“Pa.”
Abi lowered his gaze, looking at Kenzie who was standing near the tree house. The man moved his hand, asking the child to go upstairs. Kenzie set his foot up the staircase that led him to the tree house. He approached the father and stood beside him.
“Papa again what?”
“Nostalgia.”
“Nostalgia?”
“Hmm.. You remember, what age did you make this tree house?”
“Six years.”
“Ya. six years. This tree house is twenty years old. Time passes so fast. It feels like just yesterday mom gave happy news about her pregnancy. Papa was married for three months to your mother. Then happiness comes, your presence completes our lives.”
Abi's eyes continued to look forward, as if the man was looking at a white screen that aired the story of his life first. At the beginning of his marriage to Nina. Kenzie was silent, there was no desire to ask or respond to the story of the father.
“Papa still don't believe. It feels like papa just picked you up, taught you to walk, talk. And now, you're all grown up and getting married. Tomorrow you already have a new responsibility,” Abi turned her body to face Kenzie.
“Papa's son is big,” Abi pats Kenzie's jaw then rubs the corners of his wet eyes. Kenzie was no less surprised, the atmosphere between them suddenly turned melow.
“Be a good husband Ken.A responsible husband, a husband who can be happy and protect his wife well. Papa believes you can do it. You can also replace papa later, keep the company, look after your mom and sisters.”
“Please don’t say just like you wanna leave me, pap. You’re still with me right? You’ll gonna see me have a baby, your grandson (Please don't say such a thing pa, like papa wants to leave me. Papa will continue with me, right? Papa will see me have a son, a grandson papa.”
“Of courses. I’ll be here until you, Frey and Nan give me a lot of grand children (of course. Papa will continue to exist until you, Frey and Nan give papa many grandchildren).”
Abi held both of Kenzie's shoulders, then carried the child into his arms. Kenzie hugged his back tightly. His eyes are also glazed. He did not want to happen when he was a teenager repeated. Truly he is still unable if he has to lose his beloved father.
Abi's embrace unraveled, alternating with an embrace on Kenzie's shoulder. Kenzie turned his face away for a moment, wiping away the tears that had once flowed. Abi just smiled to see the child who still felt prestige if he had to cry in front of him or Nina. The top of the head of his eldest son.
“Are you ready?”
“In Shaa Allah ready pa.”
“Pronounce Nara's name correctly. Don't let you call it wrong.”
“Emang no fitting marriage contract wrong mention the name of the bride?”
“There hahaha..”
Abi's laughter breaks out in light of Kevin's old marriage. The man had to repeat the kabul ijab three times because of mispronouncing the name Rindu.
“As long as there is still time, do you want to ask?”
“What's the matter pa?”
“Any household, husband-and-wife relationship, about the first night,” Abi boasted her smile.
“Enggg...”
“Let's talk, as fellow men.”
Abi invites Kenzie into the tree house. The two men then threw their buttocks on the mattress that was there. With their backs against the wall and legs crossed, the two men sat side by side.
“What do you want to ask?”
“Nggg.. used to be papa same mama never almost kebablasan ngga before marriage.”
“Hmm. Your mama is fiuuhhh. Papa sometimes likes khilaf when close to him,” Abi chuckles.
“Why did you ask that? Don't you share Nara..”
“Ngga pa.. we do not do anything, just a kiss ahem..”
Abi again chuckled, especially when he saw the child's reddened face. Kenzie rubbed his nape to remove the grogginess that plagued him. He sounded dehemannya several times to drive away the clumsiness.
“Papa is happy you will marry Nara, the son of one of papa's best friends. Nara's a good girl. You will definitely be happy living with it.”
“If I refused the matchmaking at that time, papa would still force me.”
“Forced no, but papa will continue to make sure that you do not choose the wrong woman. Papa is grateful you received the match. You didn't make the same mistake as papa.”
“I mean papa?”
“Before marrying your mom, papa was married.”
Kenzie stared in disbelief. Abi and Nina and the other Wisdom families never told Abi's past to her children. They agreed to bury the dark time and continue to look forward. This is the first time Abi has spoken about it.
“Fahira. She is the older sister of Ruby, her mother Fathan.”
Again Kenzie was taken aback, but this time no questions came out of his mouth. The man chose to just listen, letting Abi finish the story. Seeing no reaction from the child, Abi continued the story. His unhappy marriage with Fahira, the wife's affair which then leads to a fatal accident, all flows from his mouth. Of course Abi missed Jojo's part of misunderstanding him.
“So the nurse's mom was papa?” kenzie asked after Abi finished telling her story.
“Iya. After the accident, my life was ruined. A year papa shut himself up, papa's life destroyed, papa lost the spirit of life. But that all changed after I met my mom. Your mama is a great woman. He can restore papa's confidence, give a new spirit to papa and most importantly, your mama loves papa sincerely.”
“Mama says papa did a lot for mama, one of them found Anfa om. Papa is also very protective and loves mama.”
“What papa does for mama, nothing compares to what your mama did for papa. And it's papa's duty to look after and protect mom. Because papa loved her so much.”
“I want my household like mama and papa. Love each other, love, fill each other's shortcomings.”
“Papa and mama will always pray for you.”
Kenzie smiled, in his heart grateful to be given a harmonious and happy family. The conversation between the two continues to flow. Kenzie asked a lot about himself as a child. Sometimes they heard their laughter when Abi told him about his behavior as a child.
“Hmm.. pa. if about.”
“What's the matter? What is clear if you say do not cut into pieces,” Abi deliberately teased her son. He knew where the child was talking.
“If papa used to be with mama his first night how?”
“Ngga no first night.”
“Serious pa? Papa lied, right? There was no first night? Mama is the same papa ngga ahem-ehem what?”
“What is ahem-ehem?”
“Ngga don't be plain pa. I'm old too,” Kenzie grumbled because Abi always teased him.
“The wedding of mama and papa was held from morning. At two o'clock in the afternoon the show was done. So why wait until night. Just hit the gas, the first afternoon hahaha.”
Kenzie gawking, it turns out the papa is a category of people who highly uphold time efficiency. Unimaginable, in the midst of the hot afternoon air, the newlyweds even make the atmosphere hotter.
“You must learn the real thing so that you can satisfy your wife. Don't follow your cheeks. First night even mabar.”
“Hahaha... seriously pa? The mabar? Jeez cheek hahahaha..”
“You want to follow your cheek trail?”
“Play pa.. follow papa aja hahaha's trail.”
“You got a perverted genie tightness where?”
“At the tree house. Nih jin bawdy beside me.”
“Basic of beefy children.”
Abi snapped at Kenzie's head who called him a perverted genie, but no doubt he also laughed. They resumed the conversation. But the conversation this time was quite serious even tense. Several times Kenzie swallowed his saliva as Abi gave him the science of making love.
☘️☘️☘️
Bada Ashar all members of the Wisdom family, the Jojo family, Kevin, Radix and Gurit have come together. Likewise, the families of the children of Aswan and Faithful have also come. Not to forget Beno, Agung and Dendi also came with his family. They were about to witness the passage of the sacred promise between Kenzie and Nara. Because the wedding schedule is advanced early, the penghulu who will marry only have free time in the afternoon.
Exactly at four o'clock, all concerned are already at the agreement table. Penghulu, Jojo and two witnesses are ready in their respective positions. Agung will be a witness for Kenzie's side, while Charlie will be a witness from Jojo's side. Kenzie himself was already sitting opposite Jojo. While Nara is still waiting in a small room in the ballroom, accompanied by Adinda as well as Naya and Dilara.
On the side, close to the pelaminan stage, wedding and dowry shipments are neatly arranged on the table. The show will start soon.
After checking the completeness of the documents of the two brides, the ruler invited Jojo to begin the procession of the contract. After saying the basmallah inwardly, the man extended his hand towards Kenzie. Taking a deep breath, Kenzie welcomed Jojo's hand and held it tightly.
“Ananda Kenzie Nagendra Wisdom, I marry and marry you to my daughter, Naraya Ofelia bint Jovan Romano with a gold dowry of 5kg bars paid in cash!”
“I received his marriage and his marriage Naraya Ofelia bint Jovan Romano with the dowry in cash!”
“How are the witnesses legitimate?” ask the ruler.
“SAH!” kevin and Charlie at the same time.
“SAAAAAAHHHHH!!” sambar's cousins and Kenzie's best friend whose voice is like a choir with Kenan in front of them in the style of a conductor tub.
Hearing that the contract process has been completed, Adinda and Naya and Dilara bring Nara out of the room. Flanked by her mother and two sisters, Nara steps towards the board table. Kenzie turned his head to look at the woman who had only a few minutes ago become his wife. Her eyes did not blink looking at Nara's beautiful face in a modern kebaya of broken white.
No different from Kenzie, Nara also stared unblinkingly at the man who had now become her legal husband. Kenzie looks handsome and dashing wearing a broken white color enclosure. The girl's chest was pounding as her steps were getting closer to the dead table. Arriving there, Adinda sat her son beside Kenzie.
Fathan handed him the dark blue velvet box that had been on him. Kenzie opened the box and pinned a small diamond-encrusted wedding ring to Nara's ring finger. The same thing Nara did. He took the remaining ring and put it on Kenzie's ring finger.
Nara grabs Kenzie's hand and kisses the back of her husband's hand in reverence. Kenzie holds both shoulders and lands a kiss on his wife's forehead. Not stopping there, Kenzie also kissed Nara's lips, making the bride blush in shame. All who watched were also shocked by the actions of the man who was often cold. Only then did that cause a commotion.
“Buset play nyosor adek me aja!” Barra's.
“Soang mode in action!” Ezra.
“Nabirong!” Arics.
“Hold Ken, there are still many singles!” Fathan.
“Ngamar sono ngamar!” Ravins.
“Wadaw my eyes stained!” Anya.
“Fate to be single year,” Haikal.
“Polar dragon melts!” Virens.
“Jeez make travelotak,” Revan.
“Yes God protect the soul of this sacred servant,” Kenan raised his hands as if he were praying.
Kenzie took his ear from the ramblings of the juliders behind him. He and Nara busied themselves with signing the wedding documents. Next they are stylized in front of the camera, while showing the ring as well as the wedding book. The photographer again asked Kenzie to kiss Nara's forehead to be immortalized. After that again Kenzie stole a kiss on Nara's lips which again caused a stir.
“Child lo Bi, can be hot too,” chirps Cakra.
“Like father like son,” connect Juna.
“Udah really ngebet si Ken,” Kevin said.
“Luck Ken my descendant. If the descendants of Jojo, can be broke first the Nara,” replied Abi casually who immediately got delicacy from Jojo.
After a session that made a scene, the event was connected with the provision of advice from the penghulu for both brides around the household, the rights and obligations of husband and wife. Kenzie and Nara listened intently. During the Tausyiah, Kenzie's hand could not be separated holding Nara's hand.
The event continued with the gift of encouragement from the elders. Both brides came to their parents to listen to their advice. The first one they came to was Nina. Kenzie hugged his mother. Nina's tears flowed, the woman's happy cries came out to see the child already had a life partner.
“Ken.. mama's boy. You are now a husband. Be kind to your wife, guide her with patience and tenderness. Don't hurt his heart by raising your voice let alone hurting his physique like a papa who always treats mama gently and lovingly.”
“Iya ma. In the Lord, I will always remember my mother's advice,” Kenzie tightened his embrace on Nina's body. His eyes look glassy. Before long she broke her embrace. Give Nara a chance.
“Nara darling. Mama is happy, akhinya you become mama's daughter-in-law. Mama tipped Ken to you, had a lot of patience to face his stiff and cold attitude. But mama believes, she will treat you well because she loves you so much.”
“Iya ma. Thank you for giving birth and raising the perfect man for me,” Nara's voice sounds choked against haru.
Kenzie walked towards Abi who was next to Nina. The father looked at her with a full glare, his eyes were glazed over. He patted the child's jaw gently before the man pulled Kenzie into his arms.
“Papa's son is an adult now. You are already a husband, one more responsibility rests on your shoulders. Be a good husband, who can guide his wife, love her and protect her. Papa always wishes you all the best.”
“Still pa. For all the love that you give. I who now is the result of the upbringing and guidance papa. Without papa, I'm nothing.”
“Papa who thanks you for being born as a father's child, papa's pride,” Abi breaks her arms and then returns to pat the child's jaw.
Kenzie rubbed the water in the corner of his eye, as did Abi. Both are immersed in deep sadness. Abi and Kenzie's relationship is not just a father-son relationship, but both can be good friends. Abi looked at Nara and hugged her daughter-in-law.
“Beautiful papa's daughter-in-law. Thank you for accepting Ken as your husband, for accepting all the advantages and disadvantages in him. Papa put Ken on you. Papa is sure you will make him an even better and great man.”
“I will strive to be a good wife and good daughter-in-law to papa and mama.”
Now it's Jojo and Adinda's turn to give their advice to the newlyweds. Nara approached the mother, the woman who had given birth, raised and devoted her love to her. For a moment Nara cried in the arms of Adinda. In his toughest time, his mother who accompanied him a lot.
“Be a good wife, Ra. Respect your husband, take care of him and take care of your marriage, both are precious things in your life. Be heaven for your husband, his home after he was tired of making a living for you.”
“Iya ma,” replied Nara in the middle of her crying. Still in the position of hugging Nara, Adinda pulls Kenzie in her arms.
“Mama titip Nara. If he makes a mistake, punish him in a good way. Treat him gently. Mama trust Nara to you.”
“Iya ma. In Shea Allah I will be a good husband to Nara.”
Adinda unravels her embrace. His hand rubbed the tears that drenched his daughter's cheeks. Then Nara approached Jojo. Seeing the face of the father who had been covered in tears, Nara immediately scattered in Jojo's arms. A close hug and a kiss are given by the man to his son.
“Papa..”
“One of papa's responsibilities has been reduced. Now Ken is your husband, your life priest. He is responsible for your life, the afterlife. Respect, respect and obey your husband because he is your way to heaven. Papa will always wish you all the best. Don't forget to immediately give papa a beautiful and handsome grandson.”
There was no reply from Nara, the girl was still wallowing with her cries. Jojo kissed the boy's forehead long enough then unraveled his embrace. The man then looked towards Kenzie. Her open arms welcomed the embrace of her first son-in-law. A few times he patted Kenzie's back.
“Thank you for making Nara your wife. Papa put papa's son on you. Love him like papa loves him. Don't waste him because he's papa's treasured possession.”
“Iya pa. In the Lord, I will be a good husband to him. As much as possible I won't hurt her, because I love Nara.”
“Papa believe that. Papa's prayer is always with you.”
Jojo let go of his embrace while wiping his tears. Kenzie pulls Nara who is still crying into his arms. Several times the man landed a kiss on the top of his wife's head. The couple approached their uncles and aunts. His ears were both wide open listening and receiving advice for them.
Relatives and friends who witnessed the sacred event also congratulated. The friends embraced Kenzie. No one expected, the cold man who was often called the polar dragon became the first to give up the status of single among them.
“Gue Nara, Ken. I believe you can take good care of him. I'm grateful she's got a husband like elo.”
“Thanks Bar. Take it easy, I will take care of Nara as if guarding my own life.”
“And don't forget, now you must respect me. Now I'm legal so brother-in-law lo,” Barra chuckles.
“Najis...lo who should be fine with me if you want a relationship lo ama Hanna smoothly,” reply Kenzie.
“Basic adek in law,” grumbled Barra who was only avenged by Kenzie.
After the blue atmosphere, the event continued with photos together. The two brides headed to the booth that the WO had provided. In addition to the two photos, they also take pictures with family members and relatives and friends.
Miss Ella, the person in charge of putting on the bridal couple's makeup asked the two brides to return to the room to change clothes. The reception will be held at seven p.m. And there's only an hour and a half left. Kenzie takes Nara's hand. The two immediately headed to the 10th floor, the place where the bridal dressing room was located.
