The Secret Marriage of a Couple of High School Children
Message from Mama Rani

Ello. Her memory returned a few days ago when she was staying at the Darmawangsa residence.

The Flashback

"Where's ayura?" rani asked as Ello picked up some drinking water in the kitchen.

"Again the bath ma," replied Ello while approaching the direction of the mother. "What's cooking mom?"

"Your favorite flour fried boiler" replied Mama Rani. "Sir Tina please continue for a while. I'd like to have a chat with Ello for a bit" asked Rani's mom to her housekeeper.

"Ello, come with mama for a while," asked Mama Rani while holding her youngest son's hand.

"Where's ma?" ask Ello. Not answering, Mama Rani continued to hold Ello until they stopped in the backyard of the Darmawangsa residence.

"Sit down, baby. Someone wants mama to talk," said Mama Rani who has now placed her body in the iron chair that is there.

Without being asked twice, Ello finally sat his body next to Rani's mother. He was quite curious about what Mama Rani wanted to talk about. Because if you have been looking for a comfortable and quiet place like now, it can be ascertained that their conversation is quite serious.

"What do you want to say? I think it's serious," asked Ello while staring intensely at his mother's face.

"Tomorrow you and Ayura will be officially married, not just religiously. But also legally in this country," said Mama Rani began their conversation. While Ello was still listening to where the direction of the conversation of the beautiful woman who had given birth to it.

"Mama knew the Aditama family for a long time. At that time papa, mama and papi-in-law you met while studying in Japan. The three of us, errat. The four of us with Ayura's mom went to college and accidentally majored in the same. Until finally the four of us become friends who support each other. Even without us expecting, fate makes mama and papa as a couple husband and wife. So too with papi and mami Ayura." Mama Rani smiled as she hung over the times they met until they became very close.

"Did you know? Even before you, Fano, Hiro or Ayura were born. The four of us have agreed to betroth our children in the future so that the relationship between the Darmawangsa and Aditama families never ends" said Mama Rani. And at that time Ello only understood the reason his brother would be engaged not only because Fano loved Ayura, but there was another factor that was the agreement in the past.

"From the beginning, I was convinced that Fano could not possibly unite with Ayura. Especially since the beginning, Ayura has run away from her engagement with your sister."

Mama Rani was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh. "Only, your Papa and your in-laws will remain steadfast if the marriage between Fano and Ayura is to continue. There are only two."

"What ma?" ask Ello curiously.

"When Ayura's mother died, she told Genta to marry Ayura to one of her sons. You or Fano. Because at that time, Ayura's mother was only sure that only one of you could care for and love her daughter sincerely. And because of that, your papi-in-law betrothed Fano to Ayura," said Rani's mother with tears flowing while remembering the memories with her late best friend who was none other than Ello's mother-in-law.

"If the second reason from your papa," said Mama Rani. "Before deciding to match Ayura and Fano, papa you had a discussion with Fano. And your sister volunteered to be Ayura's future husband. Until without a second thought, your papa agreed. Moreover, according to your father, in terms of age and career Fano is more suitable to be the husband of Ayura than you are still in High School" continued Mama Rani.

Ello nodded his head. Agree with what Mama Rani said. He is still in High School. At that time, marriage was not in the planning at all. But because of unexpected events in Jogja, completely changed his future planning. But until now Ello never regretted it.

"Even though the plan to marry Fano and Ayura failed, but mama seneng when she found out it turned out that the Drmawangsa and Aditama families remained besan. Because it turns out that you and Ayura are the matchmakers," said Mama Rani then clasped her youngest child's hand.

"Mama now just wants to pesen with you. You should be more patient with Ayura. He was seventeen years old. His emotions are still very unstable. Especially when girls the next day can still wander even to stay at home friends, Ayura just has to stay at home and always be beside you. And it must have been very difficult for Ayura" said Mama Rani and was nodding her head by Ello.

Ello knows very well. Because according to him, the SMA period is a time of true self-seeking. Teenagers of the age of Ayura will experience a high level of emotional development. The development of early adolescent emotions such as Ayura will show a strong sensitive, reactive nature, the emotions are negative and temperamental (irritability, anger, sadness, and moody). And that's what Ello experienced when he was the same age as his wife.

While the final teenager like himself, has now begun to be able to control everything. Even Ello still remembered his emotions a few months ago, still very unstable. Until he chose to run away to Jogja rather than in Jakarta to attend the failed engagement of his brother.

Adolescents who thrive in a less conducive environment, their emotional maturity will be hampered. So often experience negative consequences of bad behavior.

While teenagers who live in a conducive and harmonious environment can help emotional maturity. Such as adekuasi (precision) emotions: love, affection, sympathy, altruist (helpful helping), respect (attitude respect and respect for others). And can also control emotions. Not easily offended. Not aggressive. Not explode. Facing failure wisely and healthily.

And Ello is grateful for entering the category of teenagers who live in a conducive and harmonious environment. All that is none other than mama Rani who always supports him with positive and calming sentences.

"Never think if your marriage relationship will be cool and run smoothly like your expectations. Because in the early years of marriage, conflict may be more frequent because this is a time of adjustment between husband and wife," said Mama Rani again gave encouragement to Ello.

"Moreover you get married without anyone knowing each other first. Maybe even now mama knows a lot more about the nature of Ayura than you who incidentally is her husband," said Mama Rani again.

"What do you know about Ayura?" ask Ello curiously.

"Ayura is very spoiled," Mama Rani replied smiling.

"That's mah Ello know," answered Ello slightly disappointed. He thought Rani's mom knew something she didn't know about her.

"Do you know why Ayura is spoiled?" ask mama Rani. And immediately it was also reciprocated with a headband by his youngest son. Because Ello does only know if Ayura is spoiled without knowing the cause.
