Butterfly In You
Chapter 31: The Wedding Day

Black suit complete with tie and vest, Shehan's perfectly proportioned body wrap. In addition to giving the impression of valiant, he also looks dignified and handsome on his wedding day.

Clasping Lilis-sang's hand, Shehan walked into the hotel room to be used for the wedding. All the eyes of the invited guests were on them as the two set step by step.

On the basis of family discussions, so as not to burden Shehan also decided to hold a wedding reception with Lilis in the city of Banyuwangi. Because of the relatives of Lilis who were allowed to attend, the whole lived in the city.

While from Shehan's own side, who can attend the event is only his younger sister-Mehrunissa. Both of Shehan's parents happened to have died. In addition to Shehan's sister, Jesslyn, Mbok Tum, Pak Maman and not to miss Sarah along with Jody and Nurbanu, attended the sacred event.

Shehan and Lilis both sat facing a ruler with a kabul table as a separator. As a veil was attached to the head of the two of them, the marriage contract began.

Both Shehan and Lilis, as well as the invited guests who attended listened carefully to the words of welcome and sermon delivered by the ruler. Next is the peak session of a series of wedding contract events, ijab kabul.

"I marry you, Shehan Murad bin Okan Murad with Lilis Ekawati bint Ahmad Budiyanto with a dowry a set of diamond jewelry paid in cash,”.

Then Shehan replied. “I received his marriage, Lilis Ekawati bint Ahmad Budiyanto with dowry a set of diamond jewelry paid in cash.”

"Is it legal, Brothers?"

"Well! That's right!" the witnesses were joyful.

With a still down position, Lilis slowly turned to Shehan who was now officially her husband. There was happiness mixed with sadness in her eyes. Nining, who was in the line of guests and sat next to Doni-Adik Lilis, could not help but cry when she saw her only daughter was married.

'Mother wishes, you're always happy, Lis.'

Many times the middle-aged woman wiped away the tears. Both ends of his lips twitched, trying to publish a happy smile even though it was difficult for now. Some of the brothers who were sitting behind Nining were already there to congratulate him.

"Congratulations on Lilis's marriage, Miss Nining."

"Thank you, yes," Nining replied then gave a brief nod.

After the wedding ceremony prayer recitation, the signing of the marriage book and the handover of the dowry, the time has come for Shehan and Lilis to exchange rings. Each of them has a ring that will be worn to the ring finger of each. It started with Shehan first.

'Lilis Ekawati, as your husband I apologize. Sorry, I can't love you sincerely yet. I'm sorry, I haven't been able to give you any space in my heart. Sorry can not make you happy born and inner. Sorry, if I'm gonna divorce you after a year of our marriage.'

Shehan then pinned the white gold ring to Lilis's ring finger. The next five seconds, the ring had been perfectly plugged in. It was only Lilis who got a turn to pair the ring on Shehan's ring finger.

'Mr. Murad, as a woman, I apologize. Sorry for marrying you for a specific purpose. But as your wife, I will try to follow the rules of cooperation that we have agreed to. Whatever happens next, hopefully we can both stand the test.'

Lilis gently pinned the wedding ring to Shehan's ring finger. The two of them raised their faces and faced each other for quite a while. Looking into each other's heart through intense gazes.

Nining seemed busy serving the other guests when all the marriage contract process had been carried out and ended. In between the crowd, Nurbanu ran a small approach to his father.

"Mr ...."

"Darling!" Shehan hugged his daughter tightly and then carried her. He kissed the little boy's cheek once.

"Papa, today Papa is married to Sister Lilis, huh?"

"Yes, Banu. Who told Banu?"

"Mama said it. What's married, Pa?"

Lilis who was beside them let out a small laugh hearing Nurbanu's innocent question. While from the opposite direction, Sarah and Jody came with happy looks, wanting to congratulate them.

"Banu, it's the same Mama. Papa is busy right now," Sarah asked as she spread her arms to take her daughter from Shehan's sling. Shehan gave it to him.

"Congratulations, Shehan and Lilis on your marriage."

A line of Shehan's smile was created, shaking hands later. "Thank you, Jody. It's been time to come here with Sarah."

"Of course I'll be there. So no need to hesitate, Shehan." Jody was friendly. Although his profession is a famous singer. However, the humorous man remained humble.

"Thank you, Mas Jody." Lilis.

Jody's attention was now distracted by Lilis. "Well, Shehan! You're so lucky to have such a beautiful wife." Stare in amazement.

"Ah, Mas Jody could have!" Lilis lowered her head, blushing in shame. Shehan himself smiled faintly at Jody's praise for his new wife.

A moment Shehan was stunned, looking at the beauty Sarah who came in in bright red dress today. The lipsticks are also matching, bright red in color as well. Lilis who was there accidentally caught Shehan looking at Sarah with a loving look.

'I know Mr. Murad still loves Sister Sarah very much, ' muttered Lilis, sighing softly trying to understand.

"Thank you, Sarah." Shehan answered.

"You must be very busy with the other guests right now. Me, Jody and Nurbanu will taste the dish first." Sarah pulled away.

"Yes .. yes, please." Shehan moves from Sarah to Jody. "Please Jody, please don't hesitate."

"Hhm ...." Dehaman Jody was clear enough to express his agreement.

"Come, Honey!" Sarah tried to embrace Jody's arm. Jody who knew Sarah was a little troubled carried Nurbanu, giving her understanding.

"Banu, here's a sling! We're gonna fly, get that sweet cake Banu likes!"

"Yes, Om!" the little boy was excited.

Lekas Nurbanu moved into Jody's arms. Sarah was of course pleased with Jody's kindness. She embraced her husband's left arm, side by side going to the table of dishes.

Shehan who was left behind was still staring at them even though the couple had gone quite far. Lilis can only be generous, she feels she has no right to be jealous or angry because her status is only a contract wife. Only he, Shehan, Mr. Sebastian and God know.

"Congratulation for you, Shehan and my beloved sister in law, Lilis!" Mehrunissa also congratulated her on the marriage of her sister and Lilis. But unfortunately, he could not stay longer in Indonesia because of his work problems that accumulate in Turkey.

Mbok Tum who came with Pak Maman also congratulated the newlyweds.

"Congratulations, Non Lilis. Mbok does not know that Non Lilis is the future wife of Mr. Mbok apologized if all this time like to ask Non Lilis to help with homework."

Lilis clasped Mbok Tum's hand with both hands. "It's okay, Mum. I have considered Mbok Tum like my own parents because in Bali, I have no one but Mbok Tum and Pak Maman. In the future, I will still help Mbok Tum."

"Don't Non-Lilis, Mbok feels bad!" Mbok Tum frowned.

"Please don't behave differently after this, Mbok. I'm still the old Lilis even though I'm married to Mr. Murad."

Seeing the sincerity of Lilis's eyes, Mbok Tum finally collapsed as well, according to Lilis' request. "Alright, Non. Thank you very much, Non Lilis has been generous with Mbok Tum."

Lilis gave her sweet smile in response.

Not unexpectedly, Hendra and Tina were also present at Lilis and Shehan's wedding, after Lilis previously gave them an invitation card through her mother-Nining.

"Shehan ... Lilys!" Hendra was the one who greeted first.

Instantly Lilis semringah. "Eh, Mas Hendra! Sister Tina!"

"Congratulations on your marriage. Sorry about what happened that time." Hendra continued his words.

"It's okay, Hendra. Everything is clear and no longer needs to be discussed. Thank you for coming." As a fellow man, Shehan represented Lilis to speak.

"Congratulations, Lis. You are now a bride too." Tina hugged Lilis, familiar.

"Tama-sama, Sister Tina. Thank you for coming."

Lilis and Tina's embrace stretched. Give each other a warm and peaceful impression. Both Lilis and Tina, were already wiser in attitude now. There is no more misunderstanding between them.

After the departure of Hendra and Tina, Jesslyn replaced their position to congratulate them.

"Shehan, congratulations on your marriage!"

"Thank you, Jesslyn."

Shehan and Jesslyn hugged each other long enough. Jesslyn let out a long sigh, closed her eyes, rubbed Shehan's back a few times. He was so because he wanted to melt something in his heart that Lilis did not know what it was. The innocent girl who has officially become Shehan's wife only considers their closeness as a best friend.
