That day, has now arrived...
Ainun still felt like a dream, the next day the wedding was approaching him and he would carry it out.
It is not a marriage as many people want.
But no more marriage contracts.
She should be happy or sad on the day of the wedding.
The nude and white wedding dress has been prepared for the two weddings.
Still remembered clearly his conversation with Abah and Umminyanya 1 month ago, until he is now in this place and will hold the wedding in the end.

Assalamualaik.. Ummi, Ai," said his brother who just returned to check his boarding school.
"It turns out you are here anyway, Abah started looking for" continued Abah.
Ainun and Umminya were a little surprised by the arrival of his Abah, they were also anxious when his Abah heard their talk, but they still answered his brother's greetings and questions.
"Waalaikumussalam Abah, have you returned? Hehehe yes we are here, sorry we are Abah." said Ainun and Umminya.
"Yes have gone home, Abah was looking for you, here anyway, fun to chat." said Abnah with a light laugh.
"Hehehe is Abah, we are here" Ainun said.
"Hehehe was busy chatting until he forgot, sorry Abah.maafin us." said Umminya.
"Yes Ummi, no papa." said his brother with a smile.
"Ohya, if Abah can know what to talk about?" ask her brother back.
"Hummmm." said Ummi and Ainun who were confused to answer what and how..
"Iniloh Abah's..Ainun.." said Umminya deliberately teasing Ainun.
"Why Ummi with Ainun?" ask Abah.
"Ainun, Abah." pauses Umminya who again seduces Ainun.
"Why the hell? Abah was curious..hemm?" ask Abah.
"Ainun.." said Umminya paused his speech.
"Ummi .." said Ainun who paused his speech.
"This ainun help ummi cook" said Umminya finally.
While Ainun smiled with relief.
"It is so anyway.but.." said his brother who deliberately paused his speech.
"But what is Abah?" ask Umminya.
"But Abah heard your talk" said his brother with a smile, but made them shocked simultaneously.
"Have you heard Ummi's conversation with Ainun?" ask her slightly surprised.
"Yes Abah heard." said his brother briefly.
"So someone is falling cinto ya ummi. how serious is it so fast?" asked his brother who seemed happy to hear the news.
"No Abah" said Ainun slowly with a bow.
"No, you're being honest with Abah, because Abah is no papa. That way we can speed up this marriage." said his brother with a smile.
'Iya Abah, Ummmi also agreed to stay waiting for an answer from Ainun only this." said Umminya.
"Where's Ai?" ask Umminya.
"Yes, how's Ai?" ask Abah.
"Don, man,... Ai istikharah first can ya, Abah, Ummi? answer Ainun.
"Humm can dong Abah's son, Ummi.. You can be istikharah because you have the right to rethink your decision, because marriage is not a play." said Abahnya.
"Yes Ummi, Abah.. Ai will rethink Ai's decision. Once again thank you for understanding Ai and giving Ai time to Istharkankannya also think about it." said Ainun.
"Alright, we wait for your answer" said Abahan, who then patted Aini's shoulder and passed.
"Ai." said uminya with a smile, and patted Ainun's shoulder slowly and then continued cooking.
"Ai help cook again ya ummi" said Ainun.
After cooking it, Ainun and Umminya put the food back on the dining table and continued eating together.
Sometimes they continue the conversation about the match.
Until making Ainun really difficult to rest in peace or sleep well after the conversation.
*****
"Yok, we are now ready and really there" said the person who prepared the wedding to his friend.
"Let's yok.."
Their conversation instantly broke Ainun's daydream.
Once again, Ainun could only stare inside those who were preparing for the wedding tomorrow.
It feels really luxurious for him, the decor they prepare for his wedding tomorrow.
Lots of small lights to add to the romantic atmosphere, a light white decor, and much more, which makes Ainun honestly amazed by the decor they prepared for his wedding.
Shouldn't he be happy?
Shouldn't every couple be happy?
But why for him there is no sense of happiness that he feels except the tastelessness and tightness.
Could it be because marriage is based without love?
And because this wedding is nothing more than on paper? contract marriage?
"Well..." Ainun breathed quite a long breath, it felt like he was still in disbelief, the next day of his wedding.
Unfortunately, this is not a dream wedding.
A marriage that everyone should dream of but not for themselves.
For him this marriage was like a nightmare for him and he was eager to wake up from the dream.
Unfortunately he could not wake up from the dream, because this is the reality he will face.
There was nothing he could do but keep going through a marriage that wasn't this dream.
Without feeling it, the tear-spout began to wet his cheeks, for a moment Ainun let the rounder continue to wet his cheeks, and he did not stop at all crying.
Because Ainun wants the tightness he feels does not make it even more crowded.
Never once imagined he would undergo a marriage without love, marriage on contract.
But rejecting him is the same as disappointing both parents.
He can only have this marriage without his parents knowing about it.
Again he could only stare blankly at those who were preparing the wedding decor that was passing by in front of him.

Elsewhere, Salsa tonight is preparing for her wedding day with happiness, in contrast to Ainun .
It just so happened that their wedding day was together.
Salsa prepared a white wedding dress for her wedding tomorrow, while Ainun wore a nude pink wedding dress.
"Humm Mama is happy, finally your wedding day is soon.
Tomorrow you are married to your child and will be part of this family, even though you have considered you a child since then, ever since you first saw you, especially since you knew you were going to be Mama's daughter-in-law." Mama Aldo told Salsa.
"Yes Ma, Alhamdulillah finally the day that awaited it arrived, Salsa was very happy." said Salsa who paused for a moment before continuing his speech.
"And Salsa also first met Mama, Salsa felt the love of a mother, after a long time Salsa did not feel it." said Salsa who turned into a sad and sad tone.
"Son, mother has also branded you as her own child, especially you know that you do not have a daughter and want to have a daughter" said Mama Aldo who immediately embraced Salsa gave her warmth, and she was very happy, tranquility and comfort.
Salsa immediately hugged his mother Aldo with a cry that he tried to pendam in the embrace.
"Salsa is also happy Ma, thanks Ma. Salsa has also considered Mama like Salsa's own mother because Salsa has long lost her mother figure.
Salsa is happy Ma, very happy that day is expected soon to arrive and Salsa will soon be the family of Mama." said Salsa in the embrace by holding back her tears.
"Yes Mama is also happy Salsa, very happy.you will be part of the family of Mama and we will continue to be together because you have become our family and you are also already a child of mama, and you are also a child of mama, mama will try to take good care of you, give you affection and will not hurt you." said his mother Aldo who increasingly embraced Salsa tightly.
"Thank you Ma.mank you Ma." said Salsa who embraced Mama Aldo more tightly.
They are happy waiting for a happy tomorrow, in contrast to Ainun who can only look down on her wedding tomorrow.
