The charm of Janda Kembang
Part.5
Two weeks later, the time had been set as Sisil's wedding day. At the house Sisil seemed to have been busy even though it was still early in the morning.
Sisil's wedding will be held massively because Andi's parents are one of the most prominent people in the city. Tents and decorations are already in place. It looks very luxurious to the people in that small town.
Sisil's parents also included people who were not random people there. Papa Sisil is also a respected person in the city.
Since early in the morning Sisil has been made up by a professional makeup artist. But his face looked gloomy. This was not what he expected, he never expected marriage at such a young age.
Damn again here the condition of his mother is at stake. Sisil can't do anything. Suppose Sisil is now working and has a large income of his own, he will definitely refuse and choose to take his mother away from the house.
Unfortunately let alone work, making a job application he has not. Many companies offer him a job. Sisil was so disappointed, a golden opportunity before his eyes but he had to ignore the opportunity.
Sometimes Sisil thought why his mother would not leave her father who wanted to win alone. Once Sisil asked his mother, to go and live with her brother but her mother refused firmly.
Sisil never knew his parents' minds. And why did Sisil have to endure the arrogant nature of his father. The more Sisil thinks he's not finding the answer.
One thing Sisil requests that his father granted, namely studying in the capital at the campus that Sisil wants only the rest does not exist.
At nine o'clock in the morning Sisil was done in make up. Sisil wears a white modern kebaya with beaded ornaments all over his clothes making the kebaya look luxurious.
Her face was made up by a professional makeup artist and of course the results would be very satisfying. Sisil looked beautiful, there was no blemish on his face. But that doesn't make him happy.
The betrothal she was forced to accept, even with the person who once filled her heart. Meeting with Andi again, Sisil no longer has that vibration anymore.
Used to see Andi smile, his heart was so flowery, but now the taste is gone. Sisil felt ordinary when he met Andi, even very ordinary as he met a friend.
"Mama's son is very beautiful." said his mother Sisil into the room Sisil.
Sisil smiled even though the smile looked very forced "mama is also beautiful" said Sisil
"forgive me Mama yes Sil.because mama can't help you undo this match" her mother Sisil gently caressed Sisil's back.
"already ma...no need mama think again, just pray Sisil happy with papa's choice"
"you are truly a filial son." Sisil's mother shed tears.
"ma...do not cry.mama must be happy.if mama cries Sisil is sad..." Sisil wiped away her mother's tears
At ten in the morning, all the guests had arrived, Sisil had also been sitting ready in his room. They were waiting for the Andi family, because the wedding would start at ten in thirty minutes.
Sisil could only resign, and occasionally looked at the box he placed on his closet. The box contains medicine from her best friend Nadia. Sisil plans to drink it after she does the first night with her husband later. Because that was Nadia's message.
Fifteen minutes passed, but the groom's entourage had not yet been seen coming. All still seemed relaxed, but Sisil was feeling unusually nervous because the time was almost 10:30
Everyone seems happy, they look enthusiastic about this marriage. There only Sisil was unhappy. Sisil's father also looked dignified and also looked happy.
He was in a relationship with his family who looked panicked. Some of them are like busy calling either calling who Sisil does not know and does not want to know.
"why the Andi troupe has not yet come" Sisil heard the voice of his papa riled.
"maybe in a moment, maybe they are on their way" replied someone Sisil did not know.
Two hours passed, the guests began to leave Sisil's house, but the groom's entourage had not yet arrived. His father Sisil looked angry, Sisil did not dare to go out of the room and ask what happened.
Sisil did not care, for Sisil if Andi did not come no problem, he did not lose anything. He did not want to know anymore because for him here he was just a puppet played by his father.
Two and a half hours passed, suddenly there was someone who came to the house Sisil confessed to the representative of the Andi family. Sisil nodded, he was curious. Finally, he decided to leave his room.
"sorry Mr. Johan, I represent the family of the groom wanting to say if this marriage is void" the man said.
"what?!!!!" sisil's papa's voice boomed "why?!!"
Sisil was speechless, he put his hands in his mouth, he was as surprised as everyone who was there.
"again forgive us, Mr. Johan.since this morning.we do not know where Andi is" said the man bowed.
"weren't you looking for him?!" back again the voice of Sisil's father boomed
"already sir.all our men have been looking for him everywhere but did not find the existence of Andi" said the person
Sisil's father sat down, he could no longer say anything, his mother Sisil had been crying since. Sisil approached his mother and hugged her.
"thank you sir.the father can leave now" said Sisil softly and smiling. The envoy was surprised to see Sisil who looked beautiful in his wedding dress.
"once again we apologize, for all our costs and losses the bridegroom will bear" said the man then left Sisil's house.
Sisil still hugged his mother and stroked her mother's back. Sisil is confused he should be happy or sad. Indeed, he was happy because he did not get married today, but seeing his mother who looked very devastated he also felt sad.
In his little heart he was relieved, because his betrothal was void and he no longer had to marry at a young age. There are still many dreams that he wants to pursue.
But he also felt ashamed, a marriage that was void because the groom suddenly ran away on his wedding day was a disgrace to his family. Sisil must be ready with all the risks he bears.
