Again, the Saints just smiled. "One more," said the Holy One, "Indie wants to get married, Ma. Can, huh?"
That was when my mother-in-law's joy died down. He turned to Indie who was sitting at the end of the sofa. The girl broke out in cold sweat and her face turned deathly pale. "You're still young, honey. You better finish your college. Don't rush to get married."
Okay, this is clearly predicted to happen. It will not be possible to walk smoothly.
"Ma," said the Saint again, "there is a man who intends to be responsible for marrying Indie. He has good intentions, and Indie should get married so that someone will take care of him. He can continue his education."
The mother shook her head. "But he's too young. It's only eighteen years old. What a-"
Suddenly Indie slumped to the floor, crying as she pleased. "Restui Indie, Ma," he quipped. "Indie's been trying to be a good boy. But...."
"Indie would be a better person by getting married, Ma" Suci said.
Indie nodded. "This marriage will improve Indie's life, Ma. The past and future of Indie. This guy won't mind Indie's past. Indie...."
"He who?"
Indie. "Mas Billy."
"Billy...? Billy's Rangga's assistant?" He looked towards me.
I'm nodding. "Yes" I said.
Then he cleared his throat. "Mama agrees, but. If you can, ask her to wait until you-"
"Ma, this is for the good of Indie," cut Suci.
"Please, Ma. Indie please...."
"Son, you don't have to worry about your past. Mama's sure, someday there'll be a nice guy who wants-"
The deg!
Even I was horrified and felt my heart beating. How'this?
"For what? Indie Goods? Mama knows, Mama understands what you mean. But I...."
Indie snuggled and slumped to the floor kissing her mother's feet. "Indie is sorry...."
"Darling? What's the matter, son?" He began to worry and felt something was wrong.
Quickly, the Saint who had been crying immediately hugged him. "Allow, Ma," he whispered. "Please...."
"You guys covered up something? Doesn't Mom know?"
The saint hugged him tighter. "Calm down, Mama? Relax, okay? Mama can? The Saints will explain."
Mother nodded.
"There's a bad thing, but it would be a good thing if we accepted it, if we opened our eyes and looked at it from the positive side. What matters is Indie, and we're with him. Right, right, Ma?"
With tears in my eyes, my mother-in-law shook her head. Yeah, which mother does not hurt to know the baby is stained, especially until pregnant out of wedlock. Although he had not heard that statement, he could already guess it.
While Indie was still as unwilling as she was on the floor, the mother stroked her head. "What's going on, son?"
"Mama will have a granddaughter from Indie" my wife said. "Mama wouldn't let Indie abort that fetus, would she? Accompany him, Ma. Holy please...."
Although a little long and experiencing tremendous sadness, he finally chose to understand and make peace with reality. He chooses to forgive the child, bless and embrace it. There was a little relief in the hearts we all saw: she was a mother figure who was already stronger than before.
Well, what we were afraid of, didn't come true. And I'm grateful, it's in line with what we expected.
