In a minimalist room measuring 4x3.5 meters, a beautiful girl wearing white gray clothes typical of High School children, she was tidying her school bag and put textbooks into a bag. His mood was very good until he continued to hum, a thin smile never strayed from his ripe lips.
Byan Anandita Putri is a student at SMA Pelita Bangsa in Bandung. She is a 12th grader who will be doing her final exams in a few months.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"Bijan! My tyan!
Bian immediately closed the zipper bag that he was tidying up and walked towards the door and opened the door slowly.
"Mother!" a smile he gave to the middle-aged woman who had been caring for, caring for, and loving him with love and patience.
"Byan, there's something your father wants to tell you, son!" The look on Kirani's face is sad and not cheerful as usual.
"What's up, Mom? Why does Mom look so sad? Are you going to move again? You don't want to leave this house, do you?"
Byan held the mother's arm while saying a question that he had always thrown when the mother had a sad and not excited face. His father Byan was an ASN. So they were used to moving from one city to another when the father moved tasks.
"You'd better meet your dad first, son!" kirani said to her second child. Byan is the only daughter in the family. He has an older brother who has worked as a manager at the largest printing company in Jakarta, and another sister who is still in junior high school.
Byan nodded. He did not want to ask much, if his mother had spoken seriously like this there must have been an urgent matter and he had to hear it immediately.
"Dad!" call the Byan who sits and hugs the father.
Adrian smiled then returned Byan's embrace and rubbed his son's head gently. For a moment he felt very guilty for having to convey the news of wearing less for Byan, but he had no other choice. Adrian had to do all this.
"Byan, Byan loves me, doesn't he?" adrian asked who of course was answered nod by Byan.
Adrian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Dad wants to marry Byan to someone."
Jedeerr!
Like a lightning bolt in broad daylight. Byan was surprised by the statement of his father who suddenly wanted to marry him.
Byan looked at his father, then laughed out loud. Adrian and Kirani just stared at their daughter who still could not believe what Adrian said.
Seeing the serious faces of Adrian and Kirani, Byan immediately stopped his laughter. He glanced at Adrian and Kirani alternately.
"What did I hear that was true Dad? You want to marry Byan?"
Byan asked with teary eyes. His heart thumped with fear that his father would say yes. Deep inside Byan, he continued to pray that his father and mother were just joking. She's still in school, why did she have to get married so soon.
"Dad, don't be like this! Why did Byan have to get married, Byan did not get pregnant, Byan also always obeyed all the words of Father and Mother, Byan never went out at night, Byan was not naughty, but why did Dad want to throw Byan? What's wrong with Byan Dad? Hicksss ... Bi-byan still wants to go to school, Byan wants to be a successful person and make Dad and Mom proud, Byan wants to be like Kak Haris Dad, Byan wants to achieve Byan's ideals. Hicksss ... Byan doesn't want to get married this fast."
Adrian was devastated when he saw his daughter sobbing. He embraced Byan's vibrating body and rubbed Byan's back gently. Slowly her tears came. Although Adrian is a man, but he is also a father, it is very easy for him to shed tears when the girl he so dearly loves cries before his eyes.
"Pardon Byan's father, father did this because father has a lot of debt to the Nugroho family. I borrowed a lot of money to cover my debt. A few months ago, your father cheated your uncle, he borrowed money with the name of the father, he promised to pay the installment on time But it turns out, .. promise only promise, he ran away, he, and I have to pay for everything. You cannot pay off the debt according to the date set. Father's office mates introduce you to the Nugroho Family, but they're all the same, they're going to jail you if you don't want to marry you to the oldest child in the family. Dad must have borrowed money from your brother. But ... Now he's having problems in his office. I can't bear to press him constantly."
Kirani smothered her mouth so that the sound of her sobbing was not heard by Byan. It's all his fault, too. If at that time he could prevent Adrian from trusting his brother, none of this would have happened.
I couldn't bear to see Byan and Adrian crying. Kirani finally went to her room. He felt that this was unfair, why did he have to be sick? Why his son should be a victim of the pain he suffered.
Kirani still continued to cry while holding onto her chest that was starting to clench. While outside the room, Adrian is still trying to give understanding to Byan.
Byan was crying. He was confused as to what to do, what choice he had to make. It flashed in his mind to go far away from home leaving his family so that he could escape from all of this. But if he did that, he was afraid, he was so afraid that his father would go to jail. If that happens, who will help Kirani do the treatment, who will take care of Bagas while his mother is sickly and Haris is also in Jakarta.
"Dad please, son, please help Dad. You can continue your education. The Nugroho family is a wealthy family. They're gonna send you to school until you can achieve what you've been dreaming of."
"Byan can't Dad, Byan doesn't want to be a housewife, Byan still wants to play. Byan was afraid, what if the man who was betrothed to Byan was an old bandot who liked young leaves like Byan."
"Mother!" ... Someone shouted loudly.
Adrian had not had time to answer his daughter's questions, he heard the sound of Bagas screaming from inside the room.
Byan and Adrian stood up and ran to Kirani's room.
"Mother!"
Byan shouted, he collapsed on the floor then pulled and grabbed Kirani's shoulder from Bagas' hand.
"Mother why? Awake Mother!" Byan tries to pat Kirani on the cheek hoping that her mother will respond, but unfortunately, Kirani does not make any movement.
"Dad call an ambulance! Hurry along!"
Byan shouted back.
"Mother realize!" ...
"Mother" ...
