Ride in Bed
Barakallah
From the direction of the ballroom entrance, Budi appeared to enter with a girl who was tall, white and her face was also beautiful. Micky, Hardi and Bobi are made to gawk, they can't believe Budi managed to take a beautiful girl to the wedding reception of his ex-boyfriend.
Not only were the three men shocked, Sandra and Mila were similarly shocked. Mila rubbed her eyes many times to make sure that what she saw was not a mirage. Sandra who recognized the girl beside Budi could also only gape at him.
“Inge..” Sandra murmured slowly but could still be heard by her friends.
“Lo know, San?” ask Mila.
“Know. He's Inge, my classmate. She was famous in my department, the most beautiful girl. Listen also he's a selebgram now.”
“Wah.. si Budi use pellets what can dapetin clear rich so,” said Bobi.
“That Inge's eyes don't have cataracts, right? Kok want the same Budi,” Micky still amazed.
“His clepek-klepek same charm Budi who is not canned,” ceplos Hardi who immediately greeted another laugh.
With a face full of pride, Budi took Inge, the girl with him to the stage. Now the man was one hundred percent ready to face the Goddess. He will show the former idol of his heart that, if one of the great Goddess has rejected it. The proof is now that he managed to hold a girl whose beauty is not inferior to the Goddess.
Seeing the arrival of Budi and Inge, of course, made Dewi surprised. He did not think at all that the girl Budi brought to his wedding party was like an angel down from the bajaj. With his chin raised, Budi continued to walk toward the couple.
Without Budi realizing it, actually Inge was also surprised to see the groom was a lecturer in his college faculty. Although the girl did not study in the department that Adrian taught. But the good looks of the lecturer have spread to all faculties. And Inge is among Adrian's secret admirers.
“Congratulations sir Rian, Dewi. May your marriage sakina mawadah warohmah.”
“Aamiin. thank you, Budi,” Adrian replied as he threw his smile.
“So who married Mr. Rian,” chirps Inge while looking at Adrian and also Goddess alternately.
“You know me?” adrian asked confusedly.
“Dia Inge, sir. Student majoring HI.”
“Ooh.”
That's the only answer that came out of Adrian's mouth. The goddess beside her husband looked at Inge unblinkingly. Silently Budi smiled at the attitude of the Goddess. He thought the Goddess must have been hit to see him move on so quickly. Though Dewi looked at Inge because she did not like the girl to look at Adrian with a look of adoration.
“Wi.. congratulations yes. May this be the last wedding of elo.”
“Aamiin. thanks, Bud. This lo?” girl
“Iya, know his name Inge.”
The goddess reached out her hand to Inge, yet the girl only replied to her origin. He certainly knows Dewi because Inge is one of the fans of The Soul. He remembers very well when Aditya introduced Dewi as his wife. And now Aditya's widow was married again to Adrian, one of the lecturers he liked. Aditya's death has not been in existence for a year.
“Congratulations yes. I didn't expect to be that fast you forgot Adit,” ceplos Inge.
The girl's words startled Goddess and Adrian. Nor was he less surprised. Two weeks to know Inge, he did not know that his gang was a big fan of The Soul, a band fronted by the late Aditya.
The goddess who was about to refute Inge's words was forced to swallow her words again as soon as she felt Adrian's embrace on her waist. The man's eyes hinted at him not to say anything. Finally the Goddess chose silence. Budi immediately took Inge down from the stage when feeling a different atmosphere after Inge's speech.
After the death of Budi and Inge, Dewi began to issue his uneg-unegnya. He was really offended to hear Inge's words earlier. Adrian did not say anything, the man hugged his wife and rubbed her back gently.
“Not put to heart what you just heard. We cannot explain our situation to everyone because not necessarily people want to hear and accept it. Leave them with their own perceptions. Don't mind them, what matters is that we are happy. Me, you, Arkhan and Adit certainly.”
Adrian's words how the water of ice immediately cools the heart of the Goddess who burned with anger. He was also convinced that after his reception, gossip about him on campus would definitely spread. Whatever it was, the Goddess had already prepared her heart to accept everything. Even though it is difficult, he will still try to think positively.
After getting off the stage, Budi immediately invited Inge to meet his friends. The goal was definitely to show off the girl to the others. His arrival was immediately greeted by Bobi and the others. Budi proudly introduced Inge to others, except Sandra, because they already knew each other.
“Nge.. how do you want to be invited to go together Budi? Stock guys in HI already abis ya?’ ceplos Mila's.
“Dih the lambe nyinyir kaga can be put on her mouth,” sambar Budi accompanied toyoran on the head of the girl.
“You are no longer dipelet is the same him?” keep Bobi.
“You know this is Budi?” Micky pointed to Budi.
“Iya, I know it's Budi.”
“Yes that way in your eyes he turned into Jeff Nichols because of his pellet.”
Budi breathed a harsh breath hearing the condemnation of his companions. He wanted to feel that he cursed his best friends. But Inge looks relaxed in response to Budi's friend's speech.
“Nge.. You are the same dating what exactly?” ask Sandra. He was really curious how this friend could hang on Budi whose face was below ISO standards.
“Still guard first,” replied Inge relaxed which increasingly makes Budi's nose kembis.
“Try your diruqiyah first. Aja your eyes burem fitting see Budi.”
“Jiaaahhh. If Inge had realized too, he must have left elo, hahaha.”.
"Haha... Bener, now Inge is still fainting, so want to be the same elo," continued Micky.
“Campret!”
Laughter was heard at their table. He was made into months by his friends. The man immediately got up from his seat and invited Inge to enjoy the dishes provided rather than listening to the absurd babble of his friends who only destroyed his pride.
The attention of Bobi and the others was immediately distracted when they heard the sound from the direction of the entertainment stage. It turned out that The Soul was already preparing to entertain the guests present. Fahri prepares in front of his mic stand.
“Happy noon everyone. First of all, we would like to congratulate the two happy brides. We pray that your marriage lasts until grandparents, and only death separates.”
“Aamiin.”
The sound of the audience accepting the prayer made by the vocalist. Adrian and Dewi also agree. Both of them were sitting in the chair to enjoy the song. The host paused for a moment the guests who were about to congratulate him.
“Alright.The first song we will bring is a song containing congratulations and prayers for the bride and groom. A song by Maher Zain, Barakallah.”
After Fahri said that, the sound of music was immediately heard. The rhythmic song up the beat immediately filled the ballroom. Fahri picks up the mic in front of him, then starts singing while looking at the bride and groom.
“We're here on this special day. Our hearts are full of pleasure. A day that brings the two of you. Close together. We're gathered here to celebrate. A moment you'll always treasure.
Let's ask God to make your love. Last forever's. Let's raise our hands. Make du'a. Like the Prophet us. And with one voice let's all say.”
Invitational guests who attended the wedding reception Dewi and Adrian were swept away by the song performed by Fahri. They sang the lyrics in the refrain section. The song is very popular and has often been played when Ramadan arrives. Though the content of the song is a prayer for couples who are celebrating their happy day.
“Baraka Allahu. The baraka 'alaykuma. Wa jama'a baynakuma fi khayr. Allahu lakuma Baraka. The baraka 'alaykuma. Wa jama'a baynakuma fi khayr.”
All the guests sang the lyrics along with Fahri. The Goddess and Adrian also sang at their seats. While Arkhan who was in Roxas' lap did not stop moving. The boy seemed to enjoy the appearance of the band made by his late father.
Pipit did not stop smiling looking at the excited Arkhan. His hands moved to the rhythm of the song. Occasionally Roxas lifted the boy up and positioned him to his feet. Arkhan looks so excited.
At another table, Indira could not help her smile hearing Doni who also sang the refrain. Although his voice was far from pleasant to hear, the man still sang. Dawn and Dita had to close both their ears to avoid noise pollution created by Doni.
After singing a song that contains prayers for the bride and groom, Fahri continues his singing. She started singing love songs. The man also invited guests who came to want to go on stage, singing with him.
Mila initially offered to sing. Good thing Sandra, Bobi, Hardi and Micky can stop the girl in time. Ikmal did not stop laughing at the behavior of Mila and her friends. In her eyes Mila really looks adorable.
“For this occasion, let me take the bride and groom up on stage to sing a song for all of us.”
Fahri's speech was immediately answered by the applause of invited guests and also a shout asking the bride and groom to sing. Fahri got off the entertainment stage and walked to the stage, asking the bride and groom to sing. At first Adrian refused, but because of the persuasion Fahri and Dewi, finally the man wanted to too.
The thunderous applause accompanied the bride's steps towards the stage of entertainment. Arkhan shouted in excitement seeing his two parents take the stage of entertainment. The boy seemed to be getting excited. Roxas got up from his seat then walked towards the front of the stage so that Arkhan could see more clearly his parents.
After agreeing on the song to be performed, Fahri signaled to his friends to start playing music. Goddess and Adrian stand face to face with their hands holding a mic. They sing Maher Zain's All Life song. The song will be sung in a duet version.
The song begins with the excerpt of Rangga guitar followed by other musical instruments. Adrian preparing to sing his part. He brought the mic closer to his mouth, preparing to sing the first verse.
“I'm grateful you're here love. Kalbuku is accompanying. And to you I want to tell you
You're the light of heart. I used to be the most out of love. Until you come change everything. Oh here is my promise to you.”
Although it can not be said melodious, but Adrian's voice is still worth to be heard and does not cause noise pollution. Dawn and Doni were quite surprised to see his best friend was willing to sing in front of many people. Since being together with the Goddess, the man had indeed undergone many changes in his life.
The same is true of Ida and Toni. Their usual firstborns were covered and more silent, little by little starting to change since being together with the Goddess. Ida wiped the water in the corner of her eye. He was so moved to see the change of the child, as well as Toni.
“You are the Grace of the Maha Rahim. May God bless us. My soul-boosting lover. Pray for you and me in Jannah. I found my strength by your side. You have been perfect my whole life. Oh here is my promise to you.”
The goddess sang her part while continuing to look at her husband. Adrian grabs the hand of the Goddess and holds it tightly. Highlight his eyes filled with love look at the woman who is now a companion of his life.
“Long life with you. My loyalty is sincere to you. Until the end of time you are my love my love. All life over time. I am grateful for your presence. Now and forever I am yours. Name my heart.”
Back they sang part refrain together. The hands of the two are getting tighter. Everyone present seemed to be able to feel the love of both of them so great. Adrian releases his grasp, then takes Arkhan from Roxas's sling. Carrying Arkhan, the man continued his singing along with the Goddess.
Roxas who was still standing near the stage could only look at the small family before him tearfully. As a living witness of the love of Adrian and Goddess, he can feel their happiness that was delayed. The presence of Aditya in their midst actually becomes a bridge for the two to unite and strengthen the love between the two.
Adrian and Dewi end the song by giving a kiss on his son's cheek. Arkhan's smile expanded and revealed his dimples. All the members of The Soul and Roxas looked stunned at Arkhan. It was like seeing Aditya there.
