Wedding On Paper

The Buntuti

Time passed by, tonight was the last night for Fira and Bara to stay at this villa. Because tomorrow they should be back in Jakarta.

Selly was busy preparing dinner with mama Vienna and Lisa. Selly returned to stay here, from three days ago, during the wedding of his grandson, Dori.

At first Selly wanted to invite Merry too, but Merry was having a job interview, so he could not come back to this villa.

"The village is in good condition. Before going to bed and tomorrow before leaving, don't forget to take the vitamins" said Dr. Andre, who just finished checking Fira's condition.

"Thank you doc." Dr. Andre escorted the doctor out of the room. Then quickly Fira got down from her bed, and went out following Bara.

"Where are you going?" bara asked, who turned to approach Fira.

"Em.. It's dinnertime, let's go downstairs." Fira was struggling next to Bara's arm so spoiled. They walked exactly 2 meters behind Dr. Andre.

"Do the doctors want to go home?" mama Vienna asked so kindly. Doctor Andre nodded.

"Then, before we go home for dinner first," asked Mama Vienna. And the trip was led by Papa Hito, to join them in dinner. At first Andre's doctor refused and made Bara join him. And finally, inevitably, Andre's doctor also joined the family dinner.

"Mas I want shrimp," said Fira, pointing towards the prawns of the pasture sauce which was quite a distance away from him. Bara also took it.

"Spend to let our children be full inside" Bara said. Because it has been a few days, Fira is very difficult to eat, even if he never ate it.

"Let's see the doctor at the meal. This is more." Vienna weeds chicken stew on doctor Andre's plate. She smiled embarrassedly to accept it.

In the middle of the meal, not a few of them chatted with each other. Even Mama Vienna was a little more kepo to doctor Andre.

"Oh yes Doctor, where did you go to college?" ask Vienna.

"I used to study at UNTAR Aunt" replied Andre. Not to forget Mama Vienna also asked about the convenience of studying there. And Andre answered with pleasure.

"It was not in vain that Mama enrolled Lisa in college there. You hear Lisa, medical school isn't as bad as you might think" Vienna told Lisa.

Lisa was just grumpy, because in fact she was not interested in entering a medical university. However, somehow his mother was so ambitious that Lisa wanted to go to medical school.

After dinner. Selly was about to clean the dining table, and take one by one the dirty dishes that were on the dining table. Dr. Andre and Lisa also helped.

But when Selly was about to take a dirty dish used chicken stew, suddenly inadvertently Andre's doctor was about to take it. Making both of their hands momentarily rest, and making them look at each other, before Selly retracted her hands quickly.

"Ehem...." Lisa cleared her throat, looking at the sweet scene she saw.

"Oh sorry, let me. The doctor can just go home" said Selly nervously.

"Eh, sorry that he meant that he could just take a break without bothering to help," he said confirming.

"Oh my goodness, Selly, what did you say just now. Did you shoo him out subtly huh?" inner Selly, while looking down embarrassed and refocus piled up dirty dishes.

"Em.. okay," said Andre, and soon passed to the living room to say goodbye to everyone, including Fira and Bara who were sitting enjoying the night breeze on the terrace.

***

That afternoon as usual Bara went home first from the office. Because it has been a month now he often goes home quickly before office hours end. And part of the work he left to Dion. Fira and Bara have been living in Alex's father's house for a week.

That afternoon, Bima was climbing into a mango tree in her yard. Because from noon Fira wanted mango fruit in the yard of his house. And can only be quoted after waiting for Bima to come home from his internship.

"Sister Fira don't stand there," cried Bima daro above.

"It's okay, let me catch him Bima," cried Fira from below, waiting for the mango to be dropped from the tree.

"No, if you're still standing there, I won't bring you the mangoes." Finally Fira chose to wait in the chair on the terrace, rather than having to stand while hearing the babble of his sister.

After finishing picking some mangoes, Bima immediately came down from the tree, and picked up the mangoes lying on the ground.

Suddenly, a motorbike stopped next to their yard which is where the motor vehicle passed. A man got off the bike and pulled off his helmet.

"Bim," call Adit, who turns out to be a colleague at work.

"Eh Brother Adit." Bima. For a moment Adit turned his head and greeted Fira. Fira greeted Adit kindly.

Adit came to give a flash containing some jewelry designs in it to Bima.

"Thank you, brother, sorry for the inconvenience" said Bima while receiving the flash from Adit.

"It's okay, relax." Bima also invited Adit to enter, but Adit refused. But before he says goodbye, Adit gives something to Fira first.

"Congratulations Fir on her pregnancy, may you be as healthy as the fetus continues. Here, I bring strawberries .. she said pregnant women like the cool ones," said Adit, while thrusting a bag of fresh strawberries to Fira.

Fira who was so tempted by the red strawberry, he could not refuse. "Thank you, yes" said Fira, accepting it with great pleasure. Then Adit said goodbye.

But before he got on his bike, he crossed paths with Bara, who had just got off his car. For a moment the two of them exchanged glances, with a difficult gaze to understand.

Fira who knew the arrival of Bara, he immediately gave the bag containing strawberries to Bima. Because he knows, if Fira receives direct gifts from others let alone men, Bara will certainly be jealous and angry with him.

"Your mother is home" said Fira, widening her smile. But not with Bara, who momentarily glanced towards Bima.

"Why was he here?" ask Bara, suspicious.

"That's, delivering a flash for Bima, all giving strawberries," replied Fira.

She momentarily scrunched her forehead. "Strawberries? For whom?"

"Huh? Make Bima, time for me," said Fira, widening his smile, then immediately invite Bara to go inside and leave Bima just like that.

"Come, I. too," muttered Bima, shaking her head slowly.

After finishing cleaning up, Bara immediately went down to join the afternoon meal together. Everything was prepared by Aunt Molly, because since she knew about Fira's pregnancy, Molly was so careful and overprotective to Fira. Even when Fira came down the stairs she always watched him, afraid of anything happening to her beloved niece.

"Fira, don't eat too much shrimp" Molly said. Fira just nodded while blasting her lips.

"Oh, you eat this." Aunt Molly offered a plate of steak that was covered with so much soy sauce. Fits Fira's favorite. Fira finally ate it so well.

"Where are the five mangoes?" fira asked, after he finished eating and sipped water.

Fira was about to go to the kitchen to get the mango, but Aunt Molly stopped her and she herself took it for Fira.

"This, already aunty peeled," said Molly thrust a plate of young mango that has been cleaned and cut into pieces.

"The one from the front?" ask Bara. Fira.

"The five who took it?" Fira again nodded her head as she continued to devour the once-virtuous chunks of young mango on her tongue.

And suddenly Bara stood up, and passed towards the TV room. For a moment Bima and Father Alex stared at each other while shaking their heads slowly. One house person already knew of Bara's far-reaching attitude changed after Fira became pregnant. Bara becomes a person who is so jealous and possessive of Fira.

"Sister Fira," call Bima slowly to Fira who is still enjoying her young mango.

"Sister Fira," he called again slowly. Fira momentarily looked towards Bima. And raise both eyebrows.

"Hurry up to take care of your husband, do not get me wrong again," said Bima. Fira also momentarily turned to look towards the living room, seeing Bara who was sitting alone watching a TV that was not clear spectacle.

"Get it. Always do!" Fira clucked and immediately passed to Bara, carrying a plate of young mango that was half left.

"Darling," called Fira sitting beside Bara while straying the plate on the table.

"Mas, are you angry again?" tanya Fira put on her innocent face. Bara was still speechless with an annoyed feeling in his chest.

"Mas, Bima just helped me pick up mangoes only really," said Fira explained.

Bara is still silent. He was so upset, because Fira always relied on Bima instead of him.

"How many times have I told Fira, if you want something to tell me, don't ask Bima for help!" said Bara slowly, but full of emphasis.

Fira took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. "All right, I'm sorry. Next time I will ask for your help, and will not rely on Bima anymore" said Fira, trying to persuade her sulking husband.

But Bara still swooped his face. "Here you go, you'll definitely repeat your words" he said in a flat tone.

Fira was singing her lips, either way she had to persuade her husband not to get angry. He also realized that this often repeated and he did.

"It's a shame to see your father won't forgive Mama" said Fira, wiping her flat stomach.

"Papa dear, sorry Mama same Om Bima yes, if Papa is not sorry Mama, later Mama can be sad loh...." Fira said that she imitated the voice of a child, like a child who persuaded his father to forgive his mother.

She threw away her face while smiling a little. Seeing the behavior of his wife who could always melt his heart.

"Alright come here, tell your mama next time don't make the same mistake. Papa doesn't like it!" said Bara, rubbing Fira's stomach. Fira smiled too. And buried her body in her husband's embrace.

"Haih.. it turns out this is like having Kaka-in-law who is too possessive, his own sister is still jealous," muttered Bima from a distance, shortly after seeing Fira and Bara who had improved.

"In a relationship there will be a time like that, later also if you have a wife, you will feel that way," said Alex's father. Bima just sighed.

***

That night, Fira just finished making a video call with her two best friends, Merry and Selly. Both of them have worked as interns in a company. Selly is in a private company, while Merry interns at one of the Private Banks.

Now Merry just got out of the bank after finishing with his daily evaluation meeting. He usually comes home at 21:00 p.m. But tonight he came home at 22:30 pm, because last afternoon there was a mistake from one of his colleagues, so that the impact on all staff and bank workers there.

All his co-workers are home. Today Merry did not bring his bike because yesterday the bike suffered engine damage. So that makes the motorbike it must spend the night at the motor service worker.

"Huft." as usual, he murmured, walking along the side of the highway. Hope there's a taxi passing by or there's an ojek offering it.

But, the atmosphere tonight feels so different than usual, it feels quieter and the shops around have closed all, too, even vehicles that pass by can only be seen one or two vehicles. Away behind Merry were two men with tall, large bodies, wearing jackets and all-black hats.

As Merry grew increasingly distraught, her heart skipped a beat as she looked back, and found two creepy men following her. Merry further sped up his pace hoping that they were good people.

But the more Merry sped up his pace, the two men chased after him. The sound of increasingly clear footsteps made Merry even more frightened. Until he decided to stop his steps right in an alley to the wet market.

"Who are y'all? Why are you following me!" Merry spoke in a slightly trembling voice.

"Relax baby, we are here just to accompany you" said the two men.

"You're alone, Bebby?" One of them pinched Merry's chin slowly.

"Don't touch me! Or I'll scream!" As Merry grew more and more frightened, both of his hands he crossed to cover his chest. Slowly he retreated and when Merry turned around was about to run. One of the men, grabbed Merry's hair so that it bounced back.

"Don't, please don't hurt me, I beg you." Merry was really scared, he didn't know what to do. Even her tears had flooded both of her cheeks.

"Please! Help me!" Merry screamed as loud as possible. From far away, the same woman was walking alone. Merry tried to ask the woman for help, but the woman hesitated and instead turned back and ran while screaming for help as well.

"Hey! Fucking shithead!"

Bugh, Bugh! ....

Crc! ....

Someone out of nowhere had suddenly attacked the two men. Even one fell bouncing on a pile of wood in front of the building shop.

"Damn it! How dare you!" One of the villains who had fallen, he got back up and was about to attack the hero. But before the villain attacked, the hero first kicked the criminal's chest, to make the villain fall and coughed blood out of his mouth.

Merry was still sitting down limp, because he was still in shock with the situation. Both of his legs were bent while in a hug. Lips vibrate. Her tears incessantly continued to flow, flooding both of her cheeks, even making her vision blurry.

"Are you okay?" The voice of this man, so familiar in Merry's ears.
