The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

Wedding of Alvin And Nina

One month later.

A burst of sunlight began to peek at the eastern horizon. Welcoming newly awakened human souls from the dream world.

At Alvin's house, it seems that some people are busy with their jobs. Today is her wedding day. It should have been done a month ago, but it must be delayed because there was a disaster that befell his sister at that time.

Alvin does not host large parties, only small parties attended by relatives, neighbors, and close friends.

In the kitchen room, it looks like Dusk is helping other mothers who are cooking. His stomach that began to bulge did not make him laze. Instead he became more enthusiastic at the age of his womb which almost stepped 4 months.

Even with a little bit of her ability, she began to accept the order of pastries. Although fortunately only a little, but at least he can collect for the birth fee later. Twilight felt bad if he charged all his needs to Alvin, especially now his brother is married. Dusk tries to open a business that he can do from home. That way he can rest, if he feels tired, and tired.

"Nja don't be too tired!" alvin said while taking a cup of coffee that was on the kitchen table.

"No, brother, I only helped peel the onions" replied Dusk who was peeling the onions at that time.

Alvin smiled as he nodded. Then he walked away with his coffee. He helped to clean up the living room, which will be a place for his qabulu ijab later.

Almost noon everyone who was there seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief. Banquets, and also the place has been neatly prepared. Just waiting for the bride to come in a few minutes.

Alvin deliberately did ijab qabul in his own house. Since he would invite Nina to stay in this house, he would not have the heart to leave Dusk alone.

About half an hour later, Nina and her family had already arrived at Alvin's house. They are welcome to enter, and sit on a mat that has been held on the floor.

They are treated with wet snacks that have been prepared since this morning.

"Dad, Mother!" greet Alvin while greeting his two in-laws.

"After this you will be responsible for Nina's life. Please take care of her, son!" mr. Sardi said as he patted Alvin on the shoulder.

"Definitely Well, I will definitely take care of him, and also make him happy" Alvin replied with a smile. He glanced at Nina who was sitting next to her father. Her face looks so beautiful with a slightly thick makeup polish.

"Ahh how beautiful my life will be, accompanied by a woman whose face, and her heart like an angel. It turns out like this it feels to love, and be loved." Alvin's inner self with a smile.

"Nak please don't be angry, if later Nina's attitude is spoiled. All this time he was used to babbling with Mother." said Ms. Ninik.

"Yes ma'am, it's okay. Instead I feel happy if Nina wants to indulge with me." replied Alvin with a laugh.

Soon, Dusk came out of his room, and joined them all. She looks very beautiful with a light blue dress, which is combined with a white veil.

Dika who was sitting in the corner of the room, looked at him while smiling bitterly.

"You're so beautiful Dusk. To be honest I really wanted to replace Dawn, but it seems you didn't give me the slightest chance." said Dika in his heart.

Many times he tried to approach Dusk, but the woman did not open her heart to him at all.

"Of, Auntie!" greeting Dusk while greeting both parents Nina.

"Well, how beautiful are you, son, how many months has it been?" asked Ms. Ninik while touching the stomach of Dusk.

"Three months Auntie, soon four months." replied Dusk with a smile.

"May be healthy until the birth."

"Aamiin, thank you Auntie" replied Dusk.

And Ms. Ninik answered with a smile.

"Nina, how beautiful you are today" said Dusk as he hugged Nina tightly. His close friend will soon be his sister-in-law.

"You're so much prettier than I am!" nina replied with a laugh.

"I know what you say is only to comfort me." sibir Dusk.

"I'm serious" said Nina still with her laugh.

"Oh yeah, do I have to call Brother now?" ask Dusk while smiling sideways.

"Don't be crazy, I'm still your best friend!" nina replied while looking at Dusk.

"Is that so?"

"Of course, what do you think I am?" ask Nina.

"Your brains are beginning to slide." sneered Nina with a laugh. And Dusk laughed with him.

"If only I could make you laugh like that Nja, I would be so happy. Ahh don't make you laugh, just make you want to talk to me, it takes a hard struggle." Dika's inner while exhaling violently.

A few minutes later, pak pengulu has arrived. He was immediately welcome to enter, and sat down near the prepared table. Alvin's heart began to beat rapidly as he stared at the prepared ruler before him.

"Are we starting now?" ask Pengghulu sir.

"May." replied Alvin as he rubbed his forehead which began to sweat.

"Have Ijab been able to do it?"

"God willing." replied Alvin.

"Good! Then we start yes, but before that, let's say basmallah first together" said Mr. Penghulu.

Then they said basmallah together. After that Mr. Penghulu said the prayers, and then began to shake Alvin's hand.

"I married you Alvin Aldiansyah Bin Alm.Pramono with Nina Anindita Binti Sardi with a dowry of five grams of gold paid in cash."

"I accept Nina Anindita Binti Sardi's marriage with a dowry of five grams of gold paid in cash" Alvin said in a loud voice.

"How's the witness, legit?"

"Well!" answer them in unison.

"Alhamdulillah! Let us say puja, and praise our gratitude to the presence of Allah Swt who has united two people in a halal bond" said Pak Penghulu with a smile.

Then he led prayer, and shalawat.

After she finished reciting the prayer, and the prayer, Nina shook Alvin's hand, and kissed him. Alvin smiled, then kissed his wife's forehead long enough. For the first time, he kissed a woman.

Then Alvin, and Nina embrace both parents, as well as asking for blessings for the marriage they just did.

"Alvin thank you for choosing Nina as your life partner. Please love him as much as we love him. Nina, devote yourself to your husband, it is Ridhony who can open the door of heaven for you. Mother's prayer will always be with you, may you be waged his provision, and soon given a bogeyman. Hopefully you can be together until old." said Ms. Ninik while hugging Alvin, and Nina alternately.

"Thank you, ma'am, I have given you my blessing, and I have given you my best prayer. I will definitely love Nina, I will try hard to make her happy" Alvin replied with a smile.

"Thank you Mother" Nina said as she hugged her mother tighter.

"Dad entrusted Nina's life to you. Please don't disappoint Dad, son." said Mr. Sardi, hugging Alvin.

"Would never be Well." replied Alvin firmly.

"Don't be spoiled anymore huh, you're an adult now. You have a status as a wife. And maybe soon you'll be a mother, don't bother your husband too much!" said Mr. Sardi while hugging his daughter.

"Yes Dad." replied Nina in her father's arms.

"Congratulations, Brother, I'm so glad you're finally getting married. Now that Big Brother is no longer alone, Big Brother already has a companion alive. I'm so happy Brother." said Dusk while hugging Alvin.

"Thank you Dusk." replied Alvin briefly. He did not know what to say, because he knew deep down in his heart, Dusk must have been very hurt. He must have remembered his marriage with Dawn.

"Nina survived, and now you're a part of my family. I tipped Brother ya." said Dusk while hugging Nina.

"Thank you Nja, now that I'm around you, don't hesitate to share the burden with me. I will try to always be there for you Nja." replied Nina slowly.

"You are my best friend Nin." said Dusk.

One by one they took turns congratulating Alvin, and Nina. When they finished, they filled the event with meals together. Laughter, and jokes filled the room. The blissful look dyed their faces.

***

He slowly walked towards his backyard. He didn't want anyone to know about his grief. This day reminds him of the day he, and Dawn, let go of each other's singles, and decided to live together in a lawful bond.

Dusk sat on a bench while staring at the mango tree that was beginning to flower. His branch moved slowly blown by the breeze that blew lightly.

"May I sit down?" asked a man who was suddenly standing next to her.

Seriate.....
