The banquet was immediately held at Villa Anantara Uluwatu. It was true, it turned out that the Villa was large and majestic. This villa is next to a very amazing beach cliff. There are no other words I can say other than ‘Wow’.
This banquet event is held at the back of the Villa with its vast green grass that presents views of the offshore beach. The night atmosphere there is so beautiful with decorative lights next to the yellow to emasan garden. There are many parasman tables along the garden stairs. There are various kinds of food there.
I have come with Aditya by dressing up neatly and simply. I wear a long-sleeved sky-blue dress and with a beautiful bottom, my hair this time tied back with messy hair. I took Aditya who was wearing a long-sleeved shirt also in blue to match me.
“This is a banquet event? Or our wedding reception?” Ledek I saw his fancy show that night.
Aditya also smiled, laughing at what he saw.
“This is to welcome the family of my future wife, they want to give the best for you bi” Aditya replied.
“Yes but is this not too much?” Ask me.
“Udah bi. We just follow,ayo” invites Aditya to take me to join his family.
There have been a lot of Aditya's extended family with his Grandma. I met a lot of new people there, and there were also Andre's parents there. I greeted them stiffly, for I still remembered how his Papa had cornered me during the talk of that time with the Aditya family.
“Andre hasn't come home om?” Tanya Aditya tries to be friendly to Papa Andre.
“Says he came home today, but we also have not heard from him” replied Papa Andre kindly.
“She's busy taking care of her books there. He again has his new book launch event he said yesterday at the Petronas” twin tower continued Papa Andre with great pride.
“Wow Petronas?” Ask Aditya the song.
“Iya. Cool right?” Say it so proudly.
I'm happy to hear that. As his Andre has managed to make his Papa believe with his jeripayah all this time, Andre has successfully made his Papa proud.
“Hay all” greet a woman who suddenly joined by carrying a parcel in her hand.
Anandites. She is so graceful with her yellow dress, whatever clothes she wears will look so perfect and charming, I admit her beauty.
“Hay Anandita” greet Papa Andre.
It is true, Anandita already knows the Aditya family, even Papa Andre also knows her.
“Hay Om, how are you?” His greeting is so sweet.
“Baik”
“Tante?” Tanya Anandita looked at Mama Andre beside her Husband.
“Tante is also good beautiful. Where do you live now?” Ask Mama Andre.
“In Germany tan, I have a business there” Anandita replied with so proud of her.
“Waw, how great. Already beautiful, well, the printer has been able to take care of his own business again” praise Mama Andre by stroking his hands.
I feel uncomfortable in this situation. I felt so bad about Anandita.
“Still aunt” said Anandita with sweetness.
“Hay dit,hay Dheb” his greeting staring at us both.
“Hay” reply us by smiling at him.
“I bring brownie your favorite peanut flavor dit” said Anandita by thrusting her tentengan food.
I raised my bowls to the parcel Anandita gave to Aditya.
“Uh Aditya” favorite said Mama Andre made me glance at her secretly.
“Iya Aunty, I also still want to cook Aditya” favorite food replied by looking at Aditya with his sweet.
“Hay let's all eat” say hello Mama Aditya come up to us and touch my shoulders gently.
“Ayo Dheb Mama and Papa You have been waiting there” said Mama Aditya.
I looked at the table behind me. My mom and dad were sitting there with Papa Aditya.
My family and Aditya's family sit at one table. The others sat at separate tables. My extended family is also here to accompany me at my wedding later. All airfare and residency costs are on the responsibility of the Aditya family. Actually Papa also did not want to charge all the fees to the Aditya family, because Papa said that he was also still able to finance the plane tickets and their residence. But Papa Aditya said, if all that is their responsibility and they want if their gifts are received well.
We have all started eating at the table with beautiful sea views and the view of the galaxy above us which is so amazing with the sprinkling of stars that decorate our nights.
I saw Aditya glancing at Papa's plate in his presence. Papa is eating crabs so deliciously, and I'm sure Aditya must be tempted by remembering the taste. I smiled at the look on Aditya's face, who kept glancing at Papa's plate. I stood up without excuse and immediately went to where the seafood food was.
I took some crabs up my plate, and searched for scissors around there.
“Excuse me kak” said I stopped the waiter who just passed behind me.
“Iya bu” says politely.
“Can you have scissors?” Ask me politely too.
“Oh crab scissors?”
“Iya” answer me.
“Before bu”
Then she went behind the buffet table and took something under her.
“This bu” she gives new crab scissors under the table.
“Thanks”
“Sama-sama”
I immediately cut the crab to serve Aditya. It's about time she showed her parents that Aditya could actually eat crabs again.
Someone was standing next to me with a plate in his hand. It was Anandita, she was sorting out the food milah before her. He glanced at the food I was cutting with scissors.
“You know Aditya can't eat crabs?” Said Anandita made me fixated to instantly digest her question.
“O well?” Answer me without turning her head and cut my crab back.
“You don't know, why Aditya is allergic to crabs?” Her question again made me upset reluctant to turn her head.
“You are Aditya's future wife, why can you not know about Aditya?” Ledek Anandita with a tone that is so annoying.
I kept the scissors on top of the other plate, cleaned my hands and stared intently at Anandita.
“I already know everything” replied me with sweet try talking to her.
Anandita looked at me confused.
“I know Aditya is not a crab allergy, but he's just afraid of eating crabs. And I also know, he almost lost his life by swallowing a crab shell so he had to get him in surgery for a tear in his throat” I said, saying everything I know.
And my words succeeded in making Anandita surprised and silent.
“I know you are Aditya's childhood friend, and you were so knowledgeable about Aditya's favorite food when you guys were kids,I understand so well you know very well what Aditya likes and what he does not like, but you forget one thing” I said by hanging my words.
“You forgot that you're all grown up now, and your childhood is long over. Now you don't really know how Aditya is. What he likes and what he does not like, I continued I still make him quiet.
“I'm not as smart as you Dita, I'm not as smart as you in running a business. But I know exactly how to be a good wife for Aditya, because it is not a treasure that I seek, but happiness” then I leave Anandita with still stuck in her place.
My words like her managed to make Anandita hit, she still remained silent there as if digesting all my words. I was so satisfied to have poured all my heart out to Anandita, I was sure that all my words would be a slap for her to no longer tempt Aditya.
