239. You're Happy...

Rex and Shezi's wedding was held on the appointed day.

The marriage contract is carried out first, which is noon after Friday prayers. Rex arrived first at the building where the event was held with the group. At that time Rex had also been wearing Koko's suit and white trousers with white embroidery on the tip of his sleeve and around his collar.

Rex looked nervous and it made Gama laugh.

" Why Rex, tense up...?" ask Gama.

" Yes,." said Rex while rubbing his face.

" Not to be tense. Also, the future wife of Lo had come" said Gama while pointing to the bride's entourage that entered the hall from the main door.

Rex's face sparkled when he saw the appearance of Shezi who was wearing a white kebaya suit and the batik array. Natural makeup and a bun decorated with jasmine flowers on her head make Shezi look beautiful and graceful. This appearance is much different from Shezi's daily life which is a little indifferent.

After sitting down and ensuring the completeness of the wedding documents, the Kabul ijab process was carried out.

" Ananda Rex Aldan bin Ramon, I marry you and trust you with Ananda Shezi Aleeya bint Siswana who is the judge of Me, with a dowry a set of gold jewelry and savings of fifty million rupiah paid in cash," said the pengulu.

" I accept the marriage and marriage of Shezi Aleeya bint Siswana with the dowry paid in cash...!" sahut Rex lantang's.

" right...! ahhhhh...!" shouted the witnesses and some invited guests no less loudly.

" Thank God...!" sahut penghulu and both brides together.

Prayer also echoed in the room. Shezi seemed to shed tears when she realized her status was now the wife of a man named Rex Aldan who was an officer-ranked soldier.

When the embedding of the ring on her finger Shezi seemed powerless to hold back the tears. Lanni hugged her to calm her daughter-in-law. While Rex can only look compassionately at Shezi who is crying in her mother's arms.

" Don't cry anymore, dear. It's your happy day" whispered Lanni with teary eyes.

" I remember Dad and Mama, Mom." Shezi said in her tears.

" They must be happy to see you happy. Now I'm asking, you're happy not to be Rex's wife...?" asked Lanni while looking at Shezi's pretty face.

" Yes Ma'am.," Shezi said steadily to make Lanni smile.

" Now Mom's backin you're the same Rex. Because he has the right to hug and make you happy, '" whispered Lanni as she handed Shezi to Rex who immediately greeted him with a warm hug and a kiss of affection.

" Thank you, ma'am" said Rex Lirih, a Lanni.

The atmosphere that had been dyed with novelty changed when entering the reception.

Rex and Shezi's wedding reception was held grandly in the same building in the afternoon. The sword ceremony is one of the events that are anticipated because it has its own charm for all invited guests.

Rex and Shezi have changed their costumes. Rex wears a PDL uniform complete with his attributes, while Shezi appears to wear a moss-green kebaya and golden batik array. Red roses plus jasmine strands adorn the bun on Shezi's head make her look fresh. Shezi did not look as beautiful as a face even though some time ago he did not stop crying.

" Are you happy Zi...?" rex asked when they were on the stage.

" Yes, thank you Captain." Shezi said with a sweet smile.

" What does that mean that you accept I'm totally Zi...?" ask Rex.

" Why are you so Captain ?. Is my willingness to marry you not enough to answer...?" shezi asked gusar.

" Mmm.., I just feel like you're still keeping your distance from me Zi..," Rex said.

" How shall I go, Captain...?" shezi didn't understand.

" Prove it..," said Rex.

" Prove what ?. Jump into your arms while kissing you passionately, do you mean ?. Don't dream, I won't do that...!" shezi ketus.

Shezi's words made Rex laugh so hard that everyone stared at them. Shezi's face blushed as Rex kissed his lips quickly in front of everyone.

Cheers were heard in the room when everyone saw what Rex was doing. They even asked Rex to repeat the action earlier.

" Kiss. Again...!" everyone said while clapping.

" But that's because of you too.." Shezi said.

" yes. So how, you may." pinta Rex while pulling Shezi's waist closer.

Shezi nodded with a timid smile because it was impossible to refuse the strange request of the invited guests.

Rex landed a short kiss on the wife's lips because he believed Shezi was uncomfortable with the action.

Applause was back to discuss and make Shezi embarrassed not dumbass. Even Shezi hid her face in Rex's arms a moment later. Rex seemed to laugh happily while hugging Shezi tightly because he managed to prank his beautiful wife.

Among the applause and cheers of the invited guests, there were a pair of eyes that stared sadly at Rex and Shezi. He was a doctor of the Scriptures, who came alone to offer prayers and congratulations.

But when watching Rex's happiness on the stage, the guarantee made Aksara undo his intentions. Slowly Aksara stepped back and left the building without looking back.

" It turns out you're happy Rex. You're really happy without me !. It's my fault for not appreciating and maintaining our love." murmured Aksara in tears.

Aksara also drove his car at high speed. Because Aksara was driving the car crying, her vision blurred and she lost her balance. Finally, the car driven by Aksara was in an accident and Aksara was rushed to the Hospital in a coma.

In a green and gold room. Rex seemed to be sitting leaning against the back of the bed while observing the beautiful woman who was pacing before him. The woman is Shezi who has now legally become his wife.

" You're not tired of pacing back and forth Zi.." Rex finally rebuked.

" No, I'm grinding my feet again. A day standing welcoming guests on the guarantee was quite tiring, Captain..," said Shezi without looking at her husband.

" I believe it. But if I ask you to sit down now do you want to obey Zi...?" ask Rex.

" Ok, I'm sitting." Shezi said, sitting on a chair near the dresser.

Rex seemed to let out a long sigh while shaking his head.

" But I want you to sit here Zi..," Rex said as he patted the spot beside him.

" You want me to sit there, not-don't you..," Shezi's speech was interrupted because Rex cut fast.

" I'm not asking for my rights now. I just want us to rest and sleep. We are both tired and need rest in order to get up early in the morning in a fresh condition," said Rex while staring fixed Shezi.

" You're serious...?" ask Shezi.

" yes. Don't tell me you'd rather sleep on the floor than sleep with Me because you're afraid of Me Ya Zi." Rex said.

" I'm not afraid,." Shezi said quickly.

" If that's true, sit here now" Rex said, patting the bed next to him.

Shezi smiled then stepped onto the bed. Shezi slowly pulled the blanket and sat back down as Rex did.

Seeing his wife's attitude makes Rex anxious then pulls Shezi into his arms and showers him with a kiss until Shezi is overwhelmed.

" Please Captain !. You said you wouldn't ask for your right now" Shezi said, trying to escape Rex's embrace.

" But I didn't say that I wouldn't kiss you Zi." Rex said with a satisfied smile.

Shezi seemed to snort angrily and then lay back to Rex who was hugging him tightly.

" Thank you, good night, my wife." whispered Rex as she kissed Shezi's head fondly.

Shezi did not answer because he was busy neutralizing his fast-paced heart thump. But Shezi gently rubbed Rex's arm around her stomach in response to make Rex smile again happily.

A moment later Rex and Shezi fell asleep in a position to hug each other.

But a few hours later Rex and Shezi both woke up to hear a humming sound that echoed gently in their room.
