My Choice of Match

Eps. 43

The clear sky accompanied Afdal's day and Mely walked through the store along the way, still confused about giving gifts to make them enter the store and then come out again empty-handed.

Until they go to the fifth store, the waiter of the store welcomes them kindly.In the neatly lined shelves of various shapes and colors of bags, the, at first glance, Mely thought to give her a bag but if she only bought a lady's bag then what should she give to sister Deni, a sigh of despair and a lethargic face again plastered on her face.

His feet walked back slowly while looking at all the objects, until finally he found something suitable for the newlyweds.A small round teapot and two beautiful glasses, he said, he found the right gift.

Mely immediately brought a package of teapots and glasses to the cashier to wrap it, after finishing paying Mely realized from now on she was walking alone without the presence of Afdal.

Apparently Brother Afdal is cool himself looking around, after telling me that Mely had found a good gift, they finally moved again to another store.Sufficiently they walked until finally Brother Afdal decided to give a blanket as a wedding gift.

"Cape no?" ask Afdal after he has finished paying for what he bought.

"Lumayan anyway"

"Yes, let's go get a yu drink!"

Mely nodded in response, and they went back on the motorbike to find a cafe or warkop to be able to unwind too but the attention of Afdal's brother was lured by the bookstore he passed until he finally decided to stop and stop by.

"What's up, brother?" mely asked in surprise because she did not see the cafe or the drinks seller.

"Let's just a minute when I want to find something at the bookstore, you want to come?"

"Oh, come along" Mely replied.

Afdal parked his bike and went into the store, as usual came he immediately went to the shelves of the comic section.Intense eyes saw the book one by one and so found the book he was looking for his hand immediately grabbed and opened the book.

"What's it about, brother?" ask Mely curiously.

"Ah this, Anima comics"

"Sister Afdal likes to read comics?"

"Yes, even you know? I want to be a comic"

"Well, seriously? drawing is difficult, brother, let alone drawing for comics" asked Mely did not expect Afdal to have such ideals.

"Gue knows, but from a small hobby I've been drawing, painting.So I have aspirations to be a comic"

"Hopefully the ideals of Afdal can be achieved, the spirit of yes brother certainly can.And I will definitely read the work of Afdal's brother" said Mely encouraged.

"Thank you Mel" replied Afdal.

He was happy to have the support of the closest people but considering the gift given by his stepfather made his smile fade.Gift in the form of a ticket to Japan, and, he would go to Japan to see the university there and study in Japan.

But after meeting Mely, it was difficult to go far from him.Suddenly his determination to study in Japan shriveled, even the ticket given by his stepfather even made him upset instead of happy.

"Mel, we go to my house yu" said Brother Afdal.

"Why what?" ask Mely doubtfully.

"Gue wants to show you something"

After cradling, Mely agreed and they left, at the house of Afdal brother Mely was let see all the paintings and semi-finished comics that he made.Proposed on the beautiful and beautiful picture Mely did not believe that it was the hand of Afdal's brother.

"Good brother, I didn't know that Afdal pinter was painting"

He just smiled at the compliments that Mely made, his own eyes looked at Mely fixed.Tell me what she had to be able to make her heart waver, so that she could make her heart waver, the ideals that he kept from childhood and he developed because it was the path of his heart happy, happy, by pouring his imagination in the form of images and stories.He still lapses in making stories but everyone who has seen his paintings praises his beautiful work.

He took a book and a pencil, without Mely noticing Brother Afdal began sketching his smiling face in awe at the work of Brother Afdal.

Dusk came without realizing it, they chatted, joked until they forgot the time.Mely was happy to go home but of course Afdal will not let Mely go home alone, among them Mely went home.

"Thank you, my brother has nemenin nyari kado continues to be invited to see a good painting of Mr. Afdal" said Mely after he arrived.

"Sama-sama, thank you also want to spare time to see my work" replied Brother Afdal.

Not many words they said at that time was only the saying of Brother Afdal who ended their encounter.

The day that awaited finally arrived, Friday Nadin came to the aunt Isma's house and overnight he and Mely wrapped gifts and made parcels, until Sunday morning, Mely dressed up with pink kebaya.

Nadin wears the same suit as Mely, right at seven o'clock in the morning they were picked up by Deni's car.After cleaning gifts and parcels in the car Mely and Nadin also went up and left for Deni's sister's house.

There all the families and there are also brother Damar and brother Afdal who compact wearing a suit is ready to wait, with all the complete preparation they went to the house of the bride-to-be.

The flowers are neatly arranged in every place, beautiful prewedding photos and a festive welcome welcome the arrival of Deni and his family.The heartbeat is racing, heart thumping, the typical nervous face of the bride emanated on the face of Brother Deni who was sitting next to Sely.

His hands clasped the hands of the ruler with solemnity all witnesses waiting patiently for the sacred sentence that will be said Deni.

"I Accept the marriage and marriage of Sely Tegar Subakti binti Tegar Subakti with the dowry in cash"

"How are witnesses legitimate?" ask the ruler to look left and right.

All nodded and finally it was announced that this marriage was legal, Deni and Sely have officially become a married couple.Mely breathed a sigh of relief while wiping a little tears flowing on her cheeks.

The feeling of haru and pride accompanying both brides, of course this immeasurable happiness makes a moment that will not be forgotten.

"Mel come here" invited Nadin to grab the hand of Mely who was a henchman himself.

"Where?" mely asked while following Nadin's steps.

"Sely wants to throw the flowers, who knows you're dapet"

"if I get what?"

"According to custom, if you dapet means you will soon find your soul mate" replied Nadin.

Although less trusting but Mely still follow along, he and Nadin stood at the front but he did not expect the brother Damar and brother Afdal also follow the march.

Sely and sister Deni began to prepare, their hands grasping the flowers in a position to turn their backs to the crowd.They stared at each other lovingly and with a count of three in his throw the flower to the back.

Screams and boisterous shouts greeted the flower that floated in the air, Mely's face looked up at the direction where the flower was going to fall, her hands preparing as she was sure it would fall beside her, and sure enough, the flower fell where it had been expected.

His hand also quickly grabbed and he managed to hold the petals of the flower but the hands of others simultaneously held the stalks.
