14 Heart as hard as steel

Practice make perfect, all initially can not, but if you want to make changes, surely certainly can. It could be because you're used to it.

The clearer the second time someone's greeting back to sound. "Assalamualaikum..

"Let Danum open the door.” said Danum, then walk out of the room and towards the main entrance of the house in the style of the roof of the salt shed.

A glance at Danum looking at the clock on the wall of the living room shows the time of half five in the afternoon. Danum opened the door and saw someone he knew...

••

"Wa'alaikumussalam.” said hello Danum lirih, surprised by who came.

"Mbak Ratna!” lirih Danum, surprised. What did the woman come to the house for, was it just to hurt? Or just to want to know? Is indeed the woman who is liked by her brother really loves Damar. Prejudice and presumption of a flash of lightning hinted that Danum did not like Ratna at all.

Highlighting his eyes narrowed, Danum was suspicious of Ratna's arrival. "What's Miss Ratna coming to the house?” danum asked, refusing to mince words.

Ratna painted her smile, knowing that her lover's sister's question, implied dislike. "Where is?” ratna said, asking her lover.

Still with narrowed eyes, and five seconds later began to round normally. Nodding though reluctant to answer, but Danum also did not want to forbid Ratna to meet Damar who was in a sick condition. "There.” replied Danum, the time lag he was silent.

"Mas Damar is sick!” danum continued, successfully made Ratna round her eyes.

Ratna immediately removed Danum's body which was exactly standing in the middle of the one-meter-sized door uncovered in half. Forced Danum shifts her body, and gives Ratna a way to enter the living room.

"Mar, Damar!” exclaimed Ratna, calling Damar all the way to the middle room. It was as if he was the most understanding lover.

Ratna looked at the door of the room that was opened, heading straight for the room. But a second later his gaze was bowed when he saw the Holy Mother sitting on the edge of the bed giving a warm compress of water on the forehead of Damar who was lying down.

The Holy Mother turned towards the door, exactly where Ratna was standing. And smiled softly at the girl loved by her son who was looking down.

"Enter Nak,” said Holy Mother, allowing Ratna to enter the room measuring 3 meters.

At Ratna's parents' house, of course, the room measuring 3 meters is only as wide as the bathroom. But not for a family that lives a simple life like Damar, a room measuring 3 meters is very comfortable to unwind and all the restless after tired of work.

The Holy Mother stood up and invited Ratna to sit where she was sitting again. "Sorry, this room looks messy and narrow,” said Holy Mother.

"Come on Ma'am, why do you have to apologize, we didn't beg him for anything. Don't make me more dilemma.” Inner Damar

Ratna shook her head, "No Ma'am, this is very convenient.”

Damar smiled bitterly at Ratna's arrival at his house. Ratna's second visit came four months ago,

"Hay...” that's all Damar can say, Ratna smiled. But Damar saw that smile was bland.

"Mother comes out first, son,” said the Holy Mother, feeling disturbing the two young people.

"Don't Mom, I stay here,” pinta Damar, however he feels not good just alone with Ratna whose incident is not muhrim. Even during the relationship is not as small as Damar kissed Ratna, although he did not deny occasionally hugging and embracing Ratna's shoulders.

Sacred Ma'am looked at Ratna, Ratna smiled and nodded.

"Look, Nang. Here Nang,” exclaimed Holy Mother calling her youngest son to replace her accompanying Damar and Ratna in the room.

"Let Damar come out Bu,” pinta Damar. Ratna and Holy Mother looked at each other.

"But you're not sick anymore Mar?” Ratna.

Danum has arrived at the doorway of the room, "Num, please help Mas, make a seat on the sofa of the living room.” pinta Damar.

No one can prevent Damar, if he has spoken. Like a candidate for leadership. Ratna shifted her body and came out of the room and followed the Holy Mother who had gone first to the kitchen to make porridge also made drinks for her guests.

Now Damar has sat on the sofa in the middle room with his head resting on the back of the sofa. As it stands, there is only one elongated sofa with one small sofa.

Because her Papa is busy working while her Mama is busy with her fellow artists. His two older brothers, one male and one female, were married and living with their families outside the city. And rarely get together like a whole family.

After an hour, Holy Mother was finished with a bowl of porridge. Seeing the Holy Mother was about to give porridge to Damar who as usual was reluctant to be bribed. Ratna asked that the bowl of porridge be given to her only.

"Let Ratna feed Damar, Bu.”

For the last time.” continued Ratna in heart.

Holy Mother smiled gently, and gave the bowl to Ratna.

Patently Ratna fed Damar with warm porridge made by Holy Mother. Damar felt that after a year of love with Ratna, this was the time when Damar felt the true tenderness and care from within Ratna.

Make him upset to take off the girl who is currently wearing a long plisket skirt and casual clothes with a hairstyle that is tied one up.

"Why new this time, I feel your attention Rat.” Inner Damar monologue.

After Ratna had fed Damar, Danum who was sitting in the study chair was still not satisfied with Ratna's gentle attitude to Damar. It was as if Ratna's tenderness alone wasn't enough to make her think Ratna was good to be her sister-in-law.

"Thank you Rat,” said Damar with his pale lips.

Ratna nodded and smiled, a smile that made Damar even more pain if he remembered the betrayal Ratna had done.

"Sorry Mar.” said Ratna still lowered her head, while playing the end of the clothes she wore.

Damar frowned, "Why do you always have to apologize?”

The Holy Mother and Danum who heard were astonished. What was? Why should Ratna apologize? Will he make a decision. After hanging up her romance with Damar? I don't know, Danum just shrugged his shoulders.

Feeling romantic alone can make everything a drama. Plus not getting the blessing of parents who are clearly different castes.

"Because of me, you got so much humiliation from my parents as well as my friends.” Ratna said, looking down deeply, just a glance he looked at Damar.

Damar wore a bitter smile, he felt fine even though the person who belittled and humiliated himself, was like a wild rat. "I've prepared hearts as hard as steel, and ears as thick as the walls of China, Rat.” Damar paused his sentence.

It's not just from Ratna's parents and friends that Damar is used to it and it can be amazing. Now Damar must swallow the bitter pill of his love story that he has not had time to plant near the wedding fleet.

Damar must give up hope, and hope to be with Ratna. Damar also increasingly realized not only the happiness that can be obtained from love that only makes his heart rust. But more to follow where his ego beat the confidence that is increasingly eroded by a futile struggle.

Silent... No one opened their voices after Damar spoke. Damar is now more introverted in composing every sentence he will say. All the life lessons he learned. Makes him a more competent adult. "Rat...” Damar's voice again broke the silence.

But not yet Damar let out the intent from his heart, the voice of a man sounded very loud and banged on the door very loudly.

BRACKET

BRACKET

BRACKET.

Everyone inside the house gasped and looked at each other. Ratna also Damar can deduce who the owner of the voice that sounded loud and heavy.

"RATNAAAAA..” yelling outside the house is very disturbing.
