Grandpa's Choice Man

Silent Wedding

After all agreed to hasten the marriage of Tiara and Rama, it was finally decided they would marry the day after tomorrow. Mr. Adi and Rama are busy taking care of the wedding files. Tiara, Bu Lia, and Bu Ina were busy preparing for the show. Given the declining health condition of Mr. Tirta, the wedding was held simply and only attended by nuclear families. Reception will be held after conditions allow. It was also at Tiara's request because everything was sudden and Tiara wanted her wedding to be held secretly first at her grandfather's house.

When the wedding arrived, there was a penghulu, the parents of the bride and groom, Rama's two older brothers and her partner and son, Riza, Aksa, the grandmother of Tiara's grandfather from Bu Lia, and of course Mr. Tirta is sitting weakly in a wheelchair. The decoration of the venue is very simple dominated by white and light brown in tune with the clothes worn by Tiara and Rama. Chairs and tables ijab qabul plain white with a little tile decoration and flowers nude, while the guest chair invitation brown wood decorated with white tile makes it more elegant.

Rama sat in front of the penghulu and Pak Adi. Tiara was also ready beside him. With all his strength, Mr. Adi refrained from crying because he had to let go and give the responsibility of the princess to the man who would become his son-in-law. Pak Adi hopes that Rama will love and care for Tiara wholeheartedly even though their marriage is on the basis of arranged marriage.

Penghulu beckoned Mr. Adi to lend a hand after making sure the two brides were ready and relaxed towards their marriage. Adi reached out and was greeted by Rama. The two looked at each other very deeply, even their eyes spoke rather than words coming out of their lips.

"I married my daughter, Mutiara Salsabila, with you, Rama Putra Dewantara bin Arif Dewantara with the mascawin paid in cash," said Pak Adi with a slightly trembling voice.

"I accept the marriage of Mutiara Salsabila bint Adi Setiawan with the mascawin paid in cash" said Rama with one breath.

The witness declared it legitimate and all those who attended the wedding said their hearts. The atmosphere was filled with extraordinary novelty that could make some of them to shed tears, especially Bu Lia, Bu Ina, and Pak Tirta. After that, the ruler continued the prayer to close the ijab qabul event.

The event continued with the bride's handover. Pak Adi invited Tiara to walk to the row of invitation chairs and indeed had prepared special chairs for those who faced each other. Tiara sat in the middle of Pak Adi and Bu Lia, while Rama sat between Bu Ina and his older brother, Rio.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaksi this event. Let's pray, may Tiara and Nak Rama always be blessed by God and happy forever," said Mr. Adi opened the wedding handover ceremony.

"Son Rama, my son. Now, Tiara has officially become your wife so the responsibility towards her is entirely yours. Son, we leave our beloved daughter to you with hope and prayer so that you can take care and love her whole heart. If he is wrong, forgive and reproach with gentleness. If he is disobedient and deviant, guide him patiently. Please, never hit him as big as his mistake because not only will he be hurt, we will also be more devastated as his parents. Please, don't betray her even once she has too many flaws and is far from perfect. If you no longer love her, don't waste it. Please, give it back to us in a good way," said Mr. Adi momentarily stopped after tears began to fall from the corner of his eyes.

This was the first time Tiara had seen her father shed tears. Tiara and everyone present also felt the need to tear up. In fact, Ms. Lia had sobbed softly feeling her inner mosquito coupled with Pak Adi's speech. Pak Tirta was unable to stem his tears because he was so moved.

"Son, our hands are wide open to receive him back if you are unable to take care of him and we will not blame you because we are aware that not all married people can mate forever. Son Rama, from now on Father and Mother entrust our spoiled little daughter to you. Releasing him to another man actually broke our hearts for fear that there would be no guard as good as we did. But getting married is also an obligation. Son, our daughter has chosen you to be her life companion, so accompany her in her sorrow, accompany in her bitter sweetness. Tiara's responsibilities are entirely up to you. Happy to build the household ark, face the storm and the obstacles together," continued Mr. Adi with tears scattered.

"For my daughter, Pearl Salsabila. Now you are a wife. Although forever you will be our child, but your current devotion must give precedence to the husband and believe that our affection will never diminish for you. Obey him and do not argue as long as what is ordered is not bad. Ask him for permission and leave every want to decide or do anything so that everything you do is blessed. Take care of her wealth and honor even if you are not with her. Take care of your husband's disgrace to keep your household awake. Thank you for giving us a good daughter-in-law. Thank you for helping us fulfill our obligations as parents. Father and Mother are very happy, may you also feel the same. Happy new tasks, hopefully facilitated in everything. The prayers of Father and Mother will always be with you," added Mr. Adi increasingly sad.

The handover event took place with khikmad and raced blue. Nothing is shedding tears during the procession. Plus saw Pak Adi and Bu Lia who looked so heavy releasing his daughter but they tried to be steadfast and mengikhlaskan everything.

Renewal certainly did not escape also from the inner Bu Ina. Ms. Ina really sobbed during the show. Bu Ina was relieved because finally his three children had found a partner and complete his family. She was also so relieved to have fulfilled one last will of her husband.

Papa must have seen it from up there. Papa must be happy because we have fulfilled your mandate. I'm relieved too. Relax them. Just relax there, Pa. Bu Ina.
