My Husband is a Ningrat

Part Special V [ENDING ]

Successfully brought Erros Candra's guitar to Pandu Mahendra, but I did not manage to persuade Kaysan to accept my excuse.

Duh Gusti, geez, I have to how, why last night I had to sing on the stage of the people's party. I just want to be a good mother to Pandu Mahendra, I also just want to persuade her to go home. But my heart is happy without the knowledge of Kaysan.

"I'm sorry Rinjani, mas. Rinjani khilaf." I said that night.

"I told you, brother. Talk about anything with me before you act." she said in a flat voice.

"Where was that night? Do you share the same photos of Nella Kharisma? Who's flirty now?" I don't mean to blame him. But that's how it happened when Dalilah uploaded her latest photo on social media.

Mas Kaysan just kept quiet, he took off his clothes before we both had to undergo a ritual in the middle of the night.

There are various kinds of rituals that we have to do tonight before tomorrow morning becomes an extraordinary day for me and Kaysan mas in the history of the kingdom stand.

No intercourse, no good-night kisses. Kaysan and I remained silent for a while.

"Good night my Empress."

"Good night my King."

The man in front of us just smiled. In the hand of Kaysan mas as he said neat do'a-do'a.

Mas Kaysan solemnly lowered his head as Ayahanda splashed the seven-figure flower water on his head to purify himself. So do I, I also perform the same ritual until morning.

That night there was only the sound of water gurgling and gusts of wind as I and Kaysan cross-legged while listening to the wobble from Ayahanda in the back pendopo. There are no refutations or questions, I and Kaysan only need to hear the Ayahanda's words until the time I and Kaysan must be sahur to fast mutihan.

"Rest my children before dawn" said Ayahanda.

We both nodded while clenching both hands.

After Ayahanda went to the house, Kaysan and I were both still silent. I don't know how to tell you how I feel today, I don't know how to tell you that I'm nervous. Very, very nervous because in the morning I will no longer be the Rinjani I used to be. I will truly have the peerage that Father gave me.

At exactly three in the morning, we enjoyed a glass of water and white rice served by Mbok Darmi.

"Kudu is concerned, I must be patient" said Mbok Darmi.

I nodded with a smile.

"Thank you Mbok." I'm back at the moment.

Mas Kaysan also chimed in, "Thank you for helping Rinjani as long as he learned to be a Ningrat Mbok. Thanks." Mas Kaysan bowed before Mbok Darmi.

"Hopefully you will stick together and trust each other because later you will be faced with great social responsibility. Not only do you hold the office of King and Queen, but you also become role models of the crowd. Patience and sumeh, keep smiling even though the heart is raging with various kinds of problems."

Kaysan and I clenched both hands and nodded.

"You rest. Mbok Darmi must make offerings at the back pendopo."

Mbok Darmi carried a tray containing the glass marks and plates we both used.

Now it's just me and Kaysan, in the morning that feels so cold. I rubbed my arms before trying to stand up hard because I was wearing a pullcloth and kebaya.

Kaysan's hand stretched out to help me stand up, "Let's take a break, brother. Before later we are made dizzy with the behavior of Pandu Mahendra."

I clasped Kaysan's hand and stood up. I hugged him before saying, "Help Rinjani ya mas. But don't punish Jani for making a mistake."

"But Nella Charisma is more beautiful than Rinjani. Nella Kharisma is sexier than Rinjani, right?" kataku tease.

"ssttt. Come to the room, Suryawijaya could not sleep well if you know wake up his mother is not next to him."

I'm nodding. Today is quite draining, but does not drain the happiness created.

I don't think time has shown at half-eight in the morning. I've worn my kebaya, not my new kebaya, but my mother's clothes. My hair is already bunned with jasmine ronce that adorns my head.

Kaysan and I are like newlyweds who pull a carriage to surround the square before entering the palace. We greet the citizens who have lined up to see the new king and queen. I was moved to see the welcome of the people, as well as Kaysan mas who looked very authoritative. My husband smiled as he nodded his head as the citizens called out his name.

In front of us was a golden carriage carrying the Fathers and Mothers and was pulled by a selected horse that specially pulled the golden carriage.

Right at eight in the morning we and our family and other palace officials were in front of the media to conduct a press conference before the inauguration of me and Kaysan became the king and queen in a sacred place in the Kencana ward.

"My people whom I respect as you honor me, please allow me to introduce you all on this bright morning. That today my children are ready to take my place and become the heir to the throne of this kingdom. May you all accept it and flatter it with respect and courtesy." said Ayahanda.

The sound of cheers and applause sounded as if welcoming me with joy. I was even more moved when I saw the vanguard of people lined up were people I knew. They smiled sweetly and waved their hands at me.

I wanted to cry, this warm welcome was so different to my expectations of rejection, maneuvering, and demos about the status of nobility that I did not have. Luckily for me, this is all thanks to the help of all the families and relatives who are willing to help me and Kaysan mas break through the boundaries of differences and climb the throne of the kingdom with full struggle.

After Ayahanda's speech was over, I waved my hand to leave the citizens who loved me.

The family entourage entered the palace to continue the special ritual of abdication of the throne of Ayahanda and Mother.

Arriving at the Kencana ward, all the rituals we had to do solemnly. Kaysan and I solemnly lived it well and correctly.

When Mother held my head, I could not hold my day.

"Be Ningrat who preaches my son like Pertiwi who is silent when drained of the point."

I bowed in front of my mother. It was a tough task but I just nodded in agreement. "Thank you Mother for the most special blessing that Mother gave. Rinjani will carry out the decree that Mother gave her well." Mother nodded, she rubbed my head and kissed the top of my head.

Now it's my turn to turn to Ayahanda. I clenched my hands together before bowing with him.

Ayahanda only advised, to keep the oral, keep the actions, and remain firm whatever problems you face later. Work well and sincerely because that is the key to the Ayahanda to defend the castle fortress.

"Nyelehke sing kudu. Nglakoni sing kudu. Ngikhlaske sing kudu diikhlaske. Mugi tansah pinaringan kawilujeng, kesarasan, and kateentreman inner birth." Ayahanda kissed the top of my head and Kaysan mas alternately after all the sacred rituals we both did.

It does not feel all this can me and Kaysan mas finish well. Now, Kaysan and I really feel what it is like to sit on the throne of the kingdom to be King and Queen. Hold a very large department. Today is the beginning of my real struggle.

...***...

...Everything about togetherness, longing, anger, and disappointment is mixed into stories about love stories that we take care of to become bigger and stronger....

...There is no antidote to anxiety, disappointment and hurt except your presence every second, every moment that fills this togetherness....

...Hopefully we can keep what we built all this time. Although vacillating in the distance that makes us know how to miss....

...HAPPY ENDING 💗...
