The day he never waited for finally came. The day on which he would tie the sacred promise of marriage for the first time. A start he never wanted, but could not refuse.
Married to a famous artist may be the dream of some women, but not for her. Marrying Zico was like a new problem for her.
Sally noticed his appearance from the mirror before her. The white dress she chose at Aletta's boutique at the time seemed to fit on her body. The plain white veil that extended to her chest was covered by a transparent veil that extended to her knees, plus a silver-colored crown that was above her head. Looks perfect for Sally, making her look more radiant. Especially with makeup that is not too thick, but still looks beautiful on her face.
Sally smiled faintly at her appearance. Perhaps if he were to marry of his own accord, he would be very happy today. The luxurious building, the beautiful dress, the beautiful makeup, would be very special if only this was the wedding she had hoped for.
Even so Sally tried to live it with a sincere heart, she tried to live it as a marriage that is actually not like a contract marriage.
"God is so beautiful" said someone to make Sally again disperse her daydream.
Sally smiled looking at her two friends who were neat with the kebaya she prepared for them. Peach-colored kebaya that looks suitable for Feli and Amara. Amara's well-groomed hair with silver ornaments on the edge of her hair, making Amara look more beautiful. Hijab that color is in line with the kebaya Feli also looks beautiful used by Feli. "You're beautiful too" praised Sally.
Feli and Amara hugged Sally at the same time. "I can't wait to see you become Zico's wife, what dreams do I squirm my marriage with a famous artist. Very lucky for you, I hope Zico can be happy for you." Feli said sincerely, he was really happy because his best friend had found his happiness.
Sally smiled, confused as to what to respond to Feli's prayer which she herself was unsure of. "May you also be able to follow soon, aamiin."
"Aamiin," replied Amara and Feli compact.
"Judah we are ahead, yuk! Others have been impatiently waiting for you," said Amara while holding Sally's right hand. Feli did the same thing, he took Sally's left hand.
The two take Sally to the hotel ballroom, not too far away. Because the room used by Sally was on the same floor as the room where the wedding was held.
Arriving there, many pairs of eyes that pay attention to Sally, the flash of her camera seaborne to take her picture. It made her a little nervous, her hands started to feel cold. He hoped that if he did not do something that would embarrass him, because this marriage could have leaked to the media.
Amara and Feli bring Sally to sit next to the existing Zico first. After that both of them retreated so as not to interfere too much with the event.
Zico watched Sally who was already sitting beside him. He was amazed to see the appearance of Sally, the woman looked very beautiful. When he realized what he was thinking, Zico opened his eyes and turned his gaze away.
"Because the bride has arrived, the show can we start now?" ask the middle-aged man who was the forerunner at the wedding of Zico and Sally.
Zico shook his eyes, staring at the corner of the room hoping he could see his parents. Although the possibility is small. He had invited his brother to be a witness, replacing his parents.
Sally glanced at Zico who was looking around, as if looking for something. He understood what the man was looking for, in his heart he was also worried that the Hero would change his mind and not come.
"Wait!"
Sally and Zico turned their eyes toward the source of the sound. Sally's smile rose when she saw in front of her that Wira and Maya had just arrived. He was happy because Zico's parents came. Sally turned her head back towards Zico, The man looked surprised by the arrival of his parents.
"The way can start now" Wira continued after sitting with his wife.
The host continued his show. He asks Zico to be the guardian of Sally, who is his distant brother who is the son of his uncle. Sally herself did not expect if there was a brother who knew it from television, because the news of Zico and Sally's marriage spread. Since then his brother decided to become a guardian at his marriage, a brother whose age was only two years on it.
Sally was so grateful that at least one of the brothers wanted to be her guardian. Fortunately his brother went to his house, because neither Sally nor Arsen - his brothers had any contact with each other.
"I marry you ananda Zico Wiratama bin Taufiq Wiratama with Sally Zevanya bint Ismail Fernaldi with a gold jewelry dowry of 50 grams paid in cash" Arsen said.
Zico took a breath, then exhaled. "I accept the marriage of Sally Zevanya bint Ismail Fernaldi with the dowry paid in cash." Zico said kabul with a single breath.
"How are the witnesses?"
"Well," exclaimed Wira and Maya compact followed by others.
Sally kissed the back of Zico's hand for the first time, then Zico kissed Sally's forehead. Her heart trembled as soon as Zico kissed her, as this was the first time Sally came into contact with the opposite sex. That's why he was still nervous and surprised.
After that they also read a prayer led by the ruler, then the two continued to put a ring on the finger of their respective partners. They also signed the marriage documents.
The event continued with the symbolic handing over of the dowry to the bride. The elder gave some marriage advice, before resuming the prayer to close the entire procession.
***
The wedding ceremony went pretty smoothly, Sally was grateful there were no obstacles to her marriage. Currently both are sitting enjoying the reception held after the event.
Sally watched the guests who came, she searched for the whereabouts of Zico's parents. Because after the accident, he did not find Zico's parents anymore. Either go where Zico's parents are, but he hopes that Zico's parents haven't left yet.
Zico, who was also watching the guests, turned his eyes to Sally. "Woi's weird, y'all looking at what?" zico whispered as he looked at Sally who was looking for someone.
Sally snorted annoyedly hearing that. Obviously he had a name, but Zico always called him a strange name. "My name is Sally, not weird! It was called ijab kabul aja use the name Sally, not a strange name," interrupted Sally upset.
Just a few minutes into Zico's wife, she's been made to go up in blood by Zico's behavior. "OK, whatever! It's hard to talk to a new headman, mah" Sally sneered.
Zico was just about to reply to Sally, but stopped when he remembered something. "So my parents suddenly came to your job, huh?" ask Zico.
Sally shook her head, she stared in any direction. He could not have said if he had persuaded the Hero, if Zico knew he could be thought to care about Zico. "Aren't you that important until I have to do it?" alibi Sally threw out her hand.
"Masa? I know very well that I have the hardest time making a decision, he will not be easy to change. It must be lo, right? Oh, I did it." Zico still did not believe Sally's words.
Sally exhaled a long breath trying to calm down. "No-no" Not finished the sentence, suddenly someone cut it.
"Zico," cut off the middle-aged man who was now in front of Sally and Zico.
When looking towards the source of the sound, Sally and Zico reflexively stood up. Sally also greeted both of Zico's parents, as well as Zico.
"Papa will forgive you, but on one condition." The hero turned his eyes to Sally.
"Condition? What conditions, Pah?" asked Zico who was confused when he saw his Papa suddenly came and spoke if he would forgive him.
"You have to take care of Sally as best you can, you have to be a good husband for Sally. Now that you're married, it's no longer a young man who's free to roam around here and there. Papa will give you freedom with your current job, but you should also be able to make time for Sally." The hero stared intently at Zico, as if if Zico had not listened to him, then the Hero would have been very angry at him.
Zico nodded slowly, though still confused by the sudden change of Hero. "Yes, Pah!" reply Zico.
Maya smiles as her family reunites, clasping Sally's hand gently. "Sally, congratulations. May your marriage sakinah mawaddah warahmah. If Zico hurts you, say to Mama. Later let Mama shake her head," said Maya while laughing.
Sally laughed when she heard it. "Sure, Ma. Thank you, Mom, Papah wants to come here. I squinted, "Sally smiled softly.
Maya rubs pat her daughter-in-law's shoulder slowly. "It is precisely Mama who is grateful, because you ... Papah so want to apologize Zico. All this time Mama has tried to persuade, but Papa Zico is always averse. As for you, only once can my husband change his mind. Thank you, thanks to you the Mama's family is back together." Maya smiled sincerely at Sally.
Zico frowned hearing his mother's words. "So who persuaded Papah, Sally?" ask Zico to make sure.
Sally clutched the tip of her headscarf tightly, why would Zico's parents have to carry her name about this. Done already, he could not dodge anymore.
"Sally is sincere to help you, Papa at that time thought that he was told you, but it turns out that he was of his own volition. Because of his sincerity, Papa wants to forgive you, so Papa asks you not to be disappointed Sally. He's a good boy, Papa can see that." The hero spoke up.
Zico looked at the face of Sally who was next to him. He did not expect that the woman would help him to this extent, even though he had used Sally.
Sally, who was looked at seriously by Zico, turned her face away. He didn't want to be considered concerned about the man.
"Oh, yes. Zico, Mama and Papa go home first. You suddenly Papa dapet emergency call for nanganin patient, gapapa right?" Maya actually did not feel good because she had to go home quickly at her son's wedding.
Zico nodded no objection, he knew very well his Papa's work which required him to be ready at any time whenever there was a sudden call. "Yes gapapa, really! I understand," Zico smiled faintly.
Maya and Wira decide to return to Zico and Sally early. "Wait sometime to play at home yes, Mama will prepare a good meal for you."
Sally and Zico nodded at the same time. "Sure, Ma. I'll be there sometime, Sally." Zico gripped while embracing Sally.
Sally only felt annoyed to see Zico embracing her.
"Yes, Mama wait." Maya and Wira then return to say goodbye before finally leaving in front of Sally and Zico.
Zico who was still embracing Sally, turned to the side without letting go of her embrace. "Thank you, yeah." Zico smiled sincerely at Sally.
Sally who was just the first time saw Zico smiling sincerely at her, was a little nervous. "Tell me about your Papa? I'm not saying it's not for you. Yes, because I am the same as your parents, especially your mother who really wants to see her family get along. So don't be geer," replied Sally.
Instead of being upset, Zico chuckles at hearing it. "Who said you did it for me who? I didn't say that, it was mah elo himself who said."
Sally let go of Zico's embrace in annoyance, she sat down with a slight restraint of embarrassment before Zico.
Zico sat down next to Sally, still looking at Sally. "Whatever the reason I still thank you, I still do not expect to be able to improve my parents. I can even go home and offer my own advice. If it wasn't for you, maybe until now things wouldn't have changed."
Sally was filled to hear Zico's heartfelt words. It turns out that in addition to Zico's annoying nature, the man can be gentle as well in speaking. He who had been facing the other direction, turned his eyes to Zico who was busy with his cellphone now.
Sally smiled faintly at him, in her heart she was happy. Because Zico can re-unite with his parents, he knows if all this time Zico also needs his parents figure as his encouragement. Finally it will be back Zico get, see that alone is enough to make him happy.
