The Village And The Army
Travelling Lightning


When the shop was no longer crowded, now Nina wiped her tears. He looked at Kevin and Bu Sekar alternately. Sad very sad to see Nina resisting embarrassment when opening her own disgrace.


"I'm a wife of the man who cheated on my family. I was pregnant and that's why my family wanted to kill me in the woods that night. I'm a despicable woman, sir. You don't deserve to marry a woman like me. I am currently pregnant with my husband's child." Nina no longer wanted to care about whatever the response of this child and mother to her.


At least when all was exposed Nina felt relieved not to have to cover everything from them. Nina resigned if she had to be kicked out of the house right now. He realized that he was a woman who had an unclear status.


"Where is that guy right now?" Now Kevin who was silent from earlier seemed to think. If he does not marry Nina then the man must take responsibility for Nina and her child.


Nina shook her head. He recounted the events from the beginning before the wedding. Where the man came with his parents. Nina was forced to marry by the Nina family. Even if she refuses the marriage still takes place with threats from her father if Nina refuses then they will throw Nina out of their family.


Until there was an act of murder that the family wanted to do to Nina that night because she did not want to abort her womb. Miris, of course, sounds like an unreasonable thing. Sekar and Kevin feel that Nina's life story is like a doll that must be ready to follow whatever the orders of the father. Not because of affection, but because ambition wants to be respected by all villagers.


"I realized I was an embarrassing woman. Before I leave I want to thank Mr. Kevin and Ms. Sekar. You guys are very nice people. You deserve a good man."  After saying that Nina stepped away. Without daring to ask for his salary which he had saved with Bu Sekar.


Nina cried all the way somewhere she had to take shelter again. Luckily, the night sky looks starry. Which means no rain wants to fall. And he can find a bed on the side of the road without fear of getting wet.


While at the flower shop owned by Sekar, the two seemed to sit in silence. Kevin looked at the flower in front of him. Flowers that are still sturdy in place look beautiful even though there are some petals that have fallen.


"Vin, Nina's a good woman. I'm very sure of that." said Sekar in a weak voice. Not as enthusiastic as usually talking to the child.


Kevin looked at his mother for a moment. "Mother agrees? If you agree no matter what happens I will still choose it." said Kevin again.


Seemingly staring at the child. His heart was heavy to accept Nina who had never been married to such a good child. However, back again the fate of someone no one wants to happen bad things like Nina.


"What about his family?" lirih Sekar asked the child.


Hearing the story of Kevin and Nina who said if the family of the woman like people does not have feelings, it really makes Sekar afraid. He could imagine when the family knew Kevin was a man who wanted to marry Nina and accept the fetus in Nina's stomach, surely they would not hesitate to kill the child's life.


"Mom, don't think about anything else. What is important is whether you agree or not? I can handle everything easily. I used to deal with people who were even skilled at shooting and slashing human heads, Mom." Kevin seemed to melt the tense atmosphere.


"Mother wait here huh? I'll catch up with Nina and we go home together. Remember, you can't open the door before I call." Amid the panic of realizing Nina had gone far, Kevin still had time to warn the mother not to go home first.


At night like this Kevin does not want if something happens to his beloved mother. Sekar also smiled to see the departure of the child to find his woman.


"Thank you, Dad, leave your most precious treasure to you. Our son grew up to be such an adult. He's a child that has no lack for Mom. Thank you, I gave you the sun in your life before you left quietly..." Just swiping a photo on his desk. The middle-aged man in the same uniform as Kevin. Very handsome and Sekar is always happy to see the child wearing his pride uniform that is reminiscent of the figure of the husband.


The sadness that gradually disappeared only changed the longing for Sekar. She misses her husband very much. Missed his attention every time he was gone. When the husband came home from duty, he always accompanied Sekar wherever as if changing the time that had passed during his departure.


On the other side of the road, Nina was sitting limp when she felt her stomach was hungry. Even though he had eaten this afternoon he now felt his stomach again asking to be filled. Sitting on the cardboard, he curled up holding the stomach that kept ringing in there.


"Two times go no money at all. Nina Nina, a great hobby well you are hungry to get sick gini? Patience with dedek. Let's go to sleep first. Tomorrow we work to make money." Nina was eager to drill down the road to make money working whatever it was. However, when considering his body is two-bodied Nina does not want to make her fetus why. He'll choose to rest tonight and wake up tomorrow morning.


From the direction of the street across there, Nina did not realize that there was a pair of eyes staring at her at the moment while shaking her head.


"This boy loves to sleep on the side of the road." he grumbled and got out of the car.


Having met Nina with circumstances like this makes Kevin not difficult to find the whereabouts of the woman. He went down and stepped towards Nina who was lying hugging her own body next to her hand holding her stomach.


"Eh..what is this?" Nina jumped in shock when both her legs were tied with rope and her hands tied as well.


"Sir Kevin?" Nina looked at the face of the handsome man she had just rejected.


"Where did you run? Swiping my jacket, I have to go to jail" said Kevin, who made Nina's surroundings come back regardless. Previously they panicked to see Nina who seemed like she wanted to be kidnapped.


Nina was shocked to hear Kevin say. He asked for help but no one wanted to help him. Even now his body is carried by Kevin across the crowded streets and put Nina's body into his car.
