A Wife's Escape

Wedding (2)

A solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire hall, and in front of everyone right beside the priest stood a bridegroom, Keyran. Then among the guests who came, there was a young man who was a loved one by the bride, namely Ricky.

Then the priest said, "Call the bride here!"

And then came Nisa who was accompanied by her father, Nisa and then lowered her head that had been covered by a veil as if she was hiding her face from everyone. And the unavoidable thing finally happened as well, everyone was immediately shocked after knowing that the bride was Nisa.

But there is one person who when he saw Nisa immediately felt devastated, he was Ricky. Ricky finds it hard to believe that the girl he's been in love with is finally getting married to someone else right in front of him, he's desperate to stop this marriage, but what happens is he can only be quiet. His body was fixated like a cripple, even his chest felt extremely tight. His heart hurt so much he could not speak.

After Nisa arrives and stands next to Keyran, the wedding ceremony begins. The priest then began with a question of affirmation, then he loudly said, "At this holy marriage, today will be united Keyran Kartawijaya with Nisa Sania Siwidharma," the priest again said, "Now as a servant of the Lord, I will ask some questions to the groom and bride."

"Brother Keyran Kartawijaya, do you acknowledge before God that you are willing to accept your sister Nisa Sania Siwidharma, as your only wife and live with her in a holy marriage for life?" ask priest.

"Yes, I'm willing." replied Keyran.

"Does a brother love him as much as a brother loves himself, cares for him, respects and keeps him in a state of distress and pleasure, abundance or lack, ill or healthy and faithful to him for as long as he lives?" ask the priest again.

"Yes" Keyran replied again.

"Last of all, are you willing to keep the sanctity of this marriage as a faithful and God-fearing husband all your life?"

"Yes, I am willing," Keyran replied as he looked into Nisa's eyes.

"Sister Nisa Sania Siwidharma, does the sister acknowledge before God that the sister is willing to accept the brother of Keyran Kartawijaya, as her only husband and live with him in a holy marriage for life?" ask the priest to Nisa.

"I-Yes, I'm willing to." said Nisa in a trembling tone.

"Whether the sister is willing to submit to the husband as submissive to the Lord, nurturing and caring for him, honoring and keeping him in a state of distress and pleasure, abundance or lack, he said, sick or healthy and loyal to her for as long as the sisters live?" ask the priest again.

"Yes, be willing." replied Nisa again.

"Then, is the sister willing to keep the sanctity of this marriage as a faithful and God-fearing wife for the rest of your life?"

"I-Yes." answered Nisa while glancing at Ricky.

After the priest finished asking Keyran and Nisa, then he began to ask everyone present, "To all the attendees who witnessed and listened to these promises, I asked. Do you support and pray for these two people in their married life? If anyone object please speak up, or shut up forever!" the pastor said in a loud voice.

"I beg you." said Nisa softly as she looked at Ricky with a hopeful look.

Ricky... Please talk! You said that whenever you love me, now prove your love to me! Stand up and say you mind! I'm begging...

"...." - ".Ricky looked at Nisa back, but she just kept quiet and stroked her chest.

Nisa.. turns out this is your reason, I would love to shout 'I object!' But, my chest felt tight, I was simply unable to say it! Then, when you were asked a question by the priest you answered everything with the word 'Yes' doesn't that mean you have agreed, but why are you still looking at me like this? Are you playing me...?

"...." - ".Keyran shut up and watched Nisa.

Who is this girl looking in the direction? Why is he shaking like that? But, wait...

Keyran then tried to notice the actual direction Nisa was looking at, after she succeeded she suddenly grinned.

Haha, it turned out so! This girl has a special relationship with someone else, it turns out this is what dad meant...

"Well, if there is none then I will continue! Next is the pronunciation of the promise of faithful husband and wife, please for the two brides to hold hands!" said priest.

Keyran and Nisa then hold hands, because Nisa still does not believe that Ricky chose to be silent, her hands tremble. Keyran who saw it immediately grasped Nisa's hand tighter as if he was beckoning, he intended to warn Nisa to stay focused and not to make the event fall apart.

"Brother Keyran Kartawijaya, now say the wedding vows in earnest. With freedom and without coercion" said the pastor.

Keyran took a deep breath and said, "I, Keyran Kartawijaya, accept thee Nisa Sania Siwidharma, be the only wife in a legitimate marriage, to be owned and maintained, from this day forward, from this day forward, in joy and sorrow, in abundance or lack, in sickness and in health, to be loved and cared for and cherished, until death do us part, before God and the witnesses, this is my faithful promise to you, may God bless our marriage." Keyran said in a loud voice.

"Sister Nisa Sania Siwidharma, now say the wedding vows in earnest. With freedom and without coercion" said the pastor.

"I-I.." said Nisa stammering.

Goddamnit! Why did Ricky choose silence!? I can't do this! Now how do you do...?

"Well.." said Nisa in a resigned tone, then a moment later she took a deep breath and said, "I, Nisa Sania Siwidharma, accept thee Keyran Kartawijaya, to be the only husband in a valid marriage, to be owned and maintained, from this day onward, in joy or sorrow, during abundance or deprivation, in times of sickness and health, in times of sickness and health, to be loved and cared for and cherished, until death do us part, in the presence of God and witnesses, I say my faithful promise to you, may God bless our marriage." Nisa said with a smile, a smile of destruction.

I don't accept it! May God end this cursed marriage...

"Thus, in the name of God, I as the Servant of God declare Keyran Kartawijaya and Nisa Sania Siwidharma official and legitimate as husband and wife" said the pastor in a loud voice.

"Well..." Nisa sighed and subconsciously one of her eyes had shed tears.

Everything was destroyed.There was nothing I could do. until the end it turned out that this cursed marriage was inevitable...

"Brother Keyran, this is sister of Nisa, the woman whom the Lord has given you as a worthy helper. Accept with gratitude and sincerity. For this reason, open her veil and give her a kiss." and the pastor again said, "Sister Nisa, this is Keyran's brother, the man whom God gave you as a husband to whom you became a faithful helper and companion. Accept with gratitude and sincerity. For that give him a sincere kiss."

Keyran then opened Nisa's veil slowly, when Keyran finished opening the veil, he immediately held Nisa's face and wiped the tears on Nisa's cheek. Keyran did it as if he wanted the whole world to know that his wife had married him not out of compulsion. With a sharp look in her eyes, she then kissed Nisa's lips. As for Nisa, she accepted the kiss without the slightest resistance. But, Nisa's eyes are not directed at Keyran but toward Ricky. And at that very instant, everyone immediately gave a lively applause.

Prok... Prok... Prok...

But, in the midst of that applause, there was someone who just looked at Nisa with a look of disappointment, she was Ricky. Ricky's heart was shattered, because someone in love would feel immense happiness, but the moment one party suddenly withdrew his love and even kissed another person right before his eyes, a punch like this would be nothing to hold him back. "Nisa.." she said with a smile, a smile of destruction.

Ricky suddenly stood up and with a broken mood, and he finally decided to leave. Ricky is very disappointed because he assumes that the love he gave all along ended up being wasted, and he also thinks that loving an evil girl like Nisa is useless.

"Nisa, I'm disappointed in you! You are a bad girl! You may have a heart, but you have no heart!" ricky shouted in his heart.

Nisa feels very devastated after seeing Ricky leave, but even so Nisa still holds back all her sadness so that the wedding can go smoothly. After the wedding is over, Keyran invites Nisa to stay at his private villa.

...In the evening that coincides with the first night...

...••••••••••••••••...

Keyran and Nisa who were still wearing bridal clothes finally entered their bridal room. The room was decorated with red roses which were seen as very beautiful, then Keyran slowly led Nisa to sit together on the bed. And for a while they just kept quiet and looked at each other. One of them finally spoke.

"Now what?" nisa asked with an empty eye.

After hearing Nisa speak, Keyran then stood up then he took off his tuxedo and threw it on the bed, then he touched Nisa's head while saying, "You rest, you rest, tonight I'm going out and I'm not coming back until morning." after saying that Keyran went straight away.

Clap.

And before long the sound of the car engine was turned on, and at that time Nisa believed that Keyran had really left. After that Nisa who seemed to have lost her life suddenly stood up, she then walked closer to the dressing table then she just stood still and glazed over.

"Who is this?" asked Nisa with a bitter smile.

Then a while later Nisa touched the surface of the glass and suddenly she laughed. "Haha! Here I am, Nisa Sania, it turns out I am beautiful too when wearing this wedding dress~ Too bad my husband is blind and can not see the beauty I have~" then suddenly the look on Nisa's face turned moody, and at that moment she immediately lost her mind.

"God! Let alone my husband, not even Ricky, the man I've been in love with all this time, he doesn't want me anymore! What am I living for now!? No one cares about me anymore!" after Nisa complained, her body had now become trembling as she was still trying to hold all her emotions.

"Damn it! It's free...!" nisa shouted as if she did not accept.

Praha.....! The sound of broken things.

Unable to hold back her emotions Nisa finally hit the glass in front of her empty-handed, and of course her hand was bleeding. But, it was not enough to get there, Nisa then picked up the glass fragments she had broken. Then he sat on the floor while tightly grasping the glass shards. Then the blood began to pour from his palm.

"Why.....why did all this happen to me!? You said you loved me, but why are you silent!? I have high hopes for you! But why did you dispel that hope!? My life is ruined because of this cursed marriage! I don't accept...! I didn't even die...!" Nisa now started to scream and cry, as if she was letting out all the sadness she had been enduring.

"Vaaaaahhhh....! I hate this world! This is not fair to me! Haaaa....! I hate! Hate it!" Nisa screamed very loudly, and she gradually began to lose control of her thoughts and deeds. Feeling inadmissive, she grew tighter and tighter grasping at the glass shards, and she now started to go crazy.

"Fucking wedding! All my problems come from this! I'm sick of it, sick of seeing this wedding dress!" Nisa started to tear up the wedding dress she was wearing using the glass she was holding, and now the wedding dress was also covered in blood coming out of Nisa's hands.

"Aaaahhhh! My life is completely ruined!" Nisa kept shouting and crying while tearing up her dress, even the pain in her body she no longer cared. His heart was so broken that in his mind began to cross the desire to end his life.

"I don't care if I die! What am I still alive for anyway!? Dead is better!" nisa shouted out in a loud voice.

All night Nisa kept screaming and crying, maybe today was the wedding day, but for her today was the day of destruction.
