FRIENDSHIPS 2

Episode 1's

Never underestimate the true meaning of love.

Because when that love comes, maybe he's the best for you.

The same victory he in a time that can not be said for a moment, making me never thought that this moment would actually happen in my life. The moment where my best friend, who recently rose to become my girlfriend, is currently rising again to become my future wife.

Yes, in front of this, there is my future wife. I know, her name is Ayudia. I used to call Ucha, Ugly, Asem, Ncip, and other absurd names.

I'm now really groggy—iyalah, who is not groggy in the middle of the gini application process. So groggy, I've done silly things that we will definitely not be able to forget.

That day I and Ayu again in Bali. Actually, I did not want to bed her at that time, but already have a super-romantic plan that I guarantee can make Ayu do not think twice again to find out his best friend's proposal.

The plan is, I'm going to bed him when we go diving. I'll sleep in the water, in the open like our favorite place, between the coral reefs and the beautiful fish.

Try dehlo shadowin, would be as romantic as this proposal? I'm pretty sure he'll be happy to the point that he won't come out of the water.

But, long story short, the plan turned out to be unworkable due to security constraints.

I need to rack my brain to keep the plan I have prepared before. In the afternoon, we went for a walk to the beach. As usual, with Ayu, the chatter must be a macem. About the life now lived and what our life plan is going forward, macem real people.

Each brolan itself has a great meaning for me. Through our conversations, I tried to convince myself that I was ready to ask him. I was ready to be born and inner to ask her to be my future wife, so my life companion, and she was the right woman for me.

On that day, my only hope was one. That he may be mine forever, until the end of my life.

But, yes, even though I've long been with him— from the age of wearing blue pants until now, still only the name will make the room groggy. I am nervous, nih— yes my body, my tone of voice, to my heart as well.

Though I know really, the answer must be ‘iya’. Very pede, huh? Haha.

“Cha, you want to be my wife?”

That's the question I asked him. When asked, he was clearly shocked. Well, he certainly didn't think that I would be looking for him right now, in his favorite place, and after six months we walked together with a feeling that was clearly more than just a friend.

And do not wait long, Ayu immediately replied, “Iya, To! I want! I want to marry you!” replied Ayu, which immediately made me relieved. So relieved! “Lo don't stay with me huh, To! I love you so much Lo!”

His answer clearly made me instantly cry. Yup! I have a future wife now, Bro! My own friend!

I immediately took out the ring box that I had been carrying all day in the bag, and immediately knelt in front of him while opening the ring box. Want to be romantic but I'm still groggy, don't dare to really look at him. Although at first glance I see, his face has been sparkling like people can windfall, hahaha. Crazy, less what am I? On the beach, the atmosphere of shahdu like this, in front of my friend since Junior High who will be my life friend this—gue kneeled while nyodorin application ring.

Asoy!

“To, the ring is back.”

Ayu protest made me realize that in the middle of this important moment, I was doing silly things. I just realized, if the ring box that I hold and sodorin to him, turned back.

Pardon, deh!

When he said that I just. “Lho, no ring?” I'm panicking. When I looked at the box I opened, the ring didn't really exist. Where's the ring?

"Yes, yes, nothing. The box was just back of it, To," Ayu replied.

I immediately realized and ngakak while turning the position of the box that I opened upside down earlier. Destroyed is already a romantic shadow that should happen in times like these. This incident actually makes my nervousness earlier produce silly things that make the aura awward around us disappear.

I didn't get to the ridiculousness I did. The box position is real, I just nyodorin just his ring to him. To the extent Ayu talks, “To, use kaliii. Ouch, who is friendly dong, same as his future wife.”

I nodded and finally put the ring on him. You could say today is the silliest day as well as being my happy day. I can sue my own friends to be my future wife.

I realize, this application will certainly not happen if I continue to be embarrassed and do not dare to express my feelings. In my opinion, courage based on love will surely produce good things. In this case, not only love in the context of between couples, but yes, to each other as well. The things you do really with sincere love, surely his happiness really reaches the heart.

***

Did I ever fantasize about marrying my own friend, this Ditto?

The answer is never at all.

I know Ditto from Junior High. From us together, continue to enter the same High School, study in another place and start busy with each other's lives … all that time I never imagined that I would end up with him.

We were in Bali— again for the umpteenth time I went to this island, we just took a walk all day. Talk about a lot of things, from important to not important at all.

Until we finally got to my favorite beach, which turned out to be Ditto's favorite beach as well. Nothing strange there. Ditto also looks very ordinary. We still chat as usual until Ditto suddenly talk, “Cha, you want to be my wife?”

There I was really shocked, speechless, just had a moment of silence so shocked. But what was more disturbing was when he opened the ring box but there was no contents.

Jesus, the box's back! Oh, my God, Ditto.

I could see he was a little groggy at the time, but I didn't expect him to make him not open the ring box properly, hahaha. That's it, the ring is playing disodorin aja. Not directly used. No, kids aren't really romantic, anyway!

“To, everywhere when sleeping, the ring is removed first, the place is lined, the ring is installed.”

We both laugh because of his behavior that makes this moment fail romantic. After the ring was finally put on, I could only worry about the ring. Speechless. It's natural, isn't it, my reaction is like this? Usually the person who is asked also his behavior is not much different from me.

I really don't know if he's going to bed me right now. No signs either, anyway.

Oh, maybe I forgot that. Because after I remembered there was one sign that he had shown.

A week ago he went to me, “Eh, Cha, buy gold where, yes?”

I foolishly didn't realize he was going to bed. Uh, that's it, he's just a place to buy gold. Not the tricks of applying to girls or how, reasonable dong if I do not ngeh, right? And I remember, I answered to Ditto. “Buy in block M only, To. You see if to sell again the price is still okay, good anyway, make an investment.”

“Serius lo? Not in mal?”

“Do not, if you buy in the mall later the price even drops.”

Ditto yes-yes at that time. And after that he never talked about buying gold again. Never talked about sleep or anything. Ditto actually managed to surprise me today. Grogi also fit he was bedridden earlier. We had a really long relationship, only been dating for six months, and she booked me here. In Bali. In my favorite place.

But the nervousness was immediately liquid because the plan of romantic snacking ala Ditto did not run smoothly. Yeah, that's the ring back. That's it, the ring is playing disodorin that way, not being used. Haha. From him, I finally knew that he was actually following my advice to buy the ring in Block M, managed by one of my friends. This proposal he said already he planned to be done in Bali, on our favorite island. He really had planned everything except for the change of place. Who was going to fit again diving, replaced so here.

For example, really so fit again diving, the ring box will go back also not, huh?

To, later if you want romantic-romantic again, lots of practice yes, let's not fail again, hahaha.

After the proposal, Ayu and I started preparing for our wedding. At times like this, things that are not important can be a noisy material between us. Yes, people say, our mental moments are tested, yes when we are preparing for our marriage.

Before we prepare for marriage, I already understand that the marriage of the child of the person must clearly be ready to be born and inner. Because I have to take full responsibility after our wedding. I will be the head of the family, the priest, and where my wife and children will rest.

My first step while preparing for that responsibility, started by meeting Ayu's parents. That is, when I was secretly asking for his son.

“Cha, when did you meet my same mother?” That's my next question, after the scene of Ayu's bedroom yesterday.

But apparently not. This boy with his leisure directly replied, “Besok yuk, To.”

Anjirs.

This child cannot be taken seriously from the first. Even though I have known his mother for years, I still do. Even joking again, immediately feel confident meeting tomorrow.

Uh, but it turns out he's seriously ngajakin “besok”, which I finally follow his words. Tomorrow, we meet Mom and Dad at Union PIM. I think in this place a lot of my history is the same Ayu from the past.

From the parking area, I was really deg-degan. Arriving in the middle of the road Ayu this several times encouraged me who like to stop or brake suddenly. Well, when we got to Union, it turned out that Mother was the same Father already there. He said, they had already arrived first to coincide with me and Ayu just arrived at the parking lot earlier.

The position of those who behind me makes me a little grateful, because they do not see directly my groggy face abis— already pale, but still grimness is not clear. After a few breaths so as not to groggy, I finally the same Ayu arrived in front of them.

As expected, the same mother was shocked when I saw that coming with Ayu it was me, sohibnya Ayu.

Since the beginning, Ayu has been telling if he wants to recognize his candidate to the same Mother Father. But Ayu didn't tell me who it was. Let's surprise, he said. Yes, who is not surprised if what Ayu brought was a little friend of Ayu who they had known for a long time.

“Halo, Mom, Sir,” say hello Ayu when we were still behind her parents. Because they were glued, Ayu and I immediately took a position to sit in front of Mother and Father.

They still worry about me and Ayu alternately. I'm still shocked to see me coming with Ayu.

“Dih, what the hell? How come it's the same Ditto?” Mom finally opened her voice.

Ayu also said, “Bu, this is the person I want to know. He invited me to marry.”

Mom flicked her hand in the air several times, a gesture that clearly said she still did not believe. While the Father only shook his head next to Mother. “Ah, what the fuck, you guys. No, no.” Mom's really confused. “What the hell, this?”

And Ayu, lightly just a casual laugh. “Lho, Mom, this is the person I told you I wanted to know to Mom and Dad. She's the one I married.”

“This is serious?” My mom doesn't really believe in us. “You guys, cement from SMP, marriage time?” I kept talking to you, Father. “Tuh, sir, si Ayu .. kirain want to bring who you know, so! Link bring the Ditto..”.

“Bu, I want to marry Ucha, Mom. Can not?” ask me at the end.

“Mother, from the first time you have felt like Ucha,” he said. The confusion that had appeared, seemed to begin to disappear. Maybe finally I can start to accept if it turns out that this child brought yes, his own best friend, hahaha. “But yes, I'm aja.”

I was just laughing when Mom said that. Mom can ah, have that feeling.

“Yes, if you are serious, we are very happy.” “So approved, Bu?” ask me.

“It is, restuin if you are mah, if the other Mother does not necessarily agree.”

I was just laughing when Mom said that. Emang anyway, this Ayu several times dating does not agree with her mother, hahaha. And finally, it was I who was in this position, asking for the blessing of Ayu's parents to marry him.

Cha, Cha, you used to never think anyway, if finally who asked for blessing to your parents it was I— your own best friend? Especially, since the first playgirl, hahaha. Many men in your life who may have the potential to be your partner in a marriage that you dream of, but eventually you become the same me, your friend from the age when.

***

The thought of going out with Ditto was like never before, let alone the thought of a moment like this actually happened. Moment pas Ditto asked for the blessing of Mother and Father to marry me. That never crossed my mind.

Moreover, the last new breakup was—before I was with Ditto, I tuh, it's been up to that desperate. In the past, I was careless, but to make this relationship I still want to be the same person who really loves. Now, so desperate, yes, who wants to who is up. Because I thought, I don't know why, I've never met anyone who could match me and my family. Until finally become friends like this.

In the beginning, the reaction of Mother is still like a denial that is, do not believe that the guy from the snot era to this big will be my future husband. All I know is that we were, yeah, friends. Bandmates, playmates.

“Then the hell, same friend? Weird, ah. Don't joke dong, you guys.”

Geez, have you come together gini said kidding anyway, Mom?

When we finally talked about marriage, I said gini, “But yes, I already feel you are the same Ditto. When you were in school, I looked like this child liked it even though it was not appointed.”

At first, Mom was still, shocked to know I wanted to marry Ditto. Because he was in shock, so he reacted like a non-believer. That's why up to her, ‘Masa, anyway? Masa, anyway?’.

Thankful that I finally accepted this reality, hahaha. After that, we certainly talked about important things related to marriage, talking about when my parents and Ditto's parents met to talk about the next things.

The meeting that day was quite exciting and full of laughter because I still like not to believe that, if the one facing him to ask for the blessing of the Ditto. Ditto who had been groggy abis, finally over time was able to relax and grin with relaxation.

Not only Mother, my brother also followed amused fitting know about me the same Ditto. “You used to run around together, reminisce with, uh, now even want to marry,” he said.

Well, not only my brothers who do not believe, my friends and others who know us can also be said to believe not believe as well. I'm the same Ditto has been long, since the meeting people said that we were dating and we were both compact answer ‘nggak’, until finally we have a partner each.

Uh, but in the end, it's the same Ditto as well.

Until then they see our chemistry, then they say, “Oh, yes, yes.”

They just believe that I'm finally yes, same Ditto. Although in fact we also sometimes still like not to believe anyway, if we were the legal department even now want to marry.

***

Finally my parents and Ayu's parents met to discuss our marriage.

The mothers chatted as soon as they met. What else is said besides their distrust of the relationship I and Ayu are growing very rapidly.

“Mbak, this is it, Ditto so want to be with Ayu, anyway? What the hell, these two kids?” said Ayu's mother while shaking her head.

Call me casually say, “Iya nih, Ma'am, I don't know either. But Ditto always seemed to like Ucha.”

“What the hell, Mom, does her mom know where?” is from ask me who does not believe in my words at all.

In the middle of the conversation, Ayu was not impressed at all. But, if you see the reaction, Ayu is silent who messes up. Leah, Ncip. Happy, yes, want to marry your friend?

The mother-mother conversation continued. The conversation leads to nostalgia. Mostly talking about my school days with Ayu first. How we used to prefer to play and other things that are more exciting than just learning. Until finally I said, “Udah, already, seriously, nih. The wedding will be a joke, you know. Yes, Ms. Susi, Ms. Ita, I'm the same Ayu wants permission to get married. I want to apply officially on July 25, 2015. What do you think?”

“Ya, if Mother anyway, it's up to you,” replied Ayu's mother.

“But you, the real one first, the serious one, prepare everything maturely.” Who said this certainly nyokap me, making sure his favorite son is a man in charge. Cool to catch me. Hehe.

“Ya, July 25th. To marry her, speaking on that date only yes, Mom,” I said.

After all agreed about the application date, nyokap finally said, “Ditto used to be the same Ayu deket really, but I did not expect you, Ma'am, now they want to marry gini.”

Ibu Ayu also said, “Mother, from the first feeling, this child should not be the same Ayu, nih. You see, really, just right, they're friends, yeah. But yes, feeling Mom time, yes.”

“Mother mah, anything in-feeling-in.” Ayu finally answered her mother's words. From then on, the child just kept quiet. Grogi what are the times, in the meeting of two families like this. Don't understand, I.

Finally, after chatting with everyone, more talk about how they all did not know anyway, I and Ayu will marry, hahaha—date application was fixed. For the wedding date, both parties will be discussed at the application event later.

Finally, Cha, I don't have to come to your application show and other guys with the status of just your friends. Who would have thought if I came to your application as a person who wants to apply to be my wife, in front of our family?
