After the ijab kabul event is completed, followed by a wedding reception held in a multipurpose building near the Village Office. The distance was not too far, it only took 10 minutes, they arrived at the reception.
Lulu's parents deliberately rented the multi-purpose building because their house was too narrow if they had to receive many guests. Moreover, many invited guests were present, watching the procession of ijab kabul two human beings who had melted into one.
“Pak, let's hunt. Do not melt,” said Ms. Fatimah to her husband Mr. Idris who is still busy fixing his belt.
“Iya, Mom. A minute.”
“If long later left his car you know. Chubby, Sir.” Fatimah increasingly asked Mr. Idris to hurry.
Finally, after finishing wearing the uniform for the wedding reception of the beloved daughter, Fatimah and Idris immediately went to the car. The car will take Fatimah, Idris, Lulu, and Leon to the reception hall. Meanwhile, Arumi, Rayyan, Ghani, Zavier and Hanna were in another car that had departed earlier. Even so with Leon's parents, they left first with the Arumi family group.
Soon, the car was boarded by Fatimah, Idris, Lulu, and Leon arrived at a mixed-use building. There's a lot of people there. One of the Wedding Organizer employees who arranged the event today immediately welcomed their arrival.
“Come, come, soon the show will start,”, said Gigi, one of the event coordinators.
Leon immediately took Lulu's hand to the armchair. The multipurpose building that serves as a reception venue is beautifully transformed with a dominance of light purple. Unsurprisingly, Leon and Lulu are amazed to see the beautiful room where their wedding reception.
“Good decoration, Mas. Are you the one who asked to be decorated in light purple?” asked Lulu curious because after all Leon never knew his favorite color.
Leon shakes. “I have absolutely no idea about this decoration. Kan for the business of decoration in your place, bestowed all on Mother and Father."
Instantly a smile rose on Lulu's lips when she realized something. 'Mom always knows what I want.'
“Eh, by the way, the decor is good too, huh? Fits the atmosphere,” Leon said later. He looked around with a look of amazement. Happy sparkling eyes, seeing the decoration of the building made so beautiful.
“Hmm, true. I like the concept. Simple, but elegant." Secretly Lulu admires the mother who has quite good taste.
Finally, the reception began. Many guests from Lulu's extended family, both from Idris and Fatimah's family, were present, giving her blessing to the happy newlywed couple. Even so with the neighbors around Lulu's parents' house, vegetable picker workers at the Kasman Hajj place came to witness an important moment that only happened once in Leon and Lulu's lifetime.
“Congratulations yes, Lu. May be a sakinah, mawadah, and warahmah family.” Miss Kiki, one of Lulu's neighbors came to congratulate Lulu and Leon.
“Thank you, Miss Kiki. Thanks for coming too.”
“About the way, your husband is a doctor, right?” asked Bu Kiki while whispering in Lulu's ear.
Lulu nodded. “Iya, Mom. Why did it come, Mom?” ask Lulu curious.
“Ah, no. I also want a doctor's daughter-in-law. If your husband has a single doctor, tell me yes. You know my son Fifi? He broke up with his ex. Who knows the doctor's soul mate just like you."
“Oh, so. I'll ask Leon, yes, Mom. But I don't promise you that looking for the same age as Fifi, it's rare. Most of Mas Leon's friends are old."
Bu Kiki seemed disappointed by Lulu's reply. The hope of having a doctor's daughter-in-law like Fatimah's mother did not materialize.
The more daylight the more guests arrive to congratulate Lulu and Leon. Accompanied by the melodious voice of the singer on the stage, making the wedding reception even more lively.
“Omong-by the way, I'm a laper. You're not spastic?” leon whispered to Lulu. It had been more than an hour that he was sitting in the armchair, it was only natural that he was very hungry now.
“Iya. I'm also laper. There are still many guests, Mas?” Lulu dived towards the entrance guarded by ayu pager who was in charge of receiving guests as well as giving wedding souvenirs as a thank you for the willingness of those present on this day.
Leon also circulated the view towards the entrance of the building sebaja. "I think it's quiet again. What if we eat first? Later if fainted even berabe. Anyway this event was held until malem, loh."
“Yuk down. I want to see what the catering menu is.” Lulu and Leon go to a table that serves food for the guests.
“Ciyeee, the uda officially so husband and wife everywhere always both. How is his experience after the pronunciation of the sacred promise of marriage, seneng? Surely seneng dong time is not."
Someone's baritone voice shocked Lulu and Leon. They looked over and found Zavier behind him. The man was engrossed in enjoying the batagor placed in a small plate.
Zavier chuckles. “Dih, sensi bener. I was just kidding this time. Don't go to the heart, okay?"
"By the way, the food is good. I have two batagor plates. The dimsum is delicious too. You guys should try."
“I'm flirting, new muji-muji. Dih, basic lecturer sableng. No matter how good the food, I do not want to eat a lot, afraid later kebelet boker.” Leon plucks the risoles in the buffet table.
“What do you want to eat, honey? Want risoles too?” lengking Leon is meek. If he had previously said in a cynical tone, when faced with Lulu, Leon's voice sounded soft.
“Ciyeee .. ciyeee .. who calls Darling.” Once again Zavier teases Leon-his twin brother's best friend.
“Ah, rese lo, Vier. I just show love to my wife is that wrong? Rather than you being the mosquito repellent mending the samperin Doctor Hanna there, pity her alone from earlier. So the husband really lives his wife alone," said Leon cynically, replying to the actions of Zavier who has been teasing him ever since.
"Mas Leon, don't say that. Mas Zavier couldn't have done that to his wife. It could be Doctor Hanna herself who does not want to be invited here because of males or is reluctant to crowded with other guests. So people don't get bad with other people, it's not good." Lulu tried to give her husband a little advice.
“Noh heard what Lulu said. He's understanding, not kayak lo,” Zavier's pout.
Leon just grumbled. As for him because Lulu is more on Zavier's side. He grew even more resentful when he accidentally saw a mocking smile created from the corner of Zavier's lips.
Unwilling to ruin the newlyweds mood, Zavier distracts Leon, who looks upset at him.
"By the way, you so make a reception in Jakarta too?" ask Zavier while putting a piece of batagor into the mouth.
“Surely so. I told Lulu's parents. In addition to the reception here, my family will hold a reception in Jakarta. You know my own friends and nyokap I really flocked. Not to mention fellow doctors, this one building will not be able to accommodate so many guests. Fear if not invited can be a rumor."
“Aduh, enggak kebayang later must be very tired.” Lulu breathed a heavy sigh. It's nothing, Lulu's been complaining.
“Yes, must be tired. But as long as you are with you, tired it will disappear really, dear.” Leon hugged Lulu's shoulder from the side.
"Mas Leon, ashamed to be seen!" lulu Tegur. Nevertheless, he did not lower Leon's burly hand on his shoulder.
Zavier, like a mosquito repellent, can only rotate the eyeball lazily. The base of the newlyweds, there is always a reason to make out in front of others. Especially for Leon, he must have deliberately done it for revenge because he had teased him just now.
“Gue unplug. Than to see the beloved. Bye!” Zavier breezed away still chewing his batagor.
Leon and Lulu laugh at the behavior of twin sister Ghani who is famous for her favorite change partner during school first.
“Aduh, Mas, Ma'am, let's go back to the bridal seat. Many people want photos. I'm done, right, eat it?” Suddenly Gigi, the coordinator of the event, comes to pick up Lulu and Leon.
“Bent in. Undeterred. I want to eat a donut first.” Lulu plucks a mini donut and immediately chews it.
“Let's have a video shooting session too. If you can, the makeup is touching up again yes, Ma'am. Let more and more kinclong fitting shot.”
“OK. Okay.” Lulu gave a thumbs up. Although inwardly upset because his face had to be self-sufficient, but he obeyed what Gigi said. Lulu's slightly tomboyish nature makes her uncomfortable with the makeup polish on the face.
“Oh yes, Mas also selfie a little yes. Mas-nya already handsome, but more handsome again if using a little powder. It's okay, right? Let the video be better.”
“Hmm, whatever. I follow how good," said Leon resigned.
“Ya already, let's go up to the pelaminan again. There are my colleagues waiting for you. I go first, want to take care of catering behind.” Gigi left after saying what she wanted.
Lulu and Leon just stared at Gigi from behind. After they finished eating, they returned to the bridal seat to greet the guests who were still arriving.
