The Rose of De Haas

Chapter 38: The Beautiful Melody Towards the Altar

The blue sky befriended the bright rays of the sun that morning increasingly made a smile on the handsome face of Cecilion van der Linen glittering beautifully.

The young man looked increasingly dazzling with a formal black suit wrapped in his proportional body, preparing to immediately enter the church where the blessing of his marriage with the Rose de Haas will be held.

The fragrant perfume used by Cecilion also adds to the charm of the bridegroom.

The solemn atmosphere felt so vivid as Cecilion stepped into the church to head to the altar, waiting for the bride of his chosen heart to say the sacred promise of marriage together in the house of God today.

Cecilion's feet stepped steadily, taking each step towards the altar with a fierce gurgle that plagued his chest.

The overflowing happiness is very clearly reflected in the beautiful face, but on the other hand Cecilion is also nervous because it will soon release its bachelor time at such a young age.

Arriving above the altar, the compact audience felt a tremendous sense of awe after being able to clearly see the groom's face.

Indeed, in this city only Cecilion van der Linen was the most handsome man they had ever seen in person.

The melodious sound of the piano clanking gently accompanies, bringing the atmosphere of shahdu into the church along with the presence of the Rose who has stepped slowly into the church accompanied by the Grandfather as his companion.

While the Grandma smiled proudly even though her tears had begun to seep slowly from both her eyes.

Mawar's body was wrapped in a beautiful white wedding dress, which he bought with his own savings even though his Grandmother and Grandpa had forced the girl to buy a wedding dress using their money. Yes, the rose is stubborn.

Almost all wedding preparations held today he prepared alone with Cecilion the future husband.

They were really determined to get married so Grandpa and Grandma finally decided to buy them a wedding ring at the best jewelry store in town secretly yesterday and give it to Cecilion.

Rose's steps stopped just to the right of Cecilion's body, a sign that the blessing of the marriage would soon be carried out.

They stood before the priest, signaling the priest to begin the procession of the blessing of marriage.

The two throw each other the best smiles, a sign that they are ready to build a household together.

The pastor began the blessing procession, inaugurating Cecilion van der Linen and Mawar de Haas as legal and religious married couples.

"With this, you officially become a couple. Bridegroom, please kiss your wife" the Reverend said with a smile.

With a hesitant gesture, Cecilion turned around slightly to kiss the lips of the Rose who had now officially become his wife.

But because they had never done such a touch before, the new married couple looked so stiff that it made some of the attendees feel anxious.

"Kiss at a glance" whispered Rose whose face now looks red like boiled shrimp.

Cecilion nodded in understanding, the man then landed his lips for a moment on the lips of the wife while trying to control her embarrassment.

The cheers of the audience then rang out after watching Cecilion who gave a sweet kiss to the Rose, cheering the newlyweds who looked like a pair of fallen angels from heaven.

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

The sky had turned dark, the large teak clock that adorned the living room of the house was already showing at eight p.m. Roses were seen stepping slowly towards her husband's workspace with a smile.

"What are you doing?" asked the soft Rose to Cecilion the husband who had since seemed busy himself with some documents in both hands.

Rose lentik jemari brought a porcelain glass filled with warm sweet tea for the husband that he made himself.

Although now his life changed one hundred and eighty degrees from what was once served by the Babu and Jongos to have to do everything themselves, but Roses still feel grateful for being able to spend the rest of his life with the man he loves.

"I have to prepare a lot of things before I start work tomorrow. These documents are the key to my work that I must understand quickly," Cecilion replied with a gentle smile, thrusting his hand to take the tea from his wife's hand not forgetting to thank him.

Cecilion and Rose now occupy one of Grandfather's houses located on the edge of the city, they had actually refused several times but Grandpa and Grandma instead insisted and agreed to say that the house was a wedding gift for the two of them.

The house is not too big like a house owned by most Dutch people, but it is very comfortable for them both.

In fact, a few hours after officially becoming a married couple they immediately headed to this house to immediately improve and clean this house.

"You should rest at least one day first, isn't it tiring after taking care of the wedding preparations? the groceries given by Grandpa and Grandma could even be enough for us to eat for more than a month ahead," Rukum slightly upset because Cecilion immediately decided to immediately start working tomorrow.

"Grandpa and Grandma have given us so much trust, I don't want to upset them" said Cecilion kalem, rubbing the top of his wife's head gently trying to give understanding.

The rose pursed her lips. "Grandfather even said you didn't have to go straight to work."

"Then I have to keep working hard to give you a better life" Cecilion replied.

Hearing such an answer, Rose could only sigh bitterly.

The rose could no longer dispute her husband's words.

Grandfather indeed entrusted several hectares of rubber plantations to Cecilion to be managed to connect the lives of both of them in the future after seeing the talent of Cecilion's business which is indeed very impressive.

Despite being born and growing up from a family of wealth, Cecilion was not spoiled and so worked hard that it made Grandpa and Grandma even more confident to accept Cecilion as the husband of the Rose.

"Yes already. Go home at least four o'clock tomorrow afternoon," said Rose resigned while inching into the room.

Cecilion only giggled to see his wife sulking, but he decided to re-read some important files given by Grandpa earlier.

"I hope that after becoming your husband, I can give you a life more than you deserve my wife" muttered Cecilion after sipping a sweet tea made by Roses.
