"Congratulations brother, I doain loe happy seven derivatives." said Giordani.
I looked at my sister with a messy emotion. So all this is real?
\\*
I circulated the view to all corners of the room where various models of white dresses were displayed.
"Good afternoon ma'am, let me help you try on the dress" said an officer with a boutique drescode.
...
"Sorry ma'am." said the girl again, it seems that her age is not far away from me.
"Sorry, can you give me a minute? I have a little need." I answered later while looking at the man standing beside me.
"What's wrong?" ask Dave in a low voice.
"What the hell is this all about Dave?" just pissed.
"Follow me." she pulled my hand and dragged me out of the boutique.
"Clearly Dave, obviously." I asked emotionally as I slammed my back against the back of the car seat.
Yeah, we're sitting in the front seat of Dave's car now.
"Cintya, stop acting like a child." said Dave casually, there was no emotion in his voice.
"What do you mean?" I was half screaming.
....
Silent, Dave had no voice at all, he chose to ignore me.
"Dave, how can we get married tomorrow? Why are we getting married? Do we love each other? I don't think we even know each other well enough." I'm protesting at length with a slightly vibrating voice.
I was struggling to hold back my tears, how could I behave naturally? Since last night's sudden proposal, I've been sleeping in Dave's room, and tomorrow I have to get married. How am I supposed to be normal with all this?
"At least explain something Dave, tell me why we should get married" I said, sounding frustrated.
"Follow the flow, don't need to ask a lot of questions." replied Dave relaxed.
"Whatdidyou say? Follow groove? don't need to ask a lot?" many emotions.
....
"You don't care about your life? I care about my life Dave. I have a dream, I have a future."
....
"Then what did you say? just follow the plot? My life's not Dave's game."
"Is marrying me a game?" dave looked at me seriously.
-glek
I spontaneously turned to him at that moment I felt the atmosphere in the car suddenly turn cold.
"If your life is important, doesn't my life matter? If you have a dream, don't I have one? Is it just your life and your precious self, that you consider someone else's property a game?" asked Dave with angry eyes.
"I never said that.".
"You say it, don't shy away."
"No.!!!!"
"You said it, Cintya."
"Here you go, I'm lazy to argue with you. I'll try on the dress, no need to keep me company, just wait here." I said annoyed as I stepped out of the car.

I looked at the figure reflected by the mirror, the sabrina dress with the flared part of the skirt perfectly wrapped around my body. This dress is sprinkled with rose petals, which makes it look elegant.
"Mother is beautiful." praised the boutique clerk who accompanied me in the locker room.
"What's the point of being beautiful? it ends with Dave too. Not only did I not love him, we not only did not fit in with each other, we did not know each other well and got married immediately" I said in my heart.
"Mother, come out so that my fiancee can comment on this dress" the officer's voice returned my consciousness.
"Eh, I don't have to. Help me wrap this dress, I'll take this one alone." I reluctantly tried the other dress.
After removing the dress, me and the officer came out of the dressing room. While waiting for my order to be wrapped suddenly from the direction of the dressing room right next to the one I occupied earlier, came out a very familiar figure in my eyes. Dave, in a white coat, well he really looks like a prince, if I didn't know his annoying attitude I would have fallen for his good looks.
Just look at all the occupants of this room, they are staring at Dave with adoring gazes.
"What's so great about your good looks?" sindirku.
"Well, your master is very handsome." said the officer who had wrapped my order.
"Thank you." replied Dave while being gentle and polite.
"Disease." I swear in my heart.
At first our relationship was fine, containing only daily debates and I could still tolerate her annoying attitude. But since Dave didn't explain anything about this marriage, let alone bother to stop it, I became even more annoyed at this man.
"Do you think it fits?" ask Dave.
....
I turned my head the other way as if I hadn't heard it.
"Alright, I'll try another stelan." I heard Dave's voice.
"Damn. You shitty guy. I don't want to linger here." I still protest inwardly.
"Please help me try, this one, that one..."
"God. Dave stop. Just wear the clothes you're wearing." I said then while looking at him coldly.
"OK. I choose this." Dave said as he returned to the dressing room. Looks like he'll change into his clothes earlier when he comes here.
After paying we left the boutique, still with the cold war. Even along the way no one spoke up. Until we finally got home.
I entered a busy and crowded house. Since last night's proposal, Noni's parents have been staying at my family's house, on the pretext of preparing for the wedding. Some relatives also arrived. This sudden and loveless marriage seems to be turning into a real marriage.
"Home home?" said mami (mother Noni) who first realized our presence.
He told me to call him mami, because after marrying Dave, I was considered a son-in-law, just like Dave was considered a child.
"Yes mi." I shook his hand, as well as my papi and my mama. It seems like this prospective couple really enjoyed their new relationship. It shows how familiar they are now.
"The invitation is over we spread it to Dave." said the mother-in-law.
"Okay mi. thanks mi." answered Dave politely.
"Sneaky ground, in front of the old man was acting soft-ass, but it always pissed me off." I grumbled inwardly as I walked towards the room.
When I arrived at the room, I immediately laid my body on the bed. Trying to stabilize my emotions that had exploded because of a shitty man named Dave.
"Mbak Cintya." a voice teased my arms.
"What's wrong?" I turned towards the door and found two women standing there, complete with strange boxes in their hands.
"I'm sorry, we were called by Mom to take care of your body and skin" they said politely.
All of this had to happen, and I couldn't seem to run away. Even if I had the chance to run, it would not have been disappointing for my mother. Yase, I give up. I finally settled my heart to accept the reality I was facing.
"Want to play here?" ask me then at the two figures still standing in the doorway.
"If you don't mind, or is there an empty room?"
....
I shook my head, considering that the guest room is now inhabited by prospective in-laws.
"All right, just here. We'll clean it up when it's done." they said.
"Don't..don't.I'm the only one who cleans up" I said.
"Can't be so, mbak this is a candidate for manten." said one of them while removing his equipment from the boxes earlier.
I chose silence and locked my lips tightly, not wanting to argue with anyone again. I've had enough of a fight with that shitty Dave.
