Seconds to Halal

Two months later.

Luna sat on the edge of the bed looking at the ribbon-faced brown paper. The distinctive fragrant aroma of the invitation card made Luna feel claustrophobic. Without being asked, tears begin to pool and drip down the cheeks.

"Kaivan," muttered Luna calling the name of the ex-boyfriend who is now in-law.

Kaivan and Nadhea are getting married tomorrow. They celebrated a big party in Malang— City at Kaivan's residence. While in Prawira's house there is nothing, even kabul ijab is also done there. This is Nadhea's request. He did it to keep Luna feeling.

Currently, Luna was at her father's house. Thanks to Nadhea's help, last week she managed to leave the bars. Not in vain to follow the trial repeatedly, he was finally able to be free and had the opportunity to pioneer his kerier again.

But, it's really unexpected. His return was met with astonishing news, namely the marriage of Kaivan and Nadhea, although in fact already knew Kaivan had proposed to Nadhea, but did not expect if the marriage was that fast. Although now his relationship with Nadhea has improved, but honestly, Luna has not been willing to release Kaivan for Nadhea. He still loves that man very much. It's just, now Luna is not as good as before. The journey of life that has just been passed, forging it into a moral figure. He just kept his wound in silence, without planning such a bad strategy like before.

"Why do I keep this. Never mind, I should forget him." Luna squeezed the invitation paper and threw it in the trash.

When Luna was still dissolved in her sadness, suddenly the door of the room was knocked from the outside.

"Lake in!"

The door to the room is open. Seen there, Prawira was smiling as she walked towards Luna.

"Would you like to go, Pa?" ask Luna.

His father will go to Malang City, become a guardian in Nadhea's marriage. The kabul festival will be held at 08:00 in the morning, so Prawira leaves today.

Prawira nodded, "Yes, let's not get there last night."

"Be careful, Pa." Luna lowered. "I'm sorry, Luna can't come" he continued.

Prawira approached her son and sat next to him.

"Papa understands. Don't be sad, son, your road is long. Without Kaivan, you can still get a much better man. Papa's prayer is always with you." Prawira spoke while rubbing Luna's arm.

"Thank you very much, Pa. I've been wrong a lot, but Papa still wants to forgive me." Luna rested her head on Prawira's shoulder.

"Don't talk about it again! Let the past pass, let's fix what has not. Papa will try to be a father and mother figure for you" replied Prawira.

"Yes, Pa. I'm so lucky to have Papa and Dhea."

"We're lucky to have you, too, son." Prawira smiles.

"When will you come home?" asked Luna a few moments later.

"Maybe the day after tomorrow."

"When you want to go home, Papa will tell you. I want to cook, all this time .. I never did that," said Luna with a big smile.

"Yes." Yeah." Prawira. "Oh yes, if you are ready to come to the office. Little princess Papa should be excited. There are still many opportunities to become a career woman. Okay," he continued.

"Ready, Papa. Thanks for saving Victory." Luna smiled spoiled.

"Yes, Pa."

"Eh, Papa!" luna shouted as her father moved on.

"Yes, son."

"I want to pick something up." Luna got up and picked up the brown color box that was stored inside the drawer.

"What's this?" ask Prawira.

"A little present for Kaivan and Dhea. Please love them yes, Pa," replied Luna.

"Yes, son."

After receiving the gift box from Luna, Prawira exited the room. Then, leave for Malang City with a private driver.

The hour hand showed at 07:30 a.m. In the Kaivan residence, everyone was busy with their respective work. The crew of Beauty Wedding Organizer prepares everything for the event to run smoothly.

Beautiful decorations and luxurious banquets have been prepared, even with a reliable photographer—Kennan.

Since handling the shoot in Stone Town, Chandra has insisted on recruiting Kennan back into his team. Not only taking pictures, but also training several other photographers who joined the Beauty Wedding Organizer, which happened to not be as reliable as Kennan. Since last month, Beauty Wedding Organizer opened a branch in Bali, and their flagship photographer—Kaivan, is trusted to handle the team there. That's why, Chandra insisted on hiring Kennan's services.

On the sidelines of busyness, there was a similar figure of an angel who was staring at his reflection in the mirror. It was Nadhea. Wrapped in a long white dress studded with gemstones, as well as a long veil decorated with jasmine flowers, Nadhea's ayu face looks charming. Mekap applied not too thick, but make it charming. Plus a small crown decorated with jewels, its molecular level is increasingly noticeable.

"Which high hells are you going to wear, Ma'am?" ask Athreya. He accompanied Nadhea while she was.

"Mmm, which is silver, not too high," replied Nadhea while observing two different high hells color—silver and gold.

"Mbak Dhea is very beautiful, hopefully my son will be able to like Mbak Dhea." Athreya spoke while rubbing his stomach that had been protruding.

Nadhea laughed crisply, "Opaan loh, Reya. Wait for you compared to me."

"Ish, Miss Dhea. It's like down."

Amidst small talk, Kirana came and greeted them, informing them that the ruler was waiting in front.

"Seconds to halal, Ma'am. Don't be nervous well," teased Athreya as he moved. Nadhea responded with a big smile.

Staring at their jokes, Kirana was also happy. One by one his children were married, after which Reyvan lived single.

Accompanied by MUA who had changed her appearance, Nadhea walked out of the room. Then, towards the middle space that has been provided. On the red carpet decorated with flowers in every corner, Nadhea stared at Kaivan who was much more handsome than before.
