At the End of a Lovely Marriage
Laurent Pasrah

Today was exactly one month passed after the fateful incident that night. And for the third time, Laurent cried prostrate on both legs of the elegant looking middle-aged woman.

“You must marry my son! You made my son like that. Look at his eyes, feet, and hands he can't function anymore. You're Laurent, you're his girlfriend. Marry now or will I sue you and your family?”

Under the hospital floor, Laurent shook his head while crying? Married said? How could Laurent not have even finished his school. He was not ready to build a household even though he loved Raul first.

“Tante, please don't do that. That night I had no idea. I just came to help Raul alone, Aunt.” both feet with high heels in full reach of requests.

“Tomorrow, you guys are getting married. I don't want to know. Raul needs you to take care of him. And remember! Laurent, you take full responsibility for my son. My son has no future, nor should you experience.” The haughty woman named Rose threw Laurent's hands and rushed away from there.

That morning the doctor had stated, if Raul can go home and do road treatment. Of course it's a happy thing and sad news for the family and Laurent.

“Heart weak. It's impossible if they threaten Dad. Why does it have to be like this? Why should I be a suspect? Even the cctv I've given, but they still don't accept.” Laurent looked down sad.

The only person she can share this grief with is Amanda. Well, the mother-status woman will definitely give good advice for her and for everyone.

The school uniform attached to Laurent's body this time still he wears. I left the hospital after visiting and taking care of my ex. Then he decided to go home.

On the way, Laurent kept shedding tears. Will he have to abandon all ideals and choose to devote himself to a man named Raul? How he had to deal with this in his parents.

The cries continued to accompany the afternoon trip in an online taxi. No matter what the driver responded, for Laurent he was really in a dead end and just resigned.

“Sorry, Non. It's up.” The driver immediately disperse Laurent's daydream. He wiped the tears quickly, gave the fare and then immediately got out of the taxi.

Both of his eyes were staring at the pushy scenery of his heart.

There, two chairs became a seat for both parents. Really, they seem very happy.

“Tuh, Mom. Brother has gone home. Though the clock back from school was already loh.” Lina screamed on the porch when she just finished cleaning her nails on the porch. Complete with a mask wrapped in his tiny face.

“Laurent,” call Pradana staring at the child's red face at the tip of the nose and swollen eyelids.

Laurent was silent for a moment, his eyes even started to condense again.

“Daddy...here first yeah? Let me take Laurent in. Daddy take it easy.” said Amanda meekly.

During this time the communication is both quite good, and it makes Pradana very confident in the role of the wife in her child.

“Come, Mother help bring our bags.” Amanda clasped Laurent's shoulders.

No answer was heard, Laurent was silent only a thousand languages, stepped into the house with his mother.

“Ehem..Mom, The older sister came home late. Is there no intention to be in nasehatin like I usually?” cibir Lina with a cynical smile.

The cries and tight hugs instantly made Amanda very surprised. Not only arrived at the room, Laurent had hugged and sobbed in the arms of the stepmother. His heart was confused, he was unprepared for all this.

Guilt for the father, pressure from Raul's family. It really made him really unable to breathe freely at this moment.

“Nak, what's up? What the hell's going on? Tell Mom? What made you come to this?” ask Amanda who tried to break Laurent's embrace.

Laurent kept holding her tight. He has not been able to speak, after a month of feeling the pressure he continues to get. Today, the time he feared happened.

“Mother...” her tears are flowing.

The waiter who happened to pass by wanted to give her a glass of water, prevented by Amanda and asked her to leave immediately.

Arriving in the room, Amanda sat the child on the edge of the bed.

And at that moment, Laurent seemed to wipe away the tears. Take a deep breath and exhale it.

“Bu...” All the series of events a month ago he told me without lagging behind a single one. To this day, a request from Raul's family requires him to do nothing more.

Amanda did not expect that the family of the man she had known was that hard. “This is very appropriate if you are talking about a family. But, your father is very vulnerable to heart disease, Lau. If you come begging them, you know the answer. They'll look down on Mom. Even if you come, they will be the same. Unless this is related to the lawyer.” Long-term Amanda explains how her role as a home-based woman who does not know much about the outside world.

It was certain that Raul's family would look him one eye.

“Laurent doesn't want Mom and Dad involved. Because it could be a threat to Dad's company, too, Mom. Laurent doesn't want Daddy to bother thinking about the company Laurent made, Mom.”

The two hugged each other crying together. “This is what I want, Lau. You, Lina and you should be educated. So that everything can be done by yourself, without a man. It's not a woman like Mom who doesn't understand the outside world. But how can that happen if you've been forced by them to get married at this young age?” On her swab gently the long hair of the child connect it.

“Laurent is afraid, Dad would be angry if he knew Laurent chose to drop out of school later to get married, Mom? Laurent could not see the disappointment of Father.” he said so long looking forward.

There will be many storms that he has to face when making this decision.

“Mother will continue to support you, Son. I will pray for you no matter what. I really feel this pain, Lau. You are a child not born of the mother's womb. But you really are a child that I love very much. You're a good boy. God must be testing you, son.”

It is sad that both of them do not get their way out of trouble.

Even without them noticing, both eyes seemed to peek between the doors that were not so close.

“Hahaha rasain's. Take care of men who can't do anything. That way, I'm the only child in the house. Mother also will not compare me with anyone else.” Lina seemed to smile with satisfaction at hearing all Laurent's stories, which she thought were all due to accident. And it made him so happy to get an unexpected surprise.

“Everything's in order. As our wish.” A short message Lina sent to someone on her phone without a contact name.
