Blind Date's
59. So Stupid's
...59. Togetherness...
Because of the luggage that is quite a lot, Gama told the hotel driver to drive his car first to Kemuning. One day before his departure with Sasmaya. He also entrusted Dani to control him.
“How is the preparation there?” ask Sofyan. Shortly after the black car with Jakarta plates left his residence.
“It's done, Pa,”.
Sofyan patted her shoulder. “Yakinlah .. this is the best.” Passed away leaving her with a smile.
He pulled the corner of his lips faintly. Pick up the phone stored in the pants pocket.
“Vi, what should I do? The closer we get here, the more real the aggression.”
“Focus memory on fun, happy things and positive thoughts. Where Sasmaya is the object that brings happiness. Rest assured ... if you are with him you will get happiness that many times,” said Lyvia.
Silence pauses. He tried to remember his time together in Amsterdam with Sasmaya.
“Now answer calmly. What's the score with your wedding preparations now?” ask Lyvia.
“10.”
“Then, have you tried her wedding dress?”
“Ya.”
“How many scores?”
“30.”
Lyvia on the other end of the phone sighed. “How about the marriage appointment?”
“60.”

“Who is Sas Maid?” Susi lifted 2 pieces of bright black and bright red sleepwear. As per Sinta's message and command he carries out his duties. Open the gift and show it directly in front of his best friend. So that Sasmaya can choose for itself which one will be used for the first night.
Tingled. He wants to laugh. Arrested though. Sending a message to Sinta: Crazy lo, yes! Not that time either.
However, he never wears a nightgown that season and semenawang.
“If according to me ...,” his household assistant frowned. While pressing his cheek with his index finger. Give his opinion even though he has not been told. “The red,” the proposal. “Red is brave, challenging. So later on the first night Mas Gama felt challenged to .. hehe.”
“Haish, your mind goes everywhere, Sus!” yells.
“Yes, definitely dong Mbak. His name is also the plus-plus area ..” screech Susi.
“Already ah, I choose according to your choice only Sus. Keep the black one to be accompanied?” I was told to choose 1 out of 2. Why not both, he thought. Sinta must have spent a decent amount of money draining her pocket. Although his best friend once said promise, if he married will give another gift, quality, special, and intimate.
Susi put back the black sleepwear of the famous brand into the box. “Submit return to Mbak Sinta. Want to be returned to the store.”
Explosion laughs out, “Haha ..”. Susi looked at him in wonder. “No loss on him.”

The next morning Sasmaya had been waiting for Gama's arrival in the living room to pick him up.
“Sus, this suitcase let it be here, yes,” point it on a medium-sized blue suitcase lying next to the sofa. “Later if I do not have time to go home, please deliver to Mas Gama's house. Ojek. Or later ...ease anyone who will pick up here. The important thing is that I have prepared.”
“Indeed Mbak Sas from Kemuning did not come back here first?” ask Susi.
“Maybe Mas Gama took me straight to his house, Sus. Just anticipation.”
Susi ambush, “Beres Mbak.”
The sound of car horns is heard. He rushed out while saying, “Titip home yes, Sus.”
Susi followed him to the terrace. “Be careful, Ma'am. May all be launched.”
Sasmaya waved her hand through the half-open window. Reviewing the smile before the car that took him away left his residence.
“Nothing left?” ask Gama who is sitting next to him.
He shook. “God willing there is no.”
“Pak, directly to the airport,” the man's word on his driver.
“Dani is here?”
“Already. An hour ago he gave you news,” Gama said.
It's mangosteen. “Papa same others how?”
“Plan later noon.”
The journey to the airport went well. Arrive there on time. They immediately entered and waited in the waiting room with the departure gate after getting a boarding pass from the counter at check in.
“I was actually a bit hesitant to follow the selection of editor in chief of GPP. Of all the candidates only I am educated S1,” he said. Yesterday he had time to hear anyone who had passed the first stage selection. That is administrative selection and only he himself who only studied S1.
“What is the educational requirement?”
“Minimal S1.”
“See .. means you have met the required qualifications,” said Gama.
“Iya, anyway. It's just—”
“What else do you doubt? That's not weakness. Not lack. Insecure you feel because of lack of confidence. All qualifications you meet. Even you have advantages that other candidates do not have,” explained the man. “You mastered the editorial in GPP,” he continued. “If you are less interested in education, it is not a big deal. After this you can continue your school. But remember, what are your goals for school? If you only want to graduate S2 free. Waste of time and money.”
What about the staff whose position under him is higher in education than him?
“Sas,” the man grabbed his hand. “Education is indeed important in achieving a position at a job. But it is not the only factor that supports a career. Because higher education will not mean if it is not accompanied by qualified skills.”
Gama explained at length. Even told about his experience while looking for candidates who occupied important positions at Hotel Zoon. In fact, of all candidates, only a few have the appropriate education and skills needed.
That is also the man took further education fairly late. When his friends or even his subordinate staff already bear S2 and even S3.
But Gama has no regrets. He is proud of what he has done and achieved. By the time they— his friends were sitting in class receiving material—ia had already practiced first. Digging experience, facing problems. Then find the solution.
Yes, Gama has studied his S2 at the University of Amsterdam. When he was 29 years old.
“Sas,” the man looked at her.
He also looked at Gama.
...***...
Lunch at Ndoro Dongker. Then we headed to Banyu Mili. Which is not so far from the pioneer restaurant in the Kemuning area.
Arriving there all preparations seemed to have been completed. He and his extended family were deliberately placed in the Banyu Mili area behind. Separated from the Gama family area that occupies the front.
“Sas,” Gama deliver it to the front of his room. “Tonight was the last we met. I wish I could see you.”
He smiles. “Only 2 days,” whispered on Gama. “Later tonight I'll be with you. See you ...” Kissing the cheek of the man at a glance was accompanied by a slight mischievous flick.
Gama chuckled lightly. It turned out that his future wife dared to show her genius. First time. Ah, error ... when in houseboat even more than this. He smelled a smile. Seeing the woman he loved opened the door until the wooden door drowned his existence.
While Sasmaya entered the room that will be occupied in a few days before they officially became a married couple. Of course the bridal room has been prepared in a different room.
Keep moving towards the back porch. After passing the sofa, bed and toilet.
His gaze was so amazed. A venue for the flush event has been prepared in such a way. Chest rippling. The long wait will finally be done. That's marrying.
Not yet had time to see how the venue for the core event is the ijab kabul procession. His estimate definitely exceeded this. His lips reflexively attracted in. His heart was covered in happiness.
“Sas,” Ranti patted her shoulder from behind. Make her lips come back flat. Looking at mama.
“Mama sleep where?” tanyakanya.
Ranti pointed at one of the buildings to her left. “Eyang inside. You didn't see him first?”
“This time, Ma. Keep Papa where?”
Ranti again pointed at the building that was on her right. “But not yet arrived,” he said.
“Maybe afternoon.” When he got off the plane, papa reported that he had just left home.
“Mama wait next to.”
He nodded. Back to the inside. Take off his shoes. Replace it with sandals that have been provided by the resort.
Through the side porch door he entered and grabbed the eyes of the one sitting on the sofa.
“What's up?” Kissing the back of the hand of the woman who rubbed her head with her other hand several times.
“Healthy ones. How are you feeling, Nduk?”
“Sas, Happy, The. Finally the prayer of Eyang, the prayer of Mama, Papa, Pakde-Bude, Om-Tante and all was granted,” he replied cheerfully. Sit next to Eyang Sulasih. He leaned his head on the woman's shoulder. While grabbing that old hand. Swiping softly.
“Continue praying, Sas. Ask for blessing and smoothness. We don't know what happened after this. But rest assured, all is destiny. Trust the same Almighty.”
“Definitely, Eyang. Sas won't forget it.”
While Ranti who was standing near the round table only shook her head. Sometimes the child's childlike nature reminds him of himself as a child. Percis Sasmaya is currently.
In the evening he and his extended family received a dinner invitation from Gama's side. In a building like a restaurant. It's just open like a pendopo.
Wearing a long dress. Still the night air kemuning through the clothes he was wearing. Sometimes he shudders with cold.
Gamma sat across. It was a bit far from him as if he understood his condition. Remove the blazer worn. Then asked one of the servants to give it to Sasmaya.
He replied to Gama's treatment with a message: Thank you ... 🥰
The dinner together went well. Accompanied by chat discuss the event that will last until the core event. The day of the wedding pledge.
Gama: I can’t take my eyes off you.
The reply from Gama made him fold his lips. Holding smile.
^^Sasmaya : So touched. It all happened because of you.^^^
Or : Really?
^^^Sasmaya : Yes.^^^
Gamma : So grateful. I definitely can't sleep tonight.
^^^Sasmaya: I accompanied from another angle.^^^
Gamma :😭
“Gama ... Sasmaya, how?” ask Sofyan.
Sontak made both of them look up. How what?
Gama replied diplomatically, “Serah. We'll come, Pa.” He also nodded while smiling.
Make everyone laugh for a moment.
“It seems they are impatient, Pa,” Affan chirped.
He looked at the mother who was next to him.
“Makanya dengerin,” tukas mama.
Om Tirto chimed, “Honeymoon affair is up to us?”
Is this a honeymoon?
