Forced to Get Married Pregnant
Chapter 7. Simple Wedding

Naura put on a sad face along with her in makeup. It was not the marriage he wanted. He wanted a lavish wedding in a luxury hotel ballroom with hundreds of thousands of invitations. Prewedding photos in Bali or abroad.

Wearing a wedding dress designed by famous designers and also full of happiness. Married to someone who loved him and loved him. But, it was all gone because of a pregnancy she did not want.

Only a super simple marriage will be in the title.

He had to marry Damar, that was the decision made by his father and also Damar's father. And now this is how Naura is, your life is not really alive. He was like a doll in the middle of a dress up.

"Bak, don't cry, dong. I'm so hard to make up-in mbaknya."

Naura just kept quiet without wanting to reply to the fairy's words. Even Naura did not care about everyone complaining because Naura repeatedly ruined her makeup. She no longer cares about everything after Papa and Mama find out about her pregnancy.

After an extra hard effort, the bride-to-be smiled with satisfaction at the sight of her work. Although she got into trouble because the bride cried all along in makeup, she patiently fixed it.

"Sir, don't cry anymore, huh? It's a happy day mbak, not a day that should be crying," said the fairy while cleaning all her makeup equipment.

Naura just silently did not respond to the words of the bride fairies. He did not want to answer his words because the fairy did not know the circumstances that Naura was in. He only knew that this was the day that Naura should be happy not sad.

"Is it finished?"

The bride-to-be nodded and invited Mama Naura to enter along with Damar's mother. Naura is only silent with a flat eye highlight and puffy eyes even though it has been covered by make up.

Widya stroked Naura's head covered in hijab and also bridal decoration. He was sad to see Naura who was just silent did not respond to everyone who asked him to speak. Her cheerful and also feisty daughter instantly became like a puppet.

"Son Naura, don't cry anymore, huh? Ummi apologizes for Ummi's uncivilized son's mistake. Ummi hopes you will be happy in this marriage."

Naura was silent with no expression, but in her heart she laughed at Damar's mother. Happy in this marriage? It's just bullshit. Will the marriage that occurred due to her pregnancy last long?

"I'll excuse you, Ms. Widya. It looks like the marriage contract will be implemented. Excuse me first," said Damar's mother as she stroked Naura's shoulders gently.

A bustling sound from the first floor of his house was heard all the way to his room. Naura hated this atmosphere and her current state. Everyone who attends this wedding thinks that the bride and groom are happy about this wedding. But, that's not true. Naura doesn't want this wedding.

"Ma, I don't want to marry Damar" said Naura Lirih.

For the first time Naura spoke since a week ago Naura did not say a single word. It makes Widya happy and sad. She also did not want her only daughter to get married so soon, but she could not oppose her husband's decision.

Widya hugged Naura tightly and stroked Naura's head gently.

"I'm sorry Mama, Naura. Mama neglected to take care of you until you like this," said Widya sadly.

Naura shook her head in Widya's arms. No, it's not Mama's fault. This was the fault of Naura herself as well as Damar. If they hadn't taken the Red Wine containing the stimulant, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Mama is innocent, Ma. I was wrong for being too careless" said Naura sadly.

Widya slowly kept Naura away from her embrace. Staring at her daughter who looks beautiful on this day that should be her happy day. A little smile even though he sure looks strange.

"Run your household well, Naura. You have to respect your husband. His words are heaven for you" Widya said firmly.

Naura wanted to protest, but seeing her Mama's gaze she paused her intention to protest. Naura simply chose to keep quiet and listen to the sermon of the ruler who will marry Naura and Damar today.

"In the meantime Ijab kabul ...!" shouted one of the people who entered Naura's room.

Naura immediately felt tense and her stomach cramped.

"I accept Naura Srikandi binti's marriage .. with the dowry, cash."

Naura closed her eyes in nervousness. Did Damar really say Ijab kabul? I don't know why Naura was nervous and curious. He wanted Damar to be right in saying his kabul ijab.

"Alhamdulillah, sah, Naura," said his mother relieved.

Naura opened her eyes and was shocked to hear that the word 'legitimate' had been spoken.

Now she has legitimately become Damar's wife.

***

"I marry you, Damar Prawira Yusuf bin Ridwansyah with my daughter, Naura Srikandi bint Muhammad Doni Suryopranoto with a dowry a set of prayer tools and gold weighing 3 grams paid in cash."

Damar sighed before saying a kabul sentence. He tried to focus on getting Aisha's name out of his mind. The person he was going to marry was Naura not Aisha.

"I accept Naura Srikandi bint Muhammad Doni Suryopranoto's marriage with the dowry, cash."

Damar breathed a sigh of relief when he felt he managed to say a kabul sentence with no mistakes at all.

"How are the witnesses, legitimate?" ask penghulu.

"Well ...!" All invited guests say a valid sentence, indicating if this kabul ijab event ends.

Damar suddenly felt relieved and light. Like all his burdens had been lifted. Though various problems will await him later on. He wondered why he felt so relieved.

Damar raises his hand to pray after the kabul ijab is finished. After that is to bring the bride to be juxtaposed with Damar in front of the ruler.

Damar squeezed his hands nervously. The last time he saw Naura was one week ago when he was forcibly taken to see Naura's father. They haven't seen each other since. Naura is locked up in her house, while Damar is preoccupied with taking care of the letters for her marriage.

Damar looked up when he heard the noise of the guests who were amazed. For a moment Damar was stunned to see Naura who looked graceful and beautiful. His body is wrapped in a simple white kebaya with matching color hijab and also a distinctive Sundanese headdress.

"The groom, that's his wife don't look at it. Patience dong," said penghulu tease.

The guests who heard the gentleman laughed seductively at Damar. Makes Damar a little clumsy because he was embarrassed at being seduced by invited guests who were on average their extended family.

Naura walked slowly aided by her mother. Sit side by side with Damar and just shut up without looking at him.

"Woman, let's say hello to her husband. For the husband, please give a prayer for his wife."

Naura turned to face Damar and kissed the back of Damar's hand. It makes the heart beat faster because of the touch of Naura. Damar unwittingly placed his hand on Naura's head and offered a wedding prayer.

They do so without coercion and sincerely from the bottom of their hearts. They stared at each other after the ruler told them to sign the marriage book and also pair the ring.

Damar nervously pinned the ring on Naura's ring finger. The ring that felt so fitting on the girl's tiny finger. So did Naura who put a ring on Damar's finger.

They stared at each other with different expressions amidst the invited guests who felt they were a matching couple.

***

Doni and Widya find it hard to let Naura go with Damar to stay at her in-laws' house. Not because they don't believe in besan, but they can't stay away from their children. But, both of them convinced if they could come anytime to visit Naura.

"Pak Doni and Bu Widya do not hesitate to come to our house to visit Naura."

The two of them were relieved to hear Syifa's words giving her permission to meet Naura. How lucky Naura is to have a mother-in-law as kind and gentle as Syifa. They no doubt let Naura stay with this family.

Widya hugged Naura who was just quietly hugged by her. Damar stood beside Naura with a small suitcase of Naura's clothes. Some sheets of sleepwear and also underwear.

"You should be happy, huh? Take care of your womb and do what Mama says if you feel nauseous," Widya advised.

Naura simply nodded slowly and stroked her Mama's back gently. He felt it was hard to live with Damar's parents. Seeing the look of not liking Damar's sister has proven that his sister-in-law does not like it.

Damar's parents were very nice to him. Damar's mother even apologized to tears when they first met. Likewise with Damar's father who even though only silent, but looks authoritative.

Only Damar's parents were the reason Naura wanted to stay in the house. Otherwise Naura wouldn't be willing to stay with her in-laws and sister-in-law. Moreover, Damar, Naura does not want to live at home especially in one room.

"Alright, we excuse Mr. Doni, Ms. Widya," said Ridwan politely.

Doni nodded politely and returned his greetings no less politely. Doni was calm about taking his daughter off.

Damar awkwardly grasped Naura's hand gently. Naura's hand felt right in her grasp. It was as if the hand was created for him and for him to hold.

They passed away leaving the luxurious house of the Naura family.
