Saturday night Sunday, today is Hendri's wedding day. Ella finally decided to follow the advice of her mother. Invite Roni to come to the party. In addition to being an alibi if he already has a partner can also be a repellent to unpleasant questions that he might receive.
"Ron, sorry you so you have to nemenin me to the wedding party mas Hendri." said Ella as she walked side by side with Roni from the car park.
"I'm even grinning. Finally you want to get out first hehe," replied Roni casually.
It's true that Ella never once took him out first, except for campus and college affairs. Roni is usually the one who is always inspired to take the girl out, even though sometimes just to eat together.
"So, what's the plan?" Roni confirmed Ella's plan. Do not want to expect too much also the girl changed direction drastically to be able to accept it.
"Where's what? Yeah, tell me we're dating." Ella answered casually.
"Wuih really is this? It needs to be done that way." Roni was excited to hear Ella's answer.
"If you have anything, you use everything." Ella laughs at Roni's behavior.
"Two years, El. I have been waiting for you for two years without certainty. Now you finally give a little hope ya must be loved donk." Roni gave an excuse.
"So you really want to accept me?" roni asked once again to confirm Ella's feelings.
"Almost.one step closer.." replied Ella walked quickly ahead of Roni's step so as not to be asked again.
After fighting with various inner upheavals for several days, Ella finally wanted to get to know Roni more and more. Increasingly trying to open his heart to Roni, maybe he will be able to accept Roni as a new love in his heart.
"meaning? What do you mean, El?" Roni still could not understand the meaning of Ella's words. But he saw Ella had walked quickly, trying to escape from her.
"Ella..." Roni is anxious and pursues Ella as well. Although Roni's footsteps were wider, it was difficult to also pursue Ella's quick steps.
"So let's have a party" Ella paused right at the entrance of the building where Hendri's wedding was held. Ella took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to overcome her nervousness.
How not nervous if he will face his extended family. A big family who always restless and kepo ask about his personal life, his romance. And their question usually always ends with When is marriage? A question Ella could never answer even today.
Roni grabbed Ella's hand and held it gently. As if he could see Ella's uneasiness, the man wanted to give a little calmness and spirit to Ella.
"You're free to say anything about our relationship, I won't mind. You can use me as an alibi, an excuse or even a shield to make you strong." Roni smiled gently to strengthen Ella. "Don't be daunted, I'm right next to you."
"Thank you, Ron." Ella tightened her grip to Roni's fingers. Both of them walk together to enter the building that has been transformed into a weding hall with this lively all-white decoration.
Ella and Roni went straight in, filling in the guest book and barrel provided in front of the building. Ella greeted some of her cousins who served as receiptionists. Shake hands and occasionally make cupiki with them. Do not forget to also introduce Roni who also greeted with a nod of courtesy to the women.
The two of them continued to enter the hall together like a matching couple. Passing through the ranks of middle-aged women and men, who were Ella's relatives. Aunty, om, pakde, budhe even mama and papa are there. Stand as among guests who are in charge of welcoming the guests present. Their existence can be easily found in front of the entrance when new guests come.
Ella immediately greeted and shook hands with her relatives. Not to forget he also introduced Roni who joined hands also politely with them. They paused for a moment after shaking hands with Ella's parents.
"Eh later after the same greeting the two brides go directly to the family section on the right wing. Let's not go get the food," Ella's mom gave the info.
"Ok ready, ma." Ella answered while following the direction her mother pointed to.
"Have you guys come in first, enjoy the party and the dishes served." Papa Ella came to advise because there was already a human traffic jam in their place. A lot of people were there to shake hands behind Ella and Roni.
"Judah we go first, yes" Ella said goodbye to Roni who just nodded politely and smiled lightly as her farewell as well.
The two immediately climbed the bridal podium, shaking hands with Hendri's parents who welcomed Ella and Roni with sumringah. Then proceed to the center of the podium approaching the two happy brides. Mas Hendri and his wife who look like the king and queen tonight in a brownish-themed traditional Javanese dress they wear.
"Congratulations, Hendri. The samawah untill jannah." Ella shook hands with her cousin's sister. Then proceed to the bride as well.
"Congratulations, mbak. May it last until grandparents and many descendants." Ella also greeted the bride. Roni just followed what Ella was doing behind her.
"Thank you El. May soon follow you. Don't you take it long." Hendri replied to Ella's congratulations.
"Yes doain deh," Ella responded to Hendri's remarks while Roni was just as comfortable as a smile without commenting.
Next they continued with several photo shoot sessions with the two brides before saying goodbye and went to greet the bride's parents. Next they went down the podium and went straight to the family section that was shown by mama Ella.
As courtesy Ella invited Roni to greet her large family group who had gathered in one corner of the room. The two of them shook hands and mated with Ella's relatives of all ages.
"Unknown to you all her handsome boyfriend, El?" Aunt Susi interjected after being satisfied to observe Roni as well.
"He knows everyone, this is Roni Ella's boyfriend." Ella introduces Roni who nods politely trying to develop her smile although somewhat awkward with the treatment of Ella's aunt who kepo.
"Where does Roni's son work?" This time, Umi asked Roni.
"I'm still freelance work ma'am," replied Roni slightly down. Confused also want to answer what, said not yet work also as if he is unemployed useless right? Could be more fussy these aunty ntar.
Duh misstep this Roni, inner Ella. It could be even more oppressed if at all it looks low and unsatisfactory for the aunts and budhe this. Should be boasted that they should not dwell hehe. Let's not take too long this shitty interrogation process. "Roni is still in school with Ella. I can't work full time." Ella added Roni's statement.
"Piye? So not working yet? Still school?" Other aunt chirps do not lose kepo. Indeed some people can not understand about what school is done for people as old as Roni.
"School with you, El?" aunt Mira who knew what Ella said added.
"Yes aunt. Roni one campus with Ella just different majors." Ella tries to patiently explain about the school they went to at their old age to school for most people.
"Owalaah. So gini lo, Ella, we know a doctor. And now he said again taking specialist doctor education. If Roni wants this he said school with Ella yes means he is also a doctor and is studying specialists as well." Mira helped explain to her brothers.
"Outdo the doctor to."
"Wes fit podo dokter."
"Pinter ni Ella chose it, got a handsome doctor again." Various responses and spontaneous remarks from budhe and his aunt inevitably made Ella smile wryly. Duh base mom-emak. Try if Roni's work is not satisfactory, surely it will be more painful reaction.
"Take a specialist doctor's major what's Roni?" the more they interrogate.
"Heart," replied Roni briefly. Too confused and awkward surrounded by the women who interrogated him.
"Where's house?"
"Malang."
"When is the plan? Suwe-suwe lho cepetan, Ella is also old when waiting later." This is starting to lead there again to the conversation. Started not as fun as it seems. And of course Roni could not answer.
"It's not good for women of Ella's age who are still not married, too," the more ugly they feel.
"Doain, budhe, aunt. Doain's the best for both of us." Ella tried to mediate, already a little immune to unpleasant talk about marriage. Ella tried to give an answer as neutral as possible which did not lead to speculation.
"Everything first, Ella same Roni want to eat first, it's very laper." Not wanting to expand this annoying conversation, Ella immediately parted and invited Roni away from the crowd of his extended family. Which will certainly continue to gossip after the departure of the two of them.
Roni was also unhappy with the treatment of Ella's relatives, not thinking that the women could be so cruel and firm in commenting on other women. Moreover, they are close relatives who know and know Ella better. Can they say without such empathy?
As a man Roni usually will not bother when asked about marriage problems. It is natural for a 27-year-old man to be unmarried. But as a woman Ella must have had more of an impact with these words. Because at the age of 27 years for women to singgle already a lot of who began to pikran negative about them.
Roni grabbed Ella by the hand and held her tightly but gently, trying to give the girl strength and calmness. They walked to the food and drink booth.
"It's Ok El. You're doin great in your way...And I love the way you are." Said Roni when they had pulled over and took some dishes presented to their plates.
"Thanx yes," Ella answered briefly. Still have to set his heart a little piqued.
"You're the greatest woman I've ever known, El. You have to be confident, you are different from other women. You are much more valuable than those who can only comment maliciously." Roni added her remarks to comfort the gloomy looking Ella.
"No pa-pa Ron. Thank you, Thanx for all you've done for me."
