I AM FAITHFUL TO HIM WHOM YOU LOVE

THE UNWANTED GROOM

In a famous hotel room there is a wedding ceremony that is so luxurious. The invited guests look to meet the place of the beautiful decoration. But what they surprise, in front there is only a penghulu and two witnesses only. Then where is the bridegroom and the woman? The ijab qobul schedule was over half an hour ago.

Desas desus guest invitations began to sound bad ears. They start to guess and guess what happens.

While in one of the rooms, the bride-to-be appeared to be arguing with her father. They debated the prospective successor to the groom who would marry the bride.

" Married to Arthur!" Tell Mr. Adi the father of the bride.

" I don't want to marry Bang Arthur." Mara said staunchly.

" Who do you want to marry, Mara? Your dear Aldo whom you are proud to have left you at the altar of marriage for no apparent reason. Are we looking for that bastard Aldo? That's not gonna happen. Papa won't be looking for the man who humiliated our family. Leaving you alone on your wedding day is the biggest insult to Papa. Papa will never forgive him. And you need to know, Papa invited many of Papa's business colleagues here, if your marriage fails to put where Papa's face? How can Papa face them all Mara?" Said Mr. Adi.

Mara squeezes her wedding dress.

" Try to understand and understand this situation Mara. For the sake of our family's honor, marry Arthur." Keep up Mr. Adi.

" Bang Arthur is just a Pa driver, then how can he meet all my needs? His salary alone was just enough to eat him and his family. Then what should I eat after becoming his wife?" Mara is looking for the right reason.

" You have your own business, your savings are also a lot. Don't worry about not eating when you're with him. How is Arthur different from Aldo? Aldo's just a regular employee whose salary is on par with Arthur." Mr. Adi's.

" My pa...

" If you don't want to obey Papa, it's better for Papa to die than to be ashamed for the rest of your life." Threaten mr. Adi.

" No Pa, don't do that!" Mara panicked.

" Then do what Papa wants." Tell Mr. Adi.

" But Pa I don't love Arthur bang, I'd be saddened if my status suddenly changed to his wife. Just find another one, Pa." Mara tried to negotiate.

" Love grows out of the ordinary, if you get used to it the love will surely be present in your heart. Unless you don't want to open your heart to Arthur. Now you don't have to look for excuses anymore, just go downstairs because Arthur's ready in front of the ruler." Mr. Adi's words upset Mara.

" How is Bang Arthur not ready? He must have felt very lucky to have married a rich girl like me. He would not waste this opportunity for free. You poor poor gold prospector, you see what I can do to you to make you regret this decision." Mara's mind tightly clenched her hand.

Tamara Adijaya is a beautiful twenty-year-old girl who is forced to marry young with her lover Aldo Bastian. But fateful on the day of his wedding Aldo did not come, for some reason only Aldo knew.

" Mara, don't you want to listen to Papa?" Mr. Adi looked at his beloved daughter.

" Pa don't Bang Arthur! I'm ready to marry anyone but her." Mara.

Mara has faith that if she marries another man, she can offer some kind of contract marriage until Aldo returns. He'll pay whatever the man wants but not Arthur. If she marries Arthur, she will forever be Arthur's wife. Arthur is a man who is very loyal to his father, for years he worked as a driver Mara as well as a confidant of Mr. Adi.

" Papa only believes in Arthur, no man can take care of you as well as Arthur." Mr. Adi's.

Mara breathed her breath.

" When you get married, open your heart to her! You'll be happy living with her, trust Papa! Papa's choice will never go wrong Mara. Papa has given you the opportunity to choose your own future husband, but what is the truth? You wrongly chose that man to be your future husband. This time, please Papa! Save Papa's shame in front of them all Mara. Marry Arthur or you'll see Papa die in front of your eyes right now." Said Mr. Adi clenching both hands in front of his chest.

" Papa's." Mara hugged her papa.

" Never do that Pa! I have no one but Papa in this world. I-i'm sorry! I'll obey Papa's will, I'll marry Arthur's bang. I'm gonna marry him Pa." Mara.

Mr. Adi smiled at the corner of his lips. This is Mara's weakness, as hard as Mara's attitude he will melt if it relates to the safety of his father. He really loves Mr. Adi as Papa and his mother. Because all this time Mara only lived alone after her mother was gone.

" Let's go down! Mr. Penghulu's waiting downstairs." Keep up Mr. Adi.

" Yes Pa." Mara Sahut.

Mr. Adi took Mara's hand out of the room to the hotel ballroom where the event was held. At the door Arthur greeted them with a smile.

Arthur Sanjaya is a handsome twenty-seven-year-old man who works as the driver of the Adijaya family. He has a friendly, patient and loving attitude towards others especially to his family. Both her parents worked as domestic assistants and gardeners at Mara's house.

" Take my daughter's hand to my son-in-law! Don't you ever let go after I hand over my daughter to you." Said Mr. Adi giving Mara's hand to Arthur.

" With all my body I promise you, sir, I will take care of and protect Miss Mara. I'll never let go of Miss Mara no matter what, unless Miss Mara herself asks for it." Said Arthur.

" Good luck." Said Mr. Adi.

Arthur holds Mara's hand to the ijab qobul table. The guests stared at the two. They seem fascinated by the beauty and good looks of the two brides who will say a sacred promise to each other in front of the ruler.

Arthur and Mara sit opposite Mr. Adi and the ruler. Arthur shook Adi's hand and uttered the qobul ijab in a loud voice.

" I accept the marriage and marriage of Tamara Adijaya bint Adijaya Prayoga with the dowry paid in cash." Said Arthur.

" How about witnesses? Right?" Ask penghulu.

" Legit."

" Thank God."

After the ijab qobul event, the event continued with the reception. Arthur and Mara were put on display as kings and queens a day in front of the pelaminan. Many congratulations and blessings given by the invited guests.

" Happy dear, now that you've officially become Arthur's. One message Papa gave you, love and respect Arthur as you love and respect him. Papa's obligation to you has officially passed to Arthur dear. If you hurt her, it's the same way you hurt Papa. Papa always pray that you may be happy." Said Mr. Adi hugging his beloved daughter.

I don't know why Mara feels every one of her papa sayings has so much meaning.

Mara looked at Arthur and vice versa. Arthur smiled at her sweet smile.

" I'm sorry Pa. I can't fulfill what Papa said. My love is only for Aldo, and forever will be like that. After I get an explanation from Aldo, I'll decide whether I'll stay with Arthur's bang or leave him." Mara said in her heart.

" I'll always try to make you reciprocate my feelings all this time Mara. I will shower you with the love and affection I have so that you will stay by your side forever." Arthur said in his heart.

" I'm sorry dear Papa, Papa has to do all this for your own good, Mara. There is no man as good as Arthur. Only Arthur loves you, loves you and is ready to dedicate his life to you sincerely. Papa's sure that someday you'll understand what Papa's doing right now." Inner lord Adi.

What the hell is going on? Look forward to the answer in the next chapter.
