LOVE THE CHILDREN OF JURAGAN
Learn to Forget

They returned from Lombok a month ago. Today Yasmin is excited for college because all her grades in odd semesters are getting better. Andre still sees him often. Yasmin will be leaving when Andre invites her to eat as long as it is with his other friends.

Today after finishing college, Yasmin stopped by a mini market close to the apartment. He wants to buy bread, milk and other food because tomorrow is Saturday. Yasmin stopped by the ATM for some money. When he checked his ATM balance, he was shocked. Saldon't get to 3

million. If this keeps my savings money can run out. How is it going? I'll be in college until 2 p.m. Do I have to find a job? Do you want money with Dad? Didn't I lie to you by saying that brother Erdana gave me money? I've paid my tuition with my own savings, bought all the powder, face cream, soap and shampoo, all with my savings.

After taking the money of 300 thousand, Yasmin went into the supermarket. Saturday was Yasmin's most pleasant day of sleep. Because he could wake up without fear of being late for college.

Yasmin bought 2 packs of bread, butter, chocolate and 2 big boxes of low fat UHT milk.

After paying for everything, he got into his car and immediately headed to the apartment.

Yasmin arrives at the apartment and is shocked to see her father and mother-in-law, Daffa and Elmira and her handsome bodyguard, Nick.

Yasmin kissed her in-laws hand and greeted her brother and sister-in-law.

"What's this?" ask Yasmin.

"The story of Erdana and Elmira. You don't know? Erdana didn't say that his birthday and El would be celebrated here?" asked Naura with a confused face.

Yasmin. Indeed, since returning from Lombok, Erdana was impressed to keep his distance from him. He only talked potluck and always came home late at night from the company. He rarely cooks and only always orders dinner from the cafe on the right side of the apartment. Cafe employees will deliver it at exactly 7 pm with a different menu every day.

"I was leaving for college a little early in the morning, Mom. I left while Erdana was still sleeping." Yasmin said. Indeed, this morning at 6 he had gone to campus because there was a task that he had to do.

Yasmin immediately helped her mother-in-law prepare the dining table. Naura had cooked from home.

Occasionally Yasmin notices Elmira and her bodyguard who often steal a glance. He was already suspicious when they were still in Lombok. And that means 4 weeks have passed.

Shortly thereafter Erdana arrived. After the others congratulated Erdana, the man seemed happy Naura immediately invited them all to the dining table. Elmira sat next to Nick.

"Eh, before we eat, there's something I want to say." Elmira said as she stood up.

Vishnu looked at his daughter. "What's up, son?"

"Me and Nick are dating."

Nick surprised. He didn't think Elmira would say it now.

Everyone there was shocked except Daffa. He smiled while looking at his brother. "I told you when I saw Nick for the first time, you'd be in love with him. He's too handsome to be a bodyguard."

Nick blushed to hear the words of his sister-in-law.

Vishnu and Naura looked at each other. Elmira is so. Not wanting to hide anything to his family was very different from Erdana.

"If you love each other, and want to build a serious relationship, your father and mother will be supportive. We never chose who our son would put his heart to. As long as he was a good man, obedient to religion and loving Elmira sincerely. That's all." Vishnu followed by a nod of Naura's head. He knew Nick was a good guy. He had several permits to pray at the family mosque when Elmira returned to their home.

Hearing the words of Elmira's parents, Nick's heart was greatly relieved. "I will love El with all my heart. I'll look after him like I'm keeping my own eyes."

Elmira smiled happily. "Thank you, mom."

The event continued with a candlelight blowing for El and Er. Everyone seems happy. Shortly afterwards Lisa came with her husband and their two children. Lisa's children are now 6 years and 4 years old. Both men. Lisa is married to an Arab man named Ahmad. A furniture entrepreneur.

"Where's Kumala's grandmother, ma'am?" erdana asked as they were while enjoying dinner.

"Grandmother is not feeling well. He chose to stay home." Answer Naura.

Yasmin was also happy to see how harmonious the Furkan family relationship was. Nick felt the same way.

"How are you feeling?" elmira asked, holding Nick's hand. Both are on the balcony of the living room.

"I am happy at once. Proud also because your family is so nice and warm."

"Now, I'm biding my time you're gonna take me to meet your parents."

Nick smiled. He caressed Elmira's face lovingly. "Wait for the right time, baby? Now that I want us to be absolutely sure of our relationship, I'll bring you to them."

Elmira nodded even though she was actually quite disappointed. He hugged Nick tightly. Feel the peace whenever it is in the man's arms.

***********

Everyone has gone home. The apartment room was clean because Mother Naura brought 2 servants who immediately cleaned the eating utensils used and cleaned the room and mopped the floor.

Yasmin stone just finished her bath and changed clothes. He didn't know what to give Erdana. On the matter of his birthday, Erdana gives him a gift.

As he exited the room to make a glass of milk for him, he passed Erdana who seemed to have just come from the kitchen. The two looked at each other and gave a faint smile.

"Eh, sis.....!" call Yasmin.

"What's wrong?"

"Happy birthday!" Yasmin extended her hand. Erdana welcomed Yasmin's hand and held her tightly.

"Thank you."

"No problem."

The hands of both of them are still holding each other. Yasmin let go first. "A..I'm going to the kitchen!" step up and step straight away. Erdana just smiled and directly climbed onto the second floor. Since returning home from Lombok, Erdana has chosen not to be closer to Yasmin because she does not want Yasmin to think she is a pervert if she has to kiss the girl again.

When Erdana arrived at her room, there was a message coming in. Erdana. It was from one of his men in Surabaya.

Erdana's eyes immediately widened to see the photo of Mentari who now uses the hijab. His longing heart became even more longing when he saw the photo. Erdana called right away.

"Hallo, how's Kevin? Did you get the address?" Ask Erdana enthusiastically.

"I got the address. But when I went to that house, it turned out that the house was already inhabited by someone else. He said the residents then moved abroad. I've also asked for information on local RT, Mentari has indeed moved from there."

"Where can you track him?"

"Mba Mentari is very smart to hide himself. He never used a credit card so I couldn't figure out his whereabouts."

"alright. Thank ye. Please let me know if there are any other developments." Erdana's overseeing her phone conversation. His head was straight.

All night, Erdana can't sleep. The next morning, he went straight to Jeslin's house. And he was very lucky that Jeslin was there.

"Auntie, I beg you, tell me where is Mentari?"

Jeslin. "Son, forget the Mentari. Now you're married. Love wife. Don't hurt Yasmin. Mentari was happy with his life. He even has a girlfriend now."

"Love? Is that how fast Mentari forgets me? I'm still her husband."

"Son, forget the Mentari. Leave him with his own life. Are you leaving Yasmin when you meet Mentari? It won't be that easy, will it? Get your marriage right. Maybe you and Mentari aren't a match."

Erdana came home disappointed to hear Mentari already had a lover. He soon found Naura in their home.

"If the Mentari doesn't want you anymore, then you should take care of your life, son. Indeed forgetting the sweet story for 7 years is not an easy matter. But I'm sure you can." said Naura, holding her son's hand.

"Mom, me and Yasmin couldn't have had our marriage normally."

"You should try. I see that the way he looks at you is a little different. Not as hateful as before."

"Come, mom. I'm confused." Erdana laid her body in the lap of the mother.

Naura can only caress her son's head. Erdana is like this every time he's in trouble.

**********

Erdana spent all day at her parents' house. In the afternoon, he returned to the apartment. While passing through Yasmin's room, she sees Yasmin who is climbing onto her study table. On the study table there is also a plastic chair. Looks like Yasmin's going to replace a broken light bulb.

"Eh....Yasmine....!" Erdana immediately ran into the room when she saw that Yasmin lost her balance and fell. It was fortunate that Erdana was able to capture Yasmin's body and the two fell back to the floor together.

Yasmin felt her heart almost pop as their faces became so close. Their eyes meet. In the somewhat dim atmosphere of the room, Erdana stared at Yasmin very intensely. He no longer found the angry eyes Yasmin had given him.

Yasmin pressed her salivary. I don't know why he wished for Erdana to kiss him this time.

"Aren't you hurt?" asked Erdana while standing up. He helps Yasmin to get up from the floor.

"No."

"No need to use a table and chair to change the light bulb. I have the tools." Erdana went straight to the barn and took out a tool commonly used to replace light bulbs in high places.

"It's over" said Erdana and left Yasmin's room immediately.

"Eh, sis....!" call Yasmin.

"What's wrong?" Erdana.

Yasmin took something from inside her college bag. "His birthday present. Sorry if you don't like it."

Erdana opened the small paper bag. It turned out to be a tie. "Thank you."

"Together."

"I like it." said Erdana and left Yasmin's room.

Yasmin smiled as she held her chest looking at Erdana's back that disappeared behind the door. How am I glad to see brother Erdana like a gift from me huh? Eh Yasmin's aware! You don't love each other!
