Even though I had returned to my reality in Bekasi, my thoughts were already out of sync between my work and the preparation of my marriage to Ray. As if I were not allowed to relax, every morning I had to prepare extra energy to handle the two responsibilities at once.
When I'm at work, my mom and aunt Maria will interrupt me over the phone. Ask this that. One example, did I go to Taylor who mentioned aunt Maria what not.
"Hunter there, let it be immediately sewn. If you want to go home to the office later directly there, aunt has asked to keep it open specifically for you," that's one example of the insistence I faced.
It's still about the wedding dress. Not to mention the building, invitation, sovenir, catering.
I was too excited despite getting married that seemed rushed like this was never on my bucket list. But I am grateful that my mother, future-in-law, my sister and my future husband are very much able to work together for this.
Ray never scolded me when I complained of exhaustion. He's very patient. Even willing to go back and forth Bandung - Bekasi if I really need it, even though it is not a weekend.
Even in this narrow time, the Rayshaka family that is so masterpiece indirectly shows who they are. How powerful they are. How wide their network is.
Just imagine, for our wedding hall, which was appointed by aunt Maria, previously there were people who had booked the magnificent place on the same date as our wedding date. But when he heard the name of Ray's family, the building management was willing to give us the booking - and it was not trite, without thinking about the people who had gone before.
So will our MC show later. He already had an MC at another event on our wedding date. But because Clara asked, she canceled her schedule and agreed to be our wedding host.
I can hardly believe it, it turns out that the bourgeois family like in the Korean dramas is real, which can realize whatever they want without having to experience difficulties. Because they have names, they have money. Although it does not seem fair, it is not to blame either. That's how we live.
Today, minus a week of our wedding. I had a weekend in Bandung. Aunt Maria asked me to stay at home to double-check everything together.
Believe it or not, the preparation is 90 percent! Just three weeks!! Mama and Aunt Maria really worked well. As I recall, I only take care of my own kebayak, others they take care of. I'm confused to be happy or not happy.
"You want Sour dear Sally?" ah yeah, me and Ray are going out to the mall. After the affair with aunt Maria was over, we took the time to watch in the cinema. There is a new movie that is booming and Ray wants to watch it.
"You want!"
Ray pulled my hand towards the corner of Sour Sally who was in front of us. He knew I liked the snack and had memorized the variant I liked. Black Sakura with chocolate and coconut toppings.
"Look, baby," I received a cup of medium-sized yogurt from him. We enjoyed it in the lounge provided.
"Next week we're husband and wife. You're stubborn?" ray asked while biting his yogurt bud.
"not yet. But don't know later if it's been H min one day."
"That means I'm the only one who shits."
"Why??" I asked curious.
"Yes just nervous. Want to make a wedding vow. Afraid I'd forget to fit in front of the altar."
I laughed while cleaning his lips.
"I'm sure, baby, you'll remember. If you forget, look me in the eye, there's a cheat there."
"Hahaha ... It could have been my dear this," Ray pinched my cheek in a fit of anxiety.
"By the way, you're actually going to resign from Nagata?"
"Yes. Why sweetheart?"
"Are you ready to enter the family company?"
"Actually when you're ready, it's been a long time, baby. But like I said, I don't want to be underestimated and not experienced. Especially those who become my subordinates later many who have white hair. I don't want to be considered a snot."
I nodded my sign of understanding.
"But you will be the director or still from the bottom again?"
"Not really down. Because in Nagata I have been at the Manager Area level, later in papa company at least I will be placed at that level as well, or one level above it. Learn first from Clara. If it can be all, then papa just let go of his position."
"That's mean will take years too right? "
Rayshaka nodded.
"Good."
"Good why, baby?"
"I agree that you went through the process at the company before you became a director. So that when you are in that position later, no one can drop you because you think you are the leader of the carbitan."
"Yes dear. Thank you for all your support. You also have to prepare yourself. Maybe your life won't be this comfortable anymore after marrying me," Ray rubbed Kaina's head gently.
"i know's. I've been scared since the first time you brought it to that luxury house. I know your family is no ordinary family. But when I found om, aunt and brother Clara who was so sincere in accepting us, I was relieved. If your family accepts me for who I am, that's more than enough, dear."
"Thank you dear. This is why I love you so much ..."
Kaina laughed sweetly, "I love you too, my dear."
Ray then regained his senses and glanced at the watch in his hand, "Eh, have you started yet to film? Come in yuk."
"Oh yes. Ten more minutes. Come on."
Ray and I quickly entered the cinema studio.

The wedding invitations of Rayshaka and Kaina have been spread. Right now, the news seemed to be a warm conversation of everyone around Kaina. His friends in Ariana, his friends in Nagata, gave him congratulations. All were happy, although not a few were clearly expressing their jealousy. But Kaina knew enough that they were just kidding.
By marrying Kaina, it means she will also resign from Ariana. He agreed with Ray. There was no way he would work in Bekasi while Ray would settle in Bandung, continuing his papa business.
And today, is Kaina's last day at the office. The news of his resignation also co-sponsored the office commotion today. It was like a sudden decision, but it was not. He's been talking to Mr. Willy since Ray set their wedding date.
This afternoon he cleaned his desk. Tria and Ariesta were heard starting to pull snot to hold the sadness.
"Your work spirit is yes. Don't watch Korean dramas at work. Later, Mr. Willy continued to grumble."
"That's delicious. You are also often. Just recriminate!"
"Sttt ... already. The important thing is, finish the work first just watched. Okay?" Kaina mediates.
A box of his personal belongings was ready to be lifted. Tria and Ariesta hugged her in turn.
"Remember, must come to Bandung!"
Tria and Ariesta nod, promising to attend Kaina's wedding in Bandung.
As the three walked out of Kaina's room, they were suddenly startled by the sound of an eruption, followed by a blow of trumpets, and fragments of invoice paper pieces flew through the air.
"Surpriseeeeeeeeeee !!"
I don't know since when the office kids get together to make a surprise for him. Because Kaina didn't hear any commotion at all. Including ... when the balloons that say Farewell Kaina' are stuck on the wall?
"Surprise ..." Tria and Ariesta also suddenly laughed excitedly. Both of their tears had vanished without a trace.
"Ohhh .. So you're just gimmicks crying. So that I may long get out of the room. Huuuu!!"
Tria, Ariesta and the others laughed out loud.
While getting caught up in the euphoria of the separation they prepared, Kaina's eyes accidentally rest on someone standing in the middle doorway. Located on the side of the door with his left shoulder, both hands are placed on the chest and one leg is bent slightly.
The girl was charmed and did not get tired of praising the man's good looks. It feels always in love every time he sees his perfect physique.
Rayshakas. Her husband-to-be.
The man waved his hand and threw a sweet smile as Kaina realized his whereabouts.
"Eh, there's her future husband," I don't know who realized it first, who must have all eyes turned to the doorway.
Rayshaka himself was shocked and misbehaved.
"Tell me here, dong Kai, get to know us."
Kaina asks Ray to join her. At first the man refused, as he had no intention of ruining the event. But rather than being arrogant, he joined and greeted everyone, even if only briefly.
Kaina again felt her heart fall again for the man. Falling deeper.

I'm flattered to know that Ray wanted to pick me up at the office this afternoon. He said he knew I was going to baper because of the breakup, so he wanted me to have friends. Though as far as I was this morning he was working in Bandung.
Before returning to my rented house, we stopped at a place to eat. Said Ray was hungry. Earlier on the road to Bandung he did not want to stop at the place to eat because he wanted to eat together with me. My future husband always managed to make me feel like I got to the clouds.
We ate at a Chinese restaurant that I heard was quite tasty and famous in this area. I don't really understand the menus let Ray choose. I need not doubt the taste of his 'rich' tongue.
When the food arrived, I also had to teach Ray how to eat it so that the taste was not lost. Maybe if it wasn't Ray, I would never have stepped foot into this expensive and prestigious place.
After we finished our meal to my contract which I also started cleaning. Fortunately, my stuff is not too much because there is more luggage than there is a contract.
"I'm staying tonight."
"Yes dear."
I'm not surprised anymore. Ray would rather stay at my place than in an apartment. Especially if he arrived at Bekasi already late. He said it was more comfortable to sleep on one roof with me even though he had to sleep on the sofa and I was in the room, rather than sleeping in the apartment but alone.
Whether I'm lucky, or I just don't know, there's never been any gossip circulating around my neighborhood even though anyone's seen Ray's car parked in my yard all night. But even if there were, I wouldn't be too bothered about it considering tomorrow I would move out and not see them again.
As usual, after the two of us finished our bath, we spent time chatting on the sofa. I talk a lot in an adult way. After that I'll go into the room and get Ray a blanket and pillow.
"Darling?"
I who was ready to walk back to the room turned my body again.
"Yes baby?"
"I .. want to sleep together."
My eyes are enlarged. Want to sleep together, he said? He was joking, just teasing me.
"Darling, don't start" I said, pinching her cheek.
"I'm serious," Ray suddenly pulled me to sit on his confession.
"Nggg ..." I think of the best answer as rejection. If we sleep together, I'll probably be kissed.
"Why? Never been either, right? "
"Yes but .." I gestured to the neighbors left and right.
"What do we do in the room? I don't want the first night."
"Ih Ray, so frontal. Bring it the first night of everything."
The man even laughed. He knew I was always embarrassed to discuss such a topic.
"Come on ..." Ray stood up while carrying me towards the bedroom. I can't refuse. My heart was pounding imagining what would happen after this.
My feeling is never wrong. What say? Two hours since we entered the room, he did not stop attacking me with his intoxicating kisses. Fortunately, since dating him, I've been a pro too, so I'm not overwhelmed by it.
Basic Ray... Just beware that married he got tired of kissing me.
