My bodyguard, my Imam
The Chosen Road
Eiwa stood behind the window, staring at the vast view of Jakarta filled with buildings and houses. One hand was in his pants pocket, he sighed deeply steadying his heart.
“Lo know, if this marriage is not just a responsibility, right, Wa? I know the reason why you haven't wanted to get married. Because Erlina is the reason, your heart is fixated on one girl and the severity of her already does not exist in this world.” Ernes—good friend Eiwa shook her head in an inexhaustible manner.
Indeed the thing that Eiwa was afraid of was about feeling, Eiwa was afraid of hurting the feelings of Ellea, the innocent, quiet and still innocent girl who did not talk much.
Because from the deepest recesses of the heart, Eiwa has absolutely no vibration. Spoiled girl Ellea spoke soft words when greeting her, even she considered as her own sister. But what's going on? Even fate has united them through the ropes of marriage.
“I can't avoid this marriage, Nes. Because because this is the only way to account for my actions. I would feel even more sinful and guilty if I now chose not to marry her.”
“Hopefully watch, Bro... whatever you want to do, the important thing is sure.” Ernes pats Eiwa on the shoulder before leaving Eiwa at their secret meeting.
Eiwa had steadied her heart, put a silver hunch on her fist then walked out of the room.
No one knew about her marriage this time. They are all now going to Umrah and are still on their way.
He did not know how disappointed his family if he found out about the wedding plans.
Eiwa came to this house with a mission from the ayan. Even he was willing to return from Dubai, because he carried out the orders of his father.
Mama Renita will be shocked or even happy, because having a daughter-in-law is her dream since the last few years.

While Ellea who was ready to wear white kebaya and white hijab decorated by jasmine flowers and other accessories sat firmly on the edge of her own bedroom bed.
“I always pray to You, O Lord, so that you will always bring me closer to goodness, one day become a successful person of the world and the hereafter, but it turns out that you have determined a different destiny, if this marriage is the line you give, then bismillah, I accept with all my heart.”
“Elleeeeeaaa!” scream Amora from outside the room while banging on the door. “Petan oiiii.. pak penghulu already waiting from earlier!”
Ellea, who had finished herself half an hour ago, now opened the door. her condition with her eyes did not dare to lift her face even just looking at Amora.
Amora stood side-by-side looking at him cynically while grinning, like a mock. “Eat it, if you want to do anything it is thought!! Don't come ah, uh ah just you. Now married even cry. Plain face, but the behavior is amit-amit,” he said while jerking one hand Ellea.
“Ya monggo..”.
“Snorts yes, have made Ellea this way now?”
Amora who was leaving suddenly stopped. “What the hell are you? Not clear!”
“This must be my sister's plan, right, that night that has trapped me with Bang Eiwa? Realistically, it is not possible that the two of us suddenly in one room, if not the brother who trapped.” Just this time Ellea made Amora unable to speak.
“For this sister may be just messing around, Just a little sister's fuss. But not for me, brother. It's a serious thing, because I've ruined my feelings.”
“Ya, I did it. You stay married just like your brother Eiwa, and enjoy being a wife of bodyguard, you are good enough to go everywhere can be accompanied by lackeys.”
“This brother has no heart, actually? Don't think about my future?” ask Ellea.
“Emang ay thoughtin?” sewotnya nantang Ellea.
“Yeah... Ellea, from earlier we were waiting it was even fun to chat here! Wait what else? Let's sneak down, the marriage contract will start, the afternoon hunt, journalists sliveran hunt in front of the house!” Lucia comes on the sidelines of the Ellea and Amora debate.
Sure enough, when Ellea everyone was witnesses and the workers in this house were waiting for her arrival.
Including Eiwa who is now staring straight at the front desk of the penghulu. The man seemed to be thinking hard. It was very clear on his face now that he was unhappy.
“Mbak Yem, how do I look?” ellea asked, for Eiwa did not look at him at all.
“Good, Neng...cuantik kayak bidadari down from the sky..” reply Mbak Pariyem while giving his two thumbs up.
“Girl bride, please sit down. We will start the marriage contract,” said pak penghulu.
Ellea sat beside Eiwa who was just smiling thinly at her solids. Then shake pak pengulu's hand on the table.
