The Heart of Raisya

Sofi's Wedding

The day passed so quickly, it did not feel that tomorrow was the wedding day of Sofi. Families from Abi and from Ummi have come to help. Some of them even stay at home. The wedding ceremony will be held tomorrow at 7 am at home. While the recipe is at 1 pm in the Cantika building, close to the city.

My parents and Irfan's parents have done some pretty thorough preparation. We are busy preparing the dishes for tomorrow. Many close neighbors helped.

"Rai, when's it coming?" Ask one of my cousins, his name is Rindi. He is the son of his eldest brother Ummi.

"When mbak hehe.."

"Kok sometime Rai? no candidates yet?"

I just answered with a head grit."You want to find it?"

"No need to, if it's time to see you too."

"Yes, but you don't shut yourself Rai!"

"I would like to welcome you, just be more careful. Because not all men want to accept my past. Ma'am do'ain aja yes, hopefully I can change for better."

"You're good Rai, your ex doesn't deserve you! Because he didn't see how good you were. You must be doing'ain you, strong ya!" Rindi gave me some spirit. "If you change your mind to say the same mbak, then you will know his friend Mas Rendi who is still single. "Mas Rendi is the husband of Mbak Rindi who works at one of the private banks. Both have similar names, they have a pair of twins from their marriage.

"Yes, ma'am." My answer is smiling. Not wanting to have a long conversation, I immediately rushed to the kitchen to pick up the guests' food.

These two days I was so busy, that even eating was lazy. Yesterday I only ate during the day, so I only ate a piece of bread. Today I have not eaten at all, it feels tired to see a lot of food. At most I just take some cakes that I don't think are sweet, because I don't really like sweet.

...****************...

Arrived on the most anticipated day of Sofi. This morning we will have a wedding in our own home. This morning's event only invited family and some close neighbors.

Sofi is ready with a modern white kebaya and natural make up. Not to forget the red henna I had carved in his hand, this morning after the dawn prayer. I did deliberately carve my own henna in the hands of my sister on her special day.

The groom's party has arrived. Seen from jah Irfan with a sarong subordinate and a white hem top equipped with a black suit. There is a tradition in our area.

It did not take long, after the penghulu came the akad event began.

"I accept the marriage and marriage of Sofiana Dewi Binti Haji Abdullah with the dowry paid in cash!" With one call Irfan uttered loudly.

"Well.. !" Simultaneous witness voices.

I was so moved, I saw Umm her eyes glazed over. All of my family present were deeply moved by this sacred atmosphere. So remember two years ago, the sacred pledge that was uttered Kak Firman. In fact, the promise to God that the angel and many men witnessed, he denied in an instant.

Why do we have to remember the past again?

The groom is brought in to meet the bride. Sofi kissed her husband's hand, and was met with a do'a that Irfan read as his street hand touched Sofi's head. Then after blowing right on the crown, Irfan kissed Sofi's forehead. What a beautiful sight. Any woman is very happy to be loved and appreciated. Maybe it's a picture of a couple who love and love each other.

I don't envy your destiny, I just haven't had any luck. God still wants me to improve, so I can meet my true soul mate. You've become a wife. Hopefully lasting Dik, enough me who experienced failure in the household.

After the wedding was over, guests started to say goodbye. It's 9 o'clock, we have to get ready to go to the reception building, because we have to prepare there at 11 p.m.

As I was getting ready to put the bridesmaid uniform for me to wear nati into the bag, it suddenly felt like my stomach was hurting. I really did not get strong to stand, it looks like my magh relapsed. I used to get typhoid, last had a relapse two years ago before I got married.

I sat on the bed holding my stomach.

Oh my God, why should I relapse now. It hurts so much.

I grimaced with pain. "Bi, my stomach hurts so much."

"You have diarrhea, Rai?"

"No Bi, it looks like my magh is relapsing again. What a taste."

"Wait, I'll call your ummu first."

After Aunt left in less than a minute, Ummi came into my room. "You have Rai's stomach ache?"

"Yes Ummi, what a taste." I still pressed my stomach with my hands.

"Your magh relapsed it! You're late to eat, this is taking the medicine! Ummi asked your aunt to make sugar."I received the medicine that Ummi was given. Indeed, usually if it has relapsed like this, I can mending if drinking sugar wedang.

"Ummi."

Aunt came with a plate of rice soup and ginger in her hand.

"Eat first Rai, Auntie see you haven't eaten at all! While drinking wedang jahanya."

"Yes Bi, thank you." I had to eat even though I felt nauseous. Since I don't want to waste this happy day, I have to recover.

After I finished eating I took the medicine again and finished the ginger. "Ummi Rai wants a short break, Ummi and the others can leave first to the building. Let Rai catch up with you?"

"No Rai, Ummi just wait for you! Or we'll go to the doctor first."

"Ummi, make up it takes a long time later, what else is made up a lot of people. Rai is okay, really! Or if Ummi is worried let Rai leave with the Princess later. I'll ask the Princess to bring Rai here." I said a little forcefully.

"Alright if that's what you want Rai, hopefully get well soon! Ummi does not want on this happy day you are sick. But you promised Ummi that you would be healed!"

"God willing Ummi, Rai just needs a little rest. The cure just worked Ummi."

"Ah yes, then we will leave. Don't forget to lock all the doors, Rai."

"Yes Ummi." I lay down on the bed, and immediately contacted the Princess. I did ask the Princess for help to be one of the bridesmaids at Sofi's reception. So we can go together to the building later.

An hour passed, I thought my stomach was gone. I heard the motor stop in front of the house. I'm sure that must be the Princess.

"Assalamu'alaikum!"

"Wa'alaikum hail!" I went out of the room and immediately approached the Princess."I'm sorry to be out, so take care of you."

"What the hell is Rai! I guess who said that. I'm ready to durepin you! Come on you ready? Does it still hurt his stomach?"

"It's been meningan this is delicious, it was made a difficult road because of the stinging. Let's go Put! It's 11 o'clock, it hasn't been 30 minutes." Yeah."

"Yes already! ready Miss Ustadzah, let's goo!"

See you again Brother, thank you for stopping by.
