Damar (Not) For Wulan
Mutia's Wedding

Wulan was confused as to how to behave. Just get to know it this time, but, why is it so familiar.

"Iren, how could I forget the same Wulan? His name is Wulan." Ningsih began to melt because she was relieved after meeting her best friend in person. His best friend's attitude is still the same as before.

"He's coming, Mom." Selena's voice distracted their attention.

"You sit down first! I'll follow up before Mutia's marriage contract." Iren invited his important guests to sit in the place that has been provided.

"Mas, why are you so late?" Selena was anxious for a man who had just arrived without feeling the slightest guilt.

"Whisper!" The man pinched Selena's cheek.

Iren pulls his son's arm into a room where there is Wulan and his family.

"Mama what the hell? Why did my hand get pulled away?" The man who had just arrived was astonished by the mother's attitude.

"Mama has a surprise for you. You want not if when you first SD have a friend like a game. He's in there with his parents."

The man's forehead wrinkled, he was trying to recall his childhood. However, he could not remember it.

"What is it, Mom? How can I not remember?" The man walked closer to a room.

"First acquaintance, who knows later you can remember him again." Selena, Iren and the man went in turns.

The Wulan family decided to pray Maghrib. Luckily there was prepared. Wulan who had just taken off her face saw Iren and two others enter. He quickly folded the face. Because she was dressed so badly, only the powder had faded. That was no problem for Wulan.

"Have you finished your prayers?" Iren greeted his guests. Ningsih nodded in response.

"Where is it, Mam?" The man asked the whereabouts of the head of the family.

"Sholat gathers there. Mama and Selen happened to be stuck again, so we relaxed. Your sister is a complicated one because soon she has to do a procession of akad."

"Oh yeah, you guys know dong!" Iren pushed his son's body to approach Wulan.

Wulan looked at the face of the man who had just entered. The girl tried to think hard.

The man shook hands with Wulan's parents in turn. Now, the two look at each other.

"Wait a minute, I've seen Elu. But, where are ya?" The man looked at Wulan from top to bottom.

"Have you met?" Iren did not think that they had met before.

"Ah yes, Elu bar-bar chick who wrestles the same bag me." Damar finally remembered it.

"Owh, I remember now. So, you're a haughty guy and you don't have the feeling that I left in the minimarket after nuker money." Wulan did not want to lose his opinion.

Iren and Wulan's parents were flabbergasted to hear the words of her son.

"Pfffftt, I think it fits." Selena tried to hold back the laughter.

"You know each other?" Iren looked at them in turn.

"The room is not familiar, Mam. He's the one who knows people well."

"Yeee, fuck. I don't know you either. You haughty dude."

"You two are friends from childhood. Even we both promised to set you up when you grew up." Iren added.

Wulan and Damar were wide-eyed, Wulan looked at the still calm Mother.

"Mama is wrong? Damar tuh can nyari chick to be a companion for life. Why use all matchmaking?" Damar refused to be betrothed.

"Mom, wait a minute. You mean about the lifelong bonded promise of matchmaking?" Wulan asked her mother for an answer.

Ningsih nodded in response. Damar and Wulan met face to face at a glance and immediately looked at simultaneously.

"Can't do that, Mom. It's about love, time must be betrothed." Wulan did not accept. He who had long liked the leader in his place of work felt this was all unfair.

"Who would also want to be betrothed to a bar-bar girl like Elu." Damar won't lose.

"Ma, everything is ready up front. Let's go outside!" the head of the family came to stop the debate of Damar and Wulan.

"Lho, our guest has already come." He greeted one of his guests.

"Kelvin's family is waiting ahead. They're also built up." The words of Papa Damar.

Wulan approached Selena, she whispered to Damar's sister.

"Come, we're going outside now! Pearls to be delivered just as fair." All of them except Wulan and Selena walked to the mosque pulpit because that was where the Pearl's marriage contract would be held.

"This is his vest, brother." Selena gives Wulan a knit vest.

"Thank you. It's good to cover your arms." Selena smiled thinly.

Wulan and Selena went hand in hand, they sat beside their families. The wedding ceremony began after the Pearl came using a modern kebaya in white bone. The veil is so neat with a crown on the head. She was so graceful and charming that the unblinking groom looked at her who would soon become his wife.

The host began the event with prayers and greetings to both families. When the core event began, everyone present seemed to hold their breath looking at Kelvin who was trying to say kabul.

"Alhamdulillah, legitimate." Calling both witnesses. Pengghulu leads the prayer. Iren was so moved and happy because his eldest daughter was officially a wife of people. The Kelvin family is like that, there are new family members who will live with them later before Kelvin is ready to live apart from his parents.

The night was a happy moment for both families. After the wedding ceremony is over. They all entered their respective vehicles to go to the Sriwijaya hotel which is not far from the Istiqlal mosque.

Arriving at the hotel ballroom, all the extended family and guests they invited including the head and witnesses sat in their seats. There were about twenty tables. The seats surrounding a table total ten. Wulan's parents were at one table with Iren's extended family.

Wulan felt stiff and tense because she had to deal with people she did not know.

"Ningsih, after this we talk about their marriage." Iren opened the conversation after the dinner was over.

"What do you mean by Mama?" Damar felt threatened. He did not want to marry an unloved girl. Moreover, the first impression with Wulan was so upset that he lost the bet.

Wulan wanted to make a sound, but, Ningsih who knew it patted her son's thigh as a code to be quiet.

"Pa, say it to Mama. Damar's thesis has not been stretched, the time will be betrothed." Damar returned to the ranting.

"Well, yep. Brother Mutia is married, Brother Damar also wants to marry. Stay my own son Mama and Papa at home, must be very exciting." Selena muttered alone.

"Tante, why didn't Aunt ask me first?" Wulan could no longer hold it.

"Guil!" Ningsih rebukes the child.
