man wasn't home right now.

Mishel's arrival was awaited by Ayunda's mother and her friend who will take care of her son's wedding. Since then the woman did not stop telling how her future daughter-in-law.

"Excuse me Madam, Miss Mishel is here." The butler delivered Mishel to them.

"Mishel .. here son." Ayunda's mother wakes up and embraces Mishel affectionately. "Sit down."

"Yes Mah" said Mishel, who still felt awkward about the call. He sat with them too.

"Yes Ca, she's my daughter-in-law. I'm lucky to get a son-in-law like Mishel."

Mishel smiled faintly, she felt ashamed and did not deserve to be proud because she was just a dirty woman who even got pregnant out of wedlock. He felt he was a sinner.

"I can also see that he looks very sincere and patient. I also agree, it looks like he's a perfect fit for your son." Ica had heard how the real behavior of the son of her friend.at first she also did not believe because her son was also friends with the son of Ayunda and all this time she had never heard anything bad about Marco. Until she is contacted Ayunda and she is shocked to hear Marco is getting married for impregnating a nice girl.

Ayunda's mother rubbed the back of Mishel's hand with a smile. He seemed to really hope for his son-in-law to return his son as usual.

The conversation continued and they chose a choice of wedding concepts.

"How son, do you like it? Or do you want something else, just tell me what your dream wedding is like?" ask Ayunda's mother.

"I like Mom's choice, this one's it." Mishel certainly did not dare to ask for more. He had never dreamed of a grand wedding like a fairyland before because it would never happen to him, as he thought it would.

"It's okay if you want another concept, son, just say yes. You're the one getting married and making your wedding day memorable."

"Yes Mah, I also like the choice of mama earlier," said Mishel, what was chosen by her prospective in-laws was indeed suitable with her taste that did not want to be excessive.

"Alright, alright. We choose this one. But later if you want something different just tell Mamah ya."

Mishel nodded. He then scanned every corner of the house, since he had not seen the man there. Indeed what he expected, the man was not even a little interested in their marriage.

As to what Mishel thought, Ayunda's mother explained that her son could not vote because there was an important meeting to be attended.

"Sorry son, Mamah will tell him to reduce his work so that he can focus on your marriage and of course be more able to pay attention to you and your future grandchildren."

"It's okay, Mah." It was precisely Mishel who was more relieved if there was no man there.

"Oh yeah, how old is she if Auntie can tell?"

"About five Aunty Weeks" replied Mishel.

"Waahh is a heavy period, aunty even to the point of not being able to go anywhere while pregnant. Nausea and vomiting if you smell something stinging."

"Oh yes Ca. Mishel is also nauseous and vomiting, son. His mother said she couldn't eat in the morning. Do you know how to handle it? I'm worried about the state of her mother and fetus. Look at him so skinny like this." Ayunda's mother rubbed Mishel's arm which felt very small.

"It's okay, it's the face during the first three months of pregnancy. The important thing is that you eat whatever you can eat. Keep trying to get something into the stomach for the growth of the fetus. The most important thing is not a lot of thought, attention from the people around, especially the father of our child. That will greatly affect the mood of pregnant women."

"True Ca, I used to be very spoiled on Marco's papa while pregnant. Don't want to be left out for long. Later I will tell Marco to pay more attention to you son. Mamah wants you to enjoy your pregnancy and be happy," said Ayunda's mother who now rubs Mishel's stomach is still flat.

Ah that's really unnecessary, Mishel felt like saying that but it wasn't nice to them.
