The Hidden Love

Mas Willi's?

Love ran into his house. He held tightly to the bouquet of roses given by William, even with a ring embedded in the ring finger of his left hand, as if he was not bored staring at the round object.

"Mom knows you're happy, but it's best to be pending. You better take a shower and then you eat" Tania said. A smile continued to linger on the middle-aged woman's lips. Leaning his back on the door body, watching his daughter prancing in joy.

"Mom, today I am so happy" said Cinta girang as she kissed the back of her own hand, exactly where William kissed her earlier.

"Mom knows. Let me see the ring." Love approached her mother, still with a face showing William's ring.

"Oh my God, this is so good Love, it must be very expensive." 

"Where do I know about Ma'am's jewelry, Mr. William just said that I can't take this ring off," he said proudly.

"Mother pray that the plan of the two of you will be smooth, your household harmonious and love each other until the end of life."

Deg.

Suddenly Love's body froze. Hearing the word love, she recalled the man who had just tied her up. Never once did he hear that word come from William's lips.

"Lho, I'm daydreaming. Go take a shower! Mom wait at the dinner table."

"Mom," call Love, doubt.

"Yes, son."

"How did you judge Mr. William?"

"meaning?" Tania scrunched her forehead, confused by the question that Love asked.

"Mom sure you'll accept her being Mom's daughter-in-law?"

"Of course, Mom's feeling is that he's a nice guy. Hopefully in the future he can maintain the trust that you have given him. Why are you asking like that?"

"It's okay Mom, just want to know," Love said. "Yes already, Love shower first Mom. You must be hungry too, right?"

Tania does have a habit of always spending dinner with her daughter. After that, usually the two women will share stories about what they both did throughout the day.

William who sat on the single sofa continued to stare at the faces of his family one by one. After dinner, as usual, the big family gathered in the living room. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Ask. William looks misbehaved when everyone makes him the center of attention.

"Child of the day" murmured Aryan. "You intentionally did you make us wait a long time? We're waiting for your answer!" Aryan Emphatic.

"Yes, okay." Chew on the piece of melon that was still lodged in his mouth.

"What did the girl answer, brother?" Ask Willmar, curious.

"Let Brother drink first." William grabbed the glass and pressed the contents. "Love ... He accepted my proposal," said William, steady.

"Oh my God, thank God, brother!" Shouted the youngest in excitement. So happy, Willmar hugged his brother very tightly.

Even with the face sparkling the faces of the parents.

"When did you propose to him, brother?" Willmar looks very enthusiastic.

"Tomorrow of night" replied William.

"Well, you're the best, brother. You're so fast that you amaze me."

"Make what long courtship. After we have not made it possible for it, in addition to avoiding sin, we are also mature enough to build a household."

"How's Pi?" The Sultan asked his father's opinion.

"Alright, tomorrow night we'll have two proposals at once. First we go to the house of Love, only then we go to propose to Raisa," Arya said.

"You heard what Opa said? Tell each of your girlfriend's families to prepare themselves, too" Sultan said.

"Okay Pa" replied the twins together.

"A week after the proposal, we'll get you married" Arya broke up.

"Yes! Yes!" The youngest cheered while clenching his hands in the air, just like the person winning the lottery. "We married Brother, finally."

People laughed at Willmar's behavior which always invited laughter.

That day, the sun was shining brightly. Clumps of cotton-white clouds dotted the sky.

Love sits while continuing to spin her fingers. His heart beat has been so fast since he stepped foot in the wedding hall. Although Tania repeatedly advised her not to be so nervous, still, this was the first experience for Love.

"Honey, take a deep breath, then let it out. Your future husband is a good man, his family respects us a lot. Her in-laws and the rest of her family even love you so much, so there's nothing to worry about" Tania said trying to quell her daughter's anxiety.

"Yes, Mom. Love knows. How do I look, Mom?" 

Once again, for the umpteenth time Love keeps spinning in front of the mirror. Look at his appearance carefully. Sleeveless off white dress with long dangling tail looks very fitting wrapped body. A jewel-encrusted heart-roofed necklace adorned his neck, giving Hanum when he came to propose. The bride's hood has also been attached above her head. Love is like seeing someone else in the mirror. It was so beautiful that she couldn't believe she could be that pretty.

"You forgot, today you're the queen, honey. You're the most beautiful" Tania cetus.

"Ck, did you forget? The bride has two. The twin of Mr. William is also getting married today," Love clucked.

"Oh yes, I forgot. Whatever it is, to Mom, you're the prettiest.

The door opened wide, a woman appeared making the conversation of the two stop.

"Darling, come. Your bridegroom is waiting," take Hanum. The woman who is still beautiful at her age who is no longer young is flanking her future daughter-in-law. "Come on Tania's mother."

"Yes, Mom."

The two mothers flank Love, taking the girl to the place where the prince awaits her.

Arriving there, Love was stunned to see the man who would become her husband, soon. Even with William who was amazed by the beauty of the girl.

Two weddings on the same day, as Arya promised. The wedding ceremony went well. Each bride and groom say the sacred promise of marriage and pin the wedding ring on the ring finger of her partner.

The show continued until the night. Massive reception is held in the same building. Whether it's like what the condition of Love now, his body is so tired of greeting guests who arrive. Fatigue is evident on the face of each bride, though the twinkle of happiness is far more domineering.

Throughout the event, Love did not talk much. Only occasionally glanced at her husband's twin wife who was considered very beautiful.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the show was over. The Sultan told his children and wives to go up to the hotel room he had booked. While guests still have not completely disbanded.

Love had little difficulty walking when the nine centi high heels felt very tormenting to her. His heel got chafed, and it felt really sore.

"I'll take a shower first, then you'll" William said.

"Yes sir" replied Love.

It didn't take long for the newlyweds to clean up. The shadow of sleeping soundly on a soft mattress feels more real in front of the eyes. The crumbs feel soft all over the body.

"We go to sleep, you're still tired" William said.

"Yes sir." Doubtful, Love climbs the bed where William is already on it.

"When do you want to call me with a call like that?"

"So what should I call you?" Love asked back.

"As for you, just don't call it again, my ears hurt to hear it."

William fixed a thick blanket and arranged a pillow before he threw himself down.

"How about, 'Mas'?"

William thought for a moment, not long after which the man nodded. "So much better."

"Yes, Mas William," said Love a little stiff.

"You can call that, or Mas Willi? The house people call me Willi" William explained.

"Okay Mas Willi" repeated Love.

Silent.

No more conversations between them. The two of them wander with their own thoughts. It turns out that what happened on the first night after the wedding, unlike what Love imagined. 

In fact, the newlyweds did nothing.
