One Peaceful Day at The End of 2017


2017.

These past few months has been relentless. It's a common my job will become very busy by the end of the year. It seems I have no time to even have a sip of coffee. I come home late everyday just to make sure everything is on the right tracks. But still, they didn't give me a sec to even catch a breath. Dealing with tight deadlines made me sick I think I'm overloaded. It's getting busier because I also preparing my wedding.

Everything fly so fast I barely believe it. Well, no one ever predicted this would run so fast and smooth, including myself. But I took it as a serendipity, it was a pleasant surprise. I strongly believe everything that happens in my life is the best gifts that God gave me. Though our plan is to get married by next year because me and Ardhy has some things need to take care of, but we guessed God has another beautiful plan. We finally married before the end of the year. Some people asked, "how do you feel?", it's all mixed up, you know. I'm happy, and a bit confused. It's kind of jetlag. I'm happy because I finally got married as what I planned, I'm a bit confused because I still can't believe, everything is made easier by God, and this clumsy feeling everytime I remember that I'm holding a new title as a wife.

For me, he's a patient one. For example, when he bought the rings. He insisted to find the store on weekdays because he has more free time on it. I feel so sorry for him I can't accompany him because I can't leave my works. I do have a custom design for us, but due to the time that is quite close to our schedule, no stores are willing to make my custom ring because of the short deadline we asked. Ardhy even had to go to Cikini to check whether they could make my custom ring. I was almost desperate and told him to just buy regular rings. I'm okay, we can buy it another time, I said. He refused. He's still trying to find another store and finally ended up to a store located in Melawai that willing to undertake our request, or, my request. Since I can't accompany him I just leave a ring I have for him to take it as my finger size, eventhough at the end of the day he warned me, "we already bought it, please don't complain if it doesn't fit to you finger. It's what you want", we laughed. Thank you so much for your effort, Ardhy.

We were also busy with buying stuffs for our wedding such as souvenirs, clothing materials, and bla bla. Furthermore, we need to back and forth to Sanggar Liza to check the wedding dress, family's attires, and etc, talking about our wedding planning with family and eeeverything related to our wedding needs. There are always some things we must do every weekend which means exhausting moments. But then again, Ardhy always accompany me, so those exhausting feelings reduced by his presence beside me. A little problem came when my parents wanting more guest lists. Oh really? At first, me and Ardhy wanted a simple wedding party and planned to not invite many guests. Neverthless, the wedding itself is just a synonym of parent's stuff, right? Considering my big family is literally big, not to mention relatives, parents's colleagues and bla bla. Everything seems so far enough from what I planned, from what I thought, especially about the guest lists *sigh*.

To celebrate the end of this pain (haha! No I'm not that allergic to preparing my wedding things, my mom, sister, and aunt help me anyway, they help me much. But still I can't deny preparing this and that really need extra energy and mood). Me and Ardhy went to zoo for jogging - yeah I know another too much words, it's not a celebration, Ardhy had to asked me zillionth time to do jogging but I always refused him with some reasons like I'm too tired, I want to wake up late in weekend because hey, for me weekend means lazy day. I need my relax time, dude. But we finally jogged. No, we walked. We just strolled around since I haven't jogged for a decade, I lost my breath after run for.. 5 minutes? LOL. Ardhy was finally relented, he stopped from his jog and walk with me. I've insisted him to leave me alone and let him to continue his jogging, I told him I'm okay we could meet in a meeting point, no problem. But Ardhy will be Ardhy. The stubborn one. He insisted that I would get lost in zoo if I walk alone, "it's okay at least we get sweat, right?" he comforted me. The morning air in zoo was very fresh, chirping sound by birds enliven the morning that gave me comfortable feeling. Can I stop the time for a second? Because I feel happiness inside and out.
