My Mr's. Virgin

Chapter LXXIV

"Is this really so, Darling?"

Bobbing. His hands were still agile writing the names of the invited villagers.

"I still can't believe it. I've rubbed my eyes repeatedly, but this name hasn't changed."

Mariana laughs. "There's just you, here."

"Eh, if you mean Aloysius Crowe, owner of Crowe Brother's property company, who doesn't know? One town Maumere knows, knows."

"Is that great?"

"certain. Have a lot of land. Your grandchildren will live happily. His son is Alo the other one ...." Hendra suddenly stopped his words. Something started to disturb his mind.

"What's wrong?" ask Mariana.

Hendra shakes. He took a breath, exhaled it slowly, then straightened his back. "Congratulations on the success of Sisters ascending to the whale class," he said, extending a congratulatory hand.

The sound of Mariana's laughter echoed, breaking the silence of the night inside her room.

"Ruby, e. Keep your voice down, e. My son sleeps next door." Hendra kicked Mariana's leg from under the table. The girl laughed until her eyes watered, slouching while holding her stomach.

"I have a stomachache, Darling," said Mariana after her laughter subsided.

Hendra. He looked back at the invitation card, reading word by word, looking at letter by letter. Maybe there is less or miswritten. However, his eyes were not yet myopic. So, it was clearly written on the invitation card.

'The union of God cannot be divorced by man.'

'His father's name (father) does not exist. Maybe because he's dead, ' her inner self.

"Darling, are you dodging?" Hendra gasped at Mariana's reprimand. "Quick write! There's still a lot of this, tomorrow the kids will give an invitation to the villagers."

Hendra nodded. He still felt something odd in his mind as he read the groom's name. He was no stranger to that name. However, he did not find his peculiarity even after thinking for a long time.

'Maybe it was just me, ' his mind was trying to shake off something that was troubling his mind.

...***...

Seroja's song line stops Hendra from his activities. He stared at the old paras ayu friend who fell asleep. The head was placed on a table with his own arm. Sympathy visited the soul, not until the heart woke him, but, the song Seroja continues to wander from Mariana's phone.

"Darling!" There's no answer.

"Darling!" Her voice was slightly hardened, while gently swaying Mariana's body.

The girl squirms. "Hm!"

"There's a phone call."

Mariana got up, grabbed the phone that was located on the bed. He saw the old cell phone.

"Why not answer?" hendra asked after Mariana's phone stopped singing.

"Unknown numbers from outside the country" he replied.

"You have any acquaintances from abroad?"

Mariana shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know."

Shortly thereafter, the song Seroja returned. Unknown number +65xxx

"Jawab it, it might be important." Hendra gave a proposal. Mariana nodded.

["Hello!"]

["I miss you."] A soft voice came from across.

Mariana shuddered. ["Sorry, you got the wrong number."] The calls kept being turned off unilaterally by him.

"Who?" asked Hendra from his seat.

"She thinks I'm a lesbian." Mariana shuddered.

The Seroja song is back. Hendra stood up, walked over to Mariana who was sitting on the bed. He grabbed the phone.

["Hello!"] His voice sounded soft, while anchoring his body beside the girl.

["Don't turn off!"]

"He's Indonesian" whispered Hendra slowly in Mariana's ear.

["Okay, but who am I talking to?"]

There's no answer.

["Hello!"]

["I miss you."] The voice across sounded vibrating.

"He's crazy, e. She thinks we're lesbians" said Mariana slightly. There was a little bit of noise across the phone.

Mariana grabbed her phone back. He feels played. ["It looks like you just ..."]

["I love you."]

["Sorry, I've bert ..."]

["Darling!"]

Mariana's hands shook. His eyes began to water. ["Gina!"] his screams shocked all the residents of the house. Noel and Nini cried from the next room in surprise.

Hendra snatched the phone. ["Dental, e."] His voice also shook withstanding the sobbing.

["I miss you both."]

["Then go home!"]

["Yes."]

Mama looks over at Mariana's bedroom door, wanting to know what happened. Hendra said that Gina called. Mama wanted to chat with Gina, asked the news, but abandoned her intentions when she saw the three friends chatted on the phone, giving up longing after a long time without seeing each other.

Much they tell. Gina says she is now in Singapore. Mariana also told that if Hendra was married, he would also follow in a few days. However, she did not tell her partner's name because Gina used to also keep it a secret about her boyfriend's name. Intending to take revenge. Ha-ha-ha.

Mariana also told Hendra and Gina about the contract agreement verbally between her and Andreas. Gina and Hendra just chuckled at hearing that.

["Darling, who's that guy? I'm curious about this."]

["Go home if you want to know."] Mariana sat down on the head of the bed.

["Next year I'm home. My contract is up. Debt has also been paid off, but add another year for savings. Working here his salary is quite large."]

Mariana silent. Guilt sees his feelings. Recalling when his best friend was in trouble, pursued by loan sharks because of the debt around the waist.

["Sorry!"]

["That's okay. You've been helping too much, Darling. Without you and Hen, there would probably be no Gina in this world. I'm sorry too, don't tell you, leave didn't tell you first."]

The atmosphere was instantly silent, only the roar of breath could be heard. In this world many people can be made friends, but few people can be true friends. Friends are there when we are happy, friends run when we are difficult.

["So, the mission now is to get Mr Perjaka's heart?"] He was laughing across the phone.

"It's not that easy. He's like a jungle chicken, look at it. Difficult to catch, the meat is also hard, chew until the jaw is released even though the meat has not been destroyed."

Gina and Hendra laughed.

"Where does the spirit of a Mariana go? You used to express feelings to Mr. Hengki in front of all the students can." Hendra.

It was Mariana's turn to laugh out loud. The story if remembered again is funny, there is shame. However, he tried to make a face when his monkey love was rejected right then and there, in front of the students at the morning apple. Understandably, young Mariana's blood was stirring. Not thinking before acting.

The incident almost foiled Mr. Hengki's wedding plan. His fiancee was jealous, wanting to cancel the engagement. Mariana appeared again, explaining her feelings, about the admiration for Mr. Hengki turned into seeds of love. However, the flower of his love withered before blooming, dead without blooming, extinct after being rejected.

["Darling, good luck with your new life, good luck to your grandchildren. The best prayer is always for you both."]

Mariana and Hendra were silent. There is suffering covered in mist. Now it feels further away from their friendship. However, Mariana was still hopeful, if this feeling was only temporary. No matter what happens, their friendship will last forever.

["The spirit to conquer the Lord's heart. You definitely can. Don't be saggy!"] He chuckled before the phone call was switched off.
