Wedding On Paper

Proposal

This morning at Alex's father's house. Fira was engrossed in a video call with Bima, who has been living in Amsterdam for two months, continuing her scholarship.

Bara who brought a bowl of fresh cut fruit, he sat his body next to his wife and also chatted with Bima. Ask about his sister-in-law. Bara also certainly helped finance the cost of living his sister-in-law while abroad.

After finishing making a video call with Bima. Now Fira and Bara continue their conversation about the new house.

Because since one month ago Fira and Bara decided to buy a house in an elite area not far from the Bara office.

"Darling, if we move house next week, can I play in your office?" asked Fira, while enjoying the fresh pieces of fruit.

"Can't! Let me go home to see you every hour of the office break. After all, your doctor says you should not be exhausted, let alone travel often like that. Can't just." Bara stroked Fira's hair so anxiously. While Fira he could only pluck his lips.

It's been two months now that Fira and Bara have been living at Alex's father's house. Besides accompanying the father who lives alone because there is no Bima. They also decide to stay here, because there is Aunt Moly who always keeps and accompanies Fira when Alex and Bara go to work. While their apartment, just let it go. Sometimes Bara told Dion to occupy his apartment, but because Bara's apartment was quite far from the office, so Dion refused.

Because today is a working holiday. Merry was seen just sitting his body on a rocking chair in the backyard of his aunt.

After tired of cleaning the house from dawn, he also enjoyed a glass of juice while listening to music from Citra Scolastika - Every body new.

"Ah... a relief once, at eight o'clock in the morning my work is done all," muttered Merry, who was still engrossed in relaxing on a rocking chair made of rattan.

Suddenly a message notification came in on his phone, making the music he was listening to stop.

"Dion?" merry muttered, as the name appeared on the top screen of his phone. Merry immediately opened the incoming message from Dion.

[Merry, are you home? My mom and dad are forcing me to take them to your house later this afternoon, is that okay? It should be, because even if you forbid me, my parents will still be there.] - Dion.

Both of Merry's eyes rounded, and how surprised he was when reading the message, which could almost make his heart dislodged.

Merry immediately replied to the short message, with her hands trembling slightly as her heart suddenly felt like it was electrocuted. Which makes him unwell and heartbroken.

"Oh... What do I have to answer?" panicked muttering.

[But Dion, what are your parents here for?] - Merry.

Shortly thereafter a reply from Dion, Merry found him back.

[Applying, so be prepared, and and be as beautiful as possible, as you were last week.] - Dion.

"Oh my God, what is this! Why the more here the problem is getting wider. All this because of Dion, why should he lie to his parents. And stupidly again, why would I want to get involved in that guy's problem! Argh.. Oh God help me...." Merry grumbled indistinctly. His heart felt even more troubled, let alone knowing that the arrival of Dion's parents was to propose to him.

Merry immediately approached his Uncle and Tantenya who was busy watching TV while having a friendly flirt on the sofa.

"Tante, Uncle, there's something you want to talk about" Merry said as soon as he landed his body on the couch not far from his aunt.

"What? ... Oh yes, Auntie also forgot, yesterday morning her father Dion called Uncle, he said today they will come here. Later in the afternoon you get ready, yes" said Merry Tante.

"What! So auntie knows about that?" Merry rolled her eyes together as if in disbelief.

"Wait, since when did Dion's parents have Uncle's cell phone number?"

"When they first came here, last week when they picked you up to go to the wedding" replied the Uncle. Merry couldn't believe hearing it.

"Oh, what did you want to talk about?" connect Aunt. Merry quickly shook his head. And immediately ran towards his room.

"Oh my God, how is this, help me, please. Argh... Mommy, Dedy. Help me."

"Ah. yes, Mami and Dedy. I gotta call them right away." Merry quickly scrolled through her phone to look for her parents' contacts.

But he was increasingly surprised, when he found a short message through Emo, which is specific to foreign connections. 3 Emo messages have not been read by him.

"Mommy." Merry frowned, as he saw three messages from his mother. He opened the message immediately.

[Merry whatever your decision Mama and Dady here will still support you.] - Mami.

[Overnight your uncle and your daughter told you everything, if there really is a man who wants to keep you. Look at him in three things. Is he kind to his parents, is he someone who is responsible and hardworking, and look at him how in earnest in getting you.] - Mami.

[Mama and Dady next month will come home to see you dear.] - Mommy.

Merry grunted softly, as he finished reading Emo's message from his mother.

"What should be this way? .... Dion and I have no feelings .... Oh my gosh, my head feels so sick from thinking about all this." Merry dropped his body on the bed. The holiday that he hoped to relax and calm the mind, in fact, became the most stressful holiday for him.

***

Today's sunlight is seen hiding behind increasingly thick clouds. The atmosphere of the streets is so crowded, with fairly shady weather and a refreshing breeze.

In the supermarket, Fira and Bara are busy choosing a variety of fruits for stock at home. And accidentally they met his mother Dion, of course with Dion also who was busy choosing fruit parcels.

"Dion, Auntie," said Bara as she pushed her trolley closer to them.

Mama Dion and Dion turned to Bara. "Eh, Nak Bara, have not met for a long time," said Mama Dion who kindly greeted Bara, glancing also at Fira, who was standing next to Bara.

"Wah already want to have a child," he said while stroking Fira's stomach so gently. Fira just smiled.

"Amorning the monthly shopping, Aunt?" ask Bara.

"Huh? No, it's going to the girl's house."

"Girl's house?" Bara frowned in wonder.

"Ma, instead of Mama want to see the cake too, Mama just look at the cake, this let me just choose," said Dion, hoping her mother would leave soon.

"You know what this is about. Let Mama choose the fruit."

"What do you want to choose, Auntie?" ask Fira.

"Ah yes, can help me not, make a good fruit parcel to bring to the application."

"Oh fruit parcels for applications, this one is a nice aunt, looks more special than other parcel models." Fira pointed towards the fruit parcel, which was quite large with an all-gold and silver design.

Finally Mama Dion decided to buy a fruit parcel with the model shown by Fira earlier.

"Hey, who would you like to propose to?" whispers to Dion. Dion was a little confused, and forced him to lie.

"There are relatives who want a proposal, so Mama prepared everything," Dion replied with a bad heart to lie.

They went back to separate after Fira, asking Bara to go home immediately because she was suddenly dizzy.

"Luckily, Bara did not ask any more. Danger if they find out I'm gonna propose to Merry. Anyway, why did everything go this way!" inner Dion grumbled, while faithfully following Mama from behind who was still busy buying some food to prepare the proposal later.

Merry has now finished dressing himself with a long dres in mocca color with glitter granules that decorate his chest, and a natural makeup polish that makes it look much more beautiful and more mature.

"Merry... Dion's family has arrived, let's get out immediately," said the aunt who had stood behind him, looking at her reflection in the mirror.

"Yes Aunty, Merry is coming out soon" he said. The aunt came out of Merry's room first.

Dion was already sitting between his Mama and Papa, chatting with his Uncle Merry to melt this quite awkward atmosphere.

Next to Dion's knee was seen shaking, to the attention of his mother. "Dion, relax."

His father Dion also turned to look at his son who looked so nervous and groggy.

"No need to be nervous like that, look at your future fiance has come," said the Papa, making Dion spread his gaze towards Merry, who had just come down from the top floor.

The woman walked so gracefully. Again made both eyes of Dion gasp and amazed to see it.

"She is really beautiful" muttered Dion softly.

Merry also greeted Papa and Mama Dion, then he also sat his body next to his Uncle.

Come the Merry Tantenya who brought some drinks and snacks that will be served.

Dion and Merry looked at each other for a moment. Merry looked at Dion with a hard-to-explain look. While Dion, the man looked at Merry with a gaze full of admiration and fascination.

"Why does she keep looking at me like that, is there something wrong with my clothes or makeup?" murmured Merry, feeling uneasy.

Without lingering, Dion's father expressed their purpose and purpose here, which is to invite Merry to be his son's wife, as well as being the daughter-in-law in his family.

The feeling of thumping becomes so. Merry was so nervous, when he had to answer between yes or no. Because his uncle handed the answer to Merry.

"How's Merry?" papa Dion asked, waiting for an answer from the lips of the beautiful girl.

"Ah... geez, what should I answer? If I refuse, they can accept it. But if I say yes, then how will my relationship with Dion be in the future, we will just pretend" Merry murmured inwardly.

Dion was waiting for an answer from Merry he seemed tense and pounding, as if waiting for the graduation announcement alone.

"So?" asked Dion to vent.

Merry took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"I'm sorry, no" said Merry, as if it were hard to make this decision.

All of Rang was so stunned and shocked, hearing the answer from Merry.

"Merry.." the Aunt wanted to speak but Merry resumed her speech.

"I'm sorry, I won't refuse" he said embarrassedly, lowering his face.

"So? accepted proposal?" ask Dion's father. Merry nodded her head slowly. While condemning himself who can take this decision. Ah I don't know, whether this is a right or wrong decision, which is certain if in thought, Dion has included the criteria of the man's expectations. Though the love for Dion was still not in his heart.

The happy answer they now found, happy not playing, suddenly a rush of feeling in Dion's heart, as if to knock, making his heart flowery. The thing he never thought turned out, the woman who had taken his first kiss first, turned out to be really his partner.
