Stuck With You
Engagement
Vanessa P.O.V
I was ready with the black anarkali dress I bought yesterday while traveling around Jakarta with Dipta, Cinta, Arsen, Hiza, and Faiz. Anarkali dress, one type of Indian dress that yesterday quite caught my attention. I bought two golden and black anarkali. Love and Hiza also bought because they were interested when they saw me wearing it. Love who is a lover of pink, buy anarkali dress in pink, while Hiza buys anarkali dress in red.
This Anarkali Dress is indeed quite a lot that I have to wear huh. Like the top that is like a sporty bra, the difference is made from a shirt and simple enough to wear, pants on the inside that I think are like fur pants but I don't wear right now because it would be good during a formal event because I replaced them with shorts, the skirt that looks quite simple and when I wear it does feel add weight to my shirt but this is quite light. And the last thing I wear is an outer made of a transparent cloth that I buttoned my chest. Do not forget the black dupatta fabric that will add to the perfection of this shirt. I deliberately chose this shirt which embroidered very little so did the beads. So I think it's suitable for everyday use. At first glance this looks like the clothes in the Bajirao Mastani film, a film I often watch with Dipta.
Time is going fast. Today I was in my office. This is my engagement day with the Creator. But I did decide to visit the graves of my parents first. Because of that, I've been wearing black. After I felt ready, I came out of the room and saw that Dipta was ready with his black shirt.
"You're perfect!" it was his words that made me smile.
"The others are still in the hotel right?" ask me. "Yes dear. Again at breakfast. Yuk!" invite Dipta.
***
"Assalamualaikum, papa! Mama!" I said as I approached the graves of my parents. "Assalamualaikum papa and mama-in-law!" said the Creator who made me smile. I immediately began to clean the graves of my parents and began to pour water on their graves. After it ran out, I sprinkled the flowers over their pusraa and placed two flower arrangements that I made from three stalks of night-smelling flowers, two stalks of red rose, three stalks of yellow rose, and I put them together, and one stalk of white rose. I put a circuit in each navel.
I started to put my hands together and started praying.
"Mama, papa! Vanes came with your future daughter-in-law. The same guy Vanes took when he graduated high school. Vanes hope you can bless our relationship. Vanes miss you guys, sometime come to dream Vanes, ma, pah!" my inner.
When I opened my eyes, I felt the wind blow and it made me smile I felt like both of my parents were blessing our relationship.
"Father, mother-in-law. Today, we're getting engaged. It will feel special if the one who accompanied Vanes was you. But Dipta knows that you will definitely come later even though we cannot see you guys still you will be happy to see a smile on Vanes. This is the promise of the Creator to you" said the Creator who made me smile.

When the car we were riding in reached my office area, I could see many reporters who were preparing to cover my engagement. When Dipta opened the car door, the reporters immediately stormed our car. I opened my door and helped me out.
"Miss Vanessa, you'll be engaged soon. How do you feel?" ask one of the reporters. I smiled and stood facing them. "Of course I'd be nervous huh what else is this new fiancee. I can't even imagine that if I got married this would be the happiest moment of my life." I smiled.
"Where are you from? Did you go for a while to calm down?" ask the other reporters. "I went to visit the graves of my parents. With Dipta too." I said smiling. "Sorry, mas and mbak you guys if you don't mind yes, I think the interview was enough because Vanes had to go inside to prepare. I also had to go back to the hotel to prepare. Here, there is an invitation for the representative of every journalist yes. I think I will give this invitation to three journalists of tv stations with a maximum of two legislators only. Can you understand?" ask Dipta. "Thank you very much, euummm Mr. Dipta" said one of the reporters.
Dipta gave it to the three reporters who asked and responded to us. After that, Dipta drove me to the front of the office building. He kissed my forehead and left. I went straight to the elevator and went up to the floor where my room was.

"This color is very appropriate for the lady!" said my fairy when I put on my lipstick the same dark pink as my lips. I smiled and chose silence so as not to interfere with his work.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"Get in!!" my spoken. The door opened and there seemed to be Love and Hiza. There's Om Ahmad and Aunt Maya too. "Damn! You look so perfect, Nes!!" love Words. "Thank you's. Oh yes, Ta. We'll go downstairs together, won't we?" ask me. "Yes that. Anyway you have to be ready if later I call Hiza" said Love who I answered nod.
***
I heard a knock just as I was drinking water in my room. Aunt Maya opens the door and looks Love and Hiza are smiling. "Let's get off!" take the one I answered nod. Om Ahmad helped me stand up and Aunt Maya put my hair straight. "Nih Tissu so you can wipe with the dry!" said Aunt Maya whom I answered nodding.
We started walking slowly out of my room towards the elevator. Love and Hiza helped me by lifting the tail of my dress while in the elevator. "Nes, just use it! He said this can make the couple more sticky" said Hiza gave a small borol pink. "What's this?" ask me confused. "Misk Thaharah's. Try it on the neck, the middle of the chest, the same two hands. At most the Dipta will like the same smell." said Love. "Okay." I replied as I began to polish.
The elevator opens and shows a board reading 'Created & Vanessa Engagement' and an arrow pointing towards the hall. I saw a lot of reporters who were watching us. Love and Hiza lowered the tail of my dress. We started walking slowly into the hall.
When I got to the front of the hall, I saw the Dipta family sitting on the right side of the hall. I also slowly walked on the cream carpet in this room. Along with the song Turning Page in the film twilight, I stepped slowly and sat on the chair that was provided to the left of the hall. To my right and left are Om Ahmad and Aunt Maya.
"Good morning! Me, Jihan and my partner, Kendra today will be hosting the engagement of Vanessa Zahirah Bramantyo with Hira Dipta Bharan. Thank you for the presence of our guests. We can see that our two main characters today have been very shining to live this event. I think we can start now!" Ma'am Jihane.

"Vanessa, can you go up to the altar? The Creator might also be able to help Vanessa climb to the altar!" mama Jihane. The Creator stood up and approached me. He took my hand and we walked to the altar.
Aunt Maya went up to the altar next to me and immediately gave one hand to Dipta, the watch of my late father's legacy. After that, Mama Diana climbed up to the altar and placed a ring on the middle finger of my left hand. The ring with the diamond in the middle and surrounded by a small diamond stone made me fall in love at first sight to this ring.
Mama Diana hugged me and we both smiled. "This ring mama put in the middle because you are a career woman. Mama hope with you and Dipta step into a more serious level, you can complement each other" said Mama Diana who I answered nodding with a smile.
"Well, I think it's time Vanessa and Dipta started exchanging rings to formalize their relationship!" Ma'am Jihane.
He put a ring on the ring finger of my left hand with a diamond ring in the middle. I also put on a white gold ring with a 'DiptaVanessa' sculpture inside'.
And finally we officially became a couple of legitimate husband and wife candidates. I officially became the fiancee of Dipta as well as Dipta who officially became my fiancee.
