Andre could only hear Kiyai Maksum telling a long story about the behavior of Daniel Erlangga Wiguna.
It turns out that Daniel has made a lot of mistakes during his stay in the boarding school.
The child had dared to date the daughter of an ustad even to have intercourse secretly until the girl was pregnant.
Maharani, the sixteen-year-old village girl just bowed her head with tears in front of Kiyai, Andre and also her parents.
While Andre is in another room with strict guard from the residents and santri-santri. His face was bonyok, his body battered.
Andre swallowed his salivary. He tried to calm himself with a turbulent chest and hot hands wanted to punch the face of the Sister.
"Money is not a good solution. And this has become a disgrace that stains the face and also my good name and this boarding school. You better take care of it soon. Or we will act!"
"I understand Kiyai's feelings. The boy was really bad and I had a hard time controlling. That's why I wanted him to stay here with the goal of changing for the better. But it turns out... Hhh...! I apologize profusely, this behavior of my sister is indeed unjustified! And I accept whatever punishment Kiyai will give her."
"We'll marry the two soon. Afraid that behind us they will do the deed done by God again! I just ask, after they get married.Bring them both away from here! We are afraid of doom if we keep letting them in this clean environment!"
Andre can't be witty. Daniel really ruined his good name in the pesantren neighborhood with this incident.
But he also could not give up his hands for this situation. Inevitably Andre must agree to Pak Kiyai's advice.
Daniel and the Empress were married that day.
Once legal, Andre is forced to take the two home and live together in his big house.
"Finally...! I'm back in this house!"
"You guys let me stay here, with the record that you're no longer as troublemaking as you were at the boarding school!" threaten Andre to Daniel.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Don't do it, but let it go! And you Empress, take care of your husband! Don't let him go out and see his fucking friends again!"
The young woman who was his sister-in-law just nodded with a downcast face. He still seems to be very shocked by what happened to him.
The Maharani is very young and innocent. He was young, sixteen years old. The Empress had never set foot in the city, so she could not adapt to her present circumstances.
"This is the house key. Ient you. Take good care of your wife, because the Empress is your responsibility now!"
The only thing that is advised is to smile and nod. Daniel embraces the tiny body of the Maharani.
"Where are you going?" ask the Maharani worriedly.
"I live in Bulungan's apartment. I'll send you a cell phone so we can stay connected, Ran!"
"Sister..., so we're just here alone?" ask Daniel.
"I'll send someone to help and accompany you. I have to get back to the office!"
Daniel and Maharani can only stare at Andre until they get in his car, and disappear slowly from view.
They now occupy the old house of the Jaya Wiguna family. A house that certainly holds many memories for Andre and Daniel.
Daniel took his wife into his room. The room he had left nine years ago was still as it was.
Even all of her books and wardrobes still look neat. It seems like Andre visits a lot, or at least tells people to clean up every week.
Daniel remembered Warti. Their former household assistant.
Where is Warti? Ever since Andre and I moved to Bandung, I don't know where the woman is now. Daniel could only murmur in his heart.
"We, then how's Brother?"
"Just enjoy it, Ran! What matters now is that we're married!"
Daniel tried to calm the Empress. What a vulnerable early marriage for the two young people.
Daniel 19, Maharani 16. Both still do not understand the meaning of rights and obligations as a married couple.
Andre's the only person they'll count on, nothing else.
...SERIATE...
