A Waiting (Letting Off Single)

Happy Day

A week had passed, this was Alvin and Rili's happy day. That morning at the Musholla ria cafe, a couple who are ready to do the ijab qabul already sat side by side in front of the penghulu and Rizal as the marriage guardian of Rili.

Some relatives and friends also bear witness to their love.

Alvin had never felt this kind of tension. His hands were sweating and it was cold, as if the blood was frozen and did not flow through his palms. Especially when Mr. Penghulu asked Alvin, "Are you ready?"

Alvin nodded his head and steadied his heart. "It." She shook the hand of Rili's Papa.

Actually what Alvin felt was the same as that felt by Papi Rili. For the first time he married his beloved daughter. Tense and haru mixed into one. He recalled the moment when he shook his father-in-law's hand and performed the qabul ijab. It feels like it was just yesterday but now with a different position.

Papi Rizal began to say the words of his hijab to the princess. With a little handshake, Alvin immediately answered the ijaban with a qabul spoken in one breath.

"How are witnesses legitimate?"

"AH!!"

"Alhamdulilbaobbil'alamin...." Doa after ijab qabul. This newly inaugurated couple gave a small smile. One important step has been passed.

After the do'a was over, they signed the marriage book. The thing a legitimate new pair always does is show off their book in front of the camera. A happy smile rose on the faces of the two. After that they exchanged wedding rings. And again, they show it off in front of the camera.

Now is the time for Rili to kiss the back of Alvin's hand with reverence as his respect and obedience to the husband, a sense of hilarity in his chest. Especially when Alvin kissed his forehead affectionately, his eyes were already filled with glass.

Alvin summarizes both cheeks Rili. He looked at her so deeply and lovingly. He brought himself closer. Rili's a little choked up, where Alvin can kiss her in public. But it turns out Alvin just whispered something in Rili's ear. "Congratulations, I've succeeded in becoming Alvin Elvaro's mistress."

One pinch landed on Alvin's waist even the remark managed to make happy tears melt on Rili's cheeks.

"Duh, happy newlyweds. Congratulations, dear." Bu Gita hugged Rili while kissing both of her cheeks. "May you always be happy."

"Yes, Ma."

While Mr. Iwan patted Alvin's shoulder with a proud smile.

"Rili, Mami always wishes you the best." Rili hugged her Mom.

After that some family photos they did include with Rasya and Dea, his younger brother Alvin.

...***...

"I took off the headdress first huh," said Bu Lim while taking off a soft headdress that stuck to his hair.

"Dear to eat first yes, if later even did not have time to eat." Alvin sat down near Rili with a plate of rice.

Rili's cheeks instantly felt blushing. Although Alvin used to call him dear but I don't know this time it feels very different.

"Mas Alvin's eating?" ask Rili back.

"Udah was the same as both of our parents."

Bu Lim smiled hearing this sweet pair of brides. "Yes, you eat first. I want to eat too, I'm hungry."

"Yes, Mrs Lim. Please eat it all."

"Beres, who has a cafe owner's event must have issued a special menu all."

Alvin just smiled. After Bu Lim came out of the room. Alvin starts feeding Rili.

"Mas, I can eat by myself."

Alvin keeps feeding Rili. "First bribe as a husband."

Instantly Rili again smiled embarrassedly while accepting bribes after bribes from Alvin.

After swallowing his food, Rili answered Alvin's question. "I don't know either. I think I just fell in love with Mas Alvin."

"Ciee, fall in love again with Mas Alvin." Alvin continued to feed Rili until the entire contents of the toilet plate. "You want to add more?"

Rili shook his head. "It's full already." Then he took the mineral water in a glass and drank it.

Alvin was constantly smiling looking at that adorable face. "Is he ready for tonight?"

Rili swallowed his saliva many times. He already knew exactly the nature of Alvin, obviously Alvin would not delay his first night. Rili could only smile discordantly.

Alvin grabs Rili's hand and kisses her gently. "Don't tense up. We used to warm up. Almost anyways.."

"Shhhh.." Rili stopped Alvin's words, "Don't talk about it now anyone will hear."

Alvin chuckles again. "If you're singing duet with me, you're ready, right?"

"No, no need to sing. Shameful..."

"Oh yeah, I sing to you. Remember not the time of the farewell at school first."

Rili nodded his head. The most beautiful memories he would never forget in his entire life. As Alvin sings a romantic song for her on stage.

"We repeat the moment with a new status."

...***...

Rili fondly knitted Alvin's arm. They walked to the restaurant in the cafe garden. All the invited guests were fascinated to see the pair of brides that were almost perfect. A very elegant gold-colored dress with not too flashy makeup. Color matching with Alvin suit color. They were like princes and princesses in a day.

Their parents and family also walked behind them. From Alvin's parents, who were already five heads but still looked young. Behind him were Rili's parents, they did not lose favor with the bride and groom. Still very young, even some Alvin family do not think that Rizal and Lisa are Rili's parents.

The host has already voiced out and started the opening event. Some processions are carried out until the sungkem event.

Rasya sat down with an ever-expanding smile watching his sister's happiness. Nearby was Nana who occasionally wiped her tears from feeling moved. He who has been a witness to the love story of his best friend starting from zero.

In another corner, there was a pair of eyes that were precisely paying attention to Rasya. Unknowingly if the man next to her kept paying attention to her. One sigh blew, it felt like he wanted to give up fighting for his heart.

After the formal event was over, it was time for the relatives and invited guests to congratulate them.

Rasya became the first person to rise to the top.

"Congratulations babbled plus spoiled sister." Rasya hugged Rili for a moment. "This is all drama."

"Yes, Rasya's brother is now also playing a drama."

"What dorm?" Still had time Rasya pinched the nose of his clenched sister.

Someone passing behind Rasya must have heard the chat.

The drama?

Beside Rasya, there was Nana who was already impatient.

"Sister, it's been a long time. Move aside first, I also do not want to play drama with Kak Rasya. Nice, paid not hurt yeah."

Alvin and Rili laugh followed by a loud laugh from Adit who had been following Nana.

"Look down, there's still someone who won't hurt you."

Nana glanced at someone who was nearby and was smiling sweetly at her...
