PRETEND POOR

BLESSING FROM PAK WIJAYA

"What about my appearance? Does it look excessive?" ask Gita.

Rei looked at Gita from top to bottom. His clothes are still polite but still elegant. "So attitude inside, yeah. Fear you'll act silly, Papa will reject our marriage."

Gita smiled stiffly. "Don't worry, sir. I can act sweet, really."

"Are you still going to call me Mr Rei? It sounds weird to two people who want to ask for marriage's blessing."

Gita rolled her eyes lazily. "I once called Father 'Honey' he said laughably. So what do I call Father?"

"Call names, call Rei."

"No way, sir. It sounds disrespectful."

Rei pinched his forehead. Already in the courtyard of the house, they stayed down and entered, but instead argued only because of the matter of the call to sound familiar to the ears of the people. "About what is suitable? Don't call too much that makes me want to vomit."

"Darling?" Gita asks Rei for his opinion. The man nodded, not wanting to be called that. "Lad?" Rei still looked dislike. "Darling's? Oppa?"

"It doesn't seem like any call that sounds good to hear."

Gita sighed. He thought for a moment. His brain was looking for a call that Rei could receive but sounded friendly. "I'll just call 'Mas! It seems to be the most Indonesian. You give me a load of thoughts to make me dizzy!" groused Gita.

Tok tok tok tok

The glass door next to the Gita is knocked from the outside. Rei lowered his window glass. The one who knocked was Ruby.

"You guys why don't you come down? I've been watching you in the car." Ruby looked strangely at the two people. He had just come home with Melvin because his father said tonight there would be dinner with Rei.

Gita smiled stiffly at Ruby. It felt so strange to meet that woman again but as Rei's future wife. Once they get married, they will become brothers-in-law. Gita could not imagine what it would be like to have a brother-in-law.

"Gita, down, yuk!" bring Ruby.

"Ah, yes. I'm going down."

Gita opened the door beside her. Though the discussion with Rei is not finished but Gita prefers to go down first and go inside with Ruby.

"How many months is it?" tanya Gita looked at Ruby's increasingly bloated stomach.

"This is about to go into the sixth month. It looks big, doesn't it?"

"Yes, probably due to twin pregnancies. But your body still looks small, only the stomach is protruding."

"Hahaha .. really? Though I always felt my cheeks grow softer."

"I don't think you look very pretty even though you're pregnant."

Melvin who was trailing his wife from behind with Rei could only sigh. Every day he tried to praise his wife, saying she was very beautiful whenever Ruby asked because she felt ugly during pregnancy. Melvin's words are not believed, he said he was a liar when he said he was beautiful. He was the target of a blow when Ruby was upset. Seeing his wife smile happily when Gita praised him, Melvin became a little upset. His wife believed people's words more than her own.

"Related, want to marry her?" asked Melvin in a soft tone.

"If I'm not sure, there's no way I'm taking him to see Papa."

Mr. Wijaya welcomed Gita's arrival warmly. They gathered in the middle room in a family atmosphere. Rei had already told Gita about it to her father. He said he wanted to marry that woman. Of course Mr. Wijaya was quite surprised but also happy. Rei, who seemed no longer interested in marriage since breaking up with Livy, now brought back his chosen woman before Mr. Wijaya.

"Rei, why do you want to get married so quickly? At least your wedding should be celebrated festively, unlike Ruby." Mr. Wijaya sighed as his son said that getting married simply was enough. Maybe he was inspired by the marriage that Ruby and Melvin did.

"Maybe they've slept together, Pa!" sahut Melvin's.

Rei glanced sharply at his haphazardly speaking brother-in-law.

"Well! Papa doesn't know any more about the boy's courtship style now." Pak Wijaya bobbing head. "Well, if that's what you want, tomorrow we go to KUA to take care of the wedding."

Ruby was married to Melvin after she caught a kiss. Rather than obscenity, it was finally married in a simple manner. Not yet had time to do a party, his daughter was already pregnant and her stomach was enlarged. However, the planned party will still be held.

Rei is the same. Instead of waiting for a long time but Rei's future wife was already pregnant, it is better to marry first even though it is only valid religiously and state.

"Gita, is it true that you don't have a family anymore?" ask Mr. Wijaya.

"Really, Om. Since childhood, my parents never introduced me to any siblings. My mom and dad were both orphaned single children who were wading from the area. When my father and my mother died, no relatives came to say their prayers."

If Gita has a brother, she can't be confused when there's a problem with her stepmother. All this time he survived on his own as a child. Only the mercy of Ririn made him still able to endure.

Pak Wijaya. He only made sure about Gita guardianship when married because in their belief it is very important to determine the validity or absence of marriage.

"Gita, Rei didn't force you to get married, did he?" ask Mr. Wijaya again.

Gita's cheeks are red. If you have to speak honestly, Rei did force her to get married quickly. However, he himself was also impatient to live with the man who became stingy to the touch. "No, Om. That's been our deal."

"Well, if that's your deal, there's nothing more to dispute. Tomorrow Papa will take you to marry in KUA."

"Let's get some more news, Pa. I'm the only one at home whose info can leak" Ruby said.

Mr. Wijaya thought about it again. What Ruby says is true, she doesn't really like her family's life exposed in the media. Frenetic news about Ruby that ever happened he hopes to be the last time.

"Ruby has a point. Then, your marriage will also be carried out in this house. Papa will contact KUA, RT chairman, RW chairman, and lurah this area."

"Sufficient documentation from our side, Pa .. first because Mr. RT took part in taking photos so spread the news. Good thing Ardi is a good person who can muffle the news that is circulating." Gita is still upset with the RT Chairman of the complex.

"Yes, this time Papa will be even more strict in selecting guests who come. Gita can also invite friends, but if that keeps a secret."

"Good, Om."

"Oh, yes, Pa. How about Ruby's wedding reception for Rei and Gita?" melvin.

"Ask your father and mother, Vin."

"They're not a problem, Pa. Rei was also my sister. Tomorrow they will also come to Rei's wedding. Isn't that right, Rei?"

Rei nodded confirming Melvin's words. As a child who was once well cared for by the Melvin family, he also did not forget to give news about his wedding plans.
