Hate Is Love's

Paid, Debt!

Yudhistira hotel ballroom has been visited by the family of the two brides. All the families of Wisdom, from grandfather to grandson, have come. Stella and Dayana take their child with them, as well as Vanilla. The Ramadhan family also came to witness the happy day of Ayumi, the second child of Barra and Hanna.

Not only the two families, but the Kemal family has also come. A happy roar was clearly imprinted on the faces of both Kemal's parents. They did not expect to be able to be different from the family of Wisdom. Unlike the Kemal who had looked agitated. The man sat up, moving his feet. From the direction of the entrance, appeared his best friend Deri. The man approached her immediately.

For a moment the two men spoke seriously. Kemal rubbed his face rough, Deri was no less upset to see Kemal's attitude like this. The conversation between the two was interrupted when Kemal's mother came and took her child immediately to the agreement table. The one who was going to marry her has already come.

For this wedding, the ruler who is given the trust to fulfill his duties, is Resnu. Thanks to the therapy given Rahman Badarudin Surahman, the man was no longer nervous and stuttered anymore. It's just that sometimes a sense of groggy often hit. Especially if you see the bride is beautiful. The concentration of the man was broken.

Meanwhile, Ayumi was already in the small room in the ballroom. He will stay there until the Ijab kabul event is over. He was accompanied by Hanna and Chelsea, his younger brother. The girl was also nervous about her marriage. Moreover, he and Kemal have not exchanged news, nor met. Their last meeting was during a failed wedding shopping trip because Ayumi chose to visit Vanila who had just given birth.

Farel approached Resnu who was checking the marriage documents of the two brides. The man put a glass of bottled mineral water near Resnu, making him look at Farel. The father of Nalendra threw his smile.

“How are you Mr Resnu?”

“Good, sir Farel.”

“Not stuttering now?”

“Alhamdulillah, ngga.”

“Thank God. Safe situation under control yes, sir.”

Resnu just threw his grin. Farel patted the young ruler on the shoulder, then returned to his place. He sat next to Ara and also her son, Nalendra. After checking the documents, Resnu invited Barra and Kemal to begin the procession ijab kabul.

Several times Kemal rubbed his forehead that was soaked with sweat. Chandra, the father of Kemal massages the child's shoulders to relieve his nervousness. Kemal's feeling was immediately unsettled when Barra clasped his hand tightly. Can the man feel the palms of his future daughter-in-law as cold as ice.

“Ananda Kemal Afriansyah, I marry and marry you to my daughter, Ayumi Dafhina Romano bint Barra El Fatih Romano, with a dowry a set of prayer tools and thirty grams of gold paid in cash!”

“Sa.. i. te. receive her marriage and marriage...”.

Kemal could not finish his sentence. Suddenly the man forgot the long name of his future wife. The first kabul was declared a failure. Chandra gives a drink to her son and goes back to massaging his shoulders. Kemal's face was frustrated. He unintentionally looked at Deri who was looking at him sharply.

“Can restart?” ask Resnu.

“Can, sir. Come Kemal, surely you can,” said Chandra.

Kemal just nodded his head, even though his mind went nowhere. Barra looks annoyed to see the man of his son's choice who looks not serious and ogah-ogahan do the process of kabul ijab. Intrigued by what was happening outside, Ayumi asked Chelsea to look out.

Barra pulled back Kemal's hand, then clasped it tightly. Chelsea oversee the kabul ijab procession that will take place soon. Kemal rubbed his sweaty forehead again.

“Ananda Kemal Afriansyah, I marry and marry you to my daughter, Ayumi Dafhina Romano bint Barra El Fatih Romano, with a dowry a set of prayer tools and thirty grams of gold paid in cash!”

“Sorry, um. Sa... I cannot continue this marriage,” Kemal let go of Barra's hand.

“What do you mean?!” furious Barra.

“Chemals! You don't joke!”

“I'm not kidding pa. Sorry, mom and the others. I. I can't marry Ayumi.”

“Why?” barra asked while trying to contain her anger.

“Sa.. I do not love Ayumi, om.”

Kemal's answer surprised everyone. Chelsea shut her mouth to hear Kemal's confession. Farzan who did not accept Kemal treat his sister like that, immediately went forward to beat him. But his steps were immediately held back by Zar and Arya.

The atmosphere in the ballroom was very loud. The Kemal family was embarrassed not to play with the man's confession. Jojo tightened his jaw, and so did Anfa. Their grandson was made into a game by the snot boy. While Abi, Juna, Cakra and Kevin stared intently at Kemal.

“Chel.. why, Chel?” ask Ayumi who saw her sister never come in.

“Kak.. bang Kemal cancels wedding.”

“Hah?”

Both Ayumi and Hanna were shocked to hear that. The two of them immediately came out of the room. Kemal turned his head, looking at Ayumi. The man got up from his seat, then approached Ayumi.

“Yumi. forgive me. Sorry, I can't marry you.”

“What's your reason for not marrying me?” ayumi asked with a trembling voice holding back the anger.

“I. I don't love you. I'm sorry, Yumi.”

“If you don't love me, why did you agree to date me. Why would you marry me. WHY?!”

“Sorry Yumi, sorry. I just don't have the heart for you.”

“No heart? But you can cancel this wedding and embarrass me!! You should have rejected it from the start!! You jerk!!”

THE PLAQUE!!

Ayumi slapped Kemal on the cheek, to vent her frustration. Deri who saw that immediately approached. He held Ayumi's hand, stopping the girl who was about to slap Kemal again. Roughly, Ayumi pulled her hand.

“Do not mistake Kemal. I asked her to get close to you and date you. But I can't believe you want to marry her,” explains Deri.

“Why did you tell her to date me. Why?!”

“To hide our relationship.”

Kemal lowered his head as Deri gave his explanation. Ayumi was just dumbfounded to hear it, her body a little dazed and almost fell if Chelsea did not hold it. The girl's eyes looked at Kemal and Deri alternately. It is fitting that these two men are like cetet buttons that can not be separated. There is a forbidden relationship between the two.

Mama Kemal almost fainted hearing Deri's confession. The woman was crying. Didn't think the only boy turned out to have the disorder ****. Instead of loving women, she likes the same sex. Chandra's red face seemed to hold shame and anger.

“Sorry Yumi. forgive us,” said Deri.

The man immediately pulled Kemal's hand to leave from there. Regardless of Chandra's call and the rest of his family, Kemal immediately left the ballroom. Chandra rubbed his face rough, then looked at Barra who was still unmoved in place. But the man looked very angry.

“Excuse us, Mr. Barra. We don't know about Kemal's actual behavior. Sorry, we will bear whatever you will do to us. We excuse you.”

Rushing Chandra invited his wife and other relatives to leave the ballroom. He has no face to face with the family of Wisdom and Ramadan. Barra's hands clenched tightly, the man pounded the table tightly making Resnu jump from his seat. The young ruler rubbed his face filled with sweat. Just this time she was watching a wedding drama like this.

Ayumi cast her eyes on Barra. The girl started crying. Today he successfully humiliated his mother, his father and also the entire extended family. Hanna put her son's shoulder on.

“Don't cry, darling. Men like him don't deserve to be weeded.”

“I'm not crying because of her, ma. I feel guilty for humiliating my mom and dad. I should have listened to you. I'm sorry, ma.”

Hanna pulled Ayumi into her arms. The day that was supposed to be the happiest day of his life, was now the most embarrassing day. Nalendra looked unblinkingly at Ayumi who was still crying in her mother's arms. Then turn to Barra who is being placated by his friends. The man then looked at his parents.

“Ma.. pa. if mom and dad allow, I will marry Ayumi today.”

Farel and Ara were shocked to hear this. Not that they did not agree, but they did not have any preparations for this one and only son's wedding. Ara held the child's hand.

“Nal.. are you sure?”

“Iya, mom. Please allow me.”

“Talk to Ayumi and also om Barra. If they're willing, we'll let you,” break up Farel.

Nalendra took a deep breath, then stood up from his seat. With a steady step the man headed towards Barra who was still at the dead table. He sat down in front of Barra.

“Om..please apologize in advance if what I said may not sound polite. I am willing to marry Ayumi.”

“Why do you want to marry her? Is it because of pity? Ayumi doesn't need pity.”

“Sorry, um. There was absolutely no sense of compassion in my heart for him. What happened today is the answer to my prayers. I always wanted a good husband for me. Women who can make my days cheerful and more colorful. And that woman is Ayumi. The woman who has always come in my dreams lately. If you'd like, I'd like to marry Ayumi.”

Barra did not answer. He turned his head to the child. Nalendra did the same. The two of their neutrals met and locked each other up. Ayumi had no idea what she was feeling right now. Disappointed or happy. The man who was willing to be a substitute bride for her was the man who had also come to her dream lately. The man who had seized his mind the past few days.

“Kaya dejavu, yes,” whispered Abi.

“Bene. Finally there is also a ngikut so bride replacement,” timpal Cakra.

“Mas mating joint venture again, no?” sahut Jojo's.

“This one is rich in debt,” concluded Kevin.

His four best friends turned their heads at the man. Kevin shrugged his shoulders.

Everyone's attention is now back on Nalendra, Ayumi and Barra. They are still waiting for the continuation of this wedding drama. Same with Resnu. It was like watching a drama movie live.

“Ayumi.. do you want to marry Nal?” ask Barra.

“I leave everything to papa. I don't want to make the same mistake. It's enough I humiliated papa today.”

“Do you like Nal?” ask Barra again.

Again Ayumi looked at Nalendra who still saw her without blinking. From her second body language, Barra could see a spark of love from them. Barra was inexhaustible with the behavior of Ayumi who still forced marriage with Kemal, when his heart began to be attached to Nalendra.

“Why do you still insist on marrying Kemal if you like other men?”

“I don't want to embarrass papa.”

“But you've humiliated papa now.”

“Sorry, pa,” Ayumi lowered her head.

“Recover your mistake. Don't embarrass papa anymore. Married to Nal.”

“Papa.”

Barra got up from her seat, then approached her second child. He pulled the child into his arms. Ayumi's cry broke out in the arms of the father. Relief was on everyone's faces, and Jojo was no exception. Finally he was able to get the granddaughter-in-law of the Ramadan clan again.

Slowly Barra broke her embrace. She asks Hanna for a tissue, then removes the tears on her son's face. The man hugged Ayumi's shoulder, then looked at Nalendra.

“Om leave Ayumi to you. Om hope you can keep, protect, love and make her happy.”

“In Shaa Allah, om. But. sorry om.”

Nalendra quickly approached Barra. He talked about the important matter in a little whispering voice, not wanting to be heard by his companions and his durable cousins.

“If the dowry debt used to be nothing, om? Because suddenly, I have no preparation,” Nalendra threw his whim.

“Don't think about dowry. Whatever it is, we and also Ayumi will accept it.”

“Ngga can, um. Ayumi is a special woman who will be my wife and my future child. I have to give her a special dowry.”

“Good. It's up to you.”

“You don't mind, do you, Ay? Wedding ring also we will buy later.”

“Iya, bang.”

“Good. Let's just start the marriage contract.”

After the deal was reached, Barra invited Nalendra to sit at the board table. Ayumi was also asked to sit near her future husband. Nara came to bring a white cloth, then put it on the head of the bride-to-be. The eagle sat as a witness from Farel's side, while Ravin would be a witness from Barra's side.

“So her wedding, huh?” ask Resnu make sure.

“So, sir.”

“For completeness, later just follow to KUA.”

“Good, sir,” replied Nalendra.

After Nalendra said her dowry, Barra clasped Nalendra's hand. Unlike Kemal, this time Nalendra clasped his hand tightly. The man was grateful to get a replacement son-in-law in the final seconds.

“Ananda Nalendra Altezza Ramadhan, I marry and marry you to my daughter, Ayumi Daphina Romano bint Barra El Fatih Romano, with a dowry of a set of jewelry weighing 30 grams and fifty million rupiah in cash, payable debt!”

“I received the marriage and marriage of Ayumi Dafhina Romano bint Barra El Fatih Romano with the dowry paid in debt!”

“How are the witnesses, legitimate?”

“SAH!”

There was another voice saying hamdallah, after the substitute bride managed to say the word kabul smoothly, safely and in control, even though the dowry was still in debt.

“Really debt,” chirped Kevin.

“Tumben bener,” says Jojo.

“Nal does not want to follow the footsteps of Kak Juna whose dowry is a joint venture,” timpal Abi.

“Hahaha.”

Juna just shook his head. The joint dowry that occurred during his marriage, was still firmly attached to the memory of his sister and also his friends.

“Buset.. his dowry plantation boss owed, hahaha.” exclaimed Zar.

“Padahal give her dowry broccoli and friends,” timpal Irzal while chuckling.

“Woii my sister!” sewot Farzan who was only met with laughter by the others.

Hanna directs Ayumi to kiss the back of her husband's hand. Ayumi changed her sitting position, then kissed the back of Nalendra's hand. Gently the man grabbed the wife by the shoulder, then landed a kiss on her forehead. The soul mate does not know the place and time when approaching. Unexpectedly Nalendra will be a substitute bride for the girl who later often stopped by in her dreams.

Same with Ayumi. There is a blessing behind the disaster he experienced earlier. God always has a way to bring His servants who have been betrothed by Him. Kemal's departure on the wedding day, replaced by Nalendra. The man who will be his lifelong friend.
