Will We Split?
The second marriage
Alicia looks so stunning in a beautiful white kebaya. The kebaya is decorated with intricate embroidery and fine details that accentuate its elegance. This kebaya model follows Alicia's body lines perfectly, accentuating her natural beauty.
His eyes were beaming, radiating happiness and excitement because the day he had long awaited had arrived. Her sweet and warm smile spread all over her face, giving off a distinctive glow at this moment.
Her hair is beautifully arranged, decorated with fresh flowers that match the wedding decorations. In her ears, she wears fancy earrings that add an elegant impression to her appearance.
Alicia's hand holds a charming bouquet of white flowers, symbolizing the sanctity and eternity of the love she believes in with Marco. Her every move and step was filled with the belief that she would foster a happy life with the man she loved.
However, on the other hand, Marco looked anxious and tense. Although he tried to smile, but the smile felt stiff and insincere. Her eyes reflected complicated and heavy feelings, as she had to marry someone who was unable to achieve her love.
Marco occasionally looked at Dea, who was standing in the corner of the room where he was carrying out his marriage contract that morning. Dea smiled as she nodded her head in a sign of encouraging her husband to be able to smoothly recite the marriage contract for Alicia. Although it is undeniable that at this time his heart also feels sore to accept that he will be pitted by Marco.
Well the wedding between Marco and Alicia which only carried out the marriage contract without a reception at all. Even so Alicia and Ratna mama Marco look very happy because finally their dreams have been realized.
Penghulu enters the wedding hall which has been attended by Marco and Alicia as well as the families of both parties. Where only the nuclear family is present.
"Well, Marco are you ready to marry Alicia and accept her wholeheartedly?" Ask Marco. Again settled towards Dea the wife he loved the most. She was very hesitant and determined to marry Alicia. Dea again interrupted and smiled sweetly at her husband.
Seeing the response from Dea, Marco let out a heavy sigh to convince his heart that he must carry out this marriage. Marco nodded slowly in agreement.
"Alicia, are you willing to marry Marco and accept him wholeheartedly?" Penghulu asked the woman again.
Alicia replied with a soft nod and a blushing smile.
"Alright then I'll just start the marriage contract. You two are welcome to say Istighfar three times"
Marco and Alicia also pronounce Istighfar three times as requested by the ruler. Then proceed by saying two sentences of shahadah.
Because Alicia has no male parents and also her brother, then the one who married Alicia penghulu itself.
"Brother Marco bin Nurdin, I marry you and I trust you with Alicia bint Ramli whose guardian has submitted to me to marry him to you with a dowry of one million rupiah paid in cash." Said Penghulu.
"Sa.. i. I accept the marriage and marriage of Dea" said Marco.
Everyone present was shocked to hear Marco's words.
"Marco, my name is Alicia not Dea" Alicia explained.
"It's okay, we repeat again yes" said the ruler again. But for the second time Marco still mispronounced his kobul ijab. Until the man decided to go to Dea who was in the corner of the room.
"You should be able to ma boy. You have to do this for your family too, for my sake" Dea said encouragingly to her husband.
"But I can't afford to marry someone I don't love" Marco said, staring at Dea.
"Ma boy, you can do it. Remember that I'm here with you. It's all for me and your family" Dea told her husband.
Dea stood up and reached out her hand leading Marco to go sit next to Alicia in order to return to her cobbled ijab.
With the blessing and support of Dea, Marco was finally able to recite the kobul hijab aloud. Marco and Alicia became husband and wife.
Ratna clapped her hands and smiled with satisfaction to hear Marco succeed in making Alicia his second wife.
"Finally now Alicia is already my daughter-in-law" Batin Ratna smiled in satisfaction.
Alicia kissed the back of Marco's hand for the first time with a smile. Marco did not look at his second wife.
***
"Marco, tonight you sleep in Alicia's room. This is your first night" said Ratna as they finished their dinner together.
"Gak ma, tonight or night after night, I will remain one room with Dea. She is my wife" Marco said.
"I'm Marco, I'm also your legal wife" said Alicia asked Marco to admit.
Marco stared sinisterly at Alicia.
"Did you forget that our marriage is on paper only. I married you just to take responsibility for what happened, and just make sure you're pregnant or not" Marco said.
"So I hope you don't demand more with me" added her again immediately passed pulling Dea's hand to enter their room.
"Brazed you are Marco, braver you put me to shame before your family. Just watch my revenge. If I can't get back at you, Dea will be the easy target" Inner Alicia clasped her hand tightly staring at Marco and Dea's departure with a vengeful look.
"Alicia, you're patient. Hope you're pregnant with Marco's son so you and Marco will stay together. And you will remain my daughter-in-law" Ratna said.
Alicia was silent at Ratna's words. Well she had thought if she wasn't pregnant, surely Marco would divorce her. Because there was no reason for Marco to defend himself anymore. However, if she is pregnant, Marco will remain with her at least as long as she is pregnant.
"Yes, it's true what my mom said. If I wasn't pregnant I would have been divorced by Marco and my plans would have failed. Tomorrow I have to go check, almost a month also the incident is not, it must have been able to read whether I was pregnant or not" said Alicia in her heart.
