Khanza and Gracio

74. Disappointment of Khanza

Rara and Rangga arrive home after Isya. Rangga drove it all the way inside. They found everyone gathered in the living room. Rafa, Ara, Nesa, Cio, and Raka. They gather to wait for Khanza's return after Cio says that Khanza already knows their marriage. Cio said Khanza's attitude was in response to the unknown marriage. Very sad, disappointed and even angry.

That's why they gathered to wait for Khanza's return to accept all forms of Khanza's disappointment in them.

"Assalamualaikum.." said Rara and Rangga as soon as they saw them.

"Waalaikumsalam" they said, but what was so clear was only the sound of Rafa and Ara.

"Khanza's home yet?" rafa asked with a sweet smile. Likewise with the others, except for Cio who stared flatly at the two.

Rara did not reply, just staring at them one by one without expression. His heart was mixed as he recalled that marriage.

His silence did not escape their attention. Because usually Khanza will greet his parents and older brother.

Rangga immediately approached Rafa, Ara and Nesa. I shook the old man's hand. He also greeted the others.

"I drove Rara home. Sorry Om, auntie, we're home tonight!" said polite. Actually, he had invited Rara home early, but Rara did not want to. Rara still wanted to refresh her heart and mind. Rangga told Rafa this through a message. After Rara's heart calmed down she took the girl back home.

"Thank you for driving Khanza" said Rafa representing the others.

"Then I'll go home, Om."

"Send hello to your papa!"

"Tante also sends greetings to your mama yes, say aunt waiting for her arrival here! Aunt misses your mama!" sideline Ara with her trademark gentle smile.

"Yes Om, aunt, I will tell you" said Rangga. He looked at Ryu who seemed to be sitting tensely, staring intently at him. Rangga gave a smile to him. Then I approached Rara"I went home first," she said. Then bring her face closer."Remember my message" he whispered with a blink of an eye.

"Heart on the road. Go straight home, don't crawl anymore" said Rara.

"Siapp mom" said Rangga. Because Rara is like her mother who often sends messages like that.

Their close proximity was enough to make Ryu growled. He was getting more and more unsettled in his seat. Raka's touch in her hand made her startled. Stopping the hot turbulent blood flow in his body. He looked at his sister. Raka smiled gesturing with eyes to calm down.

Rangga immediately turned around and stepped away.

After Rangga's departure, Rara stepped up to walk to the top.

"Darling, come here for a second!" rafa said stop her steps.

"Papa and mama want to talk to you" Rafa said again.

Rara turned. Look at them.

"What about marriage ?" look at them one by one.

"Darling....!" Rafa's nervous

"What kind of marriage is papa? A marriage that Rara didn't know at all" she said back.

"Rara is disappointed with you all! Rara didn't want to talk about anything," he said staring intently.

All stunned and gasped.

"Dear, forgive us! Please listen first." concluded Ara sadly.

Rara sighed sadly."Mama, please appreciate Rara's wishes. Rara doesn't want to hear anything" Rara said immediately. He stepped back, but he stopped Rafa.

"Darling, we have to talk let it all be clear and you know. Listen to our explanation!" said Rafa.

"Explain what pa? If someone wants to explain why not first? You did something important in Rara's life without asking first. And even hid it this long?" rara said sadly with trembling lips. Her eyes glazed over Rara sobbing.

"You married Rara when you were in school. You guys aren't thinking about Rara's future?" he said back with tears flowing.

Cio stood up."All brother deck's fault! The brother who wants our marriage. Brother asked Daddy and Mama Ara!" said interrupting.

"Shut up, don't talk anymore. You're all the same! Rara doesn't want to argue anymore. Rara was tired of taking a break" she said again as she swept her tears across her cheeks.

All were silent, not speaking.

Rara immediately walked up the stairs. But his steps stopped again because he remembered something. He turned around and looked at them one by one."The marriage remains your secret. Rara doesn't want everyone to know. Especially the school and friends of Rara's friends" he said back. The gaze stopped on Cio. Look at the man for a moment. The restless one was not calm in his seat with a chaotic look on his face.

Rara immediately turned around and stepped up the stairs running upwards.

"Khanza....!" call Ara to chase. But stop Nesa.

"Already Ra. We don't push it too much. Khanza is very young to respond to what happened. He's still young. Mistakes are on us too. Who was not immediately honest with him. It's natural that he's disappointed in us. Leave him alone first." said Nesa.

"But sister Nesa, what if Khanza doesn't accept their marriage." Said Ara again. She approached Cio, staring sadly at the faces of her beloved niece as well as her late husband.

Cio immediately held the woman's hand."Ante don't worry. Khanza may be disappointed and angry at us at this time. But I'm sure Khanza didn't refuse our marriage" Ryu said, smiling to calm Ara down. Ryu is convinced by his words, by seeing their wedding ring on Khanza's ring finger that is still attached. If Khanza refused and did not accept the unknown marriage, Khanza would have taken it off and returned it to him.

"Tante also hopes so son." - Ara was sad. He stroked Ryu's arm.

"There's no way Khanza would have refused the marriage. Khanza loves Cio very much. Remember their breakup that made him suffer for a dozen years? Khanza can't live without Cio's brother. Khanza's attitude was like that because he was too shocked and shocked. I'm sure his heart will get better if he calms down." Raka said.

"Raka's right, honey, you don't keep thinking of Khanza. You are pregnant. I don't want to happen to you! You better take a break. I'll talk to her again" said Rafa to Ara.

"Yes Ante, later Ante stress. I don't want anything to happen to Ante and my sister-to-be. I'll talk to Khanza and get things done. Ante don't worry, everything will be fine" Cio said as he stroked Ara's stomach. Calm the sad Antenya with the attitude of Khanza.

"Talk everything well. Khanza was a child to understand things like this" Nesa said.

"Yes ma, I understand. Instead, mama returned. Mama should rest too. Or is mom just resting here?"

"No, mom just go home. Your sister will sleep alone if you stay here. Mama has a job tonight! Ra. You also need to rest. Don't think of anything. You just recovered from your bleeding" Nesa said.

Ara nodded."Yes brother. Brother Nesa heart hearts out on the road."

Nesa's leaving soon. Raka headed to her room. Rafa and Ara also went to their room. Cio went upstairs and stopped right in Khanza's room. Long Ryu stood pecking with his own feelings, staring at the closed door leaf. He wanted to knock and come in. But he must keep Khanza's feelings from getting disappointed and angry at him. Ryu immediately went downstairs to work on something. Better to let Khanza to himself and think.

At nine o'clock in the evening Rara went into her parents' room. His mother was reading the Qur'an. His father was working with some files and a laptop in front of him. Both of them sat on the sofa.

"Khanza?" said Ara. He immediately ended his sentence.

Rara approached, kissing the hands of her parents alternately. Keep lying on Ara's lap. He stroked and kissed his mother's stomach.

"Sorry, Rara was not polite with papa, mother and aunt Nesa!" said Rara. Because the emotions that had mastered him made him not greet his parents when he came home earlier. Since childhood, his parents have always taught them manners. To respect and appreciate older people.

Rafa and Ara smiled hearing that. They had expected Khanza would have realized that.

Ara stroked her daughter's hair gently.

"We know, baby, it's okay" said Ara.

"Rara didn't even say hello to Baby's sister! Hopefully Baby's sister is not angry and admire Rara's brother who does not love her" said Rara back with regret."How are you, little brother?" sapa Rara stared and stroked her mother's stomach.

Next to them, Rafa smiled again at his words. Although he was busy with work, he still focused on hearing the chatter of his wife and child. It is true that this daughter is very young, even still called a child to be able to understand the problem of adult problems. Especially in response to their marriage. At the age of a few months and 17 years, still in school but married and have a husband.

"His baby sister will be fine if your mother's heart and mind are good and healthy! Can't be tired, tired, a lot of thoughts let alone stress" said Rafa softly.

Rara breathed heavily upon hearing her papa's words. He knew his father said that. That means her mother is not okay at the moment for what happened. Dizzied and burdened at the thought of her attitude responding to her marriage to Ryu.

"I'm sorry Rara ma.....!" said sorry. Kissing Ara's belly.

"Darling, mom and dad should apologize to you for marrying you to Cio without your knowledge" Ara said slowly.

"We didn't ask because we knew you loved your sister very much. Not wanting to part and afraid of losing your brother. That's why we married you so as not to separate again. We assume you won't mind and instead are happy to be with your sister forever. And the wedding will be a happy surprise for you" Ara said softly.

Rara complained sadly."I love you the same brother Cio. Want to continue with her, do not want to part again because it is very painful.But why should we marry?"

"We won't know there will be any more women like Anggi who will take advantage of your brother by using various dirty ways to get it!" said Rafa. He drew his seat close to them, then held his daughter's hand.

"Darling, you know your brother loves you very much. His affection grew into admiration and love after you started growing up. He keeps you always in his heart even when you're apart. In this world there is no woman in his admiration, in his love, who is able to make him cry tormented by longing, except only you. His life is colored by you. You were her encouragement in working all this time! Khanza knows that too, right? Promise your brother will come back to you after he succeeds?"

"But Rara is still Pa's school. Rara still wants to go to college and have a mind!" lamented Rara sad.

"Darling, even if you're married, you can still go to school, and you can go to college. Your brother will not forbid you to go to school and reach your mind! Khanza see for yourself, right? For six months of marriage, your brother let you go to school. He doesn't come near you, let alone touch you. He kept your marriage a secret so Khanza could stay in school comfortably. For six months your brother refrained from approaching you even if it made him tormented and suffering" Rafa said.

Rara was pensive to hear her papa's words. There is also a truth in what his father said. Over these few days Cio started to dare to touch her. Maybe because he held back for too long because he missed him.

Three days had passed, Rara still inhabited Cio. Not talking even just saying hello. Even during the thanksgiving ceremony for her mother's pregnancy in the title, she still avoids Cio and prefers to be with Rangga, spending time with her best friend. To live the day as a teenager and a student without any marriage ties. All done so that no one suspected and knew their marriage. In addition, she also still feels insecure about being married to her brother, awkward living together with her brother like a married couple. And more importantly, he avoided Cio because he did not want to be touched because he was afraid of getting pregnant, considering he was still in school. He couldn't guarantee Cio could hold himself back if he stayed together. Because Cio is always out of control and can't bear to touch him when they're close.

While Cio is increasingly frustrated with the attitude of Khanza who avoids him and continues to inhabit him. Khanza prefers spending time with Rangga rather than her husband. He growled and angrily burned jealous flames seeing Khanza close to Rangga and ignoring her. What would their marriage be if it continued like this? What exactly is Khanza thinking? Want to continue the marriage with her or not?

Today Rara, Riri and Fitri agreed to hang out at a cafe before going home. They playfully joke while talking about their next dream after graduating from school in a few months. Fitri's eyes accidentally saw a figure he knew.

"Ra, that's not your brother, is it?" fitri.

"Sister Raka?" rara said while putting ice cream in her mouth.

"No, look at the back!" fitri said again as he advanced his chin.

Riri followed the direction Fitri looked back."It's true Ra, your cousin's brother," he said confirming Fitri's words.

Rara's face frowned at hearing the older cousin, meaning Cio or Cia. Rara immediately turned half body. Looking at the back. After looking through the investigation turned out to be Cio. Cio was with a woman. Cio's position was also behind him.

"Did sister follow Rara?" his inner.

But it doesn't seem to be. Cio probably didn't know he was here. Because Cio looked so serious talking to the woman. "Yes, that's Cio's brother. Maybe he's with his business relationship again" he told Riri and was fitri.

Looks like Cio didn't know he was here. If Cio knew he was here, it was certain that his brother would be on his side. Cio was probably on a job with the woman and had a meeting at this place.

"Ra, don't you say hello to your sister?" said Riri.

Rara turned back her upper body looking at her friend.

"No, it will be annoying" said Rara again eating her ice cream.

"Whose brother are you? His girlfriend? Very beautiful woman!" said Fitri smiling seductively."Ra, you know me and your brother. Who knows if he wants to be with me!" clap it again while tidying up her face and hair.

"You're not the tiyepnya, your physique is substandard. Look tuh, Rara's brother is very handsome and well-established, his body is proportional. You're not his taste." Riri sneered.

Fitri hissed annoyed at him.

"Ra, it looks like she's his girlfriend!"

"No, that's his business partner" Rara said.

"Business friends how they're close to it. Looky. Your sister's attitude is very romantic to him....!" said Riri who looked towards Cio.

"True Ra, your sister is so sweet. What a dream man...!" timpal Fitri's.

Rara turned around immediately. True as well, Cio seemed to be holding the woman's hand while looking friendly. The woman smiled shyly. Cio held the chin of the bowed woman. The woman's face was getting red.

Rara's heart ached seeing that scene. Upset, angry, sad, disappointed into one. His chest rumbled strongly. His eyes did not flinch looking at the couple. Rara let out a sad sigh, her eyes already glazed over. He got up from his seat and put on his school bag.

"Ra, where are you going?" ask Riri.

"You want to visit your sister, right?" Fitri asked.

"No, I want to go home" said Rara trying to hold back tears. Because right now he really wants to cry.

"Going home? we haven't been here for an hour. The meal is not finished. Mine ain't touched yet! Bentar dong Ra." said Riri.

"But I have to leave before my brother sees me here. I was lying to him saying while on the way home. Let's just move somewhere else!" said Rara hastening occasionally look at Cio. He wished Cio hadn't seen him. He immediately walked towards the exit without listening to the calls of his two best friends. Forced Riri and Fitri follow him with a feeling of annoyance.
