Neighbors Become Households

A moment to know Rani

All day long Jihan looks moody. How not, since meeting Satrio the girl felt uncomfortable. There are negative thoughts that haunt him.

Evening that looks peaceful, the twilight shade that day looks so beautiful in the eyes. Orange rays also warm the eyes. Jihan sat on the swing behind her house.

The swing was deliberately placed there because the backyard of their house directly facing the sunset, so that the place became a favorite place of Jihan when she was alone.

''Honey, what are you doing?'' arga's voice broke the silence of Jihan.

The girl turned her head for a while towards the husband, Sit down, mas. Is she dancing?.''

Arga smiled, and sat down next to Jihan.

Staring at his wife who seemed less cheerful, unlike ordinary days.

Feeling stared at like that, Jihan became uncomfortable.

''Why do you see that? Shame to know, face it!'' his orders.

But Arga did not heed the request. Just looking closer.

''Ahh mass! Don't do that, face there. Look ahead!'' Jihan brushed her husband's face.

Arga cupped Jihan's hand, For what look at the others, if beside me there is an angel as beautiful as this, Arga smiled.

Jihan stared at her husband's bead, undeniable. Her heart was glad when she heard the sweet words of her husband.

''Basic of a mongrel, get away!'' expel Jihan.

Arga laughed at the behavior of the wife who he thought was very adorable. He can't stand it if he doesn't tease Jihan.

''Uuhh dear, here I hug,'' Arga immediately clutched the tiny body of Jihan.

''Mas, kok even hug anyway. Being told far away though, she tried to escape from her husband's arms.

''I don't want to ah, it's good to hug you.''

''Mass.' his voice began to get annoyed.

''Why the hell, people hug their own wives really can't. Your reward is dear, than I hug someone's wife.''

Jihan looked at her husband. ''Ohhh so I want to hug someone's wife. Who?''

Starting to get upset and force Arga's body to stay away.

''Sok-Sok wants to hug people's wives, sndiri wife has not been touched,'' ngedumel wirih.

But Arga can still hear her.

''Ohhh so dear to touch, let's go in!'' pull up Jihan's arm.

''Eh uh, mas do not like that, ''' anxious with her husband's behavior makes Jihan can not bear to pinch Arga's stomach.

Arga was in pain, while stroking his stomach. ''Shhtt, sick tau!''

''Let alone, mas it does not know anyone else sprained ya. Even in a disturbance. Rasain tuh.''

Actually Arga found out if Jihan was having problems. Judging from the look of the face from earlier was not friendly. But Arga tried to refrain from asking first, because his wife won like that. If there is a problem do not want to immediately say, wait a little quiet first.

Not infrequently so calm, to forget what to talk about.

''I know, baby again, upset. That's why I tried to comfort you, his lips smiled warmly, then gently stroked the wife's cheek.

Jihan stared fixedly at her husband, her heart touched and then scattered herself into Arga's arms.

Arga tightened his embrace. And kissed the head of the wife. Feel the aroma of fragrance that is at once opium for him.

Ever since his quarrel that day, Arga has been wanting to understand his wife more. Trying to be a better husband. And learn to control their emotions.

*****

It doesn't feel like Rani and Jihan's graduation time is soon. This week is a busy time for their forces to prepare for the final battle of high school education.

Rania Missaki, or more familiarly called Rani. Her cool-sounding name shows that the girl is not a hundred percent of Indonesian descent. Her father is originally from Japan while her mother is native to Indonesia. The combination of local faces Japanese blaster makes Rani no less beautiful and cute than Jihan.

It's just that the girl prefers to dress tomboy, so her cute face is covered with her barbaric nature.

Rani is sitting at the computer desk. His hands did not stop typing word for word.

In contrast to the lives of teenage children his age, who tend to like the life of luxury and full affection from parents. Rani is a girl who grew up independent and away from luxury life. His parents were one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country.

Because of that success, make Rani far from her mom and dad. Every day busy taking care of business, flying from one country to another. Be Rani lives alone only accompanied by a caregiver who is loyal to keep her from childhood until now.

But even so, Rania's biological parents did not forget their obligation to give a living to her daughter. Every month money is always sent on time to Rania's savings ATM.

But the girl refused to use it excessively. Even though the nominal given is not a small amount. Though if he wants enough money to make a luxurious living by shopping for branded goods, but this is Rania girl is very frugal, and use the money as necessary. For example, for the cost of school or for the service of his favorite motorbike.

Actually Rania is given more facilities, such as cars. Even if he is willing there is a driver who is ready to deliver it anywhere without he having to hot-heat motorbike under the hot sun or the cold rain.

But back again she is Rania, a girl who does not like to live a life of fun to show off her wealth. He just wants to be Rania who is known to be simple, jolly, and not rich pretentious.

He who is used to living a simple life and many taught kindness by his mother to make Rania not become a takabur.

Although sometimes he also still receives money from Mas Arga which is said to be a salary during keeping Jihan so as not to approach any man if not being with Pak husband. He certainly did so with a happy heart. Because being close to the Jihan family is also one of the reasons Rani can feel the warmth of a harmony. Because of being friends with Jihan she doesn't feel alone anymore.

Thinking of all that made his heart peaceful, he stopped his daydream when suddenly the door of the room opened, Sorry non. Aunty disturbs her learning, let's eat first after that continue again,'' a smile that is not bored to be seen by Rani since childhood. The face of the nanny was like a sedative when Rani was tired.

''Yes bi, wait a minute, yeah.''

Bi Ajeng's affection for Rania is so great as mother and child.

After that they went down to the dining table holding hands. It is not an easy thing for Rani to live away from her papa mama. He is a child of mere puppets, sometimes also feel empty and lonely, so far only bi Ajeng alone is able to make him feel the warmth of family affection.

Rani herself also does not want to be invited to travel with her parents. It will be difficult for him to adapt to the new environment. Moreover, his parents often move around the residence in accordance with his business affairs. The time to go home to visit Rani was uncertain, sometimes it could be a month only twice. Three days at the most.

Rani has been sitting at the dining table, bi Ajeng immediately put the plate and Rani's favorite vegetable. After that Rani scoops it greedily into her mouth.

''Oiya non, I called Auntie. He said next week if there are no obstacles will go home.''

Rani stopped for a moment, not a big thing anymore when it comes to the return of her papa mama. For her to exist and none of them are the same, Rani must also be lonely. Because they will focus on each other's business.

''Won? Not happy Mama's coming home?'' ask bi Ajeng carefully.

Rani smiled bitterly, Where may be bi, my feelings are hard to explain. The point is I'm not sad but also not happy.''

Bi Ajeng knew what was on his foster child's mind.

''Don't be sad, auntie will never leave Non Rani alone until anytime.. ''

Rani looked into bi Ajeng's eyes, Thank you bi. All this time only auntie understood my feelings.''

Bi Ajeng clasped Rani's fingers, as if channeling warmth through her affection. During this time he was very sincere in loving Rania, and considered her as his own child. Because bi Ajeng also knows what it feels like to miss the person he loves. Thanks to the presence of Rani in his life, the longing was slowly treated in the late daughter.

Likewise with Rani, who already considers bi Ajeng like his adoptive parents. The faithful and sincere take care of him from childhood to adulthood. He hopes that if his mother is as good as Bi Ajeng who can accompany him at any time then more complete is the happiness that Rani feels.

But everything is just wishful thinking. In reality Rani is just a princess who lives with little attention from her biological parents. A princess who can only cry and hold longs in the arms of strangers whose affection overpowers the affection of her biological parents.
