Married an old man

The man threw Uncle Danu's hand which was about touching Ayunda.

Suddenly Uncle Danu became very annoyed with the young man's treatment of him.

"Once again, I warned you to let go of my niece!! Or else?!"

"Or else what?!!" The man asked back to Uncle Danu.

"You claim to be the uncle of this girl, but you could lie. I will not carelessly give the girl who is in my hands to other people! Moreover, to those of you who I don't know who you are!" The man replied curtly and coldly to Uncle Danu. Then carried Ayunda into his arms.

Seeing that, Uncle Danu threatened the man that he would report it to the police. But the man did not listen to what Uncle Danu said. Uncle Danu grabbed the man's hand, then threw a punch towards the man. But he managed to dodge it so that it made his body sway and fell to the ground with Ayunda.

The man covered Ayunda's head with his hands, causing him to dislocate it and wound it.

Ayunda slowly woke up because of the impact and saw her uncle.

"Un-uncle.?!" Ayunda called softly, she made the man surprised.

"So it's true if that man is her uncle?!" thought the man.

"You heard that?!" Uncle Danu snapped at the man.

Uncle Danu did not want to make a big deal about this problem anymore, because he saw how the man protected Ayunda when they fell.

"For this time being, I forgive you!!" Uncle Danu said while taking Ayunda from the man and calling a taxi to go back to their house.

While the man was helped to stand up by the residents who saw him.

"Is that girl all right?" asked the resident who helped him up.

"It's okay! She is now safe because she is with her family!"

"They just misunderstood, even though you have good intentions to take care of that girl! I saw you following her a long time ago, I thought you were a bad person, but you turned out to be a good person." said one of the residents, and that made the man feel ashamed because he was caught following a girl.

He himself did not know why he had followed Ayunda, even though he had intended to return to his apartment. But remembered that the girl was walking alone and also being so sad made him feel a little pity.

Moreover, he was very surprised when he saw the look in Ayunda's eyes when she saw the money in her hand, which made Ayunda cry like that.

In that man's mind, Ayunda was a poor girl who was very sad, even though in reality Ayunda was indeed a poor girl.

Uncle Danu was about to bring Ayunda back home, but he saw Ayunda who was so pale with a weak body. Uncle Danu asked the taxi driver to take them to the hospital.

Arrived at the hospital, Ayunda received treatment from a doctor. While waiting for Ayunda, who was being cared for by Uncle Danu, he called his wife, Aunt Rose.

Aunt Rose immediately came to the hospital after hearing her husband's words.

On the way to the hospital, Aunt Rose thought of how to pay for Ayunda's hospital fees, their money supply was also running low, plus they had to pay for Ayunda's college and now hospital fees.

Aunt Rose thought of an idea, before going to the hospital, Aunt Rose called someone and asked to meet.

After Uncle Danu waited for Aunt Rose for two hours. finally, Aunt Rose came, but Uncle Danu was surprised to see the figure of a man who followed his wife.

"Is not that?!" muttered Uncle Danu in surprise.

"Good afternoon, dear! This is Mr. Jemi, the secretary of Mr. Danuarta!!"

Obviously there was no need for introduction anymore because Uncle Danu knew who that man was.

But Uncle Danu's question was … why was he here? Ayunda had not answered to agree to marry the old man, but Secretary Jemi was here.

Uncle Danu grabbed Aunt Rose's hand to talk privately.

"Why is he here?!" asked Uncle Danu in a slightly displeased tone.

Aunt Rose chuckled at chuckled at Mr. Jemi. Then pinched her husband's waist.

"Lower your voice. What else if not to help Ayunda to pay off her father's debt and also this hospital fee!!" Uncle Danu was so shocked to hear what his wife said.

"Are you crazy?!!" Uncle Danu snapped to his wife, but Aunt Rose did not care.

"It's up to you, this is definitely the best way for Ayunda right now!! Before they find another girl and leave Ayunda, that's when your beloved niece will be sold to a prostitution place by that evil loan shark!!"

Uncle Danu immediately gasped at Aunt Rose's words that were so cruel. But what his wife said was also true, if this opportunity were lost, then Ayunda's future will fall apart.

It was better for her to marry the old man, the important thing was that he can make Ayunda's life more fulfilling because Ayunda was not used to hardships.

All this time, Ayunda suffered enough, lived in poverty because she was a rich girl who was spoiled in the past.

Aunt Rose, who saw her husband who was silent, knew what he was feeling and hugged him.

"I'm doing all of this for Ayu!!"

Uncle Danu's heart melted and agreed with his wife's actions.

Secretary Jemi paid all of the hospital fees, and Ayunda was transferred to the VIP room.

All of Ayunda's needs were there and the best treatment was provided.

On the results of the doctor's examination, Ayunda only had a common fever, and her body was weak due to hunger.

Luckily Secretary Jemi wasn't in the room, so he didn't hear that embarrassing thing.

A few moments later, Ayunda began to regain consciousness and then opened her eyes. She could vaguely see the faces of her uncle and aunt.

They were so happy that Ayunda finally regained consciousness after nearly two hours of being unconscious.

"Ayu, finally you're awake, dear? Aunt is very happy."

Ayunda smiled at what her aunt said. She thought her aunt and uncle would be angry.

The next day, Ayunda's body started to improve.

Ayunda even really wanted to go home, but Aunt Rose hadn't allowed it because her body condition was not too good.

Ayunda's aunt and uncle were sitting in Ayunda's room to talk about Ayunda's marriage.

Aunt Rose was peeling apples for Ayunda. It made Ayunda very touched because she frankly missed the figure of a mother.

The tears that dripped from Ayunda's eyes, made Aunt Rose feel discouraged, but this must be done.

"Honey, auntie knows how you feel. But this is not the time to be sad. You still have responsibility and there are only 10 days left."

Ayunda lowered her head and cried again remembering her family's debt.

Aunt Rose hugged Ayunda, while her uncle couldn't take it anymore and then came out of the room.

After Ayunda calmed down again, Aunt Rose continued her words.

"Listen, Ayu, you know that your aunt and uncle really love you. We don't mind if you're staying at our house all this time, we even helped to pay for your college fees. Aunt did not mean to bring up all of that or ask for a repay from you, dear." Aunt Rose said while holding Ayunda's hand.

"Look, Ayu, you're in a VIP room right now. And the person who helps us with hospital administration costs is Mr. Danuarta, your future husband."

Suddenly Ayunda was shocked and let go of her aunt's hand.

"Aunt, did you...?!"

Ayunda's tears returned to dripping.

Aunt Rose knew how Ayunda was feeling right now.

"Forgive aunt and uncle, Ayu. Aunt who went to meet Mr. Danuarta. Because if this opportunity is lost, and they are looking for another woman, you will be taken away by the loan sharks and sold to a nightclub as a prostitute. Your life will be destroyed, Ayu. Aunt and uncle were forced to do this."

Aunt Rose lowered her head with tears falling to the floor.

Ayunda didn't know what else to do.

Should she really marry a man whose age was so far apart from her, which was 60 years old?
