My Love Springed Out of Compulsion

Disillusioned

"You're ready, Zio." called his mother from outside the room.

"It's ma, it's Zio coming out immediately," Zio replied from inside his room.

"Don't let the other guests come first, papa shy. Mr. Yusuf told papa to welcome the groom, so if the groom is not good first," replied his father.

Not long after, Zio came out of his room and they immediately went to Joseph's house.

***

Today is the happiest day for Sahira, as it is her wedding day with Arfi.

Sahira looks very beautiful by wearing a white kebaya with batik subordinates that are in line with his superiors.

The hijab is also white with a glittering crown, adding to its perfect beauty.

"It's so pretty that you're Ra.." said aunt Janah as she entered her room.

"Subhanallah is beautiful..," said aunt Ira when she saw Sahira being made up in her room.

Sahira was embarrassed to hear it.

"Sahira not just dimake up is beautiful, let alone dimake up and dressed like this. Like a barbie doll," said Afika who was in the room also accompanied Sahira who was being made up.

Sahira's father then goes into Sahira's room to see if Sahira has finished dressing up or not.

"You look a lot like your late mother Ra." said Mr. Yusuf to his son Sahira.

Sahira was silent and sad.

"If your mother were still alive, she would be so happy to see her son's marriage" said her father sadly.

"Dad don't be sad, mother is now also happy with her current life. The mother is kind" said Sahira to calm her sad-looking father.

Airin soon entered Sahira's room.

"I'm sorry Ra I'm done. It was bad luck this morning" said Airin.

"It's okay Rin, after all the event has not started yet" Sahira said.

"Weekly nights are mbak, so bad luck," said Afika Becanda.

"Yes.the weekly night with husband. So quickly married Fika, let there be a weekly evening friend until morning," said Airin as he joked.

"Just pray yes mbak, Sahira will catch up with me," said Afika smiling.

"Aamiin...," replied Airin and Sahira together.

All kitchen affairs are handled by aunt Janah and aunt ira assisted by close neighbors.

"Pity bang Yusuf, had a wife but his wife was evil. Though bang Yusuf is very caring and affectionate with his wife. But his wife doesn't know herself" Aunt Janah told Ira's aunt.

"From the beginning, I said, do not take Rangga's mother as a wife, but bang Yusuf who never heard I was his sister. This is who is difficult, right we are," answered aunt Ira full of emotions.

"Last time need not be discussed," said aunt Janah revealed the emotions of her sister-in-law.

Then they both returned to the dish that was not ready.

Guests who will attend the wedding are already on arrival, including Mr. Mahendra's family. They all wait outside. Outside seats are available for guests.

Mr. Yusuf looked uneasy waiting for a guest from the Arfi family.

"Bang... has passed almost an hour, why the Arfi family has not come yet," asked Kifli brother of Mr. Yusuf.

"There may be more obstacles in the way" replied Mr. Yusuf.

"But it's been almost an hour. If it's half an hour late it's possible too," said om Kifli worried.

Then Joseph went into Sahira's room.

"Ra. It's almost an hour late. Not good as guests who have come," said Mr. Yusuf.

Then Sahira called Arfi mas, but hpnya not aktf.

"Who can I contact?" ask her father Sahira.

Suddenly Mr. Yusuf was called om Kifli.

"That can go out, there's something I want to say" said Om Kifli from outside the room.

Then Joseph went out of Sahira's room and met his brother.

Both of them spoke very seriously and suddenly Mr. Yusuf oyong and almost fell down.

Kifli quickly grabbed him and grabbed him from behind.

Then Om Kifli called his youngest brother Ira aunty.

"Ra.. get water for Joseph bang," said Om Kifli to his sister Ira.

"How come it got to this oyong," asked aunt Ira worried.

Then Om Kifli takes Ira to Sahira's room and tells Ira that Arfi did not come because he ran away with his former lover named Naura.

Like being struck by lightning in a hole it felt like Sahira heard the news.

Sahira was just crying and sitting limp in her room.

"Patience to Ra." said Afika and Airin, who were in Sahira's room.

"So how is this bang. Ijab kabul wedding reception held. Although the party is not big, but certainly familiar and an invitation to come," said aunt Ira to her brother.

Not long after, Mr. Mahendra entered the house of Mr. Joseph to ask why the groom's family had not come too.

When he entered the living room, he saw Mr. Joseph sitting limp. He was also very surprised.

"Why are you Suf" asked Mr. Mahendra.

"I'm in a lot of trouble sir. My debt has not been paid, now a new problem arises. Candidate Sahira runs off with another woman. What should I do sir" said Mr. Yusuf confused.

While thinking about it, Mahendra finally offered Zio his son to be Sahira's husband because he knew Zio was falling for him.

"Don't you think about your debt, we make it up. It just so happens that Zio fell in love with Sahira," said Mr. Mahendra.

Finally, Mr. Yusuf agreed to Mr. Mahendra's request because Mr. Yusuf knew that Zio was kind and polite.

"But I asked Sahira first yes sir," said Mr. Yusuf.

Then Mr. Yusuf told his sister om Kifli and aunt Ira about the request of Mr. Mahendra.

"Bec......Arfi can no longer be expected, while the guests have arrived. If this marriage is annulled, that embarrasses us all the family here. What if Arfi is replaced by Zio his son, Mr. Mahendra, you want it?" ask me Kifli.

Sahira just shut up and cried. I can marry someone I don't love. What will be the fate of my household. Why are you this long, Arfi.., go with another woman at our marriage, inner Sahira is sad.

"You want Ra to marry his son, Mr. Mahendra," asked aunt Ira while stroking Sahira's head.

Ever since Sahira's mother died, she's been very spoiled for Ira's aunt, coincidentally their home is also close.

Sahira just nodded in agreement. He did not want to see his father sad. Afika and Airin can only shed tears at Sahira's grief.

"You are strong, Ra..... I believe and believe, Mr. Mahendra's son will be a good priest for you" said Airin.

"Yes Ra.. You must be the spirit yes," said Afika also.

Feeling dissatisfied, then Mr. Joseph went into Sahira's room and spoke together. His father told him everything about Mr. Mahendra's offer.

"If you don't want to, it's okay. I won't force you" his father told Sahira.

"Sahira wants yah. Sahira will learn to love him," Sahira replied sadly.

Actually Sahira is very hard to accept Zio as her husband, but she does not have the heart to see her father grieving. I will try to be a good wife for my husband later, Sahira in my heart.
