If Love Could Choose

If Love Could Choose
Sabines


"Mas wants you to be Sabina's mother."


The words still ring in his ears. Yunia looked at Vishnu half in disbelief. What did he just hear? Vishnu says he wants Yunia to be the mother of his child... Come on's... When did Vishnu get married?


"Mas... mas just said what?" Yunia asked in a daze. Actually, today there were so many surprises that he received. Maybe his brain is out of his mind... This must be due to shock therapy that is over dosing...


Tuh, right. Suddenly his head felt bad-tempered ga because. Yunia reflexes shook her head driving away the dozens of fireflies that suddenly flew around her head and blurred her gaze.


Vishnu had opened his mouth to tell a story, but then Vishnu realized that Yunia's gaze began not to focus. Therefore he abandoned his intention to tell further stories.


"Yoon... You got nothing?" Ask worried. The one asked did not answer. Yunia looked down while closing her eyes.


"Mas..my head hurts..." Stirring. Pressing his own head with both hands.


"Yes, you should rest now..." Vishnu's Disconnect. Then he helped Yunia stand up and swept her into the room.


"Yunia why, mas..."Ask Bayu who passed by when he just entered the middle room. Vishnu did not reply, only shaking his head, gesturing for his sister not to ask now.


A moment Bayu's forehead wrinkled, but then when he saw the look on his brother's face, he understood. Therefore, he just shrugged, then continued his intention of stepping into the restroom behind the house.


Vishnu helped Yunia sit in her bed. Really, seeing Yunia's condition now made her heart ache. He did not want to add to the sadness that Yunia was feeling right now.


"You go to sleep first, yeah..." Said. Yunia according. He spilled his body assisted by Vishnu. the man covered his wife's body to the chest. But just as she was about to turn away Yunia grabbed her hand.


"Mas.... Is that really what I heard?" Yunia asked softly, again trying to focus on looking at the face of the man who will be the hanger of his life.


Slowly Vishnu returned to face Yunia. looked into his eyes, trying to judge whether the woman was trying to judge him.... ?


For a moment Vishnu was confused what to say. On the one hand, he did not want to add to the burden of the mind of Yunia, the woman whom his father entrusted to him. But on the other hand, he was also afraid that if he did not say it, he would be considered lying ... "ah! After all, the problem has already been sticking out..." His mind.


"Yes..." Finally Vishnu answered. Suddenly Yunia let go of her hand, and at once Vishnu felt as if something had been taken from his heart.


She saw Yunia looking away at the wall beside her bed. Vishnu felt neglected, but he was familiar with what Yunia felt. Vishnu who was about to leave Yunia now sits on the edge of the bed.


"Yun... are you disappointed in me?" Ask Vishnu. It is not imagined that a marriage that has not reached twenty-four hours will end just like that....


"Yuna..." Call Vishnu again when Yunia does not answer the question. Want Vishnu shook Yunia's body to get her attention, but to reach her hand only Vishnu hesitated. He was afraid that Yunia would get angry.


"Do you already know about this...?" Finally Yunia asked without turning her head towards Vishnu, after a while they were silent to each other. Vishnu nodded, forgetting that Yunia was not facing him and did not see a nod of her head. Not hearing the answer, Yunia looked back at Vishnu.


"Eh, yes... Uncle and aunt too..." Vishnu when he realized the meaning of Yunia's gaze. Hearing Vishnu's reply, Yunia took a deep breath. Meaning the status of Vishnu has been a consideration of the father before. How could you marry yourself to Vishnu? A man who even had a child?


Yunia now does not know how to behave. Honestly, he felt disappointed when he found out that Vishnu had a child? Mister? Hey ..! Even now that you are gone, how can you be held accountable? Vishnu? In fact, he has told the truth to his father, even to his uncle and aunt. Ah, what is wrong must be him. why play yes, when asked yesterday.... Ah, come on. Dizzy she thought about it...


".... Then.... Where's her mother now?" Ask Yunia.


"....She's...." Once again Vishnu seemed hesitant to tell a story.


"Mas.... There have been too many surprises I have received all day .... " Yunia warned. As if he wanted to add ... "Don't add any more or I'll die..." Vishnu took a deep breath.


".... she. doesn't want her child..." Vishnu answered without power to hide his sadness.


"How can you?!" This time Yunia asked attentively. Slowly, the feeling of self-pity recedes, its focus on the shadow of a child not wanted by his mother.


"Yes, he prefers his career and education to his own...."


"Emmm that..." A moment Vishnu took a pause. "You know what, the last few years I've been living in Germany?" Ask Vishnu who is possessed by Yunia.


Yes, as far as he knows Vishnu does live in Germany, taking care of his business as well as completing his S3 program.


"Well, there I met Sabina's mother. He's a college friend... We're dating, but we're having a family story ... I don't want to have a bule's ghost...." Vishnu told me while grinning full of irony.


"One day, we came to a party, there we were drunk.... She's pregnant." Vishnu swallowed with great difficulty.


For a moment Vishnu waited for a reaction from Yunia. Yunia seemed to be caught off guard by the story, but she said nothing. He simply covered his mouth with both hands as a reflex reaction to his shock.


".... At that time, .. although I knew that my father would not agree I married a Caucasian, but you might run away from responsibility. I intend to marry her... But, he refused...."


"No. Not because he knew he wasn't welcome in my family, but more likely for selfish reasons ... He does not want to be burdened by a child, while his ideals have not been achieved.... He intends to abort the contents..." Vishnu continued to be sad.


"I know I have sinned, Yun... But he insisted. I finally made a deal. I asked her to take care of her womb until she was born safely, after that, I'll take over..."


Now the world is sitting facing Vishnu. He doesn't think...... Is it, that selfish guy? Usually women who pursue the responsibilities of men, this is even reversed... 🤦


"Then... ?"


"Yes.. with a lot of persuasion, he finally wanted to. but yes, it.. once born the child should be directly I bring...."


"Mas take care of it yourself?" Yunia did not believe.


"Yes, I didn't know that when she found out that her mother didn't want to take care of Sabina, I persuaded her to help me.... To be sure, trying to get dad to accept a grandson from a bule..." Imbuh Vishnu while smiling wryly.


" ... And finally you accept?" Ask Yunia.


"Yes, with some considerations and requirements..."


"What's the condition?" Vishnu smiled at the question.


"One of them... I have to marry you..." Answers later.


"So, did Vishnu feel compelled to marry me?" Ask Yunia again.


"Do you feel compelled?" Vishnu asked back. Yunia throttled while shrugging her shoulders.


"Regardless of our forced marriage or not, I want to carry out the mandate of the father.I will take care of you with my life bet..and please, be my way of happiness..." Vishnu said later.


Yunia heard Vishnu's words. There is no expression of love there, but Vishnu promises certainty of the security, safety and well-being of the next Yunia. That enough? I don't know... Yunia still felt a wedge in her heart.


"You want to, right?" Ask Vishnu expectantly.


Yes, he was sympathetic to the fate of a boy named Sabina, but... Should she be her mother? There's something you don't "click" with that status...


"Let me alone first, mas... " Pinta Yunia at last. Hearing that, Vishnu bit his lips and nodded in understanding.


"Yes, take a rest.." he said, rising up and stepping out of the room, having tidied up Yunia's blanket. Yunia stared at Vishnu's back until it was lost behind the door.
