Ayu lowered her head, clutching Samuel's hand tightly and trying not to listen as prayers began before the sacred promise was taken.
I'm remarried.. Hix...
Bibik Lena did not stay silent, she gently rubbed Ayu's back hoping that her feelings would improve.
An atmosphere like this makes me want to cry...
"Hiks.. Hix... Hicks..." Uncle Ano let go of Samuel's hand and looked at Ayu.
"What's incriminating you, son." Ask lirih. He had always considered Ayu as his son.
Come Babe. Just a little more. Why are you acting..
"Come Uncle."
"Wedding should be delayed, son Sam."
Sam breathed a heavy breath. Of course he disagrees and wants Ayu to soon be his.
His brain thought quickly to get an idea so that the wedding could be direct. His body tilted and began to whisper a threat.
"I'd say if you were pregnant with my son." Ayu widened her eyes while exhaling a rough breath.
"They won't believe." Answer Ayu whispered.
"We went to the doctor to check. I'm sure the seed has grown." Samuel stood up and tried to take Ayu away.
What if it's true?
"Come on. It doesn't matter if this marriage is delayed than you're worried." Challenging Samuel is not entirely. He was just trying to bluff and the way it worked.
"I.. I'm not worried about you." Ayu grabbed the tissue and cleaned the corner of her eye. Fortunately, the makeup is resistant to water so that the makeup does not change.
"Then how's Babe?"
"I only remember my parents." Ayu pulled Samuel's fingers back to sit down. Uncle Ano smiled as well as Bibik Lena.
"There's us Ayu." Ayu only replied with a thin smile." How then? Continue or not?" The baby is waiting for approval.
"Continue Uncle."
"Hm good."
Samuel's hand was returned to the office and the taking of the sacred promise was carried out. At first everything was calm and quiet. But when Samuel mentioned the number of dowries, all the guests who were there looked no exception Ayu.
However, the marriage witnesses have said the word shah so that from this moment the two have become a pair of couples.
"Sorry to me." Say Ayu quietly.
"Hm what's up?" Samuel answered, signing a signature.
"It's too much."
"Didn't you ask that?" Ayu smiled strangely as she flashed her words yesterday.
"It's not like that I mean Mas."
"A man would not be the target of women without wealth and power. Not so, gentlemen." The guests who heard it were beards and confirmed Samuel's words." The price for you is all the treasure I have. Including the assets of the company and the house we occupy." It seems Ayu does not believe if his words yesterday are interpreted like that.
"Where can I master that Mas."
"We'll talk about that later Babe. Quickly sign so we can go honeymoon." The mood turned boisterous. Samuel shamelessly uttered impatience. Though the words were only as an outlet for his happy feelings.
Rather than talk a lot, Ayu signed the letters even capturing the moment with some pictures. Although half-hearted, but he tried to show a smile in front of the guests present there.

"Titip Ayu, Son of Sam." Bibik Lena.
"Yes Bik. I'll take care of him. Em I will also visit there if time permits." Uncle Ano smiled. He also felt that Samuel was the man in charge especially considering the dowry mentioned.
"Yes we've said goodbye, pity Cika at home alone." Samuel stood up followed by Ayu. The two kissed the back of Bibik Lena and Uncle Ano's hands in turn.
"Don't forget to take Cika next week to Bik."
"Actually we can come alone, son Sam."
"I'm ready to serve sir, Mom." Dimas smiled.
"Yes already. Take good care of yourself. The same husband. Don't think about it first. All humans have also been wrong. Aunt went home. If there's anything call." He said while hugging and giving a kiss on Ayu's cheek.
"I'll call Bibik's number. Be careful on the road."
"Yes Nduk." Ayu stared at the departure of Dimas' car until it was not seen.
There was a long sigh because from today, she was no longer Lady Dika, but Lady Samuel.
She's my husband.
"Why were you worried?" Samuel asked to know.
"Come on." The soft answer he heard made Samuel's smile grow.
"We're in for a second. There are some things you have to sign."
"Wedding contract?" Answer Ayu guess.
"Not Babe." Ayu saw a middle-aged man already sitting in the living room." He's Mr. Toni, notary of my trust." Although confused, Ayu remained seated while looking at a map on the table.
"Please Miss." He said a piece of paper. Ayu didn't sign it right away and read it first.
Power of attorney transfer letter?
"No Mas. Excuse me. I don't want to." Refuse Ayu to put the paper back.
"That's your dowry and I'm obligated to pay."
"I don't understand such a thing. How Mas Sam turned his back on the company."
"Babe's only transfer of power. You don't have to manage the company."
"No. It's going bankrupt." Samuel chuckled and so did Mr. Toni.
"There's me ready to help. Importantly, accept this dowry so that everything is done."
"If I take her away how?"
"Whatever. You are loyal."
"If you run away means I'm unfaithful."
"Hm bring everything. I'll kill myself because I'm disappointed. Sign it fast." Samuel gave me a bullpen.
"Kok killed himself Mas?"
"If you go my feelings will also go away. I don't want to live without taste, it's sickening!" Ayu was silent for a moment, she read the tiredness that was shown in Samuel's eyes." I told you that all these treasures don't matter! That's why I gave it all to you." With a quick movement Ayu affixed the signature. Not because he wanted to take her away. But she was afraid of sin for rejecting her husband's first wish.
"Already Mas. But I don't want to be bothered with the company."
"That's not gonna happen. All of his companies already have their own people's trust."
"All? How many?"
"Four in Indonesia and seven others spread across several countries Miss." Sahut Pak Toni while entering the map back.
"That's amazing." Gumam Ayu quietly. He glanced at Samuel with a look of disbelief.
"Hm Miss. You are lucky to marry a great man. Excuse me, sir, Miss, excuse me." After shaking hands, Mr. Toni stepped out of the house.
"Is that true, Mom?" Tanya Ayu wanted to know.
"Come Babe. I can't remember. Let's go." Samuel stood up and stretched out his hand.
"Where else?" Ayu welcomed a helping hand and held it tightly.
"Spend the first day where I've prepared." Without protesting Ayu followed Samuel's orders although her heart still did not fully believe in the sweet married life Samuel had promised her.
No need to be too sweet. Just as long as you accept me for who I am and are loyal. That's more than enough..
