Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
S2 Chapter 28 – Preparation
That night, Vincent and Viani plan their marriage. One week, the time they choose for their lightning wedding. For sure, the civil record must be delayed.
Viani just hung up on him with a priest.
"Altar, souvenirs already ..” Viani makes a list in a notebook that she always carries in her briefcase. “Leave the ring, it's easy. MUA and Hair Stylist, many. But attire? I want simple. We have no time.”
“Casual aja Darling ..” In this case, of course the manufacture of wedding clothes will certainly be very time consuming. “Dress simple and vest, do not wear a dress or tuxedo. We can buy them at the mall to save time. Whatever you wear, you stay beautiful.”
Viani throws Vincent with a sofa cushion. “Gombal!”
Vincent caught the pillow, “Emang really!” The man had not finished talking to one of his friends who had married at a venue in the Tanjung Duren area for reservation as well as catering. “Iya. Hmm that .. Okay. Request contact person number dong.”
The two brides-to-be have even agreed on the use of budget. Viani will take care of everything prepared outside the building, while Vincent takes care of the venue, the ring and the food.
“Venue said there are packages include all, catering, decor, entertainment, parking, all already one. We take it right."
“Hm ... according to your budget?”
“Still appropriate, Dear. Look at the list tomorrow, where are we going?”
“Tomorrow early in the morning see meet vendors at the venue, then to the mall. Buy rings and attire. By the way, are you sure the venue is the same?”
“Yakin! We can be indoor or outdoor there, just choose. Capacity 100 people.”
“We'll see aja later yes.” Viani stuffed her notebook in her briefcase, untied her hair and leaned against the sofa.
Vincent put down his phone then sat down next to Viani. His hands were coiled around Viani's shoulders, carrying the girl in his arms.
“Vi ... This Saturday we are married. But I have to be honest with you. Now I'm an unemployed doctor. I can't go back to Papa's clinic ..”
Vincent's heavy breathing swept over Viani's face. “I don't know what future awaits us there. If you're pregnant, I don't know if I can meet your needs or not."
Viani sums up Vincent's face, noticing the fine hairs growing around his fiance's chin and jaw. He saw a tired face because of the burden of that thought. His smile was bitter, his facial muscles stiff and lackluster.
“We go together, Vin. We can start everything from the beginning. I'm scared too, but it's even scarier if we're not together.”
“I only have you, Vi ..” Vincent lowered his head and kissed Viani deeply. All his anxiety, worry and helplessness, he opened up and he poured out only on one Viani.
Only the girl had ever seen him in such a low point. Helpless and wasted.
The kiss that made Viani out of breath was ended by Vincent's gentle caress on his face.
Viani again frowned. “Nby the way. We forget the guardian and witness cases ... I think ..”
“Om Febri!”
“Om Febri!”
When one name was triggered, the smiles of Viani and Vincent returned to them so naturally. Their parents' friends most likely do not know that there is now a tempest that is so strange.
They had to mentally prepare them once more to tell everything. They don't know what's going to happen at Febri's house, they're just going to try to do it.
“Rest, Dear ..” whispered Vincent.
“Our distress today, let it be enough for today.”
...***...
Vincent frowned as he smelled a fragrant smell coming from the kitchen. The man opened his eyes and found himself asleep on the bed that was in the next room unused.
And that's the story of why Vincent can sleep apart from Viani.
The man got off his bed. The first time he saw in the kitchen, was Viani's back who was busy blotting rice that he had mixed with garlic, onions, chives, peas and some spices. In other places, at the dining table there is Chicken Katsu which has been fried and is still warm.
Slowly, Vincent came up to him and hugged him from behind.
“Gosh!” Viani almost toppled if not embraced Vincent. “Ngagetin tau!”
“Morning, Fiance!” he said while peeping at the head of Viani.
“Again, Vin. Pull back a little, I want to cook,” pinta Viani while carrying the spatula back to roast in the pan.
Vincent stepped back and sat down at the dining table, with a glass of tea that Viani had prepared. Be breakfast is finished, they enjoy it along with warm.
After all they have got, starting from the deal with the venue, the search for a wedding attire by traveling around the mall and buying a pair of rings from a catalog available at a famous jewelry store, they return to the apartment to put down their entire groceries and get ready for Febri's house.
And here they are, right in front of Febri's house. They had called Diana, and made sure tonight they were in place.
“Loh, Viani, Vincent?” Diana thought only Viani would come.
How shocked Diana was when she opened the door, the children of her two best friends were already standing in front of her door, hand in hand.
Their curious souls were already thrashing when they saw that extremely shocking closeness. His best friend said nothing about this.
“Ink, come! Aunty is cooking for you. Love Medan cuisine, right?”
They also had a relaxing dinner. There was no seeming awkwardness as they were basically quite familiar with the chatty Diana.
But everything changed as they were herded into the living room, where Diana had served warm tea there. They were forced to tell everything from beginning to end to Diana and Febri.
The faces of the two TNI soldiers were immediately pias.
“So, Om...” Vincent fixed his sitting position and looked at the already somewhat bald Febri with a slightly bulging stomach.
The hand of Viani held in front of the two people, as if to tell them they were really serious. “The arrival of Viani and Vincent here, want to ask Om and Aunt to be our witnesses and guardians when we get married later.”
Viani added, Our “Papa and Mama, especially Om Niko have refused. I haven't spoken to Papa and Mama myself, but they ... seem to have taken my hands off me.” The girl was down with a sad face.
Febri and Diana looked at each other, their mouths were still locked and they had yet to react. The four adults were silent and busy in their respective thoughts.
“That too, if Om Febri and Aunt Diana are pleased .. we do not pa-pa if if Om Febri refuses.”
Febri crossed paths and looked at Viani in disbelief. “You're like talking to someone else! But before Om does, there's something Om has to do first."
“What is Om?” ask Viani.
“Om want to meet Niko and Gala.”
Diana looked at her husband. “What's a good idea, Honey?”
“We leave aside first who will be their witness and guardian. Someone has to mediate, Di ... If not us, who else?
After all, I can't step in my two best friends. They need to know that their son is getting married. If they're still hardened, then we're the ones who'll put up the body for Vincent and Viani."
