Marsha's Wedding

Everyone present at Marsha's wedding. Agree that the bride and groom are very compatible.

The groom, handsome, spread his charming smile. Happiness comes from both the bride and groom.

Marsha wrapped in traditional Indonesian clothes. Looks very graceful. His lips are smiling. His face exuded the same happiness as the groom.

A very sad marriage contract makes those present feel overwhelmed.

All of Marsha's close friends were present except for Tania who was studying and working in New Zealand.

Ratih and his friends are not able to stem the taste of haru. The sacred atmosphere is felt when the marriage contract takes place.

Marsha is very beautiful in a kebaya brocade cream milk chocolate mixed with dark chocolate rags with black scribbles.

Her natural flawless makeup adds to her aura of beauty.

Kabul is held very sacred. Raka's voice shook holding haru.

"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Marshanda bint Maha Putra Dewa with the dowry paid in cash." Raka's voice shook.

Everyone present was amazed to hear his voice. Marsha's tears are dripping.

All those present stated that the marriage contract that took place was valid. They pray for the two brides.

After kabul ijab, Raka holds the crown of Marsha. Pray for good and ask for protection from his wife's bad.

Marsha kissed her husband's hand. Then Raka kissed her forehead softly.

The audience shakes hands and takes pictures with the two brides.

Pras does not see the trunk of his nose. Marsha and Raka's family and friends appear to be attending the wedding.

Everyone present saw that the two were so compatible. Not only their stature and appearance. Their nature and character also fill each other.

After the wedding and taking pictures. They enjoyed the dishes the host prepared.

The Marsha family provides six types of breakfast. Chicken porridge, fried rice, suture, pecel, bread and pasta.

Warm and cold milk fresh milk and chocolate. Coffee, cappuccino and chocolate drinks. Sweet tea and lemon tea are warm and cold.

While Marsha and Raka are re-created. Guests enjoy the meal while chatting.

“Ehem..”.

Ratih turned his head, “You?”

“Marsha and Raka are my underclassmen while studying abroad.”

“What?”

“Yeah, we're sekampus but another faculty. They took Humanities while I, Economics.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Raka has long loved Marsha.”

“How do you know?”

“I told you we were sekampus.”

“But different faculties?”

“Me and Raka are in the same apartment building. Besides sekampus.”

“Oh, I see. So you and Raka know pretty close?”

“Yeah. Raka has long put her heart on Marsha. But it doesn't seem to get a chance. Marsha already has a lover.”

“Pras?”

“Not. Their long distance relationship is broken. Marsha chose to live in Indonesia. Her ex-boyfriend is the opposite. A few years later Marsha had a relationship with Pras. The rest you already know the continuation.”

“Yeah, Marsha decides Pras.”

“Pras likes Tania.”

“You also know?”

“Pras, sohibku. Of course I know everything about him.”

“You came alone?”

“Yeah. You?”

“I'm with my friends.”

“Somewans in office.” Kreshna.

“Group.”

“Ok! Bunch ofwomen. The hordes sound like villains.”

“Yeah!”

“Where are your friends?”

Ratih pointed to his friends who split up choosing their breakfast.

“We always meet at weddings. I think it's a sign.”

Ratih was shaking his lips.

“You know very well, Marsha and Raka were naturally invited. Me and Marsha are one circle. You and Alicia were best friends. I know Alicia well, too. All is still reasonable.”

“I miss you.”

“I am not!”

Kreshna.

“Why are you so anti-me. You're not afraid to turn around?”

“We have done what we have to live. No more curious. We don’t match.”

“Really? I feel we are like the south and north poles.”

“Does it differ direction?”

Kreshna laughing.

“Why are you laughing. What's so funny?”

“Indeed if the north and south poles meet each other resist or pull pull?”

Ratih's face flushed.

“You know if you put wood. There will be no pull pull.” Said Radih stubbornly.

Reception begins two hours after the wedding. Marsha's makeup is thicker at the reception.  

Both chose international fashion for their recipes. Different from marriage.

At the reception, Pras was present wearing sunglasses.

Marsha clasped Raka's hand. Suddenly feeling sad. He did not mean to make Pras grieve.

He did not want to experience disappointment and heartbreak. Pras will be with Tania. Leave it. Before that happens. It was better for him to decide what was best for the three of them.

Pras will not decide. But it gives a signal that their relationship has no certainty. Drowning yourself in work. Distanced.

It is likely that Pras is at a crossroads. Between herself and Tania.

For women, it is better to marry someone who loves them than the other way around.

If there are two people, one is love but unfaithful while the other is not love but faithful. Better to choose the second.

Love if not treated will die. Instead, love will flourish if it is taken care of properly.

Marsha is the type who loves the person they marry. Not marrying the person they love.

Loyalty for him is an important foundation in building a marriage.

Feelings can change while loyalty is like something that is not weathered by rain. Not shaken by heat.

Raka who initially, he thought he knew him because of his activities led the foundation he had. It turned out to be someone who had known him for a long time and put their heart on him.

Marsha is not only amazed by Raka's concern and concern for social affairs. Except when knowing Raka keeps feelings for him for a long time.

Destiny brought them together. Maybe they were destined. Marsha who hesitated with the earnestness of Pras. Afraid Pras would betray their sacred promise. He is unable to live the consequences.

Only thirty percent of men are willing to marry their loved ones. In contrast, the percentage of women who love the person they marry is higher.

Not only will his heart be broken but his life. If Pras breaks their bond and turns to pursue Tania. Before that happens, it is best anticipated.

Raka herself betrayed her lover. Not only do they have a lot in common in nature, character and other things.  Their love story also has similarities.

Kreshna came to Pras and patted him on the shoulder.

“You will find your happiness too. Don’t worry.”

“Yeah, thanks.”

“You came to Marsha's wedding?”

“I want to see him happy.”

“Yeah. They've known each other a long time.”

“How do you know?”

“Both of my underclassmen while I was studying abroad. Raka has long liked Marsha but maybe the time has not come.”

“Wow!”

“You and Raka are very different. You always break your lover's heart while Raka's the opposite. His ex-girlfriend betrayed him. Along with when Marsha decides you.”

“You didn't mean to say they had it all planned out, did you?”

“Of course not. Both of them planned nothing. Destiny who planned and determined their togetherness.”

“To be honest, I can't choose between the two of them. I'm at a crossroads."

“Women's intuition is very sharp. When your heart is not or is not entirely on them. They'll doubt you.”

“Me and Tania are like Marsha and Raka. Have a lot of things in common.”

“Destiny will provide a way for those who are indeed outlined to be united. It will separate anyone who is determined to separate. The soul mate is one of the proofs of God's power. No worries."

"Yeah...."
