THE MENTARI FOR ESTUARY SEASON 2
CHAPTER 39, A BIG SECRET OF GANESHA



Campus area, afternoon...


Hanum took out his cane from the bag, as he was about to get ready to go home.


“Hanum, you came home alone no papa tho?” ask one of her classmates this afternoon.


“Sans, yes, I am first. Mariii..” says Hanum. Friend assented. Using his cane, Hanum walked outside the classroom and headed to the cafeteria, meeting his – friends including Dian, who had been waiting for him there.


BRUCK!


“Eh, sorry, accidentally.” says a voice. Hanum rose from the fall, then fumbled in search of his staff that had bounced far enough away. Hanum did not respond to the man's words, because Hanum knew who he was.


“Do not hold!” Hanum brushed off the hand of the young man who had hit him, then just left him. His day was too heavy with difficult lecture materials, so he did not want his mood to be damaged as irresponsible people like this. Anyway, Reno why is he wandering in his prodinya like gini? He's not the son of Indo Literature, is he?

“Sorry for waiting guys!” hanum said as he half slammed his bag onto the sofa that was right next to him.


“Alamak, why is this coming-coming directly install the ready expression of war?” ask Riana.


“Meet something unpleasant on the road, mbak..” Hanum replied.


“Si Brengs*k it again ta?” ask Ganesh who also started to get emotional.


“Hoppp, don't fight first... Mending you clear to mbak deh. Actually who is the person who always makes you fight is not clear?” ask Riana seriously. Ganesh looked down, afraid. During this time, her brother never knew what he was going through, including the bullying problems that occurred when he was still Junior High. Plus, at the end of her teenage years, Riana perfectly disappears from her, going to Jakarta.


“Hey, first answer questions mbak!” pinta Riana was firm.


“A-I dare not tell you that Ganesh did not tell you first.” said Hanum timidly. Honestly, she had only this first time witnessed Riana's assertiveness like this.


“Nesh..”.


“A-What, mbak?” Ganesh fixed his sitting position. This is a common feature, when a person keeps something big on his chest (like a secret, for example), he will tend to become restless and unsettled.


“After finally we can be together again, you do not intend to tell something the same mbak?” ask Riana softly. He did not want to interrogate. It would be better if at last, Ganesh would tell a story out of his own will.


“Nesh... Not good nyimpen long-standing secret, what else, you will love the same Mbak Riri..”.


“It's Han, I can't shadow as much as what if.”.


“What if? Nesh, don't keep your wounds alone like gini!” Riana remained on her firmness. This time, he grabbed Ganesh's hand and half grabbed it.


“A-What should I, mbak?” tanyanya tired.


“Please, you can share anything with me, Nesh..” says Riana. Ganesh sighed. But it seems like it's time. It's not good that he keeps something that he should be able to share. What's more, it's actually also what she wanted; her brother came back, accompanied her, listening to all her stories every day. But before Ganesh recounted what he kept in meetings all this time, they asked to move places to be more private. Riana agrees, until finally, they all decide to gather at Riana's boarding house, as a BaseCamp, as usual.


***


Hanum went to the kitchen with the other children, to prepare tea for them all. In addition, he also decided to take them all there is to give Ganesh and Riana the opportunity to speak four eyes as a sister and sister.


“Mbak know a secret about Ganesha?” ask Vishnu.


“It looks like you also know right?” Hanum asked back.


“What the hell is it? How to be a bit horror?” tanya Muara did not understand.


“This story relates to the massaalunya Ganesh during Junior High mas. More precisely this. So it was..” had not had time Vishnu continued his explanation, the voice of Riana who shouted hysterically surprised all of them. Even Hanum had his hands until he had splashed hot water so shocked.


“Duh mbak, don't popo tah pean?” ask Vishnu to worry.


“Ssshh, hot yo anyway, but no popo, I'm not going to the room, treat iki, you guys paranono Mbak Riri cepet!” exclaim Hanum. Dian came back and brought a sack of water. Soon he flushed Hanum's hand with the water, then took him to the room to be treated. And with his eye gesture, he told Vishnu and Muara to approach Riana and Ganesh in the middle room.

The estuary hugged her lover, stroking her shoulders and back that were still shaking up and down due to her crying insistence.


“A-I'm not a good brother Ra, a-me.


“Sssst... Ganesh must have his own reasons why he does not want to tell you about this, yes, already do not blame yourself like gini.” said Muara softly.


“Do not think gini mbak, this is not his fault mbak. Kan I said, all this happened just from before mbak went to Jakarta. I just couldn't tell you at the time either. What else was still OTW black belt karate, right, still barbariansnya. Later if the child is battered how, mbak?” seloroh Ganesh's. She continued to hug her brother who was so shaken by what she was saying.


“But, right..”


“Yes nothing but, ma'am, what happens let happen. Even if it still happens until now, I don't even care.” replied Ganesh.


“Which is that Reno kid?” ask Riana at last.


“Nevent to look for mbak, justin aja, I don't care anymore..”.


“There must be a deterrent effect, Nesh, he can't be a bully just like that!” exclaiming fiery Riana.


“Yes already mbak, karma it will come alone, we do not have to bother... The important thing is that I broke his statement he, who said with my slow brain, like I can't go to college. But look what's happening now... Gusti niku mboten sare, mbak, he always takes care of his servants..” said Ganesh sage.


“Iya anyway, but if there is a chance mbak can meet the brash child, will not be wasted his chance..” said Riana, still in fiery mode. Ganesh smile. He clasped his brother's hand tightly.


“He rec, who brought the motor here earlier?” ask Dian to panic.


“I bring, Vishnu also bring. La ngopo?” ask Muara.


“Mau minjem, to pharmacy bentar..” says Dian.


“Who is sick?” ask everything almost together.


“No, just want to buy medicine for burns, Hanum's hand was hit by hot water earlier, surprised he because of your screams, Ms. Ri.” explained Dian.


“Lho, where is he now? How are things?” asked Riana who immediately stood up and blocked Dian's steps.


“I neng kene, already, Yan, have met the burn cure, it's in my P3K box. This is done, see, everything ok now..” said Hanum cheerfully while showing his hand.


“Sorry yes deck, because of mbak..” Riana felt guilty.


“Yes only got ginian doang mah, santuy mbak..”


“Yowes, what's so good about this?” ask Riana.


“You have promised me you want to teach me to sing pop, please correct, I sing weird, don't you? Later accompany yak..” said Dian with a shy expression.


“Woke, ready, we to the studio means. Motor stay here, we take a taxi online. Yoopo?” riana.


“Woke!” exclaim everything. So, continued their super fun activities.

“Aaaaa, Capeeeeeeek!” exclaimed Hanum while jumping on the sofa bed middle space that has been held resembles a real bed.


“Yes dear, wash your feet first there, play jump aja like the Manzo if you run around.” said Riana while laughing and locking the door of their boarding. BTW, who is Manzo? Manzo or Almanzo is a kitten that Riana once found on a boarding terrace. Now he's big, it's finished, it's agile, it's been able to marry another cat, hehehe. Many children, even Laura (the female cat she married), now live here too, with Rose, their kitten. So the Ingals-Wilder family really did, hihihi.


“Hehehe, yes yak. Maap mbak, so pegelnya nih to forget..” said Hanum. Although a little lazy, but finally the girl chose to fly to the bathroom, wash her hands, feet, all her face as well, before rejoining Riana in the living room.


“Well, it will soon be..” said Riana while shifting and giving place to the girl on the sofa bed. Hanum just smiled, then lay down, hugging the bolster and his beloved doll.


“Dek,” call Riana.


“Dalem mbak?” hanum Sahut.


“Still yes...” Riana said as she rubbed the girl's head.


“Still for what mbak?”


“Because you are as dear and sincere as Ganesh, even you complete half the figure he needs when there is nothing for him. Anyway mbak is the first person who will bless your marriage later.”.


“Hus, mbak dik po-o, cook me?” Hanum laughs. But he immediately continued his sentence.


“Iya mbak together, with Ganesh I feel completely accepted as a woman, she never demands me, she treats me as she should, she treats me as she should, and he was able to accept me to the worst thing I had. Anyway while my breath is still there, during that time I will try to love and make her happy.” said Hanum. Riana smiled, then hugged her sister. In his heart he seriously berTO’a, that Ganesh will really be a match with him. While stroking the long hair of Hanum who had fallen asleep, his mind so wandered. He so imagined, it seems funny if he is the same Muara, continued Ganesh and Hanum carry out the marriage contract together. Uh, Riana, there's-there's.
