The Age Different Pairs

Chapter 24's

Returning to campus after ten days of pain was strange for Rara. Not because he's a final-level student who's about to graduate, but more. Feels different.

After consulting with her guidance counselor and refining the sketch of the dress that will be on display during the festival, she and Kim again hang out in the cafeteria, enjoying a different canteen meal than usual. Rara even spent two servings of batagor and one serving of fried rice. Not to mention the girl's two big gels of orange juice. Kim to his own astonishment, saw the appetite Rara big like this.

"Lo ain't no fuckin' Alvin yet, is he Ra?" kim said as Rara happily drank a second glass of orange juice.

"indiscriminately. I'm a heavy lager, you know!" rara replied, "During my illness, I can't eat quietly. My tongue is bitter."

"That means you get revenge by eating this much?"

"Fuckin' thick!"

Kim bobbing head. Rarely is Rara lusting after a big meal like this. But that means Rara's condition has been getting better, and maybe it will be better after the next few days. Usually if his best friend is sick, the time needed to heal can be a full month. Blame Rara who likes to eat sweet foods, even though it has been taught not to eat sweet foods too much because it can inhibit healing.

"Where are we going?" kim asked, "Gue is still available today for your nemenin."

"La kinda like a girlfriend. If people are horrified, it's wrong we're mistaken for a lesbian couple." Rara put on a horrified face that made Kim laugh.

"Eat him, occasionally bring Alvin, dong." Said Kim.

"He's school, honey ..."

"Well, you call me baby yourself." Reply the tomboy chick, "All right guys ngengep we to how, besides everything also know lo and I'm equally normal."

Rara grimacing. He sucked out his orange juice and removed the empty glass from before him, "Kim, lo. .. sure you don't want to see Mister Cha?"

"Why are you that?" Kim asked back.

Rara recalled the look on Mister Cha's face as she walked into the lecturer's room. At that time Kim did not come in because he wanted to go to the toilet. Just then Rara clearly saw Mister Cha's face that was more like an undead, pale, powerless. Fortunately, not all of them are lethargic and slow, it is like an advertisement!

"No. .., I just saw Mister Cha like a zombie. Not powerful." Said Rara.

"Oh ..," Kim was bearded, "No need to think. I promised him a month from now I'd meet him personally, solve both of our problems."

Rara quiet. She clearly saw a frustrated gleam in Kim's eyes, just as she had seen Mister Cha. The problem of both of them is not his business, but Rara also did not have the heart to see her best friend moping like today.

Because ... This is the first time a Kimberly Arden has fallen in love.

The mall became the choice of both of them to spend the day. Rara invites Kim to go to her subscription boutique and then they have lunch together at one of their favorite restaurants. The entertainment they can take today is indeed just a walk and lunch, but it is better than going all the way but not enjoying time with friends.

Rara looked outside, looking at the mall visitors who passed by from behind the glass walls of the restaurant. Because today is not a weekend, the mall is quite quiet even though it is not a cemetery.

"Ra, you got a model for the festival?" ask Kim.

"Still I thought," replied Rara, "Why are you nanya?"

"No way. Just want to know," Kim grinned, "Lo still my model, right?"

"Lo's been it many times and my answer is also you already know yourself." Rara rolled her eyeballs, somewhat annoyed by the repeated questions.

"Obviously I do it every day, every minute, every time. Festival is held again. Where can I calm down while you just haven't got a model."

Rara grimacing. Also true. The festival will be held in less than two months. And that means he has to move quickly to find a model. Not to mention due to yesterday's illness, he had to take a complete break and had not done half his work.

"Kim, you can help me get my dress, can't you?" said Rara, "Gara-gara sick yesterday I can not work out his finishing."

"No problem. For a week I've been at your house too late." Kim said, "Continue the groom's wedding dress?"

"Boro-boro. You know myself I have no intention ..., wait, why do you ask the groom's clothes?"

"Don't I ever say, mending you to be a model for your own dress and Alvin to be a male model? So you exam at the same time make the wedding ceremony at the festival later."

"Lo crazy. That's still missing." Rara Decak.

Kim looked up at Rara's expression, "Makanya Ra, follow my advice. Who knows, it might be useful. No need to have a wedding ceremony twice."

"Lo crazy!"

***

But emang really. Rara forgot she was getting married to Alvin at the end of the year, which is the mean, the month the graduation festival was held. Thinking about it has made Rara goosebumps herself.

The marriage? Imagining her getting married is like an accelerated hanging.

But ...

Duh, why now he is willing to marry Alvin?

Was it because he was comfortable with the boy? Or... Is there anything else that made him start accepting Alvin?

After a long walk with Kim, the two of them return home to Rara and start struggling with Rara's semi-finished dress. They both compactly do anything less and Rara gives clear instructions to Kim so that the dress should not be put wrong beads ato lace.

"Oh yes, Ra, if in this section mending given lace, or lo there is a translucent cloth? Like a veil cloth can also if you want."

Rara stopped her activities by putting a pearl-sized bead on the chest of the dress and glanced at the cloth roll at the end of the room, "It felt there. How much does it take?"

"Two meters is enough, if more, can be used as a decoration on the waist." Said Kim.

Rara nodded. He approached the scrolls of cloth and took out one large scroll for him two meters long scissors. She handed the cloth to Kim who swiftly cut it in half and sewed it on Rara's dress.

"After this stay make accessories," said Rara, "According to you fit this dress accessories what?"

"Wedding hood? You got white satin, right? Make roses out of it, and we make the hood look like a tiara, how?" advice Kim.

"May also."

"Thereafter it's for the groom's clothes" said Kim, "Lo has Alvin's size, doesn't he?"

Rara's activities immediately stopped, "Size .. body?"

"Lo never called Alvin to be a lo model?" Kim patted him on the forehead, "Ra, I told you, follow my advice."

"And I've also said that your idea is crazy" said Rara, "The wedding part of the festival has nothing to do with it."

"There was. You don't have to make the show twice" Kim replied, "Duh .. don't protest much, Ra. Mending now you call Alvin, ask him here to measure his body."

"Now?" Rara turned to look at the clock on the wall, it's been eleven o'clock at night, "Lo crazy tell the boy come these nights?"

"It's telling me to come tomorrow after he gets home from school." Kim said, "We should be gercep if we don't want the value to go down, Ra."

Rara bit her lower lip. What Kim said was not entirely wrong. But, when he was at the festival later he all held a wedding ceremony?

He hasn't even told his dad and Darren.

Kim looked at Rara's worried face and exhaled, "We've only got less than two months before the festival starts. You haven't said anything to Bokap with Darren?"

"Not ..."

"When are you home?" ask Kim again.

"Maybe two more days."

"Let me help you talk to you. If Kak Darren, you just contact Kak Lisa, it is certain that your insensitive brother will also come to the festival."

"Don't argue, Ra. It's been a lot of time. You'll also be married to Alvin, so all right." Kim said again.

This time Rara really died a tick. Can't say anything.

***

Two days later, his father came home from a business trip. Rara who was watching TV while snacking on potato chips in a big jar immediately turned her head when she saw her papa coming in.

"Tumben you're not going to college, Ra?" ask her dad, "Your brother still works?"

"Yes," Rara nodded, "Pa, can I say something?"

"Hm? By the way, Ra. Why are you looking at ghosts like that?" kekeh the papa while sitting next to his daughter and join plucking potato chips from a jar in Rara's lap.

"Ehm .. gini, 'the graduation festival will be held at the end of the year, and my marriage to Alvin will also be held at the end of the year," said Rara, "What ... do you want to have a wedding on the day of my graduation?"

Handoko Rezkina's eyes blinked at her daughter's words. The next second she was instantly stunned while Rara was biting her lower lip so shy.

"Papa did not think you would ask for it," he said, "Papa guess it must not be your idea."

"That was Kim's idea. She said .., well, don't make me feel ashamed, Pa!"

Handoko was still laughing. She stroked Rara's hair affectionately, "That's up to you. Your deal with Alvin too. If you are sure, Papa will ask Papa's assistant to rent your campus hall building for a wedding ceremony."

"Papa's party agrees?"

"Papa also want to see you wear a wedding dress" said Handoko, "Yes obviously Papa agreed."

Rara just grinned wide. Between relief and nervousness. If he were to, he would not be able to pull his words. One problem is over, and now he has to tell Alvin about Kim's plan.

And tell Alvin it turns as simple as turning the palm of the hand. With his leisure the young man agreed to the plan and was willing to be measured by Rara to make the groom's clothes.
