I realized when pak pengulu held tightly to my hand. A thrilling moment for me, I had to say the khobul ijab as a handover between me and Nia.
I saw my mom and dad smiling. The penghulu said the khobul ijab was witnessed by several witnesses. After the penghulu uttered, I also welcomed what my master said.
I say the khobulnya ijab. Without a word wrong. I was surprised what I said, too. I remember the full name of the girl I married.
When I finished saying the holy word, the roar of the word legitimate echoed in this house. With the right words the witness said. So at this very moment, Nia and I are a couple who are legal in the eyes of religion and where the law.
I try to accept this harsh reality. Bittersweet in my heart and feelings, but I don't know what this girl beside me is feeling. Maybe he was happy, because all this time I knew he always wanted to be close and be a part of my life.
POV Rania
I dare not look into the eyes of Mr. Rama when I see me. But anyway, there's a sense of happiness in my heart tonight. What else when Mr. Rama uttered the khobul ijab in front of the penghulu and witnessed by several pairs of witnesses.
My heart grew happier when the legitimate word the witness said. My mom and dad were smiling happily. The happiest thing is me now. I am happy to be the wife of the one I love. Even though the person I love may not be happy marrying me.
But for now, I want to forget that Mr. Rama does not love me. What is important to me now, I have tied Mr. Rama with a sacred rope.
Mr. Rama then put a ring on my ring finger. A very beautiful dowry ring is now coiled around my ring finger. Then replace me who squeezed the wedding ring in the sweet day of Mr. Rama. Then, lazily Mr. Rama kissed my forehead.
I'm happy, maybe this is the dream I've been waiting for so long. Although my wedding was very simple, there was no reception. But I feel happy, because that way, I can be closer to Mr. Rama. I will pursue his love, Mr. Rama, at any time.
"Happy baby, don't disappoint papa. Be a good wife's son, and never fight your husband" my father told me.
I just cried the same thing papa said. The tears just fell, without me preventing it.
We shook hands, I first greeted my parents and Rama shook hands with his parents. Now, I shake hands with his parents and Mr. Rama with my parents.
"Beauty, now the duty of the mother as a mother who takes care of all the needs of Rama has moved to your hands. You are the one who replaces your duty now, mama is sure you can be the best companion for your child," said mama Pak Rama when I shake hands with him.
"Yes Nia, we believe you can be the best girl. And we are also sure, Rama will turn warm when he is with you," he said.
I just smile behind the tears that come down my cheeks. Both of his parents hoped for me. It makes me very excited to make Mr. Rama fall in love with me.
Finished hands, as a custom that is still thick in our family. I have to come home with a groom who is none other than my current husband.
The car is parked in front of the house. It's been ready since I didn't get out of the room. All my stuff has been put in the car since. I brought only a few things that were important to me. Because there, he said everything was prepared.
So, I don't have to bring much stuff to my house.
