To The Man Who Broke My Heart
48. Don't Be Disturbed

In accordance with the agreement I submitted at a later date, Aunt Anne will not upload my photo until Lulu's wedding day due to surprise. If Lulu gets to see it first, I could be blacklisted directly from the guest list.

Jum’at night me and Wide flew from Jakarta to Padang after being escorted by Alex who again landed his kiss on my forehead. The thing that made the Wide mesem-mesem and teased me throughout the flight. At Minangkabau airport, Bang Rian was on standby to take us directly to Batusangka. We reached Lulu's house almost past midnight.

The next day, we had to get up at four in the morning to get ready. The bridesmaids are dressed in separate rooms with the bride. The other friends gasped to see me in my dress. “Kay, you are really looking for dead.” Mimi said while

smilingly. I know he's not serious about his shit. At least about my death today. Others can only laugh. We took a photo together before we left the room.

And then the party begins.

At first Lulu had glared when passing us in front of the stage where the wedding ceremony was held. However, like Mimi, she kept smiling at me. Maybe the happiness that was stirring at that time managed to dispel his frustration. There was someone else who was glaring at me since we came out of the house; bang Rian. He didn't stop pointing his camera at me.

Bang Rian: deck, brother so moved huh? Look at you wearing that dress it feels like you're the one getting married now

Fill in the message Bang Rian had just sent. I just shook my head thoughtlessly with my brother. Lebay is a good middle name.

Bang Rian: My brother sent his picture to my mom as well

Bang Rian: they say you will go home and not change clothes

Bang Rian's bottom line is always fussy!

Bang Rian: but how did Alex say he had seen you wear that shirt first anyway, deck?

Bang Rian: he sent you another picture of your brother

Bang Rian: he said you are now also a famous designer model

Dasae the same Alex!

The reception party is over before Magrib. We gathered in the living room of Lulu's house and gave gifts from the four of us. Lulu looked even happier on her happy day. We hugged back full. Eventually, one of us was already a woman entirely.

****

Bang Rian and I then say goodbye to returning home shortly after the event, while Wide and the others will stay until tomorrow. I've already explained the situation to them; next week I'll take the semester exam on campus. Inevitably they had to allow us to leave.

****

When I got home, Papa and Mama didn't sleep. He was chatting in the living room with someone whose face was very familiar to me. I am indeed very tired because of the hectic today, can only look at him with nanar, do not believe. The journey from yesterday made my brain a little slow. What the hell is he doing here? What is Alex doing here?

****

And, an end is only a turning point, for we can start again as He wills. Thus, like the end, a beginning is only an introduction to the end as He wills. All understand; the beginning and the end are only for those who seek meaning.

****

“Lex?” I voiced my thoughts, a wrinkle on the forehead beating the waves in the ocean. "Kok you're here? Why are you here?”

Alex again and again showed off his smile. Mom and Dad smiled as well. Why are they smiling too?

Bang Rian in Kalakian approaching Alex. “When to, Bro? How come you didn't say it was today?” They then raised five ria. “Then you know so all invited to the wedding of his friend Kayra. Count the streets again, right?” Bang Rian was so excited to see his best friend here.

Oh, maybe it is. Maybe they had a plan in advance and Alex wanted to surprise his brother. That's why Bang Rian mentions something "that happened today", right?

“Soal next few weeks I want to travel around Indonesia with several other countries, Yan. Ordinary, business. So I'm perfect now, afraid of the plan to retreat a long time ago even so stale.” Alex blinked his eyes at my brother's number two.

I can't help myself from turning my eyes. It was enough that I watched their bromance, my half-dead tired soul was thrashing to be rested immediately. “Please be affectionate with both of you yes, I want to sleep first. So tired. Bye, lovebirds!” I sneered at the two of them as I walked over to give Papa and Mama a kiss. Then I glided into the room without looking. Before I went into the room, I heard Bang Rian's voice talking about the dress I was wearing at Lulu's party.

I move on the bed, all my bones feel stiff. I think squirming will be very delicious then I do it solemnly. Sounds like rattling out, like my bones were clashing. Good Lord!I got up from the bed slowly, sat for a long time, then headed for the bathroom slowly. Everything I do is like being given a slow motion effect, even though no one is producing this scene other than myself.

The fatigue does that.

I originally planned to return to Jakarta this afternoon, but Mama did not allow it after seeing my body condition is still very tired. Alex suggested we should take the morning flight tomorrow. I had no other choice, forced to agree with the advice of the man who seemed to have been supported by the whole family. Anyway, my exam will be done at one o'clock. So, there's nothing I need to worry about in the morning other than getting into the office.

And I just realized that the whole family is home this early. Yeah, I mean that half-twelfth hour can still be categorized as “ this morning.

I hugged Uni Cya and then turned to Bang Bjan, they must have come from earlier. “What sleep makes the thesis anyway, Dek? Long time ago.” Bang Bian ruffled my newly combed hair. I brushed off his hand while in the style of a martial arts whiz.

"What did you eat last night with Uni? How can you laugh," I replied.

Bang Bian laughed and no longer tried to bother me. He must have understood an unwritten rule in our family; if I had woken up by noon and kept quiet too much or given a stern answer, it would have been best not to bother me or I would have gone berserk.

I went to the dinner table, Tek Nur just finished cooking for lunch. My stomach immediately muttered as she was empty from the morning.

After eating, I headed to the living room to watch. Bang Bian, bang Rian, and Alex were watching an action movie. I sat next to Bang Rian after previously taking one jar of potato sticks from the table. Brother Number Two immediately nudged my arm gently with his elbow. “Eh, Papa will have dinner outside.”

I turned my head and gave a quick nod in response.

Bang Rian did not speak anymore. He must have understood.

Before long, Genta's voice whined from inside the room, then he went outside with Uni Cya. It seems like he just woke up to take a nap. I reached out and Genta leaned his body towards me. Now he rests his head and sits on my lap. I wiggled my legs slowly, trying to give her comfort. Genta still seems sleepy. He fell asleep again after a while. I turned down the volume of the television and let it sleep there.
