Love, take my side
Chapter 136

It turns out that Danny heard the whispers of the neighbors whisper. Danny stopped his steps and looked at the mothers one by one. Then the man continued his steps by holding Sisil who was still crying. He put his daughter in the car and told her to stop crying.

"Silent darling. We're going to find Aunt Nia, yes" said Danny, wiping his daughter's tears. Then hugged Sisil tightly while stroking his head. Seeing her daughter crying like this. Danny could not help his grief either. He knew very consciously that his daughter was missing the figure of a mother who could love Sisil. Sometimes, Danny can also see jealousy in his daughter's eyes when he sees Anggita petting even when kissing the Light. And so far. Danny can also see if Sisil can position himself if faced with Anggita.

"Promise me."

"promises. But shut up first donk," persuaded Danny while again stroking his daughter's head. The little boy nodded his head innocently.

"Wait a minute here" said Danny again and then closed the car door. Danny goes back to where the mothers are still talking about Nia.

"Sorry mom, mom. Please don't think of Nia as an actor. I'm in touch with Nia with the status of a widower" Danny said. It turned out that he did not immediately respond to the mother's words because Danny did not want his daughter Sisil to hear the conversation today.

The mothers look embarrassed. They didn't expect Danny's hearing to be so sharp. They were just whispering but Danny heard it. No one dared to answer Danny's words because the mothers were embarrassed to be caught saying negative things to Nia. But there was a woman who stepped closer to Danny until the woman and Danny were only about a meter away.

"Whatever your defense of Nia is at this time. There's no more meaning. Nia had already gotten a hurtful word from us her neighbors. You should have done this defense when Nia's pregnancy was just discovered by the neighbors. After his suffering ended. Have you ever thought, how did Nia go through the pregnancy herself?. The pregnancy could indeed be because it is wrong Nia can not maintain her self-esteem. But with that fetus. It wasn't Nia's fault or yours. But it exists because of the will of its Creator. Many people out there are committing these sins, but are not pregnant. Or even halal couples who do not get a baby. If you don't care about Nia. At least you care about your seeds by keeping Nia's feelings in check" said the woman, making Danny more open-minded. That woman was the woman who helped Nia. The woman already knew a little what made Nia not want to marry Danny.

After saying that word. The woman leaves Danny who still looks pensive thinking about the woman's words. The woman was satisfied after saying those words to Danny. See how Nia's suffering. The woman strongly agrees Nia leaves the place and leaves Danny. The woman even helped sell Nia's furniture and promised to keep her mouth shut to Danny and his family. Only that woman was trusted by Nia currently in that place.

Now Danny is embarrassed to see the mothers of the neighboring mothers. His intention to defend Nia and eliminate the negative assessment but he now has to bow his head because he does not want to see the cynical gaze of the mothers. The neighbors clearly heard the woman's words. But Danny was also relieved and satisfied. At least in his defense. The mothers of neighboring mothers do not carelessly say negative things about Nia.

Doldrumsily, Danny steps his foot into the car. Seeing Sisil re-open his grief. For the second time, maybe Sisil will lose hope of a woman who can love him sincerely. Sisil once expected Anggita as his mother and gave the nickname mama ita to the woman. But the hope is not fulfilled because Anggita is the wife of her own om.

"I'm sorry papa son" Danny said in his heart. He felt pessimistic about meeting Nia again. Danny then reached into his pants pocket and pulled the phone out of the bag.

Danny re-unblocks Nia's contacts on his phone. Danny tried to contact the contact. Danny cheered happily as the call he had originally called had now turned to ring. Danny can't wait for the call to be answered. Eventually the call went unanswered.

Want to show his seriousness. Danny finally contacted Nia again. But this time it no longer rings but just calls. Danny hit the steering wheel pissed. But realizing there was his favorite daughter in the car, Danny finally tried to behave normally.

In another place. Something different was felt by Nia. The poor woman felt an immeasurable happiness knowing that her baby could be brought home. She got the news last night and today she met the baby for the first time after three weeks apart. They deliberately made an appointment at the home of one of Jessi's friends who was a little away from the city because they did not want their neighbors in the old place to know about this baby girl. It took two hours to get to Jessi's friend's house.

Nia was crying happily to see her baby daughter. For three weeks he endured the longing because he had to be separated from the baby. Apart from focusing on recovering her body, one of the reasons Nia did not visit her baby daughter was for fear of being caught by Danny. During those three weeks, Danny came carelessly. That is why they made an appointment to meet in this house after finishing the business of moving from the old house. Nia accidentally sells the furniture so that Danny and his family suspect they are moving out of town.

"Why don't you let me move far out of Jessi's town" said Nia sadly. Actually he wanted to go far to forget all the memories in this city but his two younger siblings held Nia to stay in this city.

"How can I let you go away mbak. Life is not like a world of hallucinations. Everyone needs consideration. You and this baby should still get treatment for at least a complete rest for the next month. If I let you move out of town. Are you sure you get a job. If so, what about this baby. At least if we're still together. We can change our minds" Jessi replied. Many things Jessi considered until they just moved house without moving city. His study which soon became a consideration then the condition of the new place is uncertain.

Nia fell silent. Jessi's words are right.

"We're going to travel in about an hour to our rented house" Jessi said. Nia rounded her eyes. He thought that the rented house Jessi said was around this place. Just got out of labor three weeks ago. Traveling to this place made him very tired. And for the sake of wanting to see what kind of contract Jessi chose for them made Nia curious.

"Then we'll just go now" said Nia. But Jessi and her friend didn't agree right away. They told Nia to rest first.

"Rest first mbak. You've been on a two-hour trip. Better get some rest first" Jessi said. Jessi really paid attention to Nia. Jessi thinks that if it wasn't her and her sister who were watching Nia, who else. They forbid Nia to get in touch with Danny. For the past three weeks, Jessi has to hold back the anger of knowing Danny is coming home almost every day. He wanted to actually give the man a painful pearl word. But remembering Nia's baby is more important than being angry with Danny makes the woman focus on keeping the baby girl while in the hospital.

Two hours later. Nia and Jessi travel to their contract. Nia and her baby are taking a taxi while Jessi is on her motorcycle.

"This is her house?" nia asked after she and the baby got out of the taxi. Suitcases containing their clothes have also been taken down.

"Yes, why?" ask Jessi while locking her motorcycle and then get off the motorcycle. Jessi even asked the taxi driver to help lift their suitcase to the front of the house.

Jessi opened the door. Nia was surprised to see the front of the house. It turns out that Jessi is not only contracting a house for their residence but also for business.

"How's mbak?" ask Jessi with a smile.

"When are you taking care of all this?" ask Nia astonished. All she knew was that Jessi had to go to college and take turns with her sister to keep the baby in the hospital. Nia noticed the front of the house that was filled with staples needed by the household every day. There is rice, sugar, cooking oil and all the rest. The front of the house is already similar to wholesale because the neatly arranged sale is very complete.

"It must have been three weeks" Jessi replied. One week since the birth of the baby. Jessi thinks hard about their income later. Needs and expenses are definitely increased by the presence of the baby girl. Jessi came up with the idea after brainstorming with her friend. Do not want the remaining loan from the bank to run free. Finally Nia was determined to use the money to open a business. Jessi thought, Nia would be more comfortable keeping up that effort along with looking after her baby than having to find a job again.

"Our life for a while depends on this effort" Jessi said. The woman turned sad to imagine the uncertain state of their lives.

Nia is sad. He knew the meaning of his sister's words. Jessi does have a side job other than college but that's for herself less. His other sister was like that too. Having a job that is not sedentary but for itself is also lacking.

"Thank you my sister" Nia said as she leaned closer to Jessi's body. That was all he could say right now over the struggle together with his younger brother. Jessi hugged the brother's body with a sobbing. Jessi was very sad. Their happiness due to the birth of the baby was also a sadness for the three of them. Just because it's keeping the baby. They must close their ears if they pass through the mothers who were gathered in the previous house.

"We raised this baby together. He's the responsibility of the three of us" Jessi said as she stared at the baby girl's shady face. Nia nodded her head with the need to hear her sister's words. He did not expect. After the disgrace he made himself. His younger brother still gives his spirit and even supports himself so far.

I also shed her tears. In his heart he hopes and prays that this effort can make them from economic difficulties let alone there are installments every month that they must take responsibility.

"It's just the rest of the money from the rest of the bank's loan proceeds" Nia said again while showing some red and blue sheets of money to Nia.

"Is that enough to pay next week's bank installments?" ask Nia. Sunday with them already have to pay the first installment of the money they borrowed.

"Enough mbak. But for this week's meal we should be from this Effort" Jessi said. Nia fell silent. That means they can still be said to be in financial trouble. The results of the furniture of the house have not been received. Jessi helps the woman to sit on the floor. Unlike the front of the house that is filled with materials for sale. But the middle of the house still looks empty. In the room there is only a simple bed and in the kitchen there are only makeshift fixtures.

"Jessi, when do you have time. Please bring the sewing machine that was in our house before" Nia said after thinking for a while. No one bought her sewing machine because no one needed it in that place. But now. Nia felt grateful that no one was interested in buying the sewing machine because it was in this place. He would use the machine to make money.

"That you sure can. Did not deepen the first knowledge just open a sewing business," asked Jessi hesitated. Nia is still a matter of months of sewing. Jessi is worried if the rush to open the business will make customers disappointed because the results are less than satisfactory.

"Believe me" said Nia reassuring her sister. Nia was determined in her heart to bring her sister and daughter out of this distress.

"For a while. We'd better not go to that house. Later I ask my friend to help me find a used sewing machine for you. I was worried Danny would come to that place" Jessi said.

Nia was silent again. Heard the father's name from the baby he's holding right now. There was a pulse of pain perched into the recesses of his heart.

"You're thinking?" jessi asked as she stared intently at Nia's face. The woman would most not like to see the sad-faced Nia if she heard the name of the man. Nia stuttered and said no.

"Be a firm woman mbak. Make sure your heart is not affected just hearing the name. Even though we stare and touch his flesh and blood every day. Make sure there is no empty space in your heart for the man. But if my word goes against your heart. I'm not forcing you to stay here. You can decide your own path. If you marry that man, you think is the best way. Go ahead," Jessi said firmly. He doesn't like Danny and his family at all. But if Nia wants the wedding. Jessi will not force Nia to refuse.

"Do you think I look like I want that wedding?" ask Nia back.. She is only saddened to remember the treatment of Danny who refused to take responsibility for the sake of his twin. Not that he was willing to marry the man who was as easy as the palm of the hand agreed with the proposal from Grandma Rieta and Gunawan to marry him. Especially clearly, Danny showed himself the woman he was chasing at the time.

"You don't know the pain of the deck. You can interpret any look on my face if you hear that name. But one thing you should know. I will not drop my pride on anyone including that man. Enough of this stupidity as a lesson for the three of us and this baby."

Jessi smiled at Nia's words.

"Then. Prove yourself to be a strong woman" Jessi said. Nia nodded her head. After that bitter journey of life experience. Nia promised to give a bright future to her family, especially her daughter.
