Owner of Heart #1
Chapter 4
Today is Bang Eddy's wedding day, which means the day I get to meet the Lieutenant, hehehe. Be happy? Clear, tense? Banget, can't wait? Definitely! Anyway, just a little mixed. From last night I have prepared the clothes that I will wear today. A simple light blue dress with knee length and long sleeves, I even learned to wear impromptu makeup from Mbak Asri, my soldiers who have a salon next to the house.
My face, I make up simple and thin so impressed natural, my straight long hair has now been transformed by Mbak Asri to be a little wavy and look thicker, thicker, complete with a beautiful imitation gem bando loaned by Mbak Asri from his salon. For the last time I ate my reflection on the glass.
“Perfect... hihihihi.” I smiled with satisfaction at my appearance that day, all I needed to do was wait for my invitation to come, and I was able to meet the Lieutenant!
But all my efforts to look beautiful that day failed miserably when my best friend Arga Dewantara from Junior High picked me up with her blue Scorpio motorcycle! As a result, I had to wear training pants behind my elegant dress so that I could sit on the bike comfortably and the hair of the masterpiece Mbak Asri is now back leek under the helmet.
“And I told you yesterday, I want to wear a skirt today. instead of bringing a car.”.
Right now I'm in the back corner of the building behind a Styrofoam triplex used by a congratulatory wreath to open the training pants I was wearing. (If there's something, why don't you replace it in the building's toilet? Hmm, the toilet is inside the building and I don't have the confidence to barge in let alone be heard from outside if the event has started, so this is where I am… behind a quiet building.)
“His car was worn by the same father Mother to the invitation as well. Not yet?”
Arga held the styrofoam with his back so as not to fall.
“Bentar... don't nod!” I shouted as I pulled the sweatpants off my feet after opening my beloved white wedges.
“Your tips don't have any benefits, Key.”
“Emang have useful tips?”
“Then.”
“What's wrong?”
“Ngintip buyin food ma temen but forgot to pay.”
“That's nitip!” I said while coming out with my hands carrying the red training pants that I gave Arga to put in his backpack.
“Where, Ga?” I stood in front of Arga while tidying up my dress and hair.
Arga's eyes assessed me from top to bottom, then nodded, “Lumayanlah 7.5.”
I smiled satisfied with that value because the highest value Arga ever gave me was 8, it was also the wedding time Kak Dimas dandan from dawn in the salon.
“Come on later the food runs out!”
With my chest pounding I walked beside Arga towards the Bhayangkara building where the reception took place. Inside is still ongoing procession of sword pora is a military-style procession to welcome and honor the bride.
Arga and I huddled together to see the procession with the beautiful sword formation. Bang Eddy looked gallant in his full military attire walking under the shade of the sword formation of his comrades, his comrades, armiya flanking the bride's hands that look beautiful with green kebaya looks compatible with Bang Eddy's uniform.
My head was in a daze looking for someone who was my second reason for coming here, but I didn't see him anywhere. I saw some of my Oasis friends gathered not far from us. I poked Arga and invited him to gather with the others.
“From earlier?” ask me to Mira who looks beautiful with her pink kebaya and ¾ white pants.
“Engga, new coming too.”
I nodded and again combed the room looking for a tall, well-built figure of the Lieutenant hoping to see him among the invited guests or perhaps among the soldiers who were doing the sword muttering. But I don't see him anywhere.
“Not come his power yet,” whispered Mira made me look at him.
“Mas Yudha,” he said while smiling ignorantly made me smile shyly, “Macet times it became late.” I nodded in agreement, but still my eyes were still combing everyone in the building owned by the TNI AU looking for the Lieutenant.
The procession of the sword of debauchery was completed and the two brides were already standing with bright smiles on top of the assurance of receiving congratulations from their snaking comrades waiting for their hands. But I, Arga and the Oasis friends prefer to queue in front of the food stand scattered inside the building.
“The bride will not go anywhere just put her hands if you want to go home, now eat first,” Agus said as he walked to the inauguration table followed by the men, and now she is eating first, while women prefer to storm the snack stand-stand.
But this time I didn't really enjoy the food and the reason was nothing else and not because until now I haven't seen the Lieutenant anywhere.
“Not exist?” ask Arga while drinking mineral water.
I shook my head in response while breathing heavily. Arga did know the reason I actually came here in addition to congratulating Bang Eddy, also because he wanted to meet the Lieutenant who turned out until the event to be finished - not yet visible.
Arga had even tried all the food provided there! When it comes to eating he is a champion but does not know where all the food is because his body remains thin even though as much as he eats, and it makes me very envious!
“There are affairs times.”
“Iya times,” answered me while standing followed by Arga to join the others to congratulate and say goodbye to Bang Eddy and his wife.
“Photo first, yuk!”
Bang Eddy asked all of us for a photo together, without waiting for us to directly line up next to the bride and groom, some were crouching in front.
“Key, here, Key.” Bang Eddy told me to stand next to him.
“Yudha, again task out,” whispered Bang Eddy made me look at him, “Her departure is advanced from the previous schedule, so can't come.”
I just nodded with a disappointed smile.
“She sends greetings to you.”
Instantly the disappointed smile immediately turned into a wide bright smile, and the camera's flash was on.
“One more time!” the photographer made us get ready.
“Abang give no phone you same him, just wait for sure later contact.”
I immediately looked at the disbelieving Bang Eddy who only smiled as he blinked one eye before looking back at the camera.
The photo show has finished I am now greeting Bang Eddy who is still smiling seductively, and when I want to greet the bride, Bang Eddy whispered something to his wife to make the beautiful woman who is now his wife immediately look at me with sparkling eyes. He hugged me while whispering.
“Yang faithful yes wait for another task country.”
I'm sure now my face has turned red hearing that, with a shy smile I nodded before finally getting off the lawn, and coming out of the building with a sparkling face.
