I have been known to my family as the one who tends to do stupid things unintentionally. Who messes up here and there due to own clumsiness. And most times, I do those things with Bangun.
So when we attended a wrong wedding reception yesterday, somehow it didn't come as a surprise for me. Or my family. And by family I also mean Sulis my house keeper and Ikun my ex-driver.
I woke up early at 10 - something I hardly do on a Saturday. Bangun had asked me to attend this wedding reception of his work colleague in Kuningan. So there we drove through Jakarta's hell-ish Saturday noon traffic, under the scorching midday sun.
When we arrived, there was no sign of the couple's name. We did, however, saw several people in blangkon and beskap walking here and there, so we parked the car and walked to the building.
When Bangun stopped to see the pre-wed pictures near the reception desk and froze, I know something was wrong. The couple in the frame looked unfamiliar to him.
Aaaand yes, the party was someone else's. Our party was not until 7 that night.
What's a dumbfounded couple to do when we suddenly had to kill six, seven hours until the real reception started? We went to PS and watched two movies in a row.
It turned out as a fun date. We bought tickets to Garuda di Dadaku and Ice Age 3D, we stuffed ourselves with hot dogs, popcorns, steaks, bakso, and ice cream, plus I got to shop a little.
In the end, we went back to the building later at night and mingled with the correct crowd. There was some jambo-spotting, but hey, a party is not a party without trashy bitches.... is it?
