"Sir, there's an invitation" Sandra said as she watched me enter the boutique.
I just got home from the minimarket, ran out of personal shopping and bought a supply of instant coffee, tea bags, and some snacks for my employees and guests. Sandra stood up straight from her chair and approached me, handing out a maroon wedding invitation envelope with gold engraving on each corner, and matching colored ribbons with engraving as decorations.
"From who?"
"Bak Arisha's. Ms. Arisha also ngundang Mas Kenzo, he would be very happy if Mbak Qilla ngajakin Mas Kenzo as well. You see, Arisha's mother who loves herself, Ma'am."
I nodded in understanding, "OK, I'll tell you what the person can do" I said before going upstairs. "Shop I unload above first yes, so please be patient waiting. I want to clean up, guys," I said half-jokingly.
"Here, it's time to go home, if you wait for Mbak Qilla beberes first to rush to the house to," said Mbak Husna who followed crisp laughter from Jihan and Sandra. It finally made me laugh.
"Well, don't go home first. Overtime," my voice was immediately rejected by Sister Husna all out.
I laughed again while shaking my head, and then started climbing the stairs.
As soon as I got upstairs, I immediately put my groceries and wedding invitations from Arisha on the table. Then threw my ass on the sofa, then grabbed the invitation envelope I had placed on the table.
"When the reception," I muttered as I opened the ribbon on the envelope decoration. "well, stay next week. Kenzo's not gonna do it, is he? Did I come by myself? Uh, but it's not good with Arisha."
Although with some hesitation, I finally decided to contact Kenzo. It's better to ask the person directly, than I decide for myself. If Kenzo can do it, it's the same with Kenzo. But if the Kenzo can't, come alone.
"Cie Cie, something's missing. Severe kangen huh, up to the phone first?" Kenzo's voice immediately greeted my eardrum, as the connection connected.
I smiled while snorting faintly. Although in the heart a little justify the sentence.
"Assalamualaikum," I said ignoring his question.
And I could hear the sound of clucking from across. And if you can guess, now Kenzo's expression must be pouting right now.
"Yes, wallaikumsalam. Yes, you are not cool at all. Nyebelin," curled Kenzo later.
I just laughed when I shook my head in thought.
"Udah, make it. Here I want to ask you something, are you busy?"
"Yes, I'm usually busy. Just because you were on the phone first, I wasn't busy. What's up?"
"Oh, that's not funny."
"I'm not funny anymore."
"Yes, yeah. Do you have an event next week?"
"Why?" Kenzo's voice turned serious.
"I got a wedding invitation from one of my customers. If you're not busy, can you keep me?"
"When?"
"Next week."
"Wooh! Next week I promise Kesha to send her to Bogor. How's it?"
"Oh, yes if there is an event. I came by myself."
"Did I cancel my promise of equal-"
"Not to!" cut me quick. "I came alone, or with Sandra."
"I'm sorry, yes" Kenzo regretted.
I smiled wryly while shaking my head. Although Kenzo didn't see it.
"Its okay. Yes, I closed it. Sorry if it interrupts your busy time."
"Yes, not papa."
"Yes, I'm closed" I said before ending the connection.
"Yes. Don't forget to take care of your health and don't miss!" reply Kenzo before sambunhan disconnected.
I simply replied with a frown and immediately ended the call. Somehow I felt a little relieved that Kenzo couldn't keep me company, but on the other hand I also felt a little disappointed by his slightly different attitude, like there was a barrier between us, so we can't behave as usual. The more I thought about it, the more doubtful I felt about our relationship, the more I remembered Mas Adi's words. Ah, nevermind. I'd rather start cleaning up my groceries than think of something vague like this. Just get dizzy.
I felt quite sorry for forcing my condangan to come to the wedding, which is only a handful of people I know. If it's like this, I could die a flea inside. Even though I know pretty close to the ones who have a wish. But if you remember this many guests, where was the pangantin or the owner of hajat accompany me to drive away boredom. Obviously not going to happen.
"I should've asked Jihan aja, "" I regretted what I did.
Just because Sandra couldn't keep me company, I ended up rashly coming alone. Ck. Really sucks.
"He said he had a girlfriend, he kept coming alone. No one really has it yet, Mommy?"
In my heart I immediately cursed, when I found the triumphant smile and the satirical tone that Reynand was looking at right now. And now I really feel really sorry for coming alone.
"It was answered, not dumb."
I tried to force my smile. "I don't think I have the right to answer your question" I said later.
"Still aja judes, his mouth is sore like chili powder that is kiklanin his son Sule, whose level is 30. But why do I like it."
I tried not to squash that loud enough murmur. And chose to immediately join the crowd of guests who were queuing to shake hands with the bride. After I finished shaking hands, I had to go home immediately, so there was no need to bother meeting that handsome annoying guy.
But good luck doesn't seem to be on my side. Because just as my two feet stepped away from the crowd of guests, my right hand was suddenly blocked by someone. And when I turned around, I immediately found Reynand's face with a smile that I could hardly describe.
"Where are you going?"
I raise my eyebrows next door. Wonder why I should tell him.
"I don't think this is your business. And can you please let go of my hand?"
Reynand nodded, letting go of my hand and raising his own hands high.
"But I can't let my sister's special guests just walk away without tasting our hard-earned menu. So, let me get you to ba-"
"No. Thank you," as I cut the sentence tightly.
Reynand nodded again, although her facial expression did not look like one that truly understood.
"But I'm afraid of people who don't like it when I'm debunked," Reynand replied not to lose.
I snorted violently. "It's definitely not my business."
"really? Are you someone who likes to attract attention?"
"meaning?" I looked at him not understanding.
Reynand moved her body and whispered. "I am quite skilled at making my interlocutors comply with my request, by attracting attention around him. How, wanna try?"
"Is that a threat?"
Reynand nodded. "It can be."
I was angry because I lost. With a sigh I also walked to
the catering stand followed Reynand behind me who was smiling triumphantly. Makes me feel anxious to hide it.
"Please enjoy the meal. I resigned. If you need help, you can call me."
After saying that, he immediately left without waiting for my answer at all.
God fucking. Why is it like this?
Tbc,
I'm back😥
Has anyone missed me?
Ken Ken Ken Mas?
Or Mamas Rey?
Uh, nothing huh?
Yes shudah.
I don't have to keep going. That's it.
