Another Thirteen Days
13 days more to my engagement.
Ironically, I dont feel the excitement.
Something that I dont look forward to.
Erm, it sounds wrong.
Truth is, I truly love the boyfriend, I would love to get engage but if Im given a choice, I dont want to go through what Im going and about to go through.
I was teased by friends on where Im getting engaged, at Lagun Sari Restaurant.
Its like a va va boom engagement. Something that other girls would be proud of.
But I dont. What is so WOW about that place?
Whatever.
My sister is the one who keep pushing me to do this and that.
Eventually I did it out of sympathy. She forked out hundreds for my 4 dulangs. She did research for me.
She planned for the venue. She got the berkats, She searched for cheap dulangs. She searched for bunga rampai. She gave lots and lots of ideas.
Shes that excited.
How can I disappoint her?
So yeah, when Im being pushed, eventually I moved.
And ouh, all girls would be excited to hunt for their engagement ring. Perhaps they got their dream & perfect ring months in advance?
Im left with pathetic 13 days and I dont even have a ring yet. I dont even think about it.
Thats how excited I am about this upcoming event.
While Im trying to get involved with all this, I overheard mom said to sister,
"Skrg ni korang yg plan gubahan, korang buat la. Mak nak tengok. Kalau dulu time kau,mak yg plan jadi mak yang buat".
And I started to have flashbacks.
2yrs ago, a month before sister's engagement, I had a tiffed with mom and I vividly remembered her words to me;
"Nanti time kau mak tak nak tolong, kau buat la sendiri."
Ha! How ironic.
Sometimes I wonder why I can never get along with her well.
Anyway if I would have to get excited, it would be this;
the little cute details.
If truth to be told, I still go on with this because,
I pitied my dad. He wants this event.
I still go on because,
my sister put lots of effort on this despite her busy schedules plus a baby on tow.
And I swear I cant wait to get over and done with.
I have so much better things to do.
My ideal engagement would be just exchange of ring, a private affair. No kepo aunties, no crowds, no pretend-to-be bride.
I strongly stand to that till today.
But my parents think otherwise.
Im doing something which I dont like.
And Im struggling to put on just that little bit of effort.
Tell me what is so fun dolling up and dressed up like a bride but sit without the groom?
I can so imagine myself on that day.
Ida, the-pathetic-silly-bride.
Thats funny. lol.
