Love Me, Forget Him!

CALD. An unwanted marriage

"Can't be so Om, I'm innocent. It's all her fault !" jolt Emely.

Dani tightened her jaw, did the woman think she agreed to that? No, he's just lazy to argue. Especially with the people who play the game.

"Em, please understand that every village has rules. You've broken the rules here, take responsibility! We'll talk about the solution later," his papa said, there's nothing he can think of. His head had too many thoughts so he could not think clearly.

"But Pa," said Emely.

"Em, believe me everything will be fine" said Vino. Emely was speechless, it seemed like she had to try to accept everything that happened.

"Asalamualaikum," said Mr. Kiai who had just entered, then shook hands with everyone gathered inside the village office.

"Waalaikumsalam," they answered in unison. Mr. Kiai sat down and let out a long sigh, determining a justice is very difficult.

Mr. Kiai has heard the story of Emely and Dani from Pak Lurah. And to decide a decision must be with some consideration.

"It is also hard if in reality you do nothing and must accept this punishment, but the rules here are like that. So, to keep you safe from the citizens, we and the village devices decided to keep you married. Just take wisdom. Perhaps God has destined this path for you to worship so soon. Marriage is worship, so do not be considered a burden" said Mr. Kiai.

Dani and Emely stare at each other with eyes that somehow glare. Emely closed his eyes. What kind of marriage? The marriage she didn't want at all with that accursed human.

Dani let out a long sigh, her dream of marrying Asifa. Beautiful women are good, polite and clever like Nada, but why should I even get a woman like Emely who is not special at all?

"I agree, if this is all that can be done, I agree" replied Pradikta.

Emely let out a long sigh and looked towards her papa. Papa Pradikta rubbed Emely's shoulder and nodded slowly.

"Bismilah, you can," said his father.

"Then you take your leave first" asked Pak Kiai.

Emely and Dani step into the toilet. Emely looked at her face in the mirror, without makeup, without makeup, now Emely only wears long-sleeved work clothes and trousers. The pasmina is white on its head. Pasmina given by pak kiai earlier.

Emely closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down who was currently so shaken.

Emely immediately came out of the toilet, she headed to the main room again. He saw Dani with his full suit had sat in front of Pak kiai.

Emely immediately stepped up and drew closer to Dani, Dani glanced at Emely. His heart beats irregularly, should I get married? With that woman? Even his new name he knew from his future father-in-law.

"Hows it? You guys ready?" tanya pak kiai and is taken by Emely and Dani.

Dani looked at Emely, a sense of sneaking into her heart. Her net refused to turn away from the sight before her. Dani immediately averted her gaze as Emely sat right beside her. For a moment they stared at each other. Finally, Pak Kiai said the wedding ijab Qobul Emely and Dani.

"Okay, we're starting. Bismillah,"

"I married and I married brother Ardani Rahardian wijaya bin Hendra Wijaya with Rakhayla Emely pradikta bint Pradikta with mascawin cash as much as Two million paid in cash" said Pak Kiai.

"I married Rakhayla Emely pradikta bint Pradikta with the dowry paid in cash,"

"How are the witnesses?"

"Well," the witnesses said at the same time even though this was the second time Dani repeated his Qobul's ijab.

Mr. Kiai recited a prayer of safety for the two brides. Emely shed her tears. A sense of haru invaded his heart. Now she has legally become the wife of Dani even though it is still serial.

Emely rubbed his face when Pak Kiai had finished reciting the prayer. Dani and Emely stared at each other, not knowing what the two were feeling. Both of them were silent without a word. Sadness, disappointment, pain, all of it spilled in his heart.

Emely, a long sigh, usually after the prayer the bride kissed her husband's hand. Does that have to be, too?

In the end, after a prayer, Emely kissed Dani's hand. Dani kisses the top of Emely's head, The two dissolve in a sacred wedding event. A strange taste spread in the hearts of both. Emely closed her eyes, I don't know what would happen.

Dani let go of her kiss and then looked up at her Papa. They were looking for his parents. After that Dani walked towards Vino. Vino, who was silent, grabbed Dani, hugged her for a moment and patted her on the shoulder.

"If it makes my sister cry, I'll finish you off" he said slowly. Dani was silent and did not respond.
