Hm...

Such is the love story of Kaysan and Mbak Jani. Who would have thought, a girl in her twenties who likes to dress uraciously now has to live her life as a Ningrat woman who every day must learn about pakem and paugeran in the palace. At first I was made difficult by his presence. But now, I-Nakula is grateful for the silliness of Sister Jani. I can meet with Rahma. My lover.

Narnia left a story that was once so beautiful that I found it hard to meld it into my memory. I was devastated when Narnia left me while I was enjoying first love with all the foolishness to live it.

I-Nakula at that time did not understand that monkey love or first love does need a lot of experience to live it. And, the experience I had with Narnia was full of teenage boys. However, Narnia patiently supported me and continued with me. Narnia slowly started avoiding me, and it got me distracted. I lost trust, comfort, and support.

Actually, I still want to keep telling you about Narnia, because there's a lot more. But Narnia was happy. And, I have to continue my life as it is today.

It's been two years, all my family's been busy with their love story. And, Madam Jani rarely bothers me with all of this, which makes me want to strangle her neck. But, I was more afraid of Kaysan. The stern look in his eyes has made me bend my knees, especially if Kaysan mas has given an indisputable order. If only, you know. Mas Kaysan is fiercer than you can see, surely you would prefer me as your idol. Um...

For the past two years, I have completed statra one education to qualify as a potential ghost. After that I tried my luck to become a new employee at one of the private banks that are still under the auspices of the company Ayahanda.

Just like Narnia. Rahma Slalu supported me in every way, including in the case of me who wanted marriage.

Rahma's age is well worth getting married. And, her parents had warned her to marry him immediately.

As for me, ha-ha-ha. I only have the courage to trust in marriage.

Many times, I secretly went to Kaysan mas to the sugar factory. Ask what adult men should do to prepare for marriage. As of right now, I was in Kaysan's mas office.

"Try explaining." asked Kaysan.

"Yes that was, Mas." I replied clumsily.

"That, what?" ask Kaysan again. His lips are high. Piss me. Mas Kaysan has caught the disease Madam Jani who must convoluted and ended up pranking me.

"Mas, comeon. Rahma is 30 years old. I-I want to marry her. Can you help me?"

"Money?"

Who would have thought, of all the brothers I have I am 'the son of a bitch' who made a request to Father and they-they to step into the household ark. Even Sasmita's mother could not believe my decision. Mother is not willing, her son who rarely asks for wishes, straightforwardly wants to get married.

Mas Kaysan chuckled, "That's how it is to be a man! Do it with determination and do not hesitate. We'll talk to Father and the other children again." Mas Kaysan patted my shoulder. He smiled, "Everything you want to ask? About the first night?"

It was true that the face of Kaysan mas already looks unfriendly, he has been holding back laughter.

"That's it later. Now the important thing is to convince Sadewa. Mas..he's sulking. He won't part with me."

Don't ask how Sadewa is now, he's grim durja. When I found out I had talked about my marriage to Rahma's brother in front of Ayahanda and mother. His dream is still far away to be able to achieve his desire to marry young or at least we can hold a marriage together, even Sadewa is still undergoing a love triangle between himself, Isabelle and Irene. Somehow, how did Sadewa do that, I don't think.

"You better go home, get some rest" said Mas Kaysan.

"I'm really expecting your help, ma'am. Like I used to expect my help to look after Ms. Jani."

Mas Kaysan laughed, I laughed too. When Kaysan pushed me out of his office.

"Later to discuss it at home. Okay, crown prince." Mas Kaysan was about to close the door of his office.

"Mas!" my spray.

"Obey mas. If not, I will gladly give up the throne of Fathers for you. And, I'll just manage the factory and make love to Rinjani. You know, Brother. Once you make love, you will be addicted." Kaysan said there is no morality. Believe me I'm caught off guard by the noises coming out of Kaysan's mas room, every night. Unless Kaysan and Mbak Jani marahan.

"Mas will give you the kamasutra book and you can imagine before practice. Later home. Okay." Okay."

I waltzed away from Kaysan's chuckling mas. Really, is it true what Kaysan said.

If you make love once will be addicted.

Almost three years dating Rahma's sister, I've never kissed her. But now Kaysan's words are poisoning my brain. Think of me running wild imagining the contents of the kamasutra book that Kaysan would give me.

The reason is, I often hear a disgusting sound from Kaysan's mas room, but for visualization, I never see it. I shuddered in horror as well as curious.

Happy reading 💚

Nakula's first part. ⁇ ️
