Wedding On Paper

Perfect Marriage - Chapter 30

As usual this morning, Selly returned to his daily activities, working as an administrative staff at the regional general hospital. Even though he is actually a bit lazy to work, but want how else, he must still carry out his duties.

During the day as usual Selly will go to the cafeteria with his coworkers for lunch. On the sidelines of the lunch activity one of his friends asked about rumors about the failure of Selly's marriage.

"Sell, according to the rumors I heard, you and Dr. Damas, failed marriage ... is it true?"

Selly who was busy enjoying a plate of siomay, he suddenly stopped his eating activities. He took a bottle of mineral water on the table, and he gulped it down.

"Hm... Do you know from whom?" selly asked his two friends.

"Em, we heard at a glance from his friend Dr. Damas too."

"Yes, we just want the mastiin gossip is true what not."

Selly breathed so heavy. "Yes, as you know, I am with him indeed null and void" Selly replied, bowing her head, with her hands busy rummaging through the little Siomay.

"What! So really?"

"Why can?"

Selly grunted softly. "Well, maybe not a soul mate."

The two friends could only gawk at Selly's reply. They did not expect that his friend would fail to get married, even though the wedding schedule was only 3 weeks away.

And actually they're both still thinking about what's going on that makes Selly and Damas cancel the wedding. However, it seemed like they also understood that at the moment Selly still seemed reluctant to discuss the matter more deeply.

The afternoon came, work hours were over and it was time to go home. Selly was tidying up the important items and documents that were on her desk.

"Sell, we go first, yes" Selly's two friends said as they left the study. Selly just nodded smiling at the two friends.

After he finished he hurried away from his study, while walking down the hospital corridor, suddenly .. at the fork in the hallway, there was someone who pulled his arm and dragged him into the hallway to the right, the road to a small child's inpatient room.

"Mas Damas," said Selly so shocked when he found out the person who pulled his arm was Damas.

Selly immediately pulled his arm out of Damas' hand, and he immediately stopped his footsteps.

"Let go don't you dare touch me!"

"Selly, wait! I'd like to talk to you for a minute." Damas pulls back Selly's arm, as soon as Selly is about to leave.

Sally clucked in annoyance, she turned her head back, with the look in her eyes that she was aiming at her arm that was being tightly gripped by Damas' hand.

"Selly, please give me a chance, can you let our family be humiliated by others because our marriage failed?" damas said without a stale base.

"Tempo?" Selly smiled sinisterly while throwing away a face. "Thank God you're ashamed. Our marriage is clearly broken. If you want to continue, you're going to continue."

"really?" Damas doesn't believe me.

"Yes, but .. I'm not the bride. You marry Miss Dinda, she needs you more than me." Selly went back to turning her body to want to leave quickly. But again Damas stopped him.

"Selly! Waitaminute! Can't we talk well, I'm really begging you. At least please don't let our family be shamed. I know, your family isn't ready for this failure of our marriage? ... Or we make a deal, how about it?"

"A pact?" Selly frowned in wonder.

"Yes, we're married, but only for a few months. I won't touch you, and you're free of your life. Like the word, we get married, house but separate rooms, then after 6 months we get divorced. At least that way, it won't put our family too much to shame."

Selly increasingly frowned, he really did not understand the way the man in front of him thought.

"What! You're crazy what Mas!"

Damas frowned when Selly mentioned his idea was a crazy idea.

"No! ... I don't wanna do it. You think marriage is a game! ... You're still healthy, aren't you?"

"Selly, but this is for the good of our family, think of your parents too. Are you so determined to let your mother and father be ridiculed by relatives?" damas asked so annoyed.

"No need for you to care about my family, just think about it. And stop making new problems!" Selly could not stand it anymore, he returned to his feet quickly, just passing away from Damas. Even though the man kept yelling at her name, Selly paid no heed to it.

"Damn it!" grumbled Damas. "Okay, if that's the decision you're gonna make, look at it later, you're never gonna live quietly, Selly," damas muttered as he stared at Selly's back which was getting further away from his sight and disappeared between the hallways of the corridor.

"Wait a long time?" ask Mayang as soon as he gets in the car.

"Lumayan .. Where are we going?" ask Andre.

"Ke... boutique first Bang, I want to order the same dress as Salwa at that time." Andre drove his car to the Boutique at that time.

After finishing buying a dress and some decorating supplies for his birthday, Andre and Mayang immediately went home to their apartment.

"Ah.. I can't wait to celebrate my birthday later," said Mayang.

"Oh yes Brother, should I invite Sister Selly also to come with us to the beach later?"

"No, it's not nice to take him on vacation while he's in a lot of trouble right now" Andre said.

"Hm. ya already then." Mayang also returned to tidy up his groceries and moved him to his room. Afterwards, Mayang returned to the kitchen to help his grandmother cook.

***

Selly had just arrived at his house, already two days he was living back at his house, because his father two days ago had already returned from the hospital. And he was healthy again.

"Assalamu’alaikum," said Selly as soon as he entered the house.

However, the atmosphere of the house looks so quiet, like no one. Selly walked to her room. However, before he reached his room, he heard the voices of two people who seemed to be arguing.

The voice was heard from the direction of his parents room. Selly walked slowly to her parents' room. As soon as he reached the door of his parents' room, Selly did not dare to enter. And Selly deliberately chose to listen to the debate between his parents from behind the door.

"Here you are, ma'am, don't be Selly's mate again. Poor him, just failed marriage time yes Mother wants to directly mate him again," protested Mr. Setyo as soon as his wife proposed to re-match his only daughter.

"But sir, I'm not ready if we have to be ashamed. Moreover, Mother has been excited about the story to the friends of the Mother's funeral if our child will soon be married. What if they find out our only daughter is failing marriage? They must have been mocking Mom. Your family too sir, will surely lower us" complained Ningsih.

"Father knows, too, but we can't make Selly marry someone she just met."

"But sir, if we cancel all this how? I have booked all the preparations starting from the building, catering, ayu fence, Javanese gamelan as well. I'm stressed thinking about this, sir! Where did it all pay again! Even if we ask for money back, at least 30 or 40% of the doang is flipped."

"Have calmed down first, our money matters think again later."

"But sir, if you don't think about it from now on how will you do?" Ningsih still continued to complain, while Setyo he could not bear to hear the babble of his wife who again disputed the marriage of his son.

"Mom! Enough already! I also have to think about how our son feels, Mom! If Selly finds out we argue like this later he will be sad. Never mind, if there will be a soul mate also will not go where!" exclaimed Setyo, he immediately sat his body on the edge of the bed.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Selly was quietly dumbfounded at the debate of her parents. Not wanting to be discovered, Selly finally went into his room. He locked the door to his room.

With such deep feelings of sadness and frustration in his mind.

"Oh Allah.. What should I do?" Selly relaxed her body, sitting on the floor behind the door of her room, with both of her knees she hugged.

"Do I need to find a future husband who wants to marry me directly in a few days?" muttered Selly. He was really confused and frustrated about the problems that were happening to him right now.

While daydreaming stared blankly straight ahead. His raging mind thought about how he was looking for a partner who would marry him in the near future, suddenly his brain gave a brilliant idea.

"Ah yes, do I have to find a partner through the tinder application? Uh, but... What if the person does not want to quickly marry? Em.... Or am I taking taaruf classes?" thought dreamy.

"Astagfirullah Selly. what do you think, the time yes want to marry just anyone," he thought back.

"Argh.. I'm dizzy, O Allah. bring me a mate as soon as possible. I'm really confused, if anyone likes me sincerely, I would have asked him to marry me immediately."

Selly finally decided to go to the bathroom, cleaning his body that already feels uncomfortable.
