We are looking for Rose's gown. I mean is Kebaya. In Indonesia, a lot of brides wearing Kebaya for a wedding party or wedding itself! Because it's our tradition. I wanted to tell you a classic love story from Indonesia. It's Romeo and Juliette's local version of that. But it's more complicated.
Siti Nurbaya fell in love with a poor young man, and they were having a relationship secretly because Siti Nurbaya was from a noble family. And one day, the poor young man when out of the town for works, Siti Nurbaya was sad and waiting for him. Day after day, month after month, and year after year, he hasn't come back. Siti Nurbaya was forcedly to accept the enggagement. In her heart, she still loves him.
A year after Siti Nurbaya's marriage, he came back to his homeland. He becomes a successful businessman, and he already heard Siti Nurbaya has married. He was sad. He was approaching Siti Nurbaya every day but had no luck. Siti Nurbaya was sad too. She was regretful, but she doesn't happy with that man. She becomes sick and dies.
But another version said that their relationship got caught, and her father forcing her to marry her father's best friend son. The poor boy won't accept that. He went to the town. Working hard and came back with money in his hand, but he got no luck! Siti Nurbaya was sad, she got separated from the love of her life, and she was sick and died. The poor boy who heard that the love of his life died. He was sad. He locked himself, and he died while hugging Siti Nurbaya's last letter.
We can learn from that story that you can't force another person to love you. Let it be! If you forced me to love you, I'm sorry you'll be dead next. "What your opinion about this" I looked at her, "will you wearing that bun?" She nods, "it's our tradition! Are you forgotten yet, old lady!?" I choked. She was so beautiful when she was wearing that Kebaya. "No, I'm not. I was distracted by your elegance, and..." I stood up and smiling at her. "Beauty when you were wearing that Kebaya," She hugs me. "But..." she looks at me, "I want you to put your make up simple as you could," she nods.
"But I came from Indonesia-Aussie, so what about it?" I put my hand inside my pocket, "don't you dare to say that again," She laughs as she slaps my shoulders. "Come one, me and Chaeyoung Park are twin!" I shook my head. "Chaeyoung Park is Rosanne? Park. Rose Park for the shortcut," she hugs my left arm.
"So, what are you wearing?" I show my suit, "You want a wedding party?" She shook her head, "I want to supper with our family and close friends. "Okay," thank God. I thought she wanted a spectacular wedding party.
"You will invite your employees, right?" I'm looking at her, "you want me to invite them?" I sighed, "I wanted to invite our investors and other companies to change the party that we ruined it," she looked at me, "let me change these clothes," I held her hip because she almost fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?" She nods. "I don't like new clothes smells." so do I. I help her to stand and piggyback her, "so, where are we going?" She hugs my neck, "searching for an empty changing room, please!" I nodded. "Yes, ma'am!" I looked at her. "Hey, you want to pick our ring?" She hums and kisses my cheek.
"I'm meow-gry," I looked at her, "we ate a lot of samples on Jennie's, Rose." She hugs me tight, "but it was a snack," a snack!? "Okay," well, I should work harder than the last time.

We were sitting on the bench, several days ago, we bought a ring at this mall. Five stars mall, and now, we eat our snacks and burger. "You want to watch a movie?" She looks at me, "Fast and Furious 9?" I nodded. I like the FF movies franchise. "I wanted to know you more," I looked at her, "you want to taste mine?" I look at her, "sure," I take a bite of her crepes. "It's too sweet for me. you want to taste mine?" Rose was taking a bite.
"It's not sweet at all, but good" I nodded. "Why do you like National Geographic?" I looked at her, "I like National Geographic because they have good shows like Nazi's Megastructure, Food Factory, and I like Car SOS, too!" She hums. "I'm learning everything is from what I watched, heard, and told." She looks at me. I put the crepes cardboard in the trash can and wiped my mouth with a tissue. "I'm becoming a lesbian, not from a movie, but it's an everyday problem." She looks at me.
"I watched my photograph at the album when I was a junior high, elementary school, and it's hitting me!" She looks at me, "It's like I got hitting by a truck," we laugh, "it's true, Rose." She looks at me, "and I don't know what if I become a parent," I hold her hand, "what I imagine you become a parent is, you will intimidating our child, Lobak. I mean, you have Hyde, but you will use her when our child is getting hurt by their boyfriend or girlfriend," I nodded.
"If our child is cheating, I will be furious." She looks at me, "why?" I looked at her, "because if you can't be faith in one girl or one boy! You can't keep what God gives to you," she looked at me. "Before I was with Eva, I was with someone else. But, God tests me, am I was cheating or not." I sighed. "I almost cheat," She looks at me.
"How!?" I rub her cheek, "I'm not talking to my girlfriend because she was so cold like we were there, but my mind is not. Like we not chatting with each other like this," Rose nods. "And then, Jane found her boyfriend was cheating. It's like a bomb for me. I shouldn't do it, so I broke up with her. And I lose her contact," she nods.
"I understand why you were doing it. It's because you were don't want to cheat, right?" I nodded. "I don't want to hurt her too deeply, but Jane. She got it wrong!" She hums. "Sarah also told me that you were like your senior when you were at high school?" I chuckle. "Yeah, I liked him. But he married one of my classmates so, I'm fine." She hums. "But, the only thing I should know about you is your love is pure for me, not lust," I look her in the eye.
"How you can tell?" She rubs her chin, "I can feel it? I mean, if you love me, why are you always protecting me, like that JW Mariot? You make a statement so clearly, and you did not let my mom intimidate you," I looked at her. "Since that day..." I looked at her. "I... fell in love with you," I'm smiling, "I-I know it's embarrassing. I never confessing to someone before," I hugged her, "thank you," She responded to my hug. "Since that kiss, Rose," she looks at me, "I already fell for you, but my feeling not sure. I was afraid you will.." she kissed my lips. People might be watching. I don't mind. Brought you by Lauv, the song title is Paris in the Rain.
"I'm not finished yet!" She giggles, "okay, finish your word!" I sighed, "I was afraid you would thinking because I wanted to confess my feeling towards you is lust." She hums, "that's why were you not saying it after Sam shows up?" I nodded, "We should invite him," she was laughing as she slapped my shoulder. I'm happy to see her smile. "Are you serious!?" I nodded. "We should come to prison and gave him a slice a cake." I chuckled and held her hand. "So, where do you want to go next?" She hums.
"We should design our wedding invitations," I nodded. "We go home?" Rose shook her head, "I wanted to go there!" She was pointing to Gramedia bookstore. It's rare. "Let's go!" I'm following her because she pulls my tie.
