Ep. 9 - Fine, we're married.

Edelweis stared at her reflection with the wedding dress that was now attached to her body. He turned his body slowly, looking at himself from several sides. Nothing is lacking, everything looks perfect if he is wearing.

“Where, Del? You like?”

Edelweis nodded, “Lumayan, better than the previous one.” replied Edelweis indifferently, he put his shoulder to the ground.

“Thank God. But, you have another request, maybe?”

“This front, I want not to be too low, please a little up. But, not too top as well.” said Edelweis, he pointed to what he meant. “And, this part of his arm is still too big, I want it like body fit so.”

“Okay, your request will be aunty lakain. We see, yes it suits you or not, but aunty certainly will fit. Body as you, fit any model.”

Edelweis smiled widely, too often he heard such praise. “Thank you, aunty.”

“Oh, yes. Is this Jonathan not coming? Where is he?”

Edelweiss could not have answered the truth. His self-esteem has been lowered because of Jonathan's previous attitude, if this fact he said it will be further destroyed his self-esteem.

An Edelweist lost to a village woman, cih, disgusting.

“He has an impromptu meeting and can not be resigned or in the same handle with others. Hence, he who should directly intervene.”

“Oh, so... Are you okay, but?”

Edelweis flicked his shoulders, he nodded. “Yes. What's the problem for me? There is no.”

“Good. So, you want to determine what kind of suit for Jo?”

Edelweis nodded, "Yes, tan. Later I will choose what kind of suit model is suitable for Jo. Because I know him best.”

“Of course baby. Yaudah, yuk!”

“Yuk!”

After he was done with his affairs, Edelweis intended to leave.

“Tan, I go home first, yes?”

“You went home alone? No one wants to take it or pick it up? Let your aunt take you, how?”

Edelweis shook his head, “No need, tan. Me alone, gakpapa kok.”

“Really?”

Edelweis nodded confidently. “Yaudah, I go home first.”

“Okay, be careful, yes. I'll let you know when you get to.”

“Oke.”

Edelweis got into a taxi, he immediately mentioned his address. While enjoying the actual trip home quite time-consuming, he opened the phone for a moment, occasionally seeing the streets are not too crowded tonight. Until his eyes found a familiar figure who had just come out of the car.

“Pak, we turn to restaurant ahead.”

***

“Please..”.

Retha smiled wryly, she stared happily at Jonathan who had just allowed her to sit down. He sat on the chair Jonathan had pulled first, the man treated him very special from the time he was picked up until they were in this restaurant.

“Still, mas.”

“By pleasure.”

Jonathan pulled up his chair, sitting opposite Retha in front of him. A smile he could not help but show, staring lovingly at the woman before him.

Retha smiled happily, she gazed around, completely amazed by this prepared decoration. Jonathan reserved a private room for them, this was to keep their relationship out of the media. Moreover Jonathan is the owner of a television media that is quite famous, plus Retha is an actress who is now on the rise. There must be a lot of paparazzi following. So, this private room is suitable for them.

“You're all doing this?”

“Iya. How do you like it?”

Retha nodded, “Suka. I did not expect, Jo mas will be ready. I think we're having a regular dinner.”

“Which is probably my usual setup for a special person like you. Moreover, this meeting we want to discuss something very special about us in the future.”

“Mas Jo said that, as if he already knew the answer. No, Mas Jo is not afraid that my answer will disappoint mas Jo?”

Jonathan shook his head, he was sure that Retha's answer would be what he hoped. “I trust you.”

“But, mas. Before I answer your question. I want to make sure one more thing is with you.”

Jonathan frowned confusedly, “About?”

“You and Mbak Edel. You guys really don't have any relationship? I just don't want to, if I have to be a destroyer of people's relationships.”

Jonathan pulled the thin corner of his lips, he pulled Retha's hand and grasped it. “Trust me, if I don't have any relationship with him. In fact, I have not stayed together, I prefer to leave home.”

“But, about Edel's words? What he said was that he was your future wife, is that how mas?”

“Just like I said to you yesterday, he's bullshit. I'm with him, I have absolutely no relationship, Tha. Trust me!”

Jonathan could see there was still doubt in Retha's eyes.

Retha smiled faintly, she nodded. Not yet he had time to talk again, a waiters came to bring their orders one by one.

“Yaudah, we'll eat first. We chat next, also your answer to my question yesterday.”

“Iya, mas.”

They also enjoy this dinner, accompanied by dim lights with decorations throughout the room also spoiled by the view of the lights outside the restaurant building, plus some food that spoils their stomach.

“So, how was Tha the same question I had yesterday? Your answer what?”

Retha smiles shyly, “I... I—”

Retha had no time to give an answer, the door opened featuring Emmeline there with her angry face. Suddenly, Emmeline's arrival surprised Jonathan and Retha.

“Mama?”

Retha let go of Jonathan's hand that grasped her, he stood up immediately staring at Emmeline who looked annoyed and angry.

“Ma, how can mama be here?” jonathan was confused.

Emmeline pulled the corner of her lips, she smiled sinisterly. “You should not be in the boutique, do not join your wedding dress fittings. You are here with another woman? Do you know Edel?”

“Ma, I—”

“Dan, you!” Retha looked up for a moment, staring anxiously at Emmeline. “You know who you are with now? She was another female husband. You should be aware not to get close especially to establish a relationship with a prospective husband. You still have your pride, don't you?”

Reth was surprised to hear that. While Jonathan is upset to hear his mother humiliate Retha.

“Ma, by the way what the hell? Mama—”

“Udah, yes! Mama doesn't want to get angry here, now you go home, come with mama and apologize to Edel! And, you—” Retha can only silently look down. “Jaga attitude, keep your self-esteem. Do not mind my son likes you, you so do not have self-esteem gini by seizing prospective husbands people.”

After saying that, Emmeline immediately left Jonathan and Retha who had been holding back her tears now.

“Tha, I—”

Retha snatched her bag on the chair, leaving Jonathan with all the disappointment she felt now. He left without listening to Jonathan's words, even an apology.

***

“Where, lo?” Jonathan stared flatly straight ahead, his phone he had stuck to one ear when the call had just been connected there. “Exit now. I'm outside.”

Without waiting for any answer, Jonathan immediately turned off the call. He threw the origin of his phone, no matter if it was broken though. He was silent while waiting for the arrival of that person. Shortly after, the person she was waiting for came. Auto car glass is opened.

Without looking, Jonathan spoke. “Log.”

“But, Jo. Lo why—”

“Sign in, Del..”

Edelweis, exactly. That guy he is.

Edelweis got into Jonathan's car, just the door of the car was closed immediately driven forward without a cue. Edelweis who was shocked was immediately put on his seat belt.

“Jo, lo what the hell? Woy, don't speed!”

“Jo, you want to make us die?”

“Jo, don't be silly! I don't want to die in vain!”

“Jonathan!”

Jonathan became deaf, he heard nothing Edelweis said. He continued to drive his car at an above average speed, not caring for Edelweis beside him who was now frightened made. He did so to slightly temper his anger at the woman beside him. Until, he felt that it was enough for now. He stopped the car.

Edelweis flinched as Jonathan stopped his car, holding tightly to his seatbelt he had not yet let go.

“Lo crazy, yes?” Edelweis adjusted his irregular breathing, the pounding in his heart still remaining.

“Lo deliberately want to make me die? Yes?” angry Edelweis, he leaned his body firmly on the back of the chair. “Lo crazy, Jo... Crazy!”

“More crazy people who intentionally benefit everything for something dirty. People who deliberately try to destroy others.” Jonathan turned to Edelweis who was frowning confusedly. “More evil who? Lo or I?”

Edelweis shook his head slowly, he turned his body to face Jonathan. “Lo what the hell is it? I don't understand.”

Jonathan was furious with the plain pretentious attitude of Edelweis, he hit hard the steering wheel of the car which made quite a sound that made Edelweis jerked in shock for a moment. Staring at his sharp Edelweis, there was anger as well as hatred that was implied clearly from the look in his eyes.

“You want what the hell?”

“What do you mean?”

“What do I mean!? My point is why you say the same nyokap if I do not come to make fittings clothes and tell me where my position at that time. What do you mean!?” Jonathan shouted angrily at Edelweis.

Edelweis shook his head, not feeling what Jonathan was accusing him of. “Gue didn't say anything, Jo. Gue—”

“Fucking you! Stop lying! Stop the bullshit! Now tell me, what exactly do you want from me?” jonathan asked angrily, he drew closer to Edelweis who increasingly cornered himself on the door as well as the chair. “Lo want the marriage between us to happen? Yes?”

Edelweis shook his head, Jonathan in front of him looked creepy.

“Fine, we are married!”

For some reason, Jonathan's speech was like interpreting something bad in Edelweis' ear. It's as if Jonathan said he'd get something bad out of this marriage.
