Guardians of the Heart #2
Extra Part 5
Yudh Pov.
The Day
I sat tensely dressed as a white sunda custom bride complete with a keris draped around the waist. In front of me sat Dad side by side with a ruler, on the right-left sat the witnesses from my side who unexpectedly were Dedy Mizwar the West Java vice president whom Kekey once acknowledged as my father when facing the swagger of the Tukul, who turned out to be one of Papah's colleagues and from the female side was Pakde Warno, Brother Father.
Today was the most stressful day of my life, my chest skipped a beat, my hands somehow kept on letting out cold sweat. I tried to catch my breath to relieve the tension that was raging, but still the tension was not reduced.
Until finally the time came when my hand shook Father's hand, by saying bismillah I said a simple sentence but containing a lot of meaning.
A simple sentence that changes haram makes it halal between me and the woman I love.
A simple sentence that gives me the responsibility of the afterlife for the woman I love and our descendants.
A simple sentence that changed my status from a child to a husband.
A husband of an extraordinary woman whom God created from my ribs.
A husband of a woman who whispered my name in each of her prostrations.
A husband of a woman who taught me the meaning of sacrifice and waiting.
A husband of a woman who taught me the meaning of true love.
And that woman is Keyza Maharani, the woman I met four years ago in the hustle and bustle of the disaster area.
I smiled with my chest beating crazily when we were finally met. She looks so pretty maybe less to describe it, but she's really amazingly pretty making me pangling.
She was sitting next to me and as usual she looked shy before she finally looked at me after we signed the marriage book, and smiles grew from our faces because we realized that we had both passed all the trials that God gave, until finally it was legal to be a couple.

The event in the space building was until 1 but we only got home in Padjadjaran at around 2. Not much time we had before going to Dago for the next event made me feel sorry for the woman who had just become my wife a few hours ago.
His face looked very tired because he had to stand for about two hours to greet guests, but his eyes radiated happiness. She had just finished her bath and changed into a casual outfit when we were told that we had to go to Dago to prepare for the evening.
“Should have been yesterday I just canceled the event at Dago.” I was so sorry to see her exhausted, just resting for a while but had to get back ready for the ghostly event in Dago.
“Nothing to be tired all of you, anyways Mas Yudha must be more tired than me because previously had to take care of the preparation of everything,” he said with a smile with his body leaning in the car seat. We are currently on our way to Dago.
“That's not how tired dansandingnya keep your heart so not taken another guy.”
“Hahaha.. whereas Mas Yudha need not be tired when it comes to that, right from the first also my heart only belongs to Mas Yudha.”
“Iya, having previously belonged to someone else.”
“Chiih! Hinges!”
“Engga wrong means, hahaha.”
“Please say that Tukul mah is only contracted so he is not the owner of my true heart, the owner is Mas Yudha.”
“Hahaha... and now it is quiet because there is already a certificate of proof of ownership, so there will be no more ngaku-ngaku.”
“Hahaha, yes! Will not be contracted again because it has been filled with the same owner.”
Along the way to the dgo he finally did not sleep, we were too cool to chat and joke after not meeting for long and this was our first chance together after the event.
Dago Pakar Bandung Hotel.
I just finished talking with my colleagues who participated in the procession of sword orgies when I saw him sitting on one of the chairs while staring at the view of the city of Bandung under the afternoon sky.
“Capek?” tanyaku while twitching his shoulder from the back made him smile happily while nodding to answer the question.
I then sat down next to him and grabbed his shoulder, “Sini fell asleep.” I said while laying his head on my shoulder.
At this time we just finished the clean gladi procession of the sword and finally could sit back for a moment before finally she had to go back in makeup and change clothes with kebaya shades of green in harmony with my big clothes I'll wear later.
“Let's see how?” he sat back up straight and made me lay his head on my shoulder.
“Nothing, everyone also knows and can understand the same newlyweds.”
Her cheeks were flushed when I said newlyweds.
“I still can't believe we're finally married,” she said while hugging my waist.
“We wouldn't be married now if I didn't go to Syria yesterday.”
“Hahaha.”
“Hahaha.”
“Why all of a sudden back then were you finally willing to get married?”
“Because at that time I just realized that I would not be able to live without Mas Yudha.”
I smiled at his honesty, then kissed the tip of his head.
“For so long I have always asked myself, from various questions only one of which I have always doubted, that is, can I live without Mas Yudha beside me? My deepest heart already knows the answer, but I'm too stubborn to admit it.”
I smiled back to hear him admit that he was stubborn.
“Alhamdulillah... finally know also that stubborn..ouch!” that made him hit my chest.
“I'm not stubborn.”
“Iya deh not stubborn, just hard to lose.”
“Iiih, no! I am so sorry!” he yelled while hitting me back
“Hahaha... Yes yes durut of my body even blue-blue.”.
“Hahaha.” He laughed as he hugged me again, his eyes were closed but he said again, “Kangen.”
“Whose same customers?”
“Sama Mas Yudha-lah, the same time others.”
“Oh, hahaha.kan again hugged the time is still kangen.”.
“Iya but rich is still lacking that, have not met for a long time so kangennya bangeeet.”
“Still less?”
“Iya.”
“Later tonight we are satisfied.”
“Iiih what the hell!!” her face was red, but her hands swiftly pinched my waist hard enough to make me complain.
“Hahahaha... What will you do tonight? His face was red so”
“Iiih, what the hell!”
“I mean we chat later tonight just satisfied now you have to start dandanin.”
“Hah?!” his face looked confused and it made me want to laugh.
“Yes, now you have to start at dandanin, the guy already called.”
He looked at an elderly woman who was smiling at him not far from where we were sitting.
“Why not tell daritadi?!” His whisper with his face still flushed.
“I've been telling you, you've been thinking everywhere.”
“Dieh, engga!” he hit me back while standing up.
“Terus that why his face rich tomato mateng.”
“Know ah!” he shouts while walking leaving me who laughs to see him.
