I Choose to Separate

Episode 39's

"San, I've received Mahendra's love" Rianti told me when she visited his best friend's house.

"Well, good dong.I'm glad to hear it Ri" Sahut Sania.

"But I'm still doubtful and unsure of how I feel, San.After all I'm still afraid to start a relationship, I'm still traumatized, I'm afraid of failure" Rianti said.

"It's only natural that you are still in doubt.but I emphasize once again Ri, Mahendra is kind and sincere in love with you."

"Andika also used to be kind, attentive and affectionate but the truth is she was still cheating right?"

"Now think about Ri, when Mahendra will cheat on you and leave you, after almost ten years of loving you and waiting for you" Sania looked at Rianti to convince her best friend.

Rianti lowered his head and fell silent thinking about Sania's words.It's true that Sania.Rianti's words took a breath.

"Alright San, I will try to live my relationship with Mahendra" Rianti smiled.

"I'm sure your relationship will work out, you're a good match, a passion."

Rianti woke up early in the morning, he planned that starting today would bring lunch from home every day.He did not want the events of yesterday to repeat again.Karna after receiving Mahendra's love, Mahendra,his boss was like he did not hesitate to show his feelings.Finished prepare provisions for him and Andre and deliver Andre to school.Rianti prepared to be ready to leave for the office.

Rianti stood in front of the porch of his house to wait for the online ojek.A white car stopped right in front of him.From the car out Mahendra was neat with his office clothes and smiled at Rianti.

"Sir Mahendra, why did you arrive here?"

Rianti was surprised and wildly looked around him if any of his neighbors were looking.

"Ah yes, I deliberately came to pick you up" Mahendra smiled again and opened the front car door for Rianti.

Without asking any more Rianti rushed into the car, no one saw a man pick him up.

"Sir Mahendra, what are you doing?" Rianti looked at Mahendra's face unfriendly.

"I just picked you up, is there something wrong?" Mahendra started running his car.

"Wrong sir! Tomorrow don't pick me up again.I don't want any neighbors to gossip about me!" Rianti was a bit upset at Mahendra's question.

"It's only because I picked you up that your neighbors gossiped about us."

"Sir Mahendra should understand my position sir.I am a widow, what people say later, seeing me picked up by a man."

"I'm sorry" Mahendra was silent to hear Rianti call her a widow, he forgot about it.

Rianti looked at the silent Mahendra." Sorry sir, I don't mean to be angry at you" Rianti began to soften.

"What does it matter, as someone who loves you, I should be more sensitive to you.But you are no longer angry, right?"

"Yes"

"Thank God, I feel guilty, because we've just become lovers but it makes you angry" Mahendra smiled and tightened the pace of his car.

Lunch break, Rianti went from her chair to pantry.Mahendra who intends to take her to lunch to follow Rianti.

"Bu Rianti, let's go down for lunch."

Rianti was shocked and turned his body to face Mahendra.

"Ah sorry sir, I brought lunch and I'm going to the pantry for lunch."

"Oh that's so..Then can I come?" Mahendra is happy to have lunch alone with his girlfriend.

"Ah how yes.I worry that my cooking does not fit on the tongue of the father."

"It would fit" Mahendra pushed the pantry door in first.

Rianti followed Mahendra's steps and held the dishes he brought on the table.

"It looks like it's all good, but why are you bringing this much lunch? Did you plan to invite me to eat together in the pantry?" Mahendra laughed lightly.

"No! Wherever there I plan to take the father to lunch together.I bring a little, I will give it to mas Raka,OB who helped me a lot during my time here" replied Rianti quickly.

"Why aren't you happy with that face?"

"Father want to eat or talk!" Rianti started sewot.

"Ok-ok..we eat" Mahendra began to take his food.Sep a fish snapper gulai and began to eat it.But he had difficulty using a spoon.

Seeing that, Rianti took the initiative to help Mahendra release the fish meat from his durinya.

"If you eat fish, it's better to use your hands, so the meat can be taken all."

Mahendra looked at the face of Rianti who was seriously separating the thorns of his fish.

"Mirror"

"Yes?"

"You're so romantic"

Rianti raised his face to be angry at Mahendra, but suddenly he remembered the words he would live his relationship with Mahendra.At last Rianti smiled.

"It's finished, the father can eat" Rianti licked the rest of the fish sauce left in his hand.Seeing that Mahendra so wanted to be treated by Rianti.

"But I want to be bribed, so he's afraid that the roof will spill over my shirt."

"What kind of father, what will people see?"

"It won't exist, it's not a common pantry."

"Well, boss, here's your ladle."

Rianti began to feed Mahendra, but only the first bribe arrived when the pantry door opened and from behind the door Ardi appeared with a surprised face.

"Ah sorry" Ardi was about to leave immediately.

"As I imagine it's okay Rianti bu" Ardi waltzed away in a smile.

"Oh my God.how is this sir! Mr. Ardi saw us!" Rianti panic.

"Darling we just eat, why are you so panicked" Mahendra calmed Rianti by touching his hand.

"But..."

"Here you feed me again, lapar..." Mahendra opened his mouth.

"I'm hungry too..." Sudul Rianti's.

"You want a bribe..."

"No. I can eat sandri"

"Here I'm the bribe" Mahendra took the spoon and plate from Rianti's hand.

"Damn...Don't want to"Rianti held back the plate and spoon.

"It turns out that besides being beautiful, you are also adorable" Mahendra pinched Rianti's nose.

"Hendra stop seducing me..." Rianti puffed his cheeks.

"He..ha..ha..." Mahendra laughed crisply, he was really anxious.

After a relationship for almost three months with Rianti and showing there are prospects going forward, Mahendra decided to bring Rianti to meet his parents.

After working hours Mahendra approached Rianti who was tidying up his desk"Tomorrow I want to invite you to meet with both my parents.You and a beautiful groom ya."

"A-What..meet your parents?" Rianti's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes, here's proof of my seriousness to you" Mahendra sat down by Rianti's desk.

"But I'm not ready Hen, I'm afraid your parents don't agree with our relationship."

"You know a little about my parents, right.especially mom.First time you and Sania High School often come for group work.You see for yourself, my family is a moderate family, independent...so what are you afraid of?"

"Hendra.I hope you understand my position."

"You don't be afraid, I will always hold your hand."

"But Hen..."

"Don't tell me you're afraid of your status.No woman in the world would bear the status of a widow.Believe the same I'll all be fine, we'll face it together" Mahendra's words were able to convince and make Rianti confident.

***

Both of Mahendra's parents were shocked,the woman who brought her son to the house turned out to be Rianti.They had known Rianti although not close.Last they met Rianti when Mahendra was hospitalized because of an accident.They think Rianti came only as a secretary, Rianti,not more.

But today, Mahendra introduced Rianti as his future wife.

Bu Widya was very shocked to know that Rianti was a widow of one child, but he tried to hide it.Rianti could only stay still and look down.

"You have grown up Hendra, so the father handed over all the decisions in your hands.We as parents can only give support and prayers" said Mr. Heriawan his father Mahendra.While Widya's mother was silent.

"Dad, mother.thank you for your support and prayers.Hendra permission between Rianti go home first."

Rianti gave permission to Widya's mother." Aunty, Rianti said back home first" Rianti yapped at Widya's mom but she remained silent, Rianti so felt bad.

Bu Widya also did not take Mahendra and Rianti forward as Heriawan did.

"Darling.you are silent.Pity is Riantian.He thinks you do not approve of their relationship" said Mr. Heriawan as Mahendra and Rianti left.

"I don't agree, sir!" Bu Widya let out her anger which she had been holding back from earlier.

"Until death, neither mother would agree to Hendra marrying Rianti!" Widya's eyes started to look glassy.

"Already ma'am..we better rest, it's late at night.Tomorrow we talk again with Mahendra" Mr. Heriawan pulled his wife's hand slowly.

"Mom will wait for Hendra to come home!" Widya's mom pulled her hand back.

"Yes, I'm resting."

It was not until an hour that Mahendra returned home after taking Rianti home.

"Mommy's not asleep?" Mahendra sat next to his mother.

"Mother wants to talk to you right now.mother does not agree that you are married to Rianti!" Ms. Widya to the point.

"Mom, why did you disagree with Hendra to marry Rianti.Why is she a widow?"

"That's you know, Mother wonder you Hendra.Is there no more girls in this world, until you choose a widow?!"

"Mom, this is not a matter of girls or widows.It's a matter of love.Hendra can not choose on whom Hendra falls in love.Love it just comes."

"Mommy doesn't understand your way of thinking.Where are your brains on taro? Until you choose someone else's ex-girl."

"Mother should not say so.not Rianti's desire to become a widow but that's the destiny she must accept" Mahendra tried to soften her mother's heart.

"Oh God...Hendra.what will people say when you marry a widow.Imagine it mother almost crazy!"

Mr. Heriawan came because he heard his wife's voice reaching the room.

"Mom, come on.Tomorrow we talk, we better rest now.'

"Mother wants to talk now! Anyway you have to cut off your relationship with Rianti.Otherwise, you better just die!" Widya continued to scream.

" Already ma'am, embarrassed to hear the neighbors" Mr. Heriawan brought his wife to the room.

"Hendra, you rest there!" Said Mr. Heriawan while guiding his wife.

"Good dad" Mahendra walked towards his room.
