Suddenly a Husband
Puti's Desire

"I want to stay here together, but there's a condition." Puti said, after Yohana persuaded him. "God should stay here as well!" pati firmly. It was a tough decision for me to make because they weren't married. Besides, there are two other girls in this house, Upik and Caca. It is strange that foreign men who are not mahrams stay.

"Can't do it." I said. "Unless you're married." I glanced at Yohana. "I also hope that married children are not one hundred percent to live under one roof with us. But later will be kept from this house to maintain privacy." I said. The decision was to preserve the comfort of my wife and two other daughters. We're not mahram anyway, so we can't be as good.

"Well, if you can't, I'll go back to the contract and don't look for me anymore, let alone the pretentious thing when it's all just fake!" Puti glanced sharply at Yohana. It was an attitude that made me very angry, but Yohana, he did not take the heart of Puti's disrespectful attitude. He kept begging me to grant his request.

"Darling," Yohana pleaded.

"No!" i said, affirm. Then go into the room. Letting them women talk about it. But obviously, I disagree.

I was still late with the office work, suddenly Yohana went inside. He looks worried.

"What's wrong?" I said.

"Put .. he's gone." Yohana.

"Han, I'm sorry that my decision made you sad. But I have to do all this for you and our other two daughters. Puti doesn't really want to be our son. So, let it go." I try to talk everyday maybe, but also have to be firm so that Yohana knows there is no opportunity for the unwilling to follow the rules. I have to protect her and my other two daughters.

"I love him." said Yohana.

"I'm the one, but he doesn't want us as his parents."

"But after he found out, he had a choice to be good. Just like Upik chose the right path."

Two months have passed. I'm busy with my office. The project that was canceled, I decided to handle it myself. It's not easy. But I have to do it, for the sake of responsibility and self-respect. That I am capable, and do not like to be underestimated.

Today, when it's still working hours. Suddenly Yohana came with Caca, her face looking pale.

"I've been in contact since, why haven't I answered?" ask Yohana. "Puti was arrested by the police. He was accused of being a drug dealer. Obviously that's not possible. She's pregnant. We have to help him!" Yohana Assert.

To calm her heart, I followed her to the police station. We met Puti in a very sad condition. His face was a mess, puffy after crying all night.

"Mom .. Take me home. I don't want to go to jail!" pinta Puti's.

"Darling," Yohana again whined. But I ignored.

"Han, this time I have to say. We have two daughters. I promise we'll be happy." I grabbed her hand, took her away from the police station. Of course after asking a lawyer to accompany Puti. After that, I felt that my responsibilities as her foster parents were over.

He chooses his own path.
