ANINDITA, A Tale of the Past

Meet the Aryan Family

Anindita took a deep breath. Today is the day of discussion about her wedding plans with Arya. And today he will be reunited with Aryan's extended family. Of course he will be reunited with both Aryan and Princess sisters, Aryan's children will be present at the event.

" Spirit ..." Anindita gasped as Arya's sturdy hand clasped her fingers and Arya's whispering voice rang out clearly in her ear even Arya's breath felt warm on her cheek.

Anindita smiled as she nodded her head.

" Let's get down." Arya then got out of her car. Then turned around to open the car door for Anindita.

" Tita, help you accompany Ramadan later on inside." Arya asks for ART which she deliberately brought for Ramadhan's company while she talks with her family.

Inside the Aryan official house, of course, Anindita is always warmly welcomed by Mama Arya who has been waiting in the guest room with some people who have gathered there.

After greeting Mama Arya, Anindita was introduced to the sisters and sister-in-law of Arya one by one.

" Anin, this is Arya's sister and sister-in-law. This is Arya's biggest sister named Ria and her husband Fadli. This is Arya Namamya's younger sister Lanny and her husband Eko. They do not live in Jakarta. If Ria's in NTT because her husband's army and served there. If Lanny is currently living in Penang," Mama Arya introduces one by one her son and daughter-in-law.

" Anin's mom came here by herself?" ria asked after they shook hands with each other.

" Hmmm, I'm the same as my son, Ramadan." Anindita seemed nervous about answering Ria's question.

" That I know, I mean ... The family of Mbak Anin did not come here? Don't we want to talk about Mas Arya and Anin's marriage?"

Deg

Anindita's chest felt rumbling, one question the sister of Arya just made herself stiff.

" Anindita is an orphan and has no sister and no sister. Other family ... Anin herself doesn't know where she is." Arya tried to explain.

" A kara?" ask Lanny to chimed in.

" Anin has children, she also has friends who already consider her like a brother." Arya seemed to dislike the words thrown by her sister.

" She doesn't have any relatives, does she?" Lanny rolled her eyeballs.

" Well, why did Anin break up with her husband first?" ask Ria again.

Anindita's tongue immediately tarasa kelu, he seemed difficult to answer questions after questions addressed to him. He himself was confused what to answer? It feels like he is currently in the courtroom and being charged with a wrongdoing that he did not commit.

" Anin and Rama's father separated because they were no match, there was no match in their household." Arya concocts a story to save Anindita from Ria's question.

" Mad, I'm the same Lanny asked Mbak Anin, why did Mas Arya continue to answer our questions?" ria protests because Anindita only looks silent and squeezes the dress with her fingers while for every question thrown to Anindita it is her brother who answers.

" The problem is you are asking already like journalists who are hunting the news. The light alone makes Anin groggy," complained Arya.

" Reasonable dong, Mas! I want to bring in a new family member. So it must be clear seedlings bebet weights!" lanny is defending her sister.

Deg

Anindita swallowed her saliva, even the breath she breathed felt choked in her throat while her chest felt tight to hear the word seedlings bebet weights. Because of course if the criteria used to be able to accompany Arya he is not included in that criteria at all.

" I agree with Lanny, the three things must be put forward for Mas Arya in choosing a future companion for life again. Isn't that right, Ma?" Ria supports Lanny.

" Heavy seedlings are important, but it does not fully guarantee the happiness of one's household. Your previous household is an example. So far Mama knows Anin is a good woman and very suitable to accompany Arya. So Mama personally does not mind if Arya wants to continue her intention to marry Anin." The words that came out of Mama Arya's mouth were like a cool in Anindita's heart that was feeling troubled.

" Daughter here near sits near Eyang." Mama Arya patted the empty sofa near her wheelchair.

" Daughter, does the Princess know that Papa is getting married again? And the Princess will have a new Mama?' asked Ria then after the Princess near her Eyeang.

" Ria, why discuss this matter in front of the Princess?" Mama Arya seems to protest over the question that Ria gave to the Princess.

" Daughter should also know that she will have a stepmom" said Ria.

" Daughter doesn't want a stepmom!" sergeant Princess quickly.

Deg

The light of what the Princess said made Anindita's heart again melt. It seems that right now the people who are siding with him are only Arya and Mama Arya alone. Others seem to be strongly opposed to its existence.

" Mas Arya heard it for herself, right? The princess refused!" Ria rolled her eyeballs.

" Then you want to see your Mas's widower for life?!" ketus Arya is upset.

" Daughter, why doesn't Princess want to have a stepmom?" mama Arya asked for an explanation to her granddaughter.

" Because the stepmom is evil, Eyang." The princess said the reason why she refused to have a new mother.

" Daughter, not all stepmom's evil, son. A lot of good stepmom, too." Mama Arya tries to straighten out the Princess' assumption about the bad image of stepmom.

" But the Princess' friend was often beaten with her stepmom, Eyang." The princess gave the example of her friend.

" The princess must believe the words of Eyang, yes! Not all stepmom are mean and cruel. Maybe the Princess' friend was not lucky to get her fierce stepmother. But Aunt Anin, the Princess knows for herself, right? Aunt Anin is nice, sometimes like to make the Princess' favorite blackforest too, right?" Mama Arya continues to give understanding to the Princess so that the Princess does not hate Anindita.

Finally the conversation with the Aryan family ended. Aryan sisters seemed forced to accept the presence of Anindita because Arya remained firm with her stance plus the blessing of Mama Arya.

Anindita was relying on Ramadan because she had just picked up Ramadhan who had been playing in the family room of Aryan official house.

" Don't you think about it anymore? You can, you know, get an educated woman to be Mas's wife. Mas this is the principal, what would the teachers and guardians of Mas students say if Mas married Mbak Anin?"

Anindita stops her steps as she stings Lanny's voice talking about it. His chest felt tight again, even his eyes had started to condense.

" Right, Mas. At least look for women who are equal like our family. The widow's son who only works at a flower shop. Don't be shy dong, Mas!" After Ria spoke, it was now Lanny's turn to argue.

" This mas is looking for a prospective wife who can take care of the household, take care of Mas and children. Who can always give encouragement to Mas. Who can exchange ideas. Not looking for employees until they need a high education! Anindita was already the best choice for Mas. And Mas will still marry Anin, whether you agree or not!" emphatically Arya then moved to follow Anindita inside, but when he just entered the family room he found the figure of Anindita who was standing between the door of the living room and family room with eyeballs that had condensed.

" Anin ??" Arya was surprised to see Anindita who finally could not stem her tears until the liquid melted down Anindita's cheek.
