Candra Kirana
Wedding Ahead

Deep down, Kiran was relieved that she was no longer in touch with Bambang mas. But instead, Kiran is confronted with another psychic-paranormal at her mother's request. He is also required to move around at night to avoid Candra visits.

Kiran is getting tired of being handled by many people, also tired of having to move from one place to another for the past three weeks. More tired when he knew that all his mother's efforts turned out to be useless. Candra can still find herself. In fact, Kiran has been hidden and fenced with a magical protective sheath.

Kiran and Candra's relationship further complicated her mother by presenting the Word every day. Kiran is fed up with her mother's solution, nauseated by the arrival of the timeless Word.

Until finally Kiran chose to close herself, aloof. Kiran refuses to communicate with her parents anymore. Kiran's time is spent only in the room where she is held, in an invisible prison, in another room or in her own room which begins to feel lonely.

Kiran muffled her sadness by writing, filling the diary with the same story. The story that tells the beginning of his meeting with Candra, to his love that rained blue as deep as the Mariana Trench.

Furthermore, for daily meals Kiran had to be forced. His slender body contained started to be thin dry. Vitamins, herbs, medicine doctor and good food given by his mother as if it could not help the appetite Kiran lost somewhere.

Kiran grew quiet, not protesting or arguing over her mother anymore. His marriage to the Word was arranged carefully by their respective families. Kiran can only give up her life as if without life.

How not? Word will be her husband in two days. Kiran will not stay one more province with her ghost lover. After marriage, Kiran was required to follow the Word to another city by her mother.

Kiran feels wasted, her loving mother turns out to be completely indifferent to her feelings. Not only did Kiran marry off with a fork, her mother also wanted Kiran to leave the house immediately. Maybe her mother was embarrassed because Kiran was dating a ghost.

“Kiran .. I want to talk!” Kiran's father knocked on the door slowly.

Kiran's room was never locked again, so her parents could enter at any time to see her daughter's condition.

“You haven't eaten from yesterday, Kiran!” Kiran's father's voice was like the wind, blowing and just disappearing. There was no response from Kiran.

The breakfast Kiran's mother had placed on the table was still intact, there were no signs of being touched let alone eaten. The sight every day that made Kiran's father full and also cried inwardly.

Kiran who was cheerful and talkative had changed completely. Being quiet and indifferent with his surroundings. The sweet face that was always smiling now also withered lethargic, haggard because it harbored longing.

Kiran's father understood that her daughter was very depressed. Some smart people even say that Kiran's soul is no longer in his body. The pain of love experienced by Kiran has entered the acute phase. Kiran is difficult to handle because the girl refuses to recover, refusing to forget her ghost lover.

The middle-aged man was not sure Kiran's marriage would be a cure and could bring happiness to his daughter. Seen from the Kiran gelagat who still does not want to respond to the presence of her future husband even though the wedding day is very close.

Previously, the young man's proposal was also not responded to at all, Kiran did not even want to wear the ring that the Word gave as an engagement bond.

Kiran was not interested in the expensive white ring engraved with the name of the Word. He prefers the red ring of Candra. The ring that never escaped from his ring finger since the mystical night in the paddle belongs to Ki Dalang.

“Kiran ... eat a little yes, Nak!” Kiran's father took the rice and fed a spoon into Kiran's mouth. The daughter responded with a quick glance, then lowered her head again, continuing to write a diary.

Kiran no longer raised her face even though her father repeatedly called her name and also spoke. Kiran focused on her writing. In sentences that express how much he misses the lover. How much love tormented his heart, how he did not want to part from Candra.

“Where is the house of Subarkah sir, Nak?” ask Kiran's father. In the end, the middle-aged man couldn't bear to not meet up and look for a solution on the caretaker.

“Demit village, south slope of the mountain!” kiran replied softly, still without lifting her face. “Do you want to go there?”

“Yes, I want to talk to Candra's father!” The father rubbed Kiran's head with mixed feelings.

Kiran stared for a moment at her father's face, then moved to hug. Before long Kiran's tears spilled, a sedu sedan of pain rang out painfully in her father's ears, heart-wrenching and stoning the ego of the man who loved his only daughter dearly.

That long enough hug finally unraveled, Kiran let go of her father with a hint of excitement. Although he did not know the intention of his father to go to see Mr. Subarkah, but Kiran felt that he would get a bright spot in his life that was no longer passionate.

“Bapak go where tumben ask for money rather much?” ask Kiran's mother suspiciously. Kiran's father was neat when he met her in the kitchen.

“I want to go to demit village!”

“Bapak want to meet the caretaker who used to be here? Make what? Kiran's marriage had nothing to do with the pigeon! Don't make trouble on Kiran's happy day, sir!”

“Kiran is not happy with his wedding plans, Mom! You don't pity your child's increasingly apprehensive condition?”

“Sir, I am his mother, I know what my son is going through! I married Kiran to let her be happy, healed of her heart wound by the presence of a husband. I'm sure Kiran must have forgotten about mediating it after getting the full attention of the Word. Moreover, they live outside the city, Kiran will be busy with her household, busy shopping, to salons, ranches and other female activities.”

Kiran's mother smiled happily, “Not to mention plus busy dealing with their coffee business .. essentially Kiran will be preoccupied with her husband's abundant money. You know, money and busyness are medicine! Those two things will divert Kiran's world! Who provides those two things? Word, Sir! I am very sure Kiran will fall in love with her husband after being spoiled with treasure.”

Kiran's father snorted lazily, his wife's theory considered too perfect. “If you are his mother, you should know Kiran well. He would die of suffering if this marriage continued!”

In a cold voice, Kiran's mother responded, “There's no time to cancel! The marriage that the Word has given us has been received. The costs that come out to prepare for this are also not small. Can you return all the money that has entered us? I'm retired, our grocery store is also not how much income, what to use to pay compensation if Kiran's wedding is canceled, sir?”

“If you are not materialistic it will not be like this! You are too glared with Word money to ignore Kiran's feelings!” snapped Kiran's father disappointed.

Kiran's mother did not want to lose, her voice sounded tight when she said, “Bapak already calculated how much we have spent to cure Kiran? The number is not small, sir! Our debt in many cooperatives, already nyekik neck! If I don't marry Kiran to Firman, who will pay off those debts later?”

“I'm leaving now,” said Kiran's father annoyed. Stop the endless debate if it continues. Money is the most sensitive material when it comes to women. Especially his wife.
