The anticipated day happened, for the first time Mother went to Kani's house and met her parents. Mr. Muji just found out that Pak Haji Salim is the grandfather of Amarendra. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Until it's time for Kani to come out. Amarendra was fixated with lips mute. Beautiful and graceful woman whose face is framed with a veil of color in line with her danger. Kani is hard enough to find. He was also helped by Kenanga who was proficient.
When the ring is placed. Kani and Amarendra sat up and smiled broadly. The happy moment is clearly mandatory.
Later that night, Kani sees all the photos of her engagement moments. He smiled looking at Amarendra's face which was widening a big smile.
“She's handsome, huh?” Kani shows it to Dahlia and Kenanga.
“Yes, yes, your future husband is even more handsome than our husband.” Dahlia laughed as she watched Kani drown her face on the pillow. Mr. Muji and Ms. Ismi looked at each other with smiles. They're happy.
And tomorrow, Kani is working as usual. Everyone noticed his excited departure.
“Yesterday his face was full of sadness and now radiated happiness. I can't wait to see her wearing a wedding dress, even Bu Sri said for the matter her son named Lusi will take care of it. They love Kani.” very much Miss Ismi smiled.
“Alhamdulillah,” said Mr. Muji.
“Yes he yesterday was sad and now his own smiles, it makes no difference, even more strange,” chirped Shamsir and Bu Ismi nagged him.
However, there is a moody before Kani's wedding, the ultimate fear of losing her favorite brother. After marriage, obviously the time will no longer be, her brother will be busy with her husband, the boy thought innocently.
Chapter: Getting More Contained
The wedding invitation card between Kaniraras Mawardhani and Amarendra Tamales was spread out, to the surprise of many people especially those who yesterday nosy annoying Kani. Kani really keeps her promise by getting married and spreading invitations, especially the man who will be her husband is the man she really wants.
The morning that made Amarendra's heart pound unsettled. His face was pale, he had never felt such a severe nervousness, and hoped that his tongue would not stumble let alone slip and would make him the subject of ridicule of his friends. Mother until rubbed the sweat on the nape of her child. All eyes were on Amarendra and Mr Muji who had shaken hands. All who want to capture direct their phones. As the lip bar held out the qobul ijab with one breath and clear, all exclaimed out loud to greet Mr. Penghulu. Validly!
The body of Amarendra who sat cross-legged then looked relaxed because it looked so tense before. He rubbed his face after the prayer was over, his lips were smiling and Kani was already completely his.
But a few moments later, Kani who did not come out made him and everyone astonished. Mr. Muji got up when his shoulder was pierced by Shamsir. Mr. Penghulu said it was natural that nervousness was felt the most by the bride especially he knew that the woman named Kaniraras had failed to marry. But now, she was married by a man who was not just any man.
The murmur grew louder as relatives and guests wondered. Amarendra got up to pick up his wife but as he looked from the lips of the bridal chamber door. Kani was crying and hugged Mr. Muji tightly. Amarendra smiled and let.
“Come, everyone wants to see let alone your husband, Nak.” Mr. Muji smiled warmly, guiding his son out and all eyes noticed but Kani was too limp to continue her steps.
“Bapak,” he said in a choked voice. Both of his hands were wrapped around Mr. Muji's neck.
“Kani.” Ms. Ismi pulled her shoulder but still could not until Amarendra requested that Kani be left alone first.
“Pak, sorry Kani.” He continued to cry and Mr. Muji slowly filled up. His son was so sad on his happy day. Maybe because she was going to be taken by her husband, she thought. “Kani is always rude, always prejudiced, always troublesome...Kani who always asked without wanting to be self-conscious, you obey all of Kani's will even though he had to bother doing anything and never wanted to tell anyone. Kani was wrong, Mr.” His breathing was stingy and Amarendra kept staring at Kani who was behind him.
“Kani much wrong Father, sorry. Until this big Kani can not repay anything the services of the Father. Even often yell at you, sorry Kani. It is not your fault if you cannot meet the needs of your household. All that is really not the fault of the Father, it's the fault of this son of the Father who always demands.”
“What are you talking about, son? It is the duty of the Father to love his own child, want you or others. Don't feel guilty, I forgive all the mistakes you've done, let them pass. Now I'm glad you already have a husband that you really crave. Come on, hurry up and see him.”
Kani shook her head, feeling that it was not enough that she apologized and hugged her Father who somehow the last time she hugged and apologized. Sinned once he as a child, demanding can, when unfulfilled angry, a little bit snapping but never his father bring up. Wanting to be praised when successfully fulfilling whatever her child wants, telling her how difficult it is to achieve. His father was never like that.
While for Mr. Muji, Kani is the heart and hero in his family, carrying all the burden at a young age, taking care of his younger siblings even taking care of himself when he was sick. Kani is a child that he is always proud of everyone.. Not because he was compassionate but he was amazed by all the strange problems his son faced. His son stood firm for his family. Not all mothers and fathers can have children like that, Mr. Muji felt lucky even though his heart loved to throb when he heard Kani blurting out inappropriate words and snapping just because he was discussing things for his own good.
Kani's embrace slowly loosened after Mr. Muji calmed her down with gentle whispers of affection. Kani's hand fumbled over the hard shoulder she was leaning on, so strongly bearing the burden and swallowing herself all the grievances.
With love, Mr. Muji grabbed his son's hand and kissed his back then he put Kani's palm on his cheek. Kani kept crying and Mr. Muji tightened his embrace.
“Come, I want to see you with your husband. Amarendra's waiting, son. She's already tense and don't make her even more tense because of your crying.”
Kani nodded small and pulled her right cheek, peeked the left cheek of her Father and her cheek was gently patted by Mr. Muji then Mr. Muji dropped a small kiss on his forehead. Kani smiled and she looked at her mother. Hugged her tightly and her mother assured her that she was the same, forgiving all her mistakes and apologizing as well.
Kani's tears were gently rubbed by Kenanga, afraid of ruining her makeup. Kani smiled and looked down when faced with Amarendra who was wearing all white clothes. He couldn't look up to see it, but the man was even idly bowing his head right in front of his face. Everyone laughed and Kani shook her hands. He was hired to finish the session that both had to do. Signed.
Amarendra smiled proudly carrying Kani in front of everyone.
Kani's eyes glanced at the newly arrived Purwa. Purwa waved happily and was really happy to see Kani being with Amarendra. The two loved each other, could not be separated anymore and the sad face that he had always seen, was now so beautiful and radiated happiness.
Time passed and tired struck, both of them were silent when they saw their group of school friends just coming. Amarendra raised his hand when he saw Yana and Raihan.
“Maren.” Kani frowned when her lips were touched.
“I'm just making sure your lips are clean.” He grinned and glanced at Heri. Wanna show off. Heri looks cold snorting. He fulfilled the invitation alone because he was single, even a lover he did not have.
“Kani is so beautiful. Pangling.” They were enthusiastic and Kani smiled. Some approached and Kani asked them to eat first.
Kani and Amarendra leave the pelaminan, they sit among them all. Teti is invisible, she moves out of town with her husband and Reva who may not want to. Kani it's all right that matters she's been inviting without distinguishing.
“Not the Reva wants to marry again?” They started to squash.
“Her men do not want to accept the child he brought, daughter is not clear whose father.”
“She got pregnant first.”
“Loh, instead of her ex-husband son Kyai?” astounded.
“New marriage of three Weeks has been left, after the child was born divorced, Reva dropped out of school due to pregnancy, found out after he was married, Reva, it was an arranged marriage not because she wanted to but it turns out she was already pregnant regardless of whose child. His mother and father divorced, his mother cheated. He lives with his son now. Don't know what job he's making to meet the needs of life.”
“When he was caught stealing in the market, was hit by a jam because it was often.”
The image growled when all eyes were on him because Arif had a very long relationship with Reva and Rere who was not far from them immediately pale, and then he was instantly pale, it clearly feels insinuating life that is not much different from the life of Reva.
Kani slowly glanced at Mr. Ganda who also looked down limply at the gossip of his friends.
“You're accusing my brother? It wasn't his son because it was DNA testing.” The image is muscular and Kani squeezes her knee.
“What can this chat be stopped? Not everyone is comfortable hearing it,” reprimanded Amarendra.
“We don't want our happy event to be a place to talk about the pain of others, it's very inappropriate. Everything Reva did was definitely a lot of reasons. He's our friend, don't be like this just because he's not in front of us right now,” he said gently but straightforwardly and Amarendra grabbed his fingers. Kani looked slowly and the two looked closely.
“Sorry, Kani.” They regretted it and Kani smiled blandly.
Guests are shrinking and Kani is massaging her tired forehead. All his friends said congratulations and went home. While Citra, she chose to wait for them all to leave.
“Kani, I'm sorry for all my mistakes. Really, I wanted to say this but selfishness denied it. We were so mean to you. Reva also wanted to call you once but no one knew your phone number or anything else, because coming to you directly was not easy for him. What you said earlier really makes me feel ashamed.” Her lips twitched and Kani hugged her tightly.
“I've forgiven it's just so hard to forget, please forgive me too and don't discuss it anymore because it really makes my soul that has not fully healed from the trauma...crushed to the ground hear your hardikan.” Kani closed her eyes and Citra cried even harder.
Kani smiled and looked at the departure of everyone.
At night, outside the room everyone was still busy chatting but not inside the bridal room. Amarendra sat cross-legged, his elbows propped up on the bed as well with his tired back he was leaning on. He smiled and noticed Kani sitting on his two legs, the two legs of the woman deliberately stretched and bent. He embraced his shoulders and occasionally stroked his wife's so tender arms.
The two were having a light conversation and were watching the ring and Henna in Kani's hands.
“Maren, I saw her son Kirana, very funny but I doubt I want to approach her,” said Kani and Amarendra smiling. “What is your job in Kirana office?”
“Your husband is a Manager, I just obey the will of Om Sutan, initially I was appointed as CEO but I do not want, it will be more difficult because I am the CEO of a business that I designed long enough. Kirana does not understand the business world, I was asked to watch her timidly make the company bankrupt.”
“You must be very tired, I will massage your head every time you go home to work.” He turned his head and quickly dodged as his second lip stuck.
Amarendra kissed her cheeks and Kani grimaced.
“Not necessary, just welcome and hug me.”
“Have you really never been in a relationship with anyone during our separation? I have a little doubt.” Kani smiled lethargicly.
“Some times, selected Mommy or Lusi, or also my friends and the longest lasting only the process ta’aruf, and, because I never had the intention to contact and get to know each other then the women made the choice not to continue to the level of more serious. I don't know how many hearts I hurt, it's worse if I keep getting married. Not perfecting worship later and even cause a lot of problems. I just focus on making my family happy, especially Mother. Ayas Tamales is quite difficult to develop at the beginning, his capital is not enough from the results I work in Japan, he said, Om Sutan offers a loan but I have to help take care of her company because she can't give Kirana full confidence.”
“Suami Kirana?” sahut fast.
“They rarely meet, her husband is also a businessman in Germany.” Amarendra smiled and continued, “I've pioneered the culinary business too now, it seems I need your help.”
“I'm not good at business.” Kani laughed crisply. “My support as a wife is to pray and support, if possible it will help with something else. But I hope you're not too busy, I really want to spend a lot of time with you.”
Amarendra smiled and pressed the woman's head then dropped a small kiss.
The heads of both are attached also with the cheeks and nose deliberately made together. Both of them did not expect to enjoy such togetherness.
“Are you tired?” amarendra asked quietly and Kani gave a small nod.
“Maren, will we immediately think about having children?” Kani turned her head and the two noses clashed as well as her second breath.
“I want to quickly have children, twins Lima all so that you only feel the pain once.” She smiled as Kani flicked her nose.
“Do not talk carelessly, you think having children is easy? Are we not going to date first and then think about the child?”
“You're not ready yet? Why don't we put everything in destiny while enjoying this marriage, have a child or wait. I don't want to be blocked with pills, drugs and stuff. Don't you see your husband is old?” She bites Kani's earlobe after brushing her hair and Kani screams stifled.
“Do not, outside many people.” Kani stared while touching her reddened ears and Amarendra laughed crisply instead.
“You're always adorable, Kani. Come here, I want to hug you tight.” She smiled and Kani leaned on her shoulder.
“You're not old, Maren. Still far to be called already aged.”
“But Mother and Lusi always call me that. Look at me now, Kani. Am I ugly? I feel like I'm getting older and messy.”
Kani chuckled softly and cupped her husband's two cheeks. “Your family says it's because you never got married, just like me, at this age. I was seen as an old lady.” Kani smiled and Amarendra kissed her lips. Feeling wet and Kani pokes her lips for a moment, she continues after touching the face in front of her and Amarendra is glued to look at her. “You are a little different from before, looking more authoritative and mature, at this age. Men are at the peak of glory in their physical and physical appearance as well as their thoughts. I've read that from a book and after seeing you I believe.” His eyes did not stop down Amarendra's face.
Amarendra smiled and stroked the tapered cheek before him with the back of his hand.
“First, you were cute, and sweet. Now beautiful, sweet plus graceful due to maturity.” His head tilted slightly and Kani blushed hearing it.
Kani felt her hair standing up as Amarendra pulled her hair to the side. Amarendra was silent at his wife's neckline, slowly pulling the strap a little until he could see the protruding shoulder blades. His eyes glanced at Kani's face which was so tense.
Not long ago the two made out, a loud knock on the door had already made the heart jump and both stopped. The two chuckled and frowned when they saw the shocked faces of each other.
“I go out first.” Amarendra got up after Kani came down from his lap.
Kani looked at her departure and she crawled up on the bed, playing on her phone and due to exhaustion she fell asleep. Miss Ismi who saw her daughter-in-law outside knocked on Kani's room door. He smiled when he saw his son was asleep. He pulled the blanket and came out, just wanting to deliver drinking water.
