BIRDS IN CAGES
#Episode 19's
..."The first night was beautiful, he said: What about THE WOUND?"...
The moon seemed to be gently beaming aloof with no one to disturb the throne. The remnants of last night's party are still ringing with crowds wandering around every corner of the ears of the neighbors. That's the tradition of marriage in my village though, it has finished the wedding but, still the party is held 3 days 3 nights.
As you might expect, everyone is proud to celebrate a happy wedding day, for the whole family.
Funny thing is in a bride's room, there is a little bit of wrath that gossip, about things that should not be discussed on the first night. Ayman said while looking at the window.....
"Look out there is your new Abah" he poked while revealing a few curtains
"It's our first night don't piss me off" my cynical while cleaning makeup
"But it's true that he's a new Abah, look at your family, accept him with joy even, the embah I admire presents him with a spacious chest while laughing together" he said meredek
"It's the first night and I don't want to talk about it. Just focus on our family" I replied
"Our family? then.." The lyrics are full of meaning.
I turned to know the meaning I blushed embarrassed then, casually he approached and happened sunnah in the household. I don't want to tell a story, because it hurts to not be able to walk normally in 7 days, more even, almost 1 month I'm still not used to it.
...****...
What do you think?
Am I just feeling?
Or maybe everything that is thought to be true?
I kept feeling restless, agitated, angry, even happy at one time. My mind was mixed to the point of not knowing what to do in one night.
My world is not because it does not seem to allow a smile to dwell in daydreams. Then I shut up and stared at the black glass that reflected the moonlight 🌙 we were silent.
The first night, the second night, the third night is filled with the bawling anger of the groom. I don't know which one's wrong even I know what to feel.
All were painful even the dangdut drums looked sad in the ears. Tears poured down inside my bathroom, crying while letting clean water wash over my entire body. I was loud until the tap was swift until no longer heard a sound in the bathroom then, I wiped my tears and tested my big smile.
When the door opened I was fine as if I was okay I was back to joking, laughing, and also running the Sunnah household.
In my heart I said "I'M FINE" the magic mantra I kept reading in my heart and prayer. All the pain was felt even to tell in detail in today's story I couldn't, it felt, I wanted to cry over all the feelings that were afflicted and scream what was my fault? Why is life like this. Don't I deserve to be happy?
Banana trees waving in the bright night accompanied by dangdut songs that intertwine in the darkness of a silent night and a little smile from the man telling the request that must be carried out. So the story in the story of the moment.
