The Ruler's Love Contract

Wedding Promises

A few minutes later…

"Sister Ara, do you accept any shortcomings of Brother Rain as a husband?"

The question was asked to me as I stood on the left side of my man. I saw him turn his head, saw me as if hoping that I would answer yes immediately. I also fulfill his implied desire.

"Yes, I accept."

I offer wholehearted acceptance of him. I hope he can also accept all my flaws. Apart from my age, I am still very young compared to him. And I wish he could always watch over me, no matter what.

"Are you ready to live your home life and pledge allegiance to her?" The question was asked again to me.

"Yes, I'm ready."

"Are you willing to love and raise your children?"

"Yes, I'm ready."

I am ready to be the wife and mother of my Rain children. There's no word no. Because to me he is everything. I love her so much.

"Please make your faithful promise."

I was then asked to make a faithful promise of marriage to a man in front of me. My words were spoken with all my heart until I saw her shed tears of happiness. Implicit if this marriage is very much awaited by him.

"Brother Rain, Sister Ara has accepted you as the husband and father of her children. Please say the sacred promise of marriage to her." My priest was asked to make a sacred wedding vow.

Rain then looked at me. In front of the invited guests, he stared within these two eyes. I smiled wholeheartedly at him too. She then held both of my hands and said the sacred promise of marriage.

"By reciting the name of the Most Exalted God, today I am referring to Aradita as the wife and mother of my children. I have pledged my loyalty and love for the rest of my life. I will share my life with him until the end. So accept me as your husband. I love you, Araku." He said it smoothly even though his voice sounded very hoarse.

Honey, finally ....

How beautiful I am when I listen to the sacred promises he makes. I nodded, too, confirming it. Simultaneously the entire audience applauded our new status.

"All praise be to the Lord of the universe." I heard Jamilah say that from near me.

"All praise. Finally ...." Jack hugged Jamilah as we were officially declared husband and wife.

This happiness is not just for us. But also for all the people who came. Rain hugged me in front of the audience. He could no longer hold back until he was not welcome, hugging me first. I also returned his embrace very happily. We were officially declared as a couple. It's unbelievable.

The sacred promise is over. My priest then took out the wedding ring from inside his suit pocket. She put a wedding ring on me. I also put my wedding ring on him. The photographers then photographed our togetherness. We showed the marriage certificate and the ring to the camera. No doubt some invited guests also took pictures of this togetherness. It feels so happy.

Thank you, Lord.

I think the pledge process will take a long time. But actually, just for a minute. It seems like my Rain has prepared himself as best as possible. So he was so flexible when saying the sacred promise of marriage. And yes, we are happy to be surrounded by invited guests.

“Congratulations to Mr. Rain and Miss Ara. You are legal as a married couple. Please kissed his partner.” My priest is welcome to kiss me.

Instantly I was shocked. I don't know why there's such shame that fills my heart when asked to kiss in public. I wanted to reject it, but I couldn't. This is our wedding day and should not be ruined. I could only swallow my own saliva.

Rain pulled my body. “Ara?” He was confused to see my rigid body gestures.

My priest was astonished, he pulled my body again. However, I immediately stayed away. He pulled again, I stayed away again. Until he finally held the nape of my neck. He stared hard at me.

“Ara ..?!” He looks angry.

“Sa-honey, ak-aku .. shy,” I said staggered.

We stood in the middle of the invited guests present. The whole eye is on us. Don't know why I'm getting so embarrassed, it feels like running away from here.

“Please Mr. Rain.” The host asked us to return, so that we immediately kissed as a legitimate sign of husband and wife.

My priest brought his face closer to mine, but I quickly moved away, refusing to kiss him. He tried to bring his face closer, but I stayed away again. I don't want to be kissed by him in public. I insist on my attitude. Until finally the audience was amazed by our courage.

“Hey, why the bride?” There were whispers from the audience who came.

I saw my man's face flushed. He whispered in my ear. “Ara, if you don't want to kiss me, then I'll find another lip.” He threatened me.

“Sa-honey?!” I was also surprised by the threat.

“Close your eyes,” her door while staring at my annoyance.

I swallowed and tried to close my eyes. Not knowing what was going on, I soon felt something soft touch my lips. Simultaneously the cheers of the audience were heard echoing all over the place. I peeked out from behind my eyelids, and Rain kissed me. He's taking me out for a fuck.

You shameless brat! In public, they invited me to kiss!

Finally, our sacred wedding vows went smoothly. Greetings arrived, one by one from the invited guests. So did Owdie and Byrne. They came in wearing black suits. I don't usually see them this formal.

"Happy Rain!" Owdie hugged Rain.

"remarkable. You're really great!" Byrne nodded and hugged Rain.

I see them sharing happiness.

"Ara, congratulations." Byrne then turned to me.

"Thank you, brother," I answered immediately, smiling at him.

"Every night we want to say it directly. But Rain said you're asleep" Byrne added.

"Yes, sorry. We could not be on time at last night's joint prayer. Busyness cannot be compromised." Owdie added.

I smiled at both of them too. "It's okay, Brother. Ara glad you guys came to her akad procession. Thank you very much, yes." I say thank you as sincere as my heart.

Byrne and Owdie nodded. "Then, we borrow your groom first." Owdie suddenly pulled Rain from my side.

"Hey, where am I going?!" My man's contact doesn't accept.

"Just come along!" Owdie and Byrne compactly pull Rain away from me.

Not knowing what they were going to do, I just let the three of them share the happiness. I was waiting at the wedding altar while sitting back and enjoying the banquet. Not long after that, Jamilah came with me. Yeah, already. Enjoy this wedding reception until it's over.
