GRACEFUL
Chapters 2. Asking for Money

"I accept his marriage and his marriage Anggun Maharani bint Gian Raharja with gold ring mascawin weighing 5 grams, paid in cash."

One breath, Moiz Mahardika managed to confuse Anggun with a simple marriage. Weddings are only performed in KUA at the request of Anggun.

"How, Witness?"

"Well." Right."

"Well." Right."

Wedding prayers are also read to the bride and groom. Moiz looks very happy to get a wife who works in the city. While Moiz himself was only a mechanic in the workshop who was in the village. It was very inversely proportional to his wife, Anggun.

"Well, where will we stay after this? You want to stay at my parents' house, right?" moiz asked after returning to Anggun's old man's house.

Yes, although held simply, apparently in the house of Anggun parents there are still people who come to just fall and give blessings to a couple of brides.

"Not to know, Mas Moiz. Think about it again. I can also rest for no more than a week, " explained Anggun.

Said move on, another in the heart of Grace. She felt that this marriage was not the right way to deal with her problems. To be honest, after officially becoming Moiz's husband, Anggun felt that he had fallen too deep.

The thing is, the comparison between Witha and Moiz is very different. Witha who is a city man can understand Graceful as men in general. While Moiz, he is only a village man who works in the village. He would not understand how the way of life in the city made Anggun despair like that.

Even a simple wedding party ended quickly. The leave the company gave us is over. Time to go back to the city.

"Ggun, shouldn't you take Moiz to the city with you? Later you can find a job for him," said Maryamah, his mother Anggun.

"Can't, Mom. Anggun's residence becomes one with Jihan. Where can I get Mas Moiz there? That would make Graceful trouble again, right? Not to mention having to find a job for him. Better Mas Moiz here."

Anggun want to undergo marriage with LDM (Long Distance Marriage). Moiz did not reject his wife's wishes because he himself worked in a workshop not far from his home.

"How, Moiz? Anggun can not take you to the city," said Maryamah after talking with Anggun alone.

Now, Maryamah had to give Moiz an understanding of her daughter's decision. Actually Gian, Maryamah's husband disagrees with Anggun's decision. However, since Moiz himself was working, so it wouldn't be a problem for him.

"It's okay, Mom. If the Deck of Grace is like that. Moiz could pick her up once a week."

Back to Moiz and Witha. Although they are both men, Moiz is also not a bad man. He was quite handsome for the size of the village man who was side by side with Anggun. Just need to polish a little with good clothes, then Moiz and Witha will not lose the competition.

Many congratulations on the marriage Anggun held secretly. Not only from Jihan, but her co-workers at the company also congratulated her.

"Well, Madam Anggun finally got married too. Congratulations, yes!"

"Yes, Mother. Congratulations on the wedding!"

Another case with Firhan El Fatih, the man who became the boss of Anggun was even happy if his subordinates had returned. During the leave, Firhan had to do such a tiring job.

"Thank God that you're back, Nggun. Howwasyourwedding? Smoothly?"

"Yes, Mr. Firhan. Thanks for being allowed that whole day off."

Firhan smiled sweetly at her. Not a smile on the basis of likes or anything. Firhan is a mysterious man that not many people know about. A 35-year-old man who's totally secretive about family matters or whatever it is.

"Hemm, I didn't give you any gifts. How about I buy lunch at the kids' cafe?"

Firhan's intention here is another subordinate's subscription cafe. Some of them are in the production division.

"Thank you, sir. Next time," decline Gracefully.

Gracefully tired. He still had to finish his work for a week. If you accept Firhan's invitation, there he can't get out of the cafe easily. They would surely tease Anggun by asking how was her first night? How is your relationship with your husband? What kind of a handsome man is that?

"Wine! You finally got out too. Tonight's snacking, yuk?" take Jihan.

After returning to the city, Anggun more moping durja. She also doesn't call her husband Moiz very often. There are some things that are still a secret Anggun to this day. It will not be shared with anyone. Only he knows and not let his parents know.

"Next time, Jihan. I'm so tired. You know that I just got married," declined Gracefully.

Graceful and Jihan is the same age. It's just that Jihan's thinking isn't like Graceful. He frees his mind more than thinking about problems that are so complicated, especially for a mate.

"Ouch, Graceful. Come on, come with me! We're streets. Than you to be alone."

Instead of refusing to end in coercion, better follow what Jihan requests. However, they had to return to the boarding place first. They have to clean themselves up, then finish whatever needs to be done.

At night, before dinner at around 7, they left the boarding house to the mall in question. Jihan intends to give a surprise, namely dinner together over the wedding Anggun.

"You can order as much as you can" Jihan said as she entered a restaurant serving Asian dishes.

"Jihan, why come here? We can eat meatballs, seblak, or whatever. Don't eat food like this. Can drain the pouch," decline Gracefully.

Not because they do not want to, but fear that the Anggun tongue does not match the food served from various countries. Although in the restaurant it presents rendang which is typical of his country as well.

"Ck, do you want to eat a pock or a chicken?" Jihan offers.

It will be very difficult to seduce Anggun in his current way. They finally decided to move to a fried rice food court.

"Well, if it's here, how?"

"My tongue matches fried rice, Jihan. This is seriously what you want to buy me?" Gracefully trying to make sure.

"Yes, dong! You are already married. While you're married, I can't come. Well, instead I buy you a meal. After that, you ask me anything I love."

The road together with Jihan feels like a waste of fatigue after his leave and busyness in the factory. While enjoying the fried rice that had been ordered, suddenly Anggun's phone rang.

"Who?" ask Jihan.

"My husband."

"Yaudah, pick up first! Don't make him wait long."

Gracefully immediately raised the call. He slightly moved away in embarrassment that his conversation would be heard by Jihan.

"Assalamualaikum, Mom. What's up?" ask Anggun.

"Sir, where are you?"

"I'm eating with my friends again, Mom. In the mall, eat fried rice. Why?" Graceful not good at lying. She told Moiz, her husband.

"Well, a lot of money, dong! Could transfer a little for me, right? I haven't paid, here!" This was the first time Moiz asked his wife for money.

"Yes, I'll transfer. Need how many?" Anggun does not really understand who her husband is, but she tries to understand Moiz like a woman in general.

"Ehm, three hundred thousand if any."

"Yes, Mas. I'll send. Don't forget to send her account number" Anggun's message before Moiz ends his call.

With no thanks or mere pleasantries, Moiz immediately closed the call. Graceful as a wife did receive the ring as her dowry, but until this moment Moiz had not given her any birth or inner living at all.
