Married Because of Ijbar

Chapter 60

Early in the morning, Katia had already knocked on the door of Maula's room. His intention was to help the girl to get ready, before she left for the office.

“Dek, you took a shower, right?” katia asked after Maula opened the door for her.

“Why, Brother?”

“Come, Brother help put your makeup on.”

At first Maula refused because it was more comfortable to appear without makeup, but Katia convinced him that today it looks a little different. Until finally he allowed Katia in and made her really like the king's daughter.

A smiling Maula looked at her own face in front of the mirror. “Still, sister, I've been made this beautiful,” she said as she turned her head to face Katia.

“You are beautiful from there, Kok. It's just light make-up. Yes, let's change clothes first.” Katia was in a bit of a hurry because before coming to the graduation event, she had to work first. His eyes turned to the pink all-round box on the bed that was still a mess.

“That's what box? Shirt, huh?” while walking to get it.

“No, Brother. I don't wear that. In the closet there are still many new dresses that are used and I can use again today,” he said as he stepped into the storage cabinet. While she was looking for the right clothes, Katia opened the box containing a pretty shirt and a pair of very pretty pink shoes.

“I pack this aja,” while showing the clothes he took from the closet.

“Try, sister see.” Katia stretched the shirt and frowned. “According to Sister ...” Katia put the shirt on and replaced it with a pink kebaya that she immediately attached to the body of Maula. “It's much nicer. Wear this, huh?” Katia put the shirt into Maula's hand for her to wear immediately.

“No, Brother. Want that one,” reject Maula while again reaching for her old clothes.

“No, no. My brother disagreed. That's an old model. This one is just use now.” He pushed Maula's body into the dressing room.

With little force, Maula went to the dressing room to change her clothes.

After making sure Maula could wear it herself, Katia preferred to wait for him in the dining room. A few minutes passed, the arrival of Maula to the dining room, getting endless admiration from Katia and Bik Sulis. Even Neneng and Mbak Tina also praised.

“Aduh, Enon. If Neneng guy, surely Neneng dreamed Enon's face every mallem, I swear!”

“Congratulations, yes, Non? For graduation and also his achievements. Keep up the spirit for the future, Okay.” Tina smiled as she clenched her palm to encourage the Maula who still had to go the next level.

Another case with Bik Sulis, he was moved to shed tears. As he approached, he continued to stare. Suddenly he remembered the dead parents of Maula.

“Loh, Bibik kok, cry?” asked Maula while frowning. She immediately hugged Bik Sulis before her cries became broken.

“Bibik remembers Mr and Madam, Non. Enon is very similar to them.”

“Bibik don't make me cry now, Bik. Later my make-up faded, loh.”

Bik Sulis wiped his tears and returned a smile. “Iya, Non. The aunt no longer cries. Don't be sad because it's a happy day.”

If all knew, the greatest sadness that was in the heart of Maula that she could not tell anyone. His face should be firm and smiling. Because this is a process to make it a strong person and able to stand alone.

“Yes already, yuk. Eat first.” Katia took him to sit down for breakfast.

“Yah, Brother. Later my lip can fade dong. Eat it later ajalah, not hungry, kok.”

“Can't do that. makeup can still touch up but an empty stomach should not be delayed, dear.” Until her efforts succeed, Katia persuades Maula. However, his hand stopped because his phone kept ringing. He had ignored the call from last night but this morning was still disturbing. He seemed annoyed to speak Sasak when he received the call. After this was possible, he decided to change his mobile number for the sake of peace of life.

“Who, Brother?”

“Nobody. Just old friends.” There was a restlessness on his face, but he immediately wiped it off with a smile. “This morning, Anter brother you were just the first time, yes. Abis finished his new job there again with Mr. Aldi, a bit of luck.”

“Nothing, Brother,” replied Maula after finishing her breakfast.

“Mafin, yes. There is an important meeting about.”

“I'm not papa. Relax,” firmly Maula to remove a little regret on Katia's face.

However, he had to wait a little while when he saw Rere who was in the midst of the worst guest in his life. The maula approached those who were struggling near the entrance.

“Re, what is this?” He patted Rere's shoulder amidst the crowd of passersby. Rere's face only glared towards the middle-aged man who was none other than his own father. Maula understood Rere's current feelings. How much he hated his father who he had once hoped to come with his mother at a time like this. Everything changed. He became the only person that Rere did not want to see on this earth.

“Re, this is a happy moment for us, for you especially. Calm your heart. Don't argue here,” Maula whispered as she looked at her noisy surroundings. “Take your Papa there. Before the table there was a ngisi.” Maula pointed at the table that some guests had just left so that no one had occupied it anymore.

Maula had not yet moved, she was still watching Rere's steps, until she sat down at the empty table.

Many times his father congratulated him with a sincere look. However, to apologize, he knew enough himself because Rere could not possibly forgive him.

“Whatever, you are still Papa's daughter. Papa just wanted to congratulate you on your graduation. You don't have to forgive Papa because this must be hard for you. Enough Papa to talk, because Papa knows, you don't want to talk to Papa.” anymore

Rere and his father just sat facing each other. Not a word was said from Rere's lips. There was no desire to talk or see his face. However, he did not want to ruin this happy moment by expressing anger at the wrong time. It will only make everyone know how much his family is no longer intact.

Maula was still standing near the entrance. He looked around, his lips smiling and feeling the happiness that emanated from the look of his friends' faces. His eyes occasionally stared outwards. I hope someone comes to congratulate him. His mind was somehow anchored where, to the point of not realizing that some people accidentally shook his shoulders as they passed by in the vicinity.

“Aww...” Ringisan Maula marked that she had already woken up from her daydream.

“M-sorry, Deck. I accidentally,” a man nudged Maula's shoulder quite hard because Maula's position slightly blocked the road at that time.

“Dec is okay, right? I'm hustling. Again sorry, yes.” He cupped his palm while preparing to continue his steps.

Maula nodded as she rubbed her shoulders. “Iya, yes .. please,” while letting him in.

He was still looking at the man with a sigh, his lips suddenly wrinkled and then looked down. Until it was heard that the MC was reading out the arrangement of the event that was almost to its peak.

*It seems, I'm the only one standing alone at this graduation ceremony*.
