When Passion Is Greater Than Lust
The karma ?

Dadang stared flat at the mango tree in front of his house, Midwife Mira's explanation about the child Sandra who had had enough months, making him go straight home in a hurry. It was pretty obvious to her that Sandra had fooled her. It had been here long enough, but he seemed reluctant to enter, even though his stomach had been screaming for fill.

He did not care also when the neighbors, which in fact mothers are now whispering while staring at him. I don't know when they've been huddling there. But he knew that gossip would spread quickly. So he tried to be indifferent, even though his mind was now filled with resentment, anger, disappointment and disbelief if the woman who is now his wife was really worth Mines in everything.

" Dang !! Is Sandra giving birth ?"

Lastri's voice distracts Dadang, so unfocused Dadang, he does not even realize if Mom has been standing right in front of him .

" Yes, Mom..!!!" Dadang answered lethargic, mother's question reminded him of the words of midwife Mira again, which now seemed to be played like a tangled cassette in his brain memory.

" Continue, where is your wife now Dang ? why are you relaxing here ? Your child is born, girl or boy..?"

Lastri flocked Dadang with many questions and also a curious face. Despite feeling a bit strange, he instead found the son sitting dreamy on the terrace like this.

" I don't know, Mom..

I'm confused how to behave. .!!" Those eyes looked at Mom with a grievous smile

"We've only known not even eight months, Mom !! Masa, Sandra has given birth so soon ? how can I not be surprised ? Honestly, I was thinking maybe it wasn't my son Mak !!"

Lastri gasped, He looked at Dadang with adhesiveness "why do you doubt it Dang, many people give birth at seven months gestation, meaning your child was born prematurely Dang !! Do not be prejudiced with Sandra, pity her if she feels depressed by your absence beside her, when she struggles to give birth to your child, especially if this speech reaches her ears !!"

" the child was born quite a month, Mother ! which means it should have been born already..!!" Dadang almost screamed in front of Mom. It was hard for him to hold back his emotions, and make his eyes now reddened, between anger and disappointment. He really felt that his pride was always being played by Sandra, but he was determined to accept Sandra whatever her attitude and behavior. But if it's this bad, isn't it very inappropriate for him as a man, covering up the disgrace of a woman he never knew her origin ?

Lastri who had been standing at home was now sitting limp, he looked at Dadang with concern. It seems that this eldest son really has been hit by Karma because it has disappointed and hurt Siti. His first wife,

" So the point is you're not going to pick up Sandra and the baby ?

What people say Dang !!"

" I'm immune to other people's stories, Mom. And of course now they're making fun of me, for being fooled by a woman like Sandra. If your son was known to be a cruel man, then now I will be remembered as an idiot, and a fool for not knowing the woman I married had been pregnant with another man.." Speech at length, eyes that are usually cold and always show an aura of anger are now even covered with black fog full of regret, is he qualified because he once refused and regretted the pregnancy Siti ?

" But Fatma's there, isn't Dang ? And he knows about this ?" Although understanding the feelings of Dadang, but still Mother worried, if Sandra was really alone during childbirth. She knew how scared and painful contractions were during childbirth, let alone this was also Sandra's first child.

" There is Mak. I've also paid for the delivery, but to see Sandra and her son now !! I'm not ready yet. I hope you don't insist and appreciate all the decisions I've made now.!!"

Something that never existed in the image of Lastri, because in the past, Dadang was always treated like a King by Siti.

But now, all the positive things that exist in the figure of Siti even like contrary to the attitude and nature of Sandra.

***

It was late in the afternoon, but there was no sign that Dadang would pick up his wife. This makes Fatma took the initiative to bring her bangkanan and grandchildren home first to her house and later they will talk about this to Dadang.

While Sandra had always let out her tears in silence. Although it had been persuaded by Fatma and also the midwife of Mira, but apparently the young woman was feeling disappointed and deep wounds, whether because the dagger was already known, but apparently the young woman was, or because he felt that he had actually been on a path that he thought was right.

" sand.. You go home to Auntie's house !! It seems like Dadang still needs time to accept this reality. Aunty won't force you to tell me the beginning of this ? But, Do not be stubborn for now, but we both know exactly if Dadang will not be able to pick you up today, here !!! "

Sandra nodded, agreeing with the Aunt's invitation. He never thought about this ? He thought his life would be easy after all the bitter stories of the past that seemed like they would never go away..

"I'm sorry Sandra Tan.. Sorry !!!"

Now Sandra was really sobbing for him now all her beautiful dreams seemed to have ended. What foolish man would accept a woman who is already pregnant by another man.

He should be aware of it, not even more lying to Dadang and married the man.

Fatma doesn't want to hear anything now, the important thing is that her grandson now has to go home first. However and no matter how big of a mistake Sandra, this beautiful baby does not know anything and does not deserve to be involved and blamed.

"Climate yourself, San !! Don't be too heavy-minded for now, just think about yourself and your baby. About your problems. Let it be Aunt's business..."

Sandra hugged Fatma, She actually knew that something like this would happen, But her selfish nature and love for Dadang, made her lie to the man to the point where the Man was fed up and filled with anger.

" I'm sincere if bang Dadang divorces me Tan. But, don't force me to tell you who the father of this child is. I've struggled at this stage with great difficulty, so let me live my life with my daughter, even without a companion figure and also a male figure that Father can call her !!..."

Sandra looked at her baby with teary eyes. He is bored and can always find reasons for his misbehavior and behavior.

She is a mother, now !! If he used to be selfish for himself, then he would be selfish for the princess, starting today and this very second .
