THE ESCAPED BRIDE ESCAPED
12. Climbing Ceiling

Gayatri had been forced to take a shower and breakfast since seven. He felt very reluctant to do so. His face was crumpled and bent by ten. There was no message or miscall from God until this moment.

"Mommy, just cancel the wedding," whined Aya.

"Bosen mami heard your whining from the morning. Here's mami dandani. Your face's tangled rich in ironed cloth for years."

Mami scrunched her nose and mouth to emphasize the intent of her words.

Usually Aya will laugh funny to see the expression of such a mother. But not this morning. He was still sitting leisurely leaning on the head of the bed. Not looking at mom at all.

My mother gave up persuading him. The woman came out of the room gloomily. Will complain to Papi or Eyang soon. Gayatri is gone. According to him, the Gods did not manage to fulfill their agreement. That's why the man no longer called Aya.

Before long, he entered the room. Papi and Mami were accompanying from behind.

"Now what else do you want to do? Your papa used to go to the hospital because of your behavior. Do you want eyes now, and your mom's sick too?" ask sharp eye.

"God is not coming!" gayatri said with a confident tone.

"You're always accusing someone else who isn't!" papi spoke. His voice was clearly unhappy.

"What do you say until you're sure he'll be influenced by your words?" ask eyang.

"It doesn't affect him!" his objection.

"Then why are you sure he won't come?" eyang.

"We made a deal. If he doesn't complete the terms Aya proposes, then the marriage can't be done!" answer Aya.

"You!"

He could no longer continue his words. He was too emotional for his granddaughter.

"What agreement?" ask papi to know.

"He must avenge Aya to Reynald first, then Aya wants to get married. If he fails, then the marriage is off! Time to end yesterday. And he didn't give any news at all! It means he failed and this marriage doesn't have to happen!"

Gayatri spoke very calmly and clearly. Everyone understood the meaning of his words. But it just makes you angry.

"The deal didn't happen! It wasn't talked about at a family meeting. And an agreement that harms one party, is illegitimate!"

The sound was loud and filled the room. Eyang was restraining himself from getting angry. Mom crying in papi's arms.

"Dress her. His will. If the Lord does not come because of his actions, then I will marry him to a widower, as his successor. Today too!"

Eyang snorted and immediately turned out of the room. The old man was already very angry now.

"Eyang, it's not Aya's fault. It's God's fault. He's the one who can't qualify!" Gayatri is still trying to rid herself of the blame.

Eyang did not care and continued to continue his steps out of the room.

"Your terms don't make sense! You want him to commit a crime to qualify you? You really want to be a spinster and be the butt of a city joke, don't you? You want to be famous, right? Huh!" Papi also exited the room after taking out all the unegs in his heart.

But mom stayed there. After washing your face, your mom is ready with her combat tools. A beauty case was opened in front of Aya's room table.

"What else to dress up for? The groom's not coming!" grouse Aya.

"If the family of the Gods does not come, then you will marry a married man. Either way, you're still getting married today. There's no choice!" mami cold said.

"Mommy! Masa Aya wants to be married to a married man anyway? Don't be so unreasonable dong!" reject Aya.

"The wrong mom for spoiling you. Follow your every wish and let all your often unreasonable behavior. Now is the time for you to accept the consequences of your reckless attitude!"

"It's not random, Mommy. Aya has reason to take revenge on Reynald!" Aya gave an argument.

"Whatever your purpose, but forcing people to commit criminal acts for your own sake, that's selfish. You may be happy and satisfied. But what about the gods? What if he then deals with the police because of you?"

"You're a very irresponsible girl! Even if the God canceled this marriage, it still wasn't his fault. It was your fault! So don't blame you for marrying a married man. Maybe it's your destiny!"

"Mommy ...!" Aya could not speak anymore. Hearing mom's explanation, it felt like it was her fault.

"Am I that selfish?" thought. The girl looked down.

"How now? Who is angry and will marry me to a married man? Does it have to be like this eventually? Is this my destiny?" his heart was in pain and was very unaccepting.

Mommy started combing Gayatri's hair. His movements were slow, like he was daydreaming. Aya could see from the mirror, occasionally mami wiped her falling tears.

Gayatri's heart hurts more and more to see that. "What am I supposed to do?" thought.

"Mommy wouldn't want me to be toxic at someone else's wedding. Did I just run away again?" his inner.

Time to stay a little more. If he wanted to escape, then he would have to plan for it from now on.

"Damn! Why do I trust him so much? I should've drawn up a plan to escape yesterday!" gayatri Sesal.

An hour later, my job is done. Gayatri is done dressing. Just put on a kebaya bought a few days ago.

"Let Aya wear it herself, Mi. Aya still wants to go pup first," he said.

"That's it. Don't make trouble again. We don't have enough savings if the God family also takes the case to the law!" My mother warned me again. Aya nodded.

Mom came out and locked the door. I immediately looked at the ceiling. Think fast, how to get up there.

Get rid of all the equipment on the dresser. Then Aya raises the plastic chair to the table. He tried to go up and hold on to the mirror frame.The ceiling was not yet affordable.

"It's so tall. Add what else?" thought. His eyes were looking for something that could increase his footing height.

"Ah ... click the bathroom!" muttered pleased. The girl immediately went down and headed for the bathroom. The usual wood was there. The object was immediately taken to the room and raised to a plastic table and chair arrangement. His position is a bit ill-fitting.

"Try first," he murmured.

The girl climbed back up to the table and chair. Then try treading on the wooden clink carefully. Rather shaky indeed. But his hands immediately clung to the ceiling.

His chest dag dig dug for fear of falling. It was about three meters to the floor. Falling at that height, it might make his legs unable to walk for some time.
