Not as Beautiful as Angan

There is no dowry yet

"This means how, ma'am?

The groom-to-be is already here, no seuseurahan anyway. Moreover, the guarantee and the invited guests, the family of the men - lakipun does not exist, what kind of wedding?Where are we gonna put our faces, Mom? Why did you leave everything to the walnut, why did you?" When Kenari was decorating Cempaka, Pak Jati asked all the irregularities that occurred in his house.

"Mother doesn't know either, sir. It turns out that Karmin has given his na letter to Kenari, unbeknownst to us. And the walnut gave it to my side. If it's recorded there, how else do we do? I am confused about this too, sir. It doesn't feel like you can watch your child get married in this way" Bu Sekar said, saying what was in his heart.

"Why can we be helped by our firstborn, ma'am? We've been unfair to our children, Cempaka. Every injustice, must be the mastermind is always Walnuts, our first child ma'am, not someone else. We've all been deceived by Kenari, our own son" Mr. Jati complained about his behavior while shedding tears of regret.

"There's no time, sir, it's eight in the morning, soon the ruler comes to our house. I'm sure the pengulu will ask astonishment with all this impromptu. Because several times we married our son with the same Penghulu, not like this way"

"Now my mother understood what Kenari said the other day. He said that this Cempaka marriage is the first and strangest marriage in our village, and maybe in other places. Yes, because our child's marriage is now different from marriage in general, sir" Ms. Sekar began to shed tears.

"Marriage without seuseurahan which is always synonymous with innate signs of affection from the groom's family. Without guarantee, where the place where the pair of newlyweds who love each other, without tents and without invited guests who come with congratulations to both brides" Said bu Sekar with tears that began to break wet his cheeks.

"Also without a dowry it looks like ma'am. Because, Karmin did not look to bring anything other than carrying two stel clothes instead and na that had been given to Kenari. So, there's not a hint of the love Karmin gave our son, ma'am. What kind of marriage is this, Mom? In our religion, the gift of the bridegroom in the form of a dowry is the condition of her marriage, ma'am. So what about our son's marriage?" Mr. Jati was not separated from his various question marks.

"Yes sir, our son was forced to marry the Karmin, while in our religion, Islam. The law of marriage must be based on mutual love, mutual affection and the absence of coercion. While Cempaka accepted it with great force, it means that the two terms of marriage are no longer there, so God what about the marriage of our son?" Bu Sekar felt very worried because it turned out, two points from the terms of marriage were not fulfilled.

"Assalamualaikum" In the midst of his gala feeling, Jati and Bu Sekar, suddenly heard a heavy voice of a man saying greetings from the front door of their house.

The other is the voice of his father Penghulu who came at his invitation Kenari, to marry Cempaka and Karmin.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Jati and Bu Sekar.

"Sir, how is this? That's the voice of Mr. Penghulu, he has come, he is ready to marry Cempaka, our son" Bu Sekar cried worried.

"We meet first, ma'am before Kenari meets him" said Mr. Jati as he moved from his seat.

"Yes, sir, I'm coming" Ms. Sekar stood up from her seat.

Meanwhile, Walnuts already feel finished making the face of Cempaka as cementor as possible.

As soon as he heard Mr. Penghulu say his greetings, he immediately rushed to the living room, which happened to be located not so far from his room Cempaka.

"The ruler has come, don't act too much!" He said as he passed leaving Cempaka who was sad.

Upon the arrival of the canary in the living room, Mr. Penghulu was sitting on the sofa there, accompanied by Karmin who had been sitting there with his wedding costume.

"Alhamdulillah, father and mother have not come here" he murmured.

"Pak Penghulu, welcome to our house, I introduce, this is the groom-to-be. So, after her yesterday afternoon, and not many who came because of the far origin of her hometown. So in a simple hunt" said Kenari directly introduced Karmin.

"Ooh, is this her groom-to-be? But still a bachelor, right? In accordance with what was stated on his na" Mr. Penghulu looked at Karmin's face seemed a bit hesitant.

"I, yes still a bachelor sir" Walnut just grabbed him without waiting for a response from Karmin.

"Assalamualaikum" Mr. Jati and Bu Sekar just arrived in the living room. They lost quickly came to welcome Mr. Penghulu. Because, they were in the dining room which was located quite far from the living room.

Smiling walnut feels winning can precede both parents, in a welcome to Mr. Penghulu. And he has also conveyed his lies to Mr. Penghulu.

"Waalaikumsalam, Mr. Teak, ma'am. How's things going?" Mr. Penghulu who does not know what really happened there, welcomed the presence of bu Sekar and pak Jati.

"Thank you for coming to our house" said Mr. Jati.

"Yes, sir, it is my duty, it is my duty. Thank God, the father is now willing to marry his daughter again, the candidate is quite far too yes sir. But, I salute with his noble intentions, although far away but not until late. The proof is that he has been from yesterday is in this father's house" said Mr. Penghulu.

"Yes sir" Sahut pak Jati.

"It's nine o'clock, sir? Means a few more minutes. How's the bride-to-be ready too?" Ask Mr. Penghulu remind.

"Emh, briefly Mr. Penghulu" Sahut. He poked his arm Canary gave a signal.

Walnuts could immediately understand, he immediately grabbed his mother's hand and took her to the living room.

"Ma'af a minute sir" said Kenari asking for his permission.

Mr. Penghulu nodded his head.

Half in the drag, Bu Sekar was taken to the vavillion located next to the house.

"Mom, make the dowry let's use the mother's ring first, borrow it. Yesterday Karmin forgot to bring it" said Kenari.

"It can't be, son. It's a wedding, a sacred event not a joke! His dealings with Allah SWT" Bu Sekar refused. He did not want to take the ring off his finger.

"Just a second, ma'am! Borrow" Canary tries to pull her hand bu Sekar to remove her ring.

"For dowry cannot be borrowed, pamali! The time you want to marry doesn't bring the dowry?"

"Attent, mom. Borrow something for a few minutes. After the completion of the marriage contract was immediately given to the mother again"

"In addition, the name of the dowry belongs to the bride's gift from the groom" Bu Sekar maintains a ring on his finger.

"It's nothing, Walnuts?" Bi Nani who witnessed the incident, immediately reprimanded him.

"It's not about bi Nani, don't interfere!" His impact.

"How did auntie not interfere? This cannot be allowed, what kind of child are you? Forcing his own mother to cheat. Did I not hear wrong? The time for the dowry should be the minjam of your mother's ring? What kind of man did you match for your sister, huh? True what Sekar said, marriage is a sacred thing that cannot be played! Where can his dowry borrow first his ring of would-be in-laws" Bi Nani snapped at Walnuts.

"Basar fat, just meddle in people's affairs" Susutkan Walnuts.

"What are you, Walnuts? I'm not interfering. I'm just advising you, straightening out something wrong that's going on in front of aunt's eyes, this is all for Cempaka's sake! My niece. Aunty does not want to see the good Cempaka neng continuously in the same lizard as a female crocodile like you!" Bi Nani looks very emotional, her voice is loud until it reaches the kitchen.

"It's like someone's fighting, why?" People who are present and who are helping there ask each other questions.

The same goes for the neighbors who were there.

"Mother, if mother does not want to take off the ring, means that Cempaka's marriage will definitely be void. Come dong bu, borrow for a while for Cempaka" said Kenari again remain

forcing him.

"Can't be Canary, can't! The dowry is the condition of marriage. And, the dowry must be given by the groom-to-be, not borrowed from his future-in-law, how is the law?" Said Bu Sekar, he still refused it.

" Yes fine if you can't, no nothing ma'am" Canary released her hand Bu Sekar.

" That's dong, understand!" Bi Nani. He then approached his brother.

"Sister, your firstborn is a sis. Does he not know the rules of marriage? He has been married, has had children, and also his school in mts again. Where religious lessons are learned more than public schools" said bi Nani while shaking her head.

"I don't understand his way of thinking either? What exactly is in his brain?" Bu Sekar cried bitterly. He was saddened by the treatment of his eldest son, where in front of the crowd again.

Meanwhile, Walnuts sneaked into her mother's room. He knew his mother still had the other ring there. He will steal it and give it to Karmin for his wedding dowry with Cempaka.

All the way done by that cunning canary.
