The day that awaited has arrived. The day on which Nadeo will perform a marriage contract or commonly also called ijab qabul. A day that will also release his bachelor status, even if not with the woman he loves.
After ijab qabul takes place, it is legal! Nadeo assumed great responsibility as a priest in the household. Taking care of the wife, supporting inner birth and other rights that must be borne.
White wedding clothes worn by Nabila, as well as natural makeup polish add a graceful impression on the face of Nabila. She looks different and looks more beautiful than usual.
The wedding of Nadeo and Nabila was done simply. It was attended only by the immediate families of Nadeo, Pakde and Bude, and the marriage witnesses.
Nadeo and Nabila sat next to each other, while Pakde sat opposite Nadeo with hands shaking the sign will hold a qabul ijab.
"Ananda Nadeo Arga Winata I married and I married Nabila Maharani bint Muhammad Asnawi with a dowry of 10 grams of gold ring and a set of prayer tools paid in cash!" Said Pakde lantang.
"I accept the marriage and the marriage of Nabila Maharani bint Muhammad Asnawi with the dowry in cash!" Nadeo replied loudly with a single breath.
"How are the witnesses legitimate?"
"Well!!"
"Barakallahu...... " People also read prayers and were observed by everyone in the event.
After finishing reading the prayer, Nabila greeted Nadeo who is now her legal husband.
The marriage contract was completed at the home of Ms. Ningrat who was decorated with simple shades of all white.
Now proceed to the photo session event, which is done with the family.after that a simple meal that has been provided.
From the start of the event to the end, Nadeo did not even show her sweet smile. Nadeo seemed indifferent to the event he lived.
Event finished. Pakde and Bude also say goodbye to return to the village. Nadeo and Nabila deliver to the front gate of the house.
"Pakde and Budemu say yes?" Pamit Pakde's.
Nadeo and Nabila nodded after greeting the two. In his heart Nabila felt heavy to release Pakde and Budenya. His longing is not satisfied to be treated, it still wants to beemanja-manja with both.
"Pakde titip Nabila ya Deo, please take care of him. please love him, because here he does not belong to anyone." Pimta Pakde with a smile.
"God willing to go." Nadeo Sahut
"We're leaving, huh? Remember Bil Pakde's message now that you're Nadeo's responsibility, obey him, maintain his dignity, respect him as your husband." Pakde's message before finally getting into the taxi.
This two-story house is a house that will be occupied by Nabila now. Nabila's goods have been moved from the cost here.
Now nabila is a wife who has the responsibility of serving the husband, is not a girl who is free to go anywhere.
...****************...
Tonight is the first night. A night that is usually awaited by newlyweds in general. Either way it will apply to Nadeo and Nabila.
After dinner together, all returned to their respective rooms, including Nabila. Nadeo had already returned to the room while Nabila after finishing up in the kitchen and washing dishes had just climbed to the second floor to his room.
Nabila seemed to feel awkward when entering the room, because only this time Nabila was with a man in a room, and just alone.
Nabila walked slowly and sat on the edge of the bed to the back of Ndeo who was sitting leaning on his bed. Nadeo looks very busy with the device in his hand.
Nadeo glanced at Nabila at a glance, "Don't be in my bed!" Tegur Nadeo with a tone of annoyance and dislike. Hate more precisely.
Nabila turned her face to look at Nadeo, was Nadeo really talking to him? If yes, indeed Nabila did not understand Nadeo's intentions, should not Nabila indeed sleep one bed with Nadeo. Now they are legal to be husband and wife, then where is the fault?
"Are you deaf? Or don't understand what I mean?" Nadeo asked annoyed as if mocking, "I remind ya Bil, on paper we are legitimate as husband and wife. But here, I'm only forced to marry you because of Mama's wishes. So no need to serve me like a husband, I don't need that!" Nadeo ketus.
When silent. It hurts! It was so painful, those words came out of the mouth of the person he had loved all this time. The person he had been flattering turned out to reject him, and did not accept this marriage that was being lived.
"How should I go?" Tanya Nabila with a soft and small Nabila voice, barely audible in the ears.
"Sleep on the couch!"
Who really sleeps on the couch? Why could he be that hard? At least let her sleep in bed, and Nadeo sleep on the couch. Though in the novels that Nabila often read, if the man is desperate to get married because he is betrothed, the man who sleeps on the sofa, and let the woman sleep in bed. But this is the opposite. This is reality.
"Be reasonable in front of Mama like a married couple in general. I don't want Mama to be suspicious, then know all this and be sad." Said Nadeo flat.
Nabila was silent for a moment, digesting everything Nadeo said. Then Nabila got up from Nadeo's bed to the sofa, this is where Nabila will sleep.
Nabila felt very deep disappointment, the marriage he dreamed of did not seem to go as expected.
How is the journey ahead?
