After Wedding (Panji And Echa)

CHAPTER 4

"Morning, Ms. Cahyadi," said Rahma, one of the orphanage staff.

"By the other hand, Rahma. What's the matter early in the morning calling me,"

"I'm sorry to bother you this morning. I know you're busy because your son wants to get married. I'd like to say that we're going to add residents to the parlor,"

"Adding residents of the parlor? meaning children? it's okay, it can be arranged the same Mr. Malik. Why tell me, you know my son is getting married soon. So I can't visit the parlor in a week,"

"Sorry, Mom. These are not children, but adult women. We don't know his name but until now he hasn't been conscious. The doctor has examined her, she says her subconscious has a trauma side. Maybe he was the victim of something,"

"Female? young or mothers?"

"Still young, Mom. Guess I'm about 20. So we asked permission to treat him until he recovered" Rahma said later.

"It's okay, Rahma. It is a pity that there is trauma. I have not been able to go there, later if after the event my son came to the orphanage. As well as introducing my daughter-in-law there," Ms. Cahyadi closed communication with one of the caretakers she set up.

Bu Cahyadi became the founder of an orphanage in one of the districts of Gunung Kidul village. Inspired when he saw one of the villages in the sub-district became a victim of the earthquake. Many children have lost both parents.

Panti established effect pak kades can not accommodate some children to live in the village hall. Bu Cahyadi was also moved to set up a small orphanage to accommodate orphans. Of course his wish was about the same husband. But thanks to Afan, Mr. Cahyadi finally agreed to his wife's wishes.

"Ma," the voice of his son was heard very close.

"Fan, are you still in casual clothes? we'll be at Theresia's soon. You're getting married today,"

Afan prostrated at the feet of his mother. The sound of crying was heard from his son. Bu Cahyadi also sat in line with his son.

"Fa,"

"Sorry, Ma. I can't marry Echa." Afan had not yet moved from prostration at the feet of his mother.

"Fan, why are you talking like this now. Why don't you refuse when we're planning an arranged marriage. Mama has no face for Echa and her mother,"

"I've talked about this a few times with my mom. Papa always forbids, you know that papa has acted can be chaotic this world," Ms. Cahyadi wiped her tears. Sometimes the two laugh at each other.

"What's your plan, son?"

"I'm going somewhere, to calm myself down for a while. While figuring out Ayla's whereabouts,"

"Do you know where Ayla is?" Afan shook his head.

"Afan has taken a leave of absence from Kalimantan. Last night Ismi's mother told her that Ayla left the house. Currently, Ms. Ismi is in an area around here. So allow it, ..."

"Why don't you try to get to know Echa? your time will be wasted searching for Ayla's whereabouts. Please think about your decision, son. Don't do anything if your heart is hot,"

Afan remained firm on his stance. He's already istikharah, in his lead not Echa. But another figure was still faint in sight. Afan was sure the woman was not Echa, as her posture was very different.

Sticking to his istikharah signal. Afan emboldened himself to reject the woman he had chosen for him.

"Ma, uh,"

Ms. Cahyadi took her hand off her son's bow. She could not yet imagine the reaction of her husband and other family.

"Mama doesn't want to know, you have to be ready. You have to take responsibility for Echa and her family. If you don't intend to marry Echa, tell her family. Don't just run away,"

...****...

"Sir Panji!" the voice of the young girl shouted in front of her grandmother's house.

"Sir Panji is handsome now? I used to fit I was still SD brother that black rada dekil. Brother must be the treatment, yes. In the city people usually if a lot of money must be a lot of care,

Oh yeah brother must have forgotten me too, right? I'm Indri Echa's cousin, who used to often ngintilin brother with Echa when playing to the square of Jogja,"

The pennant only shines horses. His body is bent parallel to the standing position of Indri. A tiny girl who may be 150 cm tall. If aligned with him and Echa maybe a little above the waist.

"Indri, huh?" Panji still remembered the figure of the girl in front. His memory is blunt.

"Hmmmm, so brother Panji doesn't remember me? true said brother Echa, brother Panji is insensitive. Same brother Echa aja brother does not remember, let alone the same me!" Indri pointed at himself.

"meaning?" Panji still doesn't understand.

"Oh sorry, brother. Mom called me.... But one thing you should know, if you work in Jakarta to find a sister. Did you ever tell Bulik Laksmi that Echa is looking for work tell you to meet,"

"Geez!" The pennant patted his eel.

After Indri's departure, Panji used batik as a guest at Echa's wedding. Not how long Panji passed with Afan who had arrived at the event site. Afan still uses batik clothes as in other invitations. Panji looked in wonder at his cousin. Then think positively that Afan will definitely change clothes in place of Echa.

Afan's family has entered Bu Laksmi's residence. All the guests stared in amazement as Echa's future husband was considered handsome. She was asked to change her clothes. But Afan even asked to speak with four eyes Echa.

"You have to be patient, you can talk after the contract" said Mr. Cahyadi.

"Important, Pa," Afan continued to urge his father.

"Then" Mr. Cahyadi

let Afan meet Echa.

The sound of an open door indicates that someone wants to enter the room.

"Echa," Afan's voice was soft.

"Sir Afan, you want to change your clothes?" Afan shook his head.

"I want to talk to you, okay?" Echa nodded and let the man sit on one of the chairs in the dressing room.

"What's up, brother?" Echa and Afan sat face to face on the bridal bed.

Afan clasped Echa's fingers tightly. The two exchanged looks. Echa felt she had no taste for Afan. But he will learn to love Afan wholeheartedly. As well as Afan, she feels she has no love for Echa.

"I'm sorry, Cha,"

"I'm sorry why, brother?"

"I can't marry you, Cha. I already have someone I love very much. And if I marry you, I'll torture you, of course,"

"What?!"

"I'm sorry, Cha,"

"Why not from the beginning Afan said that. Why is it that times like this Afan even cancels it. If mom finds out she must be very embarrassed if her son fails to get married. What people say later,"

"It's better to be sick now than later to be equally tormented" said Afan groaning while calming Echa who was still in shock.

After Afan left, Echa was crying in the room. Didn't expect it to end like this.
