The Shah of First Love

EXPIRE

As Amarendra was about to return after chatting with Yana and Raihan, he was a little awkward from being stared at by those who had not slept. After opening the door and entering the room. He felt relieved instead of playing and saw Kani was already completely asleep. He smiled and locked the door, very slowly, full of caution, if it made a sound, it was very obvious and made everyone outside would whisper and laugh at each other. Being a newlywed is very reasonable to be in the spotlight. Guess what they did in the room. Even if they want to turn over it is up to them. Souls want to know it is hard to control.

Slowly, Kani opened her eyes and was glued to her husband's face.

“Maren, I overslept. Sorry.”

“Sleep again, dawn is still long, I won't interrupt tonight but let me hug you.”

Kani smiled and placed her hand on her husband's neck.

“Then why haven't you slept? Still look fresh fit.” As Kani looked with her eyes slowly docked, Amarendra reasoned that she had only woken up, she stroked Kani's hair until Kani was drifting back in the dream. Amarendra was still observing the face before him. If the moon out there can be seen by everyone, in contrast to the moon in his arms, only he has the right to it.

The first morning as a married couple who have not done the activity, still make all eyes fixed on those who are even awkward to look at each other.

“Kani, no guests!” mom and Kani shouted to see who was coming. Reva with a pale face and alone. Kani smiles and Amarendra bellows away with a grim face, Kani stares for a moment at the disappearance of her husband who blatantly shows dislike.

“Come.” Kani reaches out her hand and she takes Reva in, sits down together, and Reva gives a gift that is immediately stared suspiciously at by the observing Amarendra. She was afraid Kani would be hurt again.

“Kani, I came here not easy, really need courage so I can see you.” He was bowed full of regrets. “I decided to come today so as not to meet with others.”

Slowly, Kani clasped her hand. “I was waiting for you. It wasn't easy for you for me either, but now you're coming and I'm so happy, why don't you take your son?”

Reva slowly smiled thinly. “There's my mom coming so I can go. That day at the Shop, I'm sorry.”

Kani sighed and tightened her grip. “I'm the one who should be apologizing, I even did worse.I, who used to steal your phone, Rev. I'm sorry.”

 They both regret what happened.

“I already know.” Reva raised her face and Kani flinched. The weak eyes of Reva glanced at Amarendra. “After graduation day, Amarendra came to see me, told me everything and asked me to stop bothering you because I was already suspicious of you and then strengthened when I heard you went to Dahlia's class just to keep something in her bag. I was angry and upset, because I was scolded by my parents because the phone was gone but Amarendra explained the cause and I felt ashamed for hurting you. I reap the fruits of what I plant, a God who even instantly avenges everything that I give to you and to the people around me.”

Kani shook her head and then the two hugged each other tightly.

“Everyone leaves me, all who come have their wishes and I wasted all your sincere outlines and made use of them.” Her cries grew even more intense and Kani pressed her nape.

Reva continued to sob until she calmed down and the two took off hugs, released each other that had passed and both smiled sincerely grasping at peace. Reva and other perpetrators of bullying years ago on Kani feel grateful saved, because Bully in this day and age is so easily viral through social media, if social media used to be violent now, if social media, maybe they've been blasphemed all over the country. Bad treatment experienced by Kani is not easy to forget, he always avoids when meeting school friends especially when there is a reunion, let alone to come, intending to be at a glance unimaginable.

After Reva came home, Kani waited for Amarendra to enter, the man appeared after opening the door, his half-drenched body wrapped in a towel from his waist down. He forgot to bring the shirt until he had to cross both hands on his chest all the way from the bathroom to the current room.

"Kani, I'm wet. Let me get dressed.” Amarendra gasped as his wife hugged him, in such a state. Is his wife ready this afternoon?

“Why don't you ever ask permission to do anything, and why is everything for my own good? I feel flattered after knowing and I feel like the most precious human being for your treatment.”  She kept her arms around her husband's neck. Amarendra was silent to hear his wife was so serious.

“You are indeed valuable, Kani.” He pulled both of his wife's shoulders back and both of them were fixed. Kani turned her face to see what was plastered before her. He hurriedly dodged and climbed onto the bed. Amarendra chuckles at his wife's embarrassment.

The most sad day but also can not do anything when Kani was brought to Jakarta. Finally did not say anything but after the car left, he cried hysterically and Kani was silent daydreaming until Amarendra continued to calm him.

Being close to Mommy and staying at Lusi's house created endless tension for Kani for days but it didn't happen again after she was a week there. Taking care of her husband, preparing all the necessities of work, the streets, and others make time not seem to pass until Amarendra takes her with Mother moved to a house in Bandung. It's about an hour's drive from Kani's house to their current home. The Kani family came too. Move at once held a thanksgiving event. Kani continues to step foot into every corner of her new two-story house. The smell of paint still rips through the nose. Amarendra had long bought the house because Abah urged, unoccupied is also not an important problem purchased first because the price is quite low with the area of land that will not be obtained at that price elsewhere, it only requires renovation at some points of the building is still sturdy.

Kani is very happy with her family too.

“Maren, what....my family at any time if you want to come here to visit me, can?” his words were slightly stifled and Amarendra got up, approaching him who was standing in front of the mirror.

“Why should I ask for permission?” His face began to close. “This is your house. Invite and let them come at will, I am happy to hear, this is not as far from Bandung to Jakarta as yesterday.”

“Thank you, Amung must be happy, he was so spoiled for me and even cried when I left the house. I'm not like a sister but like a second mother to her.” Kani was happy.

Slowly moving away, Kani exits the room after passing through the door to the balcony. Standing there gazing around the dark with the cooling wind and the blanket-clad Amarendra approached, docked, hugged her from behind, giving her life-lover warmth and her hands never stopped stroking Kani's stomach. Amarendra realized that his wife's body was getting fuller.

“Kani, I love you and I feel proud to have you,” whispered Amarendra and Kani turned her head while widening her sweet smile.

It is true that life is only limited to prejudices, and a bad habit breeds many misunderstandings, separates commitment to love, and binds to the true pseudo happiness side by side with misery.

In this world it is not only about the love story of Kaniraras and Amarendra that is complicated because of the birth of misunderstandings from prejudice and the departure of ‘Without Pamit’ that is more sick and complicated.
