The day before the wedding Arthur desperately visited the main house to meet Mala, his sense of longing was unstoppable again made the dimpled man quietly enter the main house and visit Mala who was in his room. Everyone in the main house was busy preparing for their wedding so that Arthur was more free to enter his room.
Like a robber, Arthur walked quietly, climbing stairs after stairs with great care. He smiled broadly as he arrived in front of his room, immediately opening the door and entering the room.
In the room Arthur saw Mala lying on the bed, he immediately approached Mala and sat on the edge of the bed touching her face.
Mala was shocked so open her eyes, how not, the man she hadn't seen for almost a week was now in front of her. A pile of longing seemed to collapse when Mala saw dimples on the face of her future husband.
"What are you doing here?" Mala half whispered.
"I miss you so much." replied Arthur as he hugged Mala's body.
Mala returned her embrace, she also felt the same way. Missing, yes that is what they are feeling right now after six days they are separated by distance and time.
Arthur broke his embrace, he stroked Mala's hair gently, looked at her with a face that he missed so much, not as detailed as the face of the ayu Arthur missed.
"I'm going to my parents' graves soon, I'm going to call you to meet me there." Mala said, he grasped Arthur's hand tightly.
"Then I take them there, I also want to meet them and ask them for permission to marry you."
Mala nodded, then moved up from the bed and prepared to go to the graves of her parents.
Arthur got out of the house first, he left his car not far from the main house, in order to trick the guards who were at the security post Arthur recklessly jumped over the fence as high as nearly 2 meters.
When she was ready, Mala followed Arthur out of her room, sending a message to the servant that she was going to the tomb of her parents. Mala walked far enough to arrive at Arthur's car, after a trip that was enough to make him sweat finally Mala arrived in the car of her future husband.
"Capek huh? Look at that sweat!" Arthur said as he wiped Mala's sweat with a handkerchief.
"Lumayan. Let's walk now before anyone sees us."
Arthur immediately drove his car out of the mansion. After almost half an hour they arrived at one of the funeral complexes in the western city of Jakarta
They both got out of the car and bought flowers before entering the cemetery. After walking through several tomb blocks they finally stopped in front of two adjoining tombstones.
Mala sat between the two headstones, she placed two bouquets of flowers in each of her parents' heads.
"Dad, mom, I'm sorry I just got here now."
"You must have known, tomorrow Mala will get married, today Mala brought prospective husband Mala come to visit you. What do you think, he's handsome, right? hehehe, besides being handsome he is also very fond of Mala, father and mother do not need to worry about Mala anymore because from now on Arthur will take care of Mala forever."
"Dad, mother, did you really leave this for Mala?" Mala showed me the stamp she found a month ago in Ara's room.
"Mala will take good care of this thing . I am confident that I have guarded Mala to this day. From now on Mala will give you guys, may you part there."
Mala ended her long sentence, her eyes seemed to be glazed but she tried to hold back so that the tears did not fall on the belly button of her parents.
It was Arthur's turn to sit between the two tombs. "Om, auntie, I'm sorry I just got to visit you today. I am Arthur, you may still remember me, forgive me for forgetting the past and for forgetting you. Om, aunt, today I have come to ask you for permission to make Mala my wife, I hope you bless our marriage, may you be happy there. Aunt, thank you for giving birth to such a beautiful and kind daughter, I promise to always protect Mala and take care of her with my life."
After visiting the graves of Mala's parents, they also visited the Lidya mamy meal in the same cemetery complex. Arthur doesn't say much, he just introduces Mala to her potluck and asks for her late mother's blessing.

WEDDING DAY
Arthur looks dashing wearing a black tuxedo and flower decorations on the collar. But behind the gallantry was a pair of hands that did not stop shaking, his handsome face was decorated with cold sweat grains, he was nervous, an Arthur Bagaskara finally showed his weak point.
"Pacify yourself, if you continue like this trust Petra who will replace you to say a sacred promise with Mala."Said Rafli, he tried to calm Arthur who had been hit by anxiety.
"Hu ha, hu ha." Arthur, trying to catch his breath, must relieve his anxiety before he ascends to the altar of their marriage.
"Hurry up, it's almost time. Don't forget to catch your breath."
Arthur let out a long sigh, though his legs were still struggling he kept trying to be calm until he stood at the wedding altar and waited for Mala's arrival.
Sir Raymon and Mr. Bagaskara were seen sitting side by side, next to them was also an oma Lusi. While Rafli and Lala sit in a chair opposite the male family, they are accompanied by Lala's parents and Yati's mother. While the invited guests were behind the nuclear family of the two brides.
The hotel ballroom door is open, Mala entrance is accompanied by Mama Wulan and Lea. Invitational guests are made to be amazed by the beauty of Mala. The girl looks so elegant with a white ball gown dress. The top of the dress has an off-shoulder or sabrina model so as to give the impression of sexy and graceful. The dress Mala wore was also decorated with flowers on the chest to her hips which further added a sweet impression to the dress. The extra veil that covers Mala's head and dangles throughout her dress makes Mala look like a princess from a fairy tale.
Arthur tries to calm himself, he remembers Rafli's previous message, he would not if until Petra replaced him to say a sacred promise.
The bride and groom are now standing face to face, a religious leader reciting prayers for their wedding.
Arthur and Mala prepare to say their sacred promise, but suddenly the hotel's ballrom door opens again. A middle-aged man entered with a face holding in anger, the man walked up to the two brides on the wedding altar.
"This marriage cannot continue, it is a murderer."
SERIATE...
