Like Rubbish

Chapter 23.

Today Yusuf and Andini are doing wedding dress fittings. Where else if not in his giant boutique. Not because he couldn't afford to order in a more expensive place. This is solidarity with the family, it must support each other. After all, in the Raisya boutique the clothes are of good quality and the model is no less beautiful.

Joseph entrusted completely to Raisya, what kind of model of bridal dress he would wear. The aunt must know how she tastes. And maybe it will be adjusted to the wishes of his future wife.

Raisya is currently measuring Andini's body using a meter. Joseph silently watched her while sitting on the sofa.

"Don't bend Andini, stand your body !" Raisya wrapped his measuring instrument around Andini's chest circumference.

Joseph barely blinked watching. Suddenly he wanted to be the meter to be able to touch and hug Andini that much. Ohhh, no ! it's always like this. Joseph immediately shook his head quickly. He tried to shift his tilting mind by fiddling with the phone.

"Ok, done !" Raisya sat in her chair.

Andini sat next to her future husband. Joseph looked at Raishya. "Then we say goodbye. Thank you so much for the help of Auntie."

"Either. But for a minute, do you want to wear a veil or not, when Ijab kabul and reception ?"

Joseph looked at the girl beside him. Andini glimpsed at Joseph, then turned to Aunt Raisya. "By, Aunt. I want to wear a veil. It seems more graceful and soothing."

"Alright, Auntie will make it all. Where are you going after this ?"

Joseph replied, "To my apartment. It's quiet in there, it'll be fun." Staring mischievously at his future wife with a serious expression.

Andini said, "What do you mean ? I don't want to go there."

Raisya widened, he already knew that his nephew just wanted to prank on Andini. "Yusuf must have been just flirting, he couldn't have done it."

Andini grinning withstanding shame. You Yusuf ! he likes to make me tremble.

Joseph moved from his seat. "Tante, we're saying goodbye."

Raisya nodded with a smile. "Be careful on the road, son ! watch out for the many demons, lest you crash !"

Joseph smiled a little and passed. He understood the meaning of the tant. Andini got up and bowed respectfully to Raisya. "I'm sorry, Auntie. Thank you very much !"

After aligning herself, the girl turned her head. "What demon does Aunt Raisya mean ?" no answer from the one asked.

Andini thought for a moment and then spoke again, "Ohhh, yes. I've heard of people getting into accidents because of being bullied by subtle creatures. Once in my village, there was once a car that went into the ravine. He said the rider saw a ghost who was transformed as a girl, passing in the middle of the road. In order to avoid crashing, the car was deflected and instead went into the abyss. You should focus on carrying the car. Don't forget to pray too !"

Joseph chuckled, "What a terrible story you have."

"Why laugh so ? he said it was scary ! Do you want to get sucked up ? don't believe it and assume this is just bullshit ?"

"Aunte Raisya means, let's not discuss it. I'm afraid you fainted hearing that." Mengulum.

Andini still scrunched her forehead. "I'm getting curious. Quickly explain !" wiggling the arm of the man next to her, while continuing to walk.

"The point is, like this. When we are alone, many demons are tempting. If I'm not careful, then you're gonna run out of me greedily." Joseph stopped walking. He moved his mouth as if he wanted to chew the girl.

Andini immediately let go of her hand. What does that mean, huh ? The girl grinned the horse and silenced her mouth so as not to roar anymore.

Both arrived in front of the car and entered. Joseph put on his seatbelt and started the machine.

"Wear seat belts ! it is very important to take care of your safety. Or, can I help you ?" looking up while moving his eyebrows.

Andini is lightning fast using her seatbelt. "I can wear it myself," a little nervous.

Cars drove down the city streets. Stop at a restaurant after fifteen minutes of travel. After parking his car, Yusuf got off first. Of course the man opened the door for his future wife. Andini felt like a king's daughter, as she got out of the car. Joseph's treatment made him feel special. They also walked into the restaurant.

Now the two had sat facing each other, blocked by the round table in front of them. A waiter approached and gave a menu list. Andini watched the man who stood up meticulously. Her face seemed familiar, Andini seemed to know the servant. Yeah, correct. It must be him, it can't be wrong !

Joseph was able to catch the girl. His face turned sour, not willing if his future wife was paying attention to other men. "An, what do you want to order ? don't be so dumb !" his voice sounded annoyed.

Andini still had a glance at the man who was preparing to record the order. If I say hello, will he recognize me ? The girl was still struggling with her own thoughts.

Yusuf let out a higher voice, "Andini, do you want to order food or just want to look at her ?" his eyes tapered towards the girl who was now trying to smile at him, in order to avoid trouble. "I, I want the same food as you."

While the waiter just pretended not to know if he was involved in the jealousy of the male guest. He also did not want to take a dizzy when Andini looked at him full of investigation. He calmly recorded all Joseph's orders. "Good, sir. Orders will be delivered soon. Excuse me." The man smiled then passed after taking back the menu book.

Yusuf leaned back in his chair, his gaze intimidating the now downcast girl. "You like that guy ?"

Andini looked up, her forehead shrinking. "Who do you mean ?"

"Waiters who just left. You look until your eyes don't blink." His hands are folded on his chest.

"The waiter ? not so ! I watched him, because I seemed to know him."

Joseph chirped in annoyance, "If you knew each other, then that man might have greeted you earlier."

"I'm sure that the man was a friend of my class in Junior High. But we have different classes. He was one of the popular students of that time, so I got to know him. If she's not, it's not necessarily memorized with my face." Andini.

"Why ? you're disappointed that that guy didn't recognize you ?"

Andini pursed her lips, "You misunderstood. I'm just disappointed that I didn't have any friends. It's only right if he doesn't recognize me. Let alone that man, my classmates were not even aware of my whereabouts."

The girl was always sad when she remembered school. No one wants to be friends with her, just because she's cute. He is also not an accomplished student, it is only natural that he is always forgotten.

Soon, the waiters returned with all Joseph's orders. He put food and drinks on the round table. "Good fun, ladies and gentlemen," he said kindly.

Joseph did not care about the man. Andini looked at him again. "Sorry, are you the Malik who used to go to school in SMP Harapan Negara ?"

"Sorry, miss. Why do you know me ?"

Joseph was completely burned to see the girl familiarize herself with another man. He introduced himself intentionally. Joseph drank the water in front of him to the end, so that the heat in his chest could be lost.

"Sorry, miss. I really don't know you. Excuse me !"

"Eh, wait. You know that girl I've always been alone with at school ? that's who I am !" Andini looks a little upset. Why does not almost everyone think it exists in this world ?

Malik scrunched his forehead while scratching his head. He really doesn't recognize Andini. As hard as it was to remember, still the girl was never in his memory.

Joseph stared intently at the servant, "You're gone, you still have a lot of work, don't you ?!"

Malik bowed respectfully, "Sorry, sir. Excuse me, please enjoy our meal !" hastily escaped from that situation.

Joseph looked hard at Andini. "Good, in front of me you dare to talk to another man. What if I'm not with you ?"

"You're this, just jealous."

"Of course, I'm your husband-to-be. Just imagine if I talk and get along with other women, what do you feel ?"

"No problem, just don't overdo it." The girl answered tightly and directly devoured the food that was in front of her. It is better to fill his stomach that has been rumbling, rather than having to take care of things that are not important.

Joseph breathed a rough breath. He really doesn't care. I doubt he loves me or not ?

He also vented his frustration by chewing the food greedily. Just this time Joseph ate hastily and that much. Andini looked at him. Is he possessed ? usually the food is very good. But look now, he even beat me.

Joseph had finished his meal, while Andini's plate was still filled.

Joseph called the waiters to make the payment. After that, he moved from his seat. "If you're still here, then I'll go home alone." Joseph stepped forward without looking back.

Andini immediately drank and then stood up. He followed the man's long steps. "Wait !"

Yusuf was silent as he continued walking towards the parking lot. Even in front of the car, he was still silent. The man got into his vehicle first, without helping open the door for Andini.

Dini throbbed annoyed while opening the car door. You little boy ! just get angry ! if he's not my future husband, then I'll pinch him.

Andini put her seatbelt on. His eyes occasionally glanced at the man next to him who was still silent. You want to play quietly with me ? all right, I wanna see when you're gonna hold on ?

Joseph drove his car fast. His eyes were fixed forward. He was still upset at Dini. The girl had already made him jealous and angry, but did not apologize in the slightest. He had to teach his future wife a lesson.

The car moved quickly but not toward the house of Joseph. Where would he take the girl ? Andini several times pay attention to the streets, he believes this is not the way back to the big house of Hadi Wijaya.

The girl trembled a little, let alone see the face of Joseph's jutek. "Where are we going ? this is not the way home." He lost that silent-at-home game of being too scared.

Joseph did not answer. Andini tried again to ask even though her voice shook, "You don't think things through, do you ?!"

Joseph snorted angrily, "Just be quiet, I'll take you somewhere. I want to prove whether you really love me or not." Those sharp eyes were still pointing forward.

Andini's body shriveled, her chest pounding incoherently. He was afraid that the man was doing something strange or crazy. Where's he taking me ? what do I have to do to prove my love for her ? hopefully his brain is not short !

Andini is silent. His feelings are fog. Confused, scared but in another corner of her heart she believes that the man next to her will not hurt her.

The car stopped at a Muslim clothing store. Joseph bought the girl a veil and clothes that Andini also had to wear. After that he told Dini to take ablution, he did the same.

The two got into the car again and the journey continued.

Early look outside the car, pay attention to every road he passes. It seems familiar, is not this the way to TPU where his late mother lives ? Slowly he began to understand what Joseph was saying.

Joseph pulled his car over. Unbinding her seat belt, she spoke to the girl beside her. "Come, we're going down ! it's time for you to prove that I'm the man you love."

Andini looked over, "What do you want me to do ?" pretend to ask when you can guess what the answer is.

Joseph looked at him intently, "I will take you to see the late grandfather, I will show you if you are the woman I love and will marry. You should do the same. If you really love me, you'll introduce me to your late mother."

Andini nodded. The two went down and bought flowers and water to the seller in front of the TPU. After that, step into the funeral. Because the tomb of Andini's mother they first passed, then they made a pilgrimage first to that place.

As usual if visiting the tomb, they will certainly recite prayers and so forth. Sowing flowers and water to the final resting place of their late family.

Andini crouched down while rubbing her mother's headstone. He spoke as if he was chatting with a figure he missed so much. "Mom, Andini brought the handsome and kind-hearted prince. Name's Yusuf. But he's a fool, he wants to marry this ugly mother's daughter." The girl smiled crazily. If only his mother was still there, surely he would be excited and happy.

"Mom, Andini also wants to be his wife. Joseph was a sincere man, he was the only man who always gave me abundant affection." Tears spilled onto his face.

"I promise to try to make Andini happy." Joseph said with conviction.

After the pilgrimage to Bu Lastri's tomb, they moved to Mr. Hans's grave. Doing the same thing as before.

"Opa, the girl who was with Joseph was Andini, my future wife. She's a good girl, I love her so much."

"Opa, Andini will try to be a good wife to Joseph."

When they were on pilgrimage, they got into a car to travel to the house of the house of Joseph's family.

This time Joseph's face was no longer sour. Even the aura of cheerfulness and happiness emanated clearly from his handsome face. He was really relieved because now he was very sure, that Andini loved him sincerely.

With a fluffy smile, the man occasionally glanced at the girl who was staring at him.

Andini smiled amusedly, "You really don't like to see me talking to other men ? it's worth it that time you so-so and make strange rules. I was forbidden to say hello, smile, touch other men. It turns out that's because you're jealous."

"Yes, it's true."

Andini smiled satisfied and happy. That means her future husband, really loves her. He never thought he would get the heart of a handsome man like Joseph.
