You Pinang Me As Honey

Episode 24: Marriage

A bright morning. Traces of dew still clearly wet the leaves. The breeze was calm, adorning the morning that was waiting for the sunshine to greet to start the day.

Busy at the house of Hendrawan Adiguna, do not disturb the tiny birds that come alternately. Fly here and there enjoying the morning, while chirping occasionally. Butterflies were scattered in the courtyard. Landing on a strand of colorful fresh flowers in Arinda's mother's beloved garden. They seemed free without restraint, doing everything they wanted.

But they're not all the same. In a spacious guest room, some people were taking their duties seriously. None other than that, they are responsible for turning an Arinda into the most enchanting queen of the day. To prove to Mr. Ardan that they are professionals with unquestionable abilities.

Everything must be perfect in the eyes of an Ardan. To make everyone preoccupied with all seriousness, even as if working under pressure. Make them reluctant to just flex the lip muscles to smile a little.

"Focus...!!!"

"Must okay. Gotta be perfect...!!!"

"Don't be careless...!!!"

"Never be wrong...!!!"

"There can be no 'sorry'...!!!"

"Just do it right, if we want to survive...!!!"

And blah. blah. blah. They are just working. But they are risking the future. If Ardan is satisfied with the results of their work, then their name will be even more soaring, classier and towards the top in their world. But on the contrary, if there is something as small as anything that disturbs the comfort of Ardan, do not expect them to be able to breathe freely.

Yep. Today was the most anticipated day for Ardan in his life. Married a sweet girl, Arinda Maharani. Although happy is enveloping almost all his heart, but there is still empty space left because the blessing of his mother has not been able to get.

"Mother, forgive your poor son..."

There was a groan in his heart as many times the sentence was spoken softly. Still expecting, even though it has to chase with time. Just the clock. Because in a moment, the sacred promise of the marriage bond must be said Ardan. Either with the blessing or without the blessing of his beloved mother.

On the way to a building, Ardan and Arinda's wedding ceremony will be held. Ardan sat down casually in his car. With Victor and his personal driver. In a separate car, there was Mr. Alex and Mr. Johan, with Bi Imah and a waiter walking behind Ardan's car. They look like they are coming together, because their Master is blooming because he has got what he has been waiting for all along.

The day before H, Ardan and his small group of villas were already in the city where Arinda lived. They stayed at one of the luxury hotels under the company that Ardan leads. At the hotel, Ardan prepares for his wedding

It takes 15 minutes from the hotel to the building where the event took place. Not a word came out of Ardan's mouth in that time. He looked out the window, but saw nothing out there. His mind was on his beloved mother.

"We've arrived, Mas..." Victor's words disperse Ardan's daydream. Shortly after the car stopped, Victor exited first then opened the back door, letting Ardan out as well. The car stopped at the main door of the building. From there look chairs and tables that have been beautifully decorated, where Ardan will say his sacred promise.

Ardan smiled. Seemed happy implied on his curvy lips that. He stepped with certainty, entering the building that was still occupied by the passing of the workers from WO and catering who were preparing. And there also seemed to be a few chosen people, the closest relatives of the Arinda family and the Ardan family.

Ardan approached them one by one. Experiencing and not forgetting to say thank you for their presence and prayer. But suddenly his steps stopped, when he saw the figure of someone who was not far in front of him. Together with a small entourage of nuclear families that had filled his head earlier.

"Mother..." With sparkling eyes and about to sob, Ardan accelerated his steps toward the mother who was standing in wait. He quickly grabbed the body of his beloved mother and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you, Mommy. I finally got here..."

"Hmm, how could you miss a moment of happiness for your child...?" Mother's words trembled slightly holding back the cry, while gently rubbing the head of her youngest son. They both smile. Relieved.

Then Ardan approached Aldi and Hana, shaking hands and hugging them happily. Not to forget he greeted his 2 nephews, Mika and Kevin, who were 11 and 8 years old.

"It hasn't been long in this building. But it's been a while in Arinda's house..."

Mother's words surprised Ardan.

"What...? I've met Arinda...?"

"Had..." Seeking a comfortable sitting position.

"Wahhh, I'm starting to cheat. Meet Arinda secretly without telling Ardan..."

His mother just smiled, hearing Ardan's words which he thought were chattering cheerfully.

"What are you talking to her about...?" Imbuh Ardan is curious.

"Much..." I glanced at Ardan. Trying to tease. "Including telling her to be prepared and patient with the youngest daughter of the naughty mother..."

"Ahh, Mommy. Why talk about that...? Ardan isn't a bad boy..."

"How not to be naughty.., suddenly bring news of getting married again. Without letting you see your future wife and family first..."

Hearing that, Ardan endured the embarrassment and tried to hide his guilt mixed into one.

"Yes Mother, forgive your naughty son...! But I'm glad you got the bonus of one more son-in-law..."

Ardan grinned happily. Trying to fix the situation that had heated up a few days ago. They chatted and joked for a long time, until finally there were some officers who would marry Ardan and Arinda. Someone approached him kindly, and invited Ardan to sit in the chair of the bride-to-be.

Ardan left, after asking for prayers and blessings from his mother. Sit quietly while preparing to say the sacred promise of her marriage. At times he seemed to speak to the attendant sitting in front of him, and answered some questions to complete his wedding documents.

Before long, Arinda arrives with her nuclear family. Welcomed Victor and some of his relatives. Arinda looks so beautiful and charming. Gracefully. With a simple dress but still impressed luxurious. Natural makeup and minimalist hairstyle, making it look more elegant. Arinda really made everyone inside the building giggle in amazement at her.

A knot smile adorns Arinda's lips. While walking towards the bride's chair, his eyes were cynical to see the figure of Ardan who had been waiting for him in the bride's chair. However he was able to control himself and maintain that sweet smile. Arinda sat down slowly, helped by several people from WO to fix the position and arrange her dress. Arinda was able to reply Ardan's greeting quite sweetly.

A few moments passed. It was time for Ardan to make the sacred promise of his marriage. All was calm, listening and watching Ardan who smoothly and perfectly said it. And finally, Arinda Maharani has legitimately become the wife of an Ardan Darmawan.

Everyone seems happy. For the first time, Arinda kissed the back of her husband's hand. A small kiss from Ardan landed softly on Arinda's forehead. Both seem happy. Though the truth is, that's not what Arinda felt. Because at this time, she is performing as a bride who is blooming.

The show continues. Guests are busy choosing and enjoying dozens of types of delicious and luxurious dishes served buffet by the famous catering companies of the capital. While the two brides were undergoing a shooting session, posing with various styles that showed the intimacy and harmony of the two of them.

Everything went smoothly without the slightest obstacle. Until noon, the show was over. The relatives went home. And the nuclear family of the two brides moved to the residence of Hendrawan Adiguna.

There, they spoke quite familiarly. Talk about a lot of important things. Arinda was changing clothes and preparing for a long trip.

Yep. From today she is a wife. She had to move to her husband's house. Precisely, to the villa where Arinda reunited with Ardan. That's what Arinda's parents agreed with Ardan. The villa will be a temporary residence, until the process of building a house for Arinda is completed. After that, the two will move back to their new home.

Only Arinda and Ardan left. With them is Victor and Ardan's private driver. Also Mr. Alex, Mr. Johan, Bi Imah and a servant who accompanied Bi Imah. The two nuclear families also let go of their departure with haru. This is when Ardan and Arinda will live a new life, in their own way.
