The End of Two Semesters
Chapter 21 – Black On White

Arya finds Santi sitting pensively in the living room. All the guests from the Aryan family including his boss Arya and Asep had already fallen asleep. Arya has not closed her eyes, as she still does not expect her decision to marry Santi. Indeed it is Arya's crazy idea to marry Santi, because he does not want Santi's child to be born without a father.

Arya sits herself next to Santi, Sandikit shortened because of her actions. “Not sleeping, San? Pregnant people do not stay up late, not good, pity your child,” said Arya.

“Ngagetin you, Ar!” santi Tukas. “Not sleepy, Ar,” he continued.

Arya knew what Santi was feeling tonight, she felt it too. How can after tomorrow they legitimately be husband and wife, but they only marry black over white. In their marriage there was a covenant that was only valid for the next year.

“I know what you feel, I feel it too,” Arya said.

“What do I feel, and you feel? Sure same?” said Santi.

“Ya may be the same anyway?” answer Arya. “There is sleep,” Arya's word.

“Hmmm ...,” the answer is just mumbling.

Santi from earlier could not sleep, because he was still thinking about the fate of his marriage with Arya later. A marriage that is only black on white, where after one year, the marriage will end. While Santi hopes that later in the day after his wedding, Arya will be his life companion, because Arya is a good man, whom he has met. But, how could it be like that? Santi realizes Arya is only helping him, not loving him, because there are other women who are still very Aryan love, but there is no blessing from their parents to continue their relationship.

Different from himself. Although he still loves Fano, but Fano has managed to make it fall apart, making his life ruined, he said, and made his heart melt because of the actions and rejection of Fano when held responsible for what he had done to Santi.

“Ar,” call Santi with heavy voice.

“Ya, what's up?”

“Can I ask?”

“Hmm .. please,” Arya replied.

“Daughter do you know that you are getting married tomorrow?” ask Santi.

Arya exhaled her breath a little heavy. How did he tell Naira that he will marry a pregnant woman tomorrow? Although only limited to black marriage on white, he did not want to tell Naira, because it would hurt Naira. “No I didn't tell him,” the answer is heavy.

“Oh, I thought you told him,” Santi said.

“How could I tell him that, San? Even though our marriage is only black on white, I can't tell her,” explained Arya.

“Why? You still love her? And, after it's all over you want to come back with her?” ask Santi.

“You ask how strange that is? Yes, I still love him, until this moment. But, I think the feelings of mother and father who have been hurt by his father Naira,” explained Arya.

“But you guys are still in touch, right?”

“I—iya anyway, our relationship is fine? Just now we ...”

“Iya, I just called her,” Arya replied. “What's the matter, San? Don't talk about Naira, okay? Don't think about it, don't think about it,” he continued. “What is it that makes you unable to sleep?” ask Arya.

Santi took his breath. He could not sleep because he thought about Arya's words with Naira while on the phone. From the look on Arya's face, implying a deep longing for Naira. Santi is truly envious of Naira, whom her lover loves so deeply, despite her parents' opposition to her relationship. Unlike him, he gets an irresponsible man, and only damages himself. The first was his personal driver first, and the second was Fano.

“Didih, because of that I can not sleep? Don't you! I miss my mom, when I'm getting married to a nice guy like you, you're not with me, papa too. But, I don't expect papa too much, papa will definitely never want to forgive me, Ar. I love you so much papa. I'm gini because all of this is my form of protest to papa. Yes already if you are already disappointed and hate me, what can I do?” clearly Santi covered her heartbreak.

“Papa you're just disappointed, San. Surely someday papa you will understand you who, you who are patient, huh? Already now you are sleeping, tomorrow you will be tired, you know?” Arya.

“Yes later, I'm not sleepy, Ar. There if you want to sleep, tomorrow is just a family event, no guests from anywhere? Most people here who will later come to watch. So I'm not too tired.”

“Yes, but you are pregnant. Pregnant people don't stay up, San?”

“Yes yes, I'm going to the room. You also rest there, soy sauce later, do you want to get married? Need extra energy for the first night, Mr Arya?” santi said with teasing Arya.

“Extra power? Hmmm right too?” Arya said with a chuckle. “First night, looks like exciting tomorrow night. There's a first night. Okay, I'm gonna put in some extra energy for tomorrow night. Are you ready for Mrs Arya?” aryan Ledek.

“Nantang, Sir? Will it be my turn to act you run away? Don't you need to pretentiously’an talk like that? I'm going to bed! Bye prospective husband contract ...,” he said while waving to Arya.

“This contract how?”

“Kan Only one year, kek ngcontract home, right? If this is different from contracting a household!” santi replied, then left Arya in the living room.

Arya just smiled at Santi's behavior. “Bye is also my contract wife candidate. Good night, may you dream of your handsome future husband,” said Arya.

Santi stopped his steps, and turned towards Arya. “Huweekkk ... handsome from where ya, sir? Good looking from the top of Mount Semeru, and see it with a Cotton Buds straw!”

“Wah started teasing. Gini-gini I'm the most handsome driver you know?” Arya.

“Stupid time! I don't want to dream of you!” santi then left Arya.

“Santi ... be careful the way! Are you pregnant half way?!” exclaim Arya.

“I'm fine. My son too, don't be lebai!’ answer Santi.

Santi went into his room. He sat himself on the edge of the bed. Santi thinks that if Arya only cares about Santi's son, she doesn't care about Santi.

“Entah later if my son is born, how will Arya attitude with me? Is it still as caring as I am, or will be indifferent and not care about me, because that is the time where I will part with people as good as Arya. I don't love, I'm just amazed, and I like him who is very good to me,” Santi murmured.

Arya is still thinking about Naira's words, which she says will continue to persuade her mother Arya to forgive herself and her parents. Arya's mother still can not approve Arya's relationship with Naira, although Naira's father has given a little green light to Arya. Perhaps because of Aryan economic conditions, Arya has been successful compared to before, so both Naira's parents approve.

“But I can't fight mother's blessing. Moreover, mom seems very dear to Santi? I still love you so much, Nai. But I appreciate my mother. Is love never replaceable? Even if you have incised wounds and grudges?” Aryan gumama.
