Nindy (Hijabers Norak Conqueror of the Heart)

24. Wedding Feast

"Hold, Mistress! It's over soon." An MUA was dressing Nindy on her wedding day.

"You didn't turn me into a clown, did you?"

The woman chuckled at Nindy's words. He patiently answered the girl's questions. "Of course Madam will be very pretty. Trust me, Madam."

"So you're saying I was so ugly?" nindy asked with a frown, making it difficult for the woman to apply the powder on her forehead.

Yes, the ugly nickname pinned by Yang Pou Han to Nindy, made the girl feel that she was ugly. It was as if the man wanted to show that Nindy was very lucky to have been married to him, a handsome and charming rich man.

"I mean, Madam will be even more beautiful after this. Mr. Yang will definitely be surprised and will love Madam even more."

Nindy just nodded. He knew that the woman in front of him was seducing Nindy not to protest much anymore.

How not, the woman said that Yang Pou Han would love her even more when he saw her wearing a bridal outfit. Isn't that so funny?

Sometimes he doesn't even think of her as a woman. Yang Pou Han always said that Nindy was ugly, stupid and slow. How could Yang Pou Han possibly say love to him?

Nindy continued to fight with her mind, until she did not realize that the makeup process was over.

"It's over, Madam. Open your eyes!"

Nindy blinked her eyelids, then opened them slowly. He was immediately faced with a large mirror with many lights perched on the right, left, top and bottom.

He did not recognize his own face. She rarely or perhaps even never applied makeup on her face so this time Nindy felt that the one in the mirror was not her.

"Is this me?" ask Nindy doubtfully. He touched his own face.

"Will my husband recognize me if I dress up like this?"

The second magic question that came out of Nindy's lips made the fairy chuckle. "Of course it is the master who will recognize his bride." He seemed to shake his head later.

And just as the fairy finished her words, the door of the room opened with Yang Pou Han emerging from the doorway.

The two women turned their heads simultaneously, with the fairy retreating backwards after finding out who had opened the door.

Yang Pou Han fell silent as his nether looked at Nindy, and so did the girl. Not a word was said from their lips. Only their eyes looked at each other, no voice, no talk.

Until the words of the fairy were heard, making both of them aware of the daydream. "The lady is ready. Excuse me for permission to go out."

Who blinked their eyes, nodded later. While Nindy looked down, avoiding the gaze of the man.

Until when the man walked over and stopped right behind Nindy, he placed both of his palms on Nindy's shoulders. Nindy who was still sitting in front of the dressing table turned her attention to the front directly facing the mirror.

The reflection of the girl's face showed a look towards the man behind her. Still in the reflection in the mirror they stared at each other. Brazing faces that seemed to miss each other.

The man cleared his throat later, breaking the daydream that had stupefied their minds. "You're ready. Let's go!"

Yang extended his hand towards Nindy and was greeted by the girl well. Nindy got up from her seat, walking in tandem with Yang Pou Han with her hands intertwined. However, suddenly Nindy stopped her steps making the man stop and turned towards her.

"Which, look at me!" Nindy stared expectantly at the man.

"What's wrong? Didn't I see you earlier?"

Nindy let out a lethargic sigh, slightly pursing her lips. He grabbed Yang Pou Han's hand and then placed it on the man's chest. "Didn't you feel anything here?"

Yang Pou Han's lips curved up, forming a smile, then answered Nindy's question. "What do you want me to feel?"

"Heeem, I know that woman is lying. I shouldn't have asked you." He removed his hand from Yang Pou Han's chest.

"That woman? Wh who? What did he say?" ask Yang in a row.

The girl seemed to move her eyebrows upwards, staring at her husband's narrow netra. "She, the perias. He said you'd love me when you saw me after being possessed by him. Turns out he's lying. You don't even feel a thing."

Nindy so honestly answered him, making the man become anxious because of it. "You want me to love you?" guess Which Pou Han.

There was a ruckus from Yang Pou Han's lips. Why would he be able to find such an innocent girl in front of him?

"So, are you in love with me?" ask Yang later.

The girl shook her head. "No, I don't want to. I don't want to fall in love first. Loving someone who does not love us will hurt. I don't want heartache." He blinked one eye.

"Alright, we don't know how to go ahead. For now, we can still start with a friendship, right?"

"Friends? Can't it be higher status, like dating?" Nindy gave me a more reasonable idea. How can people get married just to be friends, right?

"Did you like me so much that you'd love to date me?" ask again, and this time Nindy had to stop their conversation.

"Ah, you always talk sucks, Yang."

They laughed later. Who invited Nindy out of the room immediately, while holding hands to go to the building where their wedding will be held soon.

*******

White shades seem to dominate the area. White mosquito nets run along the corridor when the elevator doors open. White roses and white dandelions fill almost the entire location of the wedding. White roses reflect purity. While other flowers reflect the meaning of hope, love, loyalty and affection. A philosophy that is depicted in a flower that is not crowned, but has a lot of stamens on it, dandelion.

Nindy had not expected Yang Pou Han to prepare their wedding party this luxurious. Though in his mind they will marry simply because they both have no feelings. However, Nindy forgot if she married a successful businessman. It is impossible to have a very simple marriage considering who is her husband. Until accidentally Nindy tears dripped, wetting her temple.

His mother should have seen him here. Seeing her getting married, seeing her being held by her husband. Seeing Nindy who was used to various insults, now has gained the companion of a respected man.

He turned his head towards Yang Pou Han, who was smiling at him. "Come, let's meet the guests!"

Nindy nodded later. Following the steps of the man with hands joined together towards the stage that had been changed into a guarantee.

There was already waiting for many of Yang Pou Han's business associates without exception. Sean Paderson's two adopted brothers Leon and Abust were also present at the event. They bring their respective spouses, except Leon. The man is still at home alone even though his colleagues already have a partner. I don't know what he had thought, as if the word marriage was a scourge for him.

Until when everyone was giving congratulations alternately to the bride and groom, the lighting suddenly went completely off. A floodlight flashed to one place, leading up to the stage that made everyone's attention diverted to it.

And a host with a microphone in hand gave a welcome to the invited guests. Congratulating Yang Pou Han and Nindy on their marriage. Do not forget also some prayers and hopes that are poured out for the sustainability of the second household.

Just when the host codes the Wedding Organizer, some of the images are displayed on a white screen at the end there. And everyone's attention turned toward that big screen.

It was a prewedding photo that Nindy had done with Yang Pou Han. They did several photoshoots when they finished doing the kabul ijab procession at that time.

The one who held Nindy's hand when their photo was displayed. Just as Nindy felt her hand being grasped, she stared down where the burly hand was pinning her fingers on the sidelines of Nindy's fingers. There was a foreign taste that permeated deep into the recesses of his heart. It feels so calm and comfortable. Nindy felt a sense of peace as the hand got tighter and tighter clasping her hand. He smiled then. The net turns to staring at the screen that is displaying their prewedding photos.

In the photo Yang and Nindy look harmonious. There was a sincere and happy smile when the photos were taken. Who did not even expect that he could do those various poses with Nindy.

Slide after slide has been finished showing, and the host again takes over the event. Right after the display ended, another video automatically played.

Nindy's face pias when the video was played. There was a clear voice of a woman cursing herself, calling Nindy the child pel@cur.

Yes, it was a video of Nindy having an argument with a woman while she was at a tourist spot. He did not expect anyone to deliberately record the incident. And what is this? The video was deliberately played at her wedding. Did they deliberately insult and humiliate Nindy in such a cruel way?

Nindy lowered her head, the clear globules dripping in the corner of her eyes. Everyone looked at him with disgust while whispering. Nindy could feel that. They deliberately whispered in a loud voice as if Nindy wanted to hear it. She bit her lower lip, unable to hear and stare at the faces of everyone present at her wedding.

His heart ached, slashed like it was being pounced on by a wild beast. So agonizing and torturous, it hit hard in the deepest recesses of his heart.

Just now he felt happiness, becoming a valued and respected person. Having a husband who can maintain and help his self-esteem and dignity in front of people. However, on the same day he was also humiliated in such a cruel manner. The tightness in the chest was excruciating, Nindy could not bear to face everyone's gaze that led to her.

Seeing that, Yang Pou Han picked up the goblet glass that was on the table. With a rude gesture, the man slammed the glass onto the floor.

PRAAANNG!

The grasp stiffened as an aura of anger emanated on the man's face. Nindy could see the man did not like what had been displayed in front of the screen.

"Who dares to play the tape? Bring him here. Hurry along!"
