Alena [My girlfriend was taken by my mother]

40

Finally, the awaited day arrived. Yes, today is my wedding day. Since two days ago, I have been busy with people who said they would help me stay relaxed. Starting from facial treatments, massages, scrubs, and many more treatments that I received. Who else if not my future father-in-law. He sent people to my house without consent.

True, it was physically I became more relaxed, but I do not deny my mind still continues to wander buana. Today, I'm going to let go of my free time. I will be the wife of people and become a new part of the Hermansyah family. I still can't believe everything can happen this fast.

"Oahhh!!! Just take a look! The bride is beautiful" said Melia, a make-up artist responsible for putting on makeup. I smiled happily, but I was also a little embarrassed. The face I saw in the mirror was like I wasn't.

"Hurry up and get her clothes changed! I can't wait to see Lena even more beautiful," said brother Sen eagerly.

He pulled me into the dressing room, where I was assisted by Kak Sen's assistant. The reason it wasn't Kak Sen who helped me was of course because he was a man. Slowly the assistant brother put on the kebaya for the commitment to me.

"It's really amazing!" praise Kak Sen when I just came out of the dressing room. "Lo is so beautiful, Alena! Geez! Dwi's lucky to have a wife as beautiful as you."

I smiled shyly. If it is not covered in make-up, it will certainly look if my face is now flushed like boiled shrimp. I saw my appearance from the mirror. I am also fascinated. Is that really me? So beautiful and graceful, unlike Alena I've seen all this time. Holy hooch! Who have I seen all this time? The make-up artist is too good.

"Excuse me, is the bride finished?" ask Aunt Meira who suddenly entered the room. Instantly, he was also amazed to see me. "It's true Alena, right?" tanyanya could not believe it.

"I-yes, Auntie," I replied embarrassedly.

"You're beautiful, son," praised Aunt Meira. I feel ashamed to be praised by my own future in-laws.

"It's because Alena rarely wears make-up, so wear make-up we are all immediately fascinated" said Kak Sen.

"Truly! You have to be careful, brother! After marriage, if you want to wear make-up, do not be too beautiful! Pity your husband later if many come near you," added Kak Melia.

"Hehe, yes, brother," I replied embarrassedly.

"It's ready, right? Yuk out!" bring Aunt Meira.

I felt a little strange, Aunt Meira was so excited to even look for me in the dressing room. Where is mama? Shouldn't I be with Mama, not my future father-in-law?

When he just came out of the room, Mama and Om Andre were also his wife. Om Andre greeted me with a bright smile, as did his wife. Unlike Mama, despite smiling I can see the implied sadness there.

"Lena is so beautiful! Isn't that right, Pa?" puji Aunt Esti asked her husband for approval.

"Yes you are very beautiful, Lena," said Om Andre.

"It's very similar to Maya's young mother," added Aunt Esti.

"Ah you're right, dear. Remember the wedding day of the late Mas Hendra and Mbak Maya. Maya is also as beautiful as Lena," added Om Andre again.

"Yes, my son is very similar to me" said Mama. Seemed he was holding back his tears, maybe he did not want his make-up to wear off.

"Mama also now looks very beautiful," I said.

Mama hugged me for a while, I felt the moment right here. I don't know what made Mama sad this time. Maybe because the late Papa couldn't come and get me married, or maybe because I'll leave the house soon. I don't know, I can't ask that now.

"Get out, it's time!" bring Om Andre.

Once out of the room, inside the hall were already many guests present. Mas Dwi was standing gallantly wearing a black suit with a red rose on his left chest. He stood behind a table to the left of the room, where we would tie the wedding vows. With a very charming smile he greeted me. God, is he really my future husband?

"Can we start?" ask Andre who will marry us both. We also nodded compactly.

Aunt Meira put on a white scarf for both of us. Making sure everything is ready, Om Andre began to recite the sentence that says my name, the late Papa and the dowry that Mas Dwi gave. Hearing the name Papa called, my tears flowed. Finally Papa's desire to see his daughter married is now accomplished. I know, Papa must be happy to see me right now from heaven there.

'Thank you for your blessing, Pa, ' my inner self.

Inhaling for a moment, then firmly and smoothly Mas Dwi recited the sentence stating that he accepted me - Alena Citra Mahendra- as his wife. My smile expands. My tears broke even more as the witnesses said one of the most awaited words, the word 'sah'.

Finally, this moment also I officially became the wife of Alfarez Dwi Hermansyah, the second child of the Hermansyah family. My hands trembled as we exchanged rings. A feeling of pleasure and joy enveloped both of us. Her soft lips touched my forehead. I really hope he is my first and last husband, and vice versa. I will not forget this day until any time.

Continue to the next event, the sungkeman session. Just now that I was kneeling in front of Mama, my tears were already flowing.

"Ma, thank you for everything you've given Lena. Thank you for giving birth and taking care of Lena until this second." I paused for a moment. I wiped my tears and regained my breath.

"Thank you for everything, Ma. Sorry, Lena can't be a good enough kid for Mama yet, sorry Lena hasn't been able to repay all of Mama's kindness."

"Today, Lena beg your blessings. Pray for the best for Lena's household, Ma!" my door ended my words. I'm not good at stringing words, that's all I can say. All the words I had prepared before were all spoiled.

Mama rubbed my back gently. He heard her crying. May her tears be happy tears.

"Lena, son. It is time to form a new family. I am grateful to be able to accompany you until now. Forgive your lack of education and raising you. May your family always be happy and given good children and grandchildren like you. Mama's prayer is always with you, Alena," said Mama in a trembling voice. Then he kissed both my cheeks and my forehead.

"Be a good wife and mother, son!" added Mama again. I'm nodding.

After that I went to my uncle. He gave me good messages too. Then switch again to my mother-in-law. His eyes were already glazed.

"Mama, thank you for giving birth and raising Mas Dwi. Thank you for properly educating the man who is now my husband. Restui both of us and allow Lena to continue with Mama's duties in taking care of and accompanying Mas Dwi's life every day of our lifetime! Lena will try her best for your child" I told Mama Meira.

"Alena, my daughter-in-law. Mama bless you two, son. Be a good wife to my son, love him with all your heart! Welcome to our family, my son. May you be blessed with cute and healthy children, a decent life and love each other until death separates you both" said Mama Meira. Although it still feels stiff, but I have to get used to calling him 'mama'.

Mama Meira kissed my forehead then hugged and wiped my tears. Her smile is so warm. Mas Dwi is done with Om Andre, it's time I switched to Papa Hermansyah. I can't say many words.

"Take me as your Papa! Take good care of my son! Do not hesitate to rebuke him if he is guilty! Always happy, Alena!" papa Hermansyah. Short and very meaningful. My crying broke again. I felt like Papa was here.

Then I went into the dressing room to change into a dress and rest. My energy was drained a lot, a haru feeling that had never been imagined before. Hopefully, the Mas Dwi family can accept me well, not just imaging.

"How are you feeling?" ask Mas Dwi when we were just sitting at the aisle.

Kebayaku has changed into a beautiful and elegant white dress, Mas Dwi has also changed his suit with a white one. This time he was also very handsome.

"It's very happy, Mom," I answered honestly. He developed that beautiful smile again.

"Thank you for being my wife" she said, kissing the back of my hand. Even though he is now my husband, still I am ashamed of being treated like this in public.

"Yes, Mas. Thank you for accepting me as your wife" I replied, smiling at her. Today is the happiest day of my life.
