"I accept the marriage of Gabriella Tamara Binti Almarhum Prasetyo with a dowry of ten grams of gold paid in cash" Kairi said in a loud voice.

"How's witness? Right?"

"Well!" answer them all together.

"Alhamdulillah, now let's say puja, and praise our gratitude to God swt, because it has given smoothness to this marriage" said pak penghulu. Then he led the prayer, and the prayer, grateful for the union of two people in a halal bond. The sacred bond that God desires.

After reading the prayer, and the prayer. Ella shook Kairi's hand, and then kissed her. Kairi smiled, then she lowered her head and kissed Ella on the forehead.

Ella closed her eyes as Kairi kissed her forehead, indeed this was not the first time. But after their status changed to husband and wife, the kiss felt very much different. It was as if something was watering his heart, which made him feel at ease, and calm.

"It's like this to have a husband. O Allah thank you, for sending a man as good as Kairi to be my priest." Ella in her heart.

Then Kairi opened the jewelry box located on the table. He took her ring, and pinned it on Ella's finger. The ring that had been circular there, but this morning was released, and returned to him.

Then Kairi took the gold bracelet that became her wedding dowry. Kairi grabbed Ella's left hand, and then she put her bracelet on there. Ella smiled as she saw the bracelet already curled sweetly in her left hand.

"Never be released" Kairi said with a smile.

"No will." replied Ella while returning Kairi's smile.

Then they moved from their seats. Ella approached her mother, and then hugged her tightly. The feeling of haru, and happy makes Ella can no longer stem her tears.

"You're an adult, son, you're a wife now. Pray to your husband, and never hurt him. Your reward field is now on him son." said Bu Halimah while rubbing his son's back.

Ms. Halimah also seemed to shed tears, although she was happy to see her son married, and took a new page. But deep in her heart, Ms. Halimah also felt sad, and lost. Her daughter belongs to the people, she has no rights, no power over Ella.

"Yes ma'am, I'll serve him. Without reducing my sense of service to Mom. Pray that my household will always be given ease, ma'am" Ella said, tightening her arms.

"Yes son, I will always pray for the best for you" replied Ms. Halimah.

After hugging for a long time, Ella now let go of her mother's embrace. Then he approached Gilang, and hugged him. His older brother was his guardian, who became the representative of his late father.

"Mas Gilang." said Ella in tears. In Gilang's arms, Ella remembers her father. If only his father was still there, he would be very happy to see him married.

"Don't cry, it's El's happy day" Gilang said as he rubbed his sister's back.

"Dad Mas." said Ella slowly.

"Dad must be happy to see you married. But I'd be sad if I saw you crying like this. Remove your tears, and smile. You can't cry on your wedding day." said Gilang as he let go of his embrace. Then she wiped Ella's tears with both hands.

"Smile!" silang.

"Congratulations El, you are now a wife" Garnis said, hugging Ella.

"I'm happy Ma'am, but I also want to cry" Ella said in her brother's arms.

"You're all there is" said Garnis as he let go of his embrace.

At the same time, Kairi was hugging Miss Mirna very tightly. Ms. Mirna seemed to cry while rubbing Kairi's hair.

"I'm sorry for your attitude, son. Mama never accompanied you, until you were this mature. Mama never taught you anything, but you grew up to be this kind of man. Now that you are married, take good care of your wife. He was very dear to his family, and now he has given his life to you. So you must love him, and make him happy. Never hurt her" said Mirna.

"Don't cry, Mama is innocent. Smile Ma, this is my happy day, so Mama should be happy too. I will always love my wife Ma, I will always make her happy, and I will never hurt her" Kairi said, letting go of her arms.

Then he hugged his father.

"What awe you are, you are a brave man. Take good care of your wife, love her, and never make a mistake like Papa. Papa believes you'll be more than Papa." said Mr. Louis.

"I understand Pa, I promise, I will never let anyone down" Kairi replied as she let go of her embrace.

Then she hugged Andra, hugging her tightly. Because he knew, behind his smile, his sister must have had a bit of a wound to her marriage.

"Bless him, I'm sure you can Kai. I believe you." whispered Andra right in Kairi's ear.

"I won't tarnish your trust. Thank you Andra." Kairi replied with a whisper.

Then he approached Bu Halimah, a middle-aged woman who was now his mother-in-law. Kairi hugged him tightly.

"Thank you for choosing Ella, please take care of her. Lead her down the right path, and if she makes a mistake please remind her. Now that you're entitled to her, I can only tell you to always take care of her. I believe you're the most appropriate man for Ella" Ms. Halimah said as she let go of her embrace.

"I promise I will always look after her Mom, I will make her happy, and I will never hurt her. Thank you ma'am, for allowing me to have it." said Kairi with a smile.

"Yes son, because I believe you will not disappoint me" said Ms. Halimah.

"Will not be Ma'am." Kairi replied firmly.

Ella approached Mirna, smiling and hugging her mother-in-law.

"Finally Mama's dream materialized baby, from the first Mama really wanted you to be my daughter-in-law. And today you made your dream come true, Mama is really happy now" Ms Mirna said, hugging Ella tightly.

Ella was a little nervous to hear Miss Mirna say the word 'mama'

Because all this time he always called her aunty. But now that he is married to Kairi, it is impossible to call Miss Mirna aunty.

"I'm also very happy Ma." replied Ella quietly.

He was very happy, married to someone he loved very much, had in-laws who liked him very much. Ahh really is the most beautiful gift of her life.

Then Ella let go of his embrace, and then she greeted Mr. Louis, the middle-aged man who is now his father-in-law.

"Thank you son, you've accepted Kairi. His life is happy again, because of your presence. Kairi is so lucky to have a wife like you" Mr. Louis said, staring at Ella.

"I'm not that good Pa. It is precisely I who feel more fortunate, can have a husband as good as Kairi." replied Ella while looking down.

As Ella was about to return to her seat, her eyes looked at Andra who was sitting next to Kairi. Andra seemed to smile at him, but Ella knew, deep inside Andra must have been hurt.

"Congratulations El, welcome to the new page, and welcome to my family. Now you're legitimately my sister-in-law. I'm so happy for your marriage" Andra said, staring at Ella.

"Thank you Ndra" Ella replied with a smile from Andra.

"I want this show to end soon El, you know how hard it is to stay here. Seeing you marry my sister, my heart feels so sick El. But I don't want to be selfish, this is your choice, I have to appreciate it for your happiness. I was stupid, never seeing your feelings, when you were standing so close to me." Andra looked down.

"I'm sorry Ndra, I know you're hurt, I know this marriage hurts you. But how else, my feelings for you no longer exist at all, now my feelings are only for Kairi. I waited a long time for you, but you never understood me. I'm sorry Andra, although I can't accept your feelings, but you're still my best friend. You are still meritorious in my life." Ella's mind while sitting next to Kairi.

Shortly thereafter, his predecessor resigned to resign. Nadhira, and Vino approach Ella, and Kairi to congratulate them. After that they also left. And not long after, Miss Mirna and the family, as well as Garnis and Ariel, they also agreed to go home.

After the living room came back neat, Ella invited Kairi to enter her room. Actually a little awkward, and embarrassed. But how else, Kairi is now her husband. They might sleep separately.

"It's still a mess of Kai." said Ella when they reached the room.

There were piles of clothes on the chair, clothes that had just dried, and Ella had not had time to fold. Also bed linen, and pillowcases that are already dull. Ella was a little embarrassed, if only Kairi had not married her in this sudden way, surely Ella had already replaced her with a new one.

"It's neat baby, what a mess" Kairi said as she stared at each inch of Ella's room. Everything was neat, just that pile of clothes was a little messy.

Ella ignored Kairi's words. He opened his closet, and looked for new bed linen that he kept there.

"What are you doing, baby?" kairi asked when she saw Ella picking up a new bed sheet from her almaria.

"I'll replace Kai." replied Ella.

Kairi approached Ella, and held her arm.

"Don't be like this baby, you don't need to replace it" Kairi said as she stared fixedly at Ella.

Ella's heart was beating rapidly, their distance was so close. And now that the man is already her husband, what will he do?

"But Kai..."

"Return!" kairi said slowly, but also firmly.

And inevitably, Ella complied. He put the bed sheet back into the closet.

Ella closed her closet again, and when she turned her head, she was very surprised to see Kairi who had taken off her suit, as well as her shirt. Ella's cheeks turned red instantly, when she saw Kairi who was bare-chested in front of her, and now they were alone in the room.

"A...What are you doing Kai?" asked Ella nervously, she turned her face away. He did not dare to look at Kairi.

"I feel hot, baby, but hey why are you turning your eyes away. Are you thinking about something, baby?" kairi Goda.

"Nothing!" ella answered quickly.

Then she removed her headscarf, as well as her hair ties. He remained standing near the closet, he did not dare to approach the bed, because there was Kairi who was lying there.

"Until when are you gonna stand there?" kairi asked as she looked at Ella from behind.

"I'm on the sideline." replied Ella as she reached for the comb on the table.

"You came here by yourself, or need me to carry you" Kairi said.

"What do you mean! Don't carry me, I don't want to!" ella shouted while looking at Kairi.

"Then come here, you haven't fully recovered, you need rest. I'm your husband, you don't have to be afraid of me" Kairi said, staring at Ella.

Ella lowered her head, slowly stepping closer to the bed. Her heart kept beating faster and faster, seeing Kairi lying down while bare-chested made Ella's body become cold hot because of it.

Slowly Ella got on the bed, she sat down beside Kairi who was lying down.

"Come here, I won't do anything, I just want to hug you" Kairi said as she pulled Ella's waist, and carried her into her arms. Ella's heart seemed to slip out of place, as her face clung tightly to Kairi's chest. Ahh what kind of feeling is this, very comfortable, also very pleasant, but why does his body feel hotter.

"I know you're still sick, I won't do it now" Kairi said casually.

What does he mean? What's he gonna do?

"I'm still upset with you Kai" Ella said, switching the conversation.

"Why?"

"That night you suddenly asked for separation. Then you apologize, and ask back. When I accepted you, you just left me. And you planned to marry me, but without telling me. You don't think I'm upset." Ella grumbled as she let go of her embrace. Now they lie down looking at their eyes.

"I meant to give you a surprise, dear." replied Kairi.

"It's a surprise that the others don't matter to Kai, but it's marriage."

"But you like it, don't you, hemm?" goda Kairi rubbed Ella's cheek.

Ella did not answer, she just washed her lips, because Kairi's temptation successfully made her flutter again.

"But I was on the phone with my dear Mama, there was no meeting, but there was an event that was no less important" Kairi said while playing Ella's hair.

"What way?"

"Mama and Papa are married."

"Well!" ella shouted in surprise.

"Mama and Papa decided to refer. Papa used to force Mama too much, and instead of getting love, but instead hated. But now Papa loves Mama with gentleness, not forcing as before, and it turns out that Mama can even accept it. They are legally married, but religiously they are divorced. So it must be ijab qabul again if you want to refer." said Kairi.

"Thank God, I'm glad to hear Kai. Eventually relationships in your family can improve" Ella said with a smile.

"I'm also happy baby, and I'm even more happy because today I can justify you. I'm so happy to be your husband" Kairi said, looking at Ella gently.

"But that time you let me go, sad to know Kai." Ella grumbled.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood your feelings. Seeing Andra slumped, my mind got messed up, baby. But you take it easy, from now on I promise, I will always take care of you. It won't hurt you, let alone let you go. We're going to age together, it's death enough to keep us apart" Kairi said, cupping Ella's cheek.

Kairi draws her face closer, and Ella's heart beats rapidly as Kairi's breath warms up in her face. Kairi's hand grabbed her nape, and pulled her closer, so there was no longer any distance between the two. Ella's hair felt bristling as Kairi's lips began to stick to her lips.

Ella closed her eyes, enjoying the gentle, warm touch of Kairi's lips. He held his hand around Kairi's neck, as the man began to play his lips.

The hour hand on Andra's desk shows at half-five in the afternoon. Andra had just arrived at her house, and now she was sitting on the sofa staring at the clock that kept turning. Not feeling he began to shed tears, his wound back gaping. Andra grabbed a picture on the table, a beautiful, simple girl who was smiling sweetly in her arms.

"You're the first woman that made me really fall in love with El, but I never thought this love turned out to be hurt. You're a wife now, I can't hope for you anymore. I sincerely love you El, I'm willing to get hurt as long as you're always happy. You know El, it's so hard to watch you marry my sister. But I have no other choice, the one you love is that she's not me." Andra said, gently swiping Ella's picture.

"I was a fool for so long, you loved me, but for a second I never realized it. Ella, whether you can or not, I'm erasing these feelings for you. It's all too hard, you've occupied all the space in my heart. I'm afraid that I can't fall in love anymore, because there's no empty space in my heart for other women to occupy" Andra said, rubbing her face.

Then he put the photo back on the table. Andra splashed her body on the sofa. While staring at the sky of the room, he recalled about Ella's wedding a few hours ago.

"You're married El, what are you doing right now" Andra said softly, her gaze blank, and flat
