My Ribs

Chintania

As the night progressed, the Abimana family gathered at the dinner table for dinner together. As usual, after dinner they gather in the family room to just talk.

"The honeymoon is different, huh?!"chirps Agus open the chat.

"Winow marriage! Don't date mulu!"sahut Abiman.

"Weathered bachelor!"cibir Arjuna's.

"About-about already have a coupling,"sahut Agus.

"Truk kali gandengan,"sohut Kinara while smiling thinly.

"By the side, I have a dark story, Ma'am," said Agus, who appeared to take a deep breath, his facial expression changed.

"What's a dark story about a pair?"asked Kinara as she scrunched her forehead.

"Yes, Mother. I'm into my ex's wedding, same girl I am. Suddenly there was a commotion, the men were fighting because of nyawer biduan. I pulled my girl so we could stay away from the fight, but I was punched with soldiers" Agus said.

"Can't you?"tanya Kinara was curious, as was Abimana. Arjuna looked flat without expression.

"I'm wrong. The one I was holding was not my girlfriend, but his wife was a soldier, "sahut Agus while grinning stupidly.

"Already! It's already! Agus did not need to be listened to, mending at rest, "sahut Abimana made Agus grunt and they finally returned to their respective rooms.

Arjuna was seen approaching Kinara who was standing on the balcony of their room. Then hugged Kinara from behind, putting her chin on Kinara's shoulders. Kinara turned to Arjuna for a moment, threw a smile, then looked back at the sky.

Arjuna took off one of the Bluetooth earphones Kinara was wearing, then put it on. There was a song by Last Child called "This Whole Breath" and it just so happened that the song they were listening to was reflected in the lyrics ...

If you are my ribs

You're going back

On this body

I will grow old and die

In your embrace

For all this breath

"Is this your favorite song?"tanya Arjuna was still hugging Kinara from behind. Arjuna often found Kinara listening to the song. Even when they honeymooned yesterday, Kinara changed the ringtone of her mobile phone with a song sung by Last Child.

"Hum,"sohut Kinara,"I am your ribcage, therefore, although we are separated, one day we will definitely be together again" Kinara said as she held Arjuna's hand wrapped around her stomach.

"What are you talking about? We will never part," said Arjuna who seemed to dislike the words to separate from Kinara.

"If we were destined to be apart for a while, would you still be loyal to me, Mas?"asked Kinara suddenly.Still staring at the night sky so beautifully tonight.

"What are you talking about, anyway? Have I not proved it for thirteen years? I'm still waiting for you, even though I finally have to give up and obey my grandfather's wish to marry a girl who turns out to be you" Arjuna said, remembering being forced by his grandfather to marry Kinara.

They even get married without knowing who and how the person has become their respective partner. They had never met once and did not know how their partner looked. They only know their partner's name.

"Did Mas Juna believe that I was Mas Juna's rib?"tanya Kinara was still staring at the sky.

"of course. The proof is that you are now my wife" Arjuna said confidently.

"If so, Mas Juna need not be afraid of losing me. Because no matter how far I go, and no matter how separated we are, I will still go back to Mas Juna" Kinara said confidently.

"You speak more and more," said Arjuna who really did not like to hear the words parting from Kinara.

"Mas!"call Kinara still holding Arjuna's hand that was coiled around her stomach while leaning her head on her husband's field chest.

"Hum" Arjuna said as briefly as usual. Look up at the bright night sky with the moon shining brightly and the stars scattered.

"How many days?"asked Arjuna while releasing his embrace in Kinara's stomach then turned Kinara's body towards her.

"It's only one day, Mas,"sahut Kinara looked up at Arjuna who was taller than him.

"I'll miss you" Arjuna said, gently tasting Kinara's head.

"Mas Juna will be waiting for me?"tanya Kinara still looked up her head looking at Arjuna.

"of course. I'll even pick you up" Arjuna said again.

The next morning, they returned to their activities. Arjuna went with Agus to their office and Kinara went to teach.

After a long day of teaching, the bell rang. Kinara walked towards the parking lot and immediately exhaled a rough breath when she saw the flat tire.

"Why, Mom?"asked Mr. Rudi who saw Kinara standing next to his bike and looked annoyed.

"Ah, this, sir. The motorcycle tire deflated," Kinara replied.

Mr. Rudi noticed that both the Kinara motorcycle tyre and the rear tyre looked flat.

"Then, if Bu Kinar doesn't mind, let me take him home," bargained Mr. Rudi, still can't move on from Kinara.

"Thank you, Sir. I don't want to trouble you. I ordered a taxi online only," said Kinara directly ordered a taxi online, so that Mr. Rudi could not say anything more.

As he passed by the quiet road, from far away Kinara saw a woman who was being ganged up by several men, "Sir, stop, sir! The woman was ganged up on by some people," Kinara said with a worried look on her face.

"Don't Miss teacher! They look like thugs. We'd better just go!"the taxi driver looked scared.

"Stop, Sir! It's the cab fare!"edith Kinara sounded angry.

The taxi driver stopped the taxi and after Kinara disembarked, the taxi immediately drove away. The taxi driver seemed unwilling to risk facing the thugs. Kinara directly attacked the thugs who were ganging on the woman. There was a fight between two women and eight thugs.

Finally Kinara and the woman managed to defeat the thugs, although the woman who was helped by Kinara suffered some bruises because of the thugs.

"Thank you, you helped me. Introduce, my name is Chintania," said the woman whom Kinara helped while bending over to endure the pain and Kinara also welcomed Chintania's hand as she introduced herself.

"Your injuries are pretty bad. Let me drive you home" Kinara said.

"But I'm carrying a motorcycle" Chintania said pointing to a motor sport that was about to be robbed by the thugs.

"I can, like, ride a bike like that" Kinara said.

"really? Incidentally," Chintania said with a big smile.

Finally, Kinara drove Chintania home using a sports bike owned by Chintania. Just a moment ago they knew, but they seemed familiar. Soon they arrived at Chintania's house.

"Why is it like this?"mama asked Chintania looked panicked to see her only daughter who came home injured.

"Calm down, ma. I'm it's okay. It's all thanks to Kinara. If he doesn't help me, I don't know what's happening to me" Chintania said, staring at Kinara with a smile.

"Thank you, yeah, Ra. You've helped Auntie's son, uh no. From now on you call me mama, just like Chintania. Chintania has never brought a girl friend into this house, and you are the only girl friend Chintania has brought home with her" Chintania's mom said with a smile.

"From now on and forever we will be mama's children and will keep mama together" Chintania said holding Kinara's hands together and looking at Kinara with a serious look. Kinara smiled and nodded in agreement.

Since their meeting, Kinara and Chintania have become increasingly familiar and often meet outside the house. While Mama Chintania himself, only met once with Kinara, which is when Kinara drove Chintania home.
