SCENE 36
"One two Three ..."
"Woah .... Dea got it." everyone excited while catching the wedding flower bouquet. The bride clapped her hands happily, the awaited day has arrived. God has joined two people who have found their ribs, and Adam's two grandchildren are united in marriage. Rose and Juna are so united and happy with today, a special day that they will never forget in the history of their lives. The day the two were united, in the sacred bond of marriage.
The girl was wearing a wedding dress in an empire style. A plain dress with a choice of one colour seems simple but still looks elegant.
"Sure we are." joked Rose, laughing. Juna took Rose's arm, she did not think that she was still young enough to get married, but when she understood each other's character, Juna finally knew, Rose was the last place to be anchored.
The bride and groom leave everyone behind and walk out of their second party. Happy smiles, relief, happiness, cannot be denied, filling the happiness of both of them.
"Thank you for being my old friend," Rose said earnestly. Juna indeed, her first and last love. That's why sometimes she gets annoyed at Cheryl who is openly chasing after her lover, even though she knows Juna won't turn away. But as a woman and having feelings, Rose is a goitre.
"So where are we? Aren't there still a lot of guests?"
"It's our special day now. Wearing special clothes too. We'll do whatever we want. Have a plan?"
"Just go home?"
Rose and Juna turned around to see Aldo wearing a pink suit, and his partner only wearing a grey jumpsuit, not the dress code to the party. But that girl doesn't care, this is her life and no one should bother her.
"Congratulations." Aldo and Juna hugged each other, friendly greetings. Unexpectedly, Juna will end his bachelorhood this soon.
"Thank you for being able to move on. I hope we are all happy." Juna message to Aldo. The boy turned to the woman beside him, who was eating chewing gum in a dusty pink knit crochet hat, and white sneakers. It can't be helped, he met a dirty girl again. Because the girl kept harassing him, made him realize that he was not forever wallowing in sadness and finally Aldo continued to move on to a more beautiful future.
"Congratulations." Aldo took out his hand and hugged Rose tightly. Youth journey must end with a beautiful and sad story of each. Even though Cheryl will remain in their hearts.
"Oh yes, we want to go first. Please enjoy the available dishes," saidΒ Rose. Seriously, the host is rude. When the guests come and they leave.
Juna and Rose continued to leave their building to carry out their second sacred pickle.
"So what's the plan?"
"Just together, enjoying a meal."
"Eat on, okay." Juna pulled Rose's nose anxiously and kissed his wife's lips for a while. Suddenly, Rose's face turned red like a red rose.
"She said he wanted to be steady, but just kissed the lips embarrassed." Juna teased. Rose only hit his husband's arm because she was embarrassed, he continued to tease her.
"Uh ... Don't be the one, wait to read the prayer first. Let the devil not come."
"It's already married," Juna argued. Rose took her husband's hand. Husband? Oh, please split the head of Rose, if everything is only in her every dream.
"I can't believe it, we're husband and wife now."
"There's already a ring." Juna took Rose's finger and showed the girl's hand that was embedded in their wedding ring. The ring that will be a silent witness, they build a household together from scratch.
"Omg ... I'm married! Ahhhhh ..." shrieked Rose. Makes those around them see the bride has gone mad.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh like to shout about in the room."
"You're pervert." crochet Rose. Juna just laughed. He can be sure, Rose must be terrified during their execution on their first night. The girl is only brave, just say it on the lips.
"So where are we going?"
"Today, I want us to be simple, like our simple but special relationship. So, today you are prohibited from carrying a car. We take public transportation, we can bring a lot of money. I want to eat a lot." Juna just shook his head but obeyed. Their multi-storey wedding cake is still perched in the building. They haven't cut it yet. However, if Rose wanted something else, she could only obey. Rose is the queen now. And the queen's orders are absolute.
"Your wish is my command."
The two of them arm in arm towards the highway, in Rose's clothes that almost swept the ground. But, luckily the dress she wears is simple, so Rosee doesn't have to feel heavy because of her costume.
"So there is a bus." Rose saw the bus and waved her hand as a stop. Hopefully, no one thought that both of them were crazy or even eloped because in terms of age Rose and Juna were still very young.
"We're going to the flea market." The driver nodded. With enthusiasm, Rose went up inside. Some passengers are just silent, mothers are carrying their children. A grandparent carry roster in his arms as well as a chicken coop bag that can be carried everywhere.
Rose only paid attention to the rooster that looked uncomfortable.
"It's so much," whispered Rose. Juna turned his head while shaking his head, hard code doesn't be noisy inside.
"Where did you get off?" asked the driver.
"At the park." Rose breathes a sigh of relief, park will soon be in front of her, so she doesn't need to feel that this rooster is being tortured because he can't breathe between the grandfather.
"Mother likes to fly, right?" The mothers holding the child nodded, with two black bags under them. May contain clothes.
There were only four passengers, and the pay was so low each. Rose thought, are the drivers or the owners of these transportation profitable or are they even disadvantaged? The proliferation of private vehicles as well as online vehicles, making conventional things like this, has long been abandoned. Rose feels sad, how do they look for food if like this? Are they able to compete with the world of technology which is getting more and more advanced day by day? Even if we just blink, there have been many changes in this world. Especially in the case of technology that is so rapidly developing.
"Where are the rooster going, Grandpa?" could not stand it, finally Rose asked. In a ten-minute journey, she has learned many life lessons and understands the meaning of being grateful for her life that never lacks anything. Support from the family never breaks. Classicβa husband who always supports what she does. A loyal friend, Rose never felt less, only less grateful maybe.
"This rooster is for sale."
"On sale?"
"Yes. For food. Buy rice, buy noodles, buy eggs." Rose's throat felt choked. She eats in complete side dishes, sometimes she feels lacking. Actually, why does God allow her to be abundant but not very grateful?
"Want to sell at a shop?"
"Don't know yet. Want to try bargaining first." Rose squeezed Juna's hand. You could feel, their hands were sweating because they were interlocked all this time.
"Just buy it, or share the money with this grandfather. Poor him." whispered Rose Juna's heart immediately grew happy. The characteristic of Rose is that she is very helpful. She will help anyone, especially she is not stingy.
"Um ... How much do you want to sell Grandpa?"
"Ten dollar."
"I buy." Rose immediately offered. Because the intention is to help the grandfather.
"Or, I'll give grandpa some money. And just take the rooster home." The old man shook his head.
"I want to be sold."
"So we bought it." Rose stroked Juna's hand, coding her husband to give her money. Juna reached into his pocket and took out several bills.
"I bought the bag too." Rose deliberately folded her money so that it didn't look like much, she was sure that this grandfather was not asking for mercy. He wants to get from his efforts.
"Grandpa, what's your name?"
"Hardon."
"Cool name." Praise Rose.
"If we have a house, take it to our house." Juna just nodded. Accommodating people is not difficult, as long as those who ride around know themselves and don't act a lot.
"Where's Grandpa's house?" The grandfather mentioned his home address and secretly, Rose promised, she would bring the grandfather to her house so that the grandfather would prosper.
"Oh yes. We just got married, pray that we last." Grandpa, whose skin was all wrinkled, and looked unkempt at all, saw the two young people in front of him in turn.
"You will have a daughter and name her Anna."
"Why should it be Anna?" inquired Rose.
"Just give her the name Anastasia." Rose and Juna looked at each other. Cheryl Anastasia. Is it true, has something to do with the name Cheryl?
"Wow, thanks. The name Anna is cool."
The grandfather finally got off, although not at park. But, finally got off at a pharmacy. Juna and Rose looked at each other. It is one good thing they did, on the wedding day they did a lot of good, not just partying by wasting money for fun. Simple, and helping each other, it is more useful a million times.
And, in the same way, Rose and Juna helped the mother who was on the bus. The mother wants to buy milk. The two plastic bags contain clothes that she plans to exchange for milk for her son to drink. Rose and Juna immediately reached out and made the women cry. God will not let his servant suffer. That is what has always been instilled, and today God is showing His greatness.
______________
"You never amaze me with all your attitudes." Juna praised Rose when the two got off the bus and walked to the flea market.
"Shit! Our rooster, w forgot." shrieked Rose, forgetting. Because she was so moved. Juna just shook his head.
"Hopefully back to his master." ROSE took Juna's hand to see a lot of snacks on the side of the road. Time to pamper your stomach.
"What I want to eat grilled satay, grilled claws, I think there are grilled quail eggs too." Rose immediately sat on the patio of the shop, fanning her face. Even though Juna imagined that she would take Rose to a luxurious and private restaurant, which was only the two of them and live music. However, his wife's choice was unpredictable. In the end, he struggled himself.
Juna ordered all of Rose's requests. It was seen that everyone looked at Rose in surprise because they saw the wedding dress she was wearing. But, Rose doesn't cares about all of that. The important thing is legitimate, the important thing is that she is happy and she also had time to help others.
"Water too." Rose pointed to a drink seller with pink water, making Juna come over and buy the drink. Juna approached Rose who was already hungry.
"Is it good?"
"Delicious. This is crazy, I like the quail eggs the most, the chicken feet are delicious, the meatballs too. Ah, all delicious."
"Yummy ..." Mawar steamed Juna quail eggs that had been pierced like satay.
Juna took the pink drink in a plastic glass, really simple and on the side of the road.
"Are you happy like this?" Rose nodded and put all the food in her mouth.
"Yes, simple is good. But I will give the best for you, trying so that you don't have to feel inadequate."
"I know," answered Rose as she pleased. Juna only tugged at his wife's nose with affection, sometimes Juna still thought Rose was his girlfriend. But she is now ex-girlfriends.
"After that, where are you going?"
"I want to eat ice cream." Rose pointed to the shop opposite the overhang they are currently sitting in, selling food. Meanwhile, the shop they currently occupy sells school supplies and supplies.
Juna stood up and bought four-letter ice cream. Yes, it is the cheapest ice cream. Juna bought a bag, even though she was sure Rose could finish all of this.
Juna came back and Rose sucked the pink water.
"It's great. There are flavours of corn, strawberry, watermelon, melon, mango." Rose counts the ice cream flavours one by one, and first opens the taste of the corn.
"Which, aren't these clothes our lease?"
"Never mind. We'll just buy new," said Juna lightly, opening the watermelon-flavoured ice cream for his wife to eat.
"We said we wanted to be thrifty."
"Shhhhh! Shut up and enjoy whatever you want, lest you feel hungry."
"Or trouble, because I will always compliment you," Rose answered Juna because she had memorized all the man's rags, even though the truth was so.
Rose is so hearty, with the ice cream.
"After this, what are we going to do?"
"We'll walk right home."
"Tired at first. Not so steady."
"So you've been thinking that?" accused Rose. Juna went awry there was no such ridiculous thought at all, but being accused like that, it was like he was caught off guard.
"You're a bad guy. You must have thought of something, right?"
"You're not menstruating, are you?" asked Juna. Rose shook her head.
"Not really. But, I'm not ready, open the meal."
"The story of Sudarma in the Mahabharata." it was Juna's turn to answer, to annoy Mawar.
"The story of Florence Roscea and Arjuna Raftali in the predestined book of life. Which has been written in the leaf of life."
"Do you want to hug?" asked Juna. Rose looked at the people around her who were busy, respectively. The girl immediately stole a kiss on his husband cheek. Kiss your husband's cheek is not sinful, right?
Rose just smiled happily, when Juna turned around. Juna held Rose's face and clamped her until the girl's lips were like mackerel. And Juna immediately stole and quickly kissed the full little lips. From the first, Juna wanted to taste his lover's lips, but he respects women, he wants them to be legitimate like he just asked for his rights.
Juna could see Rose's entire face was turning red. Ah, so cute and adorable.
"Huh what? How come? Okay, we're there now." Rose's face looked panicked. Her tears have already fallen.
"Jasmine. Jasmine." Rose hit Juna's knee.
"Why?"
"Jasmine is collapse. Let's go home!" Rose immediately pulled her husband's hand and headed straight for the hospital.
Hopefully, that doesn't happen, nothing to Jasmine.
