Sitting on a special chair reserved for the groom, Bara exhaled heavily. His decision to refuse to hold a wedding reception was apparently wrong. He did not expect his parents to invite this many guests on the day of his wedding.
Already trained to master all situations and be the center of attention, the man still looks calm even though his heart is racing.
Honestly, he wasn't ready. Luckily the bride had not sat in her chair, so she still had time to mentally prepare for the contract.
Shortly after he sat down, Edo approached and invited someone. Bara watched the middle-aged man with narrowed eyes. Occupying a special seat reserved for the marriage guardian makes the man finally understand if the person is the uncle of his future wife. Not wanting to pretend to be friendly, he just stared at the man flatly.
Not long after the show began. A person in charge of hosting the event called the bride to enter the place of marriage certificate.
All eyes were fixed on the door. Bara himself initially felt reluctant to turn there to give a speech. However, realizing that this was really not worth the eyes of the crowd, he finally turned his head there even though he was only half-hearted.
Suddenly silent atmosphere. However, it only walked for a moment because then whispers of flattery voices filled the room.
Three women walked slowly through the door. Along with that, Bara's eyes widened from before. The man momentarily pecked with his eyelids not blinking.
Is that really what he saw? Bara barely believes it. To the extent that the man threw a glance at Hendrik, as if beckoning, making sure that what he saw was true.
Hendrik from his place could only smile while nodding convincingly. To be honest, he had only now seen Mulan's true face. Only, before he did have faith if Mulan was not a careless woman.
Mulan is very beautiful walking slowly towards the wedding contract chair. Modern white kebaya wrap with makeup and complete access of the Sundanese siger on the head, making it look like the embodiment of the queen of khayangan.
On her wedding day, Mulan should be happy. However, what happened was that the woman actually felt weak, lost in spirit like losing half a soul.
Despite being the center of attention, there was no smile on his face. He stepped lightly as if he wanted to float. Luckily the two beautiful women on the left and right sides were holding her, helping to balance the body. However, she is just an ordinary woman who has weaknesses, which do not escape sadness. Moreover, his heart was now struck by an endless storm.
Only the shadow of Rayyan's face was able to make it last until now. Just Rayyan, Rayyan and Rayyan.
Arriving at the seat of the agreement, Mulan felt relieved when she saw Bima was already sitting in her chair. However, after shifting her gaze, Mulan was stunned to see the man occupying the seat beside the chair for her.
Is that the groom?
Did ya?
Mulan could not cover up the shock. He even forgot how to blink. The handsome young man was looking at him right now. Unfortunately, there was no hospitality on that handsome face as the other bridegroom was happy to welcome his bride. The eagle's eyes even stared intently.
Mulan turned her gaze in the other direction to cut off the linkage of view. Suddenly the feathers stood in horror. Fear and worry. If another woman marries to welcome happiness, then she marries to welcome suffering.
Forced marriage. There is no love. Violence in the home. It was all swirling around in his mind. Not to mention there is no clarity of Rayyan's situation.
Can he survive?
Must. For Rayyan.
"Brother Bara Aditama, have you done kabul ijab?" ask the ruler after Mulan sits in her chair comfortably.
"It." Bara answered firmly. The same belief was shown by Mulan. So there is no reason to buy time and finally the marriage contract began.
Mulan's heart was beating faster. Especially when Bara said the phrase kabul ijab smoothly and loudly with just one breath.
"Well!" The witnesses spoke strongly.
Mulan was fainting. A drop of clear grain glides from the corner of the eye. Along with the kabul Ijab that Bara proclaimed, now she has legally become the wife of the man as well.
Congratulations and thanksgiving then rumbles out. A religious figure also led prayers together with solemnity.
Although Mulan raised her hand to reassure her, but her mind wandered out of nowhere. Exploring his future with Bara who is without any picture.
Ijab kabul has been implemented. A series of other events also went well. Mulan's ring finger has been embedded with a diamond-encrusted wedding ring pinned by Bara. So is the ring finger of Bara who has been embedded in their wedding ring.
The shooting session also went well even though the smile they showed was full of falsehoods. Luckily, no one realized their wedding was just a deal.
Behind the happiness and admiration of the faces there, it turns out there is one pair of eyes that look not like to see the excitement of the party.
Ever since she arrived, Alexa has been staring sinisterly at Mulan. Although he is getting older, in fact his bad attitude from the past until now has never changed. How could there be a sister like her? He felt tormented to see Mulan happy. He did not accept Mulan to be superior to him in any way.
Mulan may have been married twice while she is still single until now. Seeing from the luxury of the party and the ranks of socialite guests who were present there, Alexa immediately guessed how much the wealth of the Bara family.
He should be happy. He should have been able to take advantage of this opportunity to show charm and lure the established man. Unfortunately, so many young and handsome business people who were present there, in the eyes of Alexa no one was able to captivate his heart, because the most shining among all was Bara Aditama, the most shining among all, the man who is now officially the husband of his cousin's sister.
Damnit damnit!
Meanwhile, Mulan can only greet the guests who congratulate her with a smile as gracious as possible.
Hendrik who was standing there was unceasingly observing from a distance. Even a threatening sentence that he had whispered, still ringing in Mulan's ears.
"Be proper with the happy bride on her wedding day. If not, then your son won't survive."
Mulan's teeth immediately gritted at that time. He clenched his hands, then looked at Hendrik sharply.
"What do you mean!" tanyanya fiery. While Hendrik, just respond with while reviewing a thin smile.
"The wedding has been done, madam." He whispered again with a warning. "But you need to remember. There are still a lot of events that have not been done. So I hope, you can be a little patient and please cooperate."
Mulan snorted softly. Forced he must again resist his desire to meet Rayyan. Again they used the son to suppress him.
From where he stood, he noticed Bara who was busy greeting someone. Mulan did not think her husband was young and handsome. Unfortunately, the man showed no hospitality at all. While the changed man who had pressured him at that time was Mr. Damar who turned out to be Bara's father. While the middle-aged woman who was always on the side of Damar was Esther, Bara's mother.
Suddenly Mulan frowned looking at the scene in front of her. A woman who came out of nowhere approached Bara and hugged the man very tightly. The woman looks very sad. However, Bara strangely smiled gently while breaking the woman's embrace.
To make Mulan turn her back, Bara took the woman's hand and took her somewhere. Just two.
Honestly, a big question mark immediately perched in his brain. Who is this woman and what does this have to do with her husband? They could have gone together on Bara's wedding day with her! Mean what?
"Mrs. Better you don't have to take care of something that's none of your business?" Suddenly Hendrik said with implied intent.
"meaning?" mulan asked incomprehensibly with a frown.
"I knew Mrs Mulan was watching Mr. Bara from a distance" Hendrik said.
Mulan clucked, then replied to Hendrik's insinuation with a cynical sentence. "Who wants to take care of people's business! I only noticed the heartless man who left his own wife with the other woman alone. How do you think Mr Hendrik? Is it worth it for a respectable person like Bara Aditama to do?" mulan asked in a dismissive tone while folding her hands in front of her chest.
"It's up to how you judge, Madam," Hendrik replied with a break. "Obviously Mr. Bara is not as bad as Mrs thinks."
"Ter-se-rah!" mulan concluded with a tone of indifference. Not wanting to linger near Hendrik and get inner pressure, he chose to go from there, intending to take a drink to wet the esophagus.
However, he had not yet reached for a glass, someone had already blocked his wrist from behind.
For a moment, Mulan gritted her teeth furiously while noticing the man's fingers attached to her wrists. However, before he vented anger at thinking it was Hendrik's hand, he was turned upside down by the figure standing there. Especially when the man mentioned his name with an expression of disbelief.
"Mulan?"
