The Shah of First Love

MOTHER

“I always even remember when Mr. Muji was sickly because overtime continued for a phone he wanted his son. The child does not know it is lucky!!! Given the price of five hundred phones do not want, Mr. Muji back and forth want to exchange phones until finally can the phone brand N. Expensive, he owes Mandor!” Haryawan shook his head, not enough with his regret on the figure of Kani.

Amarendra continued the work in a huff. From far away, Mr. Muji watched the young man. His lips were full of pride.

“If I could tell you everything, Kani. I'm here, near your father. We talked a lot, he taught me a lot, especially about family. I've never been close to my father, but if I may be the one covered in this sin...God, I want to have his Father Kani as my Father too.”

Amarendra was only able to mutter inwardly, wiping the sweat that soaked his two thick eyebrows. Then if there is a chance, he looked at the figure of Mr. Muji who at the beginning he thought the war was fierce and annoying. But it turns out, Mr. Muji is an extraordinary figure.

“It's very beautiful, Maren. I like,” said Kani so cheerful. Amarendra on the side with his hands embracing his shoulders looked over with a small smile. The two met as planned. Amarendra buys an engagement ring even though it's only him and Kani who admit it. “It must be expensive,” Kani continued.

Amarendra shook his head and dropped a sweet kiss on Kani's head.

“This ring is valuable after you wear it. It's a fastener between me and you.”

Kani blushed and continued to stare at her ring finger. Amarendra clasped tightly and the two shifted, looking at each other. Amarendra put Kani's fingers on her cheeks, her eyes continuing down Kani's face that so captivated her every time.

“I'm ashamed to be seen like that.” He turned his face away and Amarendra laughed crisply. “Maren, I will enroll to attend school after C.” package

Amarendra snuggled and looked at him. “Seriously? That's good.” He's very happy.

“But, is the diploma really as useful as the SMA diploma you have?” Kani was doubtful.

“Same, Kani. You can use to apply for work or there is a college intention, it will be very useful.” Amarendra smiled and Kani listened well.

“I do want another job, I am tired of working this way for years even though my current employer is very good. I want to work and be free wherever you go on weekends, with you.” Kani smiled knotfully and Amarendra was happy to hear it.

Waited for a moment.

Kani smiled gently and said a urging, “Later you have to go home, I can't wait to introduce you to my family. At least mom and dad will not be busy anymore want to find a future husband for me because I have chosen you.”

The lethargic face of Amarendra heard it. Kani who saw immediately glum.

“You don't want to?” sad whispers.

“Not that.I don't have anything, there is no preparation, I can only promise the feelings I have but not with a good life after we decided to marry young. I do not have a steady job and my savings are nothing.” He clenched his hand and Kani fell silent. “I'll come but not anytime soon. Don't think I'm not serious, I really want us to be together but everything needs to be well planned. But emmm, honestly, I once thought of taking you eloping.” He lowered his head timidly and Kani laughed widely.

“I was crazy back then, because of you.” He pressed the girl's chin and Kani laughed and heard Amarendra's teeth grinding against her. “ That was, even you are underage, I am the only one thinking about love when the household needs many things, darling.”

Kani smiling sweetly called so for the first time. He nodded in understanding and would wait even more patiently.

“You can now continue to take time off, are Yana and Raihan the same?” cetus and Amarendra were nervous. He decided to half-heartedly.

The meeting they had to end. Amarendra escorted Kani to the compound of the Army house, Amarendra stared until Kani entered the gate after opening the padlock that uses the password. Kani is silent, waving and smiling then Amarendra passes. Both faces were equally blissful.

Amarendra is back on his job. He walked while looking down. Mr. Muji who saw Amar so neat it felt really inappropriate to be a porters. Slowly, Mr. Muji's smile faded as Amarendra sat on his friend's motorbike, joining the conversation. Mr. Muji so remember the Ojek Builder who always boarded Kani if returning from the city, the ojek who always wear a helmet with dark glass.

Mr. Muji shook his head, there's no way his mind could be. The one who has the movement of the body so also high and big is not just Amar. Mr. Muji tried to think realistically not to guess.

Kani stretched her muscles, she just finished ironing the mountain clothes. He drank the cold syrup water then stuffed the chocolate chip cookie piece into his mouth. The house was deserted, the employer and his children went for a walk. Kani let out a long sigh when she saw the many messages from Kalingga, all reeking of questions due to her back-abandoned attitude.

“I just want Amarendra,” said Kani rasak and saw a photo of Amarendra standing behind him when they met in the Square. Kani looks at the other photos and her smile expands perfectly. He stops when the call from the house comes in, as soon as he picks up, it's usually Dahlia who makes the call but now her mother.

“Kani..” His voice was as hoarse as after crying. “Mother is pregnant again.” He continued and like being struck by lightning during the day, Kani leaned her back on the bed with a broken motion.

“Kok can?” Voice's up. “Mother intentionally even though many children also?” sans annoyance.

“Mother is two months late, nauseous, dizzy. I'm not strong, Kani. It was right to the market Mother prank to Midwife to replace the same Pill KB injection, but it turned out this way...I dare not say with father, only you who just know.”

Kani clucked a little and Bu Ismi gasped. “Young pregnancy alone is risky let alone pregnancy in old age.” He protests! Her words made Ms. Ismi cry, hoping to ease the burden by telling her but in fact...

Elsewhere, Amarendra was talking on the phone with Mommy. Mother suddenly picked up Lusi and Geri after hearing Mother fall in the bathroom. Geri is initially reluctant to accept the existence of her in-laws, but her home results from her work with Lusi.

Susi desperately opposed her husband, she was indeed not a good child, indeed, but guilt abandons Mother and Amarendra to the point of making it to the mind and it is better to leave the house if Geri does not want to accept the existence of Mother. Geri, although rough and stupid but with Susi, recalled how they were difficult to be together because of the opposition of Lusi's father.

They do not want because Mother who is supposed to be their responsibility to make their household run aground. When communicating well, equally aware of each other's mistakes, there will be no unsolved household complications.

“You've quit the restaurant, then where are you, son?” Mother was very worried, almost crying.

“Di Bandung, Bund. If the attitude of Lusi and Geri makes Mother even more sick, mending Bunda stay with Abah,” straightforwardly anxious.

“This mother is just a daughter-in-law, not good to live with in-laws who have been alone for years, fear of slander. Here, right, indeed the child and daughter-in-law of Mother, Mother is also happy to be close to grandchildren.” It was clear from her cheerful voice, even Isabel was on her lap.

“Don't hide anything from me, Bund.” Amarendra still does not believe Lusi and Geri will take care of Mommy.

“Not going. She how is she?”

“Dia good.” Amarendra smiled sweetly. “Mothers want grandchildren from me and Kani?” He grinned wide and Mother nagged.

“Married not yet. Is it that serious?”

“Mother thought we were messing around? Serious, dong, Bund.”
