Lovely Love

Mahligai Mulia

"Look at the situation around, baby," said Nadine as she prepared to get out of the car. "Don't let any villagers see us."

"This area is far from our village" Gerdy said. "So I think it's safe."

They got out of the car. Nadine walked a bit hastily while looking left right. He was afraid that there were villagers selling in the area of the fifth leg. They should be dressed normally, so as not to attract attention.

"Your path is suspicious" said Gerdy. "We want marriage, not debt."

"Don't miss the pede deh," said Nadine worried. "Who knew there were villagers healing again."

"You take it easy" comfort Gerdy. "I'll finish well if there's a villager who catches us."

"You've made a lot of money!"

The Office of Religious Affairs was deserted when they arrived at the entrance. No guests queue to take care of the needs. Maybe it's morning. There are only a few busy employees. 

Dennis is reliable. They had no difficulty in administrative examinations. The wedding procession went well.

Gerdy didn't have to tell her about their disgrace so this marriage happened, but she was ready to be honest. He would not lie for a noble one. Officer KUA seems to have received a leak from Dennis.

Nadine's tears fell. He did not know whether tears were happy or sad. He had dreamed of having a wedding with a big party, attended by many invited guests. Not just a few people because the situation is not possible!

"Congratulations, my son." Mami was the first to get the chance to congratulate her. "May you be happy to live a new life. You have got what you aspire to. Live in a household with the man of your choice."

Dennis gets a second turn. "Congratulations. May it be the Samawa family."

Nadine hugged the man tightly and burst into tears. "Thank you, Om, for being my guardian."

As Prilly congratulated, Nadine said in a whisper, "Don't take your sister for example. The right school. Be a strong woman."

"Don't be inferior, sister," said Prilly. "Test drive before purchase is normal."

"Don't get to you."

"Yes." Yeah."

Then the KUA officers queued to congratulate. One official commented, "There should be a photo event for old age memories. Or is it prewedding?"

Nadine smiles. "Enough with a digital camera. Emergency knowledge."

"Don't disdain yourself, Non" said Mimin who got the last turn to congratulate. "Other women are a lot like Non. They are not ashamed of a big party. I am even proud of the Non, dare to take responsibility. There are many opportunities for abortion."

"Kok the Non anyway, Min?" gerdy protest. "Barusan's done."

Mimin. "Oh, yes...Madam."

"When did you come?" fashion Mami. "Three heads."

Mimin blushed a little. "Who wants to be with me?"

"So's your taste for heights," smiled Mami. "Let the view down a bit, there must be a lot in line."

"Mommy guess I bansos what's a lot of queuing up?"

Prilly is busy capturing every moment with a digital camera. Gerdy initially wanted to hire a photographer, but Nadine disagreed. He wants the marriage contract to take place simply, which is important solemn. Photo events in the studio with various models of wedding clothes are enough for him, and have spent a lot of money.

After the wedding, they went to the buffet room. This KUA provides a wedding party room for couples with small capital. Renting a building is very expensive in this city. 

Gerdy can't afford to rent a building. He wanted the reception to be held behind closed doors to keep the possibility of the wedding news out.

Nadine is a well-known photomodel in the capital. Their marriage could fall apart if they sniffed journalists and the news all the way to the satellite city.

"Is there an out-of-town service this week?" gerdy asked when he had the chance to talk to Dennis. Off-city service is a routine excuse for his wife.

"Don't start, '" said Dennis. "I've fulfilled all your requests."

"I want to fulfill all your desires."

"Well, so act like a good nephew. Don't be so rude."

"I'm just asking, is there an out-of-town service? Is that wrong?"

"Clearly wrong! You asked in a public place!"

"So there's a special place for this?"

"There! In toilet! Then your head was buried into the closet!"

"So sadistic om," Gerdy's grin half mocked. "I didn't mean anything. Don't disappoint Tarlita, that's all I ask."

Gerdy hopes Dennis visits Bandung often. He is confused to find an excuse to reject Tarlita's invitation if the man rarely comes to give an inner living. Coming on schedule, he often gets midweek invitations. He was determined to quit his free life. So no more affair with the women of the past.

"I'm asking you not to fuck around" Dennis said. "Me and Tarlita aren't a pleasant target for you, because I definitely don't stay silent."

"Don't think badly of me" said Gerdy calmly. "I don't think it's a man to take advantage of other men's ugliness."

"Good then. It means you're willing to be a good nephew."

"I hope you often visit Bandung, not only the weekend, and it's your business forever. But it's my business if you tell Tarlita about this wedding."

"Deal."

"You don't want to know why I'm asking that?"

"Your request I've been thinking about. So don't teach me."

"Your age is older than mine, but the experience sucks" Gerdy smiled wryly. "Your game is dangerous not to be honest with Tarlita. You've built a dream that makes everyone sick."

Nadine was astonished at their familiarity. The three of them reappeared the other day. He came up to them and asked his uncle, "I asked Om to be honest. He seemed very familiar with my husband. Did you know before?"

"Here you go" replied Dennis short.

Nadine shocked. "Where?"

"In my house" Dennis smiled. "When you introduce as a future husband."

"Short is it Om can be familiar?" nadine's eyes don't believe. "I know Om is very selective in choosing friends."

The newly arrived mother rebuked, "You are so strange. Same niece is familiar so the problem. You should be grateful that your husband is acceptable to our extended family. After all, what's the problem if they've known each other before?"

Mami doesn't know my worries Nadine lamented inwardly. He knew Gerdy's life was wild. The young man is a predator of love that needs to be addressed after a household. Could Om Dennis be involved in a scandal and Gerdy know that? So easily he is willing to be a guardian. Nadine doesn't want her husband in trouble!

"Are you sure you don't want a story?" nadine urged when they had left the KUA office, was on the way home.

"There comes a time when you know" said Gerdy casually.

"When's the time?"

"When you can understand a man."
