My Mr's. Virgin

Chapter LXIX

The crane! The crane! The crane!

The sound of the wheel friction and the asphalt floor was so loud that Andreas jumped to the edge, when a bicycle almost broke it. His face was sour when he saw the paddler who was sad like a rotten clam.

"Hi, Lord of the Virgin!" Mariana waved her hands after both of her legs landed on the asphalt floor.

"You were like a frog. 🎶 Jump the Frog jump 🎶." He sang cheerfully after quipping Andreas, while chuckling lightly.

The man slapped his leg. Growled.

"Ouch!" mariana

Andreas fixed the backpack on his shoulder, then set a thousand steps leaving Mariana.

"Hey, wait!" shouting Mariana. However, the man simply closed his ears. Mariana then sat her bicycle blocking Andreas' path. The man's footsteps stopped.

"You are, one way fast. I just talked to you to wait."

"I'm tired of waiting." Andreas's tone of voice sounded soft, containing an implied meaning.

"Ai .. not even five minutes, it makes you tired of waiting. How am I supposed to wait for you to show up for more than two years? It's rooted my ass." Mariana's question made Andreas mute a thousand words.

"Get it!" mariana's orders.

"What's okay?"

"Flight aircraft. You are, of course, riding a bike, to? Otherwise, what else goes up?"

"don't want. I'm more willing to walk."

"Why?" Mariana returns to pedaling her bicycle, when she realizes Andreas has left her.

"Fear of riding that butut bike of yours. I'm afraid my legs won't be able to walk anymore."

"Ih, you are .. If you don't want to, yes, you have. The distance to the church is still a long way, you know? One hundred thousand cm."

"You're talking like I don't know the way to church." Mariana was just sad.

Silent. The girl pedaled the bike slowly beside Andreas. They march. While paddling, Mariana was engrossed in looking at the ring that was sheathed on her ring finger.

"Beautiful, huh?" tanyakanya.

"could. I'm tired, you know, going around the market just to buy that ring."

Mariana laughs. "She was very shiny."

Andreas' nose is blooming when he gets a compliment.

"Borrow your sunglasses for a minute." Mariana reached out to pick up the glasses perched on Andreas' pointed nose, before the man could dodge.

"I'm happy to see this ring for my eyes to glare," he said, wearing the glasses he had taken.

Andreas did not answer. He had run out of words to argue with the Kribo Mariana. Along the way to church, Mariana kept chattering.

"When was the house built?" he asked, pointing to a new house he had first seen.

"Oh, here has been built got. That's good, if it's not here, it's muddy when it rains." Mariana is like a deer that just entered the village. I was shocked to see the village change.

"Eh, you are, like a deer just entered the village, o! How long haven't you been to church, e?"

"Add, less, times, for, it's been almost four years" replied Mariana, as she took her bicycle in front of the churchyard.

Andreas just shook his head at Mariana's reply. When the first day they met, Mariana intended to participate in social service activities OMK, after a long time did not participate in activities. However, he got a WhatsApp group message, that the activity was postponed next week. That is why, he went roaming on the beach, and ended up watered by fish water, then met Andreas.

"You got the letters I told you yesterday?" ask Andreas.

Mariana nodded. "There, Boss," he answered.

"good. Come, in!" bring Andreas.

However, Mariana's footsteps came to a halt in front of the entrance. Suddenly, Mother Dita's face incarnated. Still rang the words of the woman who questioned her eligibility to enter the church.

Dita smiled mockingly, walking up to Mariana who was still standing beside her bicycle.

"Cis, the holy-spirited lady. Try to look in the mirror, do you deserve to go to church?" After insinuating Mariana, he passed away carrying with him a triumphant smile.

Mariana's tongue is stingy. Unable to answer questions from her mother. He's still glued to the spot. His knees were no longer boned. Weak and powerless. Slowly he returned to pedaling his blind bicycle leaving the churchyard, as the church bells echoed three times.

"You go in, I'll wait here. If there's anything, call or chat."

Andreas stared at the black bead, trying to find the meaning of his words. The sorrow that tried to be shielded behind the smile that was engraved on the lips. Andreas sighed. He then flicked Mariana's forehead making the girl moan in pain.

"If I go in alone, who am I on the marriage list with?"

"You have a letter ...." Mariana's words were cut off when her arm was restrained, as she tried to retrieve the letters stored inside her sling bag.

"Kribo!" Mariana raised her head.

"There is no holy man in this world. Ever since the first man fell into sin, we have been nowhere and unworthy to stand before God. But God is forgiving. He always accepts who comes to Him." Mariana remained silent.

"A father makes a feast, butchers the best pet, even invites everyone to attend and revel with him, as the long-lost youngest son returns home, after the boy lived outside, fiddled until his wealth ran out and fell into poverty.

You know what that means? The father's sense of joy is greater than the grief he harbors as long as the child is gone. It is recorded in the Bible, the Parable of the Lost Child.

Again, a shepherd has a hundred sheep. As he herded his sheep back into the cage, he found only ninety-nine. One got lost in the woods. The shepherd was very sad over the loss of that one. He went out to find the lost sheep in every corner of the forest.

After the discovery of the sheep, he returned to make a feast, so that everyone would rejoice with him, for he had found his lost sheep."

Andreas took a deep breath. Her lungs were already deprived of oxygen due to too much talking.

"So don't consider yourself unworthy! But come to Him because of your unworthiness!"

Andrew made the sign of the cross on Mariana's forehead, grabbed her hand and pulled her in. Mariana wept, before following Andreas' footsteps.

Two church attendants were waiting, smiling to welcome them. After a brief chat with the two officers, they were told to fill out a marriage registration form.

The officer said that the wedding preparations were less than six months. This is only the first step, the next will be told what to do. Same with their wedding registration fees.

According to church policy, marriages should not take place during Advent (before Christmas) and the Easter season.

Andreas counts using his fingers before filling out the form. Still ringing in the ear of Om Sina's message yesterday, that the wedding must take place immediately. He glanced at Mariana, while showing the calendar on his phone screen.

"Today's June 1, so, let's pick this date" Mariana said, pointing out the date on Andreas's phone calendar. The man agreed.
