...88. Stop wishing I'd accepted my mistake...
Kirei
They stand on the third row after the bride and groom. Right behind the pair of Kasih and Arik. Walk from the ballroom's main door to the stage through a long red carpet. Surely while holding groomsmen. The other and not Danang is her husband.
Then behind Willian and Anita. Behind him again following the couple Rangga and his wife.
“Beauty!” And repeatedly Danang spoke like that since he saw her out of the bridal room.
He looked at Danang. Reviewing the smile, displaying a pair of dimples imprinted there.
Highlight the camera along with the lights follow the path of the bride's motorcade slowly but surely. He always smiles at everyone.
“Sore we go to the place of Mr. Banuaji,” said Danang.
He nodded. While continuing to smile returned people's gazes to them.
“Do not smile much!” Danang.
“Should've made it don't overdo it like gini.” Imbuh Danang who instantly made him immediately round his eye bead. The man is not willing, he looks like this. Though if observed, he was accustomed to make up by professional MUA. Although he always chose the flawless in every appearance of his show. It's a little different today. Slightly conspicuous.
“Mas ...!” His growl's stifled. The next second he smiled displaying a row of his teeth. They also became the center of attention of the guests.
“Just don't be far from me.” Danang. She tightened her hand. The man doesn't care about the situation around him. Even with a partner behind him who clucked many times.
“Examer!!” Willi's grouse overheard all Danang's conversations. It envies the couple bridesmaid-groomsmen lovingly join hands. While himself? Gotta bite a finger.
Danang chuckled. But only for a few seconds. Because they have arrived on stage.
A pair of brides had stood on a majestic stage. She was still holding her husband walking towards the VIP table.
Danang held up a chair for him. “Still, Mas.” The reply. Then her husband sat next to her.
Coinciding with William and Anita who also arrived and approached their table. Followed by Love and Arik who carried his two children. Rangga and his wife who had sat before their arrival.
“Sini Mbak, the ...” He observed the adhesiveness of one identical twin baby so as not to be wrong, “Aryasetya," he added.
Love threw Aryasetya's baby at her. He was quick to hold me.
“Funny yes, Mas.” She plays that adorable baby fingers with her tightly held index finger.
Danang smiled at him, “We can make 10 like this.”
“Masssss!!” Her great-grandchild.
William who was sitting next to Danang clucked.
“Do not 10. Not yet, Ndan!” Willi replied while sneering.
“Again programmed.” Tukas Danang will not lose.
“Emang can not have twins give birth to twins?” Ask. Follow curious. Although Anita was sitting next to Willi, but the dentist had noticed.
“Can,” sahut Anita.
“How to do?” And attacked quickly.
“But the chances are small. One to eighty.”
“If through tube or IVF baby method, the chances can be 1 to 5.”
Baby Aryasetya has taken baby sitter.
“You were told papa was using a fertility drug?” Ask Anita.
He nodded.
“Well, fertilizing drugs can also stimulate the ovaries to support more than one ovarian follicle each month towards maturity. As a result, more than one egg will be released.”
Danang smiled as a fuss.
“Consumption of folic acid supplements can also.”
“Besides?” And more enthusiastic. Clearly, the male consul could not accompany him.
“Pregnant over 30s. Because during ovulation the body tends to release more than one egg.”
Danang immediately attacked, “This way is not included. Kelama.” The man looked towards him.
“From the food side should also support. Consumption of foods such as dairy products, foods rich in zinc, containing sources of progesterone and phytoestrogens, and foods rich in iron and folic acid.” Anita.
“And there are many other tips as well. Yesterday must have been explained as well papa, right?” Anita Pungkas.
“Really, Dear?!” Danang. He rubbed the back of his hand on the table.
He nodded.
While William was grieving. Because they sit among them. So clearly hear everything. Child discussing. Fertile drugs. Folic acid. The IMF program uh, what was it? Like borrowing debt abroad, he thought. His ears are itchy and hot.
“One day, you will definitely be rich gini!” Tukas Danang's. “Makanyya spit marriage!” Stringency.
William immediately turned his head towards Anita, “Otewe yes, Babe.”
Anita glared at William.
“Saingan lo dateng,” whispered Danang when Rendra approached him.
“Again, Mas .. uh No Mbak Anita.” Sapa Rendra awkward. Stalely alkaline.
William has started to put up the horses.
“So miss the song, Mas?” Ask Rendra.
“So.” Danang Sahut.
“Oke.” Rendra was about to pass, but turned to Anita, “mom beautiful doctor!” Slitting his eyes.
William seemed to tighten his jaw.
While Danang chuckled at the situation before him. She immediately warned her husband. “Mas ...”
“Iya .. yes. A rare view of nih.” Kilah Danang still chuckles.
He wants to get out of the chair, “Where to go?”
“I want a cingur rujak, Mas.”
“OK wait here, I fetchin.”
While Kasih-Arik couple is busy chatting with the couple Rangga and his wife.
**
Danang
He walked towards the row of food buffets available at the end of the room. Looking for the whereabouts of rujak cingur requests his wife.
But accidentally his shoulder nudged someone, “Sorry ...” he said quickly.
“It’s okay ..”
Feeling familiar to each other with the voice, the two threw eyes at each other.
“Canjar.”
“Andang.”
Saying simultaneously.
“You are here too, is business business done?” Ask.
Fierce Hand on the air, “Presents the company.”
“Oo,”
“You?” Ganjar asked him.
“Wedding of friends,”
The two carved each other a faint smile.
“Oke, I'm first. My wife wants rujak cingur.” Tukas Danang patted Ganjar's upper arm. Then pass away.
He gave his wife a rut to his wife.
“That ate a lot.” He said as he leaned towards Kirei's ears.
**
Kirei
The show keeps rolling. He was still sitting in the VIP desk chair. In front of him a lot of food. Danang and the others were greeting business associates at the other table. While he, Anita, Kasih and Rangga's wife chatted without pause.
“Oya ... Ma'am, I go to the toilet first, yeah.” Her speech. Get up from the chair.
Arriving at the toilet apparently needs to queue. He is in third place.
He went back into the ballroom. But his feet stepped towards the beverage buffet. He picked up a thick ice he had never encountered while in Jakarta. Favorite drink for him while still working on TVS first.
The sound of the wedding singer is still soft with romantic songs.
I can show you the world
Shining, splendid shimmering
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us, "no"
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
(Now I'm in a whole new world with you)
“Rei,” greet someone from beside him. He also directly looked.
“Ganjar, here too?” Ask a little surprised. He thought Ganjar had business interests only.
Ganjar nodded, “Sorry ... am I interrupting?”
Momentary pause.
“Better we find a place,” the proposal. It is not possible to talk in front of the buffet of drinks by standing up and passing people.
“Bby.”
Unbelievable sight
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
(Don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see
(Hold your breath, it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
With new horizons to pursue
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
a whole new world - Brad Kane&Lea Salonga
They've been sitting on round table chairs. Near the buffet drink area.
“You ...” Undoubtedly opening the conversation. “Invitation too?”
He nodded, “Wedding temen.”
“I too. Representing the company.” Sahut Ganjar's.
It's mangosteen and, “Oh,”
“Sorry ... means ... last night, about ... he—”
The corner of his lips lifted slightly, “He's my husband, Gan.”
Momentary pause.
Lousy.
“Mas Danang my husband. Sorry I didn't get to introduce you last night.”
***
Fidgety
His dream at the top of the Himalayas instantly plunged free into a deep, steep valley. Hearing Kirei's confession just now. Like being struck by lightning.
Husband.
Danang, husband?
“Oke, I'm up first. My wife wants rujakcingur."
They ... husband and wife? He cupped his face. Oh ...stupid!
But tonight he should have said his feelings for the second time. Tonight he should have asked for answers to the expression of feelings while in the Komako room a few years ago. Tonight should be a night of hope for him. He should have felt relief in his chest tonight. But instead his chest was crammed with invisible stones.
But, uh,
Ah .. If only he had not been a coward. If only he hadn't just disappeared and appeared after a full moon. If only he had first sought his existence .. if only he would fight for his love. If only it were not rash. If only he was not selfish. If .... if .. and if ....
Oh ... shit!
He rubbed his face.
He chose to return to Indonesia to re-knit his old, imperfect love. Choose Indonesia to pursue what it has left behind. Choosing Indonesia because his heart turned out to be still for him. Choosing India because of someone. Yes ... the reason is you!
Now, his hope is gone. Along with the departure of Kirei who was taken by Danang to the stage. Taking pictures together. Really am. It's so painful!
“Sorry, Gan .. I have to go.”
“Thank you .. success for you.” Kirei's last sentence before leaving. Make him nail for a moment.
He breathed his breath rough. Closing your eyes for a moment. Then get up from the chair.
***
Danang
Along with his friends he has been standing on the stage of a wedding band holding a guitar. Aksa drums, Arik bass and Rendra vocals.
They tried musical instruments for a moment. While Kirei sat looking at it. Giving standing applause. Carve his best smile.
I'm not a perfect person,
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning, the,
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go, that I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me,
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new,
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you,
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you trough,
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all you tears,
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me,
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new,
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
