The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

Sah

"Seriously Ken, there's no point in Mama lying." Sahut Bu Ratih quickly.

Ken looked at his mother closely, as if there was something he wanted to say, but it was difficult to say.

"Ken, hurry up! Be prepared! This is the most important moment in your life. Don't let you make a mess" said Mrs Ratih, staring at Ken.

"I.iya Ma, yes I went upstairs first then." Ken said, stepping out of his mother.

But not far away he walked, suddenly he turned his body, and came back to his mother.

"What else?" shouted Miss Ratih.

"Make sure there are no mistakes. I want the decorations, the banquets, everything else, to go perfectly" Ken said quickly.

"You still doubt Mama, Ken?" Shouted Mrs Ratih.

"No Ma no, yes I believe, I'm leaving now" Ken said with a laugh. Then he ran up the stairs, he headed to his room.

***

At exactly 10:00 in the morning, the atmosphere at Ken's house was getting crowded. The whole family was already gathered in the living room, they were sitting together on the red carpet that was titled on the floor. A small table has been prepared, complete with a long white veil, which will be used to cover the head of the bride.

Alvin, Nina, Rashya, Dika, Anna, they had come since this morning, but currently Rashya was sleeping inside the room. And besides them, there were also Hery, Farah, Dion, and Bu Rani. Since there were problems that befell them, now the relationship between the two is getting better. Even the Mahardika family, and the Antony family, are now engaged in considerable business cooperation.

However, Ms. Rani has not changed much. He has not been able to be friendly to Ken, and also Dusk, but at least his attitude is not as cynical as it used to be.

Mr. Penghulu has just come, he and his partner are now sitting while enjoying a meal that has been prepared, while waiting for the bride and groom.

"Please sir, please enjoy! Here's the drink" said Mrs Ratih kindly.

"Yes, thank you."

Not long after, Kellyn came to see Mrs Ratih.

"The bride is ready Aunt" whispered Kellyn near the ear of Mrs Ratih.

"Yes," replied Bu Ratih while nodding.

"Vin, take the twilight!" said Madam Ratih while looking at Alvin.

"Yes aunty" replied Alvin as he moved from his seat.

"Let's go!" take Alvin to Nina.

"Yes." Yeah."

Alvin and Nina walked up to the top floor, to where Dusk was.

While Mr. Ratih, and Mr. Jeffry, they headed to the room that was downstairs. After cleaning up, MUA dressed Ken there.

A few minutes later, Alvin and Nina had already arrived upstairs. They went into a room whose door was wide open.

Nina smiled haru, when she saw Dusk that had been conjured like an angel. Her tiny body was clad in a white dress, with a sprinkling of sparkling blue beads. A veil of the same color, appearing to cover his head. The tip of the back dangles long, until it falls into the calf. On top of his head, there was a small crown ornament with sapphire blue gems. So pretty.

"You're so pretty, Nja!" nina shouted while accelerating her pace, and scattering closer to Dusk.

"Darling slowly, remember your content!" alvin said to his wife. Nina is now three months old.

"I'm so happy, sister" replied Nina.

"But there is no need to run, I am not going anywhere" said Dusk with a smile.

"You're so beautiful Nja, you're like a princess." Nina laughed cheerfully. He looked at the face of Dusk who was transformed like a doll.

"I'm ashamed of Nin." Saying Dusk while looking down.

"Come down, Mr. Penghulu is waiting!" take Alvin to Dusk and Nina.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Dusk and Nina at the same time.

Then Alvin and Nina led Dusk, and led him downstairs.

Meanwhile, Ken was already sitting sweetly in front of the penghulu. His handsome face looks so charming with a white shirt, and a black suit. Above his head, a black squat covered his slightly elongated hair.

Soon enough, Ken's eyes were fixed on the stairs. There was a wingless angel walking on his feet. The angel looked at him, while commenting on the smile on his reddish lips. Ken was stunned, even to blink his eyes as if he could not. The figure that incarnated before him, truly fascinated him. His heart rippled, remembering reality. Soon the woman will be his, she will be a field of reward for him.

"Ken!" Call Mr. Jeffry.

"It's not halal yet, it's normal to look at him." Syndir Pak Jefrry.

Those who were there laughed.

Ken did not respond to his father's jokes, he chose to bow, because now Dusk was sitting next to him. For the first time, Ken felt very nervous when he was close to Dusk.

"Mama said her aura made her nervous, but I don't think so. I was normal, not nervous at all, but after Aya came, I felt incredibly nervous." Inner Ken in his heart.

Mrs Ratih got up from her seat, she covered the white veil, over Ken's head and at Dusk. He smiled as he looked at his son who was ready to take a new leaf.

Brother Dawn, I'm sorry." Inner Dusk while closing his eyes.

"O Allah, soon Aya's life will be my responsibility. Guide the servant O Allah, may the servant lead him to a better path. Forgive the sins that you have committed in the past." Inner Ken while sighing long.

"Are you ready?" Ask Mr. penghulu.

"Ready Sir." Ken replied while nodding.

"Who's the marriage guardian?"

"I Sir." Alvin Sahut.

"You married yourself with my guidance, or resigned, and represented it to me?" ask the pengghulu while looking at Alvin.

"If I may, I would like to marry her myself, sir" replied Ken.

"That's good, I will definitely guide you," said pak Penghulu.

"Before we begin, let's say basmallah first!"

"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim."

And shortly after, Alvin began to shake Ken's hand.

"I marry you Kenzo Antonio Putra Bin Jefrry Antony with Dusk Light Binti Alm.Pramono with a dowry of ten grams of gold paid in cash," Alvin said in a loud voice.

Ken took a deep breath as he felt a stomp in his palm. Then he said his true Jabhat al-Qabulan.

"I accept the marriage of Cahaya Dusk Binti Alm.Pramono with a dowry of ten grams of gold paid in cash."

Although incredibly nervous, Ken managed to pronounce his qabulnya ijab perfectly.

"How's the witness, legitimately?

"Well!" Answer everyone there in a loud voice.

"Alhamdulillah, let us pray puja, and praise our gratitude to Allah Almighty. Which has united two people in a halal bond.

Now let's read the shalawat together" said Pak Penghulu.

Then they read the prayer, and also the prayer together. When he finished, Dusk kissed Ken's hand, and Ken kissed Dusk's forehead gently.

Then Ken pinned the jewel ring on his ring finger Dusk. Dusk smiled haru, the man who had once been a moor of his heart, now legally became his priest.

"May you be happy, your prayer will always be with you. May this marriage be a wonderful beginning for your life in the future. Take care of your wife, she has chosen to live with you, so never hurt her. Dusk be devoted to your husband, he who will be the door of heaven for you. Don't think of Mama and Papa as in-laws, think of us as your parents." Said Bu Ratih while embracing Ken and Dusk.

"Thank you Mama." Answer Dusk and Ken simultaneously.

"Make mistakes a lesson, never repeat them a second time." Whisper Bu Ratih slowly, but can still be heard by Ken, and also Dusk.

"Yes Ma."

"Ken, Dusk, you're married. Don't hurt each other, and don't lie to each other. Keep your love until later! Papa's prayer is always with you." Mr. Jeffry said as he looked at Ken and Dusk.

"Thank you Papa."

Then Dusk inched closer to Alvin, he hugged his brother very tightly.

"May you be happy Dusk, Brother will always pray for the best for you." Alvin.

"Thank you Brother." Answer Dusk.

Then they all congratulated each other on Ken and Dusk.

***

At the same time in a different place.

In a luxurious house, in one corner of Jakarta City. Two brides were sitting together, in front of the ruler. Although there are no fancy decorations, but some relatives seem to gather to watch the marriage contract. They are Jhon Victory, and Sella Marvellina. They'll have their marriage done in a few minutes.

A smile continues to expand on Sella's lips, her dream to become a rich man will soon be achieved. An endless pile of treasures, now it was stretched out before his eyes.

Next to him, Jhon Victory sat down restlessly. His face was sad, and there was no smile etched on his lips.

Why that?

I don't know, only he knows what the answer is.

"Are you ready?" ask Pengghulu sir.

Jhon Victory was silent, hesitating to answer the question of the ruler.

Seriate...
