The wedding they were looking forward to finally arrived, not many came to this event, because Zahra only invited colleagues - coworkers who were familiar with him in the office.
Ken didn't invite anyone to his marriage contract. Rasta is the only friend present at this wedding ceremony, and it is because Rasta will be the guardian of Zahra.
Rasta came with Sapta's uncle who still looked dashing at his middle age. His plan would be to witness Ken and Zahra's marriage today, as he is quite a meritorious person to the Aerospace family.
Cira comes along with Dito-bocah who used to like to tease Ken and Zahra while in the orphanage - which Zahra just met again after a long time they did not meet.
Dito looks mature because he's working now. Meanwhile, Ms. Nurma could not attend because her health was not good.
"Dito?" Zahra greeted Dito who approached her.
"Yes, Brother."
"Well, you're an adult now. Oh my..." Zahra smiled happily because of the arrival of a quite special guest. How not, Dito is one of the younger siblings of the orphanage who used to often help him sell to get extra pocket money.
Then there was Lala who came with Zaki. It seems that their relationship is getting closer and Zahra feels they are a good fit.
After greeting Zahra who was in the room that was used as a dressing room, Lala and Zaki approached Ken who was now in the middle room - exactly the main room where the agreement will be implemented soon.
"Gue knows you!" chirp Ken when he sees Lala.
Lala chuckles. "Gue didn't expect you to marry Zahra!" said it.
"Wait... Where do I know you?" Ken tries to think but Zaki immediately stops Ken's activities.
"Udah. don't think! Just focus on making a deal in a minute!" said Zaki.
"Just a minute, Bang. Brother's girlfriend's face is no stranger in my eyes!" ken's words made Zaki and Lala laugh.
"Not a girlfriend, Ken!" argue Zaki down.
"But it will, right?" Ken raises - raises his eyebrows teasing Zaki.
Zaki just a ring - a short head bobble.
"Lo knows me too, right?" Ken turned to Lala.
"Who doesn't know the ice guy at Hope High School!" tease Lala and at that moment Ken immediately remembered that Lala was a friend of Zahra High School, even my friend Zahra in the white ash.
"Hahaha, I remember you!" ken said satisfied after getting an answer from himself.
"Yes, now ready - ready! Don't say your name wrong!" lala.
"No!" ken said sure.
Lala and Zaki went to the corner of the room to see the agreement that would soon be implemented.
Meanwhile, Devia does not invite many friends or relationships, because she fears the identity of Zahra and Rasta will be known to the public.
Ken and Zahra haven't seen each other since last night, although Zahra stayed at Ken's house last night, but she didn't leave the room at all. Even Zahra disabled her phone. Whether intentionally or not, Ken clearly knows this is the order from the mother for them. Ken's the wayward one is still trying - try to contact his future wife.
Surely Ken wants to negotiate again with Zahra about the terms of post-marriage that Zahra proposed. Not that Ken did not want to grant his future wife's request, but he realized that their marriage was not a game based on any conditions.
If Zahra wasn't ready, maybe he would have accepted, maybe. But not on terms - conditions that would ruin their sacred marriage vows.
Zaki patted his shoulder at a glance, gesturing a fist in the air as motivation for himself and he smiled at his cousin.
Ken also took a sitting position in front of a penghulu and Rasta as a marriage guardian. Near their position, there is also already Zaki and Uncle Sapta who will witness the wedding.
Zahra did not come out of the dressing room, she would join there when Ken had finished reading the akad-which means when they were officially a couple.
For whatever sake, Ken is feeling very nervous right now. Since night he had memorized Zahra's birth name and he was sure if he could recite the sentence akad correctly, but still could not be denied if now he felt trembling.
"Well, can we start?" Penghulu asked his willingness.
Ken nodded steadily without a word.
That penghulu seemed to give a chance to Rasta who would become a guardian. Rasta berdehem - dehem at a glance.
Rasta shook Ken's hand and smiled obliquely, as if mocking Ken. Rasta's smile was like deciphering something more or less like this.
- Rasain! I'm your brother-in-law now and you have to do what you say!- brother
"Ah, why does Rasta have to smile like that? I never thought it would be his hand that I would shake as the marriage guardian of my bride!- Inner Ken.
Rasta felt Ken's trembling hand as she shook it. Rasta held back the urge to laugh at Ken at this moment.
Rasta sighed deeply to restore her concentration.
"Bismillahhirrohmanirrohim." said Rasta sound stiff, actually he was no less nervous - just like Ken. Naturally, this was his first experience, right?
"I married and I control you, brother Kendra Winarya bin Bagas Winarya with my younger brother named Zeevana Ayudia Dirgantara bint Prayuda Dirgantara, with a dowry in the form of one house unit and a set of prayer equipment, paid in cash." Rasta snapped a glimpse of Ken's hand in his fingers.
"I accept the marriage, Zeevana Ayudia Dirgantara bint Prayuda Dirgantara with the dowry, paid in cash" said Ken loudly with one breath.
"How's witness? Right?" The voice of the ruler asked the witnesses of the marriage, after Ken said the qabul ijab.
"Well" replied the witnesses and some of the people present.
"Baarakallaahu laka, wa baarakallahu ‘alaika, wa jama’a bainakuma fii khaiir."
as prayer sounded in their hearing all.
Before long, the bride who was waiting for Ken finally arrived in the room.
Ken did not dare to look at Zahra even though he really wanted to look at the face of the woman who is now legally his wife.
After Zahra joined there and sat next to Ken, the ruler asked her to greet Ken's hand, who had officially married her.
Nervously, Zahra finally turned her head to the side and looked at Ken who was also looking at her at this moment. Their eyes collided with each other for a few seconds.
Until Ken finally reached out to Zahra and the girl endured it with reverence.
Some of the photographers present immediately captured the moment.
Then very slowly, Ken cupped the side of Zahra's face and kissed his wife's forehead with affection.
