My Husband is a Ningrat

Anthology of short stories [Santosa II ]

I was in an all-out hearing by Kanjeng Sultan and GPH Kaysan in the back pendopo.

I was asked with details of my feelings

what I felt when I was with Nindy.

I answered honestly about the feelings. Because I don't want to mess around with a relationship at my age that already deserves holding a baby.

"Give me my daughter Nindy!" the Tanjeng Sultan.

The other servant nodded, then went inside the house.

Now it's GPH Kaysan's turn to ask my purpose after me and Nindy at the meeting in the first trial of romance cases.

I clenched both hands. Bowing respectfully to the two royal courtiers, "I want to approach ndoro ayu's best friend Rinjani, Nina."

"CAN'T!!!" nindy in front of Kanjeng Sultan.

"Get good manners!" GPH Kaysan.

"Yahujana... I've been waiting a long time. I was waiting for a happy day. But why should I accept this harsh reality, Father."

Nindy rested before Father. That cry of disappointment sounded so stinging to his heart. I just looked down, even if this relationship was established the longer I was sure the more complicated the affairs.

Nindy hit my arm, "I'm waiting for you to accept me. I waited. But here's how you turned me down after four years of our shared days."

Watching Nindy to myself was enough to show that she did have high hopes for me. But again I didn't put anything on him.

I am kind to him because I respect everyone in this house. I respect him as the son of Kanjeng Sultan Adiguna Pangarep.

It's a shame to respect Nindy because she deserves my respect.

"Mas jawab? Why could you choose Nina to be the woman you want to approach while we both know Nina likes Nanang!" exclamation Nindy.

I sighed and bowed as Kanjeng Sultan told me to stop talking.

"It's been enough to act like my daughter's teenage son, Nindy!" kanjeng Sultan.

Nindy looked down, tears on her face.

"I respect your decision Raden Mas Saleh Samudera Adinoto Salahuddin Rumi! Get my wife Sasmita and the girl named Nina right now. Prepare telecommunications with my son Prince Nanang!" the Tanjeng Sultan.

I looked up, and so did everyone in the back pendopo. Everyone seems confused by Kanjeng Sultan's plan to summon Nina, as well as Prince Nanang.

"What's Father for? At this hour Nanang is asleep." explained GPH Kaysan.

"Do all my orders. Solve the problem tonight!" the Tanjeng Sultan.

"Yahanda!" nindy hatch.

Kanjeng Sultan was silent. While GPH Kaysan left the back pendopo followed by Nindy who taught him.

His whimper was not finished, Nindy heard still asking GPH Kaysan not to pick Nina up or call her to the main house.

"Sorry Gusti, I didn't mean to hurt Kanjeng Sultan's daughter. I just want the Father at home to accept my future wife."

Moreover, Kanjeng Sultan just smiled and nodded.

"I brought you here, I'm in charge of you. Do not associate your devotion with your good business. Your choice is your choice."

I nodded with a smile. After some time, GKR Sasmita came from inside the house. Followed by ndoro ayu Rinjani. Both of them were confused and looked anxious.

"Why did you get out of the room, my daughter Rinjani? Don't you need a complete break?"

Ndoro ayu Rinjani shook her head, "Mas Kaysan said Nina should come here, what's up Ayahanda? Didn't Nina make no mistake."

GKR Sasmita also asked, "Please explain what is this mas? I'm not calm if Nanang is still at the nuisance even though he's already abroad. I fucked him up."

"You calm down, wait until everyone is gathered here."

No one disputes Kanjeng Sultan's remarks. All was silent until Nina actually came here.

Being together in the car yesterday was enough to impress me with Nina's parenting and behavior when nurturing Suryawijaya.

She was a complete package for me to bring back to the presence of my Father and Mother in my homeland, the city of Cirebon.

"Call my son Nanang and call my daughter Nindy!"

GPH Kaysan who just wanted to sit near his wife then stood up again to call his sister.

"It turns out this is what it feels like to be told by heroes. It is fitting that my sisters choose to leave." muttered GPH Kaysan whom we could hear.

The situation is back tense. Nina just kept quiet, she was confused at what happened.

After Nindy arrived at the back pendopo, her face looked puffy. He bowed languidly before Father.

The call was also connected to Nanang.

"Listen to the advice of my children's fathers. This is not a command, this is not something you just understand about love. You are both adults, you both have a big decision to get someone's heart. The father here just reminds us, we as humans should choose the best for the future. My daughter Nindy, you know your flaws, that's why I told you that you should be legowo if Santosa didn't choose you. My son Nanang, actually men should be able to make firm decisions. And, you're Santosa. Be wise in anything. Moreover, Nina the girl you want is not the girl you can't easily conquer."

The words of Kanjeng Sultan were able to make Nina and Nanang throw the same question at each other.

Behind the phone, Nanang said he was quite confused by the transcontinental talks. While Nina interrupted Kanjeng Sultan with what she meant.

"Santosa wants Nina as his future wife" explained Kanjeng Sultan.

"What!" both of them wanted to reject if both were quite flabbergasted.

Nanang turned off the phone. Nina shook her head quickly while expressing her rejection.

The situation of the pottery was chaotic when ndoro ayu Rinjani said that Nina's husband had to allow her to be her maid.

I'm silent. Baffled.

GKR Sasmita said, "Nina... Mother understands your relationship and Nanang is only a friend. Even though you are both comfortable to interact with. But neither of you can get to the marriage relationship. Mother please allow you not to hang your future with Nanang. You're a good girl, but my son can't tell you when he's coming home and give you reassurance."

"Sorry Kanjeng Sultan and Mother Sasmita. I still don't understand why I have to take it with me in the relationship of Om Santosa and Mbak Nindy. I don't want to hurt Nindy. Nor will I force Nanang to accept me. I will go home without compromising my respect for all of you" Nina said.

GKR Sasmita's cell phone rings. He said that Nanang called him.

"Nangs... Mother knows you are often disappointed by love. Mother knows, Nang. But it is not good to hang the feelings of a woman. Mother knows how it feels to wait for an answer without certainty."

My advice is that Prince Nanang does not need to agree to Nina's invitation to be a couple. I was ready to go forward and give him certainty.

I am also a prince. More mature and able to care for Nina. But the words of Prince Nanang can make me have to fight more...

"I can't promise anything but to marry her after I finish college, Bun. But I can't be home anytime soon, maybe four or five more years if Nina's gonna wait for me."

Fuck prince Nanang. Where maybe a woman feels at home waiting in a distance and a very long and long time.... I'm ready to take action tonight.

Happy reading 💚😂
