A month passed without anything happening. During that time I did not meet Mr. Rama. But without me knowing, behind me. It turns out that mama and papa have agreed with the family of Mr. Rama. They won't pay us any more. Instead, both sides of the family agreed to directly marry us in the near future. That is, at least a week from now.
All I know is that there is only one reason. Mr. Rama agreed to marry me, but on condition. There was no big party for our wedding. There is only a prayer of congratulations and a makeshift khobul ijab.
Strangely, both sides of the family agreed with the conditions that Mr. Rama proposed. I can not say anything on the terms given by Mr. Rama. Because said mama, Mr. Rama said that the marriage requirement was only a khobul ijab that was important. Not the reception is a requirement of marriage.
Inevitably, I can only give up on what my family is talking about. I only know one thing that matters most. Mr. Rama really doesn't like to marry me. Hence, he did not want any wedding reception. So that everyone does not know that Rama and I are married.
I sat quietly in my room, looking at the bright lights below. Beside my room there is a swimming pool. It was in that window that I stood pensively aside thinking about what my mother said this afternoon when I had just returned home from college.
I think back, is it true that me and Mr. Rama will get married in the near future. Is Mr. Rama able to accept me as his future wife. Or what is on the mind of Mr. Rama actually.
Thinking about it made my head so dizzy. I can't see and can't guess how Mr. Rama. I've been trying to understand who Mr. Rama really wants my heart to have. But I always fail to guess who Mr. Rama is. Because his attitude is cold and hard to understand.
In the end, I gave all to the almighty. What will happen, that's what's best for me. I tried to forget all the thoughts that weighed on my life. I lay my body on the bed and try to fall asleep immediately.
.....
Fortunately I immediately woke up, well it was also helped alarm the truth. Otherwise I would be late today.
when I wanted to enter the campus, I saw Mr. Rama coming to the campus with a woman. The woman I did not recognize, and it was the first time I saw Mr. Rama familiar with a girl.
There was a bad taste in my heart, I felt something was wrong there. However, I tried not to think about that unpleasant taste.
"Hey, you stay here Nia. What the hell is it?" bayu said when she saw me like a sad person.
"No papa Bay," I said to Bayu.
"Lho, where is Safat, how are you not the same anyway," I said again when I saw my other friend disappear.
"Safat may not be on campus today. Because the kids have a show with their family."
I scrunched my forehead hearing what Bayu said.
"Tumben really that creature wants to join his family. It's usually the same anti-family event, too" I said.
"Well, you don't know Safat or Nia. If in the family event there are girls. It's obvious it's you, who wouldn't want that if there wasn't a girl."
"Yes too yeah, that's a bit sick."
We laughed together, and I forgot what happened. Forgetting for a moment, not forever.
We walked to the campus, because the lesson hours were still long in the morning.
"Nia, I see now that you've quite kept the same Mr. Rama. Are you willing to chase after Rama?" bayu said.
I kept quiet, which all my friends knew I was no longer aggressive. No chasing after Rama. But they do not know, I did not pursue Mr. Rama openly but secretly.
