And how surprised I was, even my heart almost dropped that the married one turned out to be the person I knew so well. For a moment my steps stopped watching the reality I was seeing right now. But grandmother's hand swiftly attracted me to enter and blend into the hundreds of invited guests present.
Oh my..! Did I not see wrong? I tried to get close to a board that had the names of the two brides on it. Totally beyond belief. There was a great sense of disbelief in my heart, but there was also a deep sense of joy that I was feeling now.
How is it not very clear written on the sign that the name of the bride is 'Irma Vania', yes it is true that she is my friend who first gave me information about work as a labor woman like me today. But was not Irma's destination country first Taiwan bikan Hong Kong? Why is he in Hong Kong and married. Who was he married to?
I tried to pinch myself, a sign that this was not a dream. It turned out that the pinch still hurt even though I was the one who was pinching my hand. That means I am not dreaming. Then how can I approach Irma and interrogate her about how she got to Hong Kong and with whom she got married so that it was held as lively and luxurious as this.
"Here, come here. This is the guy we got a soul mate from Hong Kong. Yesterday grandma got her invitation from one of the relatives who have been living long ago also here." Grandma broke my daydream.
"Hey.. Aini, what's wrong with you? I'm even bengong there." Grandma pulled my arm back. And I could just shut up and ask my grandmother.
" Grandma know them?"
"You mean those two brides?"
"Yes my grandma."
"No, just because he got an invitation from one of the relatives. And grandma wants to see firsthand the marriage of the son of the richest man in Hong Kong. That's all." Grandmother said.
"Miss, Aini wants to get closer to the bride. But how is it going?".
"Let's say, later if your flower throwing event is close to him. Why do you want to be so close to the bride. Do you know him?"
"Yes, I know him."
"Who is he? Is he your friend?"
"Yes grandma. He's the one who helped me get to work here. He was also the first to take me. Her name is Irma nek."
"Well, what a coincidence Ai. You grandma brought me here."
Then it came in time for the show to throw and catch flowers by the bride to the singles, as grandma said I was getting closer to Irma. I wish Irma could see me. If earlier maybe he did not pay attention to my presence because too many people came as an invitation tamh while at this time it is no longer just the singles who are in this flower catch throw.
Not waiting for a long time finally Irmanpun out with his partner. Before the flower show began I immediately approached Irma.
"Irma..!" Called him.
"A..Aini..?" It seems like Irma was surprised by my presence at her party.
I took a few more steps so I could get closer to him.
"Irma, why are you in Hong Kong? Wasn't your destination country Taiwan? Then how many months have you been working even married.How about the story ir?"
"Hehee.iya Ai, I also did not know that I would get married like this."
"Who is that?"
"Yes, I work in Taiwan. And met my husband there. He is the son of my master. We fell in love with each other. But her family didn't approve of our relationship, and she finally decided that we should move to Hong Kong to have a wedding here."
"Then what about your Visa and your workvermit?"
"Yes, we will return to Taiwan after marriage and will take care of all my files."
"Yes the flower show is about to start, let me go first Ir."
"Yes later you don't go home Aini. I want to tell you a lot."
"okay."
Then the flower catcher event began all the singles had gathered in line in front of irma and her husband. I didn't miss me either. I was in the front row hoping to catch the flower Irma threw. Yup. irma steady threw the flowers, but I couldn't catch the flowers. There was another girl who caught him. Then the show ended. Then Irma came back to see me.
"Hey.. Anini"
"What's Ir?"
"Here first..!"
"Yes." Yeah."
"We haven't talked, I want to tell you a lot about Ai."
"Well.I want to hear your story, it must be exciting to be married to the son of a rich merchant from Taiwan."
"Ah you Ai, can be."
"Who's your husband's name Ir?"
"His name is Lee khang ji."
"Then what about your faith?"
"Until this moment we are still living our respective beliefs, Ai."
"And what about your family in Indonesia did you tell them about your marriage?"
"I just told my sister and my sister that I didn't approve of my marriage. But I'm going on."
"Nothing you Ir."
"What if love."
"Well, what about your agent in Taiwan if you're not sanctioned or fined. Marriage is forbidden under contract."
"Yes, I actually got a sanction. I'm on a pretty hefty fine but my husband doesn't mind he's already paid off all my fines."
"Owh. that's so."
"Yes Ai. Maybe it was a decision too soon, but I'm sure with my decision I'm sure I won't regret it in the future. I'm doing this Ai because I'm ready to accept the risks."
"Yes already Ir if it's really your decision and if it's true you've thought carefully. I'm just surprised to see you."
"Ehemk.. I'm not worried that prayer is best for me. Oya who are you here with? And who told you?"
"I went with my grandmother, I didn't know we were going here. Grandma didn't tell me. How shocked I was to see you at the altar."
"Owh.. Does your grandmother know from whom?"
"He knew from one of his relatives who had also lived here for a long time."
"Ehheeem. I didn't think I'd ever meet you Ai. What is your job in Hong Kong?"
"Actually my job is to take care of my grandmother. Which he had a stroke but thank God now he's totally cured."
"Keep your job now?"
"Let's not know my job is still floating. My job is to look after my grandmother who had a stroke because she's healed. And still waiting for my new job from my employer. Now I wish they'd hire me as an employee of their company."
"Owh. I hope Ai, I wish you the best."
"Thank you, Ir."
Shortly after that, I was called Grandma. Then my grandmother and I went home.
