I Love You Dr. Chicanery

First Kiss

I entered the Raya housing complex with an erratic heart. From far away it has seen a magnificent tent in white brown combination.

My heart was pounding looking at the curved yellow january that was formed like an archway a few meters before his house. Dozens of wreaths line the streets of this residential block. The house has even started to get a lot of invitations. Ouch what do they think to see the groom who has not even come yet? Soon I parked my motorcycle not far from the reception post. I wanted to pass through the reception post, but the guard fence intercepted me.

"Mas, um from Siaga Medika Hospital?"ask one of them.

I'm nodding.

"Koas too?"ask them while handing over the guest book for a quiz and sign it.

I nodded again.

"Well, same donk. We're still in obgyn, mas at what station?"

Oh, they're Raya's koas's children who are now in obgyn, I thought.

I did not answer immediately but filled my own name as a guest at my wedding.

"I-P-D" I replied using sign language.

They were astonished at my reply, spontaneously seeing the name attribute in my koas uniform and the guest book that I just quizzed. Mahfouz Alzafran.

"Mahfudz..."

I nodded before they finished their question. They must have known Mahfudz koas son of their future consul husband. After all, the entire hospital especially in obgyn knows and knows my relationship with Raya.

"Sa-ya per-mi-si du-lu" I said to them.

"Yes sir, uh yes Mas.... Duh, what's the good call?" ask his friend while I'm walking away from them.

I entered the fence of the Kingdom house and passed through several invitation chairs. Ah, the white shirt seems to be as magnetic as the bridal dress in my bag. All eyes are on me now. I try not to pay much attention to their eyes. All I need now is to take a shower first, dress up neatly and sit in front of the ruler reciting the ijab qobul. The bathroom in the koas room was being used by Bobby. If Bobby has entered the original will be long because it is so customary. I don't know what he did in the bathroom. But obviously I can't wait for her to finish from the bathroom. That's why I'm determined to come here in this shabby condition.

"As-sa-la-mu a-lai-kum" I said in greeting.

Everyone looks at me. This room has been in magic so a typical bridal room with white flower decorations and patches on each corner. Likewise with the terrace, has been installed outside as well. I looked at the pelaminan, there was no Kingdom there, where was he?

"Wa-alai-kum-sa-lam" replied Ummik and some of those who were in this room. There's Mama, Fuad, Nady and some people from my family representative of the deceased papa.

Ummik.

"Um-mik, bo-leh Mah-fudz man-di di-si-ni? many spontaneous.

"God, Mahfudz. Ummik until deg-degan. Ummik think you where, why don't you come think Ummik that" Ummik rubbed my arms feel relieved.

"This is the candidate for the bride, pak pengulu" said Ummik introducing me to all. I can only smile and nod.

"Yes, you took a shower!"tell Ummik. "Shower in the bathroom Ummik only" he said.

Ah, this Ummik seems very understanding. He didn't need my reason for being late. Soon Ummik drove me to his room. The room had a bathroom inside.

But just as I was about to enter Ummik's room, I saw the white-colored angel peeking at me from the curtain of the room right next to Ummik's room. My God, my wife-to-be is beautiful. He immediately lowered his gaze and rushed into the room. It looks like in view of the decor, it was her bridal room.

"Cie... Shameful, ye.... Brother Raya....!"said someone calling Raya who went back into the room.

"Fighting!"whispered Eve cheering while clenching her hands. Then he went into the room.

"Come, Fud! Come inside! Shower in the bathroom Ummik only, because the back bathroom again complicated. Do not take a long shower later the successor pack over time" said Ummik.

"Y-yes, Mik" I replied.

After the shower I immediately put on the gold combination white wedding dress that was delivered to me, the day we had a fight on the roof of the hospital. If you remember how angry he was at that time, I became afraid to do something that would make him disappointed again. To this day, he still holds a high profile with me, even though I know he has forgiven me.

"Mahfudz, haven't you? Come on!" this time it was my mom who took me out of the room.

I nodded and followed Mama. Sitting in front of the ruler without any Kingdom sitting beside me.

"Alright, we just start" said the pengulu father after first giving the sermon.

The one who became the guardian of marriage is his uncle. The younger brother of her deceased brother because Raya did not have any other grandfather or brother who could be her guardian of marriage.

"Ananda, Mahfudz Alzhafran bin Muhammad Abdillah, I marry and control you with the Kingdom of Efendi bint Rizal Efendi with a dowry a set of prayer tools and gold jewelry weighing 5 grams paid in cash"

I took a deep breath before answering.

"Sa-ya te-ri-ma ni-kah and her ka-win Raya E-fen-di bin-ti Ri-zal E-fen-di de-ngan mas ka-win se-rang-kat a-lat sho-lat and per-hia-san em-as se-be-rat 5 grams, in-ba-yar tu-nai" I said

"How, witness?" ask penghulu.

"Well!!!!!"answer them.

I exhaled the breath that I held earlier. Alhamdulillahot.

I'm nodding. I can't say what I think at the moment. Especially when Raya was picked up from the room to be with me. Is this a dream? This woman is now my wife?

I saw him wearing a white brocade kebaya that dangled to the ankles as well with batik subordinates approaching me and sitting next to me.

I heard Eve whisper teasing Raya "It looks like her groom is very fascinated by my best friend"

Raya pinching Eve. And I woke up to my daydream. We sit facing. I handed her dowry.

"You can kiss your husband's hand now" the prince said to Raya. Raya timidly grabbed my hand and kissed it.

Then by Mr. Penghulu, I was taught to read the prayer husband to wife. I put my hand on his head.

[O Allah, I ask for his kindness and what good Thou hast created for him. And I take refuge in Thee from his wickedness and the evil of what Thou hast created him]

Pov Raya

I'm now sitting in an outdoor gathering with Mahfudz, enjoying the musical instruments and songs of maher zain. This time we changed clothes again. I'm wearing a flower wedding dress down now while Mahfudz is wearing a black tuxedo men's wedding suit. Makes us seem to be the most compatible couple today, even though this shirt is a rental package with the guarantee and the tent. Photo sessions have also been repeatedly done continuously. The guests are getting more crowded during the day. I was tired, sitting up, sitting down again. He said the wedding party was like a queen in a day. But the queen's time this late? When it ends, God.... I think I want to sleep down.

"You ma-sih ma-rah pa-da-ku?" ask using the sign.

Stupid question. If I'm mad at you, there's no way I'm going to continue this marriage, right? Well, it's only natural to remember I haven't reprimanded him since my last chat that said he was "so cute.

"Ra-yeah...." Mahfudz took my hand.

I panicked for a moment.

"Ih, freelance Mahfudz. We saw a lot of people" I said in a panic.

"I'm me-gang ta-ngan is-tri-ku, bu-kan is-tri o-rang" he said in an innocent tone.

Ohhh... Now you have begun to show your authority to your wife yes, I said in my heart.

"I'm not mad at you, have I? Release my hand. I'm ashamed to see so many people" I complained.

"Your l-lu-lu menggil-ku Mah-fudz. I-tu ti-dak e-nak di-de-ngar, se-per-ti ka-mu ma-sih kon-su-len-ku sa-ja" he said indifferently still while still holding my hand. Even now he is stroking the back of my hand.

"Keep what do you want? I'm ashamed to see people. A lot of hospital people as well" I said as I glanced at the invited guests who were sitting in the row of seats in front of me.

"I'm ti-dak ma-lu" he said. "Pang-gil a-ku sa-yang. A-tau a-ku bi-sa kisses you on si-ni.." she points at her own forehead.

"Di-si-ni.." she pointed again at her cheek.

"L-you're at...." Mahfudz did not continue his words. But he bit his lips. But I know what that means.

"Get my hand off, baby! There's a lot of people here" I'm frustrated.

He chuckled, looking pleased and released his grasp of his hand. Goddamnit! He just wanted to tease me.

When the adzan dzuhur reception activities are stopped for a moment. Even so our bride still has to carry out the obligation of prayer to the Khalik. We decided to pray together only in the room so we can rest for a while, while others in the mini musholla that is made Ummik for congregational prayer.

While in the room I immediately opened my hijab and removed my makeup with a make up remover. I immediately ablaze. By the time I got out of the bathroom Mahfudz was waiting to take turns taking ablution. My heart was pounding as he looked at me without a head covering like this. Am I not now his wife? Earlier in the kidnapping, she also saw me without a hijab. While in the sanitize room before the surgery, he also saw my arm open up to the elbow while sterilizing my hand. Why is it still so shameful to God.

Soon I put on my face waiting for him to finish ablution. Then we prayed together even though with an awkward heart. After the congregational prayer I kissed her hand trying to get used to it when I was married.

I'm just gonna get out of my seat. When Mahfudz pulled me and forced me back to sit cross-legged. After that he put his head on my lap.

"Se-ben-tar sa-ja, bi-ar-kan a-ku ti-dur. Cu-ma 10 me-nit sa-ja. I'm so fucking sleepy" he said.

We were still on this prayer mat, and I was still wearing my face as she fell asleep on my lap. Looks like a tired face. The koas in the IPD seemed to make him lose a lot of energy. There was even a speck of sweat on his clean face. It seems like he is sleep deprived.

I ventured to gently stroke her hair. Touching a little of his eyelashes. The perfect work of God is on this face.

The sound of the door opening, I was like a thief caught stealing candy. Ummik gawking from behind the door. Stunned to see Mahfudz sleeping on my lap.

"There's a Professor coming in front" whispered Ummik. "You meet first, Ray!"

"Yes, Ummik for a moment" I whispered as I pointed at Mahfudz who was seen sleeping to sweat.

Ummik seems to understand. He closed the door and left the two of us in the room.

I have to see the professor first. Not polite if you don't see the Professor immediately. Who knows, he still has some important business after my wedding.

I moved Mahfudz's head from my lap to the prayer mat slowly and carefully. But he seems to realize it. He pulled my neck so close to his face. A gentle kiss landed on my lips. Spontaneously I covered my mouth with my hands. God, that was my first kiss after living for 30 years on this earth.

"Su-dah ku-bi-lang, ja-ngan ba-ngun-kan a-ku du-lu, I'm sleepy." Said
