I stood in front of the mirror looking at myself. Wearing a knee-length navy dress. I bought this dress in an online store two days ago. Fortunately it was built. Be grateful for people who have an ideal body, it is not difficult to find clothes like I used to.
Since my body shrank, my clothes are not much, especially when in the village first. You can imagine, right, how far Grandma's house goes inside? Especially the market is far away.
When in the village I only wear old clothes, still wear clothes that are twice the size of my body now. Plus Meka with a fad like to pull my clothes, damn if you remember, my clothes are too big plus stretch again.
After being in this city, I have not had time to shop and explore the mall because Mama's hands are still wrapped.
"Done," I said, watching the lips I had just polished with pink lipstick. Mama gave me a set of makeup tools as a gift for entering High School. Honestly, I'm actually not good at dressing up, than that thing I would rather buy a comic package.
The sound of knocking on the door made me look. Stopped my temporary admiration for myself.
"Non, I've been waiting downstairs."
"Yes, Bi. Dorin came down immediately" I replied as I picked up the small bag on the bed and immediately went down.
Upon arriving below, my steps stopped at the last step of the stairs because I was surprised to find a neighbor next door in my house. "The casino?" muttered. We looked at each other. It could be said that I was a little fascinated by him because he looked handsome with his stylish clothes. Wearing matching suits and pants. With plain t-shirts inside. Also, wear sneakers. To me, her appearance looks like a Korean oppa-oppa.
"Vino is also coming with us, pitying her alone at home," Mama said making me look away while giving a 'why?' look?'. It's a family dinner, why should she come? batin asked. Mom stepped close to me. "Why see Vino all that?" mama's tease makes me cluck and nudge her healthy arms.
Today Mama is beautiful hundreds of times more than usual, she is wearing a bright red dress without arms. With the hair buned high back, leaving a slight unravel on one side is made into a spiral. Looks like Mama went to the salon while I was sleeping. No way, right, Mama can tidy her hair using only one healthy hand?
"Come on, Dorin, Vino." Mama had already stepped up first leaving me with a tall man standing not far in front of me.
Vino still didn't let go of him from me. Then his eyes shifted down. "How's your knee?" asked Vino stepped closer and it made me realize, remembering the dream.
"Su-it's better!" I rattled quickly and shifted myself backwards, putting some distance between us. Vino scrunched up the eel, sneaking out from seeing my over-reaction.
We both caught up with Mom in the back. Arriving outside, I saw Mama already occupying the front seat beside Papa. I think Papa can still drive at night if the distance is not far.
"Please."
I looked in wonder as Vino opened the door for me. Today he was acting like a real man, yes, I mean his actions in school also surprised me. "Thank you" I said slowly after it came in.
I close my body to the glass, I don't know why my chest feels like it's pounding sitting next to it.
Mama cleared her throat.
"What the hell, Ma!" my protest when Mama glanced at me while smiling on the windshield. My mom started teasing me again.
Are you uncomfortable with my family?
I glanced at my short-lived phone. Incoming messages. I looked to the side. Where'd he get my number?
One more message came in.
If you feel uncomfortable, I can make other reasons not to go.
''Wait!'' My reflexes held the boy's hand, thankfully he hadn't called my mama.
You want me to get scolded by mom after that? reply again send a message.
"When it's close, why do you have to chat, anyway?" mama said after that followed by a small laugh.
"Yes, you know, Papa was quiet. Difficult to talk to," continued Mama began to tell how the love story. You could say Papa was Mama's last boyfriend until that status changed to husband.
"What about Vino? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Mama what the hell, asking like that? But I'm a little curious, too. Could be, right, she has a boyfriend, but not a boyfriend?
The guy shakes a smile.
"Then, is there someone Vino likes?" asked Mama who was looking at me. It sucks! My mom started teasing me again.
Vino again carved a smile on his lips and replied, "There, Tan."
I don't know why that short answer left my heart a little torn apart. In my mind thinking, what kind of girl does Vino like? Is that Ela? That word just came to my brain.
You idiot! pekikku in my heart. I didn't want to think about it anymore and chose to look out the window, watching the car going in the opposite direction, on the other side of the road.
Not long before we arrived at our destination. And waiting in the loby when Papa parked his car.
"Come," exclaimed Papa and Mama also wrapped her hands in the arms of her beloved husband. At the entrance was already a servant who welcomed and guided the path ahead.
I glanced at Vino at a glance and then quickly followed my parents from behind. I need to stop thinking strange things. Where could the guy possibly be holding hands ...
This place is so romantic. My steps stopped, my eyes glancing around. We are currently in the park where the surrounding area is given heart-shaped flickering lights. In front lay a straight red carpet that led to the food banquet table. There were a few servants waiting there. Also, a man in a black suit was holding a violin in his hand.
"Thank you, this is so beautiful." Mama's eyes glazed over while hugging her husband, after which they kissed briefly in front of her child. Oh, that makes me jealous.
Okay, I want a guy like Papa! I still hope in my heart.
"Wait, is this your wedding anniversary?"
"Lo don't know?" The words just now made me look briefly at the guy.
"Sorry, Ma-Pa. Dorin forgot. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary." I hugged them both. After taking off the hug, Mama invited Vino to come with us to the place that had been prepared.
There's no one. The visitors were only the four of us, it seems like Papa has prepared this special place for Mama.
"Mora!"
I looked back when I heard the voice of a woman calling my mother.
"Are we late?" ask the woman while tucking her long black hair behind her ears.
My eyes opened wide when I found a guy I knew, standing next to a woman my age.
"Rome?"
"Oh, you guys know each other?" asked Mama and the woman in unison.
