Three Years Different

54: Abhimata and Abhimana

"So, Linggar and Lingga want to go to the pesantren?"

Lutfan nodded.

"Gue knows they're Doctor Gumira's son. But maybe they don't know anything about you. So ..." Lutfan looked at Mardiyah. "No pa-pa, right? What if they come here?"

Mardiyah, who was standing in front of the dressing table, walked back to her bedside. "No pa-pa. You said they were also looking for knowledge in the pesantren, right? I just want to avoid it because of my problems."

"Thank you, Mar."

"What time is it here?"

Lutfan looked up, saw the wall clock. "It's about ten o'clock."

Mardiyah nodded. Then he got up to the bathroom to brush his teeth, after which he came back out to approach Lutfan. "I'm helping you take a shower, will you?"

"E-don't do it."

Mardiyah smiled faintly as she saw both of her husband's cheeks flushed out. "You are ... since when are you shy?"

"Sorry, Mar! Do you think ... There are people who are not ashamed of this? If it is often, maybe ordinary people. Lah I .. e-elo just got married."

Mardiyah retreated, sitting more to the edge of the bed. "I am ashamed. But not as shy as you. Besides, it is precisely because we are husband and wife there is no need to be that shame."

"Updah-udah, Mar. This language .. I don't like."

Aldo, Linggar, Lingga and Vincent arrived early unlike he had expected. Around nine o'clock more they had arrived at the orphanage and Lutfan was forced to welcome the rush. Fortunately the guest dishes are still there, and Mardiyah has not gone anywhere.

"Gue Denger .. You're married, are you?" ask Linga.

Lutfan nodded.

"Lo want to follow?" sahut Linggar while looking at his twin brother.

Netra Linga widened. "No. Later aja. I haven't found the right one yet. Not you first, do you want to follow? I'm asking you to marry Mama."

Instantly Lingga silenced to see the sharp glances of Linggar. Not long Aldo said, "There are still more friends I want impromptu dateng. No pa-pa, right? It just so happened that they were Lingga's equal Linggar."

Brother Lingga with Linggar? Dong adiwangsa? lutfan who was still silent wondered.

"No pa-pa, right, Lut?"

"It's not pa-pa."

From the direction of the kitchen hall Mardiyah came closer with her flat expression, serving iced tea in the morning towards this afternoon to her husband's friends.

"Thank you, Ma'am," said Aldo who can not be separated to look at every movement of Mardiyah from the beginning come and go. Until his eyes meet Lutfan. "Just say thank you, Lut. I know that girl's your wife."

Suddenly Aldo's device rang.

"Hello. Lo where is it?"

" ..."

"Huh? Front gate? Okay-okay I otw."

Aldo clearance out. Then soon came about fifteen minutes with people who had never been expected by Lutfan. It turned out that it was Abhimata and Abhimana, the two twins who were the children of Gautama Adiwangsa.

"Know them Abhimata and Abhimana."

Abhimata was seen to be welcoming while Abhimana was reluctant but forced due to his brother's mane. "Greetings get back. Sorry if it's not much food here."

"Liet. It's delicious, really."

Lutfan fiddled with his salary for a moment, sending a message to Mardiyah to send two more drinks. Because of this one unexpected guest.

"He's his wife Lutfan" whispered Aldo to Abhimata who immediately at that moment also looked at Mardiyah.

When he saw Mardiyah Abhimana said, "Lo kok .. is here? Lo--"

"This girl is his wife Lutfan," said Linggar immediately made Abhimana sculpt as well.

Mardiyah who heard the familiar voice immediately looked up, that second also pecked. Abhimana's? Abhimata's? They're here? inner Mardiyah was involuntarily holding the tray tightly. "I'm sorry" he said when he woke up.

Arriving in the kitchen back, Mardiyah sat with a tray that was still in her hands. His heart was still pounding, he shook in disbelief with what he had seen earlier. "Where can ... they come here? They can't be ..."

"Lho Nak ..."

Mardiyah. "U-umma?"

"Cock is still here, son? Umma thought you were in the pesantren. In front too, it's Lutfan's friends, huh?" umma Sarah.

Umma Sarah nodded. "If Umma wants to take a shower, son. If you're leaving, don't forget the door lock."

"Yes, Umma."

A moment later, Sarah entered the bathroom. Sawai Mardiyah, located on the table, said that there was a message coming in from Lutfan.

Lutfan

Mar, I went to the boarding house first

^^^ Yes, be careful

Lutfan

Later you will follow, huh?

Sorry we can't go there together

^^^ It is not pa-pa^^^

^^^ Later I followed^^^

After the Mardiyah Zuhr prayer followed Lutfan to the pesantren. All of you want to meet Alma too, but it turns out that Alma and Jafar are traveling around the outlet together.

Then he decided to tour the park near the pesantren, while waiting for a reply from Lutfan. His thoughts were not far from the coming of Abhimata and Abhimana. Do the two kids hate him? Or planning something? Mardiyah. Nope-no. It cannot be prejudiced. But why stay here for a week? If there is no other meaning.

"Excuse me, Ma'am. I'd like to ask."

Heard a familiar voice in his ears. Mardiyah turned and stared, as she hung. "Abhimana ..." he murmured.

"Oh. Elo .. not so." Abhimana turned around instantly. Then a moment later it stopped, and turned around again. "Ekhm, dude. Coincidentally met, I .. I want to ask elo."

Mardiyah.

"So you're married? Same Lutfan? The same guy I was with Abhimata?"

Mardiyah looked towards. "As you can see."

Abhimana clucked, for some reason sounding like a mockery in Mardiyah's ear. "Great Lo can also get a husband like Lutfan. Kiai's grandson again."

Mardiyah.

"He's three years different. Greatable. As if by marriage the same he lives you do not suffer very much." Abhimana. "Yes though ... Lutfan is paralyzed, a bit useless not even pa-pa, right? What matters is that the money is there. Aye, right?"

Mardiyah moved, about to step away.

"So can dong. Don't bother my family. Don't ask to admit it to Papa---"

Mardiyah stopped stepping, staring at Abhimana flatly. "What are your goals here for, Abhimana? To go to a boarding school or to find out my life?"

Abhimana.

"And again. Whatdidyou say? Asking to be acknowledged by your father?" Mardiyah smiled obliquely. "When did I ask that? The one who wants to do a DNA test is Mr. Gautama. Not me."

Mardiyah lowered her head reluctantly to look at Abhimana, preferring to look at the ground covered with grass. "I was a little grateful, by meeting Mr. Gautama I understood my status as a child. The rest I regret."

"Nyesel lo say?" abhimana.

Mardiyah looked up again, looking at the astonished gazes from Abhimana.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Abhimana. You think I'd willingly destroy someone else's family?" Mardiyah shook her head slowly and looked the other way. "I wouldn't be that bad. And anyway ..."

Netra Mardiyah glazed to remember what was said by Mr. Manggala at that time. "Your own grandfather who wanted to bring me into the Adiwangsa family. I didn't ask for it, knowing that Mr. Gautama is my father was enough, Abhimana!"

Abhimana addressed Mardiyah.

"You think I need to live with my father? No! I don't need to. I don't need it!" Slowly Mardiyah looked up, her neutrals met the gaze of Abhimana. "So please .. don't ever think as if I'm destroying your happiness."

Unknowingly Mardiyah's tears were dripping. "It is precisely .. it seems that you are trying to destroy my happiness."

"What do you mean?"

Note:

Abhimana: rather naughty, emotional.

Abhimata: soft boy, somewhat calm/as per situation.
