Love, Life, and Jennifer
Closer
We had finally arrived in front of my house, after wandering around and visiting some places to take some pictures that we had captured.
"Looks like your parents aren't home?" Young Joon said after turning to my garage, which does not have a door.
I smiled at a glance, after turning towards Young Joon turned his head earlier, and nodded faintly.
"It seems like they have a new hobby! Go early in the morning, then go home when the night is late." I said smilingly looking at Young Joon.
Young Joon smiled at me.
Our gazes clashed, creating awkwardness between us.
I immediately looked towards my house.
"Ummm... And so are my parents." He said, I turned back to him
"Eh?"
"Yeah! They also did what both of your parents did!" He laughed a little at me.
We laughed again.
"Jenny..." Prattling
"Yes?"
"Are you busy tomorrow?" Young Joon is doubtful. I smiled
"No, what's up?" Much
"Ummm... How about we go to the home appliance store, to fill our apartment later?" Young Joon looked at me expectantly.
I didn't answer the question directly.
Come to think of it, tomorrow is two days before our wedding day.
Shouldn't we increase our resting hours?
But after thinking about it, instead of getting bored at home, while my friends are busy helping with my wedding preparations, why not!
"All right! What time are you gonna pick me up?" I said.
Young Joon seemed to be thinking with a smile, instead of directly answering my question.
"What if it's 10 in the morning?" He said excitedly. I smiled broadly
"All right." My words faintly nodded.
And when I was about to remove the seat belt, it was a bit difficult, to make Young Joon took the initiative to help me remove this seat belt.
I was really surprised to see the alertness, plus, our distance is really very close now!
I gulped faintly, shortly after Young Joon had removed his seatbelt, and was glued to my face.
It's too close! Very close!
I can even feel the warmth of his breath... Young Joon brought his face closer, but I immediately turned away!
And Young Joon, he's back to his original position, behind the wheel.
"I-i..."
"I-I'm sorry..." Speak with a stammering voice.
I realized something immediately!
I looked at him, and looked at him sharply.
"What do you mean! Huh!" I said while pointing at his face with my chin.
Young Joon looks guilty, now.
"I-i..."
I let out a rough breath, and smiled in annoyance
"WHO do you think you are!!!" I screamed at him.
Young Joon is facing me.
"Jenny, listen to me..."
"I don't think there's anything else you have to explain!" I opened the car door and got out of there.
Young Joon immediately chased after me, who almost held my doorknob
"Jenny, listen to me first!" Young Joon immediately grabbed my hand, and made me turn towards him.
I looked at him with an annoyed look, while Young Joon, he looked at me with a desperate look.
"Look! Just because you're my future husband doesn't mean you can do it..."
Young Joon suddenly took something in his pants pocket, huh!
That's his phone! Then he showed me the image of my face using the front camera of his phone.
Good Lord! What's that! I immediately snatched Young Joon's phone from his hand, and went back to ascertain what was there.
I turned my back to Young Joon, and swept both ends of my eyes, with my fingers.
Damnit damnit! Is this what makes Young Joon look at me like that?!
I'm really embarrassed by this fucking eye shit!
I turned around slowly, and slightly grimaced in shame!
Then reached out my hand, to return Young Joon's phone, without looking him in the face
"I-i..."
"I'm sorry..." Young Joon's words left me stunned, then closed my eyes for a moment.
"Young Joon!" I said, then looked at his face. "I'm the one who should apologize to you... I'm..."
Young Joon immediately grabbed his phone, and smiled.
"That's the biggest eye shit I've ever seen!" Then he said laugh!
It makes me both angry and embarrassed at the same time! Until I punched him in the shoulder
"Aawwwww!!" Young Joon rubbed his shoulder immediately.
"Why didn't you tell me!" When I stopped, Young Joon looked at me annoyed
"I'm just making sure, is it eye poop, or eyeliner!" Also again.
I held my laughter, but I couldn't!
I laughed immediately! Young Joon who was upset, now laughs, and smiles at me.
I realized that, feeling a little misbehaved.
"W-why do you want to stop by?" I said.
Young Joon puts both his hands in his pants pocket, and tilts his face
"Today we've been together long enough... I'm afraid you're gonna get tired of seeing me all the time, so..." I was shocked to hear his words.
"I'm coming home now, yeah... Tomorrow I'll pick you up..." His words then passed.
...****************...
I stared at him until Young Joon's car passed.
To be honest, I am so happy today! I don't know why! And it made me smile as I kept staring blankly forward, until I finally realized something, and faded my smile.
What's wrong with me?!
Am I crazy, smiling alone here?!
I immediately turned my body around, and was intending to enter the house, but the sound of the machine I knew, drew closer to me, made me stop my steps, and turn towards the previous direction.
Denise! He kept his promise! He came with a friend, who was also riding a motorcycle.
"Yester!" His sap then approached me, shortly after putting the helmet on my seoeda motorbike.
"Big, Den! Enter yuk!" Take me
"No, I'm in a hurry." Denis replied, then the friend who came with him, who turned out to be Angga, approached us, and immediately shook my hand
"New motor, Ga?" I asked Angga
"Absolutely! I'm just testing the new bike again Lukman, all of you do!" Angga said while pointing at Denis with the corner of his eye.
"Oowwh... Yes already! You people don't want to stop by first?" I said
"Some, we still have business!" Angga Sahut
"Seriously, lu!" I said again
"Iyeeeee, Ipel!" Denis, then handed me my motorcycle keys.
"Thank's yes, Pel!" Denis said, I nodded faintly
"Yes, let's go back, yeah!" Say Denis again
"Yes, be careful, padan!" My legow
"Ready, boss!" Said Angga, then they passed.
...****************...
At 9 a.m., and again my parents were not home!
Even last night, I did not meet them at all!
I don't even know for sure, they're coming home or not!
I immediately headed to the kitchen, to find a snack that might be able to prop my stomach, before taking a shower.
When opening the refrigerator door, Mbok Minah passed in front of me, preparing a dish.
"Sir Jenny is awake, anyway..." Say it while tidying the dining table.
I immediately gulped down some water, then approached Mbok Minah, and sat down at the dinner table.
"Papa don't go home, mbok?" I asked Mbok Minah.
He glanced at me, serving bread with jam and butter.
"Lho, the same mother did not say the same mbak Jenny, if they went to Bandung yesterday?" Answer mbok Minah.
"To Bandung? Why?" I asked while eating the sandwich provided mbok Minah.
"To his cousin's place father, want to ngundang all wondering what location is it... Honey... What the hell... "
"Honeymoon!" I interrupted Minah's words, then went back to eating bread.
"Naah! Yes that!" Mbok Minah with a smile.
I laughed a little at Minah's innocence.
Mbok Minah looked at me in wonder, making me realize something!
We stared at each other now, until my phone rang.
I stared at the phone screen, Mama!
"Yes, ma." My broom is across here
"Jenny, I'm so sorry my mom didn't bother you." Mom said across the street
"Yes... It'sit's nothing... It's ordinary!" My ketus is right across here, then it's getting off the dining table, heading for my room.
"Darling, ko' that's why." I sound guilty across the street.
"Yes, it is... Oya, by the way, where is the mother now?" I said, then sat down on the sofa located in front of my bed.
"Mama again in Bandung, at his house om Anton, his cousin papa. Would you like to ask, all wonder where the honeymoon is Okay, because he has a travel business that, so..."
"Wait a minute, ma! Honeymoon place?" I immediately interrupted my mother's words
"Yes... After the reception, you don't want a honeymoon?"Mom sounded really excited across the street.
"Y-yes... Yeah but it's..."
"The point is that you are the same Young Joon accepted in order, baby... Uh, it was, yeah! Mama is so complicated! Just first, yeah! Mama try to come home today, baby..."
"L-yes... But, ma..." The phone call suddenly broke!
Damnit damnit! What the fuck! What's with them actually! I threw my phone to the end of the couch, and laid my body there, until I realized something!
I grabbed my phone to watch the clock.
When I saw my phone screen, it was 9:40!
I immediately rushed to take a shower, and prepared because Young Joon will be picking me up soon!
...****************...
It's 10:13, and I'm still not done getting ready!
Damnit damnit!
I spent my time just choosing what clothes I would wear to go with Young Joon later!
You idiot!
But, wait! It's past 10, and Young Joon hasn't arrived at my house yet?
Young Joon isn't usually like this!
Usually he would arrive at my house a few minutes before the appointed time!
So, what's up with him today?
I got out of the room as soon as I was ready.
In the end, I decided to wear navy jeans and a white sleeveless blouse and let my hair run down.
I looked back at the phone screen, to see the clock there.
It was 10:29, and Young Joon hadn't arrived yet, so I decided to wait for him in front of my house.
When I just closed my door, suddenly Young Joon came to me.
"I'm sorry, it's a little late." He feels guilty.
I looked at him, then smiled.
"It's okay, I just finished." I said.
...****************...
"There was something important in the office earlier, so I had to finish it first." Young Joon said, looking at me.
"Why should I?" I answered, then looked at him.
Young Joon looks wrong now.
"Jenny, i..."
"I think, if it's about work, you shouldn't feel compelled." I said continue.
"Jenny..."
"Work is an obligation that you have to..."
"But I promised you first..." Young Joon is looking at me deeply.
I'm woken.
Why there should be traffic signs!
Young Joon is always waiting for the lights to change color while looking at me!
And it makes me awkward!
"I-it's... "
"Because carrying out my promise to you is the main obligation I have to do!" Young Joon is still looking at me, and it makes me a little claustrophobic!
I immediately looked straight at the road
"Joon, the lights are green..." I said without looking at him.
Young Joon then restarts the vehicle.
...****************...
Finally we arrived at a home supply store, I think more precisely, a special mall of household supplies!
Young Joon asked me to choose whatever we needed in our apartment.
He always asked for my opinion when choosing a variety of household supplies, from furniture, to electronic devices.
And when I stood in front of a single sofa, Young Joon came up to me, and said.
"You want this one?" He said staring at the sofa, I turned to him and smiled.
"I've always loved the sofa in front of the bed." I said.
Young Joon smiled
"Well, we'll buy this one too!" He said excitedly.
Finally, after spending a few hours, we finished buying all the equipment we needed, and all the items we bought, will be delivered tomorrow morning to our apartment.
We had lunch at a Japanese restaurant. I chose this restaurant because it is one of my favorite restaurants!
And incidentally, Young Joon also loves Japanese food!
"I like it." Young Joon said, then devoured his food
"Eh, what?" I mentapnya.
"Do you like the food?" I said smiling widely.
Yet Young Joon smiled, then shook his head faintly
"No..." Young Joon's words faded my smile.
"Then what?" I said slightly bending my face.
"I like your broken hair." He said with a smile.
It makes me blush!
I feel the heat on my cheek.
But I immediately switched this conversation
"Young Joon, what if tomorrow we tidy things up?" I said propose.
Young Joon frowned before answering.
"Jenny, the day after tomorrow we're getting married... Can't do..."
"Tomorrow night, my friends will throw a release party at my house, they don't want me there until nightfall." I said.
Young Joon looks at me, then smiles.
"Well, tomorrow morning I have to go to the office, what if I pick you up at..."
"No need! I'll come there myself! You gave me the access key, right?" I said then sip my drink.
Young Joon smiled.
"All right, I'll be there at about 1pm." Young Joon said.
...****************...
In the end, we decided to go straight home, as we felt quite tired today.
"I thought, we're gonna stay in my apartment for a while." Young Joon said as he continued to focus on driving.
"Eh?" I said looking towards him.
Young Joon glances at me, then smiles.
"Yeah! I asked for two weeks' leave, I thought it was enough to clean things up..."
"What is the number of rooms in your apartment?" My toot.
Young Joon laughed at my question
"Why are you laughing!" Snide
"Hey! What's wrong with you!" His words turned towards me at a glance
"You just need to answer my question!" Sinisku again.
"Two..." Young Joon replied
"What about your mom and dad?"
"They'll definitely be home, once the party's over." Answer
"No! Still I have to clean up the stuff tomorrow!" I said.
"Jenny..."
"It doesn't matter if you want to stay in your apartment as soon as the party is over, but I..."
"Jenny..." Young Joon looked at me deeply, as soon as the traffic light was red.
"It's gonna hurt both of our parents."
