The Will of Love

ch 12's. That's..!!!

The expected day arrived. Today is Aris and Meli's wedding day. Meli just finished herself by the bride fairies. While waiting for the others to be ready, he remained silent in his room.

The kebaya is white, and the batik cloth bandages its slender body. While the make-up and bun further beautify his appearance. His mother approached Meli who was sitting looking out the window.

"Neng, are you ready to be born and inward?" Ask his mother while gently rubbing Meli's back. Meli simply smiled and nodded slowly with teary eyes holding back her cries.

"Neng, if this is what's best for you, I'm sincere Neng."

Meli looked at her mother. Then, hugged the body of the woman who had given birth to it.

"Thank you Mom, pray Meli ya ma'am." Saying, haru.

 

Outside, Aris is ready with his suit. He looks very handsome. Everyone looked at him in amazement.

Aris walked to his car and then he started the engine. Meli's father was sitting in the car next to the steering wheel. They are ready to go to KUA, just waiting for the bride and the mother and sisters Meli ready to leave.

Finally what was waiting came. Meli came out gracefully. Aris and the people around were stunned to see the beautiful look of Meli. This time, Meli like not the usual Meli. Meli the shabby village boy is now transformed into a beautiful angel.

Long enough Aris was stunned by it, enjoying the charm of the beautiful face of Meli this morning. Meli too, looked at Aris with embarrassment. Then, he lowered his gaze and moved closer to the car that was ready to take them all to KUA.

"Let's go." Said his Father Meli. Aris nodded, and sat behind his wheel. Meli sat in the back, next to her mother and her three siblings.

Many times Aris stared at Meli through the middle rearview of her car. Just to see the beautiful face of his future wife.

Fifteen minutes later they arrived at KUA. The group rushed down and headed into the office. Some witnesses and people closest to the Meli family, have been waiting for them in KUA.

Aris steadily entered the KUA office. Meli looks a bit doubtful. He was still staring at the office.

"Neng, come.." Call Mother.

Meli sighed deeply, making sure everything would be fine. Then he stepped up with certainty.

In front of the head, Aris and Meli sat side by side. In front of Aris, his father meli already looks ready to marry his son. After the preface and the advice in marriage is conveyed, the kabul ijab begins.

"I marry and marry you Aris Suryo bin Sutrisno admojo with my biological son Meli Andini bint Tatang Supriyatna with a dowry a set of prayer tools paid in cash...!"

Said his Father Meli steadily.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, Retno. I will marry this girl at your request. I hope you'll calm down in nature there." Aris muttered in his heart.

"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Meli Andini bint Tatang Supriyatna with the dowry, paid in cash..!" He shouted steadily without any mistakes.

"Well..?" Ask the witnesses.

"YEAH....!!!!" Excited everyone in the room.

"Thank God,"

Then they prayed together. The atmosphere enveloped the room. Meli's mother cried bitterly, so did her father Meli who wiped the tears that dripped on her old cheeks.

Meli kissed her husband's hand in doubt. Some cell phone cameras with low rosolution take the moment. There are no special photographers to capture their wedding. In Aris's mind right now is, what matters is that this marriage is going smoothly.

After marriage, they went home to Meli and gave a small thanks for their marriage today. Plastic benches decorate the courtyard of Meli's house. While the veranda and living room are neatly rebuilt, there are foods provided for guests who are also neighbors around the house Meli.

...

At night, Aris was still curled up on the mat as usual. But this time he seems to be used to it. He fell asleep comfortably and prepared the energy to go home tomorrow.

Early in the morning, Aris and Meli were ready to return to Jakarta. They also say goodbye to Meli's parents.

"Mom, Meli said yes."

"Be careful, son.." Said his mother while crying.

"Yes Ma'am," said Meli while wiping her tears.

Then, Meli kissed her hands and hugged her Father.

"You're fine there, Neng, you're also good with your husband, respect him."

The message of his father Meli makes Aris bowed haru.

"Yes sir" said Meli.

Aris did the same.

Everyone who saw was moved.

During Aris in Meli village, his life was like an Artist who was always observed by the people around him. They always huddle to watch the movements of her and Meli. At first Aris feels uncomfortable, but long-time Aris tries to fool.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Aris and Meli left Meli's hometown.

Along the way, not a word came out from the lips of the two of them. The atmosphere became clumsy and boring. The journey feels very long.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at Aris' house. Greeted by kang Jaja and Bik Parni who are enthusiastic to see the arrival of the two of them.

Meli hugging Bik Parni. Then, greet Kang Jaja kindly. Jaja also smiled shyly when Meli greeted him.

"Duh, Neng geulis... Kang Jaja misses half to death." She muttered while looking at Meli.

"Just help me." Aris's orders are taking the bag out of the trunk of his car.

"Eh, yes, sir sorry.."

Jaja rushed to help Aris to take the bag out of the trunk of the car and bring it into the house. Aris's bag, Jaja put it in Aris' room. While Meli bag, will be taken to Meli's room.

"Eh, the bag was put in the room next to mine." Said Aris with her sharp gaze.

"This is Neng Meli Tuan's bag."

"I know, put that in the room next to mine. From today Meli's room next to mine." Say it out loud.

"Bright sir."

Jaja nodded and carried Meli's bag to the second room right next to Aris's room.

While Meli and Bik Parni just look at each other.

When dinner arrives, Aris tells Jaja to gather all the people who work in his house. The Meli sitting in front of him could only bow and be silent without a word. After everything gathered, Aris immediately conveyed what he wanted to convey to his workers.

"Consideration to all of you. Now that Meli is my wife, you must honor her as you honor Miss Retno. And from now on, no one calls Meli Neng anymore..!"

Aris glanced at Jaja with a cold gaze, which made Jaja lower her head deeply.

"Call her Madam." Aris again.

All of his employees looked at each other.

"Yes it's over there."

All his employees nodded and dispersed themselves one by one. Meli sat in front of Aris and they had dinner together. Even without a word, between them.
