My Husband is a Ningrat

Anthology of short stories [Santosa III ]

"I'm 39 years old if I have to wait for you to make your choice. While your age must have also reached the age of 30s. Doesn't that make you look one eye at your neighbor?"

"Om Santosa why? Why is this suddenly. I'm not good with Nindy!"

Her chubby cheeks added look like a bakpao if it pouts like that. I like to see it. If it's legitimate, would like me pinch. I love being weird and wildly uncontrollable. But that's natural, my wong is also a normal guy.

"I've been watching you all day long while I've been working with GPH Kaysan. I wasn't interested in you at first because I couldn't be free to do the personal thing I wanted to do."

"Then why am I Om? Don't gthat's... I respect Ms. Nindy. I respect the big family of Kanjeng Sultan. I don't want to be complicated."

"Being the wife of the prince and a Javanese Ningrat means you should be able to dance and remove the hijab you wear. You also need to understand Kejawen Islam. Can you take off your hijab just to be part of the palace?"

I look bad, but that's how it is. Being the prince's wife should be prepared with everything related to the palace.

Like Ndoro ayu Rinjani, Ninapun must be able to make offerings, dance, and follow all the royal rites.

"Well... Why does Santosa dizzy himself. If I can't wait for Nanang for five years, I don't choose Santosa to be my life partner either!"

Now I understand why friendship can be established long enough because both of them have the same nature or character.

And, the characters Nina and ndoro ayu Rinjani are both stubborn and stubborn.

"You sure? I am ready to leave the main house of Kanjeng Sultan if you are not comfortable with Mbak Nindy. I was in a bit of a hurry because my age was not young anymore either. Hm... My ta'aruf would too? Nina want to try it?"

I thought again, I was like a man who really wanted to be loved and expected.

I rejected Nindy's feelings and affection.

Life is not straight.

Sometimes it hurts but it hurts too...

Sometimes loved but not loved...

"I am also a prince, although my family is not as rich as the family of Sultan Adiguna Pangarep. But I can take you to be the only empress and not demand you take your hijab off."

Nina was getting angry. His fist was seen hitting the car dashboard.

"I expected nothing from Nanang. I don't love Santosa either. I just want to live in peace, no matter who I marry. God must have prepared all the best for me. I don't want to get married anyway! I haven't graduated from nursing school!"

The conversation happened when I drove her home to Nina after a romance hearing last night.

Now I'm just faced with an unpleasant situation.

Nindy is hostile to me, ndoro ayu Rinjani is angry because it has made everything wrong.

Prince Nanang does not know how it is, while the decision to marry Nina for five more years will really be done or I can not afford it. I can only pray that, in the next five years, the prince of Nanang in Germany will find Cinderella or the nobility of Europe.

I waited at my usual place and GPH Kaysan was working. Because only GPH Kaysan can ask for help now.

A flash of thought about my future was already stealing as my focus for work.

I went out of the room to get some fresh air. But only on cigarettes did I seek tranquility.

"It's been a while?" ask GPH Kaysan.

"No, Gusti prince." answered me while bowing.

GPH Kaysan was seen smiling, "Nindy is my sister. Nina is my wife's best friend. Nindy loves you, while Nina loves my sister, Nanang. If the four of you were together, you would have hurt each other as a family. Your decision yesterday was totally unexpected, Sam. You are brave enough to say that before Father."

GPH Kaysan also took a cigarette and took a sip.

I breathed in the smoke coming out of my nose.

"I don't know Gusti. It seems like my choice was in a hurry. But I can't force my feelings on Nindy. Gusti prince must know the pedigree of the descendants of Salahuddin Rumi. None of us married... Sorry."

I bowed respectfully.

GPH Kaysan patted me on the shoulder, "I know. But Nindy has not received punishment and forgiveness for her mistake. Is there a genuine love from someone who is unable to open the door of your heart? Moreover, a woman's love is difficult to unravel even though it has been rejected many times, even the taste of the wound will also be difficult to fade."

I bowed again, "I've never loved a woman before. Just a little bit to understand and that's to ndoro ayu Rinjani. Forgive me Gusti my prince was presumptuous. But that was."

GPH Kaysan chuckled, "That's it already. I'm not talking about that anymore, now the problem is you and Nindy. It's good to talk from heart to heart."

GPH Kaysan stood up after the cigarette in his hand had run out.

"Nina is a good girl, Sam. But you need time to open her heart. One more thing I can remind you of. Loving is not enough to make people accept, being loved is not enough to make people happy. What is clear, whatever your decision may you be wise in choosing it."

GPH Kaysan left from before me.

I need to talk to Nindy. As much as possible the time should be now because I also do not want my existence here to make him suffer more.

I look for him in the back garden, he must be accompanying Suryawijaya to play.

Sure enough, from a distance I saw it. He could still smile and laugh a little at Suryawijaya's behavior.

I don't know where to start my conversation with him. Bringing Nina into this relationship was impossible. I was wrong to have made it an excuse to reject Raden Ayu Nindy's feelings.

Now I'm confused. My devotion will never end even if I get married later. I still have to fight to achieve my original goal of coming to this kingdom.

And, marriage with the family members of Sultan Agung Adiguna Pangarep will increase cooperation between kingdoms. Which means, I should try to start a more concrete feeling towards Raden Ayu Nindy.
