Chereads / The Fault Between Us / Chapter 15 - Regret

Chapter 15 - Regret

A tired face accompanied by sweat dripped down Kalila's face as she was walking back to Sisca's house from her intern office. Before returning home, Kalila tries to visit Janu's house, hoping that Janu has returned from Malaysia.

Kalila saw Janu with his Mom and Dad leaving their house, followed by a man and a woman who looked the same age as Janu's Dad and Mom.

"Wow! Congratulations Janu. I am very impressed with you. You are still young but have opened a business branch abroad." Said the man who seemed to be facing Janu

"Haha thank you very much sir." Janu replied with a very happy face.

"I think you should get married now, Janu. You already had enough. I can assure you that you ready to get married." Said the woman who was most likely the wife of the man who congratulated Janu.

Kalila also tried to get closer and approached Janu and his family. After all, Janu had said that he would introduce Kalila to her parents.

"That's right. Maybe Janu can be matched with your daughter, Mas. How is she now?" Said Rostiana, Janu's mother.

Deg!

Suddenly the statement that came out of Rostiana made Kalila stop her steps.

Hearing the matchmaking, Kalila's heart was completely broken. Even Janu's face looked very happy. It seems that he does not have the slightest burden on the child in Kalila's womb.

"Hahaha, that's okay. Let's strengthen our relationship. What do you think, Janu? I hope you agree with this." Ask the man to confirm to Janu

"Hahaha I'll just follow you, sir." Janu replied while laughing out loud.

"Wow! Janu seems to have agreed, here. Soon we will become a family!" Rostiana exclaimed with her happy face.

Instantly, Kalila burst into tears when she heard Janu's response. She immediately remembered the words of Adam and his father who strictly forbade Kalila to have contact with the Sanjaya family and Janu's response to wanting Kalila to abort her pregnancy.

*Flashback*

"The point is that I don't like your relationship with Janu, Lila."

"I don't want you to be hurt by Janu, Lila. Do you understand what I mean? I don't want you to be lulled by him."

"They are not equal to us, Lila. You know who Gunadhya is. I was also immediately fired by him until I didn't have a job to support you for months. At that time you were still in high school. Until Adam was looking for a job to help me and also paid your college."

"Yes. How can you accept that you are now in relationship with Janu?

"I am pregnant."

"So what do you want now, Lila?"

"I-I'm confused. Let's get married and take care of this baby?"

"Not now, dear. You know that my business is growing very fast at this moment. I can't get married anytime soon. My Dad definitely won't allow it."

"Shall we abort the baby?"

"You bashful! How many times has Dad told you not to hang out with them. Is this how it is now? Then he doesn't want to take responsibility, right?"

*Flashback Off*

***

Kalila returns to Sisca's house with puffy eyes. She was seen rushing into the room when Sisca watched her and wondered what had happened to the poor woman.

Sisca's door was immediately blocked by Kalila when she was about to close the door to her room. "What happened, Lila?"

"I'm fine, aunty."

"Don't lie. Tell me if there's anything wrong." Sisca said.

"Aunty, if I abort my baby now, what do you think?" Kalila asked with no hope.

"Really? You asked me this stupid question? why? Didn't you want to keep your baby until you were willing to be expelled?" Sisca said while trying to remind Kalila of the struggles and risks she had taken to take care of her baby.

"Yes, aunty. But I just saw Mas Janu and his family. Mas Janu wants to be married." Kalila also told Janu's response to Sisca while sobbing.

"You love your baby or Janu, Lil?"

"I love both of them. I still love Mas Janu, I can't forget him easily." Said Kalila with a sad face.

Sisca sighed as she rubbed Kalila's head "If you love your baby too, you definitely won't abort it just because you heard Janu will be married off to another woman."

"I really love my future baby, Aunty. But I also can't bear it if later this baby is born, he will remind me of Mas Janu. I want to forget Mas Janu forever."

"If that's the case, you have to keep taking care of this baby. You now have no one else but this baby. So, one day he will take care of and accompany you."

"Now just take a rest, okay? Don't think about it anymore. As long as I am still here, I will help and take care of you."
