The atmosphere of the originally quiet house is now crowded. Many relatives are coming to bear witness to the marriage contract which will be held 4 hours from now.
Although this isn't my first, I'm no less nervous. I repeatedly recited the prayer so that this event could run smoothly without any problems.
I looked in the mirror, my face still unfinished by an ordinary makeup artist. Not a famous MUA but so far his hands work very satisfactorily. Not too menor, simple but still make me the most beautiful woman in my marriage.
I noticed the hand of the woody man who was printing his work on my face. Very skillful. I smiled at this man who claimed to be named 'Monic' who was also looking at the mirror and smiling at me.
"For tips dong say.. how can your facial skin be this slippery?" The words are still with normal language and can be understood but still with a 'mayy' tone'.
Unlike his people who sometimes use language that can make me think a day and a night to be able to understand it.
Monic glanced at me who was just smiling and turned to look at the row of skin care products that were on my desk.
"Pantes aja ya say.. Your skin is already good and treated in the beauty salon owned by artist xxx whose products are directly sent from the land oppa-oppa beautiful" Candanya who makes me laugh.
"It can be you.." Reply blushed.
"Ga need to use blush on your cheeks you can already blush red like that say..duuhhhh gemessshhhhh I tuhhhh. pengen nyubittt" he said.
"Don't.. later you bother to make up in me again" said I reminded.
He laughed with his baritone voice sticking out "Sorry. sometimes let go of me" he said a little embarrassed.
"Definitely expensive do I care there?" He said, putting my face back on.
"Ga wonder too, your male candidate is not tajirr twirrr... is it not say?" He was still focused on my face.
Monic's gleaming demeanor made me smile to myself "My husband's candidate is just an ordinary person.."
"Fear of taking it, say?" Candidates again.
The ringing sound of the phone from my phone distracts the focus, as well as me. I got a glimpse of the name on my phone screen, and I smiled.
"Thank you, I can still relax.." Say monic and stop the activity then sit on the edge of my bed.
"A little while.." I said and answered with a nod.
"What's wrong?"
"Why did you reject the video call, baby?"
"I'm still not done in this makeup mas"
"You must be beautiful, I want to see"
"Later surprise dong mas"
"Yes too"
"You nervous, man?"
"You are not"
"Of course you're nervous, you've already memorized, right?"
"You're afraid you're wrong when you say ijab kabul later?"
"Yes.."
"Darling..even in a state of sleep mas still can say it"
"Yes.I believe you can do well mas.."
"Are you at the hotel?"
"Udah, I was here 2 hours ago"
"Thank God, it's already yes mas.later I'm not finished-finished if you keep talking to me"
"Yes.mas so impatient want to get there quickly"
"Let's see you later too.."
"I love you too mas"
I still blushed and smiled to myself with his last words of sudden romantic. I put my phone back on the table.
Monic came up to me with an ignorant smile on her face "So very sad... Adek not strong to see" Guraunya again.
"Let's start again.later not finished-finished" said I who tried to divert the conversation so that the red tinge on my face disappeared.
"Hayyuukkkk" said the monic, which began to focus on applying makeup.
Not yet had the monic touch my face with his resplendent hands, the sound of knocking on the door as well as the door that slowly opened made us turn our heads.
Valley stood up wrapped in a batik shirt and jeans that looked very mature unlike usual it was slowly approaching. He looked at me in the mirror.
"You're so beautiful Mel. Even your makeup isn't done you're already this pretty" She praised me.
"Normally also say I'm your boncel" Sindirku pretended to sewot.
"Pengen terribly nyubit your cheeks so hot, but afraid of your makeup destroyed" Guraunya.
"Awas aja if you dare" Threatened me and glanced monic at a glance.
"A little while.." My whisper to the monic that rolled his eyeballs was upset. And he sat back on the edge of the bed.
I turned my body to face Valley who was now looking at me with a sad look.
"What's Vall?" I know there's something he wants to talk about.
Without further ado hugged my body tightly. For a long time he just kept quiet and said nothing. And his attitude made me want to cry but I could bear it.
"In a moment, you belong to someone else. Again. And again I can only be someone else who can only look at you from afar. At least I want to hold you a little longer" he said, which tightened his embrace on me.
"You're not someone else Vall.. You're my best friend, who's been my brother and family to me" I said, calming him down and rubbing his broad back.
"You know very well that's not what I'm forcing Mel to do.." He said that still hugged me.
"I know Vall... Sorry.." I said a little guilty "Later, there will be someone who makes you forget how you feel about me. I'll always pray for you Vall.so you get someone nice and beautiful like me" I end with a joke.
Sure enough, he let go of his embrace and scowled angrily "At least don't boncel like you" he said, joking. I slapped him by pinching his arm
"I'm relieved that Gerry will be with you. Because I know, he really sincerely loves you. I will also always pray for all the best for you, may you be happy until old age" he said with teary eyes.
I can only nod "Thank you Vall.. Thank you for everything" I said, still holding back the tears that had piled up in my eyes.
Monic who had been tugging at his phone now looked at me and tapped the index finger of his right hand on his left wrist.
"Sorry Vall. I have to finish my makeup" I said.
He gently rubbed my hair and nodded "Yes.I go out first huh.."
Monic put on my makeup again "Friendly girlfriend, do you say?" His jokes on the sidelines of his activities.
"No.. Friend of brother's taste" I replied jokingly and greeted with his laughter which again exited his baritone voice.
***
Soewirdjo's family's entourage has arrived. Some of them I know, but some look strange in my eyes. Gerry wrapped in a white coat and shirt inside stepped confidently. No nervous face is implied.
All eyes looked at him, relatives and neighbors present looked towards the prospective bridegroom who looked very gallant. Many praised him with all the advantages that Gerry had.
Our eyes met, I saw him smiling broadly as if all the weight had been lifted from his chest.
Event after event, welcome after welcome passed. And the most anticipated moment finally came as well. I again felt nervous when monic took me to sit next to Gerry and face off with Father and a ruler.
When you shake Gerry's hand and finish saying the ijab, it's Gerry's turn to say the next sentence. My heart didn't stop beating as I slowly heard Gerry start to say his words very firmly and confidently.
"I accept the marriage and marriage of Caramella Assyifa bint Aryo Widodo with the dowry paid in cash"
"That's right?"
"Saaahhh"
No one could describe how relieved it was to hear Gerry's words fluently spoken and the 'legitimate' shouts of all the guests present.
Gerry turned his head and stretched out his hand for me, I greeted him and kissed the back of his hand. Threw my head and kissed my forehead long enough. A tear fell from my face. I happy. There are no words to describe my feelings at this time.
