Echoes In My Heart
Alka and Meta Marriage
A week passed, the day that Alka and Meta were waiting for had arrived. This morning they will hold their wedding ceremony at Meta's house and will continue the wedding reception at one of the five-star hotels in Bandung until tonight. Mr. Alex's house looks crowded, because his relatives have many who come to be the groomsmen. Alana also looks finished decorated, she wears a soft pink kebaya and gold-colored batik subordinates as well as the mother. They are more beautiful with a natural makeup polish but seem elegant. The father, wearing a black beskap increasingly adds a dashing impression on men who have been more than half a century old. And the bride, has prepared with a typical Sundanese wedding dress in white with a batik head covering. Then they will go to the house of the bride-to-be together with the attendants.
In Meta's house which from yesterday has been crowded with many people including brothers from his father and mother, as well as Meta's grandparents. Meta looks more beautiful when wearing a white wedding kebaya, very different when he wears a typical medical suit. All eyes were fascinated to see Meta's beauty that was much different than usual. The father also looks more handsome with black beskap and the mother wears a soft pink kebaya with batik subordinates. They were all preparing to welcome the bridegroom. The wedding will be held at 10 am, then the wedding reception starts at 1 pm until 8 pm.
Echoes who were still working could not attend the wedding event Alka and Meta, but he would later come at the reception with his mother. He had to finish his job first, even though he only worked half a day because it was Saturday. Actually Gema really want to watch the Alka and Meta marriage contract event in person, but there is an urgent work he had to finish the presentation material to one of the big companies in Bandung that will hold a tour trip and use his travel services. For that he can not delay the work, because tomorrow Mr. Asep must bring the material to his new client. His phone vibrated long while he was focusing on his laptop.
Drrrtt....
“Iya Al, what did you call? Not that soon the marriage contract began,” said Gema after knowing who called him.
“Hallo darling. Yes, this is just about to go. You're still in the office?” tanya Alana makes sure Gema is still in her office, she hopes Gema comes on her sister's marriage contract.
“Yes, I'm still in the office. Sorry yes, I could not come on his marriage contract mas Alka and mbak Meta,” said Gema trying to convince Alana not to wait for him. “I will definitely come to the reception event,” he continued.
“Iya already if so, I really hope you can come,” said Alana with a disappointed tone.
“Sorry dear, I have a sudden job today and must be finished because tomorrow the material must be brought by Mr. Asep. Again I'm sorry Alana.” Echo begged Alana's understanding back, indeed he had confirmed yesterday will come on marriage contract Alka and Meta but this morning Mr. Asep called that there is a presentation material that must be brought tomorrow to meet his client. And with a very forced Echo went to the office to finish it.
“It's okay. You're done completing your work. I'll wait later at the reception, don't forget to take Mom?”
“Iya darling. I'll finish my job. I'll take Mom later. Yes, you are careful. Hope the show is good. Send my apologies to Alka mas and all.”
“Iya I'll deliver later, bye dear.”
“Bye darling.” The echoes ended the phone call and soon came back to work.
Drrrtt... The echoing phone vibrated back.
“Good morning Mr Asep, how can I help Mr?” sapa Gema's.
“Gema, I just heard from Mr. Antok that his presentation was postponed next week because his son had an accident outside the city and he had to be there in a few days. I'm sorry I've been bothering you to come early in the morning and finish the material. You can go home and attend the wedding ceremony of Alka mas,”, said Mr. Asep on Gema who immediately changed the hue of the Echo's face from restless to excited again.
“Gosh, may his son Mr. Anton quickly recover yes sir. Well then, I'll go home sir. Thank you for the permission,” said Gema politely. He was very grateful to Mr. Asep who had given him permission to go home quickly at that time, because some time ago Gema was allowed to take a day off at the wedding of Alka and Meta.
“Yes, equally Echoes. We will meet at the reception. You be careful,” said Mr. Asep as he ended his call.
“Good Sir.” Echoes hang up the phone. He immediately stored the data on his laptop then tidied up his work desk and immediately went to the marriage contract event Alka and Meta.
Actually he intends to call Alana, but there is no time anymore he is afraid of being late. Luckily, he brought a batik shirt so he did not bother to go home to change clothes. He immediately grabbed his bag and said goodbye to his co-workers. He immediately drove his car to Meta's house which Alana sent yesterday via a short message.
Echoes of relief can attend the sacred event, because he rarely witnessed a moment that is so thrilling for all couples who will carry out the wedding. He repeatedly only attended the wedding reception of his friends and never once knew the event the pronunciation of ijab qabul. He drove his car at a moderate speed to get to Meta's house immediately.
Soon he had arrived in front of Meta's house which looked lined with luxury cars. He also saw Alana's car parked across the street, the sign Alana's family was already inside. He got out of his car and went into Meta's house. He greeted and shook hands with several people who were welcoming him in front of the entrance.
Alana was accompanying Meta to the qabul ijab table to sit next to Alka. Mr. Alex and Mr. Adi Lesmana are ready to marry off their children. When Echo went inside, Alana accidentally turned her head towards him, she widened her eyes not expecting Echoes to come on the show.
(Echo, you come, the mind).
