Arriving at Rania's house, she walked helplessly with blank eyes without soul. There was no happy look other than the raging feeling of heartbreak enveloping his soul in his resignation accepting the fate of his marriage tomorrow with Zein. Although Zein gave him a chance to surrender, he could not decide everything in just a few hours until tomorrow morning.
Giving up is not the best option right now. In Rania's mind she just needs to strengthen her heart to face tomorrow, prepare with her best smile offering for her parents and the guests who come. He would rather hurt and lie to himself than see the tears streaming down his parents' eyes.
Arriving at home, he was greeted with a home atmosphere that displayed the busyness of the people in it, especially his mother who had prepared everything perfectly for the wedding of her eldest son tomorrow.
"Rania, why are your clothes soaking wet like this?" Ask her mother in an anxious tone.
Rania continues to walk past her mother, unaware that her mother is greeting her and asking about her arrival in a bedraggled state. Then his mother asked again while patting him on the shoulder. Instantly he awoke from his daydream as he walked like a man who had lost his soul.
"Ah, yes ma'am what's wrong?" Rania made a sound and asked again what her mother had just said.
"Your face is soaking wet, you should hurry and go change your clothes, take care of your health. Tomorrow is your wedding day!" The orders of her mother, who realized that maybe Rania was hit enough before the moments of her marriage that only a few hours left.
Rania nodded and passed away leaving the crowd to step up a few steps. Arriving in the room, he immediately threw his bag and laid his body on the mattress which felt quite comfortable for him after a day of thought drained thinking about his marriage with Zein tomorrow morning.
The night passed as if to immediately show the bright sunlight tomorrow morning. Rania was asleep still in her half-wet shirt because of the rain. He did not have time to change his clothes because he overslept until it dried by itself.
*the next day
Tok, tok, tok, tok, the sound of knocking on the door woke him from his dream with someone in the past. Someone who had been absent for a long time in his dreams suddenly dreamed of it again last night. At least his dream last night gave him a little happiness amid the turmoil of his heart the last few days, as well as awakening him to accept his current destiny.
Rania glanced at the clock on her desk, right next to her bed. Time shows at four in the morning. He walked open the door of his room and found his mother still waiting for him after knocking on the door a few seconds ago. And don't forget he gave his sweetest smile to his mother while saying "What's this early?"
"Of course, get ready as the event will be in the morning!" Mother's firm.
Everything went perfectly until the time came.
Wrapped in ivory-colored dresses and jewel-studded sequin accents give a radiant glow. A very beautiful dress like a wedding dress in general, Rania looks charming and looks perfect. Like a queen in a fairy tale. All eyes were on him as if amazed by the beauty of his face, not least Zein who also saw him without blinking though. In Zein's mind, Rania was the perfect woman. The woman he was currently with and would soon be his.
On the other hand, Rania only looked flat with a smile of compulsion in her heart. It looks real in public and is fascinating.
His footsteps continued to walk, a little more Rania to the position where she would be aligned and very close to Zein.
"So you actually came up with a dress this pretty?" Zein asked in a whisper and glanced while throwing her best smile at Rania.
"Of course, I don't have enough courage to hurt my parents!" Firmly Rania with an expressionless flat tone, just glanced at Zein's eyes.
"What does that mean, you have enough courage to hurt me?" Timpal Zein teases, and does not forget to pin a smile.
There was a look of annoyance on Rania's face, she did not chimed in Zein's words and just glanced vexedly at Zein.
Who do you think you are? Don't think you're a victim? Just look at it later! Can you still smile like that to me? Inner Rania seemed to threaten.
I will make sure your life is happy to be by my side, for all your courage and sacrifice, Rania. Inner Zein with confidence.
Seriate.
