SACRAL NUMERALS
I went back to the office routine, something was different this time with my room. Not just the room, the new post as branch manager was in my grasp. It has paid off the effort I've been making. The sweet moment I passed before I was in this position will always be a reminder of my hard work.
A message notification came in, Farhan.
Farhan : “ Later tonight, I'll pick you up. Jasmine has something for you”
Dea : “With pleasure, dear”
New call for Farhan. We have just decided to commit to more than just walking together. May this time not be wrong and not oppose my destiny. What surprise did they prepare for me? Actually I want to forget today, the day I'm going to face a reality of shifting numbers at my age. The age limit I was afraid to cross with single status.
Being single at a mature age, not my choice maybe for some people out there. But I still have to be grateful, the maturity and maturity that goes in this direction, make me a little entertained. Just a little, because of the fact I was indeed burdened when considering my current status.
****************************************************************************************
As soon as I got home, I immediately prepared for my show today with Farhan and Jasmine. Without me realizing it, it turns out that the house was empty, maybe my father and mother were looking for fresh air outside. Farhan picked me up on time, we left. Finally I just say goodbye through the message wa, because when I call you do not get an answer.
Farhan turned out to take me to his house, I guess maybe he prepared dinner for the three of us. What a sweet birthday surprise. It's just that I was hoping, she didn't prepare a birthday cake decorated with candles that showed my birthrate. Sensitively I look at it, just imagine I feel uncomfortable.
Farhan invited me in through the back door, saying he also wanted to surprise Jasmine. I also according. Farhan took my hand to go to the back door of his house. Of course, I'm heading for the kitchen. The situation is still quiet. I looked around, there was no sign of surprise here. I scrunched my forehead.
Five minutes later, the lights went out. I immediately shouted and jumped towards Farhan, he caught me in his arms swiftly. It was a shock to be half dead. Shortly thereafter, the lights came on and…………..SURPRISE…..!!!!!????!!!!! !!!!!????
There were both my parents there, complete with my two brothers and my nephews, Jasmine of course was there too. Everyone holds a gift and is ready to be presented to me. One by one they hugged me and congratulated me. Until Jasmine's turn came, this little girl walked towards me while carrying a small box.
“Be my Mother...” whispered, hugging me and kissing me repeatedly.
I immediately dissolved in an unusual taste. Melted the clear liquid in my eyes. This little girl loves me so much. He wanted to make me the most important part of his life. As soon as I let go of my embrace, Jasmine extended her gift to me. Farhan approached and opened the gift. A jewel necklace and a sweet ring.
First Farhan put a ring on my finger, then helped Jasmine put a necklace around my neck. Then led me to walk closer to my parents.
Excuse me and my aunt and my sisters, I would like to officially propose Dea to be my wife, to be the mother of Jasmine and her sisters later. Immediately the tears were unbearable upon hearing the agreed reply from my extended family. We get the blessing of family, the real blessing.
I'm very happy tonight, probably very, very happy. A lot of happiness came to me. It was as if I had forgotten that this figure that I was afraid to go through with single status. Thank you all. You're all the people who love me. We spent my birthday with great joy.
30, a number sacred to me. The numbers I avoided and feared. Actually I face not meeting this number in a condition still single. Destiny says something else. I am not in fact in power to resist either. This is what my destiny wants. Finding me with the right people, I have to pay this figure. Whatever it is, I accept. Because tonight I'm so happy.
A week after the event………..
Today I was on leave, I and Farhan wanted to surprise Jasmine by picking her up to school and taking her for a walk. Today is his birthday.
We decided to first stop by the cake shop and the toy store. This special gift will be given when we are on the playground later. Farhan and I are currently busy choosing beautiful clothes as gifts for Jasmine.
Suddenly someone hit me from the side, I turned my head. A pregnant woman hit me and immediately apologized. Wait a minute, I think I recognize this guy. It turned out that he was the first to realize that we knew each other. Carina. My old High School friend.
Karina :” Hi Dea..., inget I donk yaa”.
Karina : “Good donkkk. My son is two now. I'm busy making my third child's birth. How many of your children?
Dea :”Oh that, congratulations yaa”
Karina :” Uh haven't answered yet. How many kids are you?”
Dea :” I'm not married, doain yes...”.
Karina:” Hahhhh??? So you're not married yet??
Farhan immediately joined the tour. To plead for me. Farhan reached out and introduced himself as my future husband and promised to send us our wedding invitation. Imminent. Rupaya Farhan realized, the potential conflict that would occur if Karina continued to force herself to lean on questions.
I was saved from Karina. Thank you Farhan, my hero. Honestly, I was hurt by the questions Karina asked. Long time we did not meet, once met should end like before. It's very regrettable.
I tried to restore my mood and complete the mission of buying gifts and cakes for Jasmine. When we finished, we immediately slid towards Jasmine school. Along the way, Farhan was silent. I know he's trying to keep my feelings.
Finally Farhan opened the conversation, that later at the school gate Jasmine could be ascertained a tinge of sudden attacks from a group of mothers who were fatigued. I have to prepare for that. Farhan tells, whether since when the mother-memak community was formed. The main mission is to provide comments for whoever the guardian of the student who came to pick up his children.
As soon as I got out of the car, Farhan grabbed my hand. I'm actually a little uncomfortable. But Farhan said it was mandatory, as a precaution. All this time people know Farhan's status as an established widower, but long time no longer looking for a wife. Surely my arrival will draw their attention. Justright. Show's starting…….
I heard whispers, perhaps more precisely clear-sounding gossip. Because there are some who deliberately raise the volume of his voice, with the aim that we can hear clearly.
“Eh that's who the same in duren...?”
“Eh, his father Jasmine brought a strong match....”.
“Oh..so this is stepmother Jasmine…..
“janda too?..
Don't-don't the old virgin…
Laughter then rumbles
We walked, through the crowd. Farhan tightened his grip, as if to show his desire to protect me. Before long, Jasmine appeared and rushed towards me.
“Delay...”.
Instantly the crowd of mothers with the buzzing sound of wasps reverberated.
“Oh..bener stepmother.
“Reacted new wife P. Farhan…
I smiled and grabbed Jasmine's hand and took her to the car. I decided not to get dizzy with the voices that were still clearly heard behind me. The perfect show. Thank you Jasmine. Thank you Farhan.
