Sekar & Raja Phinisi
Restu Dipalak

The parents of doctor Ucy looked at his son who was standing next to a foreign man in front of him. Both eyeballs of doctor Ucy's parents looked at Ansu's sir suspiciously.

Hm. It looks good too. From the way she dresses she looks neat and fashionable. Is he wearing these second monja items as well…? Ask her mother doctor Ucy inwardly.

“Who was your nickname?” ask Bambang ma'am.

“Ansu, buk,” replied politely.

“Where did it come from?” ask Bambang again.

“Makassar. But I live and settle in the Anambas.” area

“How old are you?” ask Mr. Bambang a little suspicious because the face of Mr. Ansu is not as young as his son.

“I... 55,” replied Mr. Ansu making the two parents of doctor Ucy look at each other. They observed Mr. Ansu's posture from top to bottom.

“Pak, mom... I beg you and mom would give us blessing,” continued doctor Ucy a little anxious because his parents are silent to each other.

“Indeed who wouldn't want to bless you…? Father same mother is just again introgasi,” reply Pak Bambang. “Where did you guys initially know? You work as a doctor too?”

“I've known Ucy for quite a while. My job is not a doctor. I am not actively working anymore either. But..” has not had time Ansu sir finish his sentence, his speech was cut by Bu Bambang.

“Jeez... How will you support my child? What are you, Cy?” bu Bambang protested against her son's choice.

“Before..” pak Bambang take a look at the name of Pak Ansu listed on the certificate. He tried to remember the name of someone who was not a stranger in his mind. “Benedictus Ansuman... This name is very similar to the hospital owner in Tarempa.?” mr. Bambang lowered the glasses he was wearing so that his gaze did not double see the face of Mr. Ansu.

“Casak anyway sir? Not that person also has a business on the phinisi ship huh?” keep mom Bambang wondering. “Cy..?”

“Iya sir, buk. This husband of mine is the man that my father and mother talk about,” said doctor Ucy with a smile.

“So you are the father of the King who used to impregnate Sekar huh?” ask Mr. Bambang to remember his son's story. “When Sekar got pregnant again your child was married to another woman, but the age of their marriage said Ucy only for corn? Yes right?” trying to keep remembering but with a memory that cornered Mr. Ansu.

Hm... Why the hell should discuss the King's ugliness? Kan me who married Ucy, inner Mr. Ansu felt cornered by the ugliness of his son was revealed.

“Iya sir, I am the King's father. But the relationship between King and Sekar has improved. They were also married two weeks ago.” Mr. Ansu tried to explain the details to remove bad opinions about his son.

“Thank God it was. Sekar can get accountability,” continued Bambang sir. “We as parents should keep a close eye on our children even though they are already big. Don't let things like that happen again.”

“Good, sir. I'll keep an eye on my kids.” Mr. Ansu confirmed his in-laws' words.

“Hm... So how, Cy. Have you made this choice?” ask Bambang sir make sure to his son.

“Iya, Sir. Ucy has chosen Ansu. Besides I was also married to Ansu in Maldives,” replied doctor Ucy with a face that was no less tense than her husband.

“Hm... It's the hell we're at blessing, buk. Want not want we have to continue to bless,” continued Bambang glanced at his wife.

“So what about sir, buk?” ansu asked impatiently to hear the answer from his wife's parents.

Mr. Bambang and Bu Bambang were silent for a moment thinking about the right answer to Mr. Ansu's question.

“Hm... Because Ucy looks happy. Plus you are also married abroad. Father and mother should also.. bless you.”.

Finally the long-awaited sentence Pak Ansu and doctor Ucy came out as well. They can breathe a sigh of relief after hearing the sentence from Mr. Bambang.

A blissful facial wrinkle emanated from Mr. Ansu and doctor Ucy. Likewise with Mr. Bambang and bu Bambang also happy to see the cheerful face of his son.

After the event asking for blessing went smoothly. Pak Ansu called Raja and Sekar to come to visit his wife's parents' house. The king took his wife and children to Ucy's doctor's house at night because he had to wait for the twins to wake up from sleep first.

Arriving at the King's house, his grandfather and step-grandmother, he got a sermon many times for his past deeds. Mr. Ansu let his son be lectured by his in-laws. All the sentences spoken by Mr. Bambang and bu Bambang are met by Mr. Ansu.

“You are so that man must have a stand. Don't play right-hand serong ok play left-hand serong ok!” said mr. Bambang.

“Dengerin tu, Raj,” connect Pak Ansu.

“If you are married to Sekar then you must be faithful to Sekar. Do not lyrics anymore,” Pak Bambang still continue his lecture even though the content of the lecture is only about that.

“Remember that, Raj,” pak Ansu continues to chimed in on Mr. Bambang's remarks.

“You are also Ans! Inget. Do not play around with Ucy,” said Mr. Bambang made his son-in-law silent at this time. “So when will you have another wedding with Ucy?” ask Mr. Bambang.

Galang who heard the news that Mr. Ansu will be married to doctor Ucy was quite happy and a little worried if he had to convey the news to his mother, Madam Lily. Frenetic news of the relationship of Pak Ansu and doctor Ucy never sniffed. But the two suddenly married.

El who last night got a call from the King if his father will hold another wedding in Batam soon to Batam. He was quite surprised when he saw Mona's presence in front of the door.

“Mona?” Sapa El's. “Ngapain you here?” el asked as he exited the airport in Batam.

“I’m waiting you (I wait for you),” squanders a hug even though El does not reply to it. “I got information from your father that he would be married again with doctor Ucy. So from the morning I wait for you at the department place so we can walk together to doctor Ucy’s home (doctor Ucy's house),” said Mona by taking a jacket from El's hand. Trying to take El's heart as best as possible.

“So you are planning to join on the wedding party? Ck!” (So you plan to join the wedding?) Mona responded to the question by nodding. El's annoyed face was visible in Mona's eyes. “Did you return King money?” (have you returned the King's money?) tanya El brings up the King's money ever given to Mona.

“Em... Not yet.” (yet) replied with fear.

“Why?” inquire probing.

“Sorry. I don't have money.” yet

“Aren't you able to work contract with magazine in Jakarta?” el asked, getting annoyed.

“Yeah. But I use the money for operations in Jakarta,” replied Mona honestly.

“Operation what? What pain?” tanya El watched Mona from head to toe. The woman looks healthy. His face looks fresh too.

“Em. Make tautin mi5s V me..” answer with shame. Mona was more embarrassed when she saw the reaction of El's face getting angry.

“Do you make the operation everything?” asking increasingly dislikes because according to El it is just a waste of money.

“I lakin for you. Whys? Why is your reaction (reaction) so gini?” mona's asking is getting all wrong.

“I said you're good enough to be GOOD GIRL. Like Sekar! Why are you so wasteful again?” Mona is getting all wrong when El always mentions the name Sekar.

“SEKAR! A SCATTER! A SCATTER! Why always Live?!” Mona spilled her vehemently. “I change my appearance to be like Sekar. I rarely party. I also learned to play cello just like Sekar. You never see it!  (But.. You never saw it) I know I’m not perfect like Sekar, that’s why I did that operation for you. (I know I'm not perfect like Sekar, I know I'm not perfect, that's why I did this operation for you..)” Mona gasped for breath because her sense of regret to the seemingly blind El didn't see the change. “Fine... I think I should get out of your life El. I’m not Sekar. I’m Mona.” (I'm not Sekar. I'm Mona)

Mona started giving El the jacket she had held. He turned his back to leave El. Mona feels her struggle to get El is enough.

“Mona...” said El when the woman had gone a few steps away from him. “Mona..!” El walked over to Mona.

“What?”

“Since when did you change your appearance?” el asked with a faint smile. He only realized that the clothes Mona was wearing were lying from top to bottom.

Mona, who sees El's thin smile, feels she has hope of getting back with El.

“You like the same color pants shirt I wear?” mona asked by showing off her XL size tshirt. “If you like, I will buy all XL size tshirts,” Mona said with a cheerful face.

“No need... (No need)” El started hugging the woman in front of him. “I just want you not to be wasteful. Thank you for changing. But I mean changing does not mean that in total you have to be Sekar. I want you to be a good girl. Love you...” Mona who heard the word ‘love you’ from El was a little surprised. Finally the magic words came out of El's mouth after a long time.

“Love you too..” Increasingly strengthen El's embrace. “Love you so much.”

“Just be good girl,” rubbing Mona's head with full of affection.

“So... Can I come to your father's wedding party?”

“Yeah. Let’s go!” El manages to get Mona out of the airport and into Ucy's doctor's house.
