Guardians of the Heart #2
Chapter 26
After that day both of our parents were busy with our wedding preparations who knew when it was. Papah really renovated the upper floor, Mamah who is passionate about choosing furniture even though she entrusted it to me for her interior design business considering that is my place.
Mother is no less excited by starting to look for the latest food menus and looking for a good catering reference, as well as kebaya models. While Dad is busy remembering who will be invited later, let no one be missed he said.
Me and the Lieutenant once said that our marriage wanted a little, and knew the response of our parents? Yeaup! They protested immediately.
“You are the only daughter of the Father, so it can not be like that,” protest Dad who immediately can say no less long than Mother. While the parents of the Lieutenant should not be asked again, he is the son of mere puppets so you can imagine how protested they both when they heard us say that. And finally we can only leave.
“Already, it is up to them that it is important they are happy, just think of it as our devotion to them before releasing the single period,” said the Lieutenant with a smile looking at me who can only sigh, but I finally agree with what he said.
“But we ourselves also do not know when to marry, they have been frenzied from now.”
“The answer is with you, if you say ok we can get married tomorrow.”
“Ckk.. Mas Yudha has not yet applied to me officially.”
“Where do I want to bed you, if you only still doubt until now.”
I was silent to hear that because I still doubt that even though I can take back the Lieutenant but the thought of marrying him and spending the rest of my life with him makes me think again. Can I do it? Am I up to it? Is he the best for me? Am I the best for him? A thousand and one questions come back whack every time I think about marriage.
“Mas Yudha will not leave me because I doubt continue.” I leaned on his shoulder while embracing his arm.
“If you want to leave mah from yesterday-yesterday only time, Key, when you are still ferociously not now,” he said as he plunged his head into my head slowly making me giggle.
“Mas Yudha needs to know I am not in doubt with Mas Yudha, but I doubt myself, am I capable of being the wife that Mas Yudha hoped for? Am I willing to be a housewife? Will I be the best wife for Mas Yudha?”
“Key, I like you for who you are, I'm not looking for the best and perfect wife, but I'm looking for a wife who's always by my side under any circumstances, a wife who can be a friend tells me and accompanies me, and that's you.”
I stared at her face quite closely while smiling, “Really?”
“True dong, fake time.” This time he nosed his forehead to my forehead while smiling made me giggle again.
“We both learn in building a household, so we have to remind each other and fill our respective shortcomings, ok?!”
“Ok!” I replied with a big, unexpected smile and he quickly dyed me! With shock I immediately dizzy to look around afraid of Dad or Mom seeing the incident earlier, or maybe the dirga that will immediately complain to my parents.
“If anyone sees how!” hit Mas Yudha's arm while slightly away.
“Biarin, so going to grebek and finally we are married deh.”
“Iiiih!!!”
“Hahaha.”
He laughed and saw me pouting.
“Out yuk, look for food,” said the Lieutenant while standing and then entered the house.
“Eat where?”
“Where are you going to eat what?”
“Not want to eat but want yogurt.”
“Hmm... Cisangkui?”
“Ok!” I immediately smiled widely when I heard the name of the road as well as the place of yogurt which is quite famous among tourists who are used to coming to Bandung
.
Jg. Cisangkui itself is behind the building satay, and yoghurt cisangkui itself is an ancient house left over by the Dutch heritage which was converted into a place to eat and quite comfortable. We were waiting for an order when unexpectedly someone greeted us, and it was Karin. Uh! I forgot that Karin's house was in Cimanuk not too far from Cisangkui, we shouldn't have been here.
“Whose name, Rin?”
“Together friends, Mas... You two alone?’
“Iya.”
“Think Arga same Irene come too.”
“No, we were impromptu to here.”
Karin nodded in understanding, behind him now crowding some women and men, some of them were bule making us look at them.
“Oh yes, these are Karin's friends when I went to college in Australia first.” Karin introduced us to her friends in fluent English.
But what caught my attention was the woman that Karin introduced last, a woman with long straight black hair, white skin, and, and sunglasses perched on his nose that immediately opened when he looked at us. I could see the shock from his lash-framed eyes as he stared at the Lieutenant making me stare at the Lieutenant who still looked relaxed as usual.
“This is Nadine, and her boyfriend Ryan.” Karin introduced the woman to the bule man standing beside her.
Nadine? Oh, don't tell me she's that Nadine!!!
“Nadine,” said the woman while sticking her hand out to the Lieutenant who received the Lieutenant with a smile.
“Keyza, her fiance Mas Yudha,” said I made her and Karin surprised when I introduced myself.
“Tu-nangan? I didn't know you were engaged,” Karin said in surprise, and I felt guilty for her because I knew how she felt about the Lieutenant all along.
“The official one has not, Rin, God willing we will invite yes if the official event,” replied the Lieutenant made Karin look even more beaten, and I really feel guilty for giving her false hope.
“Congratulations yes.”
“Thank you,” I said while nodding, and even though they were sitting in the long chair not far from us, I immediately sighed when I sat back in front of the Lieutenant.
“Why?” asked the Lieutenant while looking at me with chin support.
“I feel bad about Karin.”
“This is why I didn't want to give him hope first.”
“I should have heard Mas Yudha first.”
“Euh!” Mas Yudha ruffled my hair fat, “If it horrified me directly not Keyza his name.”
Hearing that I pouted but then smiled making him laugh along with the arrival of our order, two glasses of yogurt and a serving of batagor for the Lieutenant.
“Mas.”
“Hmmm.”
“Mmm... it's his friend Karin who it is.”
“Which one?” he asked while bribing batagor and looking at me with a mouth full of funny looks.
“Yang earlier... the latter it.”
The Lieutenant nodded in understanding.
“Dia... former Mas Yudha yes?” I was curious to make the Lieutenant look at me for a moment and then nod.
“Iya.”
“Tow!” I cried out loud enough to make some people look at me who immediately grimaced while staring at the Lieutenant who instead laughed while taking bricks with his fork.
“Aaa..!” his orders with a fork that had contained batagor in front of my mouth that I immediately ate even though I still looked at him annoyed at laughing at me, I accidentally saw Karin's desk where she and Nadine were staring at us.
“But why did you pretend you didn't know?” ask me with my mouth full.
“He first pretended not to know, have let it be maybe he has forgotten the real.” The Lieutenant bribed the batagor while shrugging his shoulders casually.
“They are concerned about continuing,” I said while sipping yogurt.
“Who?”
“Fans!”
“Hahaha.. let them enjoy looking at the beauty of this one creation of God.”.
“Ckkk!” I glanced at her words, making her smile again.
“What matters is that I only see you, and you only see me.”
Hearing that makes me want to not smile embarrassed.
“Cantics.”
“Who?”
“Nadine.”
“Beauty you.”
“I'm serious, Mas.”
“I'm also serious,” said the Lieutenant while drinking his yogurt.
I have always been fascinated and amazed to see him who always looks calm and relaxed in any condition as if there is no burden in his life, and never be profited by anything. We continued to eat and drink our yoghurt with other things, sometimes I laughed at his jokes
“I want to pay first yes,” said the Lieutenant while standing and going inside, but what surprised me was that I saw the woman, I mean Nadine stood up and went inside as if she was following the Lieutenant.
