Between, Marriage & Covenants
Part 6 (Rome )
Yuanita panicked, she got out of her little bed. Open the door leading to the balcony.
His eyes looked at the streets that were still quiet because it was too early, the sun had not revealed the color of his throne in the dark sky.
Yuanita was confused at that moment. He did not want a young marriage, especially when his college was still early in, there was not a year he studied. Yuanita is an independent girl. He went to Surabaya to study with a scholarship that he won last time.
Intentionally, Yuanita did not reply to messages from her mother. Because he was confused what to say. Suddenly, the device in his hand shook. With a nervous heart, Yuanita finally dared to pick up the phone from her mother.
[Hallo, Ma?]
Yuanita received an incoming call from her mother.
[Nita, you need to go home right now. Mama has booked a Travel ticket for you, another hour of travel to your boarding house!] answered Rani who is none other than Yuanita's mother.
[But, Ma! Nita does not want to marry young. Especially with people Nita doesn't know!] reply Yuanita.
[Mama doesn't want to know! Actually, your matchmaking has been agreed upon by your father since you were a child.] Rani.
[But, Ma ..].
Tut ....
Phone disconnected.
Drett ... Drett ....
Rani sends a message to Yuanita.
[Mama turned off the phone, because Mama knew your character was as loud as Papa. Remember that! In an hour, the travel you ordered will pick up to your address, Nita!] Message from Rani.
“Yes Allah ... How should I go?” pekik Yuanita's.
Yuanita tidied some clothes into her small suitcase. He rushed to take a shower and immediately changed clothes for fear of his travel coming soon.
Justright. Not long ago, his travel came with the sound of a car horn as a sign.
Yuanita carrying a small suitcase. The girl with glasses finally stepped foot after locking her room.
Yuanita boarded a travel car booked by her mother. Along the way, Yuanita thought about how the young man who would become her husband would become.

“Assalamualaikum,” said Yuanita when opening the door of her house.
There was a sense of kangen when he was in his big house. Yuanita was the only child of Doni Yudistira and Rani Puspita.
The house looks empty. However, not long after, bi Tuti who was a household assistant at home, approached Yuanita.
“Wa’alaikum greetings. Euluh ... Euluh ... Aya neng Nita.” Bi Tuti approaching.
“Iya, Bi. Mama there?” ask Yuanita.
“Mother again goes to the boutique she said,” replied Tuti.
“Oh,” says Yuanita flat.
Tuti immediately brought a small suitcase and brought the suitcase into Yuanita's room. Yuanita threw her tired body on the sofa.
“Nita? Have you come, Son?” said Doni who is none other than Yuanita's father.
“Yes, Pa! Not going to the office?” ask Yuanita.
“Ya, no, lah! Kan want to welcome the arrival of Papa's child,” said Doni.
“Help Nita or prospective besan Papa?” Yuanita's eyes glared.
“Two.” Doni chuckles.
Apparently, bi Tuti brought drinks and snacks for Yuanita and her papa. Bi Tuti served him on the table and passed away, returning to the kitchen.
“Pa?”
Yuanita called her papa.
“Hem,” replied Doni who again sipped his black coffee.
“Why the hell, Nita should be betrothed? Kan, Nita still wants to go to college, Pa!” yuanita persuaded her father.
“This is a deal from a long time ago, the parents of your future husband have been dizzy with some women who always come to their homes who claim to be the boyfriend of their children. Hence, they want you to get married quickly. After you get married, you can continue to go to college" said Doni.
“Lah ... Why must it be now, Pa? Nita does not know what kind of future husband Nita?” Yuanita lowered her head.
“She's handsome, Nita.” Doni chuckles.
“Dih! If not love? Just not happy, Pa!”
Yuanita's eyes glared.
“Love problem, later also as time goes on, you will fall in love after marriage,” said Doni while sipping his black coffee again.
Yuanita could not argue anymore. He finally went into the room without a word coming from his lips.
The door was pure white, now visible from his sight. He opened the door and pushed it. It still looks the same as before he left for Surabaya. The room of a girl who is dominated by pink paint like women in general.
Yuanita threw her body on a bed that was not too big, but many with teddy bears. Almost everything in the room is pink.
He let out a long breath and threw it away slowly while closing his eyes, feeling relaxed. Moreover, he missed his room so much when in Surabaya.
Gts ... Gts ... Gts ....
The door is knocked.
“Log in!” said Yuanita who was still lying on her bed.
“Iaannggggg ...” said Rani who is none other than Mama.
Rani approached with a few Paper bags in her hand and hugged the daughter she had longed for. Yuanita has only been in college for a few months. However, his longing was too deep for that one-of-a-kind daughter.
The affectionate kiss of a mother slid all over Yuanita's face. His mother misses Yuanita. His daughter is in college outside Bandung.
“How are you, Darling?”
Rani looked and held her daughter's cheek.
“Good, Ma. Mama bring what?”
Yuanita glanced at the paper bag her mother had brought.
“This, some dresses for you, son. Try lah.” Her mother opened a paper bag with several pieces of dresses inside.
“What's this much made?” ask Yuanita.
“You choose the one you like the most, son. Later to meet your future in-laws,” said Rani.
Instantly, Yuanita's face returned moody to hear the words of the would-be-in-law. He remembered something that should be happy, but because of the matchmaking it became scary for him to hear the words marriage.
“Later tonight, they came. You're a beautiful dancer huh, son?” rani said and left.

While in Surabaya, there is Gendis who is worried because the door of his best friend's boarding room has been locked. Yuanita did forget, not telling about her return to her best friend.
Gendis took the device she had placed on the study table, to call Yuanita.
Finally, Gendis was relieved after hearing his best friend was at his home in Bandung. As usual, Gendis entered the campus. However, there is something different on this day, Gendis to the campus seems alone, because Yuanita is in Bandung.
.
“Gendis!” elvan shouted.
Gendis turned her head, “Eh ... Mas Ganteng, ono opo, Mas? (what's the matter, Mas?)”
“Cie ... Cie ... Mas Elvan started smitten with Nita ..”
Gendis's index finger pointed at Elvan's face.
“Only! I'm surprised, usually Lu pan sticky cake stamps with Markonah.” Elvan alibi.
“Hemm ... Say 'to, if miss?”
The snot ball of the eye twists.
“Serah, Lu! I'm here, I want to go to class.” Silencer Elvan.
Elvan passed and Gendis set foot in the campus corridor.
The lesson was started smoothly until it did not feel like the end of the lecture hours were over. Gendis walked and sat at a bus stop not far from the side of the campus gate.
Tin ... Tin ....
The red sports car honks and opens the door.
“Lu want to go home?” ask Elvan.
“ho’oh,” replied Gendis who was in a heat waiting for the angkot car to come.
“Byok, with Gue! I need deket boarding, Lu.” Take Elvan.
“Ndak wrong, Mas ngajakin Me?”
Gendis' forehead frowned.
“Mau, no? If you don't want to, yes!” answer Elvan ketus.
“E ... Mau, mau!”
Gendis opens the car door handle.
In the car, there was no talk at all. Gendis fell silent and Elvan focused on controlling the steering wheel of his car.
Elvan invites Gendis, actually wanting to ask about Yuanita. But Gendis is silent in a thousand languages.
Not the Markonah, not the winner. Same thing, never talk! Scream in Elvan's heart.
Until it was not felt, the red car arrived right in front of a simple boarding gate.
Gendis opens car door, “Maksih, Mas Ganteng!” gendis.
“OK!” Elvan passed away.
“Jaaahhh ... He said there was a need near my hostel, ran away 'to?”
Gendis scratched her head, astonished.
***
There was a longing in Elvan's heart when he didn't see the pretty face of the girl with the glasses. The face he always had. However, not as innocent as his face. Because Yuanita is a woman who judges and fierce in front of Elvan.
Elvan buried his body in the bed.
“Why with my heart, Lord?” Both of Elvan's hands clasped his head.
The longing that enveloped him, now unstoppable. There is a sense of wanting to get close, but he is afraid of falling in love with the cute girl.
“It is also impossible that I fell in love with Cupu!” Elvan denied his feelings.
Drett ... Drett ....
[Darling, I miss. Meet me at the Mall, will you?] The message from Ferlita.
[Okay!] Reply Elvan.
“From on I to mind keep the Markonah, better I unplug!” grouse Elvan.
Elvan rushed to take a shower and put on a t-shirt and jeans not to forget he was wearing sneakers and wrapped the clock on his arm.
.
“Hai, Darling.” Ferlita hugs Elvan.
Elvan smiles.
Why am I now so lazy to return the hug from my own girl? ask in Elvan's heart.
“Honey, eat, yuk? I'm hungry!” Take Elvan.
“OK! But shopping later, huh? I have sincerized one of the bags I want,” said Ferlita in a flirtatious tone.
“Iya.” Silencer Elvan.
For Elvan, money is not a problem. He does not count on spending money on his stashed girlfriends. Perhaps, because he had never worked, so had never felt tired of pouring sweat out for the money made.

Ting ... Tongs ....
The sound of a bell being pushed
Time shows at seven o'clock. Yuanita has also dressed up, she prefers to wear natural makeup. A short dress under the knees that was light blue he had been wearing.
“Rani ...”
Widya hugged her friend who had not seen her for a long time.
Meanwhile, the fathers prefer to chat and relax on the outside terrace while enjoying a cup of coffee and exhaling cigarette smoke.
Rani also reciprocated the tight hug of her best friend, “Udah long yes, Wid. We didn't meet? How are you?” ask Rani.
“Good. Where's my manpita?” Widya to the point.
“Oh ... Yes, I'll call my only daughter. Please sit down first.” Rani passed away.
Widya smiled.
Rani goes to her daughter's room. Yuanita was sitting on the bed with mixed feelings. Atara wants to pursue her dream and grant her parents' request for an arranged marriage.
“Nita ..” Her mother's voice called her name.
“Case, Ma,” replied Yuanita who sounded from inside the room.
'CKLEK!'
Rani opens the door to her daughter's room. “Loh ... Why sit here, honey?” ask mama.
“Why?” ask Rani again.
“Nita confused, Ma.” Yuanita.
“Why?” ask Rani.
“Bingung with this matchmaking,” said Nita.
“What about this matchmaking, Mama and Papa happy?” timpal Yuanita again.
Yuanita looked at Rani's face with an inexplicable feeling.
Seriate..
