Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
28. Young Marriage (?)

At 19:30 Cleona and Rapa had just arrived home, and that of course made Leo and Pandu interrogate the two, for not informing them first. It is so fun to spend time together in the playground in the city center, making Rapa and Cleona forget to check their cell phones and send messages to their parents.

“Do not doubt you guys we have betrothed yes, can just go around like this without telling us. You don't know how worried the parents are at home? We never forbid you to play, but at least tell people at home so that your Mother and Mother do not have to worry like before!”

“You too, Bang, don't wait Papi love the freedom of courtship with Queen until dare to bring Papi's daughter without permission. We as parents are worried. If anything happens on the road how? Who will be responsible, who should be blamed?”

Leo and Pandu took turns nagging the two teenagers who were still lowered their heads. Cleona clearly admitted that she was wrong, and this could be said for the first time to get a scolding from her two fathers. Indeed, the two old men did not nag him with a loud and angry tone, but with a worried tone it was more evident in the heart, and the regret that arose could not be avoided.

“Sorry Brother, Dad, Pi."

“Queen also apologized. We promise we won't do it again,” regrets Cleona.

“Other times you will not forget again for permission on you, sorry for making Mami the same Mother worried. Sorry Brother,” Rapa said solemnly, staring at Lyra and Luna alternately.

“Do you need both of me to marry so as not to make parents worry?!”

“Can't!” Lyra quickly rejected Leo's proposal. “They are still Le school, who really want to marry them..”.

“What's the difference? Lo same Pandu also used to marry when SMA,”

“That's the problem why I refused their marriage at this early age. You think marriage at a young age, delicious?!” lyra's constant snorting refused her children to be married this young.

“Don't you want to marry young? At that time I did not forget that you are very happy when you know in a mate."

“Ish, Leo, you don't understand! I'm a strong, tough, hardy girl. Emang lo willing, lo child..”

“Amit-amit! Before your son hurt my son, I hung first Si Rapa on the flagpole.”

“Yes, so don't marry them now. Wait for them to grow up, Le.”

The debate of Lyra and Leo being a spectacle of Rapa and Cleona, the two teenagers stared at their parents with confused frowns, and, while Pandu who sat beside his wife was only able to rub rough his face and sigh long.

“Sorry, it used to be a jerk man for you,” said Pandu who grabbed his wife into an embrace that made Lyra surprised and felt guilty.

“Hopefully my misery used to not descend on our son. But, I agree with you not to marry Rapa and Queen now. Their age is still too early, their emotions are still so unstable and difficult to control. After all, we have felt that it is not easy to live a marriage. Let our children go through adolescence as they should, in the future let the God who determines, after all, we can only plan, the final decision remains in the hands of God.”

Pandu spoke at length, then looked right in his wife's eyes, giving a brief kiss in both beautiful eyes and saying an apology once again before turning to Leo and Luna for their consent delayed the marriage between Cleona and Rapa.

“What's wrong 'Are you not married at a young age?” ask Pandu to the two teenagers who are still standing next to the sofa sitting Luna-Leo.

“But Brother is still licensed to date Queen ‘kan?” ask Rapa to make sure.

“But his healthy courtship, huh? Don't worry Mami as much as others. Please take good care of Queen,” said Luna staring softly at Rapa.

“Abang definitely take care of Queen, Mi, even if necessary with your own life.” Rapa said with a serious look, but a flip-flop throw right on Rapa's forehead, making the teenage boy grimace in pain and stared intently at Leo who had dared to punch him.

“So-soan lo take care of my son with your life, cih, hand sliced knife aja lebaynya for mercy!” leo's lips made Queen and the others laugh, while Rapa snorted in annoyance.

“That's his private, Pi. I'll take care of you, even if my life is at stake,”

“Nothing is like that, Bang. You're not a romeo willing to die with his juliet. Mommy quite knows who you are, just splash the pool you don't dare!” lyra's lips, which again made the teenage boy snort annoyed.

Indeed, what the mother said is not wrong, when she was a child, maybe Rapa really likes berengs, but after he slipped and fell into the pool deep enough and so surprised to make Rapa difficult to balance his body on the water, also his legs are quite sore due to sprains and difficult in movement, making Rapa finally drowned and almost out of breath if only his father did not immediately lift him to the surface.

Since then, Rapa no longer wants to swim, even at school when practicing swimming, Rapa never once joined. Never mind swimming, standing on the edge of the pool alone he was reluctant. Rapa always keeps a distance with the name of the pool, no matter how shallow the pool is.

“Abang is afraid to jump into the pool, Bun, but Brother will boldly pull Queen to get away from the situation that was about to hit her,” Rapa said in a proud tone.

Another flip-flop floated up, hit Rapa's head, and the culprit was still the same person. Leo stared intently at the teenage boy who rubbed his head hit by the throw of his flip-flops, then said, “After all you say! Lo doain my son wretched?!”

“That's a parable, Papi!” upset Rapa.

“That parable is a good one, not even one like that. You know, that saying is prayer? What if God does not say good words?”

Rapa snorted annoyedly. Her father could always keep her from speaking. Arguing with Leo is exhausting, and so far only Lyra is able to keep up.

“Papi area only, lah, Abang cape, want to sleep.” Better, than having to keep going. Free, because Leo will never want to megalah.

“Queen, Brother home, huh? You do not forget to take a shower before going to bed,” Rapa said to her lover who is still loyal beside her.

“Goodnight, Queen.”

Cup. A brief kiss of Rapa landed on Cleona's forehead and then ran out of Leo's house before the Mami's collection urn floated up and made her head leak.

“Fucking why! How dare you nodain my son!”

That wrathful shout was the last Rapa heard before she actually left her lover's parents' house with a scattered laugh accompanying her footsteps. Happiness made the old man upset.
