After a debate between Lingga and his family, the reception was cancelled. Today the two will hold a simple ijab qobul event, and only invite the closest relatives. All invitations have been cancelled. Despite the redundancy, Vallery has no regrets.
"The beauty of our bride, so want to follow."
Vallery immediately turned his head and found Patricia and Nick standing at the door of his room. Both of his best friends look harmonious using the outfit with matching colors. Spontaneously both of Vallery's eyes narrowed, his brain wondering, did he see wrong? But it didn't seem like, even if they observed the expressions of the two, they already didn't look awkward to each other.
Very straight up. "you guys? You okay?"
With his arrogant face Nick laughed, then slipped his fingers between his fingers Patricia fingers and then grasped and lifted him up high.
"Who's fighting anyway? Yeah, no, babe." Nick pretended to put on a face of not understanding and took Patricia into the room Vallery. Patricia laughed lightly while nodding.
Vallery clearly snorted at their behavior. "Babe?" beonya's sniffing, "so you guys are dating?"
"Yes that. We're a laid-back couple, yeah, so pick a date first."
"Seriously? But I'm so happy" I'm honest, he hugged Patricia and Nick. He was happy because of his happy day, his two friends had gotten along and even chose to date. He's also happy.
"So, can you tell me a little bit about why you guys are going out? I'm sorry, but the show hasn't started yet."
Nick laughed in disbelief. "How did you start? Under the rame guest invitation bokap lo kali, Valle."
"What's important is I haven't been told to go down, right?"
"Lo's not tense, Valle?" ask Patricia suddenly.
"Well, that's it, I'm really tense. That's why I need your stories to digalihin' with me."
Nick suddenly raised both hands. "Gue ogah if told a story."
Very nodded no problem. "No papa, if that's all, Pat."
"Gue unplug, want to start eating. I don't think it was breakfast yet. You want me to take it, babe?"
"Anjir, i-you? I'm goosebumps, Nick shits it. Plis, if I wear the same lo-gue as usual, don't use me-you.
Vallery immediately exclaimed in excitement as Nick suddenly changed my-you call to Patricia. The man even made his tone sound very soft.
"No, I had breakfast before I picked you up." Patricia shook her head and told Nick to get out.
"Lo's lyrics!" reply Nick cuek. He then just walked out of Vallery's room.
"Are you really dating?" ask Vallery kepo, after Nick completely left his room.
Instead of directly answering Patricia instead smiled while putting on her mysterious face. This made Vallery snort while turning his face away.
"It still feels weird, Valle, saying we're dating. I'm not used to it."
"When did you guys get it?"
"Salem."
Very laugh. "Still anget-anget tai cat, dong?"
Patricia glares dislikes. "Vallery, iih, lo's parable, no one's bagusan little what?"
With his casual face, Vallery shook his head. He then told Patricia to start the story immediately, because he was worried that the ijab qobulnya event might begin soon.
Flashbacks
Patricia stands restlessly in front of Nick's apartment. Walking back and forth while biting the end of his nails. Every now and then the two neutrals glanced at the circular watch on his left arm, ******* frustratingly audible every now and then. He stopped his footsteps suddenly, his body suddenly stood up straight, one hand raised about to press the bell, but a feeling of doubt suddenly appeared. The girl clucked while sighing in frustration once again. He did not even realize if a man realized his movements earlier.
"Go home to gu-"
Patricia stopped her muttering, as someone standing behind her suddenly pressed down on the bell. He turned around and smothered his mouth with a surprised expression, even so surprised he almost fell if the man did not hold his body. Patricia's heart felt like it wanted to jump out of place.
"People who have a house do not exist, yes" said the man assumed.
Patricia snorted while keeping her body away from the man. "Lo crazy?"
With his dramatic pretentious face, the man nodded. "Yes, I'm crazy because of you. Move aside! I'm so excited, I want to take a shower!" His tone of voice was suddenly a little faint and a cynical look.
"Yes, I went back, yeah. Sorry-"
"Patriyas! You already have no chance to avoid," said the man, who is none other than the occupant of the unit aka Nick.
With her flat face, she let Patricia in. The girl looked hesitant, this of course made Nick's patience start to thin, impatiently, he pushed her in.
"Gue said you haven't had a chance to dodge, Patricia! Don't run away, don't you get tired?"
"Nick, I-I"
"Gue want to take a shower first, can you make me boiled noodles? I'm laper?"
"Lo hasn't eaten yet?"
Nick nodded. "But I don't think you have."
"No, I-I-"
"Gue wants to too, Pat, not make you doang," said Nick quickly, cutting Patricia's speech. Without waiting for an answer, he immediately rushed towards his room.
Patricia was in place. His gaze was straight looking at the door of Nick's room which was now closed tightly, the feeling of guilt was increasingly running from him. Feel worried. He doesn't know what to do. Should he just walk out of Nick's apartment while he's still in the bathroom?
"Don't try to escape while I'm in the shower!"
Nick's bedroom door suddenly opened and the man narrowed his head while warning. Patricia sighed while nodding a little forcedly, after which she resigned and immediately cooked boiled noodles according to Nick's order.
"Udah mateng?"
"A bowl of both concepts?" ask Nick when he just found a bowl of noodles on the table.
"Lo'll eat, I'll diet" replied Patricia.
"Let's be assumed to be hungry you use any diet?" cycled Nick.
Patricia was silent.
Nick goes silent, the man pretends to focus on the boiled noodles in front of him. As if not feeling awkward or anything else, despite the fact that the man was as restless as Patricia. Even he himself was sure that he did not chew his food properly.
The two remained silent even when Nick's bowl was clean. The two dissolve in their minds, which is heard only the sound of the television that Nick deliberately turns on to kill silence, he does not even know what the show is aired on television.
"May I start asking, Nick?" This time Patricia finally opened her voice.
Nick breathed a sigh of relief after Patricia opened her voice, she then nodded. "Please! Anything that disturbs your mind, you can get out. I'm ready to shove."
"Lo sure you feel the same?"
Without a doubt, Nick nodded.
"But we're a cementan?"
"A enemy can be an enemy at first and someone is up to marriage? Why can't they?" Nick asked in a flat tone.
Patricia sighed. "But I don't want our relationship to be so awkward when sem-"
"Don't precede destiny, man's duty is to live, try, and do his best. We may be able to plan, but God is decisive." Nick turned to look at Patricia, "so you plan to?"
Patricia silence.
Nic sighed. "Gue change my question, Pat. As long as we know and know, you've never seen me as a man who can make your heart pound, not as a temen lo doang?"
"Nick," call Patricia in frustration.
"Jawab, I just need that answer. I asked you how you felt, not what impact it would have on our relationship."
"Gue doesn't know." Patricia shook her head while covering her face with both palms, "gue confused, Nick. For me this all feels sudden, I don't know what to do."
Nick nodded when he saw it. "Look at me, Pat" he said, removing the palm that covered Patricia's face.
The two stared at each other intensely, Patricia suddenly nervous. As long as he knew Nick, the man had never been that way toward him. His heart was pounding abnormally, causing a strange sensation that he could not express. What's wrong with her? Inner wonders.
As he was deep in thought, unexpectedly, Nick suddenly moved his face. Patricia is getting nervous and limp, confused as to how she should react to Nick.
"Where? Are you still confused about your own feelings?" nick whispered in a stifled voice.
Patricia blinked, trying to neutralize the strange thump and was drawing up a sentence to reply to Nick's question. But he seemed to lose quickly, because before the lips opened their voice, Nick suddenly put his lips on Patricia's lips. The man does not taste or********, it is not a kiss, only the two lips are stuck together. It lasted a few seconds, then Nick distanced himself afterwards. He accidentally doesn't really kiss Patricia because he still values her as a friend.
"Where? Have you found the right timing for my slap yet? I think I need to take myself," joked Nick trying to melt the atmosphere, he even chuckled shortly after.
"Lo's not supposed to get a slap, Nick."
Nick stared at Patricia intensely. "Why? I almost nyium lo without permission, Patricia."
Patricia played the tip of her nails with her head down. "But you didn't admit it, did you?" he was avoiding the eyes of Nick.
Nick agreed. "Gue didn't mean to do it either, I just wanted to help you feel a lot."
Patricia nodded. "Yes, I know." He breathed while raising his face.
"So, what's the answer?" asked Nick kepo, his tone sounded impatient.
"Gue guess, without me telling you already know, right?"
Patricia turned her head while linking her fingers. Nick raised an eyebrow not too sure.
"meaning?"
"If I choose not to admit it through speech, what can I do?" ask Patricia for permission.
Without hesitation, Nick nodded. "Do whatever makes you comfortable, Patricia. Just so you know the limits," kekehnya later.
Patricia nodded in understanding, then without any hesitation, she immediately moved her face forward, and kissed Nick. With pleasure, Nick immediately replied to him of course. This time they really kissed and picked each other up, not just lips stuck like before.
Their breaths sounded dull after the charge came off. Nick laughed as he wiped the tip of his lips.
"Gue just found out that you have this side," Nick teased and kissed Patricia's lips once again.
"Same. I do too," replied Patricia timidly. *Even so shy, he covered his face with both hands. This made Nick laugh at him.
"If it wasn't for the same trauma of Vallery's experience, I'd have invited you to the room."
Patricia grunting. "Gue ogah lah*."
Flashback off
Vallery smiled happily after hearing Patricia's story. He was happy with this happy news.
"Congratulations to you guys, I'm really going along with the arts" said Very sincerely.
Patricia nodded and congratulated Vallery.
"Gue doesn't know whether to say congratulations or not, but obviously I want to do the best for you. May this remain your first and last marriage, happy with your future husband, Valle. If you have any difficulties, do not doubt us. As much as possible we'll help you."
Vallery nodded then hugged Patricia once more. "My brain yes, I can skip all this."
"Surely."
