The Enchantment of Madam

Cancel Marriage

The atmosphere of a small island is so beautiful surrounded by blue sea and white sand. Seen the steps of a pair of brides with hands joined to the throne in front of us–– invited guests to do a procession ijab kabul bride-to-be this morning around nine.

The boisterous atmosphere while waiting for a pair of brides suddenly became quiet when the sound of romantic music from the piano that irrigates the second step, and the pounding waves on the beach makes the atmosphere more warm and romantic.

The groom-to-be pulled a chair and invited to sit on the bride-to-be who is none other than my boss in the office named Zaskia Albern or often we call Zaskia Gothic because the face is similar to the artist dangdut. The difference is Gothic here is so fierce and unfriendly to its employees.

"Please, dear," said the groom named Erwin, the man chosen by Mbak Zaskia aka Mbak Gothic to make him a life partner.

The Gothic mother looks graceful with a charming smile she sits still clutching a bouquet of white bridal flowers according to the dress worn by them. Oh, yes, the guests who come also wear all-white costumes at the request of the bride of course.

The event will begin soon after the pak penghulu asked his readiness to the bride and father of the Gothic Mbak named Mr. Bobby Albern who had faced the prospective son-in-law.

"Hows it? Is the bride-to-be and the father of the bride-to-be ready to be the guardian of the marriage?" asked the pak penghulu with a gaze toward Mr. Erwin and Mr. Bobby Albern as a marriage guardian for his daughter.

"Ready!" said his future son-in-law and future in-law.

A state of instant silence, silence is only the blowing of the beach breeze and the smooth sounding pounding of the waves sweeping away the soft white sand.

"Well, let's just get started, shall we?" said pak penghulu after previously they held a rehearsal rehearsal for the pronunciation of ijab kabul.

Now the hands of Mr. Bobby Albern and Mr. Erwin shake and the ijab leaf which was pledged by Mr. Bobby Albern.

"I married and I married my daughter Zaskia Albern bint Bobby Albern to you with a set of gold jewelry and USD 78,000 in cash!" said Mr. Bobby Albern excitedly who was greeted by the answer from Mr. Erwin.

"I received marriage and––" Not yet after Mr. Erwin forwarded the answer from ijab kabul, a woman shouted.

"WAIT!!!" yelling at a young woman holding a baby. It seems that his age is not too far away from me.

The woman walked quickly to the bride's throne. A lot of eyes were on him, including me.

Plaque!

A hard slap slid down the cheek of the Gothic Mbak.

"Basic actor! How dare you take my husband, huh?!" The woman looked angry and disappointed with the eyeballs that seemed to be out of place when she saw the Gothic Mbak.

"Mas, why are you the same with me, Mas? We just celebrated our second wedding anniversary. Especially now in the middle of our family there is already a baby, Mas. Our son!" the woman said when she saw Mr. Erwin.

The state of the party became chaotic after the arrival of the young mother with her baby who claimed to be the wife and mother of the baby son of Mr. Erwin. Even today the mouth-mouth nyinyir has been speculated with a different view on Mbak Gothic.

"Go, Mom! I'm not marrying you!" said Mbak Gothic while pointing to the sea At Mr. Erwin.

"Sir, please leave and bring your husband from here. You need to know, I am also here as a victim of your husband. I didn't know that he was married and even had a child. Go ye!" furious Gothic Sister.

"But I can explain, Kia. I don't want our marriage to run aground" asked Mr. Erwin, but Mr. Gothic did not press him.

"I said go, yes, go!!!" The Gothic ma'am doesn't seem to want to negotiate. While Mr. Bobby looks to calm his wife.

The woman carrying the baby dragged Mr. Erwin's arm. Once they were seen fighting after some distance from the bride's throne and here still boisterous with the bewildering voices of the invited guests.

The cry of the mother of the Gothic Mother broke earlier. He thrashed, did not accept his son humiliated like this. However, the rice had already become porridge and this had already happened. Things have not improved because the mother even fainted after the embarrassing incident.

"Bun, Mommy. Vaaa!"

I don't know what's going on in there. I, who was only a staff employee in his office, did not dare to interfere or just wanted to know the state of my boss' mother.

The Gothic ma'am was seen coming out from inside the cottage and running towards the back with tears in his eyes. After all, I walked meant to just want to know how he is right now. Doesn't rule out the possibility he'll kill himself, does he? Ah, that's my thinking right now.

"Sir, everything can be solved with a cool head. Don't jump, don't jump from here, ma'am!" I said trying to prevent when I saw the Gothic Mother who stood on a large rock and under it was seen sea water with big waves. Ah, I imagined a human body that would die in a big wave that hit a solid and big reef down there. However, it seems like Gothic ma'am did not heed my warning.

"Yahoo!!!" I grabbed her waist until the body of the Gothic Mother now hit me.

"What, anyway?! I just want to throw this fucking ring!" said the Gothic Mother when her body had not hit my body.

"Kirain Mbak is suicidal." I smiled and rubbed my neck in embarrassment.

"A suicide? Not very!" cynically.

"Where is Nyoya, Ma'am?"

The cynical face turned weak and the Gothic Mother seemed to have gone ferociously when I asked her the state of her mother.

"He still wants to see me married" replied Lirih Mbak Gothic with a downcast look.

I just stared at even my fussiness and kesotoyan as if frozen. Yeah, I'm the weakest person to tell you about mom's grief. For me, mother is a person whose dignity must be held high and happy while still with us.

"Definitely because the funds raised are also very large, yes, Ma'am?"

"That's not the main thing" he replied still in a soft tone.

"Then?"

"I'm old enough to get married said Mommy."

I went back to silence. Really, I can't say anything other than just staring in front of the Gothic Mother. My age is only twenty-one years old and only a D3 graduate has not been able to think much, especially about marriage.

Silent.

I don't know how long we've just been pecking with the strong sea breeze hitting our bodies. However, that state of silence changed when a smile of sarcasm measured on the lips of Mbak Gothic.

"I have an idea!" mba Gotik.

"What?"

"You want to help me, right?" connect Gothic Ma'am.

I nodded.

Without asking permission Gothic ma'am pulled my arm. He ran quite fast then shouted while we were both already inside the luxurious cottage.

"Mother, I won't let you down! I'm still getting married today" said Mrs Gothic while I was by her side.

The crying of the mother of the Gothic Mother suddenly stopped with the look of the eye that was somehow when he saw his son.

"I'll marry him!" said the Gothic Mother while pointing at me.

"Me?" My eyes were round when I heard the words of the Gothic Mother. Really, I feel trapped by him right now.
