Gannaya, My Adore
Malvinia Aurora Artanegara's.

Usually people will wander to seek success, luck to seek more sustenance than already in the can. But things are different with Ammar. The man decided to migrate, just wanted to hide, protect the household and also wanted to start a new life with his heavenly angel with calm, safe and comfortable.

Langkai Island in the Makassar strait is an option given by Mahendra to Ammar. Because across the island, Mahendra has a factory that has been managed by his confidants.

And the man wants Ammar to take him. But Ammar refused, he just wanted to be an ordinary worker. Being a Director, will make him return to public appearances. Of course the disguise can be uncovered.

Pulai Langkai is an island that is often called a mirror island because it has clear sea water. The permanent inhabitants of this island are not many, only about 400 people.

The livelihood of residents here is a fisherman or rent services to be a tour guide. Not infrequently many tourists who come to this beautiful island for recreation. Langkai Island in Makassar is one of the beautiful marine tourism belonging to Indonesia.

The island has little electricity. Electricity can be obtained from generators that operate from 17:30 until 21:00 pm. The rest of Langkai Island will darken. Even so Ammar and Gana still receive shortages on the island. They stay. Ammar continues to live life with his wife and children here.

The house Mahendra built for Ammar and Gana is located furthest inland from the sea lip. A house that is still made of wood but strong. Inside are only two rooms. The bathroom is outside, using cubicles, because in the area where he lived there was no PAM.

The water they use comes directly from the well. Ammar diligently draw water for bathing, cooking water for drinking and other needs. Although a lifetime never felt like this, but Ammar was happy. Because he feels very calm.

"Bang, eat first." exclaimed Gana.

He put fried chicken and thawed on the dinner table. Gana breezed her way to the doorway, staring at her husband who was still hanging clothes in the yard.

"Yes for a moment, Dek." replied Ammar without turning his head. He was still focused on squeezing the clothes he had washed so that the water fell.

"Yes, Bang." Gana went inside again.

"Duh early in the morning, Daeng Ammar already sunning it!." goda Ruminah. An old widow whose son is already big. The woman stopped her bike after leaving the market. "Daeng Gana must still be sleeping." the woman whose hobby was gossiping was chuckling. Daeng is the greeting of people on this island such as teteh, mbak or uni.

Ammar laughed. "Against the big pregnancy, I'm kasian, Daeng. I woke up, cooked too. Didn't you kiss my wife's cooking?" Ammar defended with subtle innuendo.

Ruminah smiled wryly. His intention to heat up Ammar to make Gana's name ugly, but not successful. "Udah ah I want to go home." Ruminah passed with a sour face.

"Yes, Daeng. Careful."

Gana's steps that just wanted to go into the room to see Aurora whether she was awake or not, immediately stopped. With an annoyed face he again sauntered out into the courtyard of the house.

"So, did you remember him??" gana's lower lip advanced like a duck. She groaned as she looked at her husband who was throwing the water from the laundry into the ground from the bucket.

"The time of the nanya is not answered, Dek." replied Ammar in a soft tone.

He looked at his fat wife like a tomato. Swiping Gana's stomach back from behind her glove. During pregnancy Gana prefers to wear loose clothes and gloves owned by Ammar. As well as his face that is always straws with cold powder like the Bugis people.

There has a tradition to make powder dough protective from sunlight. Because after breakfast while guarding the stall. Gana will linger in her flower garden. Whatever Gana wants, Ammar will always fulfill it.

Once he went to the city of Makassar took a journey of approximately three hours just to find rose seeds and cat food. Although Gana amnesia, but the love for both hobbies can not just disappear.

Ammar banned Gana from playing with cats. Because before she conceived Aurora, Gana had a miscarriage. Ammar always warns that cat fur brings things that are not good for the womb.

So since Aurora was born and is currently pregnant with their second child, God willing to be born in two months, Ammar only allows Gana to take care of cats outside the house, not allowed to enter as before.

By the way until this second, they did not know what gender their second child was. Because as long as Gana is pregnant she's only checked by the only midwife on the island.

Especially when giving birth to Aurora, she was only helped by a child shaman, because at that time the Midwife was going out of town. Though she should be able to give birth with renowned obstetricians and in the Hospital owned by her in-laws.

Ammar's desire to bring Gana home, always dashed. It does not feel like time is rolling quickly, it has been two and a half years Gana and Ammar settled on this island.

And every year Gana re-conceived as she is now. When Aurora was five months old, Gana became pregnant again.

Aurora is twelve months old, and Gana is seven months pregnant.

"Let's go in. Brother's hungry." Ammar invites Gana to enter the house and stay at the dining table. Stopping a debate that will surely have no end.

"Other times it's just diemin, Bang. To think of him, Brother is naro heart!" gana's snoring is inexhaustible. His love and jealousy was so great for Ammar. He poured the rice into Ammar's plate with a mouth that did not stop cursing Ruminah.

Ammar kissed Gana's cheek sitting next to him. "Sati Abang just stuck to you, Dek. I can't get any more lyrics. Thankful for having a beautiful and versatile wife. And want to nemenin Abang who is like a gini."

Gana smiled in praise. Ammar is the most able if the business of seducing. But Gana immediately grinned after hearing the last sentence.

"What is the existence of my brother? Segini Adek is happy. We can still eat good, can buy Rora's milk, my pregnant milk and my brother always full my house. Thanks, Bang." Gana turned around to kiss the man's cheek.

Ammar nodded happily. Just wanted to put their lips together, and it stopped at once.

"BELIIIII.." the intimacy was finally dissolved, because there were buyers coming in the grocery store owned by Gana.

"Must be Bahar. Wanna pay me another cigarette." decak Gana. He had already memorized the man's voice. Ammar chuckles. "If you want a debt, it will also be paid." replied Ammar lightly.

"It can't dong! Yes, you have eaten first." said Gana.

Ammar shakes. "Abang wait. We're having breakfast together."

"Yes, that's it."

Gana rose to a small but complete stall outside the house. Ammar was forced to open Gana warung. Not to make money, but because the woman kept whining to work to help her make money.

Without him knowing, Ammar has a lot of savings. Can still finance their lives for the next ten years without working. But the drama must be played. Ammar had to keep working at Mahendra's factory to keep Gana and the citizens unsuspecting. How can I support my wife and children without working? If you do not want to suspect pig, monkey or dinousaurus.

Ammar hurriedly got up, as the sound of Aurora's cries just waking up, sounded very loud. The boy was crying because he felt alone in the room.

"Eh, Papa's beautiful son is awake." Ammar held Rora who was sitting in the middle of the bed while crying. Batita is beautiful, fat, wry-eyed that is overall very similar to Ammar's face and only leaves the nose that is similar to Gana.

Getting a warm hug from her Papa, made the child comfortable and stopped crying. Ammar took Rora out of the room to accompany her to breakfast.

It's been two days that Ammar hasn't gone to the factory. Because the waves in the sea are rising. The small vessel was Ammar's means of transport to the factory from the island of Lankai. Gana forbids Ammar from working, because it is very risky. She did not want her husband to drown. Ammar will take a motorbike from the house to the dock, and leave it there.

Departing morning and evening already at home before the waves at sea, tide. Therefore, when on holiday like this. He can help Gana to take care of Rora, wash clothes and take turns guarding the stall.

"This time I pay, Daeng." said Bahar proudly. A young fisherman who sometimes likes to switch professions into a tour guide. He gave money twenty thousand to Gana, after a pack of cigarettes he had opened the contents.

"This will pay for now. Two days ago, four days ago and-" Gana, who was checking the buyer's book, looked up when she felt the person she was talking to was gone. And sure enough Bahar quickly sauntered away from the stall with lightning fast like a demon.

"Basic yes! Watch out later if I buy again I pull the mustache!! Keep going, bankrupt me!" decak Gana is upset. Then stare down into the stomach.

"Dadk later don't like that, son." then rubbed it up and down and gave a smile as his son moved. He still hopes that the child he gave birth soon will be male.

Seeing her mother enter the house, Aurora immediately wriggled, extending her hand upwards while asking to be carried.

"Ma ... Ma."

"Mommy's son is awake? Take a shower, son?" said Gana. He grabbed Rora from Ammar's sling. So that her husband can have breakfast.

"Later take a shower. Now eat breakfast first." said Ammar. Gana finally complies.

Seeing Rora, Gana puts the boy on a swing that Ammar made himself in the house. Aurora continued muttering, her voice noisy, so loud. He played with his puppets.

"When are we going to Jakarta again? All of us check up to the Obstetrician. Adek wants to know the gender of our second child, Bang. Who knows, men, let's have a pair."

Ammar did not answer, he focused on enjoying his food.

"Nrt ..."

"Eat first." replied Ammar.

But Gana was silent. He leaned back on the back of the chair. Face bent. Knowing his wife was sulking, Ammar replied.

"Yes, later." That's all Ammar answered. He began to enjoy his breakfast. And Gana kept tilting the corners of the lips. From the age of five months, Gana has whined to go to Jakarta and Ammar will only reason like that.

Remembering Jakarta, making memories of the past re-emerge. His heart became unpleasant. I don't think he wants to go back there. There are too many injuries and it's difficult for Ammar.

I still don't remember anything about their past. It will be difficult to explain if you have to be reunited with a large family, dismantle your identity and accept the anger of Gana who has been lied to.

Ammar is not ready.

Hay daeng-daeng, aka kareba? Salama 'ki tapada salama'.

Greetings, especially readers in Makassar. Helloooo ...

And for those of you in another city. May healthy always be. Why I chose Makassar city, because I'm nostalgic guys. My childhood was there, in Papa's hometown. Although the love story between Mama and Papa is not as beautiful as Gana and Ammar, but they are still a beautiful couple for me and my brother._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
