The Bond of Our Love

Chapter 29 - The Happy Day of Our Marriage

"Why are you apologizing? You are not wrong. Besides, if you're guilty, why apologize to me? Who am I? Better take care of those women outside. You are now a new idol in this village. Just look at the women here. From the young to the old, they all compete in promoting themselves or their daughters to be your wives. You just choose which one. Want someone who is good at gardening, good at cooking, good at dressing up, or.... who is good at several houses?"

"Kok you said that? I never even thought of such a thing. Besides, I was determined to enter that competition as well, not for the sake of those women"

"Then for whom? Who made you go to that adrenaline test competition?" Ask Zahra flat.

"You"

"What's? Me? You're saying I'm the one who made you enter that wrestling competition? What kind of shit is that? When did I ask you to do all this? You alone decided to fight with that wrestler, without speaking to me first. And without thinking about how panicked I was, seeing you get beat up in the ring"

"You know, I'm like a cunning madman, even begging the officers to stop the fight. And now you're saying all that for me? All right, tell me why would you risk your own safety for me? Why?" Zahra said with a blaze.

"Because I love you"

DEG

"What?" Zahra was stunned to hear Rahul's words.

"Yes. Because I love you. Because I want to be a place to share your pain and joy. Because I want someone who always makes you smile and happy. I don't want to be a useless person. Who can't even do anything, when the person I love is in trouble. That's why I'm in the competition"

"Because, that was the only way that was in front of me back then. And I know, if I told you that, you would definitely not allow me to follow him right? Because I know, you will definitely never let, anything bad happen to me. Aye right?" Lirih Rahul's.

"What do you mean, talk like this? You-you shot me?" Zahra asked stammeredly with a gawking face. He still could not believe what he heard.

"No. Who said I shot you?" Seloroh Rahul's.

"Then?" Ask Zahra flat. His feelings began to reappear.

"I proposed to you"

"I mean?"

Rahul reached into his pants pocket, taking out a small red heart-shaped box. Then he knelt down while opening the box with a ring, and thrusting it in front of Zahra.

"Miss Azzahra Alfathunnisa, will you marry me? Will you be my wife, my companion, my mother and, mother-to-be of my children?"

Zahra's body felt stiff. His heart felt back beating. He could not believe what he was hearing. This guy proposed to her? Want to make him his wife? Is this a dream? If yes, then this was a very beautiful dream all his life.

"You're serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

"If I refuse, how?"

"Yes, I fight until you accept it. Doesn't everything need a struggle, including love?"

"Then quickly put the ring on my sweet finger. Then ask my mother for her blessing, so she can accept you as her daughter-in-law?" Zahra thrust her finger in front of Rahul with a cheerful smile on her face.

Rahul was very satisfied with Zahra's reply. With a face full of happiness, he immediately took out a ring from his box, and pinned it on the girl's sweet day.

*******

Their happy day has arrived. The day that Rahul and Zahra formalized their relationship, in a sacred bond of marriage.

Like running water, Rahul is so fluent in saying the word kabul ijab. Even though there is a nervous feeling. But it was not able to prevent him from saying sacred sentences. A sentence that would make Zahra his.

Rahul did not expect, at the age of 29 years, he would marry a woman who was six years younger than him. Plus, the wedding was without being attended by his extended family.

But it's okay. Because that's not his priority. He no longer wanted to remember anything related to his past. Now he just wants to focus on his future. To his wife and his little family.

He hoped that this marriage would be a gateway to his new and happy life, and leave behind his dark past.

"Congratulations on your marriage. May you be forever in the bonds of love, which will always unite your hearts to continue together, no matter how great the storm and the distance that lies ahead of you. Mother's prayer will always be with you"

Hope Madam Sakinah when the two brides ask for blessing by kissing her hands and knees.

"Yes ma'am, thank you" said Zahra with teary eyes.

Wirda immediately pinched Maudy's stomach, ashamed of her best friend's attitude.

"Auw" Maudy complained in pain, then reprimanded Wirda. "What the hell is Wir?"

"Fuck, what. You are nothing. It's not polite in front of the old man" Wirda replied with a sewot tone and bulging eyes, then glanced at Bu Sakinah with a smile, to cover up the embarrassment caused by Maudy.

Sakinah's mom was just shaking her head at the girls' behavior.

"What the hell is it? Kan Bu Sakinah was also young. Tu, Zahra the proof. Evidence that Ms. Sakinah also had that with her late father Zahra ump...." Maudy was still menggeyel and continued to mercocos without shame. Until Rahma had to wrap her perverted mouth.

"Mom, sorry. Maudy if talking is careless. Excuse me first. Rahul, Zahra, congratulations on your marriage. Dah" said Rahma with shame.

The three girls also left the house, which became the venue for the wedding procession of the newlyweds, by dragging Maudy who could only continue to cheat, because of his mouth that was designed.

*******

"Are we in front of your room?" Rahul asks when they are in front of Zahra's room, which will soon be their room.

"He em"

"Then hold this" Rahul thrusts his wand at Zahra.

"Why should I hold your wand? I'm not blind" Zahra frowned.

"No need to talk much. Remember, you are now my wife. A wife should always obey her husband. Isn't that your mother's advice?" Kelakar Rahul's.

"Ow, ow, ow..... Is that right? So you're gonna be an authoritarian husband to me? Your wife?"

"You said it, right? Not me?"

"Ow, is that it?" Zahra again touched Rahul's forehead, making the man complain.

"Law... I thought after marriage, your bar-bar nature would disappear. It just got worse, didn't it?" Complain Rahul.

"of course. Who asked, looking for trouble with me anyway? I'm a wife who lives in the millennial era. Not in Siti Nurbaya's time"

"Oh, is that it?" Rahul groped Zahra's body, and with a single move, he immediately lifted and held the body of the woman he had just married.

"Law... Hey, what are you doing?" Pekik Zahra's.

"I just want to do my job, as a husband to his wife on the first night" Rahul smiled meaningfully.

"Yes but there's no need to carry me. I can walk by myself"

"Why, because I'm blind? Isn't.....?"

"Am I as your eyes, and you as my feet?" Tukas Zahra who seemed to understand, the dialogue that would be thrown by her husband.

"That's right" Rahul instantly opened the door and entered the room, to start the first heated battle with his wife tonight.

"Ahk! Hehe!" Zahra just screamed cheerfully in her husband's arms.

Arriving in the room, Rahul walked slowly to the bed according to Zahra's direction, because he still did not memorize the situation and order in the room.

After arriving near the bed, Rahul immediately sat his wife on the surface of the mattress gently. Then he himself also sat on the edge of the bed, in front of Zahra.

He looked at his wife's face with one palm. Starting from the forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, lips, to the chin. He wanted to feel and memorize the visuals of his wife. He could not see his wife's face directly. But at least, a little bit he can know, if the woman has pliable eyelashes, a small nose, chubby cheeks, and cleavage in her chin.

Satisfied to explore the face of Zahra, Rahul's hand turned to the body part of his wife who was still wrapped in a complete kebaya. Gently he took off one by one, the clothes covering the woman's body.

Zahra resigned as the man continued to touch and touch his body. She tried to endure the pain when the crown, which she had been guarding for 23 years, was finally removed by the now-legitimate man as her husband.

The two enjoyed their first night as a newlywed couple making love. First night full of passion.

Rahul did not expect, would be a very happy man tonight. He enjoyed his wife's body. Although this was not the first time he had intimate relations with women, it was the first time he had a lawful relationship, as the woman was his current wife.
