Married by Accident
Hopefully I can understand



Two servings of nasi uduk served on the table with a side dish of omelet, tempe orek, vegetable bakwan, fried vermicelli and crackers complete with peanut spices and fried onion sprinkles. Renjani cooks her own rice and serves it beautifully on the table as Kelana used to do.


Although last night Renjani was upset with Kelana but in the end he managed to be wooed with good food that he said came from Egypt. When Renjani checked it on the internet, it was true that the bread came from Egypt.


In exchange for good food last night, today Renjani makes its own nasi uduk with various types of side dishes. Since Renjani made a lot then he sent some of it to Jesi and his papa. Lately Renjani often sent food to Aji because he knew his papa was not eating well.


"What's that?" Renjani sees Kelana coming carrying something in her hand.


"Pot of pottery, Papa entrusted this to Pak Dayat for his most beautiful son in the world."


"Compared to me, this pot is much prettier." Renjani took the two pots from wandering. Aji did understand Renjani's taste the most, he made two pots with rainbow ornaments and brightly colored mushrooms. Apparently Aji knew Renjani had a new hobby of planting flowers so he made the pot.


Going without bragging, in the pot there was a paper inscribed for my most beautiful daughter in the world. Renjani laughs reading the message, Aji is so sweet that it makes Renjani teary-eyed. Of course Renjani is the most beautiful princess in the world because Aji and Lasti have no children besides her.


"Let's have breakfast while our daughter's still sleeping." Renjani pulls a chair for Kelana, she mimics her papa who calls herself princess.


"Take Mom today so special." Kelana took a spoon and fork can not wait to taste the rice nuduk artificial Renjani.


"There's this roasted chicken too." Renjani put a piece of chicken thigh to Kelana's plate. "Thanks to you, I can eat good."


"Aren't I the one to say that?" Kelana's sentence is not very clear because her mouth is full of rice that spreads the savory taste once she chews it with crackers and peanut spices.


Renjani shook her head, before getting to know and marry Kelana, Renjani always minimized her expenses by buying cheap food. In the past, to eat rice fields with chicken dishes alone Renjani had to wait for the beginning of the month when his salary just came out. Renjani's life changed 180 degrees after marriage.


"I never had a breakfast of bread with mashed avocado, at most just a breakfast of lilok deket library."


"But you like to eat."


"That's why I'm trying to buy cheap food because my money is spent just on rent and food."


"If we meet early." Kelana stared fixed Renjani, how grateful he was to have been reunited with Renjani again after a dozen years passed.


"If it's early, maybe you're still dating Elara and I won't be glimpsed at all."


Kelana chuckles put down the spoon and fork to grab Renjani's hand.


"Whatever Elara was just my girlfriend then and now you're my wife, Renjana's mother."


"No idea why I'd rather be called Renjana's mother."


"Did you like being called my wife?"


Renjani laughs mischievously, probably because she has often heard people call her Kelana's wife, now Renjani prefers to be called as Renjana's mother. There is a sense of pride because Renjani can give birth to a daughter.


"Eh so semalem Fatan there needs to be what is it with you?" Renjani switched the conversation, she just remembered that Kelana had not told her about last night.


"Ready, you'll be shocked."


Renjani looked at Kelana completely, she even stopped chewing in order to listen to Kelana's next sentence.


"There's no way Fatan would resign, right? if so, why didn't he tell me directly?" Renjani panics herself thinking about what Fatan said last night to Kelana. Renjani can't lose Fatan in the office.


"It's not that, baby."


"So what?"


"Cowok who likes Yana is Fatan, your employee."


Now Renjani's eyes are round while her mouth is slightly open. Renjani never thought that the guy was Fatan.


"Can't you?" Renjani is still in disbelief, Fatan and Yana rarely meet, Renjani also never saw them chatting. "Keep he said what?"


"She's the same permission I had to approach Yana." He salutes Fatan for asking permission from him first instead of Yana.


"Continue?"


"I told you Yana can't date before college."


"What!" Renjani patted his ear, he did not hear wrong right? "It's so bad of you."


"It's all for Yana's good."


"It's not you yourself who said that Yana deserves to have a boyfriend like other young people, Yana also just entered college."


"That's what you said, not me."


Renjani grunts annoyedly, she just wants Yana to have a life like any other. Yana has worked hard enough all this time and Renjani wants to give a little freedom.


"Aren't you talking to Yana about this?"


"Udah."


"Continue?"


"Yana agrees, for now he does not want to date anyone, if Fatan really likes Yana then he can wait for another three or four years."


Renjani grimaced, who can wait until that long let alone Fatan is ripe for marriage. Although age is not the only benchmark for marriage, Renjani still feels sorry for both of them.


"Don't tell me you're gonna make the same rules for Nana."


"Of course, Nana won't date until she graduates."


"I'm not going to be fierce with Nana, but the same guy who deletin Nana."


"It looks like Nana will make herself difficult to get hold of guys thanks to your upbringing."


"You'll also educate Nana, we'll both learn." Kelana clasped Renjani's hand. He regretted having been selfish by saying there were no children in his life plan. Now Kelana understands that sometimes life will not be in accordance with his plan but he believes that God's provisions are much better. Like now Kelana always saw Renjana as a miracle in her life. Even it seems Kelana does not believe that Nana is her biological child. But at first glance Nana looks like Kelana and it makes Kelana realize that Nana is indeed her son.

The two-story building located strategically in the middle of the city is a gift for the first granddaughter of Wira, Renjana. The building is a form of happiness and gratitude of the Hero for the birth of Renjana. Kelana and Renjani say the gift is too much for Nana. But Wira still wants to give the building. Even Valia was made envious when she found out that Wira gave the gift of a building.


This afternoon for the first time Kelana and Renjani brought Nana to see the empty building. They don't even know what to use the building for. It seemed like they would have to wait a few more years until Nana could decide for herself.


Spacious glass windows dominated the walls of the building so that the sun could penetrate the entrance illuminating the entire room. Wood-patterned granite floors look contrasted with white walls.


There was no partition separating the first floor so they could see the entire room at once. There is a ceramic flower vase in the corner of the room with dried flowers in it.


"It's like a music studio." Kelana's voice echoed.


"That's because you like music, I see this room is like a library, live on shelves." Renjani.


While the owner of the building remains a henchman in his stroller.


"You can imagine what Nana's gonna be in five years?" Kelana imagined Nana running around the building while laughing.


"He'll be a cheerful boy like me."


"Or she'll be as hot-tempered as I am." Kelana chuckles, Nana will be very adorable when angry. "Or she'll be a sister."


"You mean we're gonna have a second child in five years?"


"It's up to you baby, again I have no right to determine because you will get pregnant, give birth and breastfeed, I just help a little."


"You'll just ask."


Kelana shook her head, she still remembered how much Renjani had to be in pain when giving birth to Renjana.


"Pregnant is not easy especially when giving birth and breastfeeding, you have to stay up late and not get enough rest, I am not ready for you to experience it again, but if you are willing, if you are, whenever I treat you as best I can, I'll always be by your side and help you as much as I can." Kelana cupped Renjani's cheeks, he will not repeat the same mistake that allowed Renjani to undergo the early pregnancy alone.


"Why are you such a sweet man now, hm?" Renjani on tiptoes kissed Kelana's lips, she always chose the lips because it was the closest and she could reach.


"I'm sweet a long time ago." Kelana pressed the nape of Renjani to get closer to him.


The ringing of the phone shocked Renjani and Kelana until they were forced to remove the link. The voice came from Renjani's phone.


With one movement Renjani answered the phone, he spoke for a while and immediately closed it.


"Bi Tumi is near here."


They're meeting with Tumi and Edi at a restaurant not far from here. It just so happened that today Tumi and Edi went to Jakarta to attend Wijaya Kusuma's birthday. They will actually meet again at the birthday party. However, Renjani wants to chat longer with Tumi and Edi.


******


"Auntie!" Unknowingly Renjani screeched in the crowd when she saw Tumi. Some people who were around them instantly noticed Renjani.


Kelana had tried not to look flashy in public places but Renjani instead stole the attention with her screams.


Some people immediately took pictures of Kelana with their cell phones. They were whispering not expecting to meet Kelana in person.


"Let's go in first." Take Kelana while pushing the stroller Nana.


Renjani holding Tumi's hand went into the restaurant they had ordered. Actually Renjani wants to invite Tumi and Edi to meet in the apartment, only they do not have much time and the distance of the apartment is quite far from here. Not to mention the always crowded streets of Jakarta.


"Geez, your son is so beautiful." Tumi lifts Nana's tiny body from inside the stroller. Previously Tumi could only see Nana from the photos that Renjani had sent her. Today Tumi was finally able to hold Renjana.


"The eyes are beautiful." Edi Timpal.


Kelana unconsciously nodded in agreement with Edi's sentence. Kelana is always amazed by a pair of Nana netra that is very similar to Renjani.


"It's for Uncle and Aunt." Then put two paper bags on the table. "Prophe the chosen one, may you like it."


"You don't have to give me a gift like this." Tumi just wanted to meet Renjani and Kelana and Nana, this meeting was enough for him.


"That's nothing compared to the kindness of Aunt and Uncle to Renjani, thanks to you guys as well we're back together." Kelana is very grateful to Tumi and Edi, as long as he is not there, they have taken good care of Renjani.


"Auntie and Uncle actually go home tomorrow?"


"Yes Re."


Renjani is grim, she still wants to meet Tumi and Edi longer.


"It's okay, later we can go to Bogor if you miss your Aunt and Uncle." Kelana tries to comfort Renjani.


Tumi smiled at Kelana's treatment of Renjani, he was happy because they re-united and established a harmonious relationship.
