A Wound

Chapter 35's

"I accept the marriage and marriage of Dara Maisyah Hartono bint Hartono with the dowry in cash."

"HUH?"

"WELL! " the witness.

"THANK GOD!" say the whole audience.

Ibra and Ara have officially become a couple. A bond that is so sacred to everyone, but not to both. They just think of this as a way to solve the problems they face.

After performing the kabul ijab, the two exchanged rings. Ara kissed the back of Ibra's hand long enough, according to the direction of a photographer.

Then Ibra was directed to kiss his wife's forehead. Hearing that, Ara raised her gaze to look at Ibra. Ibra also looked at Ara for her approval. Until making their eye beads meet each other, and lock each other up for a while. Before finally Ibra floated a kiss long enough on the forehead of the woman who has now officially become his wife.

The deg!

There was a strange feeling Ara felt when Ibra kissed her. There was a warm sigh that he felt. Even his heart was beating faster than before.

I don't know why his feelings got warm feeling the touch of the man. Though all this time when they were together, there was no feeling whatsoever that she felt in the man who had officially become her husband.

After the installation of rings and so on, now they arrive to the process of sungkeman. First they bowed to the parents and family of Ibra. Made them get so many excursions from the parents who were there.

Ara then walked towards Rissa and her two best friends, as well as Bi Ratih.

"Congratulations, Sister-in-law. Should I call you Ara from now on?" rissa laughed.

"As far as you go." Ara smiled, then hugged her brother-in-law.

"Congratulations. I'm happy for you both." Miya hugged Ara and kissed her best friend's entire face. Feeling anxious to see the look of Ara who is so beautiful with bridal makeup.

Arumi quickly pulled on Miya's body, "be careful, you'll ruin her makeup. Your lipstick will stick to his face."

"No going. Lipstick is expensive!" miya replied widening her smile. And Ara just smiled looking at the two, then switched to hugging Arumi.

"Congratulations! I'm so happy to see you married her. You will have a very warm family. I hope your marriage is forever, and you can have a real relationship" said Arumi Lirih, in Ara's arms.

"Yes, thank you," replied Ara with teary eyes. I don't know why he expected the same thing his best friend said.

Ara then released her embrace, wiping away her tears for a moment before turning to Bi Ratih.

"Bi Trainer!" Ara gave a hug to the woman who had been guarding her all this time. Seeing the middle-aged woman's sad face, made her unable to hold back her tears. For a moment he continued to sob without saying a word. Make anyone who saw it come touched, and no doubt make some people share tears.

"I'm sorry for all of Ara's mistakes, Bi. Ridhoi Ara with this marriage. Pray that Ara can be a good wife" she said.

"Yes, Neng. Aunty always wished Neng Ara the best. Bibi always prayed that Neng Ara would always be surrounded by good people. May God always bestow happiness for Neng Ara and Neng Ara's husband" said bi Ratih stammered.

"Yes, Bi. Thanks."

Bi Ratih released his embrace, then cupped Ara's face, and ended up giving a kiss on the forehead of his master's son.

***

After the wedding ceremony which is only attended by the closest relatives only. In the evening, a lavish party at a famous hotel awaits them.

A party attended by so many invited guests. From relatives to business associates Papa Nahar was present at the party.

"Are you tired?" ibra asked Ara who looked very tired standing for hours.

"Hold it off in a minute?" pinta Ibra, and answered with a small nod by Ara.

Truly, right now Ara was feeling very tired. His feet felt so bad. He wanted to take off the high heels he was wearing today. But as much as possible he always spread his smile to the invited guests who came.

"How did this happen?" said someone who looks angry and does not accept to see Ara and Ibra standing side by side on the lap.

***

Finally, the party is over. One by one the guests had returned home. Likewise with relatives, as well as relatives of Ibra.

Due to her mother's orders, Ibra escorts Ara to one of the rooms in the hotel. They'll stay there last night. His parents and closest relatives will return to their homes.

When entering the room, Ara and Ibra were stunned by the room's decoration.

Bridal rooms are specially prepared for new couples like them.

Ibra scratched her nape, feeling so embarrassed to see the decor of the room. Perhaps, it would be different if they were a real couple. Because the dim atmosphere created from aromatherapy candles in every corner of the room, making the room feel intimate and warm.

Ibra lit the room lamp, and began to blow one by one the aromatherapy candles that were there. Then switch, clean the bed filled with sprinkling rose petals. Means that Ara does not feel uncomfortable with all that, and can rest comfortably.

"Rest. I'll be out for a while, waiting for Mama and the others to come home first" Ibra said. And Ara just nodded giving an answer.

"I'm sorry, I have troubled you today" Ibra said.

"Yes, no problem."

"alright. Then rest" he said, who then moved out of the room.

After Ibra's departure, Ara cleans up, prays Isya and prepares to go to sleep. He was already very tired, and could no longer endure his sleepiness. To make him fall asleep quickly, even though he had just laid his body.

***

After the return of her parents, Ibra returned to her room. Ibra pulled both corners of her lips, when she found Ara who had fallen asleep without removing her hijab.

"Didn't she feel hot, slept with a veil, like that!" Ibra laughed a little.

Slowly Ibra poked her feet, drew closer to the bed, staring at the plain face of his wife.

"Very pretty!" ogre.

His eyes then turned to his wife's ripe lips, and somehow caused his desire to kiss them.

"Damn! so torture gini," he said.

Ibra quickly turned off the room lights and turned on the sleeping lights. At least so that his gaze does not continue to be distracted on his wife's body.

Afterwards, he rushed into the bathroom to clean himself up.
