It was unfair to Tama. But the face, voice, and smile of the man on stage really resembled the figure of bang Is. And that pair of dazzling eyes seemed to say, 'this is me, still remember me?'

The complicated feeling that triggered the behavior beyond reason was really regrettable. He should have been able to keep Tama's feelings. Although it did not show anger, but a bitter smile that had appeared on the firm face had explained everything.

Im sorry.

"We both had someone in the past." Tama's gaze was straight staring in both of her eyes. "It all happened long before we met. The past is our right. You with the deceased. I'm with Kinan."

He could say nothing but promise himself. Starting from this second will also make the figure of Tama as the only man in view. As Tama treated him so kindly and honorably.

"WO same order smoothly?" Not prolonging the language. Calmly diverting the topic without cornering it.

Invitations have been printed and some have been shared. Several times he did clothes fittings. The dishes with a series of food tests are also completed. Likewise, the committee consisting of PKK mothers of Koneng village. And a few days ago, Anjani with Niar's mother invited him to look at the atmosphere where the reception was held. One thing that made him stumble.

Yes, he understands very well the position of Tama who has many colleagues and acquaintances. Need a place above the word worthy to entertain them all. But the series of fantastic costs that Tama has to spend makes it inexhaustible.

"Thank you very much before." He must say thank you first before expressing his heart. "But ... is this not excessive?"

Tama smiled faintly. "Anja says you protest a lot."

He looked embarrassed.

"It's nothing." He looked back at Tama." "The 300 mayam is already incredible for me. Plus a fancy party at a star hotel. Honeymoon with the whole family."

"Too much for a woman like me. Should ... You can be wiser and not waste money like this."

"That's all." Tama looked at him fixedly. "For now, we do it my way."

He nodded in not understanding.

"When we get married." Tama smiled knot. "We do it your way."

And the conversation ahead of the wedding felt deeper.

"Mom Cut, does he want to stay with us?"

Mamak, since Niar's mother and Setyo Yuwono's extended family proposed to him officially has repeatedly confirmed.

"Mama stays here. No need to worry. Many of the neighbors are like brothers. You live with a new family. Bring your own happiness."

He swallowed. "Mamak .. still want to live in your own home."

Tama looked at him with her eyebrows intertwined.

He certainly tried to persuade. Even asking for help Agam and Anjani. But mamak remained firm on his stance. Insist on staying home alone.

"There's a cing Ella." Apparently Agam was not able to penetrate the solid wall of Mamak's will. "I'm dropping my mom to Ella's cing. Let them stay at our house to accompany mom."

"What do people say, Gam?" He shook. "We are both healthy and well. But you're still living with someone else? What kind of child are we?"

Agam, who looked much more mature than the last time he could remember, tried to calm down. "Mom will be fine, Brother."

Until then Tama finds the best way out. Tama even conveyed it directly to mamak. "As long as I go to Bandung, it will feel calmer if Bu Cut is willing to accompany my wife and my four children."

He could smile with relief when he finally agreed to Tama's request. "To preserve the honor of a wife who is being left the duty of the husband." That's my mom's answer.

The housing issue is over, there is still a children's school. The distance from Tama official house to school is quite far. But children, especially Icad, do not want to move to a new school.

"There's a design there. It's easier for you to go to school in the same place." Tama tries to understand.

But Icad shook his head. Umay and Sasa saw the attitude his brother chose immediately followed.

"When you change schools ... Sasa can still meet Zhie, Raline, the same other friends, no, Ma?"

Tama smiled. "Sasa will make new friends."

Sasa's forehead wrinkled the sign of thinking hard. But Umay interrupted.

"I have friends at school, Ma. Later if you move .. must find a new friend again, dong?"

When he was confused to choose. Whether to follow the wishes of the children or simplify Tama's affairs. On the one hand, he does not want children to feel burdened with school affairs. Moreover, the place to go is a high school, Pusaka Bangsa. He himself is not sure the children will adapt well. Bad memories of National Heritage that had befallen Agam in the past felt quite disturbing.

But on the other hand, he also did not want to break Tama's concentration. Because children attend school in different places with a fairly far distance.

"Children don't have to change schools." Finally Tama made a pretty reassuring decision. "Pity if they have to experience two new moods at a time. Let's just slow down."

There is nothing to do but thank you. Because Tama has put children's feelings above everything else.

And Tama replied with a meaningful smile. "Date 14 when is it coming? Is time slow now?"

It won't be long. Because there's so much to do.

"Sister, tomorrow's the vaccine schedule, yes. Don't forget." Anjani is very reliable for this.

He whispered to Agam. "Anjani was too eager to take care of our wedding. I don't feel good enough to make it bother."

Agam just laughed. "He got a special assignment letter from Mas Tama. Lagian Anja seneng if repotin. Even bother yourself like that."

"Hush!" He doesn't agree.

"Happy people can do this. Brother knows for himself how I and Anja are when they get married."

He understands. Agam could not give a dream wedding to Anjani. It was all limited and in an atmosphere full of sadness. So instead, he just followed all of Anjani's wishes.

"Sir, sovernir akadnya fixed using pouch embroidery typical Aceh, yes."

"Sister, suvernir exclusive recipe, benefits, but not pricey. Is that what you want?"

"Sir, time for body treatment ."

Anjani himself drove her to a famous beauty salon in the Kebayoran area to perform a ritual treatment ahead of the wedding. He was stunned when he first entered the room that had only been seen on exclusive magazine sheets or television screens.

The atmosphere is dim, calm, comfortable, with the fragrance of spices whose aroma has been smelled from a distance of many meters makes the length of treatment time becomes not felt.

"Why?" He asked in wonder because Anjani was constantly looking at him with her mouth open.

"There's an angel coming down from kahyangan." Anjani still gaped. "Mas Tama could faint if she saw Brother. The most prettest woman (the prettiest woman) ...."

And the culmination of all the grueling preparation is the three days leading up to the wedding. The night of boh gaca. He refused and preferred the Quran. Because boh gaca nights are not usually done by a widow like her.

"No ban even if it's not a girl." Mama rubbed her arm slowly. "As an expression of gratitude kaleuh suedeh teuka bahgia (after suffering come happy)."

The boh gaca night series begins in the morning. Located in the living room that has been transformed by Lokananta Enterprise into a venue for the event. The entire wall is hung with a golden embroidered curtain consisting of a colorful vertical cloth joint (in Aceh called tiree). A thick red carpet patterned with broad rugs covers the entire surface of the floor. And the seat is in the form of a mattress complete with bolsters and golden-gloved pillows to lean on.

All prepared supplies such as girlfriend leaves and peusijuek equipment are placed on a decorated plate. Then placed in a dish container (daleung) with a mat of gold thread embroidery typical Aceh (tika meusujo).

Late in the afternoon, the guests began to arrive. All present at this event were women. Including Fatma's brother, Nurti's mother, Lili's sister, and the chairman of the Kemala foundation plt along with five other people who represent the members' wives.

Then the event opened with congratulations from the guests. Everyone hugged and hugged him tightly. Bu Nurti and Cing Weny did not even stop sobbing even though he had tried to calm down. Bu Nurti must have remembered her late husband. While cing Weny, the,

"Gue was moved .. You finally got the same match that had a uniform. Your sustenance is very good, Cut."

Some people whispered to each other. Making his face red to remember the tragedy of Tama's uniform which was accidentally carried away overnight stored in his bag.

After shaking hands, he read the letter of Ar-Rahman followed by the prayer of the Qur'an. Then listen to the tausiyah (nasehat) delivered by Ustadzah Mutia.

"Marriage is the longest service. It takes knowledge, patience, struggle, and sincerity in accompanying the husband. To be the way of good in every circumstance, both light and dark." ©

After that, he sat on the bed. On the right is stored food containers (daleung) containing peusijuek and bu leukat equipment (fresh and sticky rice). On the left there is a food container (daleung) containing henna leaves and milled stone (bate seumepeh). While his feet were covered with young banana leaves. Then rice began to be sown around him.

Peusijeuk is done alone by mamak followed by the elders of Koneng village. He denied it by kissing the hand of the mother who returned it with prayers of kindness. When finished, the henna leaves are grinded by the PKK mothers alternately.

He was able to meet the guests while eating dishes. In the evening after the Isya prayer, a MUA recommendation from Lokananta Enterprise assisted by three assistants began to color his fingernails and hands using girlfriend leaves. Then paint his fingers, hands, and feet with beautiful carved motifs.

"Beautiful mamaaaa ...." Sasa whispered repeatedly that since the event began until now continued to wander next to him.

"A pretty sister wants to be painted like a mama?" Rose Hanhida the MUA.

Sasa nodded shyly. "Can you do it, Ma?" Sasa whispered in his ears but could be heard clearly by others.

"By shaykali doooong." Mba Hanhida laughed cheerfully. "This ... here .. where his hand love to Auntie .. let cantiiiik kayak mama."

Sasa was painted on his fingers and hands by Syaesya tea, Hanhida's assistant, until he fell asleep. After the MUA team came home and the house was quiet again, then he moved Sasa into the room.

"Mama cantiiiik ...." Sasa's raspy murmur was heard when he was turning on the fan. Ah, apparently delirious.

After making sure Sasa was back asleep, he went out of the room. His ears were heard by the sound of a mother reading Al-Mulk's letter in the room. Then he stepped into my mother's room. The place where Icad and Umay slept since a few days ago.

"Breaking news!" Once the loud enough sound emanating from the television screen made him shocked.

He shook his head as Icad and Umay were already sound asleep but the television was still on. The television also moved into the mamak room since the living room began to be decorated.

He nearly turned off the power button when the news read left him stunned.

"Back with us in breaking news."

"The viewers, fugitive in the Paramayoga corruption case and mastermind of the grand judge's murder were finally arrested by the police this evening at Halim Perdanakusuma airport."

"SJW, who became a fugitive a few months ago, was caught by a special team when it was about to escape using a chartered plane."

And his heart seemed to stop beating when he saw the figure of dark-shirted strapping and black jacket that was escorting a small man down from the plane.

Tama.

He sat by the bed with a nervous feeling. Pay attention to the television screen that is showing the seconds of the arrest.

Is this the answer to why the last few days Tama never contacted him?

"This is our commitment to remain transparent and objective" said the man interviewed by a number of reporters. With the writings of Komjen Ismail Bahureksa, Kabareskrim Polri below.

"We will continue to carry out the investigation and investigation process thoroughly so that it can be accounted for to the community. Proof that all citizens are equal in law."

Suddenly he felt ... afraid of losing the dark-shirted man in the black jacket who occasionally still highlighted the camera.

Tama

How surprised he was when he returned home before dawn and found Reka was sitting in the living room.

"Not slept?" Ask wonder. "Are you awake?"

The designer looked at him with hardened jaws without saying a word.

"Wait for dad?" Guess suspiciously.

The designer still did not answer and immediately turned around to leave.

"They?" Call him to pursue.

But Reka had already rushed into the room and closed the door.

"From yesterday mas Reka did not sleep waiting for Father to come home." Suddenly Agus was already standing behind him with a sleepy face.

Is this another meaning of closeness between a father and son? If true, then he can start to be happy, right? And his happiness was even more complete when one message came across his phone just as the dawn of the morning dawn reverberated.

Future wife 'Assalamu'alaikum. Last night I saw breaking news.'

Future wife: 'Please take good care of yourself and go home safely.'

He smiled and immediately dialed the number 1.

Calling Future Wife ....

"I'm home" he said as soon as the call was raised. "And ready to marry you ...."
