The day the Jayanatra family awaited has arrived. Although in a weak state Ave still run a series of Javanese customs in his marriage to Salim. Ambar was unable to hold back his tears when he saw Ave standing together at the temple with Salim.
"What is maneh anyway, Nduk?" Eyang Uti held Ambar's shoulder.
"It's okay, Mother. Ambar was just happy. Finally Ave got married" she said, wiping away her tears.
"Wes apus your tears, Nduk. Happy day though. Aja is crying."
"Yes Ma'am," Ambar replied and gave a smile to Aveliena who saw him.
Salim looks dashing with traditional Javanese bridal clothes and Aveliena who wear ivory white kebaya. During the unrelenting pelaminan Salim noticed Ave who was getting tired.
"Daddy, if you're tired. Better just rest in the room," said Dian who has become his sister-in-law.
"It's okay, Sister Dian. Ave can still," Ave said weakly.
"Your face is pale, Dek. You sure?" dian asked again because he saw Ave who was beside him had started to sweat.
"Ave believes Mbak," said Ave held back his fatigue.
Finally, after almost an hour of listening to the guests. Ave gave up and said goodbye to her room because of fatigue and weakness.
"Cah Ayu, wes turu ae yo. Aja melu-melu nyalami guests." Eyang Yaya was also worried about seeing the condition of his grandson.
"Yes Eyang," answered the weak Ave who was immediately carried by Salim.
"I'm sorry Ave, Lim."
"For what, Ave?" salim asked as he lowered Ave from his sling.
"Because Ave's sick."
"It's okay, Ve. We all know your condition."
Ave notices Salim opening his slop and helps release all the attributes in Ave's head. Without any awkward feeling even when Salim took it off. Salim laid Ave's body down and covered her.
"Rani Ayu, you accompany Ave here, yes," Salim pinta told his two friends.
"OK ready commander," they said in unison.
"Oh yes Rani. If you are hungry. Just take it in the kitchen, yes," said Salim who made Rani happy.
Rani immediately showed her thumb and smiled happily. After Salim passed from before them. Rani and Ayu let Ave sleep.

Ave's Pov
It should have been a happy day, but it was actually lying in the room. I was very tired and felt dizzy while shaking hands with the guests. Finally I gave up and asked permission to Father and Mother because my body could not be cooperated with.
The sun was gone when I woke up. The house was empty because all the guests were home. I began to feel hungry and would be about to get off the bed when I realized that I was no longer wearing a bridal kebaya. I'm wearing pajamas. Who changed my clothes? Can't be Salim?
Could be angry at Eyang Uti.
"Mbok's replacing her clothes, miss." Mira suddenly went into the room.
"Ih mbak Mira makes it surprising," I'm annoyed that seeing Mbak Mira without feeling guilty playing come in.
"Don't you think Salim is replacing Miss's clothes? It's impossible" Mira said jokingly.
"Yes Ave knows. You're angry, right?" My story.
"Have come down, Non. It's been awaited all the same," asked Mira holding my arm.
"Later locked non room. Don't like to leave the room open."
"But Ave is scared, Mira."
"There's Salim looking after the lady." Chortled.
Oh, yeah I forgot that I'm a wife now. It means I no longer have to leave the door open. There was Salim who took care of me of course.
"Hayo why smile to yourself? Imagine what?"Goda Mbak Mira.
"What the hell is this Mira?" I sawot hear it.
"Was Ayu wes tangi?" eyang Yaya asked to see me coming down the stairs.
"Yes eyang. I'm sorry Ave's tired of being her--." Speech interrupted.
"Mboten napa-napa, Nduk," said Uti Patient.
"No idea what a spoiled father's son who cries when teased by his friend is now married" Father's tease made me blush in shame.
"And it was unexpected that the little boy who kissed Ave's cheek was Salim." Jaka's father embarrassed me even more.
Everyone laughed in light of that happy time.
"This father embarrassed Salim." Salim endured the embarrassment of his childhood.
"Stupid's not going anywhere, Jaka." Father's laughter.
"That's right, Brata. Who would have thought if we became besan now," continued Jaka's father.
"That's enough dad. This father is happy to tease Salim."
Jaka's father laughed happily, not least Dad and Eyang Yaya. Me and Salim are mosquito repellents. All were silent for a moment as we were glared at by eyang Uti. Yes, this Uti eyes interfere with pleasure only.
"Wes bengi's. Aja rame-rame, Le," said Eyang Yaya from the kitchen.
"High mother," replied the father, holding back his laughter.
"Yes let Salim and Ave sleep now. Tomorrow Ave has to be campus," Jaka's father told us.
We obeyed father's words and asked permission to rest. Before I go up the stairs. Dad called Salim.
"Sir Salim, thank you for everything, yes."
Salim nodded and smiled while holding my hand.

Salim's Pov
I don't know what kind of feeling this was when we got into the room. Usually sleep alone now I will sleep with the person I love. Ave was just silent on the edge of the bed while I was beside her. Tonight I won't do anything even though we're legally a couple. Let it slow down.
"Ave slept yuk," take me up to the bed."
"Oh, yes yes," he stuttered.
"Why Ve?"
"Hmm ... is Salim sure he wants to sleep now?" tanyanya polo's.
"Yes of course, Ve. Salim was sleepy," I said as I patted her on the pillow, asking her to lie down.
Basic Ave. Who wouldn't want to do that after marriage? But I have to see also Ave's condition.
"Come Ave. Remember tomorrow you have to go to college" take me once more.
Finally somewhat stiffly he laid down his body as well. We stared at each other's ceiling. Thinking of each other's thoughts.
"Salim ...." Call her quietly without looking at me.
"The salim is asleep, huh? ask again.
"Yet. Ave wants what?"
"No need for anything. Ave's still not sleepy."
"here." I stretched out my hand and put his head over mine.
"Singing the song that Salim used to sing when we were little dong," pinta spoiled.
"Did Ave miss that song?" A song full of memories between me and Ave.
"Yes." Yeah."
"It's been a long time since we've sung that song."
"Salim will sing the song. Ave has to sleep."
There is no lawfulness. Her soft snoring made me know she was asleep. I kissed her forehead because her face was so close to me.
I hope tonight doesn't end. Let me hold her forever every night. With all the shortcomings that he had did not make my love less. Keep praying to Him that my little lady will always be given His protection.
"Good night and good night, my little lady."
End
Finally the story ends. I'm not talking about this story any longer. Enough to get here.
It would not have been the heart if I had to write this story down to the nitty-gritty. Let it walk as it is.
Greetings
