Instantaneous Sweetness

For the Baby

‘’You why are you screaming like that, son? What's up?’’ my future-in-law rushed into the room I had occupied all this time. His words were able to disperse my daydream.

‘’Ah, yes, Ma,’’ sahutku who switched staring at the wide hooded woman.

‘’Why are you? Try the story to Mama,’’ he said slowly and quietly next to me sitting. I took a slow breath and exhaled, so that my mind would calm down. I shook my head immediately.

‘’I'm just afraid that Andre—‘’ Yes, there's no way I'm saying that Nina just came here through the window door and threatened me.

‘’Iya, Mama understands, Son. But he promised Mama to take responsibility for you. So there is nothing more you have to doubt,’’ said mama Karni who rushed to cut my words. He held my finger and looked at me with a sad look.

‘’This is for Rafi, Mama's grandson,’’ he added later. I just nodded weakly, and he hugged me tightly.

‘’Still a lot huh, Ma. I want to help you,’’ I said softly when releasing a slow hug.

The middle-aged woman nodded,’’ Equally. Monik and Andre are married. Whatever your problem should be story to Mama yes.’’

‘’Don't be until later will be like Mama,’’ he added that makes me not understand.

‘’Ma—means Mama?’’

‘’Oh yes, you are ready right? Mr. KUA has been waiting,’’ said my future in-laws who diverted his words.

What does he really mean? What exactly is Mama Karni and her husband there are problems that are afflicting the household? Ow hell! Why am I thinking like this? I try to shake off all that prejudice.

‘’Monk?’’

‘’Ah Yes, Ma. In shaa Allah,’’ sahutku later. Mama's face this time was so different, like something she was thinking or hiding, but I didn't know what it was.

‘’Ya. Yuk us down!’’ bring my future-in-law. Without thinking any more I nodded and stepped outside with my mother accompanying me. Slowly I passed the level and I finally arrived on the first floor.

It looks like Andre who has been wearing a black suit, black pants, and does not forget the peci on his head. When he was dressed like this, he looked like a gentleman. He is so handsome, yet somehow my heart has not been able to accept fully after what he did a few months ago. I don't think she's going to attend this wedding, I think she's going to run away from her responsibilities. Apparently not, is this because Karni's mom forced him?

And my eyes were also fixed on the man who was very similar to papa, because the back of his seat became less clear. Is that papa? Ah, yes, he wants to attend my wedding. Turns right. It was papa, he rushed to sit next to the father of KUA. So papa wants to be my marriage guardian? Then he has mema’afkan me back? Is it because of Ayu and Mama Karni?

I sat down slowly at a distance from Andre. He just glanced at me, like he had to marry me. Before my wedding, I rushed to greet my father's hand to ask for ma’af and blessing, then hugged him with tears. Likewise with my mother, I turned to greet my mother and hugged her tightly.

***

‘’Andre bin Ardi, I marry you to my son Monika Putri binti Indra with a set of prayer tools and 10 million money paid in cash!’’

‘’I received married son Father, Monika Putri binti Indra with a set of prayer tools and money 10 million paid in cash!’’

‘’Sah?’’

‘’Sah.’’

My tears fell when I heard the word ‘’sah’’ was spoken from the lips of several witnesses. I don't know if I should be happy or sad. But at least now my baby has a father and we will live together, although in my heart this has always not been fully acceptable to Andre and there is still hatred.

I raised my hand to do’a, as well as Andre and several people present. Yes, my marriage is simple. Only a few people were present, because indeed my family and Andre's family only invited the closest people.

‘’You have become halal lovers, please to the bride be greeted first her beloved husband,’’ said the father of KUA.

Instantly I looked at the face of the man in front of me who had changed his status to my husband.

‘’Ayo dong, Monik!’’ my mother sounded. I seem to doubt. My eyes fell on the aunt holding my baby.

‘’All this for Rafi, Monik. Don't be selfish,’’ whispered Ayu. I don't know when Ayu came back here. It's not like he asked me for permission to visit his cousin who was in an accident and was taken to the hospital.

‘’Ya, this is for my baby. I can't be selfish, my inner’’ immediately looked at my baby who was being held by aunt.

I grabbed the hand of the man who had become my halal lover and kissed his hand. His gaze was only mediocre after I traced it. And not a word came out of his mouth. He just glanced at me for a moment. Unlike what I dreamed, I dreamed of marrying a man who loved me too.

Also I dreamt when the wedding was just happy tears, but it was all just a dream I could never get. Now only tears of regret and worry were present. I repeatedly guessed a circle of tears that dripped, but still fell back.

Recalling to me what Andre and I had done at the hotel, everything danced in my mind. I was so stupid. Yes, I am the most stupid woman in the world. Because love makes me unable to distinguish what is good and what is not good. As if my eyes were closed, I could no longer choose the right one.

‘’Yes Allah, I know I am the most sinful man. But forgive all the great sins I have committed and allow me to repair myself again. And may my household with Andre be sadinah, mawaddah wa rohmah.’’ I satin. I looked back at the man who had become my lover.

‘’Ahh! When courtship is so romantic even more like husband and wife, uh now already a husband and wife even kek gini become. Romance in dating turns out rarely will continue until the household, my inner’’ who is looking at him and hurry I avert my eyes.

‘’Finally my son has a father, despite deep resentment towards him who is now my husband. I can't be selfish, my son needs a father so that he is not always insulted by others and so that he gets complete affection from both parents.’’

‘’Hopefully Andre can change to a better one, hopefully he can be a good priest for me and be a good father to Rafi.’’

Seriate.
