Weddings
A moment of silence.
“Come, if so, we eat first!” the word Hadian broke the awkwardness, as it moved from its seat. He stepped closer to the dining table first, then from there he allowed his guests to sit wherever they wanted.
Fauzan immediately pulled the dining chair that would be occupied by Maulana and Salima. After that, they sit back with their partners. Face-to-face.
They both welcome each other to first taste the food, which is on the big dining table. It was a table enough for sixteen people to use. On it are available various typical dishes of the city and, foreign menus are deliberately cooked by the chef at the order of Imma as his great mistress.
“Try, Miss Salima, my cooking. One day, I will eat a typical dish of the village there, so, I hope you and Mom can enjoy it, if it is not good, just say, Mom, let me fix it another day.” Imma said excitedly because she was very confident that the cuisine was very good.
“Wah, this is amazing, Miss Imma. It looks like everything is good.”
“Please try, Mom!”
“Thank you!”
Salima smiled as she took some food and tasted it one by one, although it was a little different because it was created food, but, she admitted Imma cuisine was all delicious.
In the end there was not much chatter going on at the dinner table, other than the compliment of some food by the two middle-aged women, who were both good at cooking it.
“Can I continue the chat earlier?” maulana asked after she finished eating and, rubbing her lips with a tissue, so did Hadian and the others.
“Please, Sir!” hadian said after finishing the mineral water in his glass.
“So, at first I did not agree that my son, working with Nak Fauzan in one room every day. You see, they both like each other.” Maulana speaks in the typical style of wise and careful parents.
“Bapak ...!” Nadia tried to interrupt, but, Salima who was sitting next to her clapped her son's hand, gesturing for silence and not interrupting the parents' speech.
“I am old, do not know again until when I was given the chance to live.”
The man was silent again while taking a breath without anyone daring to interrupt.
“Now, Nak Fauzan has proposed to Nadia, and my daughter has accepted her application. He does not want to get married anytime soon, but .... once again I am old and, do not know again when can gather like this.”
Maulana said it was not without reason because she needed more effort to stay healthy and be able to come to Jakarta that morning. He had to go to doker first to treat his gout pain that happened to recur. All he did was because he loved Nadia so much.
“May you and Mom stay healthy and live a long life...!” the words Fauzan and Arfan are almost the same.
“Aamiin.” Sahut Nadia and Salima and Imma.
“So, if you can, I want to marry my son right now!” maulana said in the end.
“Mr!” nadia said, standing up, but, Salima and Fauzan who were sitting next to her asked her to sit back.
“Why? Don't you like it when your father thinks of your kindness? You are the same Fauzan already like each other, you have also received his proposal, why not marry now?”
“Yes, if marriage is now speed, sir. Kan, no preparations yet?”
“So, you mean that it is important that you marry legally, religiously, you do not need any preparation, importantly there are witnesses, there is a dowry!”
“But ...”
“Well, if about the party or want to make a marriage certificate to the KUA office, it can be followed later, how, Mr Hadian?” maulana's question looked serious.
“Wah, wah .. I lost again, dong, Zan!” said Arfan, with a contemptible style.
“Nah, this is my point, what about Kak Arfan, because he is older than Fauzan, there must be a step if according to custom!” nadia said, finally, the feeling that stuck from earlier was also he catapulted as well.
Suddenly Arfan and Fauzan laughed loudly, they had agreed long ago, In fact, their promise was said before the accident in the pool that, whoever among them, was, those who get a soul mate first, must let each other go.
“Already, Nad, if that's the case, you don't have to worry because we have agreed to let each other go!” said Arfan while nodding.
“Well, so, no Maslah, right?” said Maulana again. “Nadia, you just need to prepare your heart to be fully devoted to your husband, and more concerned with family than work, that's all!” said Maulana again, while standing up and rubbing Nadia's head gently lovingly.
Hadian stood up and asked Jali to come closer, after the man had come, The Great Lord immediately gave the order to call Mr. RT and Mr. Amil who happened to be neighbors and his house was not so far from the residence of the Hadian family.
“Good, Master!” jali said the spirit, because it means, his wish is granted. Fauzan and Nadia are getting married tonight, with the circumstances and atmosphere at their disposal, even without makeup and crowns.
A woman who has the status of queen or princess of the king because of her clothes and crown, but, women do not need all that if to become queen and princess in the heart of a man.
All guests and hosts now move into the living room, which is much wider and the seats are more numerous though, not all are the same up to everyone, including guests who had just been invited to the Hadian family residence, could sit to watch the sacred wedding between Fauzan and Nadia that was not expected.
Jali deftly, prepare a table and also files in the form of data briefly, about who is married, witnesses also the name of the dowry, and the date of the event held as evidence if later, later, he had to take care of this marriage certificate for the sake of his employer.
Fauzan took a small box containing a special gold necklace, which he had ordered long before their wedding, because he had intended to propose to Nadia for a long time.
The man said the marriage vows smoothly, accompanied by the name of God and also the prayers of parents and community leaders, who were present there as witnesses to their marriage.
The two people who will inform the surrounding residents if there is a marriage at the home of the Hadian family who became their neighbors. It is an honor for those who are invited to come in rare events.
While Nadia who sat next to Fauzan, who is now legally her husband, was moved to tears. As soon as the Lord sends a soulful soulmate, so is his hope.
Her heart trembled violently when she heard her name mentioned in the sacred pledge by her husband. This marriage is not only in a dream but, there are already witnesses if they are lawfully husband and wife.
‘’May you last and be happy until death to pick up according to the age limit, with your love that will always be the same!” so many prayers for the two brides.
“Why are you crying, Nadia, Honey?” asked Fauzan gently in the ears of Nadia who was still busy wiping tears on her cheeks. The man raised Nadia's bowed chin with his left hand and, helped her wipe the tears with her right hand.
Nafia was silent, she just stared at Fauzan from such a close distance, making her heartbeat irregular. Then, cup! A gentle kiss, landed on his forehead in the welcome of the old men.
Fauzan ignored the boisterous voice timidly. And, give a small box to its rightful owner.
“This, for you, wear yes. Surely you are prettier if you wear this on your neck!” fauzan said again. Nadia nodded and received the jewelry box then, keeping it in a bag.
After that the event asked for Restu, which was done by the two brides to their parents in turn. The bride and groom ask for Restu not from parents only, but to everyone present there including all the servants of the household of the Hadian family.
