Between Me and My Husband

Sah

Almost everyone stared at me. I lyrics my family, from the look on their faces I can make sure that they are surprised at the true purpose of aunt Ratna and family come to the house. Didn't expect that I'd be pinned down by a famous family in our village. The prickly shoes began to be heard from outside, the residents whispered to each other whatever they were gossiping about. Maybe how lucky I am, can be betrothed by a rich and famous family in the village. I had a glance at Dipta mas, the man just put on a flat face, even seemed not interested in the answer I would give on his proposal.

"Sir.kalo not sure, we can ask for time. No need to answer now." My mother's whisper was shriveled near my ear. I took a deep breath, I grabbed my mother's hand to just strengthen myself through her warm hands.

"Ehemm.." I cleared my throat, the atmosphere immediately returned to silence.

"I'll answer it now." Mom's hand is getting tighter in my hand.

"Bismil was bornohman nirohim.I received a proposal from mas Dipta." Reply steady. Mother looked at me, as well as aunts and uncles by implying their disbelief. But from aunt Ratna's family I heard them say hamdalah.

The next event was the determination of our wedding day. Mother insisted that she wanted to discuss it first with the family, but the aunt Ratna urged her to be called a procession ijab qobulnya soon. Long time they defend each other's opinions 2, finally in the pause because it has entered the time of dzuhur. Give time to worship first, and continue with lunch. Lucky to have an aunt who has catering services so an impromptu event was no problem.

"Sir, how is this? Have you been steady? What about your heart? Because it's so impromptu, I don't have time to discuss this with you." Said his mother in between 2 times of rest. I feel sorry for my mother, she should be able to rest soon but this discussion is not finished either.

"Mother.mom knows right that aunt Ratna and her family are good people2? They are even famous in our village as generous and noble-hearted people. This is a good path for our family, Kania will try to accept this as Nia's way of life. So Nia hoped, I could trust them." My words tried to persuade mother, easily2 an mother soon melt and accept the opinion of aunt Ratna's family. And again hopefully this discussion does not drag on so that the mother immediately rest.

At around 2 pm, we gathered again to continue the discussion of the wedding day. I see here that mother is calmer and does not see the look of her worries. And when the conversation started to reopen, I spoke first.

"Pak Dhani Rahmat our family said many thanks for his good intentions, before we apologize for kata2 and our behavior, especially me earlier. After this we will accept the proposal from Mr. Dhani's family, hoping that this is a good way for 2 families who want to celebrate." Mum said to end the debate that afternoon.

The event was finally running back, the discussion about the wedding day was agreed. That's 2 more days, because aunt Ratna does not want to delay too long again. Before I confirmed the request of aunt Ratna's family, I looked at me for a moment. As if seeking my approval, I nodded my head in agreement. And mom finally accepted with legowo.

Given the health of the mother who has not recovered, the two families agreed to conduct a marriage contract only at the local KUA. And hope the mother soon recovers as usual so that later can be held a grand reception2an.

The discussion finally ended, after the friendly session was completed the family entourage aunt Ratna also left home. The day was long and exhausting. Maybe for mothers who in fact physical is not yet perfectly healthy. So as night fell, the mother immediately fell asleep without asking much questions.

The next day, I was busy with the requirements that must be fulfilled before the marriage contract. I accompanied aunt Ratna who morning2 has invited me to take care of some introductory letters from the local RT/RW, the village, and finally to KUA. Everything went fast and smoothly without any obstacles. The effect on the friends of famous people in the village.

By dawn I was awakened by a phone call from my aunt who told me to immediately and clean2 myself. The wedding is still at 9. I also think even though the eyes are still so sticky do not want to open.

After the dawn prayer, aunty was at home with 2 fairies who would dress me up. They came with 2 suitcases, probably their combat equipment. Surprisingly, only 1 person was dressed but the tools up to 2 suitcases.

When everything was ready, I was pounding waiting for an invitation car that would take me with my mother to the place where she held the agreement that is KUA. I glanced in the mirror a few times to convince myself that everything was okay. I was wearing a white kebaya bone that dangled down just a foot, so there was no need to hold it underneath when I walked. Hair order does not need to be in a bun, just tied up, braided the edges and given flower-shaped hairpin accessories.

So when the car arrives, we immediately slide towards KUA. Aunty and uncle in his own car, there also went with my sister Tiara.

Arriving at KUA, I saw that all of Aunt Ratna's family was complete. There's aunt Ratna herself, om Dhani, and Dino. Wait..Isn't there supposed to be Delia? Then where is he? I glanced at the 2 people present, but I did not see the person who should be named Delia. Could he not be present? At her own sister's wedding she missed it? What a puzzle... But my curiosity was immediately vanished when I saw a figure standing in the seat of the contract with the father of the penghulu.

Mas Dipta, he's so handsome today, in a suit of color matching the kebaya I'm wearing he's looking at me. Looking at me who was walking slowly towards him. Geez..tiba2 me like a misbehavior, I looked down unable to return his gaze. Though a few times I hope that Dipta mas look at me, or just glance but now he is even looking at me. And what am I doing, looking down?

I was then sat next to the Dipta mas, the more cold sweat I was. A series of events were immediately started until finally the pronunciation of ijab qobul from pak pengpuru was heard. Mas Dipta, with one breath answered the words of the father of penghulu steadily.

"I received the marriage and marriage of Kania Paramitha bint Muji Wibowo the deceased with the dowry. Cash."

"Are the witnesses?"

"Well.huh..."

"Alhamdulillah.."

I finally became a married woman. And Dipta officially became my husband. As per pak pengulu's instructions, I must kiss the back of my husband's hand. So I took the hand of the Creator and kissed him reverence. Similarly, the Dipta mas must kiss my forehead. I was so groggy when we faced each other, and slowly the Dipta dyed my forehead for a while. It was then that my entire body felt trembling, that a strange sigh was taking hold of my heart. I dared to look at the Dipta mas, but how disappointed I was. Binar2 is happy that only I feel it myself. Mas Dipta just smiled impressed at forced and after that he never once looked at me.
