Sincerity Jelita's Heart

Chapter 47. Wedding Seconds

I blinked my eyes many times and did not see it wrong. The one who is between the seats but with his daughter is Aunt Jelita. He seemed to be chatting with other guests. He didn't see me at all.

"Please sit down with the groom." Someone who does not know who told me to sit near a table that will be used as a place of ijab qobul.

The mother and neighbor who came with me were already sitting on the chair that had been prepared. I see guests who come quite a lot, the decorations include the food presented is also quite luxurious. Surprisingly, the family of Bu Yuli did not ask me for a penny or mother.

My eyes were still watching Aunt Jelita from a distance. She is very beautiful with a modern green kebaya wrap with an open shoulder. His body was really very well proportioned, the eyes of all the men who were there alone were all fixed on him.

If only I could forbid them from seeing my Aunt Jelita. Unfortunately I am nothing. There is no right to forbid anyone to see the beauty of Aunt Jelita. How the eyes of the men do not see that what is in Aunt Jelita is very charming.

Invitational guests, neighbors and relatives have started to arrive and fill the seats. I started to get nervous as I stared at the clockwork which was about ten in just a few minutes. I sat unsettled, shifted and tapped my fingers at the table. Not nervous about getting married but afraid that this marriage really happened.

"That bride came out. That's a beautiful daughter of Bu Yuli, a lucky man who married her."

"Well she's very pretty and Sholeh."

I glanced for a moment at Ratna who was walking towards me led by Bu Yuli and a woman. She wears a typical white bride's kebaya. She's beautiful but doesn't interest me. I saw him smiling happily, in stark contrast to me who was very depressed at the moment.

"Come on, kid, sit here." Ms. Yuli helped her daughter to sit next to me.

I just kept quiet, didn't say anything to her. Let him know that I don't want this marriage. She must realize that she is the one who really wants to marry me.

"Son Haris, is there a dowry?" yuli asked, half whispering to me.

Mahar, geez even I didn't think about it at all. I tried to reach into my pants pocket. Who knows if there's money in there. I felt like there were some banknotes but I didn't know the amount. Doesn't it matter what that dowry is.

"Already ma'am," answered me.

"Yes already then mom went there first to check on guests. You just calm down don't be groggy" whispered Ms. Yuli again.

I smiled without answering. The truth is I'm not groggy but I want to undo all this.

"Ratna, have you really thought about it? I don't want us to regret it later. You can still undo it now" I whispered, persuading Ratna.

I glanced lazily at the woman sitting beside me. Do I have to break my face in order for Ratna to cancel this wedding.

"Rethink the deck of Ratna." I emphasized that phrase.

"Listen to the deck of Ratna. We will not be happy because I cannot love you. There's another woman's name in my heart that can't be replaced by anyone." Point. I have to clarify everything. Let her be sad or angry, I hope she gets angry and cancels this marriage.

"It's okay, man. What matters is that we marry. If Haris wants to get married again, no problem."

This girl is out of her mind. Or his mind troubled? I don't think he's making any sense. If another woman heard her future husband say like that, she would have cried and got angry. Then why does Ratna seem relaxed.

Almost ten o'clock. I'm getting more and more upset about it. The guests looked at us envious because I was handsome and Ratna was beautiful. They think we are very compatible. But not according to me.

"Abi, how can pak pengulu be contacted? Why hasn't he come yet."

I could hear Bu Yuli's conversation with her husband who was not far from my seat. It seems like there is one problem going on.

"Abi's already called but not picked up, probably on the way," Abi said as she squeezed her phone.

"But it's already Ten o'clock, how can pak penghulu be late." Bu Yuli looked very anxious as well as Ratna who heard her. Unlike me who actually prayed that the pak pengulu did not come.

"Sabar umi. We'll find a solution together."

Yes, I think I won this time. Without me doing anything, nature is on my side.

Fifteen minutes we waited but pak penghulu has not come yet. The guests and neighbors were already whispering about this. Bu Yuli's family looked riled up and scared. I am the happiest side.

"How is Miss Yuli, so don't get married." One of the guests asked.

"Well, if we go home for a long time, we still have a lot of work to do."
