An Overdose of Love
Proposal to Karin
The shirt already looks neat, with the top of the white shirt lined by a black suit. Some preparations had been prepared by the family, and I could only watch it silently. Families from far away have been willing to come here, to see my application to Karin.
"Are you ready, son?" ask Mama, while tidying up the collar.
"Thank God, Chris is ready, Ma. Pray that the show will be smooth," I said smiling kindly at him.
"Yes, Son. It must be."
"Thank you, Ma. Huuufff, it feels so groggy Chris and a little scared, even though this is still a proposal event not at a wedding reception, but why is Chris so made of cold sweat like this?" my question is not to understand.
"It's normal for everyone to happen, because this is the first experience that happens. You just relax, do not be too nervous because it can affect the event later. 'And there are us families who accompany you, so it doesn't suck to worry too much so," said Mama trying to calm me.
"Heeh .. huuuf, hopefully I'll be calmer. Thank you to Mama who has been giving full support to Chris," I said moved by the changing attitude of Mama, who has blessed our relationship.
"Yes, Son. You're welcome."
The whole family was ready, with smiles full of happiness. I just came out of the dressing room, so embarrassed myself when all eyes looked at me in amazement.
"Come all, we will be ready to go to deliver the groom, for this application event," said Papa to everyone.
"Yes, Mas. We will be ready to accompany Chris, to get a halal and legitimate love of the world," Papa replied.
"Thank you to everyone, who has been willing to come all the way for the sake of watching and enlivening this event," I said unkindly.
"Yes, Chris. You're welcome."
I can't describe it, when happiness is coming soon. Mobilpun already launched its engine. The car I was in consisted of only four people, one as a driver and the other only me and both parents. All deliveries have been deposited on the family car. So curious was all the family towards my bride-to-be, that all who came were almost forty from their own family.
It did not take long to come, because the distance of our house was quite close. Now the car is slowly entering the alley area, near Karin's parents' house. The hands begin to feel cold sweat, with the body temperature starting to heat up. The gurgling feeling was so strong, that I was going down just felt heavy.
"Come, Chris. Why even daydream!" pinta Mama told me.
"Ee'eh, yes Ma!" reply awakens.
When I got down all the families had gathered, escorting me from behind. A very lively welcome in front of Karin's house, which of course also many families and enthusiastic neighbors want to see this event.
You have all been greeted with courtesy and warmth. So many people do not fit for guests to sit, until others are forced to sit outside the already existing tent. Me and my extended family have entered the house, to the point that Karin's parents are standing quietly, welcoming us.
The person who was appointed as the speaker, now began to make a voice to express the purpose and purpose of our coming here.
"The arrival of our extended family is here, to bring together the legitimate bond between son Chris and Karin. Whether the parents agree and approve of our purpose in coming here" said the guardian.
"Where is Karin? Are you getting married to Chris's son?" ask the spokesperson.
Karin's face that looked down because of shame, now set a little to stare at me, until our neutrals were both locked, which then Karin again lowered her head.
"Bismillah, I am ready to live this legitimate bond, which is to be Chris' wife," replied Karin casually but still the same timidly.
"Alhamdulillah," answered everyone.
The joy that was overcome, to make the speaker immediately pray to give thanks for this event, which succeeded without any obstacles.
Karin who looks beautiful with white kebaya dress subordinate to batik cloth, so make her more beautiful charming, until netra is not bored to keep glancing at her. Although our distance is far apart, due to chatting to each other's families, but netra Karin expressed wanting to share this happiness with me.
"Just wait, Karin. I will always make you happy. My love will continue to blossom only for you, so wait for our happiness later," a heart murmur that still glanced at Karin.
Dish so many available with typical cuisine padang. I was hungry, and I was not ashamed to try to taste the food. Slowly the delicious side dish I put in my mouth. My show that was eating, instantly collapsed when I saw Naya sitting alone in a corner near the room. The rice that I had wanted to eat, I just put it straight away and tried to approach Naya son of Karin.
"Hey pretty, why? How come his face is bent so! Later the beauty is lost you know, if it constantly frowns so," I said to Naya, who immediately sat near him .
"Eh, Chris. Nothing happened to Naya," she replied, looking sad.
"Om Chris knows that Naya is lying now, so can Om know why?" I am still suspicious.
"heeh. Look, Om! Why does everyone laugh so cheerfully, while Naya doesn't like to see that. Naya feels sad, when Mommy now looks happy and forgets Naya," she said sadly.
"Here ...here, baby!" say I who now sit down to face him.
"Mother is happy because soon to be married to Chris. Not that Mother today is so happy, but can forget Naya who is the only favorite child of Mother. Mother will always be dear, Naya. So now do not be sad anymore, because Om from now on will love Naya too," I replied persuading, so that she does not grieve anymore.
His name was also a small child, so his mind was so short in his brain performance now. Naya's worry was too much, and I think it was perfectly natural to see Karin laughing cheerfully from happiness, who now doesn't care about her sad child alone.
"Thank you for the affection that Chris will give, but Naya now only wants Dad," replied Naya who suddenly cried so fast.
I who was shocked immediately took his body, to immediately carry and pat his shoulder slowly. Everyone seemed to be looking at me, including Karin who was now approaching us.
"What's up, Chris?" tanyanya wants to take over Naya.
"No idea, Karin. She was gloomy in a corner all by herself, and I tried to talk to her, but she's crying right now" I explained.
"Oh, so. Yes, I am, sorry! I'll calm Naya down first" replied Karin who wanted to take Naya away from me now.
"What the hell is going on? Is this a sign that Naya doesn't want me as a father? Oh my God, what am I supposed to do? Do I have to hurt everyone, so I can be happy? Why does it feel so chaotic like this, when Naya's speech now affects these thoughts and doubts," a whimper of hearts who tangled.
Replace me who sat pensively waiting for Naya, when the confusion was so haunting. It feels very heavy for the decision to marry Karin, it feels so heart slapped on the narration of Naya just now, when only Adrian is the desire now.
