HAPPIER
CHAPTER 17

Early in the morning I headed to Bery's apartment, the initial intention was to take a taxi, all of you bring a breakfast made by Umi, let's go together to the airport. Not yunya umi and abi even maksa come to Bery's apartment. I was originally really upset, he said because this was my first experience abroad, so they had to send Bery briefing first so as not to bother while there.

"What's? Do they think I'm a child?"

No wonder Bery's reaction later, surely he will increasingly feel the legitimacy to keep telling me little boy.

Bery looked surprised at the arrival of our group. He let umi and abi in and then his eyes looked at me as if asking for an explanation.

"Last night Sky went to the Maldives with you." Umi opened her voice after sitting sweetly on the sofa followed by abi who was smiling cheerfully looking at Bery.

"Yes, abi didn't think you could get such a big project." Connect abi. I explained the purpose of our trip there.

"Yes umi, abi. sorry has not been able to say goodbye. It just so happened that we were invited there to do field studies first. We'll have 3 people there." Bery is quite responsive to understand abi and umi, since last night they have been warning me to go not just alone.

"How long was it there?" Ask umi.

"Upper time umi, effective only two days. It's even more time out on the road." Bery pursed his lips.

"The name is also work service, sometimes you can still go there again if you are married later. Honeymoon..." Celutuk abi raised his eyebrows which at once my eyes caught the umi giving a friendly pinch on his stomach.

Abi looked confusedly at the earth which was even answered with a strange-looking grin in my opinion. What's wrong with Abi's question? Umi looks unhappy.

Bery as well, the look on his face suddenly turned sad.

"Umi and abi want to drink what?" Bery asked straight up to the kitchen. It seems he is trying to divert the conversation.

"Don't bother, honey. Umi's got breakfast for you and Sky." Umi then got up and followed Bery into the kitchen.

Abi and I were left sitting in the living room, if like this, I feel awkward myself, dead style is also so. Where there are still 2 hours left for the airport.

Umi and Bery sounded fun in the kitchen, I don't know what they were talking about.

"Don't forget to submit your views when you're there!" This is the third time he has ordered the same. Last night, in the car and now.

"Yes." Yeah." My answer is short, anyways without being reminded I already know and all this time, not only subjugating the views I do, but more than that, I avoid interacting with them, I cuekin if spoken to, but more, anyway guys like me are the kind of guys that girls hate the most. Less guard what else try?

"Abi was actually hoping that one day you would get married, so that you could understand why the man had to keep his eyes down." Abi expressed his hope.

"No need to get married just don't know why?" Frontal too.

"You're right, that's right. It's just that there are times when you can khilaf so enamored with what is captured by your views out there. If you have a wife, you know where to go home. The man is wild, so it must be tied up and marriage is the strongest bond for that one thing."

I was just silent like a person who lost a character. Maybe I'll think of Abi's wish, but not now. I was young for the size of a boy, there was nothing important chasing me so there was no need to be chased. Lagian married it is not only age enough and enough financial capital, there is more important than that, namely science.

How to get married without knowledge, is married a trial? Fail, marry again, fail again, marry again. I don't want to be like that. If I have to get married, then it's just for once and for all.

"What are you talking about? How's it tense?" Suddenly umi came to unravel our composure. "Breakfast Sky, Bery's been waiting." Umi's orders then return to the kitchen. I followed the steps of the woman I loved the most.

"Sit Sky, why is the breakfast even waiting here?" Bery's question has made my tongue go haywire. I don't know why I want to have breakfast with him either.

"That's a lot?" My protest while moving some of it to Bery's plate.

"Loh..loh..kok moved here anyway?" It was Bery's turn to protest a sign of objection to what I was doing. Not to lose, he then returned it to my plate, so more even.

"It's too much." Susultku.

"Stop stop stop!" Instantly my hand just floated up not meeting its purpose. Umi. "You guys what the hell? You two aren't kids anymore? It's food, eaten!" Umi's words firmly make me and Bery immediately bribe food into the mouth without protest.

"Out of the food, nothing remains!" Umi said still in an annoyed tone.

Me and Bery could only keep quiet, occasionally looking at each other with deadly gazes. Why is he looking at me like that? I should be the one that's angry about this much food. Does my stomach have 2 hulls like what ship?

*****

Maldives

I didn't come here empty-handed with my head empty. A few weeks before I got here, various studies I had done. Mr.Abdullah himself is very cooperative, he is very responsive to various important data that I ask such as contour data, wave height data, water flow data, water flow data, the depth and extent of the area that will be where the building will stand there.

These data will be very helpful to determine the types of materials that will be used later, including the shape of the building itself.

Various long discussions with prof.Alham, professor of shipping techniques who is currently my final task supervisor, our discussions were intensive. Likewise with prof.Irfan lecturer of Civil engineering who is quite close to me because he is also one of the important clients abi.

"Wow.wow..wow...amazing!" Said Mr. Dirga admiring the resort building where we stayed which since setting foot in the airport ceaselessly amazed to see the beautiful panorama that nature shows here.

Mr. Dirga is one of the senior Architects in the office and also the most respected after Bery. Although he was half a century old, but he was very humble and grounded, he could of course make his own Bureau of Architecture company if he wanted to, but because he is the most lazy person with administrative affairs and others, then he chose to devote his knowledge, energy and time with Bery. He just wanted to make an aesthetic and quality design, that's all!

"How about Mr Dirga? Still not sorry not to bring a wife here? Count the umpteenth honeymoon." Bery asked mocking Mr. Dirga. I heard Bery did offer tickets for Mr. Dirga's wife but Mr. Dirga refused.

"We're here for work, not honeymoon, miss Bery! Besides, I feel sorry for both of you, equally single, later not strong to see friendly people." Elak Pak Dirga taunted back.

"Ah, we are relaxed, sir! I used to see it." Bery still won't lose.

"Udah is normal, but baper is too, right? Ha ha ha!" Dirga's laughter exploded followed by Bery who also laughed while shaking his head.

"Sky, is there a boyfriend yet? But do not have to date, get married directly. The girlfriend is not pleasant for you who still seem to fear sin. A little worried about falling into adultery. So if there is something right in the heart, just go to his father." He said while patting my shoulder.

Why is everyone busy discussing marriage with me, not abi, now Mr. Dirga also participate in the matter of marriage.

"Well, Dirga sir, Sky. Comein' father!" Bery chimed in to make my face feel hot. Not because of shame, but because of holding back emotions. I'm tired of that one theme.

"Gee.. Sky shy. Ha ha ha.." Dirga returned laughing at me. Wanted to be angry, but scared the same old. Just give up and let them be happy.
