Tama And Ratna
3. Husband Candidate

3 Months into dating, Tama is transferred to Samarinda. Tama and Ratna undergo LDR but unexpectedly, although the two rarely call each other but their communication feels so sticky and quality. Sometimes Tama would send him dozens of chats just to tell him about his colleagues. A day of stories about the trio of kwekkwek Pak Slamet, Pak Patience, and Mr. Somat. Sometimes he can tell a long story about a girl in his unit. Her name is Nesya, a strange girl who always follows wherever Mr. Slamet goes.

Ratna is also so, sometimes she can chat up to dozens just to tell a long story about her consul. Or about Dipta the stinky koas that makes it flooded with patients when guarding the night. Heran, Ratna and Tama sometimes do not reply to each other's messages, but their feelings can reach each other. Time and distance cannot separate the two.

"Where's your deck day?" tanya Tama while both are on video call.

"Mas tumben clock can already phone? Another cello?" ask Ratna.

"Again off so relax. You also deck at this hour tumben already at home," Tama asked back.

"What house? It's still in the hospital, I'm in the break room. Parno alone continued to open the line turned out to be Mas again online," Ratna said.

"Mas temenin yes," said Tama.

"How long has it been, how long has it not been home?" ask Tama again.

"With almost 36 hours I didn't go home. This is after I can go home even outside the heavy rain," explained Ratna.

"Sir, next month I want to see Dek Ratna?" ask Tama.

"Next month? While on holiday?" ask Ratna.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Weighing Ratna mending Mas meet Mama. Mama must have missed Mas, too" Ratna said.

"Mas wants to meet you with Mama. I'd like to see you too, Mom and Dad, would you?"

"Mas doesn't want to say hello to Ratna, does he?"

"Bingo. I want to apply for the Ratna Deck, after all 3 months of your koas period is over. Before you get busy with your cooperation, you want to marry you first, want a deck?" ask Tama.

Ratna long silent. His gaze was empty and his mind started to go everywhere. 2 years they met, acquaintances, until dating it felt enough for Tama and Ratna to recognize each other. Though the two did not expect much to remember when the two met they were in a state of heartbreak. Tama could have been an escape for Ratna and vice versa, but apparently the Creator was serious when bringing these two servants together.

"May Mas, Ratna wait," replied Ratna in a soft tone followed by a smile that brimmed sweetly lifting both cheeks filled with a rounder funny with a shy red hue.

Tama keeps her promise, she comes to Ratna's house along with her mother carrying a pair of rings to tie their relationship before heading to the wedding. That day, the Tama family and Ratna's family searched for a date for their wedding. Twenty January is a good date for both the extended families and also close to Ratna's birthday in February.

"Wah it turns out gini yes it feels in the real lamar," Ratna told Tama.

"Hmm it turns out this is how her proposal feels accepted," Tama spoke.

Both giggle. If you remember their past that both have other people at heart, it's funny. It turns out that the length of a person's relationship does not determine whether the two people are paired. In fact Tama and Ratna, Pratama Aji the hitz Jaksel met with Ratna the innocent girl from Purworejo, a small town on the border of DIY and Central Java. And what brings them together is a special city, the student city of Yogyakarta.

Tama still has 2 days before she returns to Samarinda, so she plans to take Ratna around Jogja. The exact agenda is to go to the langgi rice stall not far from the house of Papa Seno who Tama occupied during his duty in Jogja. Then the two went around the campus area and chose to sit in a cafe near the monument station.

"That arm was made of what the hell Mas, so hard," Ratna said.

"Yes, the police force is so soft" said Tama.

"A lot of times Mas, he said the police but his stomach was big, fat again," Ratna said a little whisper made Tama laugh.

"Mas Tama, mumpung here buy spring rolls near the Mutiara hotel," Ratna said.

The two moved to chat now. After buying the lumpia, Tama also bought 2 cups of sundae and then both sat on an empty bench near the mall malioboro. Tama and Ratna have a much different posture. Ratna's height is only about 155 cm while Tama is almost 180 cm. If both of them walk this way, many would think Tama is Ratna's sister. Like the mothers selling chicken satay near them is also wrong. Dikira Tama is taking her sister for a walk.

"Mom, my wife-to-be. How should I persuade?" ask Tama to the mothers of satay sellers earlier.

"Beliin sate aja mas, mbok menawi no longer angry this," said the mothers.

"Mother knows that my future wife likes satay. Yes already pesen 2 servings yes, which is 1 portion 15 thousand which is 1 portion 20 thousand," said Tama made the mothers laugh before making their order.

"Mom, whose portion of 15 thousand cabenya manyin yes," Ratna said later.

"Eh pinter's mother, too, has not been crabbed the mother of the person," said Tama back to the mothers.

"Where's Mom? Funny is my future wife, I love very much Mom same her. That's why I keep hugging, afraid of being mistaken for a missing child. Later approached the same officer who was there continued to be asked 'Where's the first to go, deck?' yes Ratna," said Tama continues to tease Ratna. Not only did Ratna laugh, but the mothers also laughed when her face before chatting with Tama was still a bit grim looking at her merchandise there was still a lot left.

"Nuwun sewu nggih bu, my husband-to-be is a bit of a bitch," said Ratna.

"Mboten napa-napa. Mothers also like someone who wants to talk," replied the mothers.

Sometimes Tama can serandom this invites people to talk, sometimes also the behavior can be amazingly strange. But Ratna likes it, even when Tama easily flushes next to Ratna she thinks it's funny. The definition of love is blind as it seems, but Ratna does not care because she is happy with her future husband Pratama Aji Saputra.

"Mas came home sleepy," whined Ratna.

"What time is this? 9 Hours. Wow, I really married a boy," said Tama.

"Mas.., sleepy really, let's go home..," Ratna whined.

"Totally the first lady, yes yes we go home."

"Come on," said Ratna.

Tama could not bear to see Ratna was already half asleep this way, so Tama thoughtlessly carried Ratna on her back and let Ratna comfortably sleep while hugging her neck. Tama carries Ratna only to the taxi base, then she looks for a taxi to take the two home.

If Ratna is grateful to have been met with Pratama, then Tama will prostrate to God because it is allowed to keep Adiratna. He loved Ratna more than anything. This girl is so mature, so innocent and funny, also sometimes it can be so fierce and ugly. Tama liked all about Ratna, either her promise or the wise sentences she quoted from the novels she often read.

Ratna had read a novel about the first love story that is inseparable even to death fetch, Ratna also said she often imagined her love story will be so too. Tama cannot say if Ratna is her first love, because her first love is obviously someone else, but Tama promises that they will not be separated unless death picks up.
