"You're still sick, Anna. We're just putting off our wedding!" Bargain Daffa.


"No. I'm all right. Just sprained. The doctor said that too!" Anna insisted.


"Doctor said you need a vacation. You need to rest first!" Bargain Daffa again.


"We're going on vacation after we get married today. I'm going on college leave for a week. I'm following you on your trip out of town. We're on a honeymoon" replied Anna again.


"But Anna, I.."


"Aren't you going to marry me now, Daff?" Anna asked with a hard look.


"What after today's incident, are you so disgusted to marry me, Daff? Because I've been 'touched' by another man?" Lecar Anna.


The girl was seen hugging her own waist. Projections of fragility on his figure that usually looks tough in the eyes of Daffa.


"No, Anna. I still want to marry you. But the time I don't think it's right. You need time to heal. You are still traumatized so you cannot think clearly at this time" Daffa said.


"Stop! I know, Daff. I know that I'm sane enough to propose to you to continue our wedding today. I've thought everything over.


"It would be better if we marry this heart soon, and I'll go live to your house. I'm not sure I can survive even just for one more night in that room. Remembering there, Zizi was almost doomed because of me.


"Given the kidnapper's face that I can still remember very clearly even today. Moreover." Anna's speech stopped.


'I'm afraid I'll have to see Frans again. I'm afraid I can't stare bravely if I have to see her again!' anna's heart was deepened.


Daffa looked seriously into Anna's eyes and Anna returned Daffa's gaze with a bold look and a pleading gaze.


"Please, Daff... would you merry me now?" anna asked with a pleading look.


"..."


"..."


"OKAY. We will marry today" Daffa replied.


"Thank you.." Anna lirih said.


"No, Anna. Thank you, because you want to trust me. Although I have failed to take care of you today," cried Daffa with his head lowered in shame.


Anna shook her head slowly. "You're not wrong, Daff.."


'you didn't know that Frans would be this determined to kidnap me!' anna continued in her heart.


"So, let's go home right now!" Take Anna to Daffa.


"I can't possibly marry the way I look now?" He said again in a half-joking tone.


Daffa smiled gently.


"You're beautiful no matter what you are, Anna."


"But I don't want my wedding photos to make me look like this pale zombie, Daff. Yuk!"


Daffa laughed softly.


"OKAY. But wait a minute. I'll ask the nurse to get you a wheelchair. So I don't have to suck you up to the car. Okay." Okay."


"Too long, Daff!" Complaining Anna.


"Then, there's another way. But you can't reject my proposal again. Come on, get on!"


Suddenly Daffa approached Anna and turned her back. He then took a position like he was about to carry Anna on his back. Piggy-style sling back.


Anna's face spontaneously met in red.


"Don't joke, Daff! I'm just walking."


"No, Anna. You have no other choice. You I carry it like this, or we stay here until tomorrow. How's it?" Firmly Daffa.


"But.." Anna hesitates.


"There's no but-but. C'mon quickly. There's a gentleman waiting for us" Tegur Daffa.


"Holding tight. We don't want you to fall and lose on the road!" Daffa.


"Yes. Ja. "


Anna tightened her grip on Daffa's neck. Then he climbed on the back of the young man. As fast as lightning, Daffa rose to his feet carrying Anna away on his back.


Immediately Anna regretted her decision. Because with their position like this Anna could smell the scent of Daffa's body.


The scent that left strange shakes all over Anna's body.


'this is the first time I've ever hugged a stranger. But strange. Why I like the smell of his body. Duh. I think I'm going crazy!' inner Anna twittering.

Anna is at home. She is surrounded by Mama Ira, Bik Inem, and Dodi. Presumably, the incident of his kidnapping has not spread.


So when Anna passed the courtyard of the house that had several guests, Anna and Daffa only got a strange look.


Perhaps their guests were surprised to see the two brides who were about to get married were not even ready to decorate.


"Are you okay, honey? Mama's worried about me." Greet Mama Ira when Daffa has dropped her in the room.


Anna's stunned. Didn't know how to deal with mom. Remembering his own nephew was the cause of today's events.


Anna looked at Mama Ira fixedly. He caught the worry on that face.


'maybe you don't know what Frans did, ' Anna thought.


Soon there was a hand that hugged Anna from behind. Disperse Anna's brief daydream about Frans. Anna turned her head, and found Zizi hugging her silently.


Anna's heart felt tight. He was grateful Zizi did not experience bad events like him. Otherwise, Anna would definitely not be able to forgive herself.


Anna hugged Zizi in silence.


"Ma, where's the makeup artist?" Ask Anna then.


"They. wait a minute! You still want to get married, Anna?" Mama Ira asked.


"Yes." Yeah."


"But.."


"Quick, Ma. Sorry, please call them here right now. Before pak pengulu arrives!" Said Anna again.


Mama Ira was still still stunned. From his face he seemed to be considering something.


"Let Dodi call, brother!" Dodi, who had been staring at Anna in silence, finally offered to call in a makeup artist.


Anna gave her sister a smile. "Thank you, Dod."


Dodi nodded back, before finally half running out of the room.

About 10 hours past 5 minutes, Pak Penghulu arrived. And at 10 o'clock, fifteen minutes later, Anna and Daffa's wedding began.


Starting from the Opening, the Mukaddimah, the welcome from Ustadz Kholil, the religious leaders in the complex, until finally to the core event, the reading of Sighat Ta'liq, and the closing.


Anna and Daffa were not directly juxtaposed. Daffa was in the living room during the wedding. While Anna sat waiting in her room until then it was heard "legitimate" many times by the guests.


Anna gave thanks. There was a sudden novelty that enveloped him. Because now she is a wife. Daffa Skolinszki's wife.


"Barokallahu lakuma wa baroka 'alaikuma wa jama'a bainakumaa fii khoir.."


Slowly, Anna heard the voice of Mbak Anggi, her makeup artist saying a prayer for her.


"Aamiya.. Allaahumma Aaminn's.." Anna answered in her heart.
