BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL

55. Actually Applicable

"Son Ken, is this all for a proposal?" Papa who had moved between the two of us whispered to Ken.

"yes om. Sorry to be so excited. Since yesterday the mother's family forced, because the original mother Betawi, if my father is a mixture of Thai Indonesia, but already the taste of native Indonesians, if my father is Indonesian, for the problem of language and understanding of custom alone even my mother lost her knowledge." Ken whispered back. "From the beginning his mother and brother were eager to hold a wedding with Ada Betawi, but in my family I was the only boy. So they can just vent now."

"It's okay, Ken. We were just surprised, kirain who came only nuclear family." said papa. "Hopefully we can treat you well. Understand, our family is simple, maybe it'll be different from Ken's son."

"Is this a proposal or a wedding?" chirps mbak Gita. "If a proposal like this, about marriage later how would it be?"

The furore that Ken was worried about turned out to be true as well. When the group was in front of our house, suddenly there was the sound of firecrackers being deliberately burned by the group. Me and my family can only be confused. The more neighbors came out, everyone wanted to see firecrackers and ondel-ondel.

"That's Ra, it's a good thing that mama has plenty to eat, if we can't be ashamed." It was my mother's turn to whisper to me.

"The time of the great candidate comes only with the dish bag."

"Yes ma. But mama's not worried about Ken's entourage."

"Actually it's a bit excessive, but because you're both happy, mama doesn't matter. All you're afraid of is that they're not happy in our humble home" said Mama.

"Yes yes ma. I want a wedding party." I whispered back.

"Maybe it's the rich, Ra. Oh, never mind, understand it. What matters is that you are comfortable. How was his mother, Ra? Is it okay? I'm worried, Ra. Look at the luxury cars lined up that make mama's guts squeak."

"Mama don't do that, Rara's afraid to follow."

"Don't Ra, you have to PD."

"It's not just Rara, ma. Mama too. If you're not comfortable, Rara won't."

"Yes Ra. We're all!"

Two emissaries immediately conveyed the purpose of his arrival, fortunately no one read the pantun because me and my family did not really understand the event in return for the pantun, he said, papa and his original mama West Java who have been wandering since they just got married.

After papa invited in, Ken's parents immediately advanced. With Ken's mother so warmly hugging me, we were like mother and son, clumsily hugging each other inside.

Exactly as Ken told that his mother was a simple woman but very modest. Even without getting familiar with me. The appearance is very simple, but it looks graceful and elegant.

"It turns out that the future daughter-in-law of the mother is very beautiful. Ken is in love. I hope his demeanor is much better than his face" said Ken's mother.

"Auntie is pretty too." I said.

"Call me. God willing, soon we'll be family." Ken's mother held my chin.

Again I was amazed by the attitude of his humble mother, as well as his two brothers Ken and his other brothers. Without awkward they joined my family, even though our social strata are much different. They all looked familiar, unlike people who were new to them.

"Alright, let us convey the purpose and purpose of coming here" said one of Ken's relatives, conveying their intentions here. "Please Ken, tell the family what Ken wants to say."

Ken stood up, he was facing me who was sitting in his mama and mother's apit. Then Ken loudly said that he wanted to propose to me.

"Rara, we've known each other for the past five months, enough time to get to know each other. Now, allow me to propose to you. It has made you my port of life. Friends in the ocean of life. Become friends in the world until heaven. Mother to my children. The woman I love so much. Do you want to accept me, Ra?" ask Ken.

"Let's go, son, answer me." said everyone, while I was still tight-lipped because it permeated every word Ken had just said.

"Yes, I want to." I replied.

"When you get married now, how?" ask Ken again, spontaneously.

"Ken!" everyone shouted at Ken while shaking his head, while Ken grinned, even though he felt that what was revealed just now was serious.

I'm standing in front of his mom, Ken. He put a diamond ring on my ring finger. A very beautiful ring and fit in the hand.

After the application event, everyone is welcome to enjoy the dish while being friendly. While I chose to rush to the room to calm down after a series of events that made me stern.

"Rome!" exclaim my three best friends who immediately followed to the room.

"Geez Ra, the diamond!" said Aya, pulling my hand.

"Ra, it's really expensive. Hundreds too!" add Dini.

"Huh, why are you guys counting the price of Rara's engagement ring?" Risa shook her head to hear the words of her three friends.

"Sister Rara, called Ken!" Dinda looked up from the door.

"So Mr. Ken, why bother. We'll talk about Rara's ring first." said Dini.

On the porch of the house, Ken sat alone. He smiled as I came, but his smile was gone when he saw three of my best friends also following from behind.

"Kok bring the troops, the hell Ra." said Ken.

"Oh sir Ken, don't be so dong. It's not halal yet, so we have to keep our guard up!" said Risa.

"Yes, anyway also do not want anything." said Ken.

"Satan is everywhere, sir. In tandem, don't get the third demon!" said Risa.

"That's why his eyes were red?" ask Ken.

"Oh that, Rara nangisin mr. Ken!" He answered without being asked.

"My sangisin?" Ken frowned.

"Yes sir. Rara thought the father disappeared, because the father did not reply wa and did not answer Rara's phone. Plus last active dad's number yesterday. Maybe because Rara was afraid of losing her father!" clearly Early with the final conclusion as he pleased.

"Just boy. Not afraid of losing, but because I don't want you to be disappointed again for the second time "I replied, bowing my head.

"Astagfirullah, I'm sorry Ra. You must be scared, right? I was last online yesterday, Ra. You are at home with ideas like that. Mama's family insist there should be ondel-ondel, tanjidor, tambourine, firecrackers and others. Though I have explained that this is only the proposal stage.

I really can't lift Hp, Ra. Plus my heart is also stubborn. It feels cold hot, do not wait to quickly propose to you. Let alone holding Hp, sleep alone can not Ra. There is no sleepiness at all. I just want a quick day. But now even want to get married quickly" said Ken.

"Oh, so because of grogi tho. To the extent that Rara is crying, even though it has been dressed." said Aya.

"How now, sir?" ask Dini.

"Now deg-degan, can't wait to get married." replied Ken, making my cheeks blush with embarrassment.

"Duhhh, Mr. Ken and Rara are very romantic, anyway. So sweet, so want to quickly get a director as well." timpal Dini, so it makes us laugh. "Sir, if there is a father friend who is also a young director, know ya!" don't forget he ordered, while we were shaking our heads.
