THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Invitation

Despite the semester exam, Via can still prepare a list of friends who will be invited. All neatly tucked in Excel format.

Two days later, Azka visits while delivering an invitation to Via's friends.

"Hurry up, Mom. How are you ready to share, right?" mira's comments as soon as she saw the stack of invitations Azka had brought.

"hey are. My sister-in-law is simple. Invitation design, whatever. Decoration underwriting, whatever. Wedding dress, whatever. Fortunately, the answer is not up to when asked who the groom is," Azka replied while grinning.

Via glared at Azka's reply. He threw the pen that was being held towards his sister-in-law. While Ratna was outspoken.

"Eh, so really Ma'am Via wants to get married? Kirain was kidding," said Salsa.

Ratna turned to Salsa. The girl continued her work of putting a price tag.

"It won't, Sa. Via is married. There's a reception tomorrow."

Salsa stopped its activities. He's closing in on Ratna.

"really? When's? How does Salsa know?"

"Over the story, Sa. Yes, ntar aja. We're ready to handle Via's duties. After the exam he immediately withdrew, the reception preparation," Ratna said.

"That's the honeymoon. Aye, right?" mira's voice chimed. The girl was climbing the stairs to the 1st floor.

"Hooh, Ma'am. Just relax, Vi. Leave the shop to us. You just enjoy your honeymoon that's been delayed for so long. Uh, not just a delayed honeymoon, huh?" ledek Ratna's. The girl smiled as she lowered her eyebrows.

"What else is pending?" ask Salsa plain.

"Of course the first night. Via hasn't tasted it yet. Bener, right?" ledek Ratna again.

"Ngaco, uh! You want to help me, don't you? If yes, don't bring it!" hardik Via's.

The face of the bride-to-be blushed. While Ratna who was just yelled at just laughed giggling. The others laughed too.

"Eh, already! If he's talking to my brother, I'm the one who's bothered. I won't get the pocket money. Have pity on this unemployment," Azka said with a compassionate face.

Ratna looked at Azka. He was amused to see Azka's face made clear.

"This is a guy, how much longer is getting worse, anyway? I thought he had a crush on Via. Ah, can't I have a crush on Mas Azka? Oops, how come to digress like this," inner Ratna.

"Rat, tomorrow please help spread this invitation, yes," pinta Via.

Ratna was silent. He has not returned from his imaginary adventure.

"Rabra!" call Via in a loud voice.

"Eh, yes! I'm right here. Who's the nyari?" Ratna.

Everyone looked at Ratna amusedly. Which increases confusion.

"What do you think, anyway? Don't read most novels! Don't-don't you're imagining being shot by Mario, the character of the novel Love Strata 1," Mira guessed with a smile.

"Ish, what the fuck Mira. I choose the pure Valko" replied Ratna.

"Oh, the novel M. T. A cahyani? Don't fantasize too high. Tuh, asked Dek Via," said Mira.

"What do you ask, Vi?" Ratna had to ask that. He really did not listen when he asked.

"Hhmmm, caught you daydreaming. Rat, I'm asking you to help spread the invitation. Can, right?"

Ratna smiled with relief. Via didn't taunt himself.

"Ready, Say! I'll send in troops quickly. Guaranteed until the address is safely restrained," Ratna replied while saluting.

"Your god, Fulgoso!" cibir Via's.

Azka was happy to see their carefree jokes. In the past, when Via had not graduated High School, Ratna often visited. The atmosphere of his house became crowded. Although only briefly, the atmosphere was missed by Azka.

"Mas Azka, how can you smile on your own?" ask Mira wonder.

"Eh, no papa. I love seeing those two guys fighting."

Via and Ratna stared intently at Azka. That guy's a little groggy. He scratched his head that was not itchy.

"I mean, you guys like to joke, the atmosphere is so exciting. Yes, I'm going home first. I also have to take an invitation somewhere else. Assalamualaikum," said Azka.

"Thank you, Mas Azka," said Via.

Azka simply nodded as she continued to step out. Shortly after, there was a motor distater. Azka was no longer seen with the pace of his motorbike.

While Ratna immediately brought a pile of Via wedding invitations to the 2nd floor. He sorted out the invitations based on background and address. His college friend made him 1, while his schoolmate removed him from the address.

Seeing Ratna working straight away, Via smiled. He also felt overwhelmed.

"Thank you, yeah. Don't be too tired. Tomorrow there are 2 courses tested, lo," said Via sincerely.

"Relax, just an invitation. It's almost done, too. I've already called some of our schoolmates to help hand out an invitation."

"Really, yeah! You can't force your energy!"

"Yes, Marimar! Are you so bawel? Don't be fooled, you!" Ratna throbbed as soon as she saw Via's expression.

Wanna not laugh. Ratna is hard to take seriously.

However, Ratna is a figure who likes to help and take responsibility. Hence, he immediately contacted his friends to help spread the invitation. The next day, almost all the invitations were scattered. Via's college friends were quite surprised to know the news of Via's wedding.

Via was a bit of a hassle answering questions from his friends. She only replied that the man who became her husband was her foster brother.

Fortunately, Ratna helped Via answer questions posed by friends. It did not interfere with the test.

Finally, the last day of the exam. Via and Ratna get home at 10:00. Until the shop, Via immediately packed. Farhan will pick her up after Friday prayers.

"Well, the bride-to-be is busy. What time's it going home, Dek?" ask Mira.

Via stopped putting clothes in the suitcase. He looked at Mira.

"Former Mas Farhan will pick up. Mira and the others are coming home later, right?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Tomorrow morning to the house, yes! Friends Via, Ma'am," pinta Via.

Mira smiled and nodded. He could not refuse a simple request from a person he already considered a brother.

"God willing tomorrow I, Ratna, and Salsa come early in the morning. Your family leaves for the hotel at what time?"

"Via hasn't asked. Later, Via will definitely. You can 8 o'clock, right?"

"God can."

Via held Mira's hands tightly. He looked at the girl who had been heartbroken because of Farhan.

"Mother Mira isn't mad at me, is she?" ask Via lirih.

Mira was a little surprised.

"Why angry? How is Dek Via?"

Via lowered his head. There was a feeling of guilt infiltrating his refined feelings.

"I have dashed Mbak Mira's expectations of Mas Farhan" replied Via.

Mira laughs. He pulled out Via's hand until they were both sitting in bed.

"Dek, you were married to Mas Farhan earlier than I knew him. Of course it's not your fault. The matter of you not recounting your relationship with Mas Farhan is not your fault either. It's because of sikon. Never mind, I'm really not angry. Don't be burdened with guilt towards me" Mira said, rubbing Via's head.

Via pulled Mira's hand quickly. Their bodies were huddled because Via hugged Mira tightly. Mira hugged Via.

Two hours later, Farhan reached the shophouse. Via got off while dragging his suitcase.

"Friends, I'll go home first. Don't forget, tomorrow morning you're coming, yeah! Assalamualaikum," said Via.

"Ready. Waalaikumsalam," replied Ratna who was standing by the door.
