Jogja, You & Memories
The 44th stall

I held out two cups of black coffee to Dominic and the father who was spending the morning on the porch while taking down the guest list.

Father looked at me sadistically until I lost interest in joining them. I turned my face to the crowing chicken while scurrying into the next yard as if it was connected to my mind.

”Bapak think you can be trusted, it turns out. yesterday's problem is not finished you make trouble again. Not satisfied with your life a lot of problems?”

I threw my body in the chair while pinching Dominic's little ass.

“If so father do not add my problem to, already know his son a lot of problems. You follow my problems by constantly getting angry. You know I'm not home!”

“Sorry Race, you must know!” dominic said, expressing concern by shaking his head.

Must know! Or caper?

Approached the feeling of guilt because of ndablek I took a breath and looked at my father.

“Iya I was wrong, I came to Pranata's house with Romi. Wong I thought I was going to face his mother's father and apologize. Gratitude-gratitude received so that my burden decreases, another year. That's also because I don't know, sir. Try if you know, I must have been with you!”

“What do you want now, Ras? Mr. this is already sepuh, already want to live a quiet life.”

“I mean father, you already want to follow Pranata to heaven?” I glared as my legs were stepped on by Dominic, he pressed with all his might until I stroked his back while smiling wryly.

“Not eternal calm, Rastanty. Gobl..” Dominic sighed, his countenance stunned as he nearly slipped.

“The father of quiet lookingin who is not much of a mind, Ras!” it's more calm.

“Oh, speaking sir.” I smiled wryly even though in my heart, that wave of curiosity banged into my mind.

When Dominic can be found out. Today it feels very calm, he did not feel like he was scolded by my father because he was caught kissing me last night. Nice really.

“Now you ask me, Ras. How do you want?”

“How-how, everything has been arranged by father Dominic. I must now obey wes, promise.” I said resigned from the length of his business. The contents of my head are still not added to the business of wedding preparation which is still 25%.

“Can you not make a stupid decision if Kendranata comes here?” You asked seriously, the frown on his face was clear.

“Maybe my heart keeps wondering, sir. He's Kendranata or Pranata. There are so many questions that Rastanty wants to ask if I hallucinate her Pranata. That's why I need Dominic now until I get married, okay? Would you allow your future father-in-law here?” I replied in a voice that I deliberately lowered.

A faint smile was seen on Dominic's face even though he seemed indifferent to my statement just now.

I looked at me and Dominic took turns. “Mr definitely allow it, but I don't want to see you guys like last night. Can you two promise me?”

I sighed helplessly as Dominic asked me to shake hands.

“I promise I won't repeat last night, Ras. I'm sorry, I'm khilaf.”

I glanced, lamis so lambene.¹ But I nodded let you calm down, ayem serenely continue not to get angry. I will be screwed if my father is not there.

“We promise, sir. But after marriage it will be different story to, sir?” ask Dominic afterwards.

I leaned a little body.

“You obviously already know, le.” he said half a whisper, while my skin was still very normal.

I cleared my throat, Dominic pulled the end of my shirt before I left.

“We went to the hotel again, Ras. Meetings. You change clothes, which is funny if there is.”

“You want me to wear a clown costume?” I said pointing at the coffee on the table. “Paijo talks good coffee at drinking warm-time, so drink! I'm going to take a shower.” Cynic I looked at Dominic and then Dad before I went into the house.

“They both must have made plans.. insane plan.” I grit my feet while putting a tray on my head. “I'm sure.” I said as I sauntered into the room, preparing a funny dress that was somehow funny. Do men really like strange requests?

I set myself in the mirror after wearing a bright yellow midi dress with small, sleeveless flowers. The platform shoes Dominic bought me gave me a very different appearance from yesterday.

“Maybe this is funny to him, if not funny, stupid very.”

I came out of the room after hearing the car horn repeatedly sound.

“That's so bad for you, Dom!” I said I was impatient when I got into the car.

“Widih.. tumben wear colorful clothes.” Dominic suddenly raised my arm. “Anjirrr, so really you were waxing yesterday with Michelle?”

“That's all you need?” I lowered my arm quickly. “The crazy part is also you, why suddenly look at the armpits!”

“Everything in waxing?” The smile on Dominic's face was amused.

I clicked a finger in his mouth. “Do not ask questions!”

“Marketing.” Dominic grinning. “But I'm trying to think positive now.” Dominic sighed softly. His eyes stared at the outside spy before pulling out the hotel's car from the boarding yard.

Arriving at the hotel that seemed to be filled with a tourist bus in his parking lot, Dominic wore a work coat that he hung in the passenger seat.

“Ready, Race?”

“Prepare to, but... have you talked to your father about the cost?”

“Already.”

“Keep my money already?”

“Oke, let me have my face money later as a sign so.”

“Cie optimists want to marry.”

“Yaiya—lah.” I pursed my lips. “Some can go berserk and sulky if they fail.”

“I'm with your father?”

I nodded along with her who was already combing her hair and wearing perfume. Dominic puffed his sling bag and then spread his sweet smile.

“I promised you I wouldn't kiss your lips, but I can still kiss your forehead, your cheeks, and your nose.” Dominic made it happen in one breath all over my face.

“Down, Race.”

I don't know how to respond, all this time I'm not used to physical touch with the opposite sex, let alone my own best friend. Although the feeling of comfort and not it was balanced all over my body.

We entered the hotel and headed straight to the marketing manager room which seemed more alert to welcome Dominic first.

“We just start.” said Dominic as if he was starting a meeting like his father did. Realizing, I immediately observed him from the very end of the chair with narrowed eyes. Don't-don't you? I patted my cheek, he's going to continue the family business. So boss. Dumplings... Backpacker vs boss?

We heard an explanation from the makeup and bridal style team about what theme we wanted to choose.

“I want to wear custom Java Dodotan for reception.” Dominic said telak. “For my contract I want all white.”

“Good, for bridal makeup want the how?”

“Anything of origin makes Rastanty even more beautiful.”

I'm poignant. He never praised me in front of such a crowd. And if I had wings, I'd like to approach without the movement she knows to just squeeze her lips that makes me blush and misbehave.

The make up and bridal style team nodded and wrote down our options.

“Fitting kebaya akad can be done today to speed up preparations. Do Dwayne's father and mother have free time? About an hour?” His name looks at me and Dominic.

“All you guys I want prewedding. I little naughty but romantic and classic. Indoor.” he said looked excited.

I gulped repeatedly. Starting a lot of want, starting to be-so, even though I only brought a down payment of six million in my savings so far.

Dominic took out a wad of money without him counting from his bag while he gave it to the marketing manager.

“As its face.”

“Eh I aja.” I got up while opening my little bag. I put my money next to Dominic's money which is twice as high as mine. “Lack of waiting for mr. mas.” I said quietly then embrace Dominic's shoulder.

“Take your money fast! Jogja business my father's business!”

“That makes pay for my family hotel rent later yee.” Dominic grinned, his hand pushing the whole money.. “Acumulate and give me the details of the cost.”

“I will send asap.” The marketing manager nodded.

“Mari, we go directly to the salon and bridal.” invite Pia with his team who have stood.

In less than half an hour, we had arrived at a salon and bridal building in downtown Jogjakarta that had a photo studio. We both started with kebaya fittings before going to the process of prewedding i little naughty but romantic and classic.

I don't know what concept Dominic chose, only to worry too if we had to be a little naughty in posing instead of just ordinary and commonplace for couples to marry.

“Dom, do you mean what the hell is gini very concept?”

“Rare and funny.”

“So I'd really like to wear pajamas, you collorant? Sinting kok ngajak-ngajak.”

“The concept is a little naughty but romantic and classic. It fulfills my wish Ras, consider it a picture of us out of wedlock.”

“Ticking!”

Dominic chuckled and stared at my body from top to bottom blatantly.

“Anyway you should show your expression the same time annoyed me, can, Ras?” her prayer while patiently waiting for me in the dress up.

“Bust can.” The hairdresser who was making my hair fall apart boasted a smile.

“So far brother.”

Yeyy, I've been in front of the makeup mirror for a long time. I stood up as I stretched my muscles before approaching Dominic. He smiled as he touched my waist with one hand.

“You're beautiful today and I love it. You're another once..” Dominic hummed while looking at me fixedly with a stifled smile.

“I will not forget the face of a nineteen-year-old girl without makeup who saw me until gawking and now the girl is really mature, stunning and—”

I stick out my tongue while twisting my eyes. “You don't make me ashamed let alone salting!”

“I try.” Dominic kissed me on the cheek and held my body for a long time until the entire makeup staff in this room looked away with a red hue on their cheeks.
