Sorry, We're Not in line anymore

Applying for Girls in Warung

Time keeps passing. Fate has brought me to Hira. The woman who made me fall in love for the second time.

Yep. I chose him, to be my soul mate.

I want to express my intentions, to Hira.

"Hira, there's no time tonight. We eat together yuk, I want maem chicken noodles at the intersection of 3 km 10 Bintan Center," I said via whatsapp message.

Before long, Hira replied to my chat.

"Can. But, pick me up Mas," he replied.

"That's spoiled, anyway" I said again, teasing him.

"No, if not picked up. Lazy," he answered.

"Haha. Yes, baby, I'll pick you up" I said.

He just read my chat without replying.

Before I met the girl, I asked Subandi for his opinion.

Instead of being given an opinion, he just agreed and agreed. You fuck him up!

"Honestly Mas Bro, it's right, Mas Bro choose Hira. I agree to wear it. Because I'm sure Hira is your destiny" Subandi said trying to convince me.

"So when was the proposal, Mas Bro." asked Subandi curiously.

"Later tonight." I replied.

"Hahaahahah. Steady Mas Bro this yes, play it live-play aja. Fish a fish cork. Faster is better" said Subandi, still talking through whatsapp messages.

"But, Mas Bro, I can not follow ya, later tonight there is a dinner with the Ratna family," explained Subandi again.

"Hm. GR. Who invited you, anyway. I'm gonna go bedding Hira alone. Then later on the day of her marriage, you come yes. If you do not come, at first you will fire me as a friend," I said still at length, talking to Subandi via chat.

"Haha. Could be this Mas Bro," said Subandi while affixing emoticons people laugh.

"Yes already. I am still on vacation this afternoon. Vacation. Monday just got to work. Doain, my show is calling Hira, success is Bro" I told Subandi again.

"Yes for sure dong, good luck Mas Bro, the best prayer for you," Subandi concluded.

Let my brain fresh. I took a nap. Because tonight, I have to prepare my body and soul to propose to girls.

Oh yea. Before that, I called my brother and my sisters. Mbak Fika, Heru, Andin and Dirma. I'll tell them if I want to get married. Tonight, the show.

"Mbak Fika, ask for a prayer. I want a proposal tonight," I said to Ms. Fika in Surabaya.

"Master? What does this proposal mean?" mama asked Fika confused, when I called.

"The proposal is the point." I said.

"Eh is jerky (crazy-red). Marriage proposal?" obviously he.

"Yes dong. The time I was told to hang out for life. Fika has a husband. Heru has a wife. Andin has a husband. Dirma has a wife. Lah me, piye?" Yo if there's a girl, I marry dong," I said at length.

"Hmmm. There's a girl already. Suddenly I want a proposal. Basic beef jerky (crazy-red)." said Mbak Fika behind his mobile phone.

"Let's try where the girl is. Beautiful isn't?" ask Fika again.

"Beautiful but little. Ahhhhhhh!" I said giggle.

"Send here a picture of your girl" asked Ms. Fika.

"Wait yo. But don't be bullied if I send." I said. Because I know for sure, Hira will likely not be said to be beautiful as Ms. Fika.

Indeed, compared to Sabrina. Hira is far away. If it goes up, Sabrina gets a score of 90. Hira gets 60. Ahahaha!

How I still remember him. I promise to forget him. Why should you remember him, anyway!

"What beauty is Sabrina?" ask Mama Fika.

But, I lied. I'll just say, pretty Hira. Anyway, Hira is my future wife. So, I have to say Hira is prettier, and she's everything to me.

"Seriously you're applying tonight?" ask Fika again, as if not believe.

"Yes, seriously dong. Ask for prayers!" I said enthusiastically.

"Yo wis then. Hopefully smoothly. You can just send a prayer from here," said Mbak Fika ended his conversation.

Impatiently, waiting at 19.00 wib. Because I promised to pick up Hira, at that hour. Yep. It took another hour to stop at number 7.

Getting to 19.00 wib, my heart pounded. Like a high school boy waiting for graduation.

*dreett! Dreetts! My phone's vibrating. I made sure it was from Hira. Is correct. It was from Hira. I opened the chat message.

"Pick up at what time. Let's get ready," asked Hira.

"wait. In a moment, yes, Mas on the way," I replied.

"Okay, baby," she replied. My heart is happy, with that call.

Wear parfume.

Then, gas into Hira's house. Arriving there, on the porch of the house, I saw Hira had stayed in a long-sleeved blue shirt, with sky blue jeans.

"Kok we're compatible, yes," my god.

"Yes yes. We didn't make a deal" he said.

"That means we're meant to be together" I said spontaneously.

"Ih time anyway Mas," said Hira, as if to protest me.

"How to try if not a soul mate. Why also I pick up kayak gini," I said put on a face pretending emotions.

"That's a baper," he said, giggling.

"Yes you are naughty. I like to make emotions," I said, still pretending to be emotional.

"Hmmm. Sorry deh. Promise not to repeat again," he said as he climbed into my motorbike. Then, without hesitation, he hugged my waist tightly.

"Eat chicken noodles, right, we baby?" ask her.

"No. Not so. Not hungry" I said.

"Ih. I'm hungry to know. Did not eat. Waiting is treated with you, Mas," he said spoiled.

But I'm still testing it. What if I am angry. Is he angry with me too?

Turns out he's gentle. The person is not easily emotional. Looks like he's the right person for me, and also the mother-to-be of my children later.

"Eat it myself." I said sewot.

"Ih. Don't be mad dong, same me. No pity on me. Hunger from this afternoon. Because I know to be treated, so I do not eat." he explained at length.

"Haha! Kasian!" I said bully him.

"Ih. Just buy me!" his insistence while pinching my waist. Not just pinching it. He tickled me too.

Action him, make me not focus on bringing the bike.

"If we fall, we both sleep in the hospital" I said.

"What. His mouth is obscene" he said as he pinched my waist again.

"Your abbot from earlier made me ticklish, so can not focus on carrying the bike," I explained.

"Yes already. Excuse me. Cepetan. Hungry for this." he cried.

"Call us yes" my challenge.

"Don't darling. I fear. Relax," she asked.

Before long, we also arrived at the soto shop subscription. Warung Pak Man's.

Sotonya, highly recommend. There's a claw that's most liked by Hira. If I don't like the plug too much.

"Close your eyes dong. I want to give Hira something special. But, I close it first yes, with a cloth." I said ask permission.

"I don't want to. Emang begirat. Cover all eyes. It'll be a-apain." he said.

"No. Sure.deh. Just a moment, baby." I said reassure him.

But, after I insisted, he allowed me to close his eyes.

"Be careful not to be weird," threatened Hira, but not serious.

"No, honey. Just a person for a moment. I opened it, "I said again.

Yes I purposely brought a small but rather long cloth. Closed his eyes. Then, I placed a small box containing a ring, 24 carat gold, weighing 4 grams, in front of him.

I put the little box, open on top of it.

"Wait a minute, eat soto. So the blindfold should be opened," I said.

When she opened her eyes, she smiled happily, as there was a jewel ring beside her plugged-in soto cup.

"Damn. This ring must be expensive to buy," said Hira, flattering.

"Oh yes dong, this is for my future wife. Nope good? I hope he likes it" I said.

Simultaneously, Hira's face turned frowning.

"Oh you just want to show off and ask for my opinion, good is it, this is the ring?" ask him to grumble.

"Haha. My wife-to-be is when you don't know. Her first name is H." I said making her even more upset.

"I'm home. Not funny to know," said Hira rose from his seat about to leave the stall.

"Eh wait. Dear. Your name is H. Who else if not you," I said trying to seduce him, and I pulled his hand so he could sit in front of me again.

He just kept quiet. "Yes I proposed to you, dear Hira. I've been in love with you ever since we met, today, tomorrow and forever. I want to age with you. Keep me company, baby, until the world doesn't comment" I said poetic.

Again, Hira was silent. But, before long, he shed his tears and accepted my proposal.(continued)
