WEDDINGS

The day slowly goes on. urging a future that is getting in front of the eyes. And leave the past behind. The wheel of life kept going. Penetrate every second, minute and hour, bringing all creatures to open the gate that is already in sight.

The morning looked bright. Maybe as bright as the heart of Rifky and Dewi who will soon hold his marriage contract. In fact, two more days the marriage took place.

All preparations are done. The wedding dress and dress stay in use. Tratak (marriage tent) and all the needs seem to have been installed. Even musical accompaniment began to echo accompanying guests who began to arrive.

Seen at Rifky's place, Rifky dressed neatly welcomed his guests. Congratulations and the gift began to pile up. While the guests really boomed to make the young sinomans look overwhelmed.

While in the place and residence of the Goddess was no less crowded. Seen with kebaya Muslim style clothing complete with a veil enveloped the body of the Goddess. To his left, Agus and Wati ma'am smiled to welcome their guests. While on his left there was a Mr. Rudi and Missi also accompanied the Goddess.

The happy atmosphere is covered in both families.

"Congratulations boy, soon you'll catch up with us. May later become a family of Sakinah mawadah warahmah." Said Cahyo who was accompanied by the wife who is now pregnant with whom else if not Nani.

"Thank you boy, amen ya rabb." Rifky who soon hugged Cahyo. A sense of haru and disbelief spilled in that embrace.

"I still can't believe this is boy." Rifky.

"It's been, it's all been going. Just be grateful because all this is just the mystery of the creator." Said Cahyo while rubbing Rifky's back. "What time's the wedding boy?"

"Hour 10:00 at the house of Dewi boy. You and Nani are present." Pinta Rifky while taking off her embrace.

"We must be present." Said Cahyo steady.

Long story short, that afternoon accompanied by his brother-in-law, Rifky went to the house of the Goddess. To stay and prepare for the wedding ceremony so that it is not too late tomorrow when the wedding ceremony is held.

Before leaving, Rifky looked to greet everyone who was there and take care of his wedding, from the elderly, family, mother of the cook mother to young mudi sinoman. He asked for a prayer of blessing and a prayer of fluency for his show tomorrow. This is usually done by a man who wants to go to his partner's place. It's an amazing tradition.

After that tradition, Rifky left.

On the way there was a tense look on Rifky's face. His heart is beating fast. Sweat started to come out of the pores of his skin. Seeing that, his sister-in-law gave a little encouragement and advice to calm Rifky's heart. He assured me that everything must go well.

Rifky tried to stay calm. He's trying to control himself. But the sense of dag dig dug was even more when the court of the house of the Goddess began to appear. And it became when the feet began to enter the entrance gate made of janur.

"It seems that this father is nervous" Tegur Pak Rudi who made Rifky immediately rushed over to him and kissed the back of Rudi's hand.

Rifky was finally entered by being held by Mr. Rudi. He greeted all who welcomed him. It was like looking for someone. Mr. Rudi who realized it immediately whispered," Since you came he was immediately hidden in the room to prepare for the widodaren night. Patience tomorrow will also be satisfied you look at him hehehe."

Rifky seemed to blush in shame, visible from his reddened cheeks.

The day starts late at night. Rifky was sitting in his room with two people. One of the kaka-in-law who has pules in the dream world and the other is Rudi who is listening to Rifky wiridan. While Rifky himself was thinking solemnly.

After midnight arrived, it appeared that Wati and Desi maam were hugging Dewi together.

"Tomorrow you will marry me. Are you happy nduk?" Tanya Bu Wati and Missi almost simultaneously.

"The goddess is happy ma'am, very happy." A happy smile also filled the room that soon turned silent because the occupants had slept in the dream.

Similarly in the room where Rifky rests. It seems that Rifky and Rudi have followed Rifky's sister-in-law to dreamland. They slept soundly until morning picked them up.

The sun wakes up and welcomes the world, while the goddess of coolness penetrates the gap making the leaves dance. The light appears to break through a small hole giving rise to a beautiful line of light. Birds also sing along to add to the atmosphere of the morning was complete.

That day in the morning seemed to go very fast for a Rifky. Because, He seemed to have just woke up now sat in front of several witnesses and in front of a ruler. And without as if he realized, the marriage contract event was taking place.

"Monggo nak Rifky." Said the ruler made Rifky aware of his daydream.

Steady but a little nervous, "I accepted the marriage and marriage of Dewi maharani bint setyo with the mascawin in cash."

"How are witnesses legitimate?" ask the ruler who was in unison answered legitimately by the audience. But it has not been time that the ruler said Alhamdulillah arrived, arrived, and,

"Not yet pengghulu." That voice was none other than the newly arrived Cahyo.

Laughter and jokes also make Rifky even groggy until the second pronunciation,,,,

"I marry you brother Rifky Dimas Eka bin Sholeh with sister Dewi maharani binti setyo with dowry a set of prayer tools, money worth 10 million and gold 10 grams paid in cash." Said the feathers steady." Monggo nak Rifky."

"I, I, I just follow what pak penghulu says." Nervous Rifky said instead inviting laughter. Until all the audience including Cahyo and pak Penghulu laughed at Rifky's silliness. People who are usually authoritative it turns out to lose face with a ruler.

"Repeated once again yes Rifky. Relax, don't be groggy. You didn't bite." The words of the hulu suddenly even made those present have to laugh again. But this actually makes a Rifky feel more confident and even less groin. All is evident when the pronunciation of the third qobul ijab Rifky smoothly pronounces it.

Now!!!!!!!!

"Alhamdulillah," said pak penghulu in following the witnesses present.

After the ijab qobul is finished and has been closed to prayer, now is the time for the bride to be present in the middle of the event and accompany Rifky who has been legally her husband.

All eyes were on the Goddess. The goddess looked beautiful and graceful as an angel walked slowly towards Rifky and sat beside her.

In the welcome of Rifky's hand then kissed the back of the hand then, slowly Rifky kissed the forehead of the Goddess. Everyone present seemed to be smiling.

They both officially became a couple.

After the event was finished, now Rifky took the hand of the goddess to walk greet everyone who was in the house of the Goddess as Rifky did before coming yesterday. The only difference is now they both with the philosophy of asking for a blessing prayer for their household ark.
