Grandpa's Choice Man

Our Secret

The days after the wedding, Tiara and Rama lived it with their respective busyness. There are rarely meaningful conversations. Sometimes, every time they cross paths as if they are struggling or pretending to be busy with their cellphones. In fact, even sleeping they are still separated from the bed, even though it is still in one room. Sure, Tiara sleeps on the bed and Rama sleeps on the sofa.

Bu Ina was puzzled at the thought of how to clear the distance between Tiara and Rama. Initially, he understood because they had never known before so it might take some time to adjust. What's more, Rama's attitude that seemed indifferent and cold also likely made Tiara more awkward. However, after a month of marriage, there was no change. He also felt this situation could not be allowed to drag on again and there must be something repaired

One morning, Tiara was very busy preparing books and supplies to be brought to campus because the lecturers who taught at 15:00 changed the schedule suddenly to 07:30. The change of schedule was only revealed when it was 06.00. Many times he cursed his lecturer who changed the schedule so suddenly that he was in a hurry.

While descending to the first floor, Tiara saw Bu Ina and Rama were already waiting for her at the dining table. Tiara immediately joined them and set her breath to calm down.

"Where are you going? He said lunch, honey?" ask Bu Ina astonishment.

"Change the schedule suddenly, Ma. Three o'clock should be replaced by half-eight. Duh, it's so hurry," Tiara replied as she placed the bag next to her chair.

"Just a minute, Mom goes back first. I almost forgot something. You guys eat first. Later let Mother accompanied by Bi Siti is okay," said Bu Ina while standing from her chair.

Tiara and Rama ate in silence. Just heard a few times the clanking of spoons, forks, and plates clashing. The atmosphere in the dining room became more tense without the presence of Bu Ina.

After Tiara and Rama were about to finish their breakfast, Bu Ina with a big smile drove away the gloom in the room. Tiara could finally breathe a sigh of relief seeing Bu Ina smile so sincerely. Bu Ina brought two small food containers containing pieces of dragon fruit and apples. Bu Ina immediately put one prayer in Tiara's bag and another in Rama's bag.

"Your mother bothered everything. If you want also Tiara can prepare itself really," said Tiara feel awkward.

"It's okay. Mama is happy to prepare provisions for you. So Mama has a busy life besides eating, sitting, and sleeping" said Bu Ina chuckling while starting her breakfast.

"Mama just rest. Don't get too tired" Rama suddenly said.

"No, Rama. If the rest continues even the body aches," denied Bu Ina.

After she finished eating, Tiara brought her dirty dishes and glasses to the kitchen. Then, he told Bu Ina and Rama to go to college because the time had shown at seven. Tiara walked quickly towards the garage.

Tiara was stunned to find her motorcycle tire deflated. Tiara was upset and confused because she had misfortune and if she had to invite the workshop people too long. Which makes Tiara wonder that the motorcycle tire is still fine yesterday, it could be suddenly deflated. As the day wore on, Tiara was lazy to think about the cause behind the incident and decided to book an ojek online.

Before Tiara ordered, she was suddenly startled by the male deheman behind her. That is the voice of Rama. Tiara turned around and found Rama was already staring behind him. He also raised his head to see the face of Rama because he was only 157 cm tall and Rama was 180 cm tall.

"Why is it still here?" rama asked still with his cold attitude.

"My bike is leaking like. This just wanted an ojol message," Tiara replied scowling as she turned her gaze to the phone again.

"Come," Rama flat.

"No need. Our direction is different. Brother just leave there," Tiara refused kindly.

"Udah. Come on!" force Rama while walking towards his car.

Tiara flinching. This was his first time going to college delivered by Rama. She suddenly pounded should both in the car with her husband because of course their distance will be closer than when in the room. Although Rama is still very cold and indifferent, but Tiara has started to get used to his attitude.

"You late?" rama asked in the car.

Without answering Rama's question, Tiara walked up to Rama's car and opened the back door of the car.

"Front. You think I'm the driver" tell Rama to still hold on to his flat tone.

Tiara closed the back door and circled the front of the car with her sour face. He was upset with the attitude of Rama who was still that cold when they had been together for a month. Quietly, he expects the attention of Rama like a husband to the wife but immediately dismissed the thought because it might be excessive if you expect such.

Three-door refrigerator. Inner swearing.

After Tiara got into the car, Rama drove his car a bit fast so that Tiara did not get to campus late.

Behind the door connecting the kitchen with the garage, there was someone who smiled to see the departure of the couple. Who else if not Miss Ina. Ms. Ina thanked Mr. Grace, the gardener at her house. Mr. Grace deflated the tires of the Tiara motorcycle on the orders of Ms. Ina.

"The time must be in this way they want to be together," said Bu Ina to himself while rubbing his tongue.

"I have to find another way to get them closer. Children today are complicated it turns out," he added.

...****************...

On the way to campus, Tiara grew tired of just looking at the line without a single conversation. Rama is still busy driving the car with his cold attitude so that the journey feels longer than usual for Tiara who is starting to be bored.

"Abang," call Tiara looking at Rama.

"Hmm" said Rama still focused on the road.

"May I ask for help?" tanya Tiara lirih's.

"Hmm" answered Rama briefly.

"Please help keep our wedding a secret from my friends. I wasn't ready for them to know that I was married. Want it, Brother? Let this be our secret first" whined Tiara like a child asking for a toy.

"You got a boyfriend? Gebetan?" ask Rama.

"No. Don't have. I'm not ready yet. Let me adapt to the current situation. Later when it is time, of course I tell them," replied Tiara afraid Rama misunderstood.

"OK," said Rama.

"Thank you, Brother," Tiara said with a radiant face.

"Yes" said Rama.

Tiara was able to exhale with relief after hearing Rama's reply. After that, Tiara still did not complete his astonishment to see the attitude of Rama who was at home spoke that short. Just this time, he met that cute guy. She thought it was only in the novels, it turned out to be her husband. However, Tiara is very grateful for his condition because at least he can still be free to be himself and space is never limited.

Arriving at the front parking lot of the faculty building, Tiara asks Rama to stop the speed of his car. Rama pulled his car over in a large parking lot.

"Where's your lecture hall?" ask Rama.

"In building F, back there. But, just take me here," Tiara replied as she prepared the bag and book she would carry.

Rama returns his car to the faculty area without caring for Tiara's whine pleading. With a frozen expression, Rama continued to search the building that read the letter F. Tiara began patting Rama's arm and asked Rama to immediately lower it. Rama just silently ignored the whimper of his wife and continued to drive his car.

"Here you are, Bang Rama," Tiara's whine began to worry if a friend saw it.

In addition, the car used by Rama is one of the famous cars is quite expensive so it is easy to recognize and will be very striking there.

"Let's not late" Rama suddenly said.

Tiara snorted in annoyance. He also gave up because the three-door refrigerator would not heed his whining even once. He will be delivered to where. His eyes narrowed and glanced sharply at Rama.

After finding the building F, Rama immediately pulled his car over to a parking lot that was still spacious. As it turned out, the spacious parking lot was right in front of the Tiara lecture hall. Tiara patted her eel while quietly complaining.

Tiara grew increasingly upset watching the eyes of her friends were fixed on Rama's car. He would be very dead lice if suddenly out of the car they are staring at, of course their views will automatically turn to Tiara. Tiara would have been very dead lice made.

"Will not come down? Still kangen?," Rama's tease is still with his flat face.

"What the hell. Basic, Om-Om flirtatious," said Tiara looked at Rama astonishment because it could tease with a face that flat.

"Down, chatty!" tell Rama to come

"Yes already. I went to college, Bang. Thank you for your help," said Tiara extending a hand.

Instead of welcoming Tiara's hand, Rama reached into his pants pocket. Tiara was just silent to see the strange behavior of Rama. After taking the wallet, Rama took an atm card and five pieces of money fractional one hundred thousand rupiah. Then, Rama handed the atm and the money into the hands of the outstretched Tiara. Confused by Rama's attitude, he accepted while frowning.

"Abang, I want salim not for money. I still have money" said Tiara, looking at Rama, whose eyes were straight ahead.

"That's your right. Pin's wedding date. Get out," tell Rama.

"Yes already. Thanks again, Brother," Tiara replied in a slight joy.

After putting the atm and money in the bag, Tiara shook hands with Rama and kissed his hand. Then, he got out of the car after exhaling a long breath to calm himself down so as not to look nervous. Then Rama drove his car back to the office.

Sure enough, his friends were surprised to see Tiara coming out of the luxury car. Their gazes were judgmental and full of inquiry. Tiara tried as quietly as possible to walk towards them, although three of her friends were already excited to run towards her but their lecturer had already come. Tiara class students rushed into the room. Tiara was able to breathe a sigh of relief, though she had to owe her best friend an explanation.
