Sons & Daughters

Wedding Day

The shady trees. The light blue silk cloth hung on the tree branch added an artistic impression. The invitations, have come hand in hand to fill this place. Along with the exciting music.

Today is a very special day in my life. I will soon tie a sacred promise to the man who will be my companion forever. After the storm and the emotional turmoil I felt, I finally chose you. Son, my little friend.

"Daughter, are you ready?" mama went into the room where I was being cleaned.

"Mama soon," I said.

I stared at myself in front of the mirror. My face was covered with simple makeup. Not too thick and menor. I saw from the door, Mama smiled happily. Looking at her daughter, she's getting married.

"You're beautiful," scolded mama.

"Thank you mama" I replied.

At first glance I saw when my mother turned around, as if she was about to shed tears. I can feel my mother's feelings, it's hard to let me go. I hugged my mom from behind and whispered something.

"Ma, thank you for raising the Princess until now, dear daughter of mama."

"Yes, honey. Mama also loves the Princess," said mama softly. Mama's eyes are round and teary, withstanding cries.

The groom's party has arrived. The noise and light made my heart nervous. Immediately I took out a piece of tissue and grasped it tightly.

"You can definitely get through this Princess. This is a historic day in your life. Don't be afraid," I'm in my heart.

I received the marriage of Princess Binti Fadel Nur Rahman with a dowry of 20 mayam of gold paid in cash.

"Huh?" exclaim pak pengpulu

SAH!!! yelled at me and everyone in the room we were in.

I immediately moved and sat down beside the Son. We then offer prayers for protection and salvation. Give us happiness and help us to live our new life, O God. Amen to Rabbal Alamin.

After that my husband immediately opened the veil that had covered my face. I nodded at my husband and smiled. The son replied to her with a blushing hue of cheeks. He continued by pinning the ring on my ring finger. I don't mind the voices and faces around me. My mind had drifted to the Son, and that moment felt so special.

"I'm sorry Princess, Papa," I said, looking down and kissing Papa's right and left cheeks. I saw the powerless Papa holding back his tears of joy.

"Take care of yourself. Do your duty as a wife. Because now your paradise has moved at your husband's feet." Papa stroked my head gently. I held my emotions desperately in front of him.

"Son's Son, auntie titip Putri with you. Guide and take care of him." Mama said it all while crying. While the Son can only fulfill his request.

"I promise aunt. I will make the Princess happy" said the Son.

Father Son, come and congratulate us both. He is grateful that the woman chosen by the Son is Me. It didn't have to be hard for him to accept me as a son-in-law. Likewise, accepting the existence of my father and mother as members of his new family.

*K**because marriage is not just a union of two human beings. Rather unite two families with each other*.
