YOUNG WIFE TO 4
42. SON VS STEPFATHER

Devon waits for his mother Shinta who is now in hospital. Shinta was asleep after being given medication by the doctor who treated her.

Shinta is already sick\_sick after giving birth to her daughter Cynthia, Fruit of her love with Krishna. His womb was raised so he could not have any more children. And at the end of this, his health condition deteriorated even more after his in-laws decided to divorce him. It is stressful . Even now the pain of cancer in his pain is even stage 4.

" Mama..." Devon calls his Mama as Shinta starts to open her eyes.

" Devon, Cynthia." said Shinta calling her two children who were patiently waiting for her.

" Where are you? "

" Papa again went to see the doctor...Consultation for the treatment of Mama " replied Devon. " Mama how...which one hurts?.. Or is Mama going to eat? " ask Devon again.

Shinta just smiled at the attention of her eldest son. He felt happy to have a child who was very caring and affectionate to him.

" I'm a bribe, Ma...a little bit .. yes?..." Shinta nodded.

Devon feeds her Mama painstakingly. Only a few spoons later Shinta was no longer willing to eat.

" lady...Mama remembers not my boyfriend Nova's..." Devon began to talk to his mother to distract his mother from the pain she was suffering from. " I'm better with him . but I'm surprised...He and Papa know each other?" ask Devon again.

" It looks like Mama should tell you?..."

" What is Ma?" ask Devon.

" You remember not when Mama was angry with your Papa because he was asked to marry again by Grandpa and Grandma with a village girl ?"

" Certainly ...Papa was very confused because Mama was angry at that time." replied Devon. " Papa said ogah\_ogahan married the village girl who was very young...But said Papa's grandfather had to marry her because the girl's family had debts to the grandfather..."

" The girl is Nova "

" What?" krisna asked in shock.

" The girl who was also forced to marry your Papa is Ya Nova your boyfriend...."

Devon was so shocked. He was wide open . He really did not think if his girlfriend turned out to be his 4th young Papa wife.

" Him ..my stepmother ?" ask Devon in disbelief. Finally answered already all the awkwardness that had been in his mind .Why did he ever see his Papa's car at Nova's house. And when the case of Nova n Helsi was in an uproar, he saw his father and his assistant were also at his school.

Also why Nova lives alone away from her parents. Of course because a married woman must follow her husband.

.

.

So Nova's my papa's wife ? She's Papa's young wife?

.

.

" So when Mama says she's not a sugar baby, does that mean this?..Not Baby sugar but Papa's wife? " Devon was right in shock. " That can't be Ma...Nova good girl good....He just tried to get his freedom even to do a lot of part time..." Devon finds it hard to accept the fact that his girlfriend is his father's wife.

" The agreement between him and your father is 3 years away. It's been almost 1 year so it's still 2 years left she'll be your Papa's real wife" explains Shinta.

" 2 more years?.... Wait ma ... so that time.... when we accidentally met you guys at that time ..you were overreacting because Mama met Papa's young wife? "

" Yes...."

" But Nova said she wanted to pay her debt to get her freedom .. So that means the Nova family owes Papa? She worked so hard to be free of Papa?"

Shinta nodded. " But now it's different, your Grandpa and your grandmother support your Papa with Nova and they want to make Nova your only wife . And it looks like, your Papa is also in love with her...It's hard if you want to snatch him from your Papa .."

Devon and Shinta were silent. Krishna approached the two and sat down on the edge of the bed

" Let go of Nova Pa." said Devon later. Krishna was silent while looking at his son.

" Papa has a lot of wives, let go of Nova for me...I love him." said Devon.

" Beating a little for your son Mas." said Shinta anyway. He supports Devon because Devon is Nova's lover. And they are just as young. Nova is better suited to Devon than Krisna is her father's age.

Krishna did not answer a word. He was pressed by the request of his wife and stepson even though his heart was very heavy to take off Nova.

Because deep down in her heart, she loves Nova. More than all his wives . He felt really hard to take off his wife especially if he had to accept him back as his son-in-law later.

" Mr Krishna... Release Nova.please Mas.." pinta Shinta begs.

" Do you know who Nova is? " ask Krishna then at Devon.

" Yes." replied Devon.

" Then you know who he is..She is my wife . " explained Krishna

" But he's my lover ... " Devon won't lose either.

Krishna smiled knotingly. " Boyfriend and Husband.stronger who is his position .... Even though it is only a serial marriage, marriage is still a marriage...A sacred bond that is valid in the eyes of God.."

" He married Papa to pay the debt to Papa .. Now tell me, how much Nova owes, I will redeem him with my Papa's estate .." Devon insists on getting Nova despite having to make up for it from Papa .

" Your Father's treasure will not be able to afford a holy marriage...I won't let go of Nova because Nova is my wife. Whether she gets married because she has to or not, Nova is my responsibility to the world and the hereafter. I will not let go of what God has made mine. You or no one can take him away from me... " Krishna also did not want to give up even though it was on her own stepson .

" But Nova loves me." said Devon stubbornly.

" uh...Ask Nova who she loves." said Krisna cynically.

Devon is upset that Krishna insists on not letting go of Nova. He really likes Nova. And his stressed-out words seemed to show him that his Papa was so sure that Nova loved him

" If Nova chooses me, will Papa take it off ? " ask Devon.

" You're still Devon School...You're dating Nova most end up with a breakup .. Focus on learning. Later after graduation and new work you can find a partner. But all your life depends on me don't try to take away what's already mine" Krishna said. Krisna really insists on defending Nova.

" Is Papa afraid of losing to compete with me?" ask Devon.

' D e g '

" C i h. You're too confident Devon...All right Devon, I'll give you one chance. Ask Nova, if she chooses you ..not me, I'll take it off for you..I'll divorce her and marry her to you "Krishna accepts Devon's challenge.

.

.

compete younger, more handsome, stronger, physically okay, posture okay, brain smart and good boy anyway...

obviously I lost everything. ...

I'm no match for Devon.

But I'm pretty sure Nova has feelings for me ..

.

.

" Okay Pa. Just look later who will be chosen by Nova...Me or Papa "said Devon later.
