Suddenly a Husband
Reni's Father's Request

"Bang Sigit died in an accident, bang." said Ami, when I questioned about my brother's death.

"That's not what you mean. We both heard the police statement that the motor launched bang Sigit the speed is standard. There is no danger also that prevents him from experiencing bad things. But the accident happened. A single accident that resulted in a fatal bang Sigit condition. We also know that before his last breath, there was only Abah and bang Sigit in the hospital room. You sure, nothing happened between the two of them before bang Sigit breathed his last?" My question surprised Ami, he covered his mouth with his hands.

"No, no. I don't want to imagine anything. It's bang, don't discuss it again. It's getting horrible. I don't want to hear Abah's tyranny anymore!" Ami.

"But I'll find out!" I said.

"Bang," Ami pleaded. Naturally he did all that because after all Abah was his father, our father both. But I can't let Abah go against my brother. We have to know everything. "Didn't you feel sorry for me and Mom? We live in inner distress, bang."

"It is precisely because Brother loves you the same. Abah, even though Abah treats us badly. We have to make Abah realize that Abah has been very wrong and Abah has to heal him!"

Ami could not speak anymore, he could only resign, not forget he asked me to keep the promise to return home and live together again.

"Bang, wait at home huh. I really hope you come home. Poor mom too, bang. Since the departure of Bang Sigit often daydreamed, feeling guilty because his two sons left him." said Ami, before we separated at the lobby mall. I drove him and Alif up in the taxi, and then I went back to the boarding house on my bike.

My HP is ringing. From Reni's number, I ignored it. I was busy with stuff before I moved into the house tonight.

Some messages came in, still from Reni's number. I ignored it because I wanted to finish first. Later when it's all over then I'll call Reni back.

Recently, we have been communicating often. At his father's request. I helped Reni recover, especially from her mentally which was quite destroyed after the calamity that happened to her.

A little more settled, suddenly the door to my room was knocked. Riko again. I got the head bobble, didn't he have a softer way of not being surprised.

"Pertain suicide, Ben!" said Riko.

I was more surprised by the information Riko brought. My body immediately limp in hearing it. Yesterday we met, he was fine. Reni was already very cheerful, just like she usually was. It's just that he still needs time to meet other people. The only strangers she wants to meet are me and Riko.

I remember, a few hours ago he called me. Did I make a second mistake? Ignoring when he needs my help?

"Ta .. Reni called me. About an age or two." I said, with a trembling hand, opening the phone, seeing the call and message from Reni that I had ignored.

"That's his father, Ben. It was morning." replied Riko. He's just like me. Sitting limp on the floor of my room with a sad feeling.

"Then where is Reni?"

"He's in the hospital. Reni's parents calling you would need your help. Only you can restore his spirit."

"But why did he do all that? Wasn't she okay before?"

"Pregnant art, Ben. Earlier this morning it seemed like he was doing a test, after knowing the results he had directly hurt himself. It seemed like Reni was struck by that fact, she was completely unprepared to conceive the child of those criminals. They are really cruel, in addition to destroying Reni's life, they also make her have to bear the burden of her entire life with the existence of the child."

"But the boy is innocent" I said.

"Ben, Reni's a great doctor. She is now pregnant out of wedlock. Can you imagine how devastated Reni's future would be? He had to take care of the boy for the rest of his life. That means he'll have to keep looking at those bad memories forever!"

In order to avoid any dispute due to the debate, I decided to visit Reni in the hospital together with Riko.

Arriving there, both of Reni's parents immediately greeted us with cries. His father and mother told him about Reni's current condition, which is back in chaos, even worse. Both hands must be tied so as not to do self-harm again.

"Nobody's welcome to Reni, son of Ben. Even our parents were ignored. We were really sad to see him like that" his father said

"Om, if possible, allow me to meet Reni." I asked.

"Of course, with pleasure Ben!"

I ventured into the room where Reni was in. As his parents said, his hands had to be tied.

"Ren," call me. How sad I was to see him like that. But he who looks still hit trying to smile. He doesn't want anyone to know how he struggles.

"Ben, I'm pregnant!" reni said in a raucous voice, he was crying.

I approached his bed. Unlock both ties in his hand. "Don't add to your suffering any more. Don't hurt yourself. If you want to die, without hurting yourself you will die too if the time comes, but if the time has not come, do not end, you use any means if God says it's not time then you'll live, Ren!"

"Ben," he looked at me. "Are you going to. leave me?"

"No, I'll still be your best friend, Ren. When I'm down, you're always there for me, and now I will. Don't hurt yourself and that baby Ren. You can take very good care of him."

"Ben, I'm not ready to be a mother. I ..."

"If you haven't tried, don't say you're not ready yet, Ren. You're a great girl, Ren. God entrusts this child to you because He knows you can."

"Aghhhhh," Reni grumbled. He almost cried so desperate.

"You're gonna take care of him, right?"

"I don't know."

"Please ...."

"I can't be alone, Ben!"

"Then I'll be with you."

"Really?" Seriously!

"Yep. I'll accompany you and your son, Ren. We face it all together. Okay!"

"Ben!" Reni was really crying.

He was so grateful because I helped him. He actually does not want to expect much, I am willing to be the adoptive father of his son he has been very much grateful.
