My Husband-to-be is my Idol Friend

Jasmine

"Ma, didn't I hear wrong? Grandma told me to get married not according to tradition just because of Grandpa's promise?" david asked after hearing about the wedding vows.

"David, it's because of Grandpa's promise, but we also think that it's time for you to have a partner and get married. Papa and Mama want to hold a grandchild soon, as well as Grandma who wants to see a great-grandchild soon."

"Then why don't you let me marry the woman of my choice?"

"David, you're getting married soon after Grandpa's friend's granddaughter is found. No objection." said the father.

"Are you sure that Grandpa's friend's granddaughter is a woman? If it turns out to be a man, does that mean I can marry a woman of my own choice even if it's not according to tradition?" David asked enthusiastically, hoping his parents would agree.

"No. Outside to fulfill Grandpa's last request, you still have to marry according to family tradition. Our decision is already unanimous." Said the father firmly.

Since childhood David was a child who always obeyed his parents. Their family is a harmonious and happy family. Even David really idolized his parents.

Because his parents said it was a unanimous decision, David could not resist even though in his heart he felt this was quite a shock for him.

Since the first David family is very firm in customs and traditions, therefore David was quite surprised because only this time their family deviated from tradition. Even for the most important thing is marriage.

A few days had passed, Eve was already in Korea and living in a room set up behind a garden next to the church where she was going to work.

Eve did not communicate much with her surroundings, but she was diligent and very attentive to the elders who worship in the church so that in a short time she became the favorite of the head pastor and other workers.

That Sunday as usual Jasmine's parents came to worship at the church which turned out to be the church where Eve worked. Because Eve's oriental and distinctly non-Korean face, many people who noticed her included Jasmine's parents who were the church's biggest donors.

Eve is a woman who does not like to discriminate people. He sincerely watched everyone present worship there, especially towards the elders. Because for Eve who was orphaned, Eve considers them all like her own parents.

That afternoon at the church..

"Well, Jasmine is now a beautiful woman.."

"It's time for a family.."

"Right, right, son Jasmine.Auntie's child is the same age as Nak Jasmine. I'll take you to Nak Jasmine's house sometime so you can get to know ya"

"Aunty's son is also only different 1 year with Nak Jasmine.At some time Aunty visited ya"

"Are Nak Jasmine's parents home often? Aunty visits Auntie's son sometime too huh"

In the middle of the park were seen some middle-aged women who were busy greeting a young girl. From the look on the girl's face it was very noticeable that she was not comfortable with the situation, but because her path was blocked by the middle-aged women, the girl could not leave that place and could only put on an awkward smiling face.

"Excuse me Miss.sorry if I interrupt, but Miss's parents are waiting for you to return." Eve said with a smile looking at the young girl in front of her, hoping that she understood Eve's intention of trying to save her from the mother's siege.

"Ah thanks for telling. Then excuse me.." The girl said as she walked past the mothers.

"Ah yes, hurry there, son Jasmine, do not let Mr and Mrs Kim wait long."

"True, right, say our regards to them, son of Jasmine."

While walking towards Eve, the girl looked at her while moving her lips without making a sound while saying thanks, then bowed her head slightly and walked towards the outer door.

"Son, do you know their family?" ask one of the mothers.

"No Madam, I'm just a worker in this church. I'm sorry Madam." I said with a smile and left the mothers.

After the service is completed it is our duty to be able to tidy up all the equipment after the service is finished and clean the worship room.

"Hi, do you still remember me?" said someone standing in front of me while I was cleaning the altar table.

It turned out to be the young girl I saw last week in the middle of the church garden.

"Hallo, Miss who was last week in the park? I'm sorry that last week I was disrespectful to interrupt your conversation." I bowed a little while apologizing to the girl.

"No, no. It is precisely I who should thank you for helping me apart from the Aunties. My name is Jasmine, and your name is?" said the girl while extending her right hand.

"Eve" I said as I shook his hand.

"Are you a new worker here? Looks like you're not real here, where did you come from?" tanyakanya.

"Right, I'm from Indonesia and just moved here 3 weeks ago."

"Do you know my family Eve? Ah, it's not that bad, it's just that since last week I was wondering how did you know that time I came with my parents?"

"I'm sorry Miss, I don't know Miss's family. I was just here and it just so happened that last week that I came out of the park about to go to the prayer room, I saw Miss getting off the same car with a Mr and Mrs, I saw Miss getting out of the same car, so I thought they were Miss' parents."

"Don't apologize Eve. They are my parents. Sorry, I'm not talking formal."

"No problem Miss." My smile.

"Call me Jasmine." He said with a smile.

"Jasmine. I'm sorry, but I still have to continue my work, I'm sorry first." I said as I lowered my head and walked into the worker's room.

The following week, Jasmine greeted me again after the service and invited me to accompany her in the park because she had to wait for her parents who were talking to the head pastor in the headmaster's office.

"Eve, do you want to be my friend?" ask Jasmine.

"Of course Jasmine." Answer Eve.

"Then come by my house sometime. Follow me talking at home. Ah or we can do other activities outside the house." Jasmine said with excitement.

"May be." Answer Eve.

"Then give me your number, I'll call you when my driver leaves to pick you up tomorrow."

"Pick me up? Tomorrow then? Don't bother you, Jasmine. Just give me your home address and what time I can get there, I can get there myself."

"But Eve, it'll be faster if my driver picks you up."

"No, no, Jasmine. I can go alone. Or not just be me there?" I squinted my eyes with a smile.

"Don't! All right, I'll give you my address. But promise me, tomorrow you'll come?"

"I promise." I said with a smile.
