As soon as Niko and her family arrived at Ririn's house, they were greeted kindly. A sense of joy and happiness emanated from Ririn's face. Ririn looked so happy that her sweet smile was always drawn on her lips.
The invitees and the pak pengulu were also present at the place. The wedding was held at the home of Ririn's parents.
Ririn came out of her house and headed to the wedding area in her courtyard which had been laid out as beautifully as possible. He was accompanied by his friend named Rita. Ririn clasped Rita's hand tightly. Ririn looked very nervous about facing this marriage. His heart skipped a beat very fast as he walked towards the wedding table that had been prepared.
“Ririn, your hands are cold once,” whispered Rita in Ririn's ear.
“Iya Rit, I was nervous once,” explained Ririn in a soft voice.
“You take a deep breath and throw it away slowly. Calm your mind and don't be too afraid not to be nervous,” whispered Rita.
Ririn was trying to do what Rita said just now. He tried his hardest to calm down.
‘Why am I so nervous like this,’ Inner Ririn while walking in the courtyard.
All the guests present looked directly at Ririn who was walking towards the wedding table. Everything seemed amazed by Ririn's beauty that looked so natural.
Ririn looks very beautiful by wearing white kebaya with glittering beads here and there. As for his subordinates made of batik commensurate with his superiors.
Ririn's already tall body wearing high heels also makes her body high as tall as a barbie doll displayed in the storefront.
‘Subhanallah beautiful Ririn,’ Inner bu Tanti look Ririn not blinking.
Everyone looked at Ririn with a feeling of amazement and was happy to see a very beautiful bride-to-be.
Niko looked ordinary and in the slightest there was no looking into Ririn's face. His face did not exude any happiness either. Unlike Ririn who looks very happy with her marriage.
Then Ririn and Niko sat together. Both seem very harmonious. Ririn is very beautiful and Niko also looks dashing.
“Where sir, can the show start?” ask the pengghulu sir to Ririn's father.
“Already Sir, please..”.
Then the ijab kabul event was held. Ririn looked very happy with her sweet smile always adorning her face. While Niko did not show any happiness or pleasure. His face looked tense.
“Where Father Mother, legit..” said pak penghulu.
“Sah.... legitimate...” answer all visitors simultaneously.
“Alhamdulillah..” reply all visitors present.
After the ijab kabul event is finished, continued with a joint prayer event led by one of the ustad. It looks like both of Ririn's parents are very happy to witness the marriage of her only daughter.
From Niko's face it looks that Niko does not like this marriage. Niko seems forced to marry Ririn so that in front of the crowd she is just plain even though her mind refuses.

After the Ijab kabul event is over, the next event is the wedding reception. The wedding reception was held as lively as possible because it was the first party held by Ririn's parents. Many guests were invited so both the bride and the two tired parents Ririn also shook hands with all the invitees. Ririn's co-workers were all invited as well.
After the wedding party was over, Ririn walked into her room to clean up. Tonight was the first night for her making Ririn a little scared and nervous about facing the first night.
In front of the mirror, she was dressed. He deliberately wears a very thin powder and also a little perfume so as not to be so stinging. Tonight was the first night for her so she dressed up as beautiful and fragrant as possible.
As soon as Niko came out of the bathroom Ririn's heart skipped a beat. Ririn was nervous. To relieve her nervousness Ririn then sat down at the side of the bed while playing her phone.
Niko who finished wearing clothes immediately combed her hair in front of the mirror. He did not look at his wife. While Ririn looked agitated and there was a feeling of fear to imagine the first night that she would experience tonight.
Finished combing her hair Niko immediately picked up the pillow and blanket that was on the bed. The pillow and blanket were placed on the sofa in his room without talking to his wife.
After that Niko immediately fell on the sofa while playing her phone. Ririn who saw Niko's behavior felt upset by herself. Ririn feels unnoticed by Niko, even though they are married.
Finally, Ririn dared to ask. “Mas Niko why not sleep here aja,” said Ririn who was already on the bed.
“I slept here aja Rin.”
Finally, Ririn was silent. Disappointed, he lay down on his bed. The feeling is very sad and painful to see the behavior of Niko who does not care about it. Though they are married but Niko does not seem to consider Ririn his wife.
‘Why mas Niko does not want to sleep with me, even though we have officially become husband and wife,’ inner Ririn sad.
Niko then got up from her sleep and looked towards her wife.
“I'm sorry Ririn. Give me a chance to accept you as my wife. At this time I cannot accept you as my wife because all this time I consider you as a sister,” said Niko.
Finally, Ririn was silent and her feelings were very sad with Niko's confession just now. Ririn never imagined that Niko could not accept her as a wife.
‘Niko seemed to be very heavy when Aunt Tanti asked him to make me his wife. I think because Niko mas love me then he can treat me as his wife, it turns out my guess all this time wrong.’
Although Ririn was disappointed but she tried to stay strong. He believes that one day Niko will accept him as his wife. All of this requires a process that is not short. The important thing is that Ririn must be patient and while praying that Niko will be a good priest for him.
When hearing Aunt Tanti's request to match Niko with Ririn, Ririn initially just laughed at hearing it. She is unsure if she can marry Niko. But with his earnestness especially Ririn has never been frustrated because she did not get married finally she tried to love Niko as much as when she loved her lover first.
Finally Ririn was able to love Niko but unfortunately until now Niko still considers her as a sister.
‘I have to patiently accept all this. But I am sure that one day mas Niko will be able to love me like mas Niko loves mbak Widya.’
