ELECTORAL MAN
Queen Ma'am

Her name is Queen Hanifa. People used to call her Queen Ma'am. The woman still looked very beautiful at the age of five. According to the information I heard, he was a former Mojang Bandung in the 80s.

He is quiet and doesn't talk much. Perhaps the first impression for the person who first saw it was jutek and arrogant. But the original is not. The Queen was very kind and considerate. Very caring and friendly with anyone.

Although included in the circle of being, the Queen Mother is also not arrogant. His appearance is ordinary. Never looked glamorous. His style of speech is also polite, never impressed high or pretentious. Including low profile.

Ms. Ratu has been teaching at SDN Melati for a long time. Previous mutation of Bandung. Her husband was an official in one of the SOEs. He has three children who are also adults.

Since the incident of decorating the room, the Queen and I have become closer. He who looks closed starts a lot of stories with me. Like now, he invited me to join his gymnastics studio. She also gave me many tips about make up and beauty.

Pupus is already the arrogant and jutek impression that I once caught from the Queen Mother. Duh, so shame on myself.

"Mr Ninis' mother-in-law and husband seem very kind and considerate huh? Yesterday afternoon, they were willing to wait until Mbak Ninis finished gymnastics." Said Queen Ma'am while sitting approaching towards me. That afternoon we just finished Zumba and Bu Ratu invited me to eat Meatballs Malang at his subscription meatball stall.

"Yes Mom. Thank goodness." Anwser me.

Yesterday afternoon, Mas Farid and Mama picked me up at the gymnastics venue. Mama asked to take a walk all dinner together. And they, indeed waited for me a bit long. Understandably at that time, the gymnastics studio was full and many visitors. I had to get in line to clean up and change clothes.

"Mbak Ninis is really lucky. May you always be happy, Mother!" The Queen was smiling but then her gaze looked bright.

I feel strange.

"Why is Queen?" my reflexes ask that. Suddenly the expression of the Queen Mother grew gloomy. The corner of her eyes was wet with tears.

"I'm just remembering myself. When I decided to get married, I was one hundred percent sure that the man who married me was truly the ideal man. He's kind, rich, smart, well-educated and pretty handsome."

"We married and lived happily. Honestly, it seemed like back then, I really became the happiest woman. Have an established husband, live with a lot of wealth, have a lot of money and can buy anything. Plus the presence of children who are funny, healthy and smart. You could say at that time, many were envious of me. Many praised how lucky I was." The Queen continued her story.

"I became ujub. Again feel that the happiness I achieved is the great favor of God that not everyone can feel. I feel special at once tacky. I consider marriage a guarantee for me to live happier."

"When SPG passed, there was a sewing customer of my mother who offered me to join the contest Mojang Bandung. At first I didn't care. But because it was forced to continue, I finally followed and escaped becoming a contestant. From there, opportunities came to my life. I was offered to be a photo model, a star in an ad, play a movie until the opportunity for a scholarship to continue college.

"I didn't waste a chance. Everything I took. I studied in the Diploma program majoring in Office Administration and Secretary. In between times, I also got an offer for a photo shoot. When I was interning at one of the SOE companies, that's where I met my husband. I was only 20 at the time, and my husband was 29."

"He fell in love the first time he saw me. Then, he approached me and then proposed. We got married too. He is very well established, already has his own house and car, his income is also very large. I thought at the time, marriage was the foothold for me to be able to live a good life. I don't have to work, I don't have to stress over my needs, my sisters' school needs, because there's something that guarantees my life."

"I quit college and focused on taking care of my kids at home. It was only after my children started school that I thought about going to college again. And finally I went to college in the teaching faculty. Everything seems so perfect. Marrying a rich and established man was really the opening path for me to live comfortably. And without me realizing it, that comfort made me arrogant and self-forgetful. I always wanted to be superior and not to be defeated."

"Until the end, God's rebuke comes. My home was destroyed by the tempest. My husband has another woman. I am angry. What was my lack all this time? I am more beautiful and attractive than that woman. I desperately tried to maintain the integrity of my household."

"Until the end, my husband admitted to having married Siri to the woman. And they've been married for three years!" The Queen's mother held her prank. Luckily the cafe wasn't too crowded that afternoon. Our sitting position in the corner is also quite hidden, so that no one hears."

"Sorry, why is Miss Queen not suing for divorce?" ask me.

"It's not that easy, Ma'am. To this day I am still strong enough to survive for my children. I kept my husband's marriage secret from my children. I don't want them to hate her father" replied the Queen Mother.

"I look friendly and happy in front of people just to keep my kids feeling. I'm not ready to tell them. Let this burden be my own. My husband is the same. His attitude was inconspicuous in front of the children. Still be fair and spoil them."

" Who is that woman, Mom?" I asked slowly.

" The woman is the sister of her officemate. Young, beautiful, and attractive. Her profession as a Professional Make Up Artist."

I'm entangling. Oh God, how sorry Queen. It turned out that the happiness he displayed outside was just a pretense. It was like the married life I was living. Duh Gusti, suddenly my chest feels tight. It turns out I'm not alone.

Seriate.
