WOUNDS OF FLOWERS (DUE TO PREGNANCY OUTSIDE MARRIAGE)
Chapters. XLIII Amarah Karlina

"Well, can I talk to you for a second?" nathan asked Bunga who was holding the sleeping Princess to lie in their room. The flower just nodded without saying a single word.

"What do you want to say? Hurry on! It was late, I did not feel good with the neighbors," said Bunga flat to make Nathan smile understandably.

"No, marry me! Let me take responsibility for you two. Let me make amends for all my mistakes and our lost time due to my past foolishness, you will!" nathan asked firmly and solemnly.

Hearing that, Bunga showed a cynical smile. In the past .. she had dreamed of becoming the wife of Nathan Wiryatama, but now .. that dream ran aground with all the pain she faced alone.

If a few years ago, he was still waiting for Nathan to come back, look for him, pick him up, then marry him, but now. There's too much to think about. If yesterday when Edgar offered him a marriage, he still fostered the hope of building a happy family, but now that hope seems to be lost. Is it possible that someone like him is acceptable? Never did he get any more humiliation. His family just didn't expect him, didn't care about him, let alone others. He was tired of dreaming. His only desire now is to raise the Princess and bestow happiness on her daughter.

"Married? Aren't you talking wrong?" cynical Flower while staring fixedly at Nathan who still continues to look at him.

"Yes, Nga, why? Is something wrong?"

"It's because I don't want to marry you. You think it's that easy to fix things after what you did and I went through? You think, with us getting married all the problems will be solved? No Nath. Won't do. I ... My heart is sick. It hurts so much, Nath. I am .. I am destroyed," said Bunga with tears. "When 6, 5, even 4 years ago I was still waiting for you, but now it's not. This heart, this trust, this love you just broke. You left without coming back and trying to find my whereabouts. Even when you left you didn't try to see me first. While you were there pursuing your ideals and having fun with your friends, then here I had to fight alone for the Princess and ... "

Flowers instantly silenced. He could not continue his words. His tongue was immediately confused. Lips vibrate. His tears flowed more and more when he remembered the body of the son who had stretched stiff and did not have time to breathe the air in the slightest.

The flower covered her face with both palms. He roared when the memory came back again to make the guilt rule the heart.

Hearing the words of the Flower that was suddenly cut off then the change in expression as well as the roar of Flowers made Nathan confused. His heart ached seeing such a flower. Is there anything left that he does not know. Butwhat? Whatisit?

"Daughter and what is Nga? You why? Why are you hysterical like this? Nga, please don't confuse me!" lirih Nathan while holding the shoulder of the Flower tried to calm him down.

"Mrs ... " Suddenly the Princess came and hugged the body of the Flower while crying. Flowers instantly flinched hearing the voice of the Princess. He wiped his tears violently with the back of his hand.

"Daughter why? How do you wake up crying?" ask Flowers with a hoarse voice accompanied by a sob.

"Mama, I met Princess. Says Brother .. Mama can't be sad anymore. Can't cry anymore. You have to be happy, said my brother. Mama why cry? A bad daughter, huh? Sorry Princess yes ma if Princess naughty. Mama don't cry anymore. Entar Abang do not want to see the Princess again if mama cry," said the Princess while hiccupping.

Deg ...

Benak Nathan wondered what the Princess meant by Abang.

"A-branch? Who's she?" nathan asked with a face full of signs.

"Abang Putra, his brother Putri," said the Princess in a severe voice because she was still sleepy.

"Abang Son? Brother Princess? Wh-who means? And ... where is he?" nathan asked with an increasingly curious look.

"Son ..he's the twin sister of the Princess. And he ... had left before he could look upon the beautiful world."

Gadarr ...

Nathan was struck by lightning when he heard that word. Nathan fell helplessly. Eyes glazed. Unknowingly, warm circles came down from his eye peluk. His son ... he had a son but he was gone. The greater Nathan's guilt and remorse. Unimagined, how the circumstances and feelings of the Flower at that time. Fighting themselves. Losing themselves.

Is it possible that he was able to treat the wounds of such a huge and deep Flower?

"Mom" called Mr. Broto to his dreamy wife while staring out the glass window of his room. While sitting in a wheelchair, his eyes glared at the sky that looked so dark that not a single star had decorated him.

Karlina was silent. She did not care about her husband, who was standing behind her.

"What the hell is it, ma'am? Still daydreaming that selfless kid?" cynical sir Broto.

Karlina then turned her wheelchair until they were now facing each other.

"The child doesn't know yourself? You need to remember, the child you call ignorant is your own biological child. Son of my brother. The child I raised with all my soul and body. The daughter you love so much. The child Lina fought for at the cost of her life. Even I was willing to leave my lover just for the sake of being able to take care of him wholeheartedly. Somehow the feeling mbak Lina if you know this is the attitude of her husband to the daughter he was born with difficulty. I'm sure, there Lina cried disappointed with your attitude and actions," sighed Karlina cynically with a growing sense of disappointment.

Flowers are not born Karlina from her womb like Kia. But rest assured, his love for Bunga is as great as his own biological child. Bunga is the daughter of his brother. His heart ached and it was broken to see the daughter of his sister being treated so unfairly.

"No need to lecture me, Karlina. What he experienced was appropriate for him to feel. Because of her Marlina died, you don't forget that fact," snapped Mr. Broto no matter if his wife was sick to realize the fact that even now the husband still loves his sister. Wanted to be angry, but what power. He couldn't say he was jealous. Everyone would laugh at him knowing he was jealous of someone who was gone.

"But you forgot one fact: life dies in the hands of God, not man. And every baby born is in a holy state without blemish let alone sin. So you can't blame Bunga for Lina's death" Karlina replied with a clenched hand. "You and Bayu are both selfish, you know. May you not regret it in the future, "sissed Karlina again, wiping her tears violently with the back of her hand.

Mr. Broto is tight-lipped. Even until Karlina passed, she was still in her place. Unbeknownst to them, a young man listened to the quarrel from behind the door that was not tightly closed.

Eyes closed. There was a sense of tightness as the Princess' face flashed in her mind. Especially when the words of the Princess again ring in his ears.

'Mom, has my attitude been so outrageous?' he softly while gripping his chest that feels pain.
