Guardians of the Heart #2
Extra Part 4
Yudha Pov
Bandung, 2017
Wicked treatment during bullet removal created a gunshot wound that I had an infection and the day after my return to my homeland I had a high fever so I could not get out of bed.
Not wanting to make him worry more about making me keep my pain a secret from him, he just thought that day I was asleep all day while in the room I fell asleep with the inpus attached to my hand. Papah called the doctor who happened to be our neighbor whom I used to call Om Tomy.
Om Tomy cleaned, treated and re-stitched his wound, he also gave me some medicine that I had to drink until the next day I was strong enough to come to Jakarta and attend dinner at the State palace.
But my condition had not fully recovered and fortunately the office that knew the true circumstances gave me permission to rest, and at that time I used my best to take care of the marriage.
“She'll go berserk, Nan, if not involved in her wedding preparations.”
“Mending him raging, Ga, but finally want to marry than I tell you now but instead rejected.”
“Hahaha, true also yes, he must be an expensive selling snob not want to marry cepet-cepet.”
“Well yes, you will know for yourself he is stubbornly rich how.”
“Hahaha, really!”
It is on that basis that secretly I and my parents met with his family.of course when he was not at home and it was Arga's duty to distract him.
Without guessing her family agreed to my request not to tell her in advance about this wedding plan. As a result we were all preoccupied with all the wedding preparations that fortunately just had to print the invitation and look for a reception place.
“Kekey wants to be outdoor but cringe of rain as well, so if you can find a place that is semi indoor only.”
Now that Arga and I are in the OASIS office, not having a brother makes me ask for help from Arga and the OASIS members who know my future wife very well.
“Ok, later we try googling continue to survey the field,” said Adit who got a nod from all of them.
“Ada have an acquaintance printing invitation not?”
“Invitation is easy, Mas, ku (same) Agus.”
“But it can be short, Gus?”
“Can be set, ayeuna mah (now) find the date first.”
“Oh enya datena can definitely (Oh yes yes the date does not exist).. I want it these months, but depending on where it is usually when.”.
“So now we have to find the place first, if the place is definitely just a print invitation,” said Arga who got the nod from me.
“Ready! Let Kamal be with Yoan who is looking for a place.”
The whole room suddenly got a cough hearing Kamal's words made Yoan blush, seeing that it made me remember something.
“Oh yes, I also plan to bed Kekey personally.
I told my idea of proposing to Kekey on the star hill that was a witness when we first said the word love. And it seems that God made all my business easier, unexpectedly Adit knew some people who were in charge of guarding the star hill and he was willing to ask permission to do a lamara event there.
“Mas Yudha, from now on do not contact Kekey first yes,” said Yoan made me frown.
“Why?”
“Kan let surprise!” said Yuni, Mira, Vita and Yoan berbargan make me and Arga lyrics each other then laugh.
“Which there is he will be raging.”
“Ya is not if it will be on the day of his H we make as sweet as possible, he must be moved to believe deh,” said Vita who got a nod from others.
“Just Mas Yudha don't call him first.”
“If he called me?”
“Do not lift!”
“WA?”
“Do not reply!”
“Waahtang nih,” said I because I can imagine what he would be like knowing I avoid him.
“Well Arga's job is to nenangin Kekey.”
“Can-can tekor bandar gini story mah,” hela Arga makes me laugh, because I know he is the one who has the toughest task this time.

A few days later I heard from Kamal that the place they came to was on average full until the next few months and there was even one until the beginning of next year. it made me a little bit slack but fortunately Kamal finally gave word there was a resort in the Dago Pakar area there was empty on Sunday less than 2 months away because there was a cancel.
In addition they have also prepared packages kumplit so I no longer need to bother thinking about decorations, bridal makeup and catering. Feeling satisfied and suitable made me intend to pay DP, and this time there was a little debate about who would pay between Za's parents and my parents, until I finally mediated.
“Let Yudha alone,” my words make them look at me, “Yudha has a little savings that insyaallah is enough to finance this wedding.”
But it turns out that my words even make me in a state of pinched.
“Yud, Kekey is Dad's only daughter so how can Dad just let go,” said Dad made me understand his point, “For this time Dad has set aside money for his wedding, I'm happy, you know alone that his brother and sister are all men so maybe this is the only chance Dad can feel the marriage of girls. So let me just finance your marriage.”.
“Moreover Papah, Papah only has you, Yud,” said Papah as if he did not want to lose while breathing heavily dramatizing the situation while again saying, “Papah only married once… the cost of your marriage has become Papah's obligation, your savings, you save it for your future with Kekey later.”
Both. wait! Not both but the fourth because Mamah and Mother look at me expectantly making me go awry not knowing who to choose... aah, so this is the name of one of the hassles of taking care of the wedding? Lucky you, Za, do not have to be dizzy rich gini. For a moment I regretted keeping this marriage a secret from her, I hope that she is here now so that at least she can go along with the dizziness like me.
“If for example just how,” I said trying to find a middle ground after thinking for a moment, “The cost is divided into two?”
“Ya engga can do dong, Yud.. if the cost is divided in two that we are not good, because if for example one family is too dominating about the reception event later we do not feel good with the family of the irony, because if for example, one family is too domineering about the reception later we do not feel the same with the family of the irony,” said Mother who got a nod from Mamah made me back have to turn the brain to find a middle ground.
“Well what if for example later after ijab qobul we reception on the female side as much as generally, and after that only the male party held ngunduh mantu?”
“Nah is rich that way,” said Mamah agreed to the idea of Mom making Dad and Papah smile while nodding his head, and I also helped breathe a sigh of relief because finally one problem was finished.
And finally it was agreed that the ones in Dago would be paid Papah, while the Za family said that they would only do a simple reception that turned out to be quite far from the simple word, but, but what surprised me was the day the female family reception would be held on the same day as the event in Dago!
Which I guess they'll just do a reception at home which means they can be done at any time, but it turns out they're renting a building.
“The building is just that date is empty, so directly I take it rather than wait a long time again.”
“Yes, it's okay, Dad.” I said with a resigned smile, rather than being pushed back again could be his business.
Thank God all the preparation is done, I stay to carry out my application. We are currently being preoccupied with installing small lights, makeshift sound systems, and food affairs so that women who chat.
“Still long?” ask Arga who is currently with my future wife.
“In a moment.” I replied to his message.
“Buruan, ears are hot nih.”
“Hahaha... patiently yes, Boss!”
I smiled imagining for sure he was sulking because he couldn't reach me for two weeks. Fortunately, for two weeks I was busy with our wedding preparations, otherwise I would not be strong to meet him.
The application that night went well, he looked surprised and happy but he was more surprised when I said that in a month we would get married.
“Why wasn't I told? Who wants to marry me!” He asked as we talked together after coming home from the star hill.
“Together I married her, when you married yourself.”
“Came, seriously!’
“Seriously, you marry me.”
“Know ah!” he said being upset made me smile.
“Hahaha... sorry, but know not?”
“Engga, not to be told.”
“Udah dong angrynya.. want to hear not us later what concept?” he was still pouting not answering, making me smile because I knew it would be like this.
“Later it is yes we use a semi outdoor theme, so you do not have to be afraid of rain and so Sodako, but you can also see the view of Bandung from a height.” I silently smiled looking at her who was now beginning to be interested in what I was talking about.
“Bandung views from a height?”
“Iya, and at night. so dahayangkan must be very good tuh.”.
A smile began to expand from her beautiful face with sparkling eyes.
“And also, later before the reception at the start we will walk under the sword umbrella of my colleagues.”
“Medium?” her glowing eyes now boasted a vibrant look and this time I really smiled because it seemed like my efforts had worked. He is stubborn, but also like a child if you live in love ice cream must be silent, hehehe.
“Iya... sword pora, you don't like it? If you don't like it I'll cancel everything.”
“Like! Don't get cancelled!”
Ok! Mission complete.
