NOT MY DARK LOVER
Story From Mami

Seconds continued to roll tenpa felt, it had been minutes long Marva hesitated to step away from his backrest on the wall of the sink gathering the intention to meet her mother-in-law who had first entered the room.

"What will mom say to me, then?" a chant to the wind that passes. He let out a rough sigh, then he began to move to prepare a cup of herbal drink of special potions for his father-in-law.

His left hand holds a cup arranged on a small plate, both of which are made of white ceramic with sky blue flowers.

"Mi!" he shouted while knocking on the door.

"Come in." Marva pressed the knob of the door and then entered, Mami was lying leaning against the bed there was a book on His lap.

"Mommy, drink the herbal tea first yes," Marva offered a cup to help her drink.

"Thank you, son." My mother smiled warmly. "Sit down next to her, Mami." patting the side of the bed to let her daughter-in-law sit down. This has never happened before.

"Yeah, Mi." Marva according.

"Mommy. Show you something, son,"

"What's that?" tanyanya.

Marva glared, it turned out that in her lap it was a collection of photo albums, not books that she had thought before.

"This is a photo of Mas Handi, Mi?" he asked after seeing who the little boy was sitting sweetly on the carpet holding the toy in both hands.

"Yes, when I was five."

Marva stared in the photo. The little boy's face did not change much with Hamdi's present face. Marva smiled faintly knowing that little Handi was also this blanket. He carefully opened photo by photo.

Some sheets have been seen. Handi along with a series of academic achievements,

Pride enveloped Marva, she hoped that later Narra would imitate her father's intelligence.

But, wait a minute!!

"Mii. Mas Handi, don't have a photo with his friend, or?" asked Marva was surprised, this album really only has a photo of Handi and her parents. Marva tucked her unraveling hair behind her ear. "Mii. Franda once told me, Mas Handi had a best friend. The picture wasn't there from earlier I saw, Mi?"

"Marva," Mami turned towards Marva smiling bitterly. "Handi's nature, like this, is because we ourselves have constricted her," Mami's reflexes shed tears considering how much Handi suffered because of her own parents. "There's something my mom wants to tell you."

Marva gasped to notice her mother-in-law suddenly crying, "Mi," she closed the album and then took a gentle hand of mami martua "Cerita. I'm ready to hear it."

Mami smiled intently, "Long before you and Franda knew my son, there was one story that made Handi the man he is today. But before, I want to tell you about the beginning of my story and lukewarm first." The main hope is in this story, hopefully Marva understands the meaning of this story.

Berto and Vera are the names of Handi's parents. Running a business from generation to generation has become a custom of the Hutama family. Maintaining the good name of the company and the big surname Hutama is already an absolute right of every member, even arranged marriages have occurred from their great-grandmother, must be a fellow from a distinguished family or fellow business partners who are mutually beneficial.

I don't know why until now they were able to comply with this family rule.

"Are you, Mami and Papi are also married by parents?" asked Marva in curiosity.

"Yes. Listen to Mami's story."

"Look.... "

Vera is a nenantu prepared by her parents for a boy named BertoMoas Hutama. The two of them have been married from childhood until they grow up. And they could not refuse it, both of their parents were both strengthened to become besan. Mami from Handi and Mamah from Vera had made friends at the gathering their parents made, while Papi from both of them was a fellow business partner who was mutually beneficial to each other.

Love or without love, they end up getting married tying the strings of each other's extended families. Berto with his authority became the chosen son to become the largest heir in their family while the other two brothers have been given their respective rations, Berto loudly received the mandate from the family to divert a large company into his name.

"What, Mami loved Papi during your marriage?"

"Mommy, don't know for sure love or not this name. Clearly, we can keep our household up to this point, Marva."

"Can it be, dad?" asked Marva frowning.

Yusdistira Arhandi Hutama was born in the middle of their small family. Berto was very proud of the gift, his first son was definitely the next heir, the offspring of himself was the winner, not the offspring of his sister and older sister.

Handi's nickname. He grows up to be as intelligent a child as Berto and Vera expected, but his personality is far from what was expected

During the SD to Junior High School period, Handi always tried to contradict the rules that have been recorded in the Hutama family.

Starting from the lifestyle to the association of Handi disobey all that. Hobbi and Handi's favorite is a bicycle race with friends at school, Handi was noted as one of the students who often fuss in class. Handi secretly likes to consume fast food sharpeners sold out there, food-sauce to drinks that contain soda and artificial coloring agents.

Her papi often scolded, but not Handi's name if it can't fight.

Until the time of entering Handi High School world magically changed drastically. Berto and Vera force Handi to attend a private high school for business school, Handi separated from his friends at Junior High School.

This is the fault of both parents. They make Virgo as if as Handi's best friend in school, whereas Virgo is a confidant to love Handi anywhere.

Until Virgo gets into a tragic accident due to his sacrifice to Handi, Virgo is killed on the spot.

Starting from that incident Handi was constantly pressed by his parents, "Virgo died because you are Handi, you never listen to Papi said. So Papi was forced to have Virgo spy on you so we knew you were still being reckless or not. Now, you've lost one life because of your selfishness." that's what Papi told Handi.

As time passed, Handi turned into a stiff person and did not have a free relationship for himself, difficult to open his heart to the closest people.

Franda and Marva are close friends, but Handi only looks at Franda. Marva, that girl is like a shadow to Handi.

"Marva. You can catch. What Mami told you from earlier, what did Mami's story mean earlier, right!?"

"I'm not the woman you're marrying, I'm not the woman of any respectable descent, Mi." Marva said what she caught from her father's story.

"Listen to Mami all right, baby. Handi was the first descendant to defy our family rule. And you're Marva, the first thing that wasn't our family's choice, you're the first couple to make a new experience of our family."

"We are too arrogant Marva, the Lord has rebuked us through your marriage. And we want to make amends to you, please defend your household."

Marva did not think there was an obstacle that he had to face to escape from Handi.

Truly, fate played the way of Marva's life.
