Friend parked his vehicle in front of Alea’s Boutique. Today they will do the fitting of bridal clothes. Along with Vanila, the man entered the three-story building. They are greeted by Firly. For his nephew's wedding, he immediately intervened in handling the bride-to-be.
“Yangma..” Call a Friend while kissing the back of Firly's hand.
Firly just threw her smile. Although she was only a few years above Reyhan, the woman had to be willingly called eye-to-eye by Rakan. Yangma stands for mama's eyeang, a pair of calls with Dimas commonly called Yangpa.
“This must be Vanilla,” Firly said.
“Call Ila aja.”
“Ok. Friend, you go straight to the second floor. The clothes are ready. Ila follow Yangma.”
Firly immediately invited Vanila into one of the rooms on the ground floor. There were already two employees waiting to help the girl try her wedding dress. Vanilla's eyes looked at the blue wedding dress.
On request, Firly prepared a dress that was not too long dangling. He immediately helped the girl get dressed.
After Vanila put on her dress, Firly lifted Vanila's hair then in the original loop. He seemed satisfied with the appearance of the prospective wife of the friend. The woman took Vanila up to the second floor through the elevator in the room. Raising her dress, Vanila got into the elevator.
While upstairs, you are also trying a tuxedo made for him. With the help of a male employee, he tried tuxedo in navy blue.
The official allowed the tuxedo worn by Rakan. The groom continues to pay attention to his appearance through the mirror that is there. After losing her fiance three years ago, she was finally able to open her heart again and turn her back on Vanilla.
My friend turned his head as soon as he heard a clinking sound. As soon as the elevator doors opened, the first sight to be seen was Vanilla wearing a wedding dress in matching colors. For a moment the man's eyes stared unblinkingly at his bride-to-be.
“Rakan.. don't be dumb,” reprimand Firly.
Firly's reprimand successfully made Friend's face flushed. Vanila also lowered her head, concealing the shame that befell her. Not only Rakan, but she was also stunned to see her future husband who looked handsome and dashing in a tuxedo.
“How Is Ila?”
“Beauty, Yangma smart choose her dress. Simple and closed.”
It has become a habit in the Ramadan family, the men do not like to see the woman he loves wearing open clothes especially those who indulge. It would be better if their partner closed the aurat, but it should be done with their respective consciousness, not because of coercion.
“You have something changed, no? Your clothes fit?” Firly looked at Friend.
“Udah fits the size.”
Firly raised her next thumb. For the dress worn Vanilla also no change. The weight of the bride-to-be has remained stable since the beginning of her measurement. After no more changes will be made, Firly again invites Vanila back to the ground floor. The girl again tried on the bridal outfit for the wedding. However for this outfit, he did not need to show it to Friend.
After fitting clothes, Firly took Friend and Vanila to the third floor. There he prepared cold drinks and snacks. Friends sit in the hallway on the third floor. Vanilla sat down next to him. The afternoon breeze adds coolness to this third floor.
“Wedding we stay another week. You broke up to dowry what?”
“Udah. I want money for the dowry.”
“How much.”
“1000 dollars in fractions of 10 dollars, made a bouquet.”
“Ok.”
He quickly picked up his phone and contacted his assistant. He asked Refal, his assistant to prepare 1000 dollars in fractions of 10 dollars. Not to forget he asked the assistant to deliver it to Alea’s Boutique so that it can be assembled according to the request of his future wife.
“Bang.. about us who will stay apart for a month, have you told your parents?”
“Not yet. The plan is tonight. How are you?”
“Sama, not yet. I also want to chat tonight with mom and dad.”
“You seriously want to do this? I'm sure there will be some opposition from the family. Brother just does not want you to be cornered because of your request this.”
“And just a month, bang. After that we live together like other husband and wife. Where will we stay?”
“Abang already bought a house for us to stay. We will stay separated from the family, to be more independent aja.”
“Ok, bang.”
Smile on Vanilla's face. She was quite relieved that her future husband was willing to fulfill her nyeleneh request to live separately for a month after marriage. All that in order to fulfill his desire to feel the sensation of dating like people in general. Still living apart with their respective parents, not dating after living together.
“Where are you going?”
“I want to go home, bang.”
“Yes, we're home now. Brother is also still a lot of work.”
The two quickly finished the drink, then said goodbye to Firly. Friends open the car door for his future wife, then get behind the wheel. The man immediately drove his vehicle to Juna's residence, where Vanila lived with her parents.

After dinner, Reyhan with the whole family chose to gather in the backyard while chatting casually. On the eve of birth, Iza and Aqeel returned to live in the old man's house. Ayunda did not want her son-in-law to live alone in their home. Afraid that when it was time to give birth, Aqeel was in the hospital.
Ayunda came to bring fruit juice for her son and husband. She placed the glass on the table and sat down next to her husband. Aqeel and Iza chose to sit together on the swing. The man's hand continued to rub the wife's stomach that was getting swollen.
“Aheading HPL, you should reduce busyness,” Ayunda look at Aqeel.
“Iya, ma.”
“Have you prepared a name for your son?” keep Reyhan.
“Udah, pa.”
“I joined the name, pa,” chirped Daffa.
“What?”
“Kohar, hahaha.”.
Aqeel clenched his hand towards the younger brother. She did not want her child candidates to have to bear the name of Kohar, a vegetable maker in this housing complex who became the idol of household assistants. According to untrustworthy sources, Kohar's mang face resembled that of one of the legendary Bollywood artists, Amitabachan.
“Ma.. really yes, mang Kohar his face is rich Amitabachan?” ask Daffa.
“Mana mama tau. You asked Lilis. He who often shop with mang Kohar. Eight o'clock he's ready at the door, waiting for the Kohar mang through.”
“Wah ngga nyangka Lilis fan of mang Kohar, hahaha.”
Seeing the relaxed atmosphere of conversation, Friend decided to talk about Vanilla's request. He cleared his throat for a while before starting the conversation.
“Ehmm. ma.. pa. anyone wants me to obrolin.”
“What's the problem?”
“Soal me with Vanila.”
“What's up?”
“The plan after marriage, for a while I'm the same Ila will stay apart. Not for long, just a month. I stay here, Ila at her parents' house.”
Of course what Rakan said surprised both his parents, and his younger siblings. The atmosphere that had been relaxed, was now starting to turn serious. Ayunda's eyes continued to look at Rakan. There must be a reason why the boy said that.
“Why should stay apart?” ask Reyhan.
“Actually this is Ila's request. He wants to feel what it feels like to be dating. Hence request a separate stay.”
“Jeez, bang. His wife-to-be was strange at his request. His name is already married, he should have stayed together. About dating, it is more cool if you live directly together. So can get to know each other quickly,” timpal Aqeel.
“I also said so, but this is what Ila wants. He wants to date rich people. I say hello, pick her up at home and take her home.”
“If he is rich, how will he live out his obligations as a wife. Keep brother agree?”
“Agree aja.”
“Yes, bang,” Aqeel patted her forehead. Not believing that the brother even agreed to the proposal of his future wife.
“Reason It doesn't make sense. If you want to date, do not have to stay apart as well. And his parents agreed?” this time Daffa asked.
“Not yet, only tonight he wants to tell his parents.”
“What should be a month? Why not a day or two?” sahut Ayunda's.
“He wants a month ma. I've been persuading her a week, she doesn't want.”
“Calon wife brother weird. Wonderful, have an idea kok nyeleneh rich that.”
“The name is also young.”
“It's so boyish. If he is already firmly married to his brother, yes he should be ready with his name of household life. If you live apart for whatever reason, why marriage? Now also brother can shuttle him, do not have to wait until legitimate.”
Daffa shook his head slowly. He really doesn't understand Vanilla's mind. He subconsciously compared Vanila to Geya. Although Geya is still under Vanila's age, but the child is much more mature according to him. When the girl talked about her desire to marry young, she was already very aware of the consequences. Including his freedom which began to be limited.
“I'm the same Iza also dating after marriage. We live together and everything is cool.”
“But you already know each other. If I and I had only known for a few months. It's only natural that he's interested in it.”
Dejected on Aqeel's face, the brother continued to defend Vanila and insisted on fulfilling the wishes of his future wife. Seeing the child who was convinced by his decision, Ayunda did not comment. What Aqeel and Daffa said was enough to represent his disappointment. Reyhan did not say anything, but the look on his face showed dislike.
“Papa to room first.”
Without waiting for an answer from the others, Reyhan immediately got up from his seat. Ayunda, who noticed the change in her husband's attitude, immediately followed her into the room. Friend just let out a long sigh looking at his papa reaction. It was already predicted by him. But on the one hand, he also wanted to fulfill Vanila's wish.
“Mas.” call Ayunda once they get to the room. The woman approached her husband who was sitting on the side of the bed.
“Mas disappointed about the proposal Vanila want to stay separated temporarily with Friends?”
“Iya. But Rakan has decided, what can you do? If you do not remember Ila is a woman who has made Rakan want to continue his life again, maybe mas will immediately cancel this marriage.”
“Sabar, price. Like you said, Ila is young. So his mindset is also still childish. After all they only stayed apart for a month.”
There was no reply from Reyhan, the man crawled up onto the bed and laid down. Ayunda followed up and then laid her body beside the husband. Reyhan is not the type of father who likes to interfere with the lives of his children. But hearing what his eldest son said earlier, the man felt disappointed. For him marriage is a sacred bond and cannot be toyed with at will by the person who runs it.
🍁🍁🍁
On the same night, Vanila was also expressing her desire to stay apart from Rakan after marriage. Although the plan to stay apart for only one month, but it was successful to make both parents surprised. Same with Juna and Nadia.
“You're all right? Why do you marry if you have to stay apart too,” exclaimed Alisha.
“Free a month, ma. I just want to date rich people. Came picked up, home delivered. Don't meet every day, at least just send a message or phone.”
“Emang now you are not rich?”
“Yes different, ma. If we are married, we can freely hold hands, hugs or others. If now you can't, bang Friend hold my hand just never.”
“Ya don't have to stay apart too, La. Mom and Dad also dated after marriage. But we live together. And it feels the same,” this time Viren also commented.
“Mama is the same papa already know from a child, if I have only known for a few months. Still awkward if you live with.”
“Yes if that's the wedding. Grandpa will give you more time to get to know each other if that's your reason. But stay apart after marriage, grandpa totally disagree!”
Vanila's eyes glazed over, she was both annoyed and sad as no one understood and was willing to support her wishes. Nadia moved to sit next to her grandson. She gently wrapped the top of her grandson's head.
“How about Friends? Does he agree?”
“Bang Partners agree kok.”
“He agrees because love is with you. If papa becomes a friend, papa will cancel this marriage.”
Viren's face looked annoyed, he did not dare to imagine how his future iron will respond. Vanilla's attitude indirectly must have affected him as well as Alisha. He was afraid of being judged as a parent who could not teach his child well.
“The wife's position is next to her husband after marriage. Neither mama nor grandma has exemplified that to you. Why do you have such a weird idea? You live in one city and there is no reason to stay apart,” Alisha still can not accept the wishes of her child.
“Contact Friend, papa wants to talk to him tomorrow!” broken Viren.
The man immediately left the living room, then entered the room. Alisha looked at her son for a moment, then got up from her seat, following her husband into the room. Nadia hugged her grandson. Although he also did not approve of Vanila's proposal, but he wanted to give moral support to the girl. Vanila was young, it was only natural that she was still unstable-minded.
“When you ask your friend to postpone your application, he complies with your request. Finally you asked him to propose to you quickly. And now you want to stay apart for reasons that don't make sense. Marriage is not a game. You don't be selfish, Ila. Just because your friend loves you, doesn't mean you can behave as you please. Don't blame her for finally leaving you because of your attitude.”
Juna also got up from his seat. The man went into the room. Suddenly his head was dizzy at the crazy idea of his granddaughter. If Rakan had said that to his family, there would have been trouble. And Juna will obviously be embarrassed by the steps taken by the grandson.
