WEDDING DRESSES
With the approval of the Lili family finally after proposing to her lover they decided to hold a wedding in Korea. Wedding preparations have been held long before the day H, invitations have been spread by Univ alumni. The chocolate where Lili went to college did not escape being invited.
Lili has been in Korea for almost five months, with her future husband she used to live with her mother and father-in-law. Lili's mother-in-law had known her before Lili was proposed, but Father-in-law was still a bit awkward with Lili's presence. It was only the first time in the family's history that their youngest child brought a woman who would be made a companion to his life later. A father just trying to be authoritative in front of his son and the prospective new family, he is not so good at saying sweet because as long as he raises his children he is also not so familiar with them.
Living in a family is a treasure but lacks warmth in relationships.
One time Lili who woke up in the morning, was staring at breakfast at a small table next to her room. Apparently the waiter had prepared breakfast as usual, Andrew knocked on the door and watched his future wife with a smile. They chatted for a while before leaving to try again the wedding dress they had ordered from a month ago.
"Andrew I feel a little worried, is this natural? "
"Calm down, marriage dilemmas do happen quite often"
"Dad hasn't opened the door of his heart for me" with a gloomy face
"I was raised by my aunt since I was a child, but I wouldn't exist if Dad wasn't around. You know a father is usually not good at showing warmth but deep down he can also feel sad, lost or happy. Such feelings are common only seen at certain moments"
"My father when I heard you propose to me he immediately cried like a child, especially at the airport. Very different from my mother she did not cry and just waved with a laugh" said Lili
"Our parents are indeed a limited edition then hahah"
"Stop it, you son of a bitch" while holding her husband's cheek like a child
Suddenly the butler Andrew stopped the young couple's affection.
"Hem.. Sir it's time you prepared to leave"
"When did you get married? " with a mocking tone Andrew passed his loyal servant who from childhood always with him even when in Indonesia.
Hearing that he immediately lowered his head like a child whose candy was taken by people.

Andrew's mother saw Lili in the bridal dressing room, she immediately remembered her youth with her husband. Thrilling times even though the marriage with the husband is only limited to matchmaking but over time they are familiar with each other.
"Mom why would you say that to me? "
"Andrew's the kind of guy who's hard to open up to, I've always worried about him. But look at my son now meeting a kind girl I really hope you can be happy until death part" while hugging Lili
"Don't be sad Mom, I'll visit home often. Nobody kidnaps Mom's favorite son so don't cry"
"Before Andrew's father was very handsome, his good looks were handed down to his children you were very compatible"
"Handsome and kind and I think her heart was lowered by Mom"
"Why think like that? " while tidying the bride's clothes of his son's wife
"Because during my stay here, I saw you weren't too warm"
"You know when he was young, he was a loving father and husband. But not showing off his actions"
"Oh! I just found out I was curious about the story of my young mother and father"
\*\*\*
A curtain slowly opened from the bottom of the slit as the gleaming white dress became more attractive the more clearly a bride-to-be appeared before them. Andrew, the mother and butler who were in the room looked admiringly at Lili. The butler took out a handkerchief, instead of giving it to Mother Andrew who was moved he used it himself to wipe away her old tears. The people in the room laughed except for Lili who saw the butler who was crying.
"You why? " ask Andrew's mother
"Miss Lili you look beautiful please take good care of my Andrew in the future" a serious but funny answer because it is spoken like a child crying for losing his favorite toy.
"I won't go far, you can come with me uncle or get married too"
"Don't joke with me, sir"
The whole space was full of gratitude and haru, finally they captured the moment to take pictures. But the father-in-law did not appear to have come that day, a job at the headquarters made him unable to come.
