Chapter Seventy

Today is Rangga's graduation. Mami, papi and Melati and Nabila joined the campus to accompany Rangga. Brother Rachel is not present because she will come at Rangga's wedding tomorrow.

Everyone has arrived at the campus and watched Rangga's graduation. After all the graduation events are over, mami and papi as well as Melati and Nabila photo together.

Papi and Mami brought Nabila home after the photo event was completed. Stay Melati who accompanies Rangga because there will be a small party with her friends.

"Mel. I introduce you to them" said Rangga

"Hmmmmm...How to, Ngga"

"Mami won't let us take Nabila. Afraid of soy sauce and will get sick, but I want to introduce Nabila also to my friend. Mami is overprotective with Nabila, probably because it's too affectionate"

"When I was so lucky to have Oma and Papi who loved me so much"

"Because Nabila deserves to be loved. Just like her mother" said Rangga and held Melati's hand towards her friend. Rangga wants to introduce Melati.

"Hi everyone. introduce my wife, Melati" said Rangga with his friend.

"Delati" said Melati while greeting one by one her friend Rangga

"What bro. is not wrong. Aja dating never, directly already have a wife aja lu" said Rangga's friend named Eka

"Gue seriously. I got married a year ago.but the party will be held next month, Lu all must come yes"

"It's very clear Ngga. your wife" Arif said, making Febby look at Arif with bulging eyes.

"It would be heartbroken if Weni heard this" Linda said

"Who's heartbroken" said a newly-emerged woman.

"Lu's whole life, just been talked about" Febby said

"Oh yes everyone. introduce this papa me.." said Weni.

One by one Rangga and his friends greeted papa Weni. When it was Melati's turn, Papa Weni and Melati were shocked.

"Papa." muttered Jasmine.

"Mela, what are you doing here "

"Mela accompanied Mela Pa's husband.. "

"Suami is indeed the one your husband is" Weni said.

"Weni. It's Melati, my wife" Rangga said.

"Wife.you're kidding, yeah.not funny"

"I'm not kidding anymore, this is my wife. We've been married for almost a year"

"I don't understand what you mean, Ngga"

"We're married but haven't had a party yet, so I haven't told you all. Next month we are going to have a party. You all must be present"

"Why do you have to hide all this, Ngga" Weni said

"I didn't really mean to hide from you all. But there's a reason I couldn't tell you everything when I got married"

"I'm sorry everyone. I don't think I can go to a party with you. I just go home with my papa" Weni said.

"Weni. papa wants to talk to Melati for a second"

"Papa knew him.. "

"Yes.he's papa's acquaintance's son.. "

"Why not just talk here"

"There's something important you're gonna talk to Melati about for a second. Everything lives first... "

Papa Weni invites Melati a little away from the place of Rangga's friend.

"Mela, you must have been surprised to see papa earlier"

"Yes.. Mel. Son of papa's second wife. I hope you don't tell Mom and Willy this"

"What mama, Brother Shinta and Willy do not know if papa has another wife.. "

"No Mel.. "

"Papa's party has been lying and mama's dues all this time. Why did you do that Pa. I know how mommy, sister Shinta and Willy feel when they find out you've been lying to them all along.. How long have you been married again"

"Nearly twenty-five years..Mel. And I hope you can keep this secret. "

"I don't know how to pa. What to hide this truth continues. If I pretend I don't know the same, I justify what papa did. Though clearly the actions of papa is wrong, I have felt what it feels like to be sick and hurt when we are betrayed and cheated like this"

"Mel. papa please, you know mama right. Papa doesn't want mama Elly to know, because he can do everything to separate papa and mama Weni. Papa loves her. Papa couldn't have left Mama Weni. And you need to know, mama Weni used to be our neighbor. Papa does not want later mama to make trouble with mama Weni's family"

"Papa don't love mama "

"Since papa knows mama Weni, papa feels papa's life is more meaningful and colorful. "

"Why don't you divorce your mom when you're getting married again"

"Papa couldn't bear to do that because Willy was five years old and Shinta was eight. It's impossible to leave a small child"

"Mean that mama Weni knows if papa is married, why she still wants to be in a relationship with papa"

"Eye too long to explain everything. Please, don't let Mama and Willy know all this"

"I hate betrayals and lies.. I can't promise to keep my mouth shut forever pa" Melati said in tears. He could imagine the heartbreak of mom Willy when he found out he had been lied to for so long.

Where Rangga and his friends are. Weni looked still shocked by everything that happened.

"So this is why you've never returned all my attention No" Weni asked

"I've been telling you from the first place, if I can't and won't get in touch with any woman"

"But why don't you be honest, so that I never wish you would repay all my love and attention all along"

"Weni's right.Why don't you ever be honest if you're married. It is not wrong if Weni thinks, you have not accepted her love just because you want to quickly finish your college. You always answer if you don't want to date in order to finish college as soon as possible "

"Yes, I didn't say that wrong. And I got married just one year ago, before marriage that was my reason why I never wanted to hook up with any woman "

"Before marriage you must have been dating. Maybe ever since you've been in college, so you've always closed your heart to any woman "

"I've known her since I started college, but we haven't dated because Melati belongs to someone else. "

"I'm sorry, I still can't accept your lies. I say goodbye first, "said Weni and approached her papa and Melati.

"Did you talk" Weni surprised Melati and her papa

"It's been.. "

"Then we go home again, papa"

"You said you were gonna have a little party with your friend"

"Not so Pa. My head is dizzy. Papa has known Melati for a long time "

"Already Weni. I apologize if my presence makes you uncomfortable." said Melati.

"You are beautiful.Rangga is not wrong to choose you as his wife. Congratulations on your marriage. . "say Weni while looking at Jasmine from head to toe.

"Melati is indeed very beautiful, it is appropriate Rangga chose her as a wife. Rangga until want to wait he broke up from his girlfriend to be able to have Melati. Definitely Melati has something special so that it can conquer the heart of Rangga. I have to give up Rangga, even though my heart is still not sincere. But I can't love anyone's husband anymore"

Rangga and Jasmine
