MARRYING YOUR BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 6: P u l a n g

“Rani you again PMS, yes?” only one sentence was thrown from Rafi's mouth

even though he later cursed himself, it could be rich.

They have arrived in front of Rani's boarding house, there are no more conversations along the way, Rafi just does not want to disturb Rani she tried to give time for her lover to cry to feel more relieved.

But it is undeniable Rafi is very curious what has made Rani look

did he suffer, or did his girlfriend have a problem with her parents? He thought, the article a few weeks ago Rani was seen moody because of her family problems.

Both are still in the car Rani did not answer Rafi's question, he just kept quiet

staring at the streets that were still running that morning.

“Sayang?” ask Rafi again.

“Sorry me,” that's all that said from Rani's mouth, her chest back tightened hard

once for him to tell what he has experienced.

“Sorry for?” Rafi grabbed Rani's hand which she had noticed clenching.

He was quite surprised because the hand was cold and even stiff, Rafi let go one by one

rani Jemari.

“Honey you can tell me anything, you must remember I will be a husband

you are the one who will forever protect you,” he continued he wished Rani

trust her.

Rani just silently looked at Rafi, how could she possibly tell him about the vile deeds

his best friend, and will Rafi still accept Rani as before? Isn't that

Rafi will consider her a cheap woman who can't take care of herself? Rani is already

very dirty, he was even sure that not only Rafi any man would not

accepting himself.

Instead of answering, Rani releases Rafi's hand, which rubs her fingers gently.

“Rafi I want to rest, because tomorrow has to work again,” said Rani.

No more hue of smiles on Rani's face his cheerfulness has disappeared somewhere, there

something implied in his eyes that Rafi difficult to understand, finally of all

many questions that Rafi wants to ask he just paused.

“Yaudah, you rest yes. If there is anything immediately tell me,” said Rafi

later then.

Rani just nodded, opened the car door and left Rafi just like that.

The longer you are near Rafi makes Rani feel more claustrophobic, imaginary

a happy life with Rafi has been lost no more hope he has.

Rani immediately locks the door of her room hoping Rafi gets out of there soon,

leave him.

God, why do I have to experience this? do you hate me so much God?

Rani snapped her own rambutan not because, she cried so badly how

if she is pregnant? What is the future and the ideals that it has

plan on? all the questions filled his head.

Rani this time hit her own stomach like a man whose fidelity she hopes does not exist

whatever will live there. It sounds crazy, but

that's what Rani thinks now.

His hand that began to harden no he ignored, Rani continued to beat himself even he

scratching violently felt disgusted with his body until his skin was white

turned into a rough red cusp he scratched.

It really wasn't the right time his phone was ringing aloud, the first call

no he ignored, but it turns out there was another incoming call still the same Rani remained

not accepting the exclusion.

As if to deliberately disturb Rani the phone rang back, there was no choice

another Rani then reached into her phone which was in the bag.

It turned out that it was my mother who called after she saw the name on the phone screen

rani tries to catch her breath first to calm herself down before

answer that call.

“Assalamualaikum,” he replied after feeling better.

Rani rubbed the rest of her tears, as if her mother could see her, “Sorry Mom, I was there again

shower?”

*“Lho how do you sound? What else hurts?”*voice of his mother

I started to sound worried.

Peched before answering, “Neither ma'am, I'm well Alhamdulillah. Mom why call?”

“Anu, Mom's feeling is not good huh, you're okay?”

Rani covered her mouth as hard as she could, hoping for her cry that had somehow been

how many times today it's not heard.

“Nduk, if you do not work too much mbok yes go home. I miss you.”

Rani as much as possible trying to sound fine, “Bu, but it's the moon

in front of Rendi want to pay for school,” answered Rani hoping her mother accepted the reason

by saying his first brother will be paid for school.

“Udah you do not think too much about it, the money you sent yesterday is still enough,” replied Ibu trying to persuade Rani.

“Lha, Mr. said he wants to renovate the house, it takes a lot of money later.”

“Don't be too you mind your will, you have enough help our family, nduk. I want you to now focus on yourself.”

Rani felt moved because her mother never once burdened Rani, in part

it is the Father who always conveys the needs at home.

Even so Rani never minded, she wanted to help her family especially

Father who has not worked because his feet are often sick.

*“Emang you don't miss Ibuk?”*was urged by his mother again.

“Ya misses Bu,” answered Rani, she would love to go home, but is she ready

tell me what happened to Rani? But in such conditions

the one who Rani really wants to meet, yes, his mother.

“Judah home yes?” talk to his mother again.

Rani was silent for a moment, maybe she could calm herself down for a moment in the village

the need for a home can still use his savings.

Moreover, Rani is not sure in the current situation he can focus on working, especially

working on a project that Lulu loved.

“Oh yes, Ma'am Wiwit also wants to marry Friday tomorrow, you accept the invitation right?”

Ah yes, Rani remembered Mbak Wiwit her cousin two days ago sent an electronic invitation

in the form of pdf file that Rani has not yet opened.

“Iya Ma'am, I forgot. Lately there has been a lot of work Rani,” obviously hope

Mom understands.

“Lho yes dibales that message, not good as Mbak Wiwit we are still brothers if the same her,” said Mother reminded.

“Iya Ma'am, later if Rani is given permission the same boss will go home. Where are you, how come there's no sound?” Rani asks where his father is still inaudible, usually he is most excited about the story when calling Rani.

*“Your father is in the place of Pakdhe Warto, has been showing off he said the house wants to be renovated so good, even though his son's make money is not ashamed,” * answered Mother grumbling.

“Yo is okay Mom, let Rani work for Mom and Dad. Are his legs healed?”

“Udah. Kemaren kaya kecapkan aja harvest in the rice fields. You don't have to worry it just hurts people are old.”

“Peixain after all Bu, fear of why-napa,” said Rani, because she really knows the character of her parents who do not want to see a doctor if sick, because, he said expensive mending buy drugs at the stall immediately healed must be so every Rani asked to check.

“No, later also healed. Yaudah I want to cook first ya nduk.”

“Yaudah Ma'am. Healthy mom yes at home.”

“Iya. You do not forget to eat and do not stay pray.”

“Nggih, Bu.”

“Come home, Nduk?” Persuade his mother who has been umpteenth time.

“White, later Rani kabari.”

The call was then closed, just by talking over the phone with his mother making

his feelings are better.

It seems he really has to go home, this year Rani has not returned home though, even though,

to clear his mind, Rani decides to go home, tomorrow he

will try to talk to Mbak Lulu, hopefully his boss understands.
