Second marriage

Alex wakes up to hear an alarm on his phone. At 6am, in exactly 3 hours, Mia will be his legal wife.

Alex takes a shower and gets ready. Someone knocked on the door of his room when he was wearing his white shirt.

Rio appeared from behind the door, looking handsome in his black suit.

Rio: "Why need help?

Alex: "Wow, what a handsome papa kid. Here, kid. Papa needs a friend, papa's a little nervous."

Rio smiled looking at the nervous expression of his papa. He looked at his father in the mirror and they looked like twins.

The faces of both look similar to the same hairstyle.

Rio helped his papa wear a white tie and suit. Similar to Arnold's clothes but slightly different in the ornament.

Alex looked at her appearance in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. He hugged Rio's shoulder as he walked out of his decorated bridal room from last night.

A few more flowers will be added before her bridal night with Mia to add freshness to the room.

They had breakfast together because grandma and Riri were still in makeup. Rara and Mia have been in the building since 4 am.

Mama Mia had already arranged a makeup artist for Rara as well.

-------

At 8 am, Riri finished and changed clothes. He wears gold-colored kebaya and brown cloth. While the grandmother wears matching colors but darker.

Rio and Alex turned their heads to the stairs as Riri walked downstairs while carrying a handbag.

Rio and Alex: "Wow! Pretty." Both compact praise Riri who does look beautiful.

It is very different from the appearance of everyday who always wear glasses and hair.

Riri : "Ach, you can. Riri is beautiful from birth."

Rio : "Hmm. start ge-er."

Alex: "All is ready, right? Let's go."

Rio: "Papa can't wait."

Alex: "Papa miss Mama Mia. 2 Days I haven't seen."

Riri: "Let's go, we're also uda kangen mama."

They board a mini bus that Alex has hired to transport their extended family, while Alex drives his car.

Arnold's bridal motorcade was also ready to wait for them in front of the house.

Arnold seemed to drive his own car, he said hello to Alex who passed by with the bridal group from Alex's side.

They went to the building where their wedding was going to take place.

-------

Rara is already dressed and is being helped to wear white kebaya. Her face red blushed typical of shy brides.

While Mia has not finished her self but has dressed first. MUA who took turns taking care of them seemed to go back and forth between the bulkheads of the room.

Mia and Rara were placed in the same room but blocked with a large curtain. They have not been allowed to meet face to face and can only talk to each other.

Rara : "Well... Mama...?"

Mia: "Yes, Ra?"

Rara: "Mama Uda finished?"

Mia: "I don't think you can look in the mirror yet."

Rara: "Yes, Rara can't either. This is Rara still wearing the wedding dress."

Mia: "You nervous, Ra? Your voice is a little weird."

Rara: "Slightly, don't know why you're nervous."

Mia: "Mama too, don't know from earlier the stomach tastes mules."

They laughed together, causing MUA confusion.

Mia: "Hadeh, your father must be nervous too. Her face was so tense."

Rara: "Arnold may also be just as nervous. I hope everything goes well, Mah."

They still chatted about a lot of things to reduce the tension that hit them as time almost showed at 9am.

Mama Mia who was ready, entered the room where the two of them were. He stared in satisfaction at Rara and Mia who were almost finished.

Mama Mia: "The groom's entourage has just arrived. You guys finish it up quick." He said to MUA who is still busy taking care of Rara.

MUA 1: "Ok sip. It's over soon."

Mia: "Well, is Alex uda coming?"

Mama Mia: "Do you think? He came first and immediately sat at the table where the ijab was. Not a word."

Mia: "Hehe. 2 Days I haven't seen."

Mama Mia was just shaking her head to realize the level of intimacy of the girl and her future son-in-law.

Mama Mia: "You want to go on a honeymoon or something?"

Mia: "If Alex's honeymoon says he just left the day after, mah. I'll clean up at home first. Anyway, Mia's still managing the files for graduation later."

Mama Mia: "Well, not done yet? Said uda the list."

Mia: "It's over, mah. But there are a few more files that need to be deleted. Mia just leave it to campus. I couldn't leave the house yesterday."

Mama Mia: "Yes, already. Your clothes have been sent to Alex's house. If anyone wants to be taken again, take it home yourself."

Mia: "Yes, ma'am."

Mama Mia noticed Mia's appearance and smiled. Mia looks very beautiful with Javanese bridal makeup.

Mama Mia: "The son of a very beautiful mother... If you are married, do not forget the same house. Come often."

Mia: "Ma, Mia will not forget. Mia just moved house. Mia is my mom's son."

Mia grabbed her mother's hand and kissed her slowly. They could not hug as it could ruin the appearance of the two.

Finally Mia and her mother can only hold hands while holding haru. MUA who put on makeup Mia warned her not to cry because her makeup could be damaged.

Rara who had been listening since then was also moved but she tried to hold back her cries. He wondered if his father might feel the same way later.

Suddenly the door was knocked on by someone. Grandma and Riri appeared from behind the door. While Rio was still waiting in front with Alex.

Mama Mia: "This Riri has come the same mother as well. Mom ahead first."

Mama Mia closes the door after Riri kisses her hand and she shakes grandmother's hand.

Riri: "Wow, what a beautiful sister. Mama too."

Rara: "Ri, brother Arnold uda came?"

Riri: "So, you were talking to me again. Brother miss ya."

Rara: "Yes a little."

Riri : "Kangen dikit.. abis nikah brother do not forget Riri ya..."

Rara looked at Riri's teary eyes. Grandma stroked Rara's back, smilingly staring at her first grandchild.

Grandma: "Grandmother also do not forget. No one is going to take grandma shopping to the market anymore."

Rara, Riri and Mia giggle at the words of grandmother, the time of shopping to the market. MUA also held back her laughter.

This time Rara could not hold back her tears. MUA patiently tidied up Rara's makeup.

-------

The atmosphere in the building began to bustle and the hikers had also come. Alex and Arnold sat at the table. They were talking to the guardians and witnesses.

Papa Mia who has arrived since yesterday, looks fun to chat with Alex. Due to language limitations, Mia's marriage guardian so switched to penghulu according to papa Mia's approval.
