It is very late and the course of Pak Iqbaal has just finished. I waited until I and Iqbaal left and again persuaded him to let me go to Bandung. "Sir"
"You just want to continue that one. All I remember, I've already given you an answer to your request."
"I follow my father's request if my father permits me to go."
I'm sure Mr. Iqbaal would be interested. And maybe he just asked me to make masakin or wash his clothes. Said he was expensive laundry, better wash it yourself.
"Just tell me where you're going."
"Handong, dad."
"You're not enough just for a day to muterin bandung. There must be one place in a day."
He was out to pinter. Accelerated classes from SMP-SMA and super scholarships while in college. I think my son will hit his brain.
"I want to go to Bandung, sir. If you're not allowed to cook, I don't want to cook anymore!"
"No problem, I have an appointment tonight."
"Swant! Father can go at will.
Why am I not?"
"I made an offer. Just tell me where you're going and you might let me."
I almost clicked but Mr. Iqbaal's gaze grew sharper.
"Jewish"
My great-grandson while humping. Her body leaned to the front of the table for me.
"Jude?"
".. Ardians. This afternoon, 3 o'clock"
"Have you? Why does saying that feel so hard to you?"
"Brother not angry? Can I go?"
"Ardian has anything to do with you?" "Mom should know?"
"At least if my father sees you as Ardian, I can explain everything."
And stupidly I just inget if om Teo is an ITB lecturer. What if I really ran away and didn't get permission? New marriage until yes, lur.
"Will you wait? Let me take you."
"What?"
"You take the bus or train. Too far."
And I tailed Mr. Iqbaal to his car. He pointed at the back seat of his car. Ardian's gift box a week ago.
"I found it in the bedroom closet and it wasn't mine."
"Thank you, sir. And... Sorry."
Although it may be too soon, but I am increasingly not sorry for marrying my lecturer.
At 2pm. I can only breathe a sigh of relief because I reached the gate of ITB and immediately headed to the graduation building.
"Thank you, sir. You waiting?"
"Where can I leave my wife with a man?"
I don't want to argue. I picked up the box in the back seat and immediately changed my clothes in the nearest toilet.
"Steffi?" Call aunt Yola.
"Yes? Uh, aunt Yola."
Son of Sholehah there is a way. I don't need to muter-muter nyari Ardian family because I met his Mama in the toilet.
I salim and chat for a while before we both head to the graduation building area.
There's Kevin-Dayah Ardian-who's the same photos as Ardian. Ardian is really handsome plus the toga he wears.
I when is it?
"Finally come too." Ardian.
"Sorrys. Faulty. Congratulations, Di."
"Thank you. Who's here?" Ask Ardian.
"Himself."
I'm not lying! Denger first, lur. I went to the building myself, right? Mr. Iqbaal didn't come here either.
"You'll have anterin steffi coming home. Or steffi wanna go with her aunt Dian?" Said aunt Yola.
"Ngga. Steffi went home alone."
"Ajakin steffi photos. Mama Papa was
it's." Said Kevin.
"Yes. Mama's coming home first huh?" Said aunt Yola.
"You're beautiful, today."
"Thank you. The blue dress is pretty."
I should have been half dead. But truth? I can only be embarrassed by her compliments. One Ardian hand grabbed me by the shoulder and I smiled at the camera.
"Let's walk for a second. Can you?"
"Yes. Want a graduation ceremony?"
He laughed crisply before his hand rubbed my head and my hand held the scroll of Ardian's diploma."
"Attent."
He walked up to the chair near the camera and took off his toga. Wearing matching blue suits and shirts in a knee-length dress.
"Many things I want to talk about."
He held my left hand and we both smiled at the camera.
"I am too."
"Thank you, Steff for coming."
I had a chance to see some of Ardian's friends who glanced at me enviously. I am much more envious of those who bond with the man they love.
I'm the same Ardian stopped by one of the places to eat and took a bench quite private because of Ardian's request. Select the menu and wait. Ardian continues
just look at me.
"What the hell,di?"
"Religious. Wait for the food, yeah. We just talked."
I nodded and checked my phone for example there was an answer from Mr. Iqbaal on my permission to walk with Ardian.
"So good at graduation."
"yeah,dong. After this plan to work in Jakarta alone."
"Take it! Not far."
He laughed and our order came.
"Can you start talking?"
"Can."
I put my knife and fork. Cleanse for Dengerin Ardian. He took out a brown envelope from his black suit pocket. Give it to me.
"What?"
"Picture of 'Birthday Party Bella'."
When I open. There's a picture of my yard that was beautifully arranged that day. A few photos later, Lukman's figure approached.
"I'm making Bella's gift to Lukman. Sorry
no gifts for you yet."
My heart is broken. My tears slowly filled my eyes and it was painful.
"Sorry, Di."
"I'm not angry that you're married, Stef.
I'm angry because you covered everything up and kept growing hope for me."
He took my left hand. My attention also turned to my now innocent ring finger.
Where is my wedding ring?
I took off Ardian's hand. Look for my fastening objects around the seat until there is one hand that prevents me from ducking in order to search under the table.
"What are you doing?" Ask mr. Iqbaal.
"My ring!"
I snapped a little when Mr. Iqbaal held me back. Ardian is still fixated on the existence of my lecturer. My left hand was taken by Mr. Iqbaal and his face was extinguished."
"Don't be crazy, stef!"
"So I was wearing, sir. I also just found out that the ring came off!"
I cry because half my heart hurts.
"You looking for this?" Ask Ardian.
Mr. Iqbaal immediately took my ring from Ardian's hand and took me away from there. The grip of his hand shook as if holding in anger.
"Don't see him again."
I was in the side seat of the car. Still
crying over my relationship and Ardian also careless me about my wedding ring.
