MARRYING YOUR BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 23: P i l i h a n I b u
“I say yes,” Rafi said after she realized the time had shown night.
Rani nods, they have spent a lot of time together today, even though both of them are aware that this is to be the last day for them.
“Be careful yes. Ka, I have no problem you know, if you go directly to Jakarta,”
Rani had not had time to finish her sentence Rafi immediately cut it, the man did not agree with what Rani said.
“Neg. I'll wait till you get married.”
“You sure?” rani asked to make sure Rafi had no problem with it.
Rafi nodded, she looked at Rani for a moment before finally stepping on the gas pedal leaving Rani's house.
Rani still did not move he steady Rafi's car that was getting away, but somehow this time not so make him feel crowded otherwise Rani felt relieved.
“Udah, do not look glaring,” someone suddenly has been next to him.
Rani was surprised to find someone, “Kok you are still here?”
“Emang can't?” answer the man later.
Rani did not push him again, he turned around to enter the house but then he remembered something.
“Tama, your family already know about this issue?” asked Rani hesitating.
Tama walk ahead of Rani, “Enggak.”
“Hah?” Rani never thought, they would even get married soon but the man did not tell his family?
Tama as if not understand Rani's worries, he sat on the bench terrace Rani, “Ngapain also,”
“Tama, we want to get married. Or do you actually have a wife and children so keep this matter a secret?” Rani begins to suspect the identity of the mature man.
“Cie,,, now do you want to marry me?”
“Ck, asansih,” sewon Rani.
Tama chuckles, “I'm that bad yeah in your eyes Ran?”
“Lagian, who try not to tell his family when he wants to get married. Surely anyone will be suspicious,” said Rani who then sat beside Tama.
Tama stared at the night sky that slightly clouded her eyes glazed over, “It would be so happy if I could tell my whole family Ran,”
“Then why did you choose not to tell them?”
Tama looked at Rani for a moment before she finally looked back at the sky without a single star tonight, “You know for yourself, I don't know where Mom is. He did not accept me and ran away with another man. So does my dad, I don't know where he is,”
“Grandmother took care of you?” ask Rani curiously.
“Grandmother I'm dead.”
In that instant Rani was also stifled she felt guilty for asking the man beside her, somehow she now felt pity.
“No need pity me Rani.”
“No,” answered Rani even though her eyes were now filled with tears, Rani only realized lately she was always crying.
“I've told this to Father and Mother, look at your reaction now I understand why they still accept me even though I am a very depraved young man.”
“Why?”
“Maybe because they pity me. But Ran, I'm purely a story for what it is, so you know how my real family is, not to be pitied.”
Tama looked back at Rani, she realized she rubbed her eyes even under the dimly lit porch lights Tama could see Rani's flushed nose.
“Rani you cry?”
Rani looked up with a rub of her eyes, “No, flickering.”
Tama laughs, “Yaelah still make excuses cliche flickering, already do not cry. I'm okay with.”
Maybe this is a good thing, her heart. Rani begins to care about her life, but apart from that all Tama must at least start preparing for her future now is not only her who she must think about but there is Rani and her son.
Not only is Tama now Rani so, she will try to accept Tama because It is no longer the anger that affects Rani, instead she is very sorry for the man.
As the Father said, their marriage will run simply enough in KUA, and attended by the nuclear family only.
Rani has no problem with it, even that is what she wants especially her condition is now pregnant. Rani is a little grateful because her stomach has not grown at least no one knows that she is pregnant, for now.
No dear Rani so Mbak Wiwit who scorned her neighbors for getting pregnant out of wedlock, even if there will be a comment on Rani's marriage that occurred in KUA, KUA, Rani has prepared the answer that she chose not to want a luxurious wedding is quite simple and sacred.
“After home?” ask the mother who saw Rani enter the kitchen.
Rani is hungry because from noon she did not eat anything, “Already Bu.”
“Pity also yes Nak Rafi,” said Mother who was able to make Rani stop her hand that was taking rice.
“How else Mom, it's happened this way. Mommy why haven't you rest?”
Mother was moving dishes from a wet shelf into the closet, Rani to wonder she never seemed to see Mom sitting casually there was something she was doing.
“Neg. But if you are not pregnant, maybe I will choose Nak Tama,” said Mother who made Rani frown.
“Lho, Kok Tama's. Lha wong Rani is dating Rafi,” replied Rani who is now sitting at the dinner table ready to eat her dinner.
“No idea, Tama it looks more polite more in accordance with us Nduk.”
“Rafi is also polite Mom. Is it according to his faith?” answer Rani did not accept, even though Rafi was no less polite with Tama. did not see when Rafi entered our house, he was rich in shock so see our house is simple gini.” Obviously Mom is long.
Rani devours her food, hearing Mother's words makes Rani feel hungry, “Bu Rafi is rich, yes it's natural that she behaves so.”
“Makanya Mom says, Tama is more in line with us,” replied I don't want to lose.
Mother has finished her work, now she sits right beside Rani to find her daughter who eats greedily.
“You've received Tama, Nduk?” ask Mother.
I swallowed the rice first in his mouth, “Bismillah Ma'am, let's just see how he'll be responsible.”
“Nak Tama, good you Nduk,” said Mother assured Rani.
“Rafi is also good Mom, better in fact,” Rani also does not seem to want to be outdone comparing the two men.
“You don't know if yesterday Nak Tama helped you Mr. Benerin front tile that leaked,” seems like I don't care about his son who was eating, Rani to choke mendnegar the fact.
“Kok can?” ask Rani curiously.
“Say the Father he saw Father had trouble going up and up the stairs, uh know-know that the child immediately help and tell the Father to sit down,” story Mother.
“Pantesan Bapak luluh, caper turned out to be so,” scorn Rani.
Mom immediately blaked her head, “Aduh Bu,”
“Partially you say yes, he is a good boy. Not only Mr, Pakdhe Marno only he helped, the time of trouble lift the grain to the house, eh Tama sensitive directly help Pakdhemu.” I'm getting excited about Tama.
“Initial-initial Ma'am, ordinary so. Later also long look original.”
“Yaampun Rani, how do you become suuzon gini. I never taught you to behave like that.” My face looked a little disappointed.
“Yaa right,”
“Udah spout the meal, run out it break.”
After saying that, Mother just left Rani who was increasingly surprised, even Mother now has been on Tama's side.
Rani believes something is wrong, surely Rani's parents have been hit by Tama pellets, even she has been affected considering she is now so pitiful to the man.
