Droplets of Night Creatures

60. Marrying

The marriage of Aruna and Kautsar was held in a simple and simple place, in a house that had been prepared by Ahmad and Hardini. And it will be in that house that Aruna and Kautsar will stay for a while.

Inside the hotel room Arka, Diana and Aruna were preparing to go to the place of kabul ijab. At that time Aruna looks elegant in a white kebaya and subordinate batik. Her face looks fresh with light makeup. The bun on her head is decorated with red roses and jasmine strands to make Aruna look more beautiful.

While Diana and Arka appear in harmony with batik couple that has the same motif and color. The clothes they wore were exactly the same as those worn by Ahmad and Hardini. Previously Diana and Hardini agreed to wear ‘sagam’ at the wedding of Aruna and Kautsar.

“ Already all...?” ask Arka.

“ Ready Pa....,” says Aruna and Diana together.

“ So we leave now yes..,” said Arka who is owned by Aruna and Diana.

“ Is your Dad coming, son.?” diana asked as the car drove away from the hotel where they were staying.

“ Insha Allah come Ma. Dad promised...,” said Aruna.

“ You don't expect much huh Son. But you're calm, we've prepared the judge if your father doesn't come. We understand, maybe your father was awkward with our presence.” said Diana.

“ Yes Ma. Although I really hope Father is my guardian to marry Me because Papa does not want to be my guardian.

“ Maafin Papa ya Darling. Not Papa won't, but that's the rule in religion. Papa is not your real father so you have no right to be your guardian.” said Arka patiently.

“ Yes Pa...,” said Aruna while lowering her head.

“ Don't be sad about it. Ntar beautiful lost you know..” said Diana as she rubbed the back of Aruna's hand until the girl smiled again.

Soon a car entered the courtyard of a house that had been beautifully decorated. On the porch of the house looks genk Comot and Barri is sitting waiting while talking. When they saw the car carrying Aruna coming, they seemed to smile and stood up to welcome the presence of the bride.

“ Lo very beautiful Run, manglingi tau ga..,” praise Ria while observing Aruna from head to toe.

“ Alhamdulillah.., thanks Ri...,” said Aruna with a smile.

“ Just chat Ri, let the bride enter first..,” said Fadil reminded.

Ria also blushed in shame because she realized that it was blocking Aruna who was going to enter the house. Ria pulled over and let Aruna into the house. Afterwards Comot's genk accompanied Aruna's steps from behind.

When she stepped up her legs Aruna looked nervous. But the nervousness seemed to disappear when Aruna arrived at the house and saw Orion, George and Matilda were sitting with Ahmad and Hardini.

“ Father..!” call Aruna and embrace Orion.

“ Ups, be careful Nak..” Orion said while laughing out of worry Aruna fell.

Everyone laughed at Aruna's behavior. While Aruna looked embarrassed and it made Kautsar stunned to see him. Hardini nudged Kautsar's arm to make the Kautsar wearing a white dress bow down in shame.

“ Why Child, beautiful yes...,” seductive Hardini while blinking one eye.

“ Yes Bu...,” said Kautsar shyly to make Hardini smile.

“ Well the bride is complete Mr. Ustadz. We can start now..” Ahmad said.

“ Well, if so We can start now yes..,” sahut ustadz Azam who is an employee of KUA.

Kautsar and Aruna sat opposite Orion and Ustadz Azam. On the right and left, Ahmad and Arka were seen sitting as witnesses of the marriage. George and Matilda are seen sitting with Diana, Hardini and other guests.

The atmosphere began to calm when the process of kabul ijab took place. Orion seemed to shake the hand of the Kautsar tightly and began to recite the sacred sentence.

“ Brother Muhammad Alkautsar bin Ahmad, I marry and marry you to my biological son Aruna Genara bint Orion with a dowry a set of gold jewelry paid in cash...,” Orion said with a vibrating voice.

“ I received the marriage and marriage of Aruna Genara bint Orion with the dowry paid in cash.!” sahut Kautsar.

“ Barakallahu laka wa baarokaa alaika wa jama’a bainakuma fii khoir. May Allah bless you in joy and sorrow and gather you in goodness.” says ustadz Azam.

“ Aamiin ya Robbal’alamin..,” say a couple of brides and everyone together.

After chanting a long prayer for the happiness of a couple, Ustadz Azam also thrust the marriage documents in front of Aruna and Kautsar. Aruna's wiggling finger was seen shaking as she grabbed the pen from the hand of the Kautsar who had just signed their marriage documents.

“ You gapapa Run..?” kautsar asked half a whisper while looking at Aruna gently.

“ Mmm..., gapapa..,” says Aruna nervously.

Aruna was surprised when he heard Kautsar say the word ‘kamu’ when usually he and Kautsar each other ber‘lo –

lu’ when talking. Realizing that Aruna was surprised when she changed her way of speaking, Kautsar understood.

After signing the marriage documents, Aruna and Kautsar stand facing each other. Then the Kautsar handed over a set of jewels that became their wedding dowry to Aruna. Cheering genk Comot was heard when Aruna looked embarrassed to accept the Kautsar's gift. Especially when Barri also steals the Kautsar to kiss Aruna.

“ Kiss Tsar, it is legal to be a Wife. Halal really..!” barri said loudly to everyone's laughter.

“ Lo ga might ngelakuin that right Tsar...?” asked Aruna while whispering.

“ Why, don't you want or can't.?” kautsar asked in a whisper.

“ Ck, what the hell Lo..,” Aruna sergeant while rounding his eyes and it makes Kautsar laugh.

“ Kiss the hand of your Husband Nak.” said Diana reminded Aruna who was still sculpting with a gaze drawn towards the Kautsar.

“ l.. yes Ma...” said Aruna then took a hard hand Kautsar and kissed the back of his hand with reverence.

“ Well now Kautsar can kiss Aruna..,” said Hardini relaxed but surprising Aruna.

“ On the forehead only a little..,” interrupted Diana as if to understand the uncomfortable feeling that Aruna felt.

Kautsar smiled triumphantly when he heard Diana and Hardini's words. Slowly Kautsar brought his face closer to Aruna's face and gently kissed Aruna's forehead. Aruna was seen closing her eyes because she could not see a pair of Kautsar eyes that were fixed on her.

Cheers reverberated in the room as the Kautsar peeked at Aruna's forehead for a while.

“ Uda Nak, do not have long time also times..,” said Hardini to make Kautsar and Aruna misbehaved.

The event continues. A couple approached their parents to ask for their blessing. While kneeling Aruna and Kautsar kissed the backs of their parents' hands in turn. George and Matilda who accompanied Orion also received the same treatment from Aruna and Kautsar.

After delivering the wedding sermon ustadz Azam resigned because he had to return to the office. Ahmad and Arka also drove the departure of Ustadz Azam to the yard. While the bride and the guests began to eat the dishes available. Occasional laughter is heard when Kautsar and Aruna return to be ‘materials kandaan’ his friends.

Ria also took the initiative to capture the moment with her cellphone camera. Orion, George and Matilda look uncomfortable when they see Ria pointing her phone camera at them. Aruna who saw it also tried to give understanding to Ria.

“ Don't photo Father I and his brother Ri...,” pinta Aruna while gently pulling Ria's hand.

“ Why Run, even though I like to see them. Their appearance is unique. Different body posture, skin color and hair make me curious. Moreover, Aunt Lo is very beautiful rich Barbie doll.” said Ria.

“ But they do not like to be photographed Ri..” said Aruna.

“ Oh that, sorry I don't know. But if the photo Lo same Kautsar can be..?” ask Ria.

“ Can, We go there aja yuk..,” invite Aruna while pinching Ria's arm to get away from Orion, George and Matilda.
