Not Love But Married

Wedding day

The cool wind shifts the sun that starts to fall in the western horizon. The atmosphere of the garden behind the house of Mama Hanum has changed with simple but beautiful decorations created by wedding organizer appointed by Mama Hanum himself, to juggle the back garden into a place that will be used by his son who will pledge his marriage contract with Rania. The fragrant white roses scattered throughout the garden add fresh atmosphere to the garden that has been filled by about fifty invited guest chairs both from the family of Mama Hanum and the family of Mr. Mother Rania, also close relatives who were deliberately invited to watch the marriage contract this afternoon.

After Ashar time invited guests have begun to arrive and meet the guest seats, it looks like some families from Jogja are also present to watch the wedding contract procession. Rania herself had been forced this morning mama Hanum had to come home to undergo a series of treatments and preparations for this afternoon's event.

Before starting makeup by the makeup team, Rania asked permission to pray Ashar early so that her heart was calmer. The wedding plan will be held at four this afternoon, and will be married directly by the Father as before when Rania married Andre.

Rania sat still after finishing her prayer, her tears suddenly flowed down wet the white face she brought from home. Everything is about to change, who will change and who will change. Rania just prayed, hopefully this marriage will change her into a better person, and will bring happiness to Andra and her family. Although he realized, this marriage is not a marriage like in general that unites two people who love each other. This marriage is nothing more than a mutual agreement due to a mere misunderstanding. And it will all be done in time, because he and Arsha themselves have agreed to part ways for another year.

'Mas Andre, Rania will always remember you until anytime', Rania sobbed softly in her prayer, the past is just the past, now and tomorrow is the future that must be faced. This was the reality he had to face right now, the sudden marriage with his own Boss that he had never imagined in the slightest.

Rania is not a hypocrite who does not need a life companion after Andre's departure, only she is not ready to remarry at all, because she wants to focus on giving affection for her child first.

"Rania, you've been waiting for dear. ", call mama Hanum gently who immediately disperse her daydream. Rania rubbed her tears, then looked back at mama Hanum who called out to her.

"Yes, Ma. Rania is done. ", Rania has started to get used to calling mama Hanum with the name 'mama' as requested by mama Hanum when at the wedding dress boutique yesterday. Rania hurried to fold her face and then obediently sat down in the chair facing the large mirror. The three people who had been waiting for him were immediately busy with their respective tasks, because it was indeed a time that was very close to the event. Rania just resigned, silent according to without much asking for this and that for makeup and all the accessories that will be paired throughout her body.

"I received his marriage and marriage, Rania Putri Ramadhani bint Setyo Nugroho, with a gold dowry weighing 100 grams and a set of prayer tools, paid CASH! ", Arsha said with a firm and loud voice. His right hand gripped the hand of the Father and looked with confidence at the Father sitting in front of him.

"How are the witnesses?", asked the ruler who was sitting next to the Father.

"Well!", exclaimed the witnesses who had surrounded Arsha and Bapak in a place that had been prepared by the WO for the wedding ceremony. Including Dani who just uttered in a slow and uninspired tone.

"Alhamdulillah... ".

Arsha immediately invited tos to Andra who was watching and sat quietly next to him. Andra excitedly welcomed Arsha's hand that had been raised in front of him.

"Tos, Daddy!", exclaimed a happy Andra who was met with laughter by witnesses.

Dani was bowed listlessly after seeing and witnessing the scene that hurt her heart.

Meanwhile, Rania who was still sitting in the house returned to tears after hearing the marriage contract that Arsha said just now, Mother immediately hugged her tightly.

"Congratulations, Ra. May you remain a sholehah woman to your husband and to Andra" said Mother with teary eyes.

"God willing, Ma'am", Rania smiled looking at her Mother.

"Rania, let's go out. ", call mama Hanum who just came from the garden, Rania nodded obediently.

"Come, meet your husband. "

'Deg!, Rania's heart beat violently upon hearing the husband's words from her mother's mouth, 'Are I now married... ?', Rania closed her eyes tightly before stepping out to meet Arsha in the garden, then walked slowly with Mama Hanum and Mother flanking her to her left right.

'Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, ' Rania said in her heart and steadied her step towards where her husband was.

Arsha stood while tightly grasping Andra's tiny right hand. Repeatedly turned to look at Andra with a happy smile that never separated from his face. This is the real ultimate goal, holding Andra's hand forever, as her own child, a cure for her dark past trauma.

Arsha was stunned when she saw the woman who was walking slowly towards her, flanked by mama Hanum and her mother Rania.

Now his eyes were only focused on looking at Rania without blinking in front of him, swallowing his own saliva to wet his throat which suddenly felt dry. 'Is that really Rania? ', his mind was amazed at the sight he saw in front of him. Totally different from Rania who used to see her in the office all this time.

Rania wore a long brocade dress in broken white, with a veil that still covered her chest, decorated with a clear and glittering gemstone crown on top, and covered with a long veil that dangled until it touched the floor. Very beautiful, that's the picture now seen when Arsha looked at Rania in front of him.

"Ehhemm!", the loud deheman of the Father who stood beside him, awakened Arsha from his admiration for Rania. Arsha immediately misbehaved and smiled awkwardly because he was stuck staring at his own wife.

"The mother is beautiful. ", said Andra innocently, Arsha immediately turned to look at Andra.

"Very beautiful", whispered softly to Andra.

Then accidentally glanced at Dani who was also standing next to Andra and was staring at Rania with her mouth open.

"Sakmat!", whispered Arsha again to Dani. 'Basil Boss Gedeg!!', Dani's inner annoyance, had time to mute him in a sacred way like this. Dani ignored Arsha, and looked back at Rania who was getting closer to Arsha, very amazed by the beauty of Rania who usually already looks beautiful without makeup polish, but she was not, now it looks more beautiful with a long white wedding dress that he wears.

Rania continued to smile slowly by keeping her head down, not daring to look at Arsha who was getting closer to her, then her steps stopped right in front of Arsha.

"Rania, let's see your husband. ", whispered Mother slowly in Rania's ear. Rania's heart was pounding more and more, 'Suami..?', Rania clasped tightly onto the bouquet of small white roses that were on both palms of her hands, holding onto the small white rose, trying to gather all his courage to look at Arsha who was already standing in front of him.

'Bismilbornrahmanirrahim... ', Rania closed her eyes tightly, then raised her head to look at Arsha who was looking at her fixedly with a look and a smile that was difficult for Rania to interpret.

"Do you not want to say hello to your husband, Ra", said the Father roused Rania from his daydream.

Rania immediately grabbed Arsha's right hand and kissed her.

"Assalamu'alaikum." said Rania slowly, almost inaudible to Arsha.

"Waalaikumsalam.". ", said Arsha stammeredly because he was still shocked by the touch of Rania's hand, this was the first time he came into direct contact with Rania, Rania, because Rania has always been very careful not to come into contact with men who are not muhrimnya. Arsha smiled awkwardly looking at Rania who was back down, feeling the subtle sigh that still roared her body due to the touch of Rania's hand.

Sarah stood behind the garden, staring at Rania and Arsha from a distance, who were busy greeting the invited guests. Sometimes Sarah rubbed her eyes wet with tears, then fix the sunglasses that she deliberately wears to cover her eyes, then stepped closer to Arsha and Rania who had finished greeting guests and were now standing near the buffet table to grab a drink.

"Mom... Sarah. ", said Rania stammered, shocked to look at Sarah who was already standing in front of him. Arsha immediately turned around when Rania mentioned Sarah's name.

"West... ".

Sarah stood haughty with a slight lift of her chin, alternately staring at Arsha and Rania in front of her.

"Rania, how do you feel now?".

Rania is speechless to hear Sarah's question, it is a subtle allusion to her who suddenly just got married to Sarah's much loved one. Rania was bowed in, trying to hold back her tears because of the guilt on Sarah who had been so good to her. 'Am I the same as the actor?', all this time Sarah believed in Rania, and made Rania as a place of outpouring of her heart. But now...

"Sarah, I told you, Rania is innocent."

"I'm just asking how she feels, am I wrong to ask that?".

"I'm sorry, Miss Sarah. I've made a big mistake with Ms. Sarah, please forgive me, Ma'am", said Rania, looking down, not daring to look at Sarah because she felt so ashamed and guilty.

Sarah chuckled with her little laugh, then sighed heavily.

"Here you go, I don't want to mess up your beautiful wedding, you two are indeed fit to get married. Rania, you have to take care of your husband, he is a very dangerous man, so you should always be careful and careful with him. Do not let you become his victim, like me, never avenged his love because he was in love with death.. "

"Sarah!", cut Arsha quickly.

"Ups, sorry. Almost got caught. Rania if you want to know more about your husband, you can ask me again, I have a lot of big secrets about your husband."

"Enough Sarah!", said Arsha in a slightly suppressed voice so as not to be heard by other guests.

"Why? You afraid your secret might be exposed, Sha? Are you afraid Rania knows about your past?".

"Sarah, stop right now, or me... "

"Who?! Oh my God, it's true you're Sarah."

"Cantica?!" Sarah looked at Cantika who was patting her shoulder from behind.

"Yes, I'm Cantika, pangling time is the same me?".

"That's. ", point Sarah's hand at Cantika's enlarged belly.

"Hehehe... It's been almost six months. Come with me, I miss you.", Cantika drew Sarah's hand, then glanced at Arsha with a wink in her one eye. Arsha smiled understandably, it turns out Cantika intended to help her brother so as not to be disturbed by Sarah, 'Smart also my sister'.
