Fature & Rina
early marriage

"We can still get divorced, right? We can get married, keep getting divorced? Is it hard anyway? We are ekting, pretending to be happy in front of them, remember just in front of them! Then we can make a scandal of infidelity, and you can file for divorce in a religious court." Fathur's ridiculous idea.

"Cih, you ugly story. I don't want to be a widow!" Rina looked at the night sky which was filled with stars.

"When you don't want to, there's one more option." Fathur purposely hung up his sentence. He was waiting for a question from the girl in front of him, but the girl never spoke. Fathur took a deep breath and said, "lo jump from here. If you die, we will not be married." his words get a plot from Rina.

"Why don't you jump?"

"Gue's a man and still got some self-respect."

Rina Gregetan herself saw the behavior of her future husband. "You can't handle a reasonable solution, mending lo diem." Rina leaves Fathur on the rooftop. While Fathur was silent while staring at the departure of Rina with his eagle eyes.

Lina returned to the buffet table and sat down at her original place. The people who initially laughed happily then became silent when they saw Rina coming alone.

"Cock spit? Which fathur?" ask Sarah.

"Here mah," Fathur appeared and walked with an upright body of wide steps, very cool and cool.

"Rin your future husband is the same level as I am handsome." whispered Revan who was repaid by the cynical gaze of Rina.

Rina saw Fathur was back in his chair. They continued the conversation, during the meal, Fathur and Rina just threw a cynical look at each other.

After that night they never met again until the wedding day came.

...•••...

A few days passed and the wedding preparations were finished. They were married at home simply because of their young age and at their supposed marriage had not been registered, but because their parents have such strong connections that they can legally marry from both religion and country.

Lina sat in front of the dressing table with teary eyes holding back tears. Now her face has been polished by bridal makeup. Rina uses Javanese traditional clothing according to her mother's request because they are of Javanese descent.

Many times Rina breathed out hoping that her wedding today was canceled. He hoped that the man who would become his husband managed to escape before the wedding day.

"Mama's son is beautiful," Ratna came and held onto Rina's lemongrass fingers.

Lina looked at her mother with red eyes as a result of holding back tears. "Sorry mom, I know it's hard for you." Mama Rina spoke again while looking at her son's eyes, while Rina, she only spoke a thousand languages. His mouth was silenced, even talking was difficult and useless.

"Fathur has come, and will soon make a deal. After that you and him will stay in your own house."

"That's outrageous! Rina's wrong What's so bad mama like this?"

"You're not wrong, I'm sorry, but it's your decision."

Lina threw away her reluctant face to see her mother's face, today on her 17th birthday, instead of going to celebrate with her friends, she was instead confined at home until the wedding was over, and worse yet he will live with a man he does not like at all.

"It's the worst birthday of my life" said Rina who was clearly heard in Ratna's ears.

Ratna didn't care about it, she walked out of the bridal room. While Lina, the girl stared at the ceiling of her room so that her tears would not spill.

From inside the room, Lina could hear everything. He heard when Fathur uttered the Kabul ijab pledge in a loud and clear voice. He also heard when everyone said it was legitimate. And at that time he realized that he had given up his single life.

Ratna brings Sarah back, they take Rina out of the room. Fathur looks more handsome using traditional Javanese groom clothes plus black blangkon batik patterned on his head adds an aesthetic impression.

"Why don't you run bego!" Lina whispered in Fathur's ear.

"Lo himself why not escape?" Fathur asked in a similar manner.

"Gue doesn't want to be a bum."

"Yes the same."

Their conversation ended with a cynical look.

"We officially become Sar besan, but it used to be just guyon (joking)" said Ratna Rina's mother.

"Yes haha" they laughed together. While Rina and Fathur looked depressed.

When finished, the event was disbanded, there was no reception, this was only kabul attended by the closest family.

Froth comes near to Rina, her stomach is distended. "sorry me, because I lo so in mating with mak lo." The foam stroked Rina's shoulders.

Rina did not answer Maih's words, because she did not know what to say. Her lips felt strange just to talk.

After the family gathering is over, Rina and Fathur are escorted to their own home. The house that is located in the middle (this means Ratna if you want to go to her house Sarah chewed the house of Fathur and Rina and vice versa)

Fathur and Rina sat together in the living room in silence. They do not sit side by side, but sit facing each other.

"Now what do you want? Make children?" Chirps Rina anyhow.

"Dirty! Nauzubillahs. I wouldn't want to do that the same thing even though I keep it."

"Gue doesn't want a dog either!" Lina narrowed her eyes.

Silent, they both fold their hands on their stomachs. "Gue lager, no food?" asked Fathur who was from this morning did not have a taste for food.

"Nothing, if you want to cook yourself! Oh yeah btw survived 17 years, I know this is your worst birthday in life, because I also do that."

"Hm yayaya," Fathur paid no heed to Rina's words.

...•••...

At night, they were both starving. Their parents deliberately prank them by not keeping a plate of mateng food, they only prepare raw ingredients which means Rina has to cook herself.

"So, you're a girl." Fathur told Rina as they passed each other on the stairs.

Lina rolled her eyes lazily, "lo, you have hands." Rina walked past Fathur.

Fathur's hands clenched, he was furious why he had to face this misfortune. He remembered the words of his parents before they went to Lina's house. "Jagain Rina, her parents gave Rina to you because they believe you can be responsible and that's okay with Rina before you graduate High School. Moreover, your marriage is not based on love. Don't think about divorce! Papa won't be your heir if you get divorced from Rina!"

"Damn it!" as Fathur said, he remembered that tomorrow was Monday and they had to go to school. (Oh yes, Rina's belongings with Fathur have been moved to their new home)
