Echoes In My Heart
Engagement Plan
After work Alka and Alana stopped by Cafe O, their cafe subscription that has an interesting design. The room in the cafe is similar to a garden, filled with small lights and flowers planted in small pots that can add a romantic atmosphere to its visitors. Before heading home Alka's office called Meta for dinner together. Alana also called the waiter at home not to prepare dinner because they were going to eat out. Alka was ordering 3 cups of cappuccino and some food for the three of them at the mini bar in the cafe. It was seen that Meta was approaching Alana who was sitting alone at table number 20 according to Alka's direction on the phone.
“Hai Alana, how are you?” greeting Meta while hugging Alana because only this time he met with Alana after returning from abroad.
“Hai Kak Meta, I'm good Sis. Brother how are you?” Alana returned Meta's embrace, it felt like she was happy to have a sister-in-law as good and beautiful as Meta.
“I'm good too. How does it feel to have graduated from college and immediately become a career woman?” ask Meta.
“Hahaha, also relieved Kak, I finally graduated, and can directly help Papa and Kak Alka in the factory. Kak Meta job smoothly?” ask Alana back while waiting for their order.
“So far Al smoothly. Impressive to be a doctor Al, every day I can treat children who are in need of help. I'm proud after seeing their happy faces after healing”. Meta is a pediatrician at a private hospital in Bandung whose owner is none other than his own grandfather. But now managed by his father because the grandfather has retired and wants to enjoy his old age with his grandmother.
“Hai dear, you have been from earlier?” alka said while hugging her lover.
“Hai dear, I just nyampek kok” replied Meta stood up while replying to Alka's embrace.
“Ehemmm” Alana cleared her throat seeing her sister and future sister-in-law cuddle up. “Please yes if you want to be friendly not in front of small children dong, I envy nih” said Alana with a sullen look. Instantly Alka and Meta took off their hugs and laughed at Alana's behavior.
“Hahaha, so be cool looking for a girlfriend so you can be friendly” said Alka while ruffling Alana's hair.
“Nyari girlfriend tuh not as easy as Kak” coffee pesen sahut Alana while tidying her hair. Alka and Meta returned to their seats. They sat next to each other, so Alana felt like a mosquito repellent for both of them.
“Hahaha, yes also Al” Meta replied with a smile. “I used to meet Alka is also not that easy, many things we have been through before we were with” added Meta.
“Mean now I am so grateful to meet you dear. It's beautiful, kind, sweet, understanding. Same understanding children let alone the same I” praise Alka who makes Meta cheeks so red blushing.
“I am also very grateful to meet you” reply Meta.
“Uhhhhh very hot yes here. Look at the intimacy you both want to go home tau. My fragile self is like a mosquito repellent in this romantic place” said Alana wagging her hands like a person who is hot. Again Alana's speech made Alka and Meta immediately laugh. Soon their order was served, and they immediately ate the dish while occasionally joking. Moreover, Alka who relentlessly teased Alana until many times Alana cursed in her heart.
“Oh yes Al, after Papa and Mama come home later Brother and Kak Meta plan to hold an engagement. Is it baby?” said Alka who got the nod from Meta.
“Yes, I agree with your plans. Faster is better, but have you talked to Papa and Mama?” Alana was pleased with her sister's seriousness plan for a woman who is now her lover.
“Kakak already had time to talk to Papa and Mama, and have talked to Papa and Mama Meta as well. But for the day still not decided yesterday. Papa and Mama agree, Papa and Mama Meta also agreed. Later we just call the date, how about before our departure to Jogja?” alka.
“Marriage is as easy as drinking a sip of this coffee what, Al? There are only these children” replied Alka bobbing head.
“We were engaged first, after a vacation from Jogja new nyiapin wedding plan” said Meta who got approval from Alka.
“Alright it is up to you guys if I can only help and pray so that your event smoothly” said Alana later.
“Aamiin” says Alka and Meta together. “Oh yes Alka, am I coming to Jogja next week?” meta asked because he had not asked permission from his father who also served as director at the hospital where he worked.
