Always Gonna Be You
2. Bridezilla

Orchids

Three days after he finished his thesis and all his whining, Rendra came back home, this time with his extended family. There are 3 vehicles carrying a group of about 15 people, including Papa, Mama Dina, Mama Evi, and Rakai of course.

He who had just returned from Jogja the night before, did not have time to do the treatment for the preparation of the application. Be he appeared sober, leaving a tired face and dull skin after stripping the preparation of the trial, the thesis trial, as well as revision.

"When was the last facial, huh?" Joyce, MUA and her SMU friend frowned.

"Forgotten, heee," he grimaced. "Why? Lots of little pimples, huh?" His face may seem smooth without acne, but if considered carefully, there are small pimples that often appear on the forehead or cheeks, usually a week before menstruation.

"Acne is not there, it's smooth. Just as many dead skin cells as blackheads."

Ah yes, he and blackheads are indeed mortal enemies.

"I clean up first, let's be maximum" Joyce looked at the wall clock. "It's 10 o'clock, right?"

He nodded. There's 2 hours left.

I don't know what Joyce did to her face, because she wasn't allowed to see glass.

"Why?" his protest. "Ntar you know me again," actually not possible to be done anyway, Joyce's professional career as MUA is clearly marked throughout the Residency. He was just curious about groggy mix.

"Surprise," Joyce smiled meaningfully. "As if you were giving me a surprise."

"What surprise?" he laughed.

"The train that sued you was Dio, uh it was someone else," said Joyce blakasuta (as is).

"In the alumni group already rame Dio in ceng ceng in the same children, returning from Japan directly to KUA nih," continued Joyce with a sparkling face.

"Emang yes if we have not been a match, what can we do" concluded Joyce with a regretful face. "You are so well-matched."

He could only swallow the suddenly bitter saliva. Here's the fate of having the same circle of friends with the most beautiful past, all the news spins unfiltered. Make the heart sometimes re-dragged the flow of endless worry feelings.

But his grief evaporated because the application event held at his home was smooth and solemn. Rendra, who inexplicably in this event looks shining, shimering, splendid with a long-sleeved batik shirt - even though he has seen Rendra several times wearing a long-sleeved batik shirt, but this afternoon she looked more glowing - continuing to stare at a smile while glancing at him throughout the event. Even when Papa Rendra was talking in front of everyone, asking Papah, Rendra blinked one eye at him. Isha!

And Rendra's family through Rakai as a spokesperson asked for the marriage to be carried out as soon as possible.

"Tomorrow, next week, or two more weeks we can," said Rakai followed by a wide smile full of confidence Rendra towards him. "Don't worry about the cost. We'll take care of everything."

"Because marriage is a noble worship, it should not be delayed. And the ideal distance from the application to the wedding should not be too long," concluded Rakai sure. About can cheat from where Rakai can talk as fluently as that. Wong she's not married. Hmmmm.

But Papah had another view, "It is better not to be too rushed either. Frankly our family needs time to prepare for everything."

After a sizable discussion, negotiations with the extended family, input from Mr. Marsono as an elder who is elder in the Papah extended family, finally agreed the marriage will be held on April 27, the statement said, about two months after graduation.

He thought after the date was successfully agreed all ended beautifully. But apparently there are still other things that re-ignite the debate.

"We want the reception to be held in 2 other places besides here," said Rakai after whispering with Papa and Rendra.

"First in Jogja. Why Jogja? Because many friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and relations of the groom-to-be are domiciled in Jogja and surrounding areas. Which will most likely experience obstacles if the reception is only held here. Because of the long distance and the travel time is not short."

"So, the reception in Jogja will be like ngundhuh mantu for the family of Mr and Ms. Mulyo. Because there must also be many friends and friends of the bride-to-be."

"The second is still between two choices. Banjarmasin or Samarinda. The area where the origin and residence of the Darmastawa extended family."

"If this party is our tradition. The term is a gift from parents for children who give up single. All children born into the Darmastawa family will have a party like this."

He who from the beginning had begun to be less comfortable because the Rendra family always discussed about the cost that is not to worry, immediately menggelos once Papah replied in a flat tone. - Fyi Papah always respects whoever the guests who come, with an enthusiastic and expressive attitude. So if Papah puts on a face and a flat tone means he is offended.

"For the reception elsewhere we are just pending. We also have to negotiate with a big family."

"No need to worry about the cost sir, all our costs are responsible, as well as the reception here," continued Rakai quickly, which even became a boomerang.

"We have absolutely no objection or difficulty about the cost" Papah said quickly. "Importantly here we have agreed on the wedding day which is April 27th. That's enough!"

It is also becoming more uncomfortable. Mom squeezed her hand a few times. While on the opposite side, Rendra whispered seriously in Rakai's ear.

"Well, sir, Fine," Rakai's voice began to groggy. "I'm sorry for my editorial mistakes. It was purely my error in speaking. Please forgive me."

But Papah did not answer.

"There really is not the slightest intention here to shrink the role of the Father's family. It was just an affirmation from us that there was nothing to worry about...."

Papah was still silent before finally answering, "Look, from now on there is still two and a half months to the wedding date. Later we musyawarahkan again proposal from the family of the bridegroom about the reception in several places. Hopefully we can get a deal quickly. Later if there is a decision, we will inform the groom's family."

Eventually the proposal event only resulted in an agreement about the wedding date, and still left about the reception. He also prayed in his heart, may Allah soften the hearts of all those present at this proposal.

And while the lunch was taking place in the living room, unexpectedly Rendra came to him who was washing his hands in the sink of the dining room.

"You're beautiful" whispered Rendra in a wiggle before landing a brief kiss on her crown. "Really beautiful..."

He smiled before asking, "Any huh?"

"What a weird?"

"Me," he shrunk. "From that moment Joyce didn't look at glass. I really don't know my face is on the same side as her."

Rendra actually smiled knots while removing the phone from the pocket of her pants. "Let's take a picture of JKT48," Rendra slid her cheeks and posed in front of the camera phone, cheers.

"Oh," after three checks he just realized. "So your fave is so," he sneered. "Not a pedophile named ngefavoritin ABG," he increasingly sneered.

Rendra was immediately broken. Make him back to snickered.

"Esince who else looks like a cute one like you," Rendra still laughed. "I don't memorize the names of artists. It was fitting here through the intersection there was a billiho segede gaban writing so."

He just kept sneering. "No pity the name of the artist but his ex-artist all," but he became embarrassed himself because he was exhausted.

Fortunately Rendra did not extend, he just laughed while kissing his hair and whispered, "Healthy until April 27. Love you." - Love you."

It turned out that the effect of the reception of the three new places was felt at night, when Papah called him specifically into his room. This means, Papah wants to have a serious conversation.

"Call 'em?"

Mamah embraced him, "Here sit," invited him to sit on the sofa of responsibility in the room.

"Figure, please you have a good discussion with Rendra about the reception in Jogja the same in Samarinda."

"It's important and urgent or not."

"Because you have to think long. You just graduated, not yet working, he said he wanted to continue master."

"Rendra wants a master."

"So there's a lot to consider. Because if you're married, get out of this house, the responsibility is already on your husband, Rendra."

"Same Papah Mamah can still help, but not as fast as now you are still a girl living in the Papah house.

"Lecture again it costs money. Not later where to stay, living costs, and others."

"Please think carefully. Instead of running out for a two-day party, meningan make savings far ahead."

"Yes Pah, later I obrolin with Rendra," he nodded.

"Especially Rendra is a business person, whose condition is not certain. He must be far ahead."

"Now it's quiet, what if there was a kayak problem yesterday?"

Make him have to swallow.

"Please think carefully, discuss, later if there is an agreement to tell Papah."

"So...You don't agree to a reception anywhere else?" ask carefully. "Why?"

"Yes that was Papah said, you have to be visionary. Papah Sama Mama did not mind about the cost. There is an allocation of costs for you, Adit. But papah's pesen that one, think again about the benefits."

"What Papah offended.because.Rendra's family discussed about the cost continues," he increasingly ventured.

Papah sighed before replying, "Yes, Papah was offended. You think our family can't afford that until the cost keeps on repeating."

Then this becomes a serious problem. Not even the vendor's business is finished, Papah even like this. So when he returned to Jogja, he immediately asked to meet with Rendra.

"You miss me so much, so I can't wait to see you" Rendra chuckled while kissing her cheek at a glance, which immediately got a pinch from her.

"Oh," Rendra complained.

Rendra that if the deket-deket aja must be directly nyosor. Bener-bener similar to the proverb cat disodorin fish directly nyaplok.

"And we're officially fiancee, let's be a little bit.." Rendra brought the face closer, but the evasive movement was faster. Understandably, it's been trained. Making Rendra can only smell the wind because he is now sitting in a chair.

Rendra pretended to sneer while sitting on the chair.

This afternoon Raudhah was empty. No children have returned from campus, it seems busy UTS. So he chose to chat on the terrace until the children came home ahead of the Maghrib later. Because he was lazy to come out.

"We're talking here, yes" he asked for approval.

"Come," Rendra nodded. "Sepy. The kids haven't come home?" while moving towards the living room.

Making Rendra chuckle, "Tenaaang.ngak no one will also not be anything," while glancing. "I'm at most a rasain that's as sweet as a little honey" he continued.

"Seriously dong," he scowled.

"Seriously, seriously," Rendra chuckled as he took the phone out of his pocket. "But we pesen GoFood first yes, hungry nih. What do you want?"

Rendra ordered enough food and drinks for 5 people. But they are just the two. "I haven't eaten in the morning" Rendra said as she devoured a double cheese burger.

"Diomelin definitely.diamondiomelin..," continued Rendra quickly with a hilarious style.

Make the mouth that has been opened half immediately closed tightly. But finally can't stand it either, "You told me I'm healthy, you don't take care of health."

"East morning have eaten the princess," seloroh Rendra. "You eat, seriously. It's just hungry through the streets jammed crazy."

Then while eating they started talking about all the things about marriage. Starting from concept, vendor, reception, cost, life after marriage, everything. And it turns out that discussing with a cold head is not easy. Several times they both defended each other's arguments.

"Why should you be offended? Other people are happy if they do not have to pay a fee."

"Please don't bring up the cost issue again," he began to get impatient. "For the agreement and reception at my place please do not charge. If you want to help please, without demeaning. If neither papa because all has been taken into account."

His tone is quite high makes Rendra begin to realize there is a missed. "You..also offended?"

He didn't answer.

"Oh, My!" Rendra bobbles head. "We don't want to be arrogant let alone offensive. This is pure talk so don't misunderstand."

"It's just misunderstanding."

"OK.oke..," Rendra relented. "I'm sorry. Promises will not be about cost anymore. But please, lobby Papah you make the reception acc in Jogja the same in Balikpapan."

"And you definitely know the reception in Jogja is 90% necessary. Many of our friends, associates, acquaintances here are not allowed to go to your place."

He knows it.

"I need this, Nggi. Please help me talk to your Papah."

He sighed.

"Well, if the reception in Balikpapan was purely Papa's idea. You know for yourself how my Papa. All of her children were made to a wedding, no matter the official child or the series' child."

He knows this too.

"Good luck with a simple reception. Usually Papa abis-out 7 days 7 nights. Maybe Papah you passed out at our reception 7 days and 7 nights."

Rendra's last words made her smile.

"Well, that's a smile," Rendra breathed a sigh of relief. "It turns out that mating is more complicated than Raker," complained Rendra while throwing his back to the back of the chair.

"More complicated than LPJ," he said quickly. They both finally get together.

But the joy did not last long. Because Papah still has not softened and disagreed about the reception in Jogja and Balikpapan. Plus another problem came in line.

First, he was still preoccupied with the unfinished business of the vendor. Taking care of your own marriage in an LDR way is really draining. Making it must go back and forth Jogja - home in the complicated atmosphere of graduation preparation.

"Wear WO only," it seems Rendra began to be uncomfortable with his careless attitude. "Let's not cape."

Eventually he agreed the show at home was taken care of by WO.

"Well, that's dong. We'll be kings and queens for a day, not to stress" Rendra smiled happily.

But the business with WO was also not that easy Ferguso. There are many miskoms and misleads that make simple things complicated. Fortunately the reception in Jogja was held by the children of ManjoMaju, and the reception in Balikpapan in the handle of Rendra's extended family. If not, maybe his head will explode.

And while he and WO at home are still trying to find common ground, Rendra joined the pulpit by urging him to immediately complete pre nup.

"I can't think" he lamented.

"You just have to say you agree, everything's fine. As simple as that," Rendra looked at him confusedly.

He pointed at the paper containing the pre nup format with a fiery, "It's too cool. You mean from the beginning of my split intention?"

"You wrote that 10 billion didn't think? Can you afford that? If you make a deal then make sense little dong!" he has no power to suppress emotions.

"Seriously?" Rendra looked at him confused. Then stroked both of his arms gently. "It's like you're overloaded" Rendra shook her head. "Your support is getting worse. Let's go yuk."

He clearly refused Rendra's invitation. He did not even take a phone call from Rendra at night, then the next morning, afternoon, evening, night, until this morning, he did not pick up the phone or answer chat messages from Rendra. He is lazy, annoyed with who, at the same time angry for what. He really felt alone and lonely. Undescribable worst feelings.

And Rendra obviously did not accept being treated that way. He called once an hour. Sending dozens of chat messages that were not even opened. Sending food via Ojol. He even came to Raudhah but he did not want to see him. He still felt annoyed, annoyed, angry, who did not know.

Now was the third day he launched a non-talking stunt with Rendra, who was still trying to contact him. But always ignored.

Meanwhile, because in a few days he was in graduation. Require it to be busy back and forth to campus to take toga, take care of this, and others. Fortunately there is Mala who is always there, because finally they can graduate together. After experiencing the winding drama with his dosbing.

"Elo wants to marry instead of hepi even stress anyway," muttered Mala. "Stress is looking for itself again. Try to imagine how worried Rendra lo won't talk to him?!"

He clicked. "Males ah's. I'm dizzy he's chasing pre nup mulu."

"That would do you good, Nggi. It has to be repeated a number of times. So high was told to make pre nup," Mala grumbled.

"I don't want to be forced. Anyway, she makes no redactional make sense."

"Can be said fine."

"Males ah me," he wrinkled. "Road yuk."

Mala sighed but said. Maybe because he was afraid he would do strange, so Mala preferred to accompany him rather than later regret. What try.

Those who rarely watch in the cinema decide to watch. The story wants to do something different than usual. And Mala agreed to be invited to watch a random movie midday. Thanks, Mal.

As usual before the movie starts, the popcorn sales are milling around offering. He obviously won't buy because he has to. Moreover, not ready to walk even invited to watch. Be the money they ludes to buy the ticket. But suddenly there was a popcorn seller who approached and gave popcorn and soft drinks to him.

"Sorry, not Mba," she refused subtly.

"This is for Mbanya, from Mas-mas at the back," said the popcorn seller with a smile.

"Which mass?!" he was scared.

"That's there," pointing to the back row. But he could not see who was sitting there.

"Sorry Mba, I don't know" he said, more afraid. She is definitely not the type of girl who is very beautiful, which can make people instantly fall in love in the first impression.

"Make it happen," he said sure.

"What the hell?" Mala began to piqued with her chatter with popcorn mba.

"Well, can't be Mba" Mba popcorn salesman ngeyel. "This is a trust, from Masnya for Mbanya. Masnya very handsome loh mba, do not let nyesel because it was already repulsive," this time mba popcorn while blushing embarrassed.

He was dumbstruck, finally accepting and saying thank you in confusion. Then handed the popcorn and soft drinks to Mala who increasingly shriveled confused.

"Don't eat, lemme," the message is serious.

And throughout the film he could not concentrate on watching and continued to look back to find out who the person was.

"Lo why the hell?" Mala began to be annoyed with her behavior, while the popcorn in her hand was already slippery. Make it frown because Mala is still fresh fit no less something. Because he was afraid that his popcorn was given something.

"Gue is afraid, Mal, we go home, yuk," he was really afraid that there were pranksters or even bad intentions.

"Huh?" Mala was clearly dumbfounded as she pulled her hand out of the theater. "Film belom abis, Nggi. I also paid for the ticket. Honey!"

But he didn't care, kept pulling Mala out. Once outside, he gets a surprise. Someone suddenly pulled his hand. Although he felt the puller tried as gently as possible, but his grip felt pain in the hand.

"Deliver!" he tried to rebel. But the grip of that person was too tight.

"Eh.uh...Nggi," Mala immediately panicked as soon as she saw someone pulled. But strangely, a second later, Mala smiled while waving her hand. Hah, what the hell is Mala, not nolongin?!

"Mal! Help me!!" frightened screams. But Mala's smile was getting wider and her hands were getting taller. Oh, my God, Mala really lo?!

"Deliver!" he also tried to rebel by shaking his hands hard. But it still didn't work. Because he was pulled back, now he is trying to change the position of the body so that he can see who pulled him.

"Deliver!" he grew stronger and more rebellious once he knew who was pulling him. Oh my goodness, he should have guessed.

"Please!" he is still trying to rebel. But Rendra just summed up his shoulders and guided his quick steps towards the basement.

"Come in" said Rendra flatly as he opened the dashing black door. He who initially wanted to run away immediately shrieked for the sake of looking at Rendra's eyes that glistened full of fire.

Finally he was forced to go inside, with his breath still stinged because of the rebellion effort earlier. While Rendra behaved as if nothing had happened. Keep leaning as usual to put on a seat belt, complete with a warm, mint-scented gust that passes along his shoulders and collarbone.
