Being Married to My First Love
Season2. Wedding Fely & Nabil
Fely POV.
A few weeks have passed and my wedding day is just a few days away. Towards the H day I felt a little uneasy between happy and also sad.
Happy when all the preparations went well. The implementation of the marriage contract will be carried out at the front restaurant, at the request of the mother. Everything has been taken care of by my sister and mother.
As for the reception event will be held in the hotel ballroom to make it easier to rent a room for a large family of Mr. Nabil who comes from Surabaya. Invitation guests were not too much because it will only be attended by approximately 500 people from the extended family and Mr. Nabil, fellow lecturers, and class friends on campus. Everything has been taken care of by the family of Mr. Nabil and brother Abi.
By the way there was an exciting incident when I gave a wedding invitation to my college friend a few days ago. They were very surprised when they saw the name on the invitation. Of course they were shocked because, between me and Mr. Nabil, no one leaked about our ta'aruf to the people on campus, until the moment the invitation reached them.
I became their moons because the one who became my future husband is our own lecturer. And, the news immediately spread throughout the students in the same faculty as me. Many of them have wondered at me. However, there are also some of the students who are heartbroken because the young lecturers of their hearts will immediately release their bachelor.

three days later ...
My wedding day has finally arrived. I stood in front of the mirror, looking for a white wedding dress with long sleeves. On the front is decorated with swarovski grains and beautiful embroidery, so it looks more luxurious.
After being dressed by MUA, I wear a color hijab in line with my dress, which is bone white. Then, a fairy placed a long tulle cloth over my veil and added a little princess crown to the top of my head.
"God is so beautiful, Fe!" said Reyna brother who just entered my room with baby Alesha in his carrier.
"Not bad make up, sister?" ask my sister Reyna while looking at the baby Alesha who is fast asleep.
"No, Fe. Even your face looks fresher because the make up is very soft and does not look natural and excessive at all, very suitable with your character," said Reyna commenting.
"Well, brother? why am I nervous, brother?" I said while holding back the nervousness in my heart.
"Just calm down, Fe. Most brides will definitely feel the same way, but try to convince yourself that everything will be fine!"
Suddenly I remembered my sir's marriage to Raka back then. The marriage was very stressful because it was full of insistence by the villagers. I was so scared and didn't know what to do when they cornered me.
However, actually Raka and her mother were able to make me feel comfortable when they treated me well.
Somehow until now there is still something stuck in my heart, about why Raka prefers that woman over me. I was so sure he loved me.
"Fe, how dumb!" said brother Reyna who broke my daydream.
"Eh, what, Brother?" I asked a little surprised.
"Fe, whatever you're thinking right now don't be a burden on your mind and make you drift away from the bad atmosphere. Believe me, everything will be better than before. You want no? I was married twice and the situation is worse than it is today."
"Very nervous and erratic heart because married with compulsion. However, when we are sincere and patient in living the destiny, like whatever trials that come, we must be able to pass through it until happiness slowly comes to us" said Reyna at length.
"Yes, Brother!" answer's short.
I can't think of him anymore! my inner.
His oval face, chubby cheeks and tiny red lips make me anxious to kiss his face until his sleep is disturbed, as I usually do in everyday life after being tired of activities on campus.
After that Reyna's sister will grumble at length because I interrupted her break. Because, she had to breastfeed back baby Alesha who had not long fallen asleep.
"Eits want what?" sergeant Reyna's brother who's starting to be alert if I'm going to disturb Alesha's sleep. "Don't try to get close to him!" multimatum.
I also giggled to see Reyna's legs were glaring at me and keeping my distance.
There was a sound coming from the microphone. Apparently, the wedding ceremony will be held soon.
"Come Fe, we're ahead!" said brother Reyna invited me to join the event.
Arriving at the front restaurant, I sat with a row of large families while in the middle there was a rectangular table surrounded by pak penghulu, Abi, Mr. Nabil and two witnesses.
Abi recited his words of ijab, then Nabil said his words of qobul.
"I accept the marriage and marriage of Felycia Salsabila bint the late Ali Ahmad with a dowry a set of prayer tools and cash of one hundred million rupiah paid in cash," qobul from Mr. Nabil who made my body immediately goosebumps to hear it.
"How are witnesses legitimate?" ask pak penghulu.
"Well!" both witnesses said.
"Alhamdulillah!" say everyone.
In my heart I am very grateful, finally my marriage with Mr. Nabil went smoothly. We have legitimately become a husband and wife.
Mother and Mother Nabil led me to the middle of the event. With courage I looked up a little to look at Mr. Nabil who was right in front of me.
I was embarrassed when he smiled at me. Mother whispered in my ear that I might kiss her hand, as my first sign of devotion to the man who had succeeded in making me.
I slightly bent down to take his outstretched hand and kissed the back of his hand reverently.
Suddenly Mr. Nabil held my shoulder as I was about to straighten my body. Mr. Nabil slightly advanced and kissed my forehead for a while. I felt something I could not express in words.
After the ijab qobul event, we were seated in a chair dedicated to the bride. There is a sense of relief when the marriage contract procession has been carried out well.
Then when the evening of the wedding reception in the hotel ballroom. I wore a peach-colored wedding dress in harmony with Mr. Nabil's suit. While the large family wore cream-colored bridesmaids.
Throughout the event Mr. Nabil was very considerate and never once left me. He took my hand wherever he would go to see his guests and proudly introduced me to his guests.
The night was getting late and the reception was over. Mr. Nabil took me to one of the hotel rooms that would be the first night for both of us.
