di sudut ruangan ber-AC dan sepuntung rokok.

"Ibu ndak nyangka kalo itu anakmu Nggar. Mbak Putri belum sampai nikah, kamu udah mau punya anak" "Maafin Langgar, Bu. Langgar khilaf. Kita tunggu sampe resepsi Mbak Putri selesai ya, nanti kita bahas lagi" "Panggil Bram ke kamar Ibu ya, nak" "Iya Bu"  Langgar menuju selasar gedung pertemuan, matanya mencari sesosok tinggi adiknya sambil menyulut rokoknya menjauhi ruang rias Ibunya. Pikirannya menerawang melewati kelibatan tamu-tamu asing di sekitarnya. Sebagian besar adalah tamu dari mempelai pria; kakak iparnya. ------12 jam sebelumnya.... "Aku cuma mau bilang, Mas Edi beruntung bisa nikahin Mbak Putri. Dia itu bener-bener berharga buat keluargaku Mas. Dia teladanku dan selalu njagain aku sama Mas Langgar dari kecil. Mudah-mudahan Mas Edi tau apa yang akan kalian segera temui setelah pernikahan ini. Aku titip mbakyu ku ya Mas, tolong dijaga dan dilindungi." "Pasti Bram. Aku sadar bahwa Putri wis akih berkorban demi hubun...

A proposal (part seven)

"I don't believe in marriage" "I'll convince you of it. I am right now actually. It's the third time I'd say it; would you marry me?" "Why?" "Answer first! And I hope the long pause brings something relieving" ..................   "Will you propose to me again if I say no this time?" "You bet I will, it's always unconditional to marry you" "Let's give it a shot, I've been trusting you for years, I will be again in the future" "Would you marry me?" "I do" -the end-

when men's got a girlfriend....

.......they'd change 1. they ignore boys nights out. Going out with a girlfriend apparently is the most fun a boyfriend can do on weekend. Not just about having the pleasure in that boyish way, but also letting out the real emotion to the opposite sex who'd respond to their inner sensitivity with good hugs and feelings, instead of a punch in the shoulder saying "oh, you can go thru this shit, man!". 2. they spend more money for cheesy thing. Flowers, chocolate, cards, surprises and gift voucher. Making the girlfriend happy is always a self-satisfactory.

A proposal (part six)

"Man, seriously? You gotta let her go. There's no one in this world who would reject a proposal TWICE! Considering how long you have been dating her, and all the things you've gone through with her" "Come on, I gotta need to be reassured that the third time will work. I gotta take some days off to think of how can I convince her" "You want to do a third one? A bloody third proposal? You are nuts!" "I've been told that I am. So why bother giving up?" "What's in her mind? Have you read?" "I've been reading a lot, and I've been wrong too. I don't think I need to read more. I gotta feel what she feels so I could understand what she wants, and again, convince her of what we can achieve together. I know she wants to be with me too, I just need a reason to get her more attached." "How?" "I told you, I need days off to think of how" "You're sick enough to take your own t...
