Today I look at myself in front of the mirror that is in front of me, I look at my face that has been made in such a way. Those who came to see me also took turns to say compliments about, how enchanting I am with the simple bridal makeup that now adorns my face. With a neatly curled hairstyle and white rose accessories attached to my black hair, they said I was very beautiful like a princess.
My mother came to see me who was dressed. He came and put his hands on both shoulders, looking at me in the mirror and saying, "You are so beautiful, dear..." A compliment that I feel will be thrown by all mothers in the world when they see the princess on her special day.
Yes, today is the day I will have my wedding with my future husband. What's on your mind? Surely you guys think I'm feeling so flowery heart is not...? Well, it should be, unfortunately, that doesn't apply to me. How do I feel right now?
Of course, it is not a sense of happiness like other brides feel before their wedding. Indeed, this marriage did not happen by my will, nor my future husband. This marriage actually happened because of a penance for the guilt that I feel until this moment. I am willing to marry a man, because of a promise I have already agreed on in a sacred bond that I must fulfill.
And the time has finally come. Mama as soon as I mentioned the figure of a woman named Rania, the woman who had given birth to me. He said my marriage would begin soon. With a faint smile I made, I got up from the chair I was standing in. I held a modern white kebaya that fit perfectly into my body, then I stepped away to climb into the room where my wedding procession would be held.
~~
I also entered the room. From the direction I came I could see the figure of the papa there.he seemed to look towards my arrival while welcoming me with a smile then nodded as if giving strength to me today. I know papa really understands very well how I feel right now. But I was determined to try to look perfectly fine so as not to make her feel heavy about this marriage.
I could only smile back at my smile, as I continued to walk towards the place where the man who would soon be my husband was. I don't know what the guy's thinking is right now, is it the same as me? Maybe!
But the one thing I think me and him both feel, Yes! We both feel trapped in a bond of promise that in fact we have been able to in front of my late brother named Salma Natania Adnan. And today, I Salwa Natasha Adnan will carry out my promise to my late brother, which is to marry Arganata Yudhistira who is none other than the lover of my late brother.
Salwa finally sat next to Arga. Next to the man who can be said to be handsome bak don juan. Salwa did not pay attention to Arga at all. Let alone pay attention to Arga, Salwa did not even glance at her future husband. Because all Salwa has in mind right now is, hoping that all this procession will be over soon. *And what about Arga*? The man's face was calm, flat, and almost unpredictable as to what his current feelings and thoughts were. But it seems no different to Salwa, for Arga to accelerate all the wedding procession is the best thing he wants to do.
~~
Finally, the wedding procession began, everyone present seemed to have calmed down and seriously underwent the process of binding promises. Until finally heard the chant of sacred speech that was thrown by Arga with one breath. In the end, the promise before God and the parents of Salwa was spoken by Arga very well and smoothly. Now Salwa was legal to be the wife of Arga, a man she had only met several times in Salwa's life.
~~
After all the wedding processions and small banquets are held. It was time for Salwa to leave her parents to be carried by Arga to their place of residence after marriage. The crying of both parents of Salwa was broken, Rania who was actually not ready to be separated from her daughter who had just returned from her study outside the city, in fact, now he had to accept because he was again separated from Salwa. But as a mother, Rania also realized that now her daughter is no longer entirely hers anymore, but belongs to her husband.
Salwa hugged the mother with eyes that had shed tears. "Mama.. sorry Salwa yes, sorry for the promise of Salwa who once said, if Salwa wanted to *quality time* with mama after Salwa lecture was completed, it turned out that Salwa failed in fullin."
"It's okay, baby, I understand!" Rania pulled herself up and looked at the crying princess. Then Salwa's tears followed by a message, "You're fine. And one message mama, in marriage do not be easy to say leave the house if there is another problem. Understand son?"
Salwa nodded, "Yes Ma, Salwa will always order Mama."
After that, Salwa took turns to embrace Ramdani Adnan his beloved father. He was crying and hugging the father he admired so much. Ramdani of course was late in the emotional moment at that time. Because it should be a father in general, Ramdani was certainly heavy hearted because he must inevitably give his youngest daughter to the man who had been chosen to be Salwa's husband, especially Ramdani like still unexpected because suddenly had to give his daughter to Arga. But in any case, Ramdan must accept all the destiny that has happened. Her eldest daughter Salma was gone, and now she must be sincere to release the Salwa that now officially belongs to her husband.
"Papa take care of health, Salwa is very dear to you," said Salwa in her sobs while hugging Ramdani. The father immediately rubbed Salwa's head and dyed the princess's hair. "Surely son.., you also take care of your health. If there's anything, don't hesitate to tell papa yes son." The cry of Salwa was even more unstoppable to hear the father say so. For Salwa her papa was her first love. The first man who has loved and given him the most sincere affection since the first time he was born.
On the other hand Arga who was standing near Salwa seemed to raise his wrist. He stared at his fancy watch. "It's about this hour, it's time we go" Arga said with a flat expression. Realizing this, Salwa wiped her tears and kissed her parents' hands. "Ma... Pa... Salwa came home first yes," said Salwa before finally entering the car that will take her to her new residence with Arga. Not to forget Arga who is now officially the son-in-law of Rania and Ramdani also say goodbye to his two in-laws.
"Mh... The arga!" Arga who had just stepped inadvertently finally had to stop because he was called by his father-in-law. "Yes Pa, what's wrong?" Ramdani approached Arga and patted his son-in-law on the shoulder. "Papa titip Salwa with you, please take care of him and love him yes..."
Hearing the words of the father-in-law for a moment Arga was just silent, until finally he nodded and smiled blandly. "I'm the same Salwa said Pa, Ma..."
~~
Arga and Salwa, finally arrived at a luxury apartment located strategically in the city center. Arga's apartment is indeed a place that Arga used to live in all this time. After finishing transporting the Salwa suitcases, mang Dirman as Arga driver also said, "Pak Arga, I'm done...., if so I can leave tea first?"
Arga sighed, "*Mamang*you can go home! But please let the car just put it here, because tomorrow I want to use!"
"Every sir, then *punten* I say yes sir, mbak Salwa. excuse me," said Mang Dirman politely then left Arga and Salwa.
Salwa who was still busy looking around the room suddenly wanted to urinate. He who does not know where the bathroom is also intending to ask Arga. "Pulse... That Arga if it's a booth"
"Lo's room" With her heavy, flat voice, Arga pointed to a room to the right of Salwa, which made Salwa turn to the direction where the room was.
"Okay, but I'm actually in the middle"
"If the kitchen is right there, the kitchen decket dining room, if you want to watch TV you live in the middle room only. Well if you are fitness or others on the lower floor there is also a banya"
"OK *stop*!" Salwa whose words have been cut by Argapun has finally interrupted Arga who has been talking since. Salwa who is still wearing a kebaya appears to squeeze her legs tightly to resist the feeling of urination. Seeing Salwa's gesture, Arga frowned.
"Lo it..."
"Yes, yes... I just want a toilet, bathroom, or whatever the name is?"
Just realized that Salwa was holding back urination, Arga also immediately showed the location of the bathroom in his apartment was located.
"*Into thank you*!" With lightning Salwa was immediately ngibrit headed to the bathroom. And Arga also went straight to his room.
