MARRIED
S2 - The Day (II)
Happy reading 😊
***
Just like Rayyan who can not fall asleep before her wedding, Zahra also experienced it. Various ways he did in order to fall asleep immediately, but his efforts failed. Reading novels, trying to count the images of sheep on her phone screen, listening to classical music, but her mind always floated on the figure of Rayyan who would officially become her husband.
A week without seeing Rayyan really made him miss. It was very desirable that he and Rayyan made a video call to be able to see each other's faces, but both of them held back according to the request of Hetty's mother. Listening to Rayyan's voice on the phone makes the longing even more unreasonable.
Turning her back to face the opposite direction, Zahra was not even sleepy at all. Though usually he will be very easy to fall asleep after a few minutes of lying in bed, but tonight is really difficult. His mind was working, thinking about how his home life would be with Rayyan. He could not believe that he was getting married so soon.
Staring at his phone over and over again, time has now shown at one in the morning. Because there is no more message he got from the future husband since the last eleven, Zahra suspects that Rayyan has now fallen asleep. She also abandoned her intention to send a message to Rayyan because she did not want to disturb the sleep time of the man who would soon be her husband.
Desperate with her endless sleep efforts, Zahra got up from her bed and walked to her desk. Comparing the sleeping pill tablet that was given by Rafa, without thinking about it again Zahra had decided to take it. Zahra just wanted him not to get so bad drowsiness on his happy day.
Yes, this afternoon Rafa came to his house on Rayyan's emissary. Rafa is asked to take Zahra's suitcase and bring the suitcase to the house they will live in later. Rafa gave the medicine away secretly. Although the sleeping drug is indeed sold freely in pharmacies, but Rafa must feel bad if caught by others.
"Why is Rafa the one who thinks to be ready for this!" zahra snorted in annoyance while opening the medicine packaging.
After finishing with his sleeping pills, Zahra returned to her bed to prepare to go back to sleep. While waiting for the sleeping pills to work, Zahra opened her phone again. Pressing the gallery app to re-see her pre-wedding photos with Rayyan. Until finally unknowingly Zahra fell asleep and entered into the dream realm.
And that day, these two brides-to-be both woke up at noon. All families understand if both of them can not fall asleep before the happy day. Fortunately, the show started in the afternoon. If the event occurs in the morning, it is certain that Rayyan and Zahra may be fighting each other while sitting on bail.

Mama Salma moved back to Rayyan's room. Time had almost shown the lunch hour, but there had been no sign of Rayyan coming out of her room.
Mama Salma breathed a sigh of relief when she found Rayyan's bed had been neatly arranged. Shortly after Mama Salma entered the room, Rayyan came out of the bathroom with her hands busy drying her wet hair.
"Well, are you worried that Rayyan hasn't woken up yet?" ledek Rayyan while sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Well, if you're still sleeping, we'll be late for the hotel."
"There's still time, ma. My mom is calm."
"Don't like that nyepelein. We don't know what the traffic will be, if it gets badly jammed how?"
"Yes, just ask the police to make a way, ma. Keep asking to be escorted to the hotel, all right?"
"No, ma. Mama calm down anyway, from yesterday mama was nanyain hundreds of times loh. Emang Rayyan can't come back here again until mom has to keep ngingetin someone left behind or not?" rayyan said while holding back her laughter.
Rayyan recalled that when she was going to continue her studies abroad, her mother was so bothered to prepare everything. Even mama Salma to make a luggage checklist to make sure Rayyan does not forget something.
"Yes that's not it. If everything's going on, you can calm down if you need anything."
"Rayyan is great, ma. Later you can buy yourself if there is something forgetful. I'm no longer Rayyan who wants to go camp and cry because there are things that forget to be taken."
Both of them laughed, reminiscing about how Rayyan used to be when SD whined at the mother who was preparing to go home because she forgot to bring a match.
"Are you sure the clothes won't be brought again? Yesterday you only brought a little doang loh, Rayyan." asked Mama Salma when opening the closet Rayyan.
"Enough, ma. That dress made there a few days doang kok, later before leaving the honeymoon we will come first to say goodbye to take some stuff."
Mama Salma nodded her head. "The chips go downstairs and we start lunch."
"Ma...."
"Hm? Why?" mama Salma turned back around as she had walked a few steps towards the door of Rayyan's room.
Rayyan walked up to her mother, then hugged her tightly. "Maafin Rayyan if so often ngerepotin mom yes. Doain Rayyan and Zahra to always be happy and harmonious like papa and mama. Rayyan also wants to have children like papa and mama."
"Why are you talking about it now? There will be time alone."
"Rayyan malulah ma if nangis continues to be seen by many people that way." Rayyan still tightened her embrace on the mother, hiding her watery eyes.
"Biarin aja Zahra know that this mama's son is also actually crying. Do you need mama to tell Zahra when your first month in LA keeps calling mama while crying because mom misses and wants to go home?"
"Iihh, don't dong ma! Ntar Zahra's got a gun for Rayyan." Rayyan released her embrace while wiping away her tears.
"Udah, don't cry that. Mama will always doain the best for your children. Hunting down, hunting at nyusulin here." mama Salma rubbed Rayyan's cheek before finally out of Rayyan's room. Leaving Rayyan to prepare.
