LIFE OF AYUNDA

That night was a night, where I was humiliated by my friends who used to admire me so much, because I was the son of a prominent person in this city.

I do not blame them, because I am now poor and my parents died.

My father left a house, but the house had been sold by aunts and uncles to cover my father's debt.

However, it didn't stop there, it turned out that my father still had other debts that I didn't know about.

My name is Ayunda Fadilah, I am 20 years old at this time.

But Ayunda has to face endless suffering, because of the money debt left by her father.

Ayunda's aunt and uncle always said that Ayunda's father still owed money, as much as 500 million to a loan shark, because he was trying to cover up the results of his corruption.

Ayunda was so shocked to hear that, if the debt was not paid immediately, they would dig up the graves of the two parents and give it to a wild dog in the forest.

"Why can they be that cruel? Can't they give a little more time, I'll try to get the money," said Ayunda, kneeling in front of her aunt.

Aunt Ayunda felt sorry to see Ayunda like that, but she also couldn't do anything about it, because they are poor people even though their lives are not poor.

"Forgive aunt, son, you look at our current situation. Your uncle is only a security guard at a company and aunt is only an employee. How can we help you pay off the 500 million debt within a month?"

Ayunda is very understand hearing the words of Aunt Rose, what her aunt says is true, if combined with the salaries of her aunt and uncle, they only get 10 million in a month, not to mention that they have two children who are currently studying and the other one is studying abroad. But their child is studying abroad, thanks to the scholarship he got.

Ayunda felt very helpless at that time, she was just a daughter who lived well and then, there was nothing she could do.

Ayunda has worked part-time several times after returning from campus, but not a day or two has she been expelled or fired from his job.

Because she could not sweep, wash dishes, even lift the tray containing the food ordered by guests, his hands were shaking.

She was accepted because of her very beautiful face, as well as her tall posture and also beautiful to look at, but all of that was useless because she was always getting fired.

Two weeks have passed and there are only two weeks left, Ayunda is getting more and more frustrated. Even if she reported this to the police, but what she was fighting against was a great loan shark, they could definitely do whatever they wanted.

One night when Ayunda was sitting doing his college assignment, the sound of knocking was heard from the door of his room.

Ayunda walked to open the door and it turned out to be Rose's aunt and Danu's uncle.

"Aunt uncle," said Ayunda them to come into the room.

Aunt Ayunda smiled sweetly at Ayunda, while her uncle was silent.

"What's up Aunt?" Ayunda asked her aunt.

The two people looked at each other, encouraging each other to talk.

"Just say aunt, uncle."

Aunt Ayunda started touching Ayunda's hand, then held her hand.

"Look, son, we have a solution for you, that too if you will."

Ayunda is still listening to her aunt's words.

"There's someone who needs a wife, and he's going to pay anything for it."

Ayunda was so surprised to hear what her aunt said, she thought that it was not time for her to get married, because she was still continuing her studies.

"I…?" Ayunda pointed at her nose. Shee was quite flinched.

Ayunda aunt slowly stroked her head gently.

"There is no other choice Ayu, you have two weeks left! If in two weeks, you cannot get the 500 million, then they will demolish your parents' graves, and they will sell you."

Ayunda was silent to hear her aunt's words. If within two weeks she does not get the money, then the graves of his parents will be dug up, and they will take her in exchange. Moneylenders are not ordinary people, they have thugs that are so scary. Ayunda herself did not want her aunt and uncle to be hurt.

"Wh-who is that man? The man who will marry me."

Aunt Ayunda smiled at her, then got closer. "Look, honey, he is a successful businessman but now that he has retired and is just staying at home, he needs a wife who can look after him."

Ayunda was confused at the word retirement.

"Retired...? H-how old is that man, auntie?"

Hearing Ayunda's question, which was so shocked, made Aunt Rose try to calm Ayunda down.

"You don't need to be afraid or nervous like that, actually the man is quite old, he's 60 years old."

Suddenly Ayunda screamed, because she was so surprised to hear that the man who was going to marry her was an old man.

"Haaah? 60 years? Aren't you wrong aunt?"

Ayunda just suddenly got up from his seat.

"No, I don't want aunt. How could I marry grandpa old man, this is really impossible."

Aunt Ayunda seemed annoyed to see this, but was stopped by Uncle Danu.

"No," said Uncle Danu, gesturing. They went out of Ayunda's room.

Before closing the door to Ayunda's room, Aunt Rose turned around and said.

"Think carefully ayu, if you marry him, you just need to take care of it. But if you refuse and the loan sharks come to take you, then you will be sold and become a comfort woman in every nightclub. You decide that yourself."

Aunt Rose closed the door to Ayunda's room, Ayunda immediately fell limp on the floor hearing her aunt's words.
