At the End of a Lovely Marriage
Stretten Day

The day we have been waiting for has arrived. The figure of the middle-aged man who originally looked so weak, today was really fit. The smile since morning continued to be pinned on the slightly wrinkled face.

“Dad, today our son is getting married.” say hello Amanda hugged the husband who was sitting on the side of the bed while tidying up his black suit.

Pradana stared lovingly at his wife. “Happy father, Nda. Today I am really happy. My deepest heart is so certain Mr. Kenzo is the right man for Laurent.”.

Amanda nodded in agreement. “Daddy's right, he's a good guy. My heart also says the same.”

Both of them hugged warmly. It's in Laurent's room in the make up. The woman was silent with no spirit on her face. Afraid, that was all that continued to ambush in his heart. He was afraid that this would be his second marriage and would fail again.

“May my intention to make Dad happy be the only way of good. God, I don't intend to play a trick on marriage. I just want Daddy and Mommy to be happy.” said Laurent softly.

“Nona, everything is done. Please don't cry anymore. Make up will be damaged.” said one MUA. Hearing that, Laurent could only nod slowly.

Laurent's room is now quiet again. Everyone seemed busy in the house. Well, this time the wedding was held at Pradana's house at her own request.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

Suddenly in the minutes approaching the event, the sound of Laurent's room door was heard on tap.

On a different side of the room.

Amanda and Pradana join hands. Their smiles ceaselessly adorned the faces of the two.

Downstairs, you can see Dendi, Kenzo, and two people they don't recognize except Kenzo who knows.

“Bu, Dad pick up Laurent first yah?” pradana and Amanda immediately nodded and smiled.

“Be careful, Father.” he said.

“Come, Laurent.” Pradana smiled as soon as her hand was held by the child.

All eyes that were on the lower floor seemed to be fixed on the bride and the man by her side.

Unknowingly, Dendi's bead eyes hurt to see the woman he craved is now married to his family.

Only he can do and be sincere. There is no intention to ruin the marriage that Pradana wants. Father of Laurent.

While Kenzo, looks to smile unconsciously.

Now is the time for ijab kabul to be directed. Kenzo's hands and Pradana's hands are already tied together.

Ijab and kabul were said by the two men until the sound of the cry said ‘sah’ echoed in the room.

The chanting of prayer was read by pak pengulu, until the time came when the bride kissed the groom's hand, and the groom kissed the bride's forehead.

Kenzo's hand moved to open Laurent's facecloth.

The whole family's clenched forehead saw Laurent's hand preventing Kenzo's hand from opening the cloth.

“Laurent, let your husband open it, Nak.” Amanda said.

“What's up, Laurent?” Kenzo stared at the full sight. The man had felt something strange about his wife. However, his foolishness actually made him so curious now.

“Stop!” Suddenly a loud voice sounded the figure of the man at the top of the stairs. He is Dendi.
