Secret of the Heart

Picking Up Dreams

A week later and three days after Kia, Miko and Dio's return from the city. The long awaited day of the two great families.

In the VIP room of an event hotel, there was a flurry of people who would decorate me and juggle being an extraordinary bride.

"Make everything look fresh, natural according to the theme of the event," send Meta to two make up assistants.

"Up to you Met, the important thing is not to make me like a clown" I chanted in Lala's amused laughter from behind me.

"Not going to say."

Meta is still busy preparing some ornaments that will be used for headpice.

"When did they come La?"

"Who? Miko?"

"Not all our families."

"So Andi called, they're still getting ready. Maybe we'll leave home soon."

"I'm sorry to trouble you La, for accompanying me here."

"Just relax, the twins also enjoy their Oma and Opa."

Now that Om and Tante have been to Andi's house more often, maybe they're a little lonely. Kak Ary who lives in Jakarta rarely comes home because of busyness and Andi. Until those who relented to visit the grandchildren, because the distance where Andi lived was closer, so somewhat more often visited.

While at Kia's house, everyone was busy preparing to leave.

"Ary.. don't forget to tell your wife, for guest control in front," cried my aunt from inside the room.

"Andi. don't be careless to take care of Hendra, the twins will let Papa take care."

"You had that in the box last night, didn't you?" ask Auntie to Mama.

"I put it in my bag, I put it in my bag" Mama replied, holding Papa.

"Come on. sooner will be late," asked Auntie while opening the car door.

An hour later at the hotel.

"OK... is done," said Meta when confirming the location of the headdress slowly.

"We take a picture first."

The photographer sets up the lights and camera. Lala helped me towards the sofa that had been laid out. Not long ago the sound of the door on the knock. The twins came in with my extended family.. Bena even looked at the door while shouting happily.

"Mama Kia's... Bena's coming. Mama Kia is so beautiful, Bena wants to be like Mama Kia later when she grows up."

Welcomed the boisterous laughter of everyone as she hugged me.

"really? Do you want to work like Mama Kia?"

"Not... Bena wants to be a beautiful bride" she replied still hugging me.

"It's noisy at last, if there's Bena,"Lala said as she pulled Bena's hand.

My aunt took out a box that looked a bit worn, but was very well maintained because it was well kept.

"Wear this," Auntie opened the box and saw a gold necklace with a sprinkling of diamonds all over the chain. I was amazed to see the beauty of the light emanated in every diamond. Then I looked at Aunt and Mama who were standing in front with a sense of urgency in the chest to make me almost cry.

"Don't cry Kia. please. I don't want to fix your makeup anymore" Meta whispered as he stroked the back of my hand.

"This is our family legacy, ever used by Grandma, Your Mama and Aunt when married. Now it's your turn to hold it, it'll be worn by all the women in our family, if she gets married" Mama explained as she put the necklace around my neck.

"So this is Grandma's necklace? Is it decades old?"

"This was Grandpa's gift when he married Grandma."

I saw the necklace I was wearing in front of the glass.

"Ohh, that's so pretty."

"Take good care so that your child can wear it when married later" said Aunty happily.

"Secret to our families."

"Get me Papa," tell Mama.

I saw Papa sitting on the chair joking with Beny. Immediately I approached and Papa smiled broadly at me in bridal attire.

"Pa.. kia wants to get married," I said stiflingly so as not to cry.

"Papa knows, Papa is happy to still see Kia get married. Tell Bimo that if he makes Kia sad, he will face Papa."

Until now Papa still thinks Miko is Bimo. Although explained many times Papa still called Miko by the name of Bimo. Sometimes Mama tried to explain but Papa still insisted that Miko is Bimo, we finally all resigned. Fortunately Miko did not object to the opinion of Papa who is now sick.

I looked back at Papa's face lovingly. Kiss and hold Papa's hand tightly. Now I realized that Papa loved me the most, even though he had done bad to Bimo. It was all because Papa loved me too much to the point of being blinded by anger.

"Let's take a picture of the family before going down to the event," asked Auntie while waving her hand towards the photographer who was ready with the camera.

************

The atmosphere is a bit crisp at Miko's house because Tito mas from earlier looking for a ring box that Lina put in the desk drawer.

"What's the drawer in the drawer, brother?" ask Tito while opening one by one.

"Number three," cried Lina's sister as she finished her makeup.

"Okay. can."

"Quick! You also have to prepare, later too late," sister Lina came to take the ring box from the hands of Tito mas and Tito mas rushed to change clothes.

"Dio.. Where is Dio?"

Lina's sister circled her gaze across the room as she did not see Dio who was in charge of carrying the wedding ring.

"Dio's in Miko's room;" explained Tari who came out of the room accompanied by Luthfi and Raffa. It seems they are all ready to go.

"Let's see Mama and Aunt Hera inside," said Lina Pad Tari.

"Luthfi tell everyone to get ready, we're leaving in half an hour. It's not funny that old guests wait."

Inside Miko's room, Dio sits on the bed watching Miko being helped by the makeup artist to wear the bridal outfit and gives the final polish by spraying perfume on Miko's body.

"How is Papa today Dio?"

Dio simply nodded, smiled and gave a thumbs up. Mas Tito walked in and looked at Miko with a happy smile. Back when Bimo died he was so sad not to see a younger brother get married. But now Miko is turning back the sadness with happiness. Mas Tito is now the one who escorted Miko and gave advice to Miko in their father's place.

"It's always been a good husband. Do everything with all your heart, if you promise God, you are responsible to Him."

"For me to marry quite once in my life. I'm mentally prepared now" Miko said for sure.

"Remember.you are supported by all families. So if anything happens, don't ask for our opinion."

"Good Mas."

"Let's all go, let's go," take Mas Tito.

***********

In front of the house, Mama and Aunt Hera smile to see Miko out of the house. She hugged Mama who was in a wheelchair. While crouching he clasped Mama's hand.

"Ma... Miko is getting married now. Pray that it will be smooth and happy with Kia forever."

"Definitely, son, that's what Mama and everyone expected" Mama said with a sobbing.

"It looks like Miko's marriage is more heartwarming than others, the proof is that your mother can't sleep thinking about all Miko," explained Aunt Hera.

"really? Don't be so Ma, Mama's gonna be sick."

"Mama is too happy, Mama is healthy. What about your mother?"

"Miko had been there yesterday with Kia and Dio, as well as to Papa and Bimo's place when she returned from the city."

"Mama will take her place today, Mama is very grateful to your mother."

"Miko understood, thank you Ma," Miko said as she kissed Mama's cheek. Once again Mama hugged and kissed Miko's forehead.

"Mama is proud, you're different from Papa."

***********

In front of the hotel a number of golf carts are waiting to take the Miko family to the wedding venue. It is located in the back garden of the hotel.  According to the theme of the wedding in the open place must be planned carefully. The hotel manager welcomed and escorted the Miko family.

This wedding is not big. Only family and close friends, so they are more familiar and can blend in with each other. When Miko gets to the place, she is greeted by a close friend in the office and makes Miko more happy when she sees Mommy with Riza also coming. They had arrived before Miko arrived, Riza threw a smile while waving her hand and Miko immediately approached.

"Thank you for coming, Mother. Thank you Za for everything, I'm waiting for your invitation too." Riza smiled as she nodded.

"Happy mother.really happy," staggered Mother said.

"Thank you Mother, Miko will always love Mother."

"You should know, one of the happiness of a mother is to see her child happily married. You still Miko Mother's child even though later she has a family."

"Miko promises will always see Mother when there is time."

"So soon, it'll be late for the show."

"Yes Mother."

*********

"Hello Bro. Happy marriage."

Arya and her office mates have come and are sitting at the right side table. Right on the road to Miko towards the place of the wedding vows.

"Finally legitimate as well Mik, good luck until old age," Alan stood up while giving something to Miko.

"What's this?"

"It will be opened when both Kia, let's be more surprised," said Alan with a serious face.

"Like a doubt."

"Hey.it's me who chooses," Arya tried to convince Miko.

"Ahhh... more doubtful if you participate in choosing," sansi Miko.

Wiwin shut his mouth holding back the laughter as well as the others, seeing Miko's expression of doubt.

"Congratulations Mik, ' Santi's brother stood in front of Miko.

"I can't wait to see Kia in bridal attire" she continued.

"Thank you, brother."

Sis Santi also came accompanied by my husband and Lisa my assistant.

"Miko.. here.. congratulations....."

Nisa waved her hand calling Miko. Miko smiled as she nodded back at Nisa's words with Rima who came with their respective families.

"Bride, please stand by in position," the MC voice called Miko, quickly half-running Miko headed there.

***********

The trip to the event was very unique, I was surrounded by several servants who spread white cloths covering my body, so that it was not visible to anyone. Except Lala led me to the park. My family went there first and sat at the front desk with Miko's family.

When you arrive in front of the new guests the cover cloth is opened. Everyone clapped and I saw Wiwin hugging Alan in tears of joy. He waved and encouraged me through a fist in front of the chest.

I saw Papa heading towards me with a smile. Stretching out my hand and holding my hand towards Miko. Miko lowered her head and smiled broadly seeing me walk towards her.

"Papa now leave Kia to you. Love and love him like the love of Papa and Mama," Papa once said to Miko.

"Surely Pa, I promise."

Miko took my hand from Papa's. Pulling me slowly forward and speaking affectionately.

"Let's both be with me, we're taking dreams to happiness."

I nodded and followed Miko without hesitation. With the sound of the singer of the accompanying band with melodious and shahdu.

You and I are one

Blue sea arungi

There will be no power

Teasing its course.........

You and I are one

Together we take the dream.......

(song by KLA and kerispatih)
