VILLAGE GIRL BELONGS TO PRESDIR

KEBAYA BRIDE

"Who do you mean in your notebook, Arish ?" Melati looked at her son with a big question mark, out of curiosity and also worry maybe lately her son was a little moody and rarely went out of the room because he was heartbroken.

"Ma, that's my privacy." replied Arish did not like if Mama asked a lot.

"So you don't like Mama asking ?" Mentari scowled, he knew Arish his favorite son would not have the heart to see his mother sad.

"Ma, it's not like that" Arish said softly. "Let me tell you when it's time" Arish said again

"Promise me ?" point the Mentari with one finger.

"Promise my dear Mama !" Arish peeks Mentari at a glance. Then their conversation ended because Mentari had to take care of something that was not finished.

Arish sighed, he then took out his diary and put it in the bottom cupboard.

"It's over !" Then he dropped his body on the bed violently.

His heart rages, of course ! The person he loves will marry another man especially it is his own twin brother.

................

'I love You, Melati !'

Jasmine stared at the star-shaped necklace she placed on her dresser. The necklace was from the person who had been so good to him all along. Who else if not Arish.

Melati did not expect last night to get a surprise expression of feelings from Arish. She doesn't think Arish loves her. Then how could he reciprocate Arish's feelings, while he himself will marry Arash.

All this time he had considered Arish as his own brother, nothing more.

Long Melati kept silent in her daydream, she suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door of the room. Melati then got up from her seat and walked to the door and opened it. It turns out that the ones who came were Grand Ma Helena and Grandma Jamilah.

"Your daughter-in-law's granddaughter-in-law, let's try her wedding dress first" Helena said.

Helena and Jamilah are so enthusiastic and happy to see Melati who will soon be married to their granddaughter.

"You must be groggy, huh Ndok ?" ask Jamilah

Melati simply smiled, somehow explaining her current feelings. In the end she agrees to marry Arash because of Mario's request of her. Maybe what Mario said is true, it is better that he married Arish so that Mario is not shrouded in guilt until the end of his life.

After all Melati already considers Mario and Mentari as her parents, she is already comfortable in the arms of their small family. What else does Melati think ? If you remember the late father, not if the father will be happy and happy to see himself living happily without any shortcomings.

"Let's jasmine in the first try the danger. Grand Ma, ordered it a week ago, it must be a perfect fit for you." Helena gave the bride's kebaya to Melati.

Melati took it and decided to try the kebaya. After the kebaya was attached to his body, Melati came out of the walk in closed, making Helena and Jamilah amazed, because the kebaya really fit in the body of her future daughter-in-law.

"Perfect !"

"Life.beautiful !"

"Thank you Grandma, Grand Ma !"

Helena and Jamilah then invite Melati to sit on the sofa. Not just giving a bride kebaya, they want to give Melati wajangan to his future granddaughter.

"Dear, listen to Grand Ma. You're young, and you're still in school. Remember you will keep numbering your education."

"Of course the Grand Ma." Melati replied steadily.

"And one more thing, maybe this sounds a little sensitive to you. Take care of yourself and your body, for you are still in school. We don't want to be called great-grandmother, but you better postpone it until you're old enough to have children" Helena said.

Melati fell silent, hearing the words from Helena. Although he does not know the world of marriage, but he is a smart student. He knows for sure after marriage there will be a husband and wife couple sleeping in bed, husband and wife body relations.

Of course Melati is not ready for it, he will of course fortify himself.

"I know, Grandma, Grand Ma. Thanks for the advice. I will take care of myself." replied Melati gently, to make Helena and Jamilah breathe a sigh of relief.
