My Husband is a Ningrat

Chapters 14. [The wrong costume]

The rain so long flushed this countryside, the wind of the valley so cold it slapped my face. I was so calm and cold.

This jacket is a savior. My nose even sniffed the masculine perfume in this jacket, so fragrant that it stifled my breath.

I saw him, his eyes so deep. Here where we were sitting, we were like we were cornered by the speck of rain.

On this small bench, he looks so contrasted with the circumstances around, the red ground will definitely make the shoes dirty. If you look at his appearance now he looks like he wants a condition. Does he really want the condo, why does he make me feel guilty about driving us here. Even I'm sure he hasn't had lunch yet, why? why does he look like he makes me feel guilty and tortures her like this, my God.

I could get petitioned if he comes home from here he's got magh or his stomach acid is rising. I feel like growling. Ruffling my hair, frustrating myself with this situation.

Actually he's why, why should he approach me. He was not afraid of what would soar my heart and send it to the bottom of the earth.

"Kay.." call me.

He looked over, but was quite surprised by my call. It seemed like he was also swept away by the atmosphere.

"Yes, what?" she replied slowly, looking at me, her smile like that made me uneasy.

"You, um..." I was wondering, before I finally decided to ask him, "Are you hungry?"

He smiled even more, the more I wanted to suck my face in the clay soil. Hiding my shame, when in hindsight it was just a trivial question.

"You're hungry, not just breakfast bread and milk boxes." The answer made me want to disappear from here. Floating in the wind, going as far as possible.

"Ehm, where are you really going? Why like to go to the condangan." I asked curious.

His smile suddenly dimmed, he observed his appearance from top to bottom, "Do I look like that?"

I nodded, "So you really want to go to the condangan?"

I saw Kaysan's head shake, "So I got the wrong costume. I don't know what to wear when I see a girl."

My chest is getting crowded. I want to hit my chest. So did my laughter that wanted to explode hear him.

"Yes, you do seem to want to go. Wear batik clothes, jeans and semi-formal shoes. Or you want to be a teacher to the kids inside."

I laughed, my stomach was hardened. So from this morning he was confused looking for a suitable shirt to meet me. Ah, it turns out he's funny too. Very amusing. I think this king's son will be as sweet.

"Tomorrow to wear casual clothes only, no need to be too formal. But it's up to you, you also have to keep the image, not." Obviously, I smiled, "What makes you comfortable, just wear it, no need to hear the opinions of others."

"What if I'm comfortable with you?"

Kaysan looked at me deeply, I was stunned to hear it. I want to quickly go on the air. One roof with Kaysan made my body uncomfortable. He was unconscious, being close to him made my heart grow more and more troubled.

For a moment of silence, only the gaze of my eyes continued to look into his eyes. Dive into every reflection implied in it, the reflection of hopeful eyes.

An hour feels like a year ago, why don't I just go inside to accompany Nina. Why am I stuck with the same oxygen as Kaysan.

Linger next to him, making my legs stiff. I wanted to stand up, but my feet refused.

"You haven't answered my question."

Kaysan opened the conversation, after 15 minutes there was only silence. Even it felt like Nina's voice inside was faintly heard. It felt like it was just me and Kaysan enjoying the rain.

"Which question?" my many.

"What if I'm comfortable with you, what if you're my rib missing from a part of my body."

My hands were shaking, my body was instantly limp. Even my mouth became mute. I-I, I-I'm too scared for that. Without feeling my body gradually retreat, I forget that beside me there is no bench left.

My mind and I fell into a pile of wet children's sandals with splashes of water and mud.

"You why? You're okay, right?" Kaysan wanted to pull my body with his hand, along with that I brushed off his hand. Kaysan was quite surprised to see my rejection, "I can do it myself."

I'm trying to stand up, my pants are pretty dirty. How will it be when I get into Kaysan's car, which there will only make the interior dirty.

Nina ran towards me, "Why, Rinjani?"

Nina did not look at me, she stared intently at Kaysan.

"I slipped, Nin. Bring wet wipes, no? My pants are dirty." I asked while rolling over Kaysan's oversized jacket.

30 Minutes of teaching and learning is completed. I grabbed the jacket when the three of us decided to go home in the afternoon.

It was confirmed that the three of us were rumbling, we missed lunch. The guilt is growing. The shadow that after coming home from here Kaysan got sick haunts me even more.

His responsibilities are greater than mine, what if his job is neglected because OF ME.

"Rinjani, I'm no longer strong enough to support my weight." Nina complained while holding her stomach.

"What else am I, I am not strong enough to fill your body. Shut up, just think of it as fasting."

"But I wasn't intending to fast yet, Rinjani." Nina wouldn't lose this time if it was her business with food.

"Mas Kaysan, can we eat first at the edge of town. I can no longer hold back my stomach that was beeping from earlier."

Nina finally came out too. I saw Nina hoping, if Kaysan's car stopped in front of the diner.

"You want a baby meatball? I saw the shop when I left here."

Nina nodded quickly. "Can, can. Breed a lot, no need to join the KB program." Nina laughed, I in the back seat just shook my head at her behavior.

Located 1 km from the intersection of the city limits, the three of us arrived at the meatball shop beranak pinak.

Nina got out of the car excitedly. Kaysan and I followed Nina behind her.

Nina ordered what she wanted, two servings of baby jumbo meatballs.

Fyuhh, how is he not over weight.

"What do you want to order?"

"Bakso has one baby, Nin. My love is heavy to weigh later."

"Mas Kaysan if Rinjani is fat still want it, right?" nina asked Kaysan, I saw him nod. "Let's just say he wants to be with me."

Haven't eaten the meat yet, I've wanted to choke.

"Tuh, Jani. He does not look at the physical. So dear loh Rinjani. It's a rare opportunity." explains Nina while sipping her warm tea.

I chose silence, until the meatballs we ordered came. Smoke danced wildly in my nostrils, savory.

The three of us began to dissolve in a bowl of jumbo meatballs.

People's eyes were looking towards the three of us. It makes me uncomfortable, and so do Nina and Kaysan.

It seems they understand who the man sitting in front of me is.

We quickly finished our food.

Kaysan put one hundred thousand pieces of money on the table. He hurriedly got into his car, me and Nina throwing glances at each other. Take a small run into Kaysan's car.

"Sorry to make you uncomfortable" I said as I closed the car door.

"No, it's okay. I'm supposed to apologize, make you not enjoy the meat." Slowly Kaysan's car came out of the parking area, darting rapidly towards the urban streets.

I don't know what will happen again after this, which obviously my heart will be made even worse.

We are different, though,

We're different.

That's all in my mind.

I felt my eyes were too heavy to open. Slowly but surely my eyes began to close.
