"Oh yeah, one more. Can you put this one up for me?" ask Arkan without waiting for Mary's answer to the previous question.
Suddenly, Maria realized that there were two rings in a small box that Arkan opened just now. The one he gave to Maria, while the other, a plain ring with one small green eye. The same color as the diamond in Mary's ring.
"Rome .... " Ackan must call Mary to wake her beloved woman from the daydreams that may be thinking of the ring.
"Eh .. iy-yes. Sorry, Ken. I ... suddenly daydreamed. Is this ring a partner? I thought it was just one."
"I told you, this is a ring of affection between me and you. So ... obviously there should be two. One for me, and the other for you."
"So ... can you pin it on my ring finger, Ria?"
"of course. Of course I can" said Maria with a sweet smile.
Then ... he took the ring that was still left in the small box. He put the ring on Arkan's ring finger. Perfect. One word for a pair of rings that Maria had just seen during her lifetime.
Arkan smiles.
"With this ring, I hope we tie each other's affection, Ria."
"Me too" said Maria, smiling at Arkan.
Then Arkan pulled Maria into his arms. They hugged for a while.
"Mm .. oh yes. I still have one more piece of happy news for you, Ria." Arkan spoke while loosening his embrace.
Maria looked up to see Arkan's face.
"Happy news? What's that news, Ken?"
"Our bridal dress is ready, Ria. I came here too to take you to see the dress. Are you ready?"
"Can. Incidentally, I don't have much work right now either. So, it doesn't matter if you go see the dress with you right now." Maria spoke in a passionate tone.
Arkan smiled happily. Now, although it is not yet legal to be a married couple, but the two often spend time together. Well of course, they still didn't cross the face line between them.
____
Two weeks later.
All wedding preparations are ready. And today, the marriage between Arkan and Mary will be held.
Nervous is certain. But ... Maria's heart is completely filled with happiness now. He who has never been in love before, now feels married to the person he loves. Really happy thing, isn't it?
The wedding was held at the home of Arkan's parents. Since the people closest to Mary were all non-existent, she was alone there. Without a single family.
At that moment, he remembered his mother who was in the real world. Happiness is incomplete. But whatever the power, he could do nothing but carry out all of it as it had been written.
"Ria .. You are so beautiful today. Arkan must be very happy when he saw his beautiful angel is amazing," said mama Arkan while holding both shoulders Maria.
Mary who was sitting in front of the dresser did not say. He only smiled slightly as he looked at the face of his future mother-in-law from the reflection of the mirror.
"Your son-in-law's candidate is already a real beauty, madam. So, just a little touch of make-up, she's getting prettier." The perias spoke while tidying up his tools.
"Well, lady. It's ready for that."
"alright. Go, Ria! We go down to meet your future husband who seems impatient again to justify you as soon as possible."
Again, Mary did not answer with words. He just smiled a little while following what mama Arkan said.
While playing the diamond ring that Arkan gave him that remained attached to his ring finger, Maria woke up from sitting down. Then, he stepped slowly following the footsteps of his future mother-in-law to go down.
Walking slowly like a person who is just learning to walk is a tradition as a bride. That's when, people will admire the face of the bride because of the difference in makeup from the usual days.
That's what Mary is like now. When he came down by going down one by one stairs with a fairly slow step. All the eyes that were down there, all were fixed on Mary without exception.
Some people praised her as being so beautiful.
There were also those who only looked without blinking as proof of the admiration they felt.
He continues to be the center of attention until he sits beside Arkan. While Arkan who was beside him, was silent as he continued to stare in amazement at this woman he loved.
"Ehem ...ahem .... " Pejulu sir must understand to awaken Arkan from his daydreams that continue to look towards Maria, the future wife of his dreams.
"Eh .. sorry, sir. I ...." Arkan spoke in an unpleasant tone. He also hung up his sentence without intending to continue.
"I understand. His name is also a person who is in a hangover romance," said pak penghulu teasingly.
"Oh yeah, can we start now?" ask the gentleman again.
"Could, sir. Let's start as soon as possible." Arkan spoke in a passionate tone.
"That's right, don't embarrass papa, yeah" said his father, who was sitting next to Arkan.
"Eleh .. papa used to be the same cake. More hasty." Mama Arkan spoke.
"Mama .. please don't reveal the secrets of the past in front of the crowd. Shame on papa."
"Ah .. preferably, this debate will continue later. We must start now out of pity with the two brides who seem to be very impatient again." Pak Penghulu immediately became an intermediary so that all did not beat around the bush.
"Yes, pengulu sir. Let's start," said Arkan increasingly sounding impatient.
The gentleman immediately extended his hand. Ask Arkan to shake the hand to hold this very sacred kobul ijab.
"Son Arkan, we're starting now. Bismillahbornrohmanirrohim. Nak Arkan .... "
"Wait!" A voice that suddenly sounded loud enough to make the voice of the pak penghulu stopped.
Instantly, all attention was distracted. A sacred moment, now suddenly damaged by someone who suddenly came.
Everyone in the room looked at each other. Look at each other with their own minds.
While Maria, with a very nervous feeling, also a feeling of disbelief was raging in the heart. Sadness and happiness are mixed together. And disappointment must have entered Mary's heart now.
