The long-awaited day has arrived. Tomorrow afternoon, the wedding ceremony will be held at around two in the afternoon. Then proceed with the reception at night, in the same building as the time of the marriage contract.
As for tonight, Ara is performing a traditional Javanese ritual, namely Midodareni. In his own house.
Midodareni is usually done at night after the flush procession. This is the cleaning stage for both bride and groom before the sacred day of the wedding. The ijab kabul.
On the night of Midodareni, the groom-to-be came with the family. By bringing offerings to the family of women, in order to strengthen the friendship rope.
While the flush itself is to ask for God's blessings and mercy, so that the two brides are cleansed from all evil. With a flush, the two brides are also expected to get guidance during the sailing of the household ark.
And all these traditional Javanese rituals, already done by Ara.
The Cloud family has arrived. Abhimanyu house is not so big, so crowded and full of guests.
Although actually these guests are the Awan family and also Ara himself. There are no guests from outside. Because this customary event does not want to be made big.
Given if tomorrow, they must also be ready to be in the building. For the core events of all events. The wedding ceremony and also the wedding reception.
All seemed wise in following the event after the event. Simple but still fun.
And tonight's event, lasts until half-eleven o'clock tonight.
Now, it's eleven o'clock at night. The Awan family had already returned home to their own home.
So did Edi's father and Sofie's mother. The two of them, already home together with Yasmin, were also present with her husband and son.
Yasmin and Aksan, came two days ago, using their own car as usual.
The Sekar family has also returned home. But, Miko did not want to be invited to go home. He wants to sleep in Abhimanyu's house, along with Nanda. Which apparently also did not come home along with eyang and his mother.
Nanda wanted to be near Ara, before Ara tomorrow had officially become the wife of the Ocean Cloud.
So, Miko also reasoned the same as Nanda said.
She also wanted to accompany her cousin's sister, Ara. Which will soon remove the pepper tomorrow.
The four of them, Ara, Anggi, Nanda and also Miko, were still chatting in the living room.
"Sister, get to bed! Tomorrow we have to be ready from morning. Brother will need to make up," said Anjani advising his son, Ara.
"Yes Bun," Ara replied as she nodded her head in agreement.
After Anjani catches up with Abhimanyu into the room, Miko taunts her cousin's sister.
"Ciehhh, who will be legal tomorrow. Can you sleep tonight? Haha..." Miko laughed happily, because she could bully her brother Anggi.
"Sttts... Miko, the melanin sounds!"
Anggi warned Miko not to say it out loud. Especially while laughing.
In addition to fear of being discovered by his father and his mother, it was night. Maybe they will be visited by the security complex, which sometimes goes around. To ensure that their housing complex remains safe.
"Yes to Miko. Diem ihsss!"
Now, it was Ara who felt uneasy because of Miko's voice. Moreover, that Miko also intended to bully herself.
While Nanda himself, from then on just silence. Although the cages also chimed in the words of one who was speaking.
Nanda also occasionally checks his cell phone, and type into the screen of the phone.
Maybe he was texting Mita. Her lover, who is unlikely to be able to attend the event tonight.
"Sir, how is Mita now?"
Ara asks Nanda about Mita. Because two days ago, Mita had dropped again and was hospitalized. Even if it's just a day.
"Sister," called Ara again, because Nanda did not answer the question she asked.
Pluck up!
Miko patted Nanda on the shoulder. Because he felt sure that Nanda was in a dreamy state.
"Eh, ap_what's Miko?"
Stuttering, Nanda asked Miko. Because he was very surprised. When Miko patted her shoulder.
"So. Nothing," said Miko pretended not to know.
"She's evil, brother daydreams!" Miko answered a question from Nanda, with pursed lips.
"Ah not really. Brother is not dreaming."
Nanda dodged and did not want to admit, if he was daydreaming.
"Ask the same Ara!"
Hearing Miko, Nanda turns her attention to Ara. "What's the matter Ra?" nanda asked, seeing Ara who only smiled faintly looking at him.
"It's okay, brother. Is there anything you're thinking about?"
Ara asked Nanda. He wanted to know what his cousin was thinking.
Cousin brother, whom he already considered an older brother. Because Nanda had also been guarding herself all this time.
"Hmmm..."
Nanda did not immediately answer Ara's question. The two took a deep breath, then closed their eyes. It's a feeling that shouldn't be.
"Sister is just heavy Ra. Because after tomorrow, after the marriage contract. And you've officially become his wife Cloud, Brother will no longer be able to get closer to you."
"You don't need your brother anymore either. Because there's a cloud that's gonna take care of you."
Nanda said so, as if he was going far away and could not see Ara again.
"After this, be a good wife and also immediately make me a nephew huh!" nanda said again, with the intention of joking.
"That's it... Brother," said Ara, who immediately hugged her cousin with teary eyes.
Nanda welcomed Ara's embrace in confusion. He did not know what was going on in his heart at this moment.
But Miko felt the taste of haru. He saw the two, Ara and Nanda, who were so close and protective of each other.
While Anggi, who had replied to Ahmed earlier, could only look at the brothers with mixed feelings.
Bruackkk!
Suddenly, the door was broken from outside.
"Lift hands!"
There were five masked adults, who entered the house by force. They also told Ara and the others to raise their hands.
In their hands, there was a firearm ready to pull the trigger.
"Well!"
"Eh, what is this?"
"Who are you?"
"What do you want?"
Ara, Nanda, Anggi and Miko, both asked the people who had come uninvited.
Moreover, it was also night.
It wasn't night anymore, it was early morning. Because now, the clock is near the number one.
"No need to talk much! Quickly raise your hand and turn around!"
One of them, who had a large height, gave instructions to Ara CS.
They all obey the words of the man. Although Ara and Nanda can fight, in their hands there are firearms.
Can't rashly, if it's going to put up a fight.
Must be careful and vigilant. Because once pulled, the hot lead could have shot into all of their bodies.
With great force, Ara and Nanda finally followed the will commanded by them.
While Anggi and Miko, already almost crying because they feel scared.
