Forced to Marry for Debt
40. Eka

This afternoon Kira went for a walk alone. Nathan had gone to the office this morning so he was free to go alone without any intruders. As of now, he was walking on the sidewalk of Jakarta alone.

Up halfway he saw an old Grandpa being snapped at the young man. I don't know what was wrong until he was snapped so but what makes Kira sad is, Grandpa was crying while picking up his merchandise scattered because of the young man.

Kira's heart was sliced, she remembered her father when she saw the old Grandpa. Unbearable to see Grandpa continued to be snapped, Kira ventured to approach the Grandfather and crouched down next to the Grandfather to pick up his wares on the sidewalk.

At first Grandpa was surprised by Kira's presence which suddenly helped him but eventually Grandpa let Kira help him. He knew the girl was kind, seen how the girl looked at him and smiled sincerely at him.

"Eh, the grandson came, said yes to Grandpa Lo, if the road is clay-wild! My expensive clothes got dirty because of him!" the young girl who had no manners at all.

Kira helped Grandpa stand up after picking up all his wares. He looked at the young girl who folded her hands on her chest.

"Sad, you don't have manners!" cibir Kira made the young girl laugh cynically.

"What did you say?! Who do you think would dare to say that to me, huh?!" snarl The girl.

Kira raised the corner of her lips upwards, staring at the cynical girl before her. "Don't you rich kids oppress weak people!" reply Kira no less loud.

"Emang should be poor people should be in disgrace." replied the girl again, wagging her wave hair.

"Huh?? I think I should teach you a lesson let me know how to respect older people."

"Sori, yes, I'm not level at the same teaching lo!" cynical that girl.

"Updah-already, neng. Don't fight, the wrong Grandpa hit him." Grandpa broke up when the girl wanted to grab Kira's hair.

Kira looked at Grandpa, her forehead wrinkled. Maybe Grandpa is blaming himself. The young girl was not polite to him.

"The horror! I'm not wrong, Grandpa lo aja ngakuin if he's wrong." the smile of victory printed on the lips of the girl.

"Eh, what's going on?" the voice of someone approaching them.

The person who had just approached them, glaring at his eyes saw his Grandfather crying there. "What do you do with my grandfather, huh?!" snatch that guy to the young girl.

"Udah, don't quarrel, Eka." Lerai the Grandfather, he pulled Eka who wanted to grab the young girl and quickly the young girl ran away because she felt herself in croyok.

As soon as the young girl, Eka looked at her Grandpa. His clothes and Grandpa's face were dirty, he guessed that the girl dared to bully his Grandpa until his Grandpa fell down earlier.

"Grandfather doesn't papa, right? I told you, don't trade anymore, Grandpa doesn't want to terrorize me anyway." Eka's eyes exude worry. The comforting woman had her tenderness side to Grandpa making Kira moved.

"Eka?"

Eka turned to Kira, and she was surprised. It turns out that who had helped him was his comrade, Kira who soon stopped working from the bar.

"Kira? You're the one who broke my grandfather? Thanks to ya." Eka smiled at Kira who was also smiling at her.

"Do you know each other?" ask Grandpa Eka.

Both of them nodded simultaneously. "He's my coworker, Kek." replied Eka.

"Thank you, neng. If not, Grandpa doesn't know what's going to happen."

Kira nodded again, smiling. "Yes, Cake, same."

"When you go to my house, I miss knowing this innocent Kira." invite Eka.

"Yes, just play to the house yuk, later Grandpa make a good cake." invite Grandpa Eka as well.

Kira smiled clumsyly, she scratched her head then she nodded her head as she agreed to the invitation of Eka and her Grandfather.

...****************...

"I'm sorry, my house is small and uncomfortable" said Eka, not wanting Kira to feel uncomfortable with this very small and narrow residence.

Kira, who was sitting on a wooden bench in front of Eka's house, shook her head. She also lived in a house like this before she married Nathan. "No, I'm comfortable." said Kira felt Eka was not good.

Eka sighed. "Thank God, most of my friends who play here immediately rush home he said the place is narrow, stink." Eka sat next to Kira on a wooden bench, she brought some cake made by her Grandfather and two glasses of iced tea, she pitied him for Kira.

"Sorry, this is all I can do, understand, my wallet is thin." Eka laughed awkwardly.

Eka smiled happily at Kira's praise. At least Kira wants to eat cake made by his Grandfather because most of his friends do not want to eat it because for them the cake made by his grandfather was dirty, unhygienic even though his grandfather was very risky.

"Grandpa, the cake is very good, Kira likes it." shouted Kira to Grandpa Eka who was in his house.

"Don't be any more." Eka laughed seeing Kira continuing to eat the cake while scowling at him.

"Oiya, why did you quit your job at the bar?" eka asked slowly because she was afraid that her grandfather would hear her because he never told his Grandfather that he worked at a night bar.

Kira chews the cake in her mouth and swallows it before answering Eka's question. "I'm married" she replied, slowly.

"Huh? Marriage?" Eka was surprised by Kira's reply.

Kira nodded. "I got married a month ago."

"Couldn't you? Why impromptu? You have no partner." Eka feels there is an oddity at Kira's wedding.

"I got married because I paid off my father's debt" replied Kira, limp. He remembered back then.

Eka looked at Kira sadly, she could not bear to see Kira had to marry the man she did not love and again it was because it paid off the debt. You went through a time that hurt Kira, and you can get through it. I salute you, Kira.

"Is your marriage always in torment? Or in a camp like FTV-FTV?"

Kira chuckles at the questions coming out of Eka's mouth leaving Eka confused. "Cock eat laugh anyway?" confused with his friend.

"You're funny anyway, I'm not an FTV actor, Eka. I've never been treated like that, and in fact, yes, she always makes me bleed every day and more annoying than she is, she likes to bother me wherever she is." Kira told me.

"I think I'm kayaking on FTV."

Kira slapped Eka's shoulder. "Ih, amit-amit." Eka and Kira laughed at the same time.

"Btw, you still work there?" asked Kira after stopping her laughter.

Eka nodded slowly. "Still." she answered briefly. "Honestly, I don't like working as an entertainer wearing tight and sexy clothes every night and accompanying the brash-nosed guy touching my body but yeah how I had to." Eka smiled bitterly.

Kira looked at Eka sadly, and she hugged Eka from the side. "Patience, yes" Kira stroked Eka's back.

"Aghhhh, Kiraaaa..." Eka returned Kira's embrace, no one had encouraged her all this time and she was grateful for the arrival of Kira in her life who encouraged her through such painful days.

Eka let go of her embrace when the ringing sound of Kira's phone phone was heard clearly. He grinned his forehead asking Kira who contacted him.

"My husband" he answered. "I picked it up first." continued Kira and Eka nodded at him.

Kira picked up the phone from Nathan and stuck it in his ear. He heard Nathan's voice.

"Hallo, the ugliest wife." Nathan's voice upset Kira.

Kira grunted in annoyance. "What's wrong?" resounding.

"Why are you happy when I call? Kangen huh?"

Didn't see if Kira was annoyed with him even said he was happy because he was in contact. Oiya, Nathan is far away so can't see his upset expression.

"Seneng, what's that?! Don't make people sprain!"

Nathan chuckles and it makes Kira even more upset because Nathan's piety is made as rhythmic as the song of Rome rhythms the dangdut king. "Don't go all in, inget last night what did we do?"

"You're just gonna call something that doesn't matter I'm dead!" threaten Kira's.

"Eh don't-don't." Nathan said.

"What do you want to say?" furious Kira.

"Just to say, you made me pause jedug aw aw aw aw, you were so ugly and blurry that it filled my brain u u u.." heard across there Nathan singing origin.

Being so upset with her husband, Kira turned off the connection. He put his cell phone back in his bag.

Eka who only listened to Kira angry from earlier began to gather something, Kira's husband was really crazy to see how upset Kira was to face her husband.
