Damar (Not) For Wulan

Damar (Not) For Wulan
Back to Jakarta


"Paan Cells? It's just a bird, really, really." Damar snatched his sister's head.


"It hurts, Mom." He rubbed his head on Damar's scar.


"You two are the center of attention, we're still in the car. Don't be noisy." I pinched Damar's thigh and Selena took turns.


The vehicle stopped at a small house. There is no home page, there is only a terrace that is not as wide. We all went downstairs, getting acquainted with the residents of the house. I don't know why I'm still awkward with them. Maybe because this was the first moment to meet them all. Finally we returned to Jakarta. Their contact numbers I've saved, this could be a surprise for Mom and Dad. They must have been surprised that Grandpa Grandma was coming to our wedding.


The three of us were escorted to the station, they gave us typical souvenirs of Bojonegoro. The three of us had to go back, they shed tears for having to part with me. Families separated for twenty-five years can finally be reunited. Me, Selena and Damar got into the carriage. It is not too late to miss the train. The three of us chatted casually, occasionally enjoying the food Damar bought. The night, the air gets colder. Damar hugged me tightly, we slept hugging in the passenger seat.


***


The rubble on my cheeks piqued me, I tried to open my eyelids slowly. Damar's wide smiling face made me realize.


"Wake up, shubuh. Soon our train will arrive at Gambir station." Damar rubs his cheeks repeatedly.


"For Sister Wulan" said Selena while yawning.


Within ten minutes, the train stopped at Gambir station. The three of us went down with a bunch of suitcases. The hand of Mbah was brought by Damar. Damar called a taxi outside the station. The three of us got into the car. I saw the clock on the phone screen, it was four past thirty. The air still feels cold. No matter how long we were on the trip, finally the elite residential area of Damar was clearly visible.


We got out of the taxi, someone opened the gate for us. He also brought our things one by one.


"Sholat first, still five hours and five minutes later" asked Damar to Selena who was lying helpless in the family room.


"Yes," he said briefly then got up from the sofa.


As usual, I went into the guest room. Shower for a while and then change clothes, then to the musholla behind the house, close to the kitchen. After the prayer, these eyes can no longer bear it. I went back to the guest room and laid myself down there.


"Darling, wakeup! It's nine o'clock." Sayup-sayup sounding Damar. These eyes opened slowly, catching the light that was about to barge in.


I see a beautiful view ahead. Damar opened the curtains of this room, the glass reflected the sunlight that entered this room. His body shimmered with the sparkle of the sun. His silhouette instantly made these eyelids widen even more.


"Sleeping princess, wake up dong! Mom and Dad are in the middle." Damar's words jolted me.


"Huh? You didn't say anything about Grandpa and Grandma, did you?" Anxiety is slipping.


"Quiet down! I also told Selena that this vacation is a secret." He approached the bed, sitting on the edge of the bed. His head lowered, peeping this forehead.


"Ehem, romantic very early in the morning. I'm not impatient." Selena's voice made us look at her. He always comes at the wrong time.


"We had breakfast together, brother. I'm laper, haven't been fed to Bibi," asked Selena.


"Nih people disturb you. Can you go outside, Cell?" Damar dragged his sister.


"Mas, it can't be. He wants to take us yesterday." I'm trying to separate them.


The three of us finally decided to go to the dining table. Apparently Auntie had prepared it for us. Smoke still billows from the glass bowl served. The three of us ate with it.


Me and Damar away from the family crowd. I gave this important information to two of my grandparents. They are both very enthusiastic, can't wait to go to Jakarta and see his grandson get married. I leaned on Damar's shoulder, thinking about work.


"Well, what's the coffee shop? Is anyone managing it? I'm afraid there are things that happen when we're not there." This concern is so high.


"Oh, you calm down! Don't think about it, it's my responsibility. You rest a little while you wait for our wedding." He stroked my hair many times.


"Related, Mom? Need some help?" I don't want to think about it, but I can't.


"I've paid two professionals to take care of it. We both focus on the wedding. Tomorrow morning we go, Mommy and Mommy go to the boutique. Wedding dress fittings. What do you want this time?" Damar was so excited. Didn't expect this guy beside me to be my soul mate. We used to argue never giving up.


"Shirt I want the white kebaya bones, Mas. If for the reception, want the gold is the theme. Same with the guarantee concept?"


"Tomorrow we'll talk to Mommy. Now that we're both in this park let us spend some time. I miss you." This man hugged the waist tightly.


Cup


He stole a kiss on his forehead, I elbowed his waist hard.


"Aw, that hurt." He pinched my cheek.


"It doesn't have to be here, Mom. Shame to be found out. You said you were ngeyel mulu."


Suddenly I remembered about the gym member card from Aditya. Did I just seduce Damar so I could exercise there. It is also good to maintain stamina before the event.


"Mas, can I ask you something?" I doubt actually.


"What do you want? Ask kiss? Can." He laughed at me.


"It's a habit, don't be kidding. I want to go to the gym before marriage so stamina is maintained. Let it keep you up too." Deliberately sort of led there for him to allow.


"Relatedly? Are you tired of the drought?"


"And only three times a week. Please, well, Mas Damar himself who nganterin." I begged him.


"Where are you going to gym?" tanyanya while tilting her head.


"Eum, that .. make the card of Aditya's beloved member."


"What stress are you crazy? I know he likes you, he wants to go there. No going to the gym." He began to get emotional.


"Mas, please. I also said I wanted to go there too. I'll ask you to be sure to let me not you get jealous blind like this." I'm comfortable exercising there because there's a special place for girls. A special room for people who want more privacy.


"Can't, I can't! You can reason, Yang. Don't want to think about my feelings." His chest started to go up and down.


"You two fight because of what? It was so loud that it sounded at the gate." We both looked at the person who appeared in front of us. I gasp.
