Under the Hugs of the Colonial Army
The Shirekan
"Sri!" ryosuke's face turned serious looking at Sri Utami's face.
"Yes?" Sri Utami looked at Ryosuke's face with two eyes.
"How do you feel about me?" Ryosuke ventured to ask him something that he had been harboring all along.
"I-I, "Sri Utami cannot continue her sentence.
"Yes, you can't love me" Ryosuke guessed with a forced smile.
"It's not so," Sri Utami said making Ryosuke shake his heart.
Sri Utami breathed in as much air as possible to increase the power of saying it to Ryosuke. On the other hand, Ryosuke was already huffed to wait for the sentence that Sri Utami would say.
"Mr Ryosuke is indeed a little naughty at first I get very upset every time I meet. But the more you see me, the fading feeling turns into a comfort" Sri Utami said with a dimmed hue.
Ryosuke with a flowery heart smiled gleefully, let alone looking at Sri Utami who looked adorable with a hue on her face. Ryosuke emboldens Sri Utami and kisses her cheek.
"Thank you Sri, I'll calmly let you go now!" ryosuke said while tucking Sri Utami's hair.
"Alright, I seem to have to go into the house immediately," said Sri Utami who felt awkward and embarrassed.
Sri Utami immediately ran into the house, Ryosuke seemed to smile broadly staring at the departure of Sri Utami. Both heartbeats are racing. Sri Utami held onto her chest while leaning behind the door. Soendari watched Sri Utami's gurgle in surprise.
"Why Sri?" his tanyanya made Sri Utami aware.
"Ah it's okay," try to calm down.
"You went with commander Ryosuke? you've been with him a lot lately!" cerca Soendari introgates Sri Utami.
"Oh, Iya just accompany it," said Sri Utami shy away from Soendari's question.
"You're dating her? " tanya Soendari looked up.
"It's Soen, why are you asking that! " sri Utami said.
"This is important Sri! I'm your brother-in-law and your best friend needs to know!" snapped Soendari's easy emotions lately.
"I'm not dating him, we're just close! " sri Utami.
"I can't believe it!" said Soendari while leaving her waist.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't keep my promise, I didn't find Hardi's kang," Sri Utami said.
"You're switching Sri's conversation! I knew that Kang Hardi would not return, "Soendari said with tears in her eyes.
Sri Utami also stepped in to embrace Soendari who returned fragile, losing Hardi made him very hit. Meanwhile, Nyai Dasimah every day just stared at Hardi's clothes. Both women were very bad.

Sri Utami had finished the order dress for Ryosuke, he wrapped it in a newspaper and then put it in clear plastic. His heart stared at the clothes.
"Sri!" the voice behind the door called out to him.
"Yes mom?" sri Utami answered while opening the door.
"Hurry here, look who's coming!" nyai Dasimah said so sumringah.
Sri Utami followed Nyai Dasimah towards the front room, a local man was sitting down to enjoy the tea served. His face was shaken when he saw Sri Utami in front of him.
"Sri," a smile accompanied her greeting.
"Yes, why are you here Rahman?" ask Sri Utami.
"He intends to propose to you, Sri, " said Nyai Dasimah looking so happy.
Sri Utami stared in disbelief at Nyai Dasimah and alternately looked at Rahman.
"True Sri!" said Rahman while putting the cup
"I don't care about the issue that you've entered the ianjo's house, I'm determined to marry you!" rahman's voice sounded steady explaining to Sri Utami.
"Oh, yes Rahman, " said Sri Utami slowly.
"So how? are you willing to be my wife?" rahman asked with hopeful eyes.
Sri Utami looked at Nyai Dasimah who seemed happy, his mind was very chaotic and even more chaotic with Rahman's sudden proposal.
"Man, I-" his words stopped because of the sharp gaze of Nyai Dasimah who had guessed Sri Utami's answer.
"So soon, Rahman, Sri come with me! " syai Dasimah dragged Sri Utami into the kitchen.
Nyai Dasimah exhaled, staring fixedly at Sri Utami.
"Mom knows you'll turn him down! but how long will you refuse to marry Sri!" nyai Dasimah.
"I-I never thought I would marry Rahman," Sri Utami replied with a bow.
"Sri, please this time! you fulfill the wishes of the mother," Nyai Dasimah said as he made up his mind.
Sri Utami could not see Nyai Dasimah, who was considered her birth mother, begging her.
"Yes ma'am, let Sri consider it first!" sri Utami tried to calm her mother.
"Don't disappoint mom" said the teary Nyai Dasimah.
"Yes ma'am" said Sri Utami.
Sri Utami and Nyai Dasimah finally returned to meet Rahman who was sitting in the front room.
"Man, you know I don't like being mixed up?" lontar Sri Utami's.
"I don't even think I have more than one woman" Rahman said with a smile.
"When are we getting married?" sri Utami said that she dared to decide to accept Rahman.
"Certainly Sri?" rahman said he did not believe it.

Sri Utami runs into Ryosuke's yard while carrying a package of Ryosuke's clothes. Sri Utami sits limp to see Ryosuke's car not in place. Rahman's sudden proposal makes him late to meet Ryosuke one last time.
His feet slowly approached towards the already deserted door of the house. Her tears were irritated, disappointed, sad not to see Ryosuke one last time, and she would never see him again. Sri Utami crouched down stripping back at the door.
A woman dressed as kebaya, opened the door when she heard the sound of the sobs of someone crying.
"Sri?" tanya made Sri Utami rise and look at the cynical maid.
"Mr Ryosuke waited for you for so long, but he's a punctual person, he's gone!" said the maid.
"Yes I'm late!" sri Utami.
"Oohs. Here he left something for you!" said the maid while handing her a letter and kimono clothes.
Sri Utami receives the letter and the kimono, and her tears keep dripping, still feeling guilty towards Ryosuke.
******
For Sri, the,
If you receive this letter, the sign is that I am above the clouds. Sri, you were the first to take me off. I've never met a woman as gentle as you. Had we met earlier, I would have wanted to spend a lot of time with you, I would have continued to disturb you Sri, until you were angry. I really want to marry you, but I am a soldier who must obey and take responsibility, my life and my life belong to my country Sri. But I was grateful that upon my death, I felt in love. You are the last face my eyeball will see. Wear that kimono when you miss me.
The letter was folded back by Sri Utami, her eyes widened to read every verse of the sentence written by Ryosuke. It's true, some people will walk out of your life, but that's not the end of your story. But the end of their part in your story.
SERIATE...
