METAPHOR OF YOUNG LEGISLATOR LOVE

Don't Say Meysie's Name Again

After the Adhan shubuh reverberated, they got up and took ablution water. Ryan immediately put on a face for Rani, then they prayed together. As usual, after the second greeting, Ryan turned his body until they sat face to face so that Rani could kiss the back of his hand even though using the left hand because Rani's right hand was still sore and Ryan peed at Rani's forehead. After that they dissolve in their respective do'a.

"Mas, can Rani come to work today?" asked Rani doubtfully. Rani is the type of person who can not be silent and only perform monotonous activities.

"No way" replied Ryan firmly.

Hearing her husband's answer as if it could not be bargained anymore, Rani just pursed her lips.

"Aren't you on vacation?" seeing his little wife pouting, Ryan so not hearty.

"can anyway. Seven days. But Rani never once all day just silent at home," said Rani sad.

"As a married woman, you have to get used to being at home more than outside. Now you have a husband that you have to take care of and obey," even though Ryan does not want to curb and limit Rani, but she felt she had to make Rani understand that in addition to her responsibility as a trustee of the people, she also had to carry out her duties as a good wife and mother for their children later.

Rani lowered her head silently, her eyes glazed over until her defense finally collapsed and could not hold the clear crystal at the end of her eyes. The thing Ryan said that actually makes Rani not ready to get married because her free soul still wants to make Rani fly high.

"You know what kind of girl you are. I've read all about your gait, what you've done, and how the outpouring of thoughts you often write. He also knows that your free spirit makes you not ready for marriage. Right?" said Ryan.

Rani just nodded. Ryan really knows all about Rani.

"Mas promised, will not restrain you, and will continue to let you act like you have always shown. In fact, Mas wants to be near you so that Mas can strengthen you more, like you who will also stand beside Mas to make Mas become a better man. But, I'm asking for just one of you. Never forget that you are a wife who will someday also be a mother to our children. So for yourself for all the tasks attached to you. Youunderstand?" Ryan continued softly.

Rani just nodded, not saying anything.

"For your childhood, give that time to your husband. We need to talk a lot. We need a lot of time together. Wait until your cut is up and your hands are healed, and then you go to work. Okay?" Ryan spoke while stroking Rani's back many times, then grabbed her.

"Today we go to Mama Titania's house so you don't get bored. You want to?"

Rani just nodded happily.

After Ryan bathed Rani like last night, they went down and saw Bik Tum already preparing breakfast at the dinner table.

Ryan took a plate, scooped up the rice along with side dishes and vegetables then fed Rani and her own mouth in turn.

"Oh mesraanya. Den Ryan is very fond of Non Rani. Bik Tum has never seen Den Ryan like other women, you know Non," suddenly Bik Tum teased them while putting two glasses of mango juice on the table.

"Emang Mas Ryan never brought his girlfriend home, Bik?" rani asked while glancing at Ryan. Ryan who glanced at meek, still fun scooping food into his mouth, then scooped it again and directed to the mouth of Rani.

"Mistress, Den Ryan doesn't have a girlfriend Non," replied Bik Tum, smiling and straight back to the kitchen. Ryan still didn't respond.

"Mas Ryan never told me about Meysie with Mom and Dad?" ask Rani after Bik Tum passes.

Seeing Ryan's reaction when Meysie's name was called, Rani just pursed her lips, I don't know what she was thinking. While Ryan, looked at Rani's facial expression with a smile that was difficult to interpret.

The POV

When Mas Ryan didn't want to hear Meysie's name called, I had to know enough that it was very special and still held tight in his heart.

It was possible that every hearing of the name made him come back to the sweet memories they had gone through. In fact, I think the longing for Meysie's presence still accompanies our marriage. If not, why don't you hear that name?

Maybe if I could hear the inner voice of his heart, I would understand that Mas Ryan still held a taste for him, even though we were both now.

At first, I thought that love had grown between us. Because so far, Mas Ryan has treated me well. Very good even. Until I almost floated up, giving rise to a glimmer of light in the space of my heart that had never even filled another name there. Is this love? I don't know. But whatever it is, I'm gonna let it fade away until I erase it.

Even though we're always together now, I can't possibly allow myself to lean more and more on him. I don't want to regret, if one day Meysie will really fill her days again, and in the end I have to go.

But why would Mas Ryan have to treat me this well if Meysie's name still meant that much in his heart?

Ryan POVs

Honestly, when Rani mentioned that name, I asked myself. Why doesn't my heart shake like it used to? Has Rani really kicked him out of my heart and replaced him to take control of every space there is?

I was astonished too. There never was another name that filled a special space in my heart other than Meysie. But when Rani says her name now, why am I afraid that it will hurt Rani and put some distance between us?

Really, I was really afraid that name would hurt my wife. So I asked him to never say that name again. Although I don't know what my wife feels like to me, I just want her to be the only name that fills all the heart space I have.

Please, Arania Levana. Remove that name from your memory, for only you will accompany my life, now until later. Let the name go away from our lives, for it is only me, you who will be us forever, until the soul will one day separate from the body.

I love You Rani's. You really made me fall in love.
