I Choose to Separate
Episode 51

Mahendra let go of his embrace and looked at Rianti's face wistfully.Seeing at the lips that he had failed to taste.Close his face slowly.

Rianti was wary of the events of that time repeated again.Started to close his eyes when he felt his lips were gently kissed by Mahendra.

Mahendra furiously clenched Rianti's lips but took a soft sip, alternating the upper and lower lips.The blood both pumped faster.Rianti replied to what Mahendra was doing. Getting a reply, Mahendra was more courageous to deepen his kiss and explore every corner and side of Rianti's mouth.

Both of them ended their first kiss when they started to run out of breath.Mahendra put his forehead on Rianti's forehead while permeating the happiness he had just felt.

"Thank you dear for this happiness "Mahendra stroked the face and tidied the haircut Rianti.Rianti just smiled and nodded.

"You must tell me, how you came to like me."

"But while being hugged" Rianti turned his back to Mahendra and leaned his back against the young man.

Mahendra crossed his arms hugging Rianti's waist, it seemed like they both liked the position very much.

"I used to secretly like you, who was the girl at school that time who did not like a Mahendra, handsome young man, smart, smart,rich.But I don't dare to show it because I'm afraid of being bullied by girls who are big fans of you.Also I know enough myself, where maybe a guy ngetop like you is interested in girls like me.Let's just like you in silence" Rianti leaned his head comfortably on Mahendra's shoulder.Rianti could feel Mahendra's heartbeat.

"Ah try that time you showed a signal, I will definitely shoot you first" There was a tone of regret in Mahendra's words.

"If there were a falling meteor, I would like to make a request.I want the time to be rotated back to our time in High School.I want to express my feelings and make you my heart's lover" Mahendra's face looked up to the sky.

"There was a meteor this afternoon" Rianti turned to face Mahendra.

"And if only" Mahendra pinched Rianti's nose.

"Now it's your turn, why did you get to like me first, there are many more beautiful and popular than me at that time."

"That's exactly, I prefer the damned like you.Especially that time you were always the star of the school, every race must be you who was chosen to represent the school.When others are busy and and to get a boyfriend, every time you have a competition,you are busy learning.Secretly I admire you, over time the sense of awe turned into a sense of like."

They laugh at school.

"Dad, mom,grandma,Elara...Hendra brought Rianti back to this house.Hendra will propose to Rianti at this time in front of all of you" Mahendra clasped the hand of Rianti sitting next to him.Then he pulled out the ring he had prepared.

Bu Widya was about to run away when she found out Mahendra had taken Rianti but was detained by her husband."Please appreciate them dear" Ms. Widya had to sit next to Mr. Heriawan again even though her face was lifted up because of her arrogance.

"We must all support you Hendra" said Mr. Heriawan as he glanced at his wife sitting next to him.

"Well, you idiot kid, he's not my son, it looks like he was switched at the hospital, you idiot!" Widya's grouse in her heart, her eyes glanced resentfully at Mahendra.

"Grandmother is happy to hear, eventually you will get married too.The wedding party must be celebrated in a big celebration" Grandma looks enthusiastic.

Rianti was embarrassed and shy, especially when Widya always looked at him cynically.

"Well.sister Hendra is romantic!" Elara clapped as Mahendra pinned Rianti's ring.

"It means just to determine the date of the wedding, hopefully everything is smooth!" Grandma's words were welcomed by Aamiin by everyone except Widya's mother.

Elara approached Rianti and noticed the ring Mahendra had pinned after Rianti.

"Wow..this is an expensive diamond ring!!! The price is billions of dollars .Exactly like the ring given by Prince Hary when engaged to Meghan Markle.Widiih.kak Hendra rich love dead nih same brother Rianti" Shouted Elara makes Rianti shocked to hear the price, let alone Widya ma'am.

Bu Widya pretended to be careless but secretly her eyes glanced at Rianti's fingers.

"What's El?" Rianti stared in disbelief at Elara.

"If you don't believe it, you can't see it on google" Elara opened the google site on her phone, looking for a ring like the one Rianti was wearing.

"Kis right" Appoint Elara, Rianti's eyes are wide in shock.

"Nothing expensive for the future wife, wait for the married wife who takes care of the husband, gives birth and takes care of the children.It is not worth the devotion and sacrifice compared to the price of the ring" Grandma's words successfully made Bu Widya overheated quickly she passed the room.

"Oh my God...! Pekik bu Widya.What special he.Look at me will not stay silent."

***

The next day, "Where was the ring Hendra gave you yesterday!' Bu Widya raised her hand as soon as Rianti arrived at the cafe, where she invited Rianti to meet.

"Tante Widya, I'm sorry I'm not lazy to fight.But this is Mahendra's ring to propose to me.So I am not obliged to hand it to aunty, this is my right" replied Rianti slowly but firmly.

"Oh so you've dared to fight me? Open it now! Or I'll take it from your finger!" Snapped by Widya with bulging eyes.

With Rianti forced to remove the ring and hand it to Widya's mother.Karna voices Widya who snapped, people began to notice them.

"Don't tell Mahendra, if he asks where the ring says you keep it.You don't deserve this ring.Widows like you fit it with imitation gold" Bu Widya snorted annoyedly.

Rianti felt the heartache of Widya's mother continuing to bring up her widow's status but she had to endure for Mahendra's sake.

"One more thing, until death I never bless you with my son.If you were to get married, that's because I was forced.Some the same Mahendra do not have to use parties,akad alone is enough.Are you not embarrassed, ajanda just wear on the display in front of guests.I imagine it, I'm already embarrassed.Uuuh.I've been going crazy see your face.Quick you go there!" Ms. Widya downed her cold drink, the throat felt dry because of the nagging.

Rianti walked out of the cafe with his steps down, his chest felt tight, his tears that had been held back finally came out as well.
