The Shah of First Love

EQUALS

Kani is stuck staring at the ring Amarendra gave her, she slowly takes off her engagement ring with Kalingga then wears the one Amarendra gave her. She kissed him and gasped when his mother entered the room suddenly.

“Today we go to see kebaya for you to wear later, Teh.” Bu Ismi stared at Kani's upright back and Kani nodded her head.

“Bu, Father come home when?” ask Dahlia.

“Today and do not leave again, will be busy taking care of the wedding Teteh.” Ms. Ismi continued her steps into the kitchen and Dahlia smiled.

During the day, Kani thinks she went with her mother but turns out to be with Kalingga. Kalingga was so happy to see Kani wearing the white wedding kebaya. They were there long enough to get out and Kalingga invited Kani to eat. Kani had refused, he was full plus no taste but Kalingga forced. Both of them were noisy and Kani grimaced as her hand was blocked and she had no choice but to comply.

They ate at a feeding ground beneath a lake. Kani is very quiet, let alone whine spoiled at Kalingga, docked he hesitated. Aware of being rude, Kalingga approached and grabbed the hand of his future wife.

“Darling, we'll get married soon, stop this attitude, no good. Sorry for being rude.” Kalingga continued to look and his eyes swept around.

“I want to go home, Mas.” Kani kept her head down and raised her eyes as Kalingga's face approached. The lips were almost there and the shadow of Amarendra's face appeared to make him realize to be fast away, he was silent when he remembered the breath of Amarendra, warm lips, and soft kisses. He couldn't take it from another man. A terrible question suddenly rang in his ear.

Are you sure you're going to marry her, Kani?

His heart cried out softly, asking.

Kalingga distanced his face, not because Kani avoided also his face that suddenly pale, but it was a good opportunity because there was no one around them.

“Recognitive small kiss, Kani. Don't be afraid.” He persuaded and Kani opened her eyes. “You've never done it? Come here, I'll teach you.”

Kani thrashed and glared. “MAS!” it snapped loudly and Kalingga was silent.

Kani pushes Kalingga and he comes out first. Soon Kalingga followed with a sour face. Kani feels like going home alone but that guy is going to make trouble. Kani goes up and is silent.

“Who enjoyed your lips first before me, your future husband?” Kalingga is upset and Kani is silent. “Who took your first kiss, Kani?” the question is more pressing while driving forward the vehicle.

“Nobody snatched, I gave it myself,” said Kani muttered and because of the noise Kalingga could not hear her words.

Kalingga thought Kani was so innocent, Kalingga mistook her and upon arriving home, Kani went straight into the room. Bu Ismi invites Kalingga in but Kalingga refuses, he leaves because there is a small problem at home, Bela sends him a message.

The next day, Kani wears a hoodie jacket for her to use to wrap her head around. Kalingga came to see you. Mr. Muji who was outside was peeling coconuts just silently saw Kalingga could not help himself. They are getting married soon too. The two will meet no need to come to his house near.

“Why did you send SMS and phone calls last night?” ask Kalingga trivially.

“I'm tired, Mas. Sleep early.” Kani shifts the drink in front of the man and Kalingga is overjoyed.

“Iya indeed you should have a lot of rest.” Her hand flicked Hoodie over the jacket and her smile dimmed seeing Kani cut her hair short. “You cut it?” His eyes glared snobbishly.

“Iya, Mas. Long hair wasteful shampoo,” said Kani reasoned.

“Why don't you ask me? Mas love your long hair, Kani.” Kalingga was disappointed and Kani fell silent.

“My long hair that he really likes, I can't remove the tenderness he leaves on every strand but after cutting it too, it still feels.” Kani muttered inwardly and Kalingga looked up at the girl in silence.

The two turned their heads as Pak Parto, Bu Wati, and Bela followed. Mr. Muji who saw immediately asked Ms. Ismi in the kitchen who was making cakes for the future. I don't know what's going on, but Mr. Parto's face looks like it's going to create tension.

“Pak Parto has come home turned out,” said Mr. Muji friendly. “Please drink, Sir, Bu.”

“I am here not to mince words, this marriage we can not continue,” stressed Pak Parto and Kani who sat next to his mother immediately raised her head with wide eyes. Whatisthis?

In the kitchen everyone was no less surprised to hear it.

“What is this problem, sir? Origin cancel, did you not see all the preparations in our house.” Mr. Muji felt played let alone see the reddened face of his son. Ms. Ismi continues to calm Kani down by rubbing her shoulders.

“Pak..” Kalingga leaned his body. “Don't do this, I want to get married soon, not because of trivial problems Father at will,” he continued, whispering.

With arrogance Pak Parto stood up and pointed at Kani. “You want to marry him? Who even got pregnant to abort her, she's not in school, far away from you who's well educated. You will not even connect if you discuss, you should say this is the same Father, you will not agree from the beginning if you know, you should be able to choose the equivalent!” His hands did not stop pointing at Kani.

Kani gasped and continued to sob, her three sisters from the kitchen approached, they stared intently at the Kalingga family who could not accept Kani insulted.

“My son never got pregnant, it's slander, the problem is also settled, Kani is not wrong.” With a stumbling mother defending her child and Kani holding her mother's knee to stay seated.

“Everyone knows what Mr. Muji's son looks like, I can't accept the fact that my son doesn't see the lips, bebet, and weight of the woman he's going to make his wife. It tarnishes the good name of our family.” Mr. Parto was annoyed and annoyed at Kalingga.

“Restu from me is not just a formality, I educate my children well and I do not want with the entry of Kani into Our family, it will be destructive, it will be, will continue to be discussed the past and plus him who is not educated.” Her palms swayed in front of Kani, wanting to show that Kani was inappropriate for her child.

Kalingga lowered his head as Kani glanced at him. The loser didn't even dare to defend him.

Mr. Muji was devastated, sick, unable to hear Mr. Parto's curse until he boarded the apoplexy, pushing them all out of his house and Ms. Ismi woke up. The male relative suggested for the matter to be negotiated as the marriage was soon to come. Mr. Muji did not want, what would his son be like if he really married Kalingga who even became mute in front of his honorable family.

“Pak, hold, Sir. You can do this, persuade them and explain that it is slander.” Ms. Ismi tearfully asked and Mr. Muji clutched the back of the chair.

“It was indeed slander and they could find out the truth by asking nicely but the fact that I was uneducated, Mom wanted to say let alone?” Kani spoke as she shed her tears, she dropped the engagement ring on the table and locked herself in the room. Dahlia and Kenanga enter, calming Kani down.

All the relatives were confused, pacifying Ms. Ismi, Mr. Muji escorted the Judge and the others to Kalingga's house. They still do not want to continue, feeling humiliated because they were expelled even though they were scornful to reproach Kani.

At night they did not get good news, resigned and Kani just stopped crying. He was asleep in his mother's lap. Mr. Muji was silent in the living room, Kani's three sisters in the room daydreaming at each other occasionally staring.

The heavy rain outside spiced up the atmosphere of sadness they felt. The pile of coconuts outside was lying irregular, all the relatives who came to help make the cake came home except the Judge's family. The failure of Kani's marriage made the whole village boisterous. Everyone knew and had to back off their intention to come see the wedding and Kalingga and his family were silent after humiliating the Kani family.

A woman who fails to get engaged is always the subject of ridicule in the village especially like Kani who failed to get married. Before the day H who will put the guarantee back by carrying their goods, concerned.

“Where is Amarendra, Rai?” Yana asked, the two were talking about Kani at Pos Ronda.

“Not knowing, she's gone already this week.” Raihan bowed down with regret, he felt that Kani's marriage failed because of her dirty mouth, he cursed the marriage failed because Kani had hurt Amarendra and now? What happened to Kani took her by storm.

“What is he to Malang, Rai?”

“No idea but he said he would attend Kani's wedding but it's been a few days since H, he never showed up. I'm afraid he's reckless to hurt himself because of a broken heart.” Raihan looked down deeply and for days he always tried to call his best friend but nil.

Yana was silent and didn't want to talk anymore. If Amarendra leaves Kani because of heartache, Amarendra also leaves everyone who loves him.

The man's trail can't even trace, like it's gone to earth, and Kani, who's waiting for him, can only be busy asking why Amarendra didn't come even if the marriage failed, and she's desperate to cry for him, he complained that he was insulted and hurt. Kani believes Amarendra will calm her down. But two weeks from that day, Amarendra did not come.
