My Beloved Perjaka
All good

As soon as the night I spent with Abhimanyu discussing, making boiled noodles and watching football broadcasts, I made some careful preparations to welcome the arrival of the Abhimanyu family at my parents' house.

"How many of Abi's family came, Nyah?" ask aunt Marni while sweeping the living room.

"It's just his father and stepmother, nobody else knows it's a secret. RT sir don't know, beware aunt gossip when buying vegetables!" I said remind.

"No, Nyah." Aunt Marni sneered. "It's aunty who cooks, don't need catering. As quiet as the guest."

I grimaced and nodded, tomorrow's proposal was indeed quiet, I was only accompanied by Alexa Liu's parents, aunt Marni and Joe because I did not want to give hope in my second marriage. Now, quite simple, intimate, but long lasting. Because after all I have to maintain the privacy of my own life and the popularity of Abhimanyu in the entertainment world.

Silence hung in the air of the cemetery the next day. Me and Aunt Marni came to my parents' last home amid the lustre of longing that was imprinted in my heart.

"Father, sir, Miss Bella asked the aunt for permission to grant her daughter and the father married a young man named mas Abhimanyu Julian Rudolf, son of father Rudolf and mother Jayanti. If the father and mistress agree, the aunt will leave everything to the Lord to make the process easy."

In the fret that still haunts me, my heart and eyes warm to hear aunt Marni tell me. Just like I said yesterday, if indeed my parents and God bless something that we have planned well, Abhimanyu will come tonight. If not, something has to be put off, and changed to a family dinner.

"Mama and papa must have blessed Abhimanyu to be his ex, Bi. Now we go to Bu Jayanti's grave."

I touched Aunt Marni's shoulder, she turned her head while bending her hand to touch and clasping my hand on her shoulder.

"Bismillah, Nyah."

We took turns hugging and kissing the headstones of my mom and dad after two baskets of white rose petals we sprinkled on the grass that adorned my parents' graves.

"Bye, ma, pa. The second one is hopefully good with Bella yes even though she is young, passionate, and belongs to the rame-rame because she is an artist."

"Weh, non Bella is how to even say that Abi mas is an artist, if the father and the big lady are surprised how?" aunt Marni's nagging while bowing through the gravestones lined up along the tomb of Jayanti's mother.

"Let's just Bi, let mom and dad know my husband is an artist, that guy's his job."

Aunt Marni dyed, looking for the name I mentioned all the way to this public cemetery. Jayanti bin Maryono Sukadi's mother, the original wong of Solo Abhimanyu said last night

"That's Nyah, that's." pointed at aunt Marni with a relieved expression. I smiled when I found a handful of fresh red roses also on top of the tomb. Like above eating mom and dad.

"Definitely have Abi here, Nyah. Aunt sure."

The pride in her tone made me feel proud. If so, I'm very happy to hear it. Abhimanyu took the morning early to visit here before college and work. I'm more and more sure he's struggling to show seriousness.

"Sit, Nyah."

"Yes, yeah." I immediately knelt down while sowing white rose petals while saying words and prayers to ask for the blessing to complete Abhimanyu. Because with that, by doing something like Abhimanyu did, the direction of our goal will be more directed.

Dusk sullen increasingly disappeared in my eyes when I looked at the sound of the Adzan, I pinched the long dress that I used for the application later.

"Auntie, all good?" I asked after tracing the ground floor, the busyness that occurred in this house was completed an hour ago. Although not a festive and luxurious proposal, I still want to welcome the arrival of the Abhimanyu family by decorating the new tables in this house with fresh flowers.

"All good, Nyah." Aunt Marni thumbs up. "All the favorite dishes of mas Abi and missus are still warm."

"Good." I have to make sure myself if it is still warm by eating it, gerogi makes me hungry quickly. Where all day Abhimanyu no news, I continue to be hit by prolonged anxiety and not finished before he came.

I shuffled to the dining room, scooped a solo soto into the bowl and ate it with a graceful grit that carefully until it felt like the spices in this soto were bland. But, this was one of Abhimanyu's favorite dishes that reminded him of the warmth of Jayanti's mother.

I hurriedly put the bowl under the table covered with a white tablecloth until it touched the floor.

Kuseka ex-guy on my lips that glowed brightly with a tissue while darting quickly into the living room.

"Om, Auntie." They spread out both hands, hugging me alternately with an amused smile that was held back.

"Congrats, Nonic. You hockey also apparently got chicks!"

"Chicken boy?" I grinned, fuck emang Alexa Liu, she must have been woro-woro about Abhimanyu.

"What's important is that he's really a rooster, Om. I must have waited for him to crow." I said to console myself.

Om Khoue Alexander Liu. His distended stomach twitched nimbly, while his wife covered her face bashfully.

"Sorry Bella, Khoue joking. You're not sure he's a rooster? Haven't you seen it?"

"Tante, I haven't seen!" I whispered as if I was afraid that Abhimanyu would hear it out there.

Aunt Nita came up, I sighed after telling them to sit down and wait for the arrival of Abhimanyu.

No need to wait long. About twenty minutes after pouring red wine into a glass for my special guest, Joe pushed open the door and let Abhimanyu into my house alone.

"Where is your family, baby?" aunty Nita asked after receiving Abhimanyu's hand and looked back at Abhimanyu like looking for a piece of diamond in the desert.

Abhimanyu grimaced clumsily. Although handsome by using a black tuxedo and white sneakers. He shook weakly.

"I didn't know I had to bring the Oma family. I guess—" he admitted with a tone that was lowered by an octave. He looked at me sadly.

"It's okay babe, it's okay, no problem." I stroked his back, calming down while grasping his cold hand. "You're very brave to propose to me alone, that's my future husband. Dare."

Khoue burst open as he moved, he clapped his hands proudly.

"Truly rooster you're Bella's boyfriend! Let's start the proposal before you pass out and get canceled." Khoue embraces Abhimanyu's shoulder.

"You're a man, right? Opa Liu asked your girlfriend to ask you that, Mantu." asked Khoue closely, while everyone also heard his voice aloud without further ado.

"I'm your boyfriend's best friend, I know all his secrets from childhood. Are you ready to be Bella's husband, Mantu?"

"I'm sure ready, opa!" abhimanyu replied calmly and a little worriedly.

Spontaneous Khoue crisped crisply as he pointed at me at the dining table. "It's not Bella's chick, it's your boyfriend's rooster."

I nodded and wanted to hide under the dining table. Free beautiful, my face is gone because of papa's most nyaho friend.

"Let's go play to Opa's house. Opa tell all the secrets of Bella's daughter-in-law so you're not surprised when you marry her. But now you have to propose to me and Marni first. You got the ring, Abhimanyu?" khoue asked, this time his face became serious.

We all immediately looked at Abhimanyu seriously, is it possible that he also forgot that important ring?

Abhimanyu groped his chest nervously after his breath seemed choked, his face looked panicked, but his smile remained.

"I, I don't know what Auntie likes. This is all I can buy."
