My Husband is a Ningrat

Anthology of short stories [ Nanang VI ]

Two months later I was happy. The burden I felt disappeared from my nape, my steps were lighter, my smile wider.

I can breathe a sigh of relief, even I can finish the thesis together with Sadewa.

We both felt satisfaction. The bachelor's degree that we will hold makes Rinjani jealous, the mother of two children whine for help to do her college tasks. Sadewa and I laughed.

"That's why don't marry young, here's the result. Repot takes care of children, husbands, college assignments, not yet affairs in the palace." ledek Sadewa.

"I can't resist fate." Rinjani replied as she typed the task on the laptop.

The three of us were in the back room. The most comfortable family gathering place while enjoying the breeze.

"When do you guys graduate?" ask Rinjani.

"Two days left. Ma'am get me!"

Rinjani looked at me, then she nodded.

"Can. But promise, don't go to Germany. Here alone, Mother must be sad that her two children want to go abroad just to move on."

Sadewa and I threw eyes at each other.

"Why can't you? No one accompanied you at home? No one helps keep Dalilah and Suryawijaya if Mbak Nindy again the same way Mas Santosa. Huh yeah?" ledek Sadewa made Rinjani laugh.

He nodded, "Capek so you guys? Sorry Dalilah is as troublesome as I am."

Gemes.that's what I saw when Rinjani said spoiledly and said that she was indeed troublesome.

"From first! When you guys were dating, I was also the one who bothered. Nakula and I had to get in through the back door. I have to make sure your date doesn't go together with Ayahanda's itinerary to visit home." Sadewa let out a tired sigh, he laid his body on the carpet while looking at the past between me and Rinjani.

"Do you remember those days? The world belongs to both. Me, Nakula and Mommy if at home feel contracted people. We were told to be quiet." Sadewa revealed the secret behind the complicated relationship between me and Rinjani first. Focusing on the happiness that makes other people have to give up, I am selfish, and finally it has to end.

"Thank you for getting me to know the things that made me, you, us, take a valuable lesson in life. Not only about happiness, it has given me the opportunity to know myself. Dan, now. I'm trying to love myself before I love others."

The sentence made Rinjani smile, "The most beautiful and final form of love is to pray for you. I want you to be happy, I want you to have a partner who accepts me as your sister-in-law and your ex. It's hard, but it makes us strong. Like a rock!"

The three of us laughed, happily.

Two days later.

"Mother's kids are all handsome. Look mas! These guys have to be heartbroken before they focus on thesis and graduate college!" mother said to Ayahanda. The father smiled, "There is a heartbreak to encourage the future, some are actually down. Luckily, our kids chose to embrace his future."

Mother nodded and tidied the batik shirt that Father wore.

We are getting ready to go to the GOR graduation place later. But Ma'am Jani hastily approached the four of us.

"It's so hard to get to Suryawijaya." His brother to us.

Father smiled, "My granddaughter is similar to my son Kaysan."

Rinjani sizzles, then co-pawns herself in front of the mirror. Today she promised to be my companion at graduation, just like she promised when we were dating.

"Pretty has Kaysan's permission?" ask Mommy.

"Already, Mother. He said he could go, as long as after graduation I had to accompany him to the hotel, he said boss at home." Mommy smiled, "You guys really like to make us jealous. Mom, want another grandchild?" Tempta Mother. Ayahanda nodded.

"Ayahanda asked Rahma's sister to be Nakula's granddaughter!" sergeant Rinjani is quick with a clear tone.

"Please, respect us singles!" chirps Sadewa. I nodded in agreement.

The sun was already high when the five of us came to GOR which was already crowded by students and their relatives. We rejoice, today is a proof of us who have been desperately working on the thesis until late at night, do not want to eat and at the same time baperan.

The arrival of the Father certainly confiscates the attention of all humans in the GOR. So is Rinjani who became the center of attention because he realized he was near me. Smiled sweetly and nodded as some people greeted her.

There are some friends who know him as my ex-lover and my brother-in-law. And they shook their heads in disbelief at the familiarity of the two of us.

"Don't be sad if after this a lot of gossip circulating." I said softly.

"No matter what, we are family." Rinjani replied casually.

"Mas... Anisa, Mas." exclaimed Sadewa while pointing south. A place where other students can attend graduation events.

I looked at it for a moment. Nothing changed from her makeup, and the way she tied her hair. Anisa is still the same, maybe her heart too. I don't know, I don't want to guess.

Rinjani smiled, she patted me on the shoulder. "Don't be sad on your happy day."

I smiled while showing off my white and neat teeth.

"I hate to see your smile!" Rinjani.

"I hate to see you guys, I'm not considered!" timpal Sadeva.

The three of us giggled and enjoyed every second of today's graduation. Until the time came my name was called to receive a diploma. I went on stage proud.

No special words of welcome today. I just give thanks for all the events that have happened in my life up to this moment.

Mother and Father greeted me happily under the stage. They took turns to hug me tightly. Do'a-do'a is good at raving beautifully. Until Rinjani spread out both hands.

I pinched her nose, "Mas Kaysan will be furious with me."

Rinjani smiled faintly, "Come on, last chance."

Mother and Father nodded, agreeing if I hugged Rinjani.

"alright. But if Kaysan gets angry. Don't take me!"

Rinjani nodded, I took off the graduation toga and hugged Rinjani tightly.

"I let you be happy even though I'm not the place where you live. Watching you keep smiling is my will. Be happy because I know that your happiness is an important part of my life."

Rinjani patted me on the back, "It looks like you're the wrong person, Nang. There's Anisa waiting for your turn to get your hug" Rinjani said.

I took off my arms and looked. The girl smiled sweetly and gave me a parcel filled with bellies. Favorite snack.

"Congratulations on your achievements. I'm sorry."

"You are not wrong, I am the only one who does not understand the true meaning of love. Thank you for the parcel. I'll go first." I ended the clap on her shoulder as Anisa was just glued to look at me away from before her.

..."My story is about forgiving, letting go and forgetting."...
