Wedding On Paper

Perfect Marriage - Chapter 31

On the sidelines of breakfast activities, Ms. Ningsih seemed so itching to discuss the problem of Selly's matchmaking with her friend's child.

Silent....

Only the sound of a spoon, a fork clashing with a plate was heard. Finally, not wanting to wait any longer, Ningsih began to open the conversation.

"Dear jelly," he called out as he crossed his spoon and fork over the plate, finishing breakfast.

"Yes Ma'am," replied Selly who was still fun to enjoy the fried rice made by her mother.

"Darling, don't you really have a boyfriend or a boyfriend who's that close?" ask carefully.

Setyo who heard that and knew where he was going, could only shake his head slowly.

"Start again" Setyo murmured inwardly.

"No, ma'am, why?" ask Selly.

"Em, this is so I plan to recognize you as the son of a friend of Mother, his name is Bagas, he is 27 years old, he works as a language lecturer at UNTAR," said Ningsih slowly, who was not involved in the study, with a voice full of seduction.

Selly just silent, he seemed indifferent to hear the talk of his mother. And in Selly's heart he was actually upset, because just a few days ago he canceled his marriage, when his mother immediately found another candidate for him.

"Where, son, do you want to meet him first?" ningsih asked as she expanded her smile, putting on a hopeful face.

However, before Selly replied, Setyo had already fulfilled it.

"Mother, ma'am, don't push too much. Our child is also an adult, ma'am, don't over-regulate it. Selly also needs calmness, especially at a time like this," Setyo continued, stopping eating.

"This father how he is! I told you, I'm not ready to be embarrassed sir. And Selly .. You are also the same mother who was embarrassed by the failure of your marriage."

"Mom, don't talk like that, Selly also definitely don't want her marriage to fail."

Finally the debate between Setyo and Ningsih was back, making Selly more upset and sad to see his parents who quarrel, because of him.

And again, Selly felt that all this was due to her fault.

"Mom, Sir. Selly wanted to talk," said Selly with an annoyed look but did not dare to look at the two parents, he just stared annoyedly at the dining table.

Setyo and Ningsih also paused their debate. Then turn his eyes towards Selly.

"Mom, Mr. .. tomorrow Selly want to go to the villa Roses only, Selly also need to calm the mind. Selly is also sad to hear that Mom and Dad are constantly arguing over Selly's marriage. But Selly please Mom, for now Selly does not want to know any man. Selly wants to calm Selly's heart first, Mom. Selly hope you and Mom will understand" said Selly who was still staring at the dining table.

Setyo and Ningsih could only be silent, hearing the words of his favorite child.

"Selly, I'm sorry, son, but that didn't mean to"

"Selly said yes, sir, Mom. So Selly won't come home, Selly wants to go back to the hostel." Selly stood up from her seat.

"Selly, listen to Mother Son, your wedding schedule is just around the corner. If you really fail to marry Mom-"

Before Ningsih finished her words, Setyo interrupted her again to stop talking.

"Mom already!" he said slowly to Ningsih.

"Selly, if you want to go to Pak Dori's villa, let me tell him to prepare all the equipment in the villa for you. I understand you need time. You can go there, calm yourself, son. Later if your mother has changed her mind and calm down, we will follow you there," said Setyo. Selly just silently looked down to hear his father's words.

"Loh sir, I'm so even!" ningsih protest seemed to be unacceptable. However, Setyo kept it.

"Thank you, sir, then Selly leaves. Assalamualaikum." Selly also greeted the reverence of both parents alternately. Although Ningsih still put on that sour face of hers.

Meanwhile, at the hospital where Andre works, an assistant who often helps him gives a letter to Andre.

"Thank you, yes" Andre told the female assistant.

"Yes Doc, same. Want an important event, huh?" kepo tanyanya.

"Yes, my sister wants a birthday, and she wants to be celebrated in our old place of residence. That's why I have to take time off" replied Andre. Opening her death permit.

"Well, two days is also enough to make the baby happy" Andre murmured inwardly.

"It's not that the party is also a small party not a big party," continued Andre.

They also return to their respective activities because the patient's calling hours must have been started.

***

"So... would you like to take an annual leave?" ask one of Selly's friends, when Selly filed for an impromptu leave of absence with one of the staff who arranged the employee's holiday issue.

"Yes, I want to take 4 days off" Selly replied.

"He's here, hopefully he'll be approved."

"But I agree to disagree too, I can not enter tomorrow. Later also the letter directly I put in you is okay, right?" ask Selly expectantly.

"Hm..all right then."

The expected day finally arrived, Mayang was so excited because it had been six months he had never set foot on the island of his birth, the Thousand Islands.

Although the access to it can only be by ship but it does not make Andre objection. He was so happy to see the laughter of happiness on the faces of his beloved sister and grandmother. The two women he currently cares about and protects.

"Woah, finally after a long time, I can relax on this swing of the net again," said Mayang as soon as he arrived at the terrace of the house, he immediately sat his body on the swing of the net in front of his house.

Andre immediately invited his grandmother to enter their house. The situation of the house that has been abandoned for a long time is quite a bit scary, because all the items are covered by white cloth.

Even so, the cleanliness is maintained because once a week there are people who clean and take care of the house.

"Sit down, Grandma, I'll get some water to drink" said Andre, passing out to pick up some bags and also a paper bag containing food.

While Mayang, the girl looked so happy, she immediately went around greeting the residents and close friends she had not met for a long time.

"Hi Uncle," called Mayang to Mr. Dori, the guardian of the Rose villa belonging to the Selly family, Mr. Dori is also Mayang's neighbor.

"Eh, Dek Mayang is here, when are you coming back here?'" dori asked, pulling the bike over near Mayang.

"Just arrived. Where's uncle going?" ask Mayang.

"Custom, want to take care of the equipment to make in the villa," he replied while developing a friendly smile.

"Oh, there's another lease."

"Yes, the child who has a villa wants to come here" replied Dori. Mayang also nodded.

"Oh Uncle, can I drop off shopping? You see I'm the same brother can't go out yet."

"Can you buy what?"

"Titip chicken meat sekilo, the same apples about Uncle." Mayang handed Dori two hundred thousand bills.

"Well, this is the advantage of Dek," said Dori when receiving the 200 thousand money.

"That's okay, make Uncle's gas money."

"All right, thank you then. Uncle left first." Dori was back riding his RA-King motorbike passed leaving Mayang.

Mayang went back into the house, after he felt enough to talk with his friends.

"Where are you from?" ask Andre.

"Regularly. meet friends. All those same nitip groceries Uncle Dori."

"You're this, people's nicotine habit."

"Biarin, Uncle didn't protest either." Mayang sat his body next to Grandma. While spoiled like a small cucumber that wants to be noticed by his grandmother.

“Aih... it's big still just like that.” Andre immediately passed to the kitchen to store some of their groceries.
