The day that I was waiting for finally arrived, I felt that time was so slow. I want time to go early in the afternoon so that I can soon meet the woman of my heart.
''She's Vel pacing around that's not clear?'' Ask brother Josep.
''It's okay, brother' said I.
''Most he was impatient to meet Dea'' said brother Imel from his room.
Today we all gathered at the mother's house, the extended family of father and mother had also been here since this morning.
They helped prepare all the needs for the application event later in the afternoon. In the city where I live, the application event is very important before the wedding, because if we have proposed a woman then the woman has been legally a wife, but no conjugal relationship can occur until the two tie the sacred promise of marriage.
...****************...
Last night I had a dream that a little girl came to me sitting in the garden. The little girl was very similar to me as well as Dea, her eyes and cheeks were like Dea, while her nose and lips were like mine.
The little girl hugged me and said, 'I can only meet you in your dreams, we will never meet you in the real world' she hugged me. Shortly afterwards, Dea also came and sat in the middle of the two of us holding a tiny baby in her lap.
I grabbed the baby and looked him in the eyes, the look of Dea's shady eyes while laughing made me feel at ease. When we were laughing cheerfully, suddenly a woman came and messed things up. The woman claimed to be my wife, but strangely I did not know her until she married him.
I left Dea with the two little children and I went with the woman. I don't know why, I can see the little girl crying and calling me by my father's call. I wanted to run to hug him but I didn't have the strength to walk towards him. The distance between us grew further and I finally did not see them again, but the sound of Dea and the girl's cries I could still hear.
I tried to find them but I could not find it was just the sound of Dea crying and the girl heard. I kept calling out to both of them until it felt like I was out of breath and everything went dark.
''Vel, wake up Vel'' said Brother Imel when it woke me up.
''What's up, brother?'' ask me who is half conscious.
''You why do you scream at Dea'' said brother Imel who made me realize from the nightmare.
''It's okay, sis'' said I got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face.
...****************...
''Cieee.. who has been impatient to meet yayang'' Goda Bram.
I smiled because what he said was true.
The atmosphere at the mother's house this time was so crowded, many relatives who came also neighbors of the mother's house.
''Congratulations, son of Marvel, finally you want to also propose to Selvy'' said bi Darsih, a relative of the father and also has a relationship with the Selvy family.
''Not Selvy bi'' I said.
''Then who? Is Devina the son of Desi?'' Ask again.
''Not ma'am, his name is Dea'' said I who only responded to bi Darsih with O-only.
I also invited Nico to attend the application event later, I knew if my friend had a taste of Sukma Dea's friend.
Time was so slow, I couldn't wait to meet Dea.
(POV AUTHORITY)
''Ah, neng Dea, I want a proposal. Which candidate is neng?''
''Mom, this is all grandmother's request when sick, she doesn't want me alone if something bad happens to her or aunt. Actually Dea has not thought of anything like this at all Dea said.
When his grandmother was still in the hospital and in poor condition, he asked Dea to accept Marvel's proposal.
''Oh that neng, I was surprised when I heard that Neng Dea would be proposed. Who is the candidate?''
''Later Mira also knew'' Dea said then chuckled.
''Wah neng Dea, I still like to play puzzles'' said Ms. Weni.
They all continue to tease Dea who helps them cook, Dea is known to be very high social soul. Neighbors around her house love her very much,
although there are some who are envious of the success of Dea when following the race, especially that his son was defeated by Dea in the race.
''Dea your friends have come'' said bi Tina calling Dea.
''Yes bi, I stay yes ma''' said Dea passed leaving the mothers in the kitchen.
''Well, this is our bride-to-be' said Gema who was greeted with laughter by the four.
''What the hell are you guys let's go in'' Dea said.
He took his three friends to sit in the living room with grandma and bi Tina who were arranging wet cakes and mineral water on a tray.
Dea was happy to see some families coming to visit, but still felt empty in Dea's heart when he did not find his father or mother in the house.
He tried to smile in front of everyone, but when he came into his room all the pain he spilled on his bed.
He cried while hugging his knees, Hate it is father and mother to Dea, why father and mother do not come. Do you really not want the presence of Dea?'' dea said on the sidelines of her crying.
He looked at the picture of his parents he had on the wall of his room, his heart so sick that no one came. He continued to cry until a knock on the door made him immediately wipe his tears and try to control himself. He does not want people to know the sadness he feels, yes like that Dea, he will save his own pain.
''You're in the De?'' a voice that he misses so much.
Dea quickly opened the room door and hugged the owner of the voice.
''Dad'' he said with a happy cry because his father came.
''Yes son, it's dad. Sorry dad just came, son''. Dea's father hugged his daughter while shedding tears. Tears of happiness are as sad as today he will give his daughter to another man to look after even though not completely.
Dea's own mother was not present, because she never cared about anything that happened to her daughter.
''I'm so glad you can come'' said Dea still hugging the father.
The mothers who saw the scene also shed tears, they know very well how Dea is very affectionate and longing for both parents but the affection of the parents he did not get.
''Let's sit there with grandma and aunt, Dea make dad drink''' he said to pass but held by his father.
