Saturday morning. Everyone is busy preparing for Susan's wedding. Except me.
I was busy polishing my face after MUA finished dressing Ms. Susan. Susan's wedding was held at a five-star hotel in the city. And we were in one of his rooms.
“Ah, my heart cannot be conditioned.” Adu Ma'am Susan while holding her chest.
The appearance is more graceful in a white kebaya. He seems to be getting more nervous in the days of kabul.
Marriage is something every woman dreams of. Me included. Yes, even if it's far from my plan.
For some reason when thinking about it, there was a Cloud that suddenly flashed through my mind. Instantly made my heart race very fast. My heart thumped to him.
Ah, considering the Clouds can really drive me crazy.
“Mbak, I'm going to the bathroom first.” My pamphlet to Susan's mother. Debaran in my heart makes me want to pee.
Out of the dressing room, I walked to the bathroom. On the way I met Mas Irlan who was holding his youngest child who was 2 years old.
“Where are you, Ra?”
“You to the bathroom, Mas.”
“Oh. Don't be long. The show will start soon. That's the groom's entourage has arrived.” Irlan told me.
“Iya, Mas.” I kissed the little guy's cheek that was carried by Mas Irlan for a while before passing by to go to the bathroom.
Finished from the bathroom, I was about to enter the ballroom where the event was held. But not so I saw the groom's entourage also berjubel at the entrance. I plan to wait quietly.
I stood by the wall leaning. Wearing high heels makes my feet feel less comfortable to stand for long.
“Hhh!!!” I was surprised not to play when someone pulled my arm from the side. I immediately stared angrily at the person who had dared to surprise me.
But my surprise turned confused.
In front of me, Awan was smiling very widely with his hand still holding my wrist.
Are you hallucinating? Do I miss him so much that he keeps wandering around in my memories?
“What are you doing here?”
The voice was so real it sounded in my ears. I'm sure I'm not hallucinating right now.
“Ra? Hey.” The clouds wave their hands in my face. Forcing my consciousness back.
“Awan?” I cringed in wonder in disbelief. It really is a cloud.
“You look like you're seeing a ghost.”
“What are you doing here?” My toot.
“Attending my cousin's wedding party.” Answer Cloud. He pointed towards the ballroom where his entourage was queuing in.
“Sepupu?”
So Susan's husband is Cloud's cousin? Gosh darn. What kind of coincidence is this? Even to meet the Clouds here only the percentage is very small. And this is cousin? I really can't say anything. Destiny is so funny that it always brings us together in unexpected times and places.
“Iya. Mas Mahli my cousin.”
“So, my cousin married your cousin?”
“That female cousin of yours?”
I immediately nodded.
“Wahhh.” The cloud later. There was a happy twinkle on his face.
“Why laugh?” Ask wonder. What's so funny?
“Not a funny laugh. But laugh happily because I met you.”
It's been. I'm sure my face is blushing and blushing now. The clouds smiled until they showed her dimples. I looked at some of the people who were looking at us.
“Woman! Come!” Shouted a man who knows who I don't know.
“Ayo.” The clouds invited me to come in.
The clouds asked me to sit next to him. And I obey him. I don't know why I dared to do that. I saw my mother who was also looking at me. Mother also glanced towards the clouds.
The marriage procession between Susan and her husband went well. With just a single breath, Sister Susan has legally become the wife of Mas Mahli.
“Are you imagining yourself there?” The whisper of the clouds surprised me. His breath was blowing in my ears. I did not dare to look back because I felt the face of the Clouds was very close to me.
“What are you talking about?”
“Jawab only.”
“Why should I imagine it?”
“Isn't that what every woman wants?”
“Entahlah. I didn't think about getting there. Not.”
“Why?”
“Already. Don't noise. You're intruding.”
I turned my head when I felt the cloud's head already drifting away from me. The man was smiling as he looked straight at the guarantee.
Again, my heart silently admired that smile. He looks sweeter in a batik shirt.
Finish the wedding ceremony, then continue with the meal. I told the Clouds to approach the mother who called me.
“Why are the Clouds here?” Ask mother. I accompanied him to take food at the buffet.
“His Siamese cousin Ma'am Susan.” My answer.
Mom looked at me for a moment. Yes, I certainly did not expect it either.
I focused on taking soto for myself. Then we walked to the table that my family sat at the beginning. I didn't see Mas Bhanu. I don't know where he went.
“Dad, want Ara to get you something to eat?” I asked the father who seemed to just sit still. I know you are reluctant to wake up because there are still many mothers in the buffet section. It's not just fathers who choose to sit around waiting for mothers to finish. But other fathers are the same.
“Soto it looks good.” Said Dad while looking at my sotoku bowl.
I smile. “Let Ara get it.”
I got up to take my dad's order. As I was about to return to our table, I saw someone who had already taken my seat. He was talking to mom and dad. They look familiar.
“This, Yah.” I thrust the soto bowl in front of my father. Then take a seat between the mother and the Clouds.
“So, there is a plan to continue where after finishing?” Ask the Clouds.
I try not to care. My ears are always listening. Even though my face was focused on staring at the soto I was eating.
“The plan is to go to MIT, Mr.”
“MIT it's not in boston, huh?” I heard mom chimed in too.
“Iya, Mum.”
“Ooohh.” I took the time to glance at the father who seemed to nod his head.
“Your plan is great. Hope not break up in the middle of the road, yes.”
“Thanks, Sir. Hope Ara still wants to wait for me to finish.”
“Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk!” I glanced in surprise at the Clouds. But the man just smiled and looked at me. It's really annoying.
“Hahahahaha. Apparently you're also serious about Ara.” Dad chimed.
I'm trying to give dad a code to stop that pointless chat. Because in the end, I can be my family's months again.
“But Aranya just thought kidding, Sir.” The clouds sounded like they were complaining to my father.
“Hahahahaha.” Mom is laughing too.
Finish me.
