"Pa," said Aska slowly. Her eyes began to glaze over. "i love Leka so much, I-I have to marry her. With Monique, I'll be responsible for marrying her." He glances at Monique and her parents, who are waiting for a decision from Chris' family.


"Mk." Chris snorted in annoyance displaying a hint of stifled laughter. "Do you think Leka would listen to your idea?" He tried to hold back his emotions even though his eyes began to turn red with anger.


Aska touched Chris' arm slowly. "Pa, let me talk to Leka. I-he would have listened and accepted my decision, Pa. She's a gentle woman. Help me this time Pa ...." He begged.


"What if he doesn't want to?"


Aska got out of her chair and sat down in front of Chris. He slowly touched the man's knee. "Pa, please ...."


Inside the mosque, people are still waiting for the arrival of the groom who was supposed to come 30 minutes ago. They began to boisterously question his delay while signs of his arrival were also not there.


Leka started to get nervous and confused. Kenzo also looks hesitant with the box in his hand while Arya just pay attention to it. Penghulu was also nervous because he had to be somewhere else, immediately, while the Clouds, assistant Chris was also confused because repeatedly called Chris but not raised. He became the manager of Aska's wedding ceremony at the mosque.


Leka glanced at Runi beside her and then hugged her. Only the little girl could temporarily eliminate her uneasiness. Kenzo also saw Runi. He smiled to see the little girl was happy to see the crowd that contained people he knew from Leka's relatives. Some mothers or young women of Leka's relatives reprimanded Runi for knowing him while living in the village first.


Aska, where is he going? Why doesn't it show up? What's wrong with him? Is he not fooling Leka, right? Leva ... Kenzo looked at Leka with pity. Did I just apply for it?


"Oniichan, that's a wedding ring huh?" His sister Aiko, leaning towards Kenzo, passes through Arya's body.


Leka accidentally sees Aiko talking to Kenzo and sees the man clutching a small box.


After glancing at Leka, Aiko who asked made Kenzo surprised. Let alone seeing Leka looking at him with a box in hand. He immediately hid the box beside his body.


"Sister, really Brother?" tanya Tama who was sitting in the back approached.


Arya smiled seeing Kenzo's sisters curious.


"Eh, mmh ...." Kenzo's a little hard to explain.


"Lamar aja Kak, Ma'am Lekanya. Aska's sister didn't come!" whispered Tama casually.


"You're an Aska supporter or Jo, huh?" ledek Arya on Tama.


"I'm a supporter of Mbak Leka Yah. Pity Lekanya if not become married. Don't know why Aska hasn't come yet."


"Me too" said Aiko.


"If I applied, how did Askana come?" Kenzo unconsciously spoke. After that, his face was red. "Eh, I mean ...."


"Terserah Mbak Lekanya. Why else would you be afraid of rejecting it, brother? Male, invulnerable rejected. Rejected, search again" Tama replied patting her chest.


Arya immediately pulled out Tama's ears. "Eh, is school still dating? Same who?" His eyes are perfectly round.


Aiko laughs. "Thankoratin ...." He clapped his hands.


"Additional ... No. Well, no ... Just a theory, yeah." Tama touched her ear in Arya's jewer.


Aiko was laughing. Mariko just smiled knots with her father to see the behavior of her children.


Leka saw the hubbub of the Aryan family from afar. Just then, Kenzo looked towards Leka and started glancing back at the box that was in her palm. Leka looked at the box from afar and was curious but she could not go anywhere.


Am I lammarin', huh? He had not done anything yet, the bride's car came. Everyone stared out of the mosque. Kenzo hid the box.


Chris got out of the car but was alone. He entered the mosque and circulated the sight of looking for someone. "Oh, Kenzo!" He's approaching.


Kenzo surprised.


"Why you?" Chris looked at Kenzo's hand that was cast.


"Oh, he was in an accident a few days ago Da," Arya told.


"Oh, why didn't you tell me?"


"Oh, there's no Da yet. Because at home, I'm waiting for him."


"Oh, so. Mmh, come with me." Chris pulled up Kenzo's arm and saw the box in his hand. "What's this?" He immediately took it.


Kenzo looks panicked, especially Chris immediately opened it. The bule man glanced at Kenzo.


"O-om, I can explain ...."


"Come with me!" Chris pulled Kenzo's hand back. "You're Arya too, I need you." He called Arya with his finger.


They came to the table for kabul ijab.


Pengghulu sir came to them. "How Sir? The bride is getting married?" He remembers Chris but doesn't see Aska.


"So sir, I'd like to talk first." Chris called the Clouds. "Please hold the forerunner, I'm talking."


"Oh, yes sir." The clouds immediately came to the forerunner.


"Wait a minute, will you?" Chris stood up again and went to Leka, asking the woman to sit in the place of the kabul ijab.


Although confused Leka according. He handed Runi to Ani and walked to the table with the help of a relative holding his long veil back so as not to be stepped on or stuck while walking.


Chris directed Leka to sit next to Kenzo. Arya, Kenzo and Leka look in wonder at Chris. The bule man began to sit between them and docked.


Leka glanced at Kenzo, surprised.


"A-a-I can explain Om." Kenzo's face was pale.


"I want you to be honest with me."


Kenzo looked straight at Chris. "Yes ...."


"Don't blame her Da because I brought her." said Arya. "That may be an old story but I want him to be more daring to act, that's why I brought the box."


"You are ...." Chris nudged Arya on the shoulder with his arm. "Don't teach a child who isn't right. If there is a bond, it cannot be decided unilaterally. That's not fair, his name. The promise of marriage is the same as the contract, must both parties decide, only true."


Leka and Kenzo looked at each other, confused, and then looked at Chris. They did not know what fate awaited them ahead.


"Leka," Chris looked at Leka. "I set you free, I set you free. Aska I don't think I can marry you because she's needed by another woman, unless you want to be her first wife or second wife."


Arya, Kenzo and Leka were shocked to hear that.


"There is ... someone else?" ask Arya not to believe it.


"Well, Kenzo. If you still want to propose to Leka, please ..."sajar Chris pushed the small box in front of the Japanese man who was staring at Chris. "Maybe get married today, huh?" He blinked his eyes at Arya.


"What?" Kenzo now rounded his eyes perfectly.


"Oh, yes. If they want it ..." said Arya again.


Kenzo can now actually propose to Leka without a hitch. Did this really happen? Then how to start? Kenzo swallowed his saliva. Slowly, he took the ring box, then looked at Leka. The woman timidly dropped her gaze down.


Kenzo closed his eyes and thrust the ring box in front of Leka. He was really afraid to hear the answer. "Le-leka .. will you marry me?" He stammered inquiring without daring to look.


Silent. Kenzo's waiting. He did not know that was being colonized by Chris and Arya. They gave Leka the code not to answer him before the Japanese man opened his eyes.


Because long ago, Kenzo, opened his eyes. Leka who was smiling sweetly at him finally replied as well. "Yes." Yeah."


"Oh, Leka. You scared me ...." Kenzo stroked his chest while still grasping the ring box. His heart began to subside after beating uncomfortably.


Guests who saw that, cheered and applauded. It turned out that the event applying for Kenzo was witnessed by many people. The faces of Leka and Kenzo met red because of it.


Leka's relatives agreed to Kenzo's proposal until the wedding was soon to take place. Leka returned to his position, sitting with his kinsmen while Kenzo sat opposite Leka's uncle. Chris served as a witness and witnessed the wedding. Kenzo who read the marriage vows from his cellphone, said it correctly greeted by Leka's uncle until the kabul happened. Penghulu declares legitimate.


Guests clapped a lot, and cheered when Leka was again juxtaposed with Kenzo. Kenzo's countless happy faces. Like getting a crumbling durian, in an instant Leka had become his wife. Truly a miracle of the almighty.


"Come kiss his wife!" shouted one of the guests, greeted another laugh, but then the ruler reminded not to make a scene in the mosque. The atmosphere is calm again.


Kenzo wants to try it. He wanted to kiss his wife's forehead but was blocked by a cast in his hand. "Aah!" upset ass.


Leka laughed a little. "It's Brother." He slightly lowered his head close to Kenzo's face.


"Mmh?" The man immediately kissed Leka's forehead, gently. He could feel his woman was real. He was not dreaming and they were husband and wife.


The woman raised her head and their eyes met. Only then do they look happy.


"I'm saying yes?" Chris says goodbye to Arya.


"Who is fast Da?"


"The Aska mission is not finished. Ok?" Chris said it with a smile.


Arya could feel Chris was getting into serious trouble with Aska. He is also sorry. "Hopefully finish it soon Da."


"Thank you."


"I should have said thank you to Uda for marrying my son and also harming Uda. I know Aska loves Leka very much and this party was supposed to be for her. I don't know what it would be like if he knew Leka was married to Kenzo."


"It's okay. All must pass, nothing cannot." Chris patted Arya on the shoulder. As he leaves the mosque, Kenzo chases after the bule man.


"Om, wait!"


"Yes?"


"Thank you Om" said Kenzo gasping.


Chris approached. "Can Om said, Om is very happy to marry you to someone, and Om's prayer is answered."


"But Aska ...."


"If you keep feeling bad for me, you can't step into the future. Aska, she has her own destiny. Leka without you, somehow her life. Don't doubt what you choose because you only live once. Then be happy."
