Next day.
Rey and I are officially a couple. Now we both have returned to the room leaving our closest relatives who are still busy chatting while enjoying the treats provided.
We decided to go back to the room because Rey was no longer strong standing or sitting for more than 1 hour to welcome our families who had attended the wedding this is very simple.
"Slow down" I said, helping Rey sit by the bed. I threw him into the room.
Now we are officially a couple, but somehow we feel awkward. Or maybe I'm the only one who feels that way, while Rey's sister doesn't. I don't know why either. Before, I felt ordinary when I was near him.
"Can you please lower the AC temperature? I'm feeling a little sultry" said Rey.
"Eh? I think the temperature of 21°C is pretty cold. Do you think it needs to be taken down again?" I asked Rey. I feel a little confused.
"Oh. Then there's no need. Maybe this suit makes me sultry. Looks like I need to open it now." Rey said and opened her own coat without asking for my help. Usually, I do have to do everything for him.
Somehow the atmosphere became clumsy between us after we officially became a couple. Though before I had never seen Rey look wrong this way, even before she had amnesia.
For a long time we were both silent and sitting on the bedside. Not knowing where to start the conversation. Until I decided to change my bride's kebaya with more comfortable clothes.
"Where are you going?" Rey suddenly pulled my wrist as soon as I stood up.
I did not answer immediately, instead engrossed in staring at each other with Rey's sister. Today I saw something different from her look. I don't know what it is? I can't explain it in words either. Anyway, it's a lot different than Rey's stare lately. Usually he often looks at me with a sharp and cold gaze, even often he makes me upset with unreasonable requests.
"I'm-I'm .. I want to change clothes," I replied a little nervously. There was something that made my chest beat erratically.
"O-oh. Then ... Go get changed." Rey said as she let go of my hand. It seems like he's no less nervous than me.
I then went into the bathroom. In the bathroom, I found it difficult to unzip my own back, so inevitably I had to ask Rey for help to help me lower it.
"Mm .. Can I ask for help?" I was a little shy.
"Solicit what please?" ask Rey.
Right now it turns out he still looks at home sitting in his original place. Before he asked me to go into the room, he said that he did not feel strong enough to sit any longer. I thought he would lie down and rest as soon as he got into the room, but he didn't.
"Please help me to lower my kebayak zipper," I replied while looking down in shame.
"O-oh, then .. then turn around. I'll help you put him down."
"Can go back and forth a little bit, I can't reach him" Rey said. Without saying anything, I immediately moved backwards following his instructions.
I started to feel Rey lowering my kebayak zipper, but it seemed like her hand movement stopped right in the middle of my back.
"What's wrong?" I asked when I felt Rey's sister even raise her zipper down. Looks like the zipper's stuck. But how can it get stuck? Kebaya is made by a famous designer. Ah, I don't know. I don't know why either.
"The zipper's a little stuck. I'll try to fix it for a second" replied Rey.
After he had lowered it for a while, finally my kebayak zipper was able to go down smoothly to the bottom.
"Thank you" I said as I ran into the bathroom. I'm sure Rey must have seen my back covered only by a bra hook. But it's okay if he sees it. He is now my husband.

It didn't feel like it was night, and now all the members of Rey's extended family and Gilang's mother and father had gathered at a long dinner table for dinner together.
"Bah, Mah, Om, Aunt. Seeing Rey sitting side by side with Kei as a newlywed couple, Andra suddenly wants to get married too." Brother Andra suddenly just chatted to break the chatter of some people who are currently sitting at the dining table.
Not a few who laughed at his chirps, including me, Rey's sister, Laras, there are also several others. Another case with aunt Dona and om Doni, as both parents brother Andra and Laras, and papah Reza as the younger brother of om Doni.
"Navy ... Andras. You're this. If you want to get married there must be a bride candidate first, if there is no candidate, who do you want to marry?" tanya om Doni responded to her son's words.
It seems that he considers that his son does not have the power. But as far as I am concerned, a few days ago Brother Andra wanted to declare his love to his secretary. Don't know if they're here now or not. I never asked Andra about it either.
"Yes, Ndra. Papahmu's right. You know that you have been single for a long time, because you are just too busy with work. Have you met a suitable woman to be a future wife?" This time it was Aunt Dona who asked her son.
"The same Father does not need to worry, Andra now has a boyfriend," replied Andra. His face looks radiant. That's a sign he's feeling very happy now.
"Ndra, if you already have a candidate, Om suggests, you should bring the girl to meet with Papah and your Mamah, so that it can be selected suitable or not to be the daughter-in-law of the Bagaskara Family?" added papa Reza.
Bagaskara is my grandfather-in-law's name. Papa Reza and Doni. Both children and their three grandchildren use their names behind their own.
Uh, what did papa Reza say? A selection? It seems like this family is quite strict in choosing a mate for their daughter's son, because they have to pass the selection stage.
But feeling, I entered into this family without passing any stage of selection. Why would Andra's future wife have to go through this stage? Bizarrely. If deliberately thought, what is the difference between me and the girl chosen by Andra's sister? Why should we be treated differently?
