This is the third summer for Mia. A woman who works as an interior designer. Son of one of the famous architects in his homeland. Following in the footsteps of her father, Mia is now also in the land of sakura. His father. Summer here so many festivals, teenagers looking for love, water war in the park, go to enjoy the ice to relieve the heat. However, from all that Mia never tried to do it. Just being in his small apartment with AC and a novel that lately dares to drain his wallet. Yes, for 3 summers he was just like that. He once implanted a phrase in his brain "if I go out, I can melt". Really ridiculous.
Just a quarter of a page, the noise from his cell phone is disturbing. At first he ignores but even the compulsion bothers. Intrigued, he swiped his phone screen upwards to unlock it. 5 Messages from the same person. Mia's black eyes shift from thriller novel.
"Let's go to Okinawa!" that was the message from his friend. Chelsee.
For a moment Mia's brain imagined the tropical island. He's never been there, only knows through pictures
on the internet and a collection of photos belonging to his friend. The sea water is clear blue, the landscape is still natural. Not much different
with Bali, he said. A heavy sigh came out from his mouth, lazy to go
there. Hot weather is the main reason.
Since there was no reply, Chelsee sent another message. Indeed the phone is more practical but the situation is now not supportive. The fingers move quickly over the phone screen. Type sentence coercion. Some of her messages were ignored by Mia. It looks 'read' but there is no reply. His mind takes out a thousand swears.
Chelsee swears after his job ends he will drag Mia to go to Okinawa. It must be today, it cannot be another day.
Mia's eyeballs twisting bored. Chelsee suddenly came to his apartment. No wonder Chelsee also lives in the same apartment building. One floor up. As per Chelsee's oath, once his affairs are complete he will drag Mia down. His left hand was carrying a 20-inch toska suitcase.
"Where are you going?" ask Mia plain. This 27-year-old girl really doesn't understand. Suddenly came with a suitcase.
"Okinawans. We don't want to leave today."
"I said I didn't want to."
Unconcerned by her friend's scream, Chelsee forcefully entered Mia's room. Looking for a suitcase
put some clothes in. In terms of forcing Chelsee to be an expert. In the doorway Mia just rubbed her face, inexhaustible with the behavior of her friend.
"Wait a minute I'll take a shower."
Chelsee smiled fully. From the beginning, he was sure that it would work. Now just wait for his friend to take a shower. And soon their plane took off. Mia is a modest girl in dress, a big size white shirt and skinny jeans that she wears today. During the plane Mia was just silent, after all Chelsee was busy with his small note. I don't know what Mia's got in it. Maybe the coffee business calculation.
It takes 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach the tropical Japanese island of Okinawa. They continued their journey to the hotel
which Chelsee had booked in a taxi. About 1 hour. At first Mia did not think it would be this long, since getting off the plane she kept complaining of her back pain. It's like old man, inner Chelsee.
Double bed padded straight Mia attack.
"Ah, finally..."
Chelsee just glanced at his best friend rolling on the bed. While he unpacked the contents of his suitcase,
immediately hang peach color mini dress with sleeveless model.fit once used when summer.
"Where are you going with that dress?"
"Later you'll know" Chelsee replied briefly.
Mia yawned and looked at her watch. It's been 3 hours she's been sleeping and all that time Chelsee went somewhere.
Mia moved to the window. Directly facing the sea, many tourists play there. Maybe he's the only one who's lazy to come out. If only he was not hungry then he would continue his sleep, from the time he left until here he only ate red bean sandwich, anpan. The hotel he stayed at was quite luxurious, Chelsee said it was a five-star hotel. Dress up if Mia is currently served a lot of luxury foods ranging from Japanese to European.
While eating Mia's carbonara penne fiddling with her phone, she wondered what Chelsee was doing right now. Repeatedly making calls but not getting a response, as well as short messages.
"Mia!"
Mia stopped playing her phone, she turned to the source of the voice. Chelsee Voice. It has become typical of one
"Who is he?" whispered Mia.
"Ah, introduce him to my friend. Nee, Kuro-kun he's the friend I was telling you about."
Mia's eyebrows were raised when she heard the suffix*kun. When did they start to be friends? Seakrab what? I don't know it doesn't matter. Mia hastily replies to the introduction of a known man named Kuro. He just said Kuro, he,
no family name. Strange but Mia doesn't want to know more details. After getting to know each other Mia continued to eat her penne which was almost cold. Hurry he ate, if the cold tastes so unpleasant
any more. Sometimes he almost choked. Her childish behavior made Kuro smile a little.
Mia thinks the destination to Okinawa is for a vacation but it's not. He was forced a second time by
Chelsee for dress up. White open shoulder model short dress with black embroidery motig has been prepared. Chelsee said there's a wedding to attend. From the mirror reflection Mia could see that
she has been made up by an experienced makeup artist.
"Who's married?" mia asked while looking at Chelsee from the mirror reflection. Now Chelsee was next to him, equally dimakeup.
"You'll know later."
Many things are surprising to Mia today. He did not expect that the party would be present as well
at the hotel where he stayed. Maybe Chelsee was on purpose. The spacious hotel ballroom is conjured with hundreds of white and pink roses. The backlight is yellow and white. People like things that smell feminine and romantic. Mia started to wonder who had it. He sits while stealing the attention of Chelsee who is getting sticky with Kuro.
"Chelsee!"
"Oh, Selvi turns out. Sit here!"
Mia knows the girl who just greeted her best friend. Selvi, as far as Mia used to know the girl was in class with Chelsee while on campus. Mia doesn't really know him because of his different prodi.
"You're Mia, right?"
Mia gave a sweet smile while assuring.
"Chelsee I never thought you'd come to Sarah's wedding. Hmm and who is he?"
"Of course my boyfriend."
Not Selvi who was surprised but Mia. He's been friends with Chelsee since I was in elementary school and he knows everything. Even the romance relationship is sometimes unclear. The smallest thing must have been told to her. Unless Kuro's problem is his girlfriend. And again his ears catch if this is Sarah's wedding. Suddenly his head was dizzy, it felt like he had hit the jackpot.
"You owe me an explanation" Mia said in Japanese. Then he gulped down his orange juice. Chelsee just smiled stiffly. A few minutes later the ballroom door opened, letting the woman in with her father. Mia was stunned to see Sarah's face which usually looks ketus now looks calm. Is it because it's her happy day? Or is the makeup artist too sophisticated? Mia's black eyes unconsciously continued to stare at Sarah
walk closer to her future husband. His mind was thinking about marriage. He said 27 years old was enough for a family. But he himself had not thought about marriage. Candidates are not.
"What is marriage?" ask in the heart.
According to the dictionary of marriage is a bond (account) marriage is done in accordance with the provisions
religious law and teachings. There are many sweet words in marriage. A love is inseparable, is it true? Due to a slightly messy family background she decided not to think about marriage. Sometimes Mia also thinks that humans were created to coexist. Does he also have a life partner?
For now he just wants to be away from 'marriage'.
