Waiting for Love for Me

43 WEDDING BLESSINGS

The Dimas car has arrived at the parking lot of a medium-sized two-story building that is neatly arranged so that it seems simple but classy. The pink-painted building with a perfect blend of sea blue is a cake shop owned by Indira, Darma's wife.

Dimas took Alila by the hand and stepped together into the glass door. Alila looked amazed by the atmosphere inside the shop. It turns out that it is not just a regular cake shop, but a semi-cafe that comes with some unique tables and chairs for on-site dining.

"Can you meet Indira or Kak Darma, mbak?"

Dimas immediately took Alila to the booking section to look for her brother.

"Mother and Father are on top. Sorry about who? I'll tell you."

"His sister."

The employee immediately contacted his superior with a shop phone. Before long, Kak Darma came down and looked very surprised to see the arrival of his sister and sister-in-law.

"Dimas, Alila...!"

Darma and Dimas immediately shook hands and hugged. Then Darma also shook hands with Alila.

"This surprise, how come no one told you before? When's coming?"

"Evening." Answer Dimas.

Darma codes with his hands, taking Dimas and Alila to the upper room to meet Indira and baby Sekar.

"Care, Dimas..! Is this true you guys got to this town?"

Indira holds baby Sekar and welcomes the arrival of his sister-in-law and his future wife. Then he let them sit.

Dimas followed Darma sitting on the sofa in the room, while Alila chose to sit on the carpet with Indira to accompany baby Sekar with many toys on the carpet.

Indira contacted its employees to deliver dishes for their special guests. And a moment later an employee came along with a tray of cold drinks and small cakes.

"So this means papa and mama asked us to have lunch at the restaurant today.." Darma said without anyone answering.

Darma looked at his sister who had been silent and only stared at Alila who was busy playing with baby Sekar with a smile and happy laughter.

Darma nudged his sister's arm with a mischievous smile.

"You want to marry her, right?"

Dimas turned his head towards his brother with a sharp look of eyes towards Darma.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer's short.

Darma patted his only sister's shoulder. In his heart he was proud his sister was mature minded and would overtake him in the household.

"Hmm.., it looks like lunch at the restaurant there will be serious talk."

Darma invites Dimas to join the others on the carpet while enjoying dishes from the Indira cake shop.

Not wanting to linger away from Alila, Dimas immediately sat cross-legged beside his future wife. Alila who saw the presence of Dimas next to her smiled and for a moment their gaze clashed with a warm gaze.

"I love you, Al.."

Dimas stole the opportunity to whisper as fast as lightning in Alila's ear which instantly held the embarrassment with a blushing face.

Dimas and Alila were satisfied to enjoy the delicious cakes presented by Indira, it was time for them and the Darma family to prepare to go to his parents' restaurant.

Previously, they were invited to stop by Darma's house located not far from the store. Just needing to enter the street beside the shop, they had already reached the house of big brother Dimas who was a hundred meters away from the end of the road.

Sambik waits for Darma and Indira to get ready, Dimas and Alila wait in the living room with baby Sekar who keeps laughing adorable in Alila's lap.

Dimas eyes never let go of the joy of his future wife who was very patient and painstaking carrying baby Sekar.

"Are you ready to be the mother of our children, Al?"

"Of course, Dim. Whatever it is, as long as I'm with you I'll always be ready to stand by you."

Dimas' heart shook and warmed to Alila's reply. His hand moved slowly touching the top of Alila's head and rubbed it gently, making Alila's heart feel the same vibration that was no less beautiful.

Alila sat baby Sekar between Dimas and himself, so Dimas could watch over his nephew. Occasionally his hands were also toying with that adorable little baby.

"Come, we're leaving."

Indira came and took baby Sekar with her.

"I brought my own car, Dim. After finishing from the restaurant, you can take Alila around the city first. While you're here take him for a walk to get to know the city."

Dimas answered with a nod of his head and took Alila out to his car, followed by Darma and his family. Then their car drove off from Darma's house.

At the restaurant, Darma and Dimas' entourage is greeted by papa and his mother who are waiting in the front porch. Mama immediately took over baby Sekar and invited him to chat merrily. But soon the little baby began to fall silent and fell asleep in his arms.

Papa invites them all into a special room that is usually used for meetings or family gatherings.

"All right, now we'll have lunch first."

Papa had started his lunch accompanied by his mother, who was followed by Darma and Dimas accompanied by Indira and Alila. While baby Sekar still sleeps soundly on his folding mattress that is always taken anywhere.

The family lunch was warm and full of intimacy. Sometimes Darma still harassed his sister who remained cold and did not talk much. In contrast to Alila who always try to calm down and blend in the closeness of the Dimas family.

"The groom-to-be is still as cold as the north polar ice. How can it warm the heart of his wife who needs attention.."

Darma always issued his nosy style when dealing with his favorite sister. It was not Dimas who reacted, even Alila who was smiling with a friendly gaze fixed on the future husband beside her.

"He behaves that way only to others, Darma. If you are with Alila papa, you will show a different attitude. Don't you, Al?"

Papa responds to Darma and starts a family conversation. He set his sights on Dimas and Alila who will be the main topic of the family meeting this time.

"Yes, Pa."

Alila answered papa Dimas's question with a shy face romance. Dimas who saw her immediately held Alila's hand on the table and smiled gently to calm her lover, then he started a serious conversation with a face that was no less serious.

"Pa, Ma, Brother Darma and sister Indi, I plan to marry Alila soon. I've chosen our wedding date and Alila's agreed to it."

Darma's unblinking eyes looked at Dimas who was clasping Alila's hand ever more tightly and smiled back as he looked at the woman's eyes before all of them.

He was still stunned in disbelief, his cold and stiff sister could be sweet and romantic to the woman of his heart.

"Darling, is it true that she is my sister Dimas..?!"

Darma whispers with Indira in search of the truth of what her eyes have just seen.

"Yes, she's your sister Dimas, your beloved sister."

Back on the topic, papa turned his eyes to his wife. They seemed to be discussing through the inner eyes. Simply by looking at each other and nodding their heads together, they have reached an agreement.

"When are your wedding plans?" Ask Papa.

"Two months left. Right in the middle of the month."

"Are you not too quick to prepare, Dim?" Darma looked towards Dimas and his papa.

"We want a simple wedding."

Dimas looked back at his future wife who was replied by Alila with a smile.

"Is there a specific reason why you chose that date?"

Papa is still exploring the reasons behind the selection of the wedding time of his youngest child.

"I want to marry Alila right on her birthday."

Dimas repeated the statement he had made this morning to Alila.

"Why am I so moved to hear it.."

Darma's eyes were slightly teary as he said softly to his wife. Indira who was also soluble in the taste of haru immediately stroked her husband's back.

Papa and mama who last night had seen the togetherness of the child and his future daughter-in-law was not too surprised at the attitude and attention Dimas so great for Alila. But it is undeniable, in their hearts they are also as excited as Darma and Indira.

After sighing long enough, with a calm and sincere heart finally papa gave his blessing to his son.

"Mom and Dad respect your good intentions. Next week, we will visit Alila's family and present an official proposal from our family. And you two can start preparing things from now on."

Next to him, my mother could no longer hold back her tears. The happy tears of a mother who is about to release her beloved child to enter a new chapter of life in a sacred bond of marriage.

"We also bless and pray that your good intentions will be facilitated and launched until they are carried out in time."

Darma and Indira also expressed their happiness with a smile.

"Thank you.."

Dimas and Alila spoke at the same time. Then they both stood up and approached Dimas' parents and his brother and sister-in-law. They embraced alternately in an increasingly warm and full atmosphere, decorated with happy tears.
