EL NATH (Glorious Regrets)
Chapter 34 The week leading up to the wedding

Nath whistled into the front door of his house. He walked leisurely as he threw the ring box into the air and caught it again.

"His joy is in the heart, the rest of you want kaw*in. Oh like the world, he's got."

Nath's footsteps stopped when a handsome human was lying on the sofa in front of the tv singing insinuating him.

Nath approached and dropped down next to the man who was a former best friend who brazenly dared to propose to his brother.

"Paternity father, all the stuff. Graped bini, huh?" ejek Nath's.

"Wih.. wih... wih... wedding ring, mas bro!" Instead of responding, Rion instead took a sitting position and was about to snatch the ring box that Nath was holding.

Nath dodged and kept the ring box out of the reach of his rival's brother-in-law. "Eeiith. no hold-hold, Yon."

"Look, Nath! Very ticklish." Nath raised his hand high as Rion continued to aim for the ring city.

But in vain because the Star came and immediately grabbed the small jewelry box.

"See dong!" Bi sat on the sofa and slowly opened the ring box. "Waah is expensive," he exclaimed in amazement at the sight of Nath and Tiara's simple ring of choice.

The curious Rion immediately moved next to his wife. "No diamonds, Nath?"

Nath leaned back on the sofa and stared as deeply as the husband and wife. "Tiara doesn't want to. That's his choice, too."

"Aren't you coming, Nath?" ask Stars.

"I'm up to him, brother. I don't really understand this. What matters is that the size fits the model is not strange.

"Nath. It's done?" tanya Akhtar who just came out of his study with Lintang. They sat on the sofa.

"Udah, Pa."

"There's a Bi here, someone wants you to discuss." The star and Nath looked at Akhtar.

"Costs in area X. There's about 20 units, Nath." Nath waited for Akhtar to continue his sentence.

"From now on, the rent will be given to you during the time limit that has not been determined."

Nath looked at Akhtar and Lintang in agony, he was surprised when his papa said that.

"You will get married and have to finance Tiara, finance the needs of both of you. Because after this papa won't give you any more pocket money."

"Tuition fees are still my responsibility until you graduate."

Nath is confused. He was just afraid, Akhtar considered favoritism. "What else got, Pa? Nath doesn't want to be considered a golden boy..."

"We're not a problem, Nath. Brother's husband is over this." Rion hugged the belly of the Star. "Zoya is well established from birth. Huhuh." Bi laughs. "Nair, he understands papa's purpose. He also agreed, no one objected to papa and mama's decision."

"Nath's plan is to go to college"

"Can't Nath. You should focus on college. You are studying at State University. So you can't play around with Nath."

"But, Pa."

"Nath Mouthed! Mom and dad just want to do what's best for you."

Nath smiled broadly. He hugged his parents with unstoppable tears. It's up to him to be ridiculed by Bintang and Rion. He just wants to shed the happiness and joy that he feels.

"Thank you, Pa. Papa sacrificed a lot for Nath. Thank you for forgiving my mistake. Sorry I can't make you proud. I'm sorry I haven't been able to make Mama and Papa happy." Nath breaks down the hug after a few minutes.

"Nath promise, Pa, Ma. It's gonna turn into a better Nath. Nath will try not to disappoint mom and dad again."

Week before the wedding ....

"This is all, brother?" nath asked Zoya who was holding baby Zi like a kangaroo. They are at Zoya's house, taking Tiara's belongings that have been brought from the old house to the new house.

Tiara's clothes were still intact in the suitcase. Because after the tragedy that led to their wedding plans, Tiara did not move to a new house and her belongings were not taken out of the suitcase.

Nath closed the car door after stuffing Tiara's suitcase. Tiara instead of helping, she keeps peeking at the sleepless baby Zi in Zoya's arms.

"Wink again, dear dong," Tiara pinta on baby Zi. She laughed whenever baby Zi blinked her eyes and occasionally opened her mouth and twitched her tongue.

"Hahaha.it's so funny cih kamuuu." Tiara excited herself to make Zoya laugh. Nath could only shake his head slowly at Tiara's behavior.

"That handsome baby aunt... Hurry up yeah, let's get aunty fat." Tiara waved her hand before getting into the car.

They're heading for Akhtar's house. "Why rush to move, Bang?"

"You don't know mama. Mama kept talking if not done immediately."

Yes, during the baby Zi wedding, Zoya tells Lintang that the Tiara is here and has not been moved to the closet. Zoya also said not to work twice when moving in her mother's house later.

Since then, Lintang has been busy preparing rooms for Nath and Tiara as Nath and Nair have been sleeping together. Nath chose one room downstairs. Because on the second floor there is a Star room, Zoya and Nair.

They did not want to dismantle and make one of the rooms for Nath and Tiara. The reason was that Bi and Zoya would occasionally stay there.

Lintang bought new furniture to fill the room. Not too broad, the important thing is there is a bathroom in it.

Nath opened the door to the white room. The bed and the closet are all white. The walls are white too. The room looks clean and tidy.

Nath scratches the suitcase and Tiara comes in. He looks around. The room is twice as big as the room at home.

"Your clothes are stacked there, Ti." point Nath at the four-door cabinet that is more than two meters high.

Tiara opened the door of the large closet. "A brother's clothes are here?" tiara asked when she saw that half of the closet was filled with Nath's clothes.

"Yes, my mom moved yesterday." Nath sat down on the bed and started taking his laptop out of the bag. It was indeed inviting Tiara after returning home from campus.

Tiara put her clothes in one by one. Still folded neatly because the aunt who worked at Zoya's house arranged it well. "Who picked the color, Bang?"

"I, but my mother chose furniture" he replied without looking. Because at this time he had to finish the design of a cafe.

Tiara put the makeup pouch and some beauty products on the dressing table. "Done."

Tiara sat cross-legged on the bed, near Nath. "Dude."

"Hum..." Nath looked at Tiara at a glance.

"Dad said, Tia has to stay in college." Nath looked directly at Tiara. He waited for Tiara to continue her words.

"Because I'm afraid this marriage won't be long." Nath knitted his brows. "Whoever thinks that, Bang. We marry because...." Tiara did not continue her sentence.

"So if one day that happens, Tia seems to have the education to be able to continue living and looking for a job."

"But I told Tiara to ask permission from Brother." Tiara looked at Nath. "Because after marriage Tia's responsibility is not the responsibility of the father anymore."

"But about the cost, I'm going to do it, Bang."

Nath thought of every Tiara's words. That girl has a point. If at any time that unwanted thing happens, at least Tiara has no trouble finding a job. Because he has a college education.

"I don't mind, Ti. Just so you can live it."

"I don't want to, because of this problem you can't achieve your dreams."

"I will not forbid you. And I can't promise anything. But I wish this marriage was once in my life."

Tiara smiled happily. Finally he can realize the desire of his father who fought hard so that he had an education on the bench of college.

"Thank you, Bang." Tiara unconsciously hugged Nath. Makes Nath shocked at his treatment.

"Thank you." Nath hugged Tiara's back. "Ti-sama, Ti."

"It's true, Nath!" the scream of a woman sounded from the direction of the open door. Making Nath and Tiara distance each other's bodies.
