NINGRAT Between Him And Duda

Please Give Me a Chance....

“Sorry to whom?” ning asked a man sitting on the porch chair. The man immediately stood up and greeted Ning.

“Good day, Mother Ningrat.. I am Hadi, a courier sent to deliver this to you...” He introduced himself and gave her a brown envelope.

“What is this?” ning asked in astonishment after receiving the envelope.

“I do not know what the contents are, because I am only in charge of handing over this envelope to Ms. Ningrat.. I'm sorry, Ms...” he said then resigned.

Ning was silent for a moment staring at the envelope that was already in his hand, with a look of wonder and question marks.

“Eh, wait... Who is this from?” ning asked half-screamed, as the person who claimed to be the courier rushed off riding his motorcycle. He can't chase that guy either.

“Weird basis!!” gerutu Ning upset. “ini what is it? Arrhhhh, it is impossible if the bomb, this thin period..” murmured in wonder.

Just as he turned the coiled rope on the envelope lock to open it, suddenly there was the sound of the footsteps of someone with a perfume scent that Ning was very familiar with.

“Ning...” heard the voice of the person calling. Ning's previously focused gaze on the envelope in her hand, instantly turning to the origin of the familiar voice.

“Mas Igih?” ning said guessing, because the man's face was blocked by a bouquet of flowers that were large enough to hold.

“This is for you...” he said giving the bouquet of flowers while smiling sheet.

Ning who was still surprised by Singgih's arrival arrived, just silently gawked.

“Ning...”.

“Iy yes... why Mas?” replied Ning stammeredly.

“This is for you...” he said thrusting the bouquet of flowers.

“Oh, iy yes ... thanks, Mas...” Ning received the bouquet of flowers, although she felt confused mixed awkwardly.

“You're busy no?”

“Eng... don't know Mas..”.

“Can we talk?”

“Eng... how about at home just talk? It's not good to be here..” Ning apparently did not want his personal mass to be heard by his employees.

“OK...” nod Singgih agree.

“For a while yes, I'll grab the bag first...” He said and rushed inside. He put the envelope from the courier on his desk, then picked up the bag and went back out to meet Singgih.

Initially Ning invited Singgih to walk to Ning's house, but Singgih took her by car to park there.

The two also boarded Singgih's car to go to Ning's house, although actually the distance from work to Ning's house was quite close and only blocked by a few houses.

“Mari in, Mas...” Ning invites Singgih into his house, with the door left wide open. Come in and sit in the guest chair.

Ning put a bag and a bouquet of flowers on the chair, then went back and came back with two glasses of orange juice, for her and for Singgih. Put the two glasses on the table that became the divider of their seats.

“Please drink, Mas...” said Ning who sat next to the bag and bouquet of flowers.

“Thanks, Ning..” Stop taking the orange juice, then take a sip, because the weather outside is very hot and will feel fresh after drinking cold. Maybe after drinking, Singgih who looked nervous and awkward would feel calmer facing Ning.

“Eng, Ning... I'm sorry, because I previously said rudely and accused you of being non-no... Nana told me everything..” Singgih directly expressed the intent of his arrival.

Ning just fell silent, listening to Singgih's words.

“I'm also sorry about last night. I don't mean to ignore you.. Richard asked for my help, because his mother's needle came off and blood flowed from his hand….” he said with a look of regret.

“Goddess Richard?” tanya Ning frowned.

“Iya... His mother Ricard is one of my patients.. He still has to be treated after surgery, but kekeuh want to attend the engagement party of his only child who happens to be my old school friend… That's why I attended the party, in addition to receiving Richard's invitation, also to keep watch for the health condition of his mother Richard.” he said sighing for a moment.

“I'm really sorry Ning..At that time, I was eager to approach you. But as a doctor, prioritizing patient safety was my duty and obligation.”.

Ning just silently stared, he only knew the reason Singgih ignored him at that time. Want to blame it was useless, anyway it was not the fault Singgih. Only, at that time he was disappointed because he had placed great hopes on the man who had the status of his future husband who instead let him when publicly humiliated.

Ning let out a long breath. “Mas need not apologize, anyway it is not the fault of Mas Igih... I also did not know that Mas Igih was at the party..” he said smiling stiffly.

“So you forgive me, Ning?” tanyanya expectantly.

“Iya...” he said nodding.

Singgih seemed relieved, because Ning finally could forgive him.”Thank you, Ning...” he said smiling sumringah.

Ning simply nodded without saying anything. But Singgih's smile faded for a moment, as he did not find the ring that had been circling for several days on Ning's left hand middle finger.

“Ning... Where's your ring?” he asked with heart, there seemed to be fear if his question again offended Ning.

“Oh, yes…. The ring is in the bag..” Ning picked up his bag and took the ring that he had saved yesterday as Athar ordered. “ This is his ring...” he said put the ring on the table.

“Loh, why not reuse?” tanya Singgih was astonished. “Oh, do you want me to wear it?” he said guessing with a smile.

“Eng... not, Mas.. It's better that ring Mas take it home only...” Ning, who was confused about where to start to end their relationship, suddenly returned the proposal ring.

“What? Meaning?” ask Singgih wonder.

Ning let out a long breath. He dared to look into Singgih's eyes. “Sorry, Mas... I can't continue our relationship...” the remark escaped Ning's mouth.

“What? You mean we broke up? Butwhy? Didn't I apologize and you forgave me?” The one who was shocked, could not take it for granted.

“I have indeed forgiven you, Mas. But, that does not mean we can continue a relationship that is not clear what the basis is...”.

“What do you mean Ning? Didn't we know each other long enough. Even you are close to my mother and daughter.”.

“What do I love?” Ning ventured to ask the thing that had been making him curious, by giving Singgih a sharp look.

Deg

“Why silence, Mas?” Ning waited for an answer straight from Singgih's mouth.

“A me... Eng, are not we already tied, why should you ask that?” Notya replied, Singgih even rambling tele.

“Mas just answer yes or no right, what is the problem?” said Ning full of decisiveness.

“Ning.. i. i. i_____”.

“Mas doesn't love me.. That's what Mas Igih would say?” he said by continuing to shower Singgih with a sharp gaze, but the man still did not dare to look at Ning. He even lowered his gaze.

“I am a fool.. I should have asked this when Mas Igih proposed to me...” he said smiling bitterly. “ We should indeed end our relationship without being based on this love.. Rather than going forward it will only cause injury..” said Ning Lirih.

Singgih who heard that, looked up at Ning with a feeling of disbelief at Ning's decision.

“Why? Is it because of Daniel?” tanyanya began to suspect.

Now Ning who widened her eyes in surprise with Singgih's words that did have a point.

“Iya, it is true.. Because I love Daniel, even we love each other,” want it to feel like Ning said it out loud, but unfortunately he can only scream in the heart.

“Because I will not be able to live a household life with the shadows of other women...” said Ning with a confident intonation. Yes, that is one of the reasons besides Daniel.

“You mean?”

“It is clear that Mas does not love me, because the one that Mas loves is only a Diandra..Mas even consider it as if Diandra was still alive..” his speech paused.

“Do you know what I like or not? Even Mas brought me this yellow rose, which is clearly Diandra's favorite flower.. And I'm sure every year Mas still celebrate your wedding anniversary, right?” cerocos Ning's.

“You... so you who yesterday came to my house, broke my bedroom door, entered my private room without my permission, and wrote in the memo that Dayana was sick?” ask Singgih who came back surprised.

“Iya.. I and Mr. Daniel came there to find Mas Igih, exactly the same as Diandra's ring..” Ning pointed at the ring placed on the table. His words paused, to neutralize his emotions.

“Mas Igih definitely bought the same ring of the same size as the Diandra ring.. Hence the ring is a looseness in my ring finger, yes.... I am Ning, not Dindra, Mas..”.

“It it____”

“I see clearly the cosmetics there are still sealed, it means new purchased and not yet used… Women's clothes in your closet smell fragrant like freshly washed and ironed clothes.. While Diandra died six years ago, should her clothes smell closet, right?”

“I cannot marry a man who still considers his late wife alive.I also need to be loved, appreciated, and treated like a wife loved by her husband… Not living in the shadow of another woman, Mas.”.

“You and Daniel? You guys go to my house together? How far are you and Daniel?” Instead, ask something else.

“We just went looking for Mas who is difficult to contact, while Bu Asri is very worried about you and Nana is sick too.” Ning is looking for an excuse to cover up his relationship with Athar. He tried to cover his nervousness to see the look of Singgih's eyes that seemed to have stolen it.

“You sure it's just that?” ask her with a probing look.

Deg

Ning started to get agitated mixed in fear. However, it is undeniable since yesterday he did have an affair with Daniel. But he did not want Singgih to know that, before their relationship really ended.

“No need to switch topics, we are talking about our affairs, Mas...” Ning sergeant.

“I did not switch the conversation, because obviously this has something to do with Daniel..

“Means Mas?” asked Ning astonished mixed in fear.

“That night, after Richard's mother improved, I left him with a nurse and I went looking for you, and when it was not far from the bus stop, I saw you hugging a man.

Deg

Ning was shocked beyond measure to hear Singgih's confession. Now he can no longer deny it. It turns out Singgih has sniffed their affair.

“Even I saw Ocha not far from there watching you.. She instead kept quiet and let you both..” she sighed for a moment.

“And when you were in Nana's room, you guys were so familiar like two lovebirds who were putting your child to sleep.. Surely your decision has something to do with Daniel right?”.

“Did I understand how I felt that night? I was humiliated in front of everyone for making a mess with my wet clothes, but you who were my future husband ignored me instead….” he said with all his might to hold the rumble in the stifling chest in view of the incident.

“I did leave the party, but I had absolutely no idea if Mr. Daniel was there and saw me being humiliated, if it turns out that Mr. Daniel was the one who wore his suit on me because my dress was wet…. Reflexively I shed my tears in the arms of Mr. Daniel..” he said began to sob, but suddenly tears escaped just like that.

“I'm more and more convinced to end our relationship, Mas.. Not only is there no love between us, but also no trust. Since Mas accuses me of being a woman is not right, I had started to hesitate to marry Mas. Though only a few minutes ago Mas apologized, but now____”.

“I'm sorry, Ning... I just don't like my woman being bullied by another man...” He said frankly. It seems like he is jealous, but confused to say it clearly. But her way of avoiding Ning, just made her look like a child.

Ning sighed heavily up to a few times, with a hand that wiped away the trace of tears drenching her cheeks.

Stopping who saw that, got up and walked over to Ning. He shifted the table, then knelt before Ning. He held both hands Ning.

“Ning, please forgive me.. Please give me a chance to change.. We start again a new sheet, I will throw away my love for Diandra and will start to love you….” he said begging.

Ning was stunned to hear Singgih's plea. He did not seem to have the heart to see the pitying face Singgih. Regret is also clearly visible on the look of his face.

“Please give me a chance, Ning..” Stop again pleading sincerely and expectantly.

“I______” Ning who looks worried, making him unable to say a word.
