HATE Before LOVE
The Wedding

This three weeks Mrs Hanna quite have other activities besides the arrival of the sultan's mistresses and spend time beautifying themselves in the salon, that is to prepare the preparation for the wedding of the only boy whose puppet will be held in two days. Although Ardan had been warning for a simple wedding and only invited close relatives, because it was the request of Elif and Zehra. But Hanna certainly has a different definition of simple. He agrees not to hold a wedding party in a luxury building that Hanna had been after to plan Ardan's wedding if it was time, and finally relents to holding it in their backyard.

"Ma, what is this list of names?" asked Ardan when he came to his parents' house. Lady Hanna was watching the decorator in the garden behind the mansion. Hanna hired a wedding organizer and the best decoration services to turn the backyard of the mansion into a completely different garden. In a few days, the backyard now looks like a beautiful fairyland forest. The swimming pool there was decorated to resemble a beautiful lake full of charm.

Ardan carried a very long list of names, it seemed like more than 600 names were written on the sheets of papers he carried.

"Oh, that's a list of the names of the invited guests Mama and Papa." replied Hanna casually.

"This much?" Ardan almost glared.

"Much?" Hanna asked back in a confused tone. "You know, Mama and Papa got confused because we couldn't invite all."

"My most beautiful mother in the universe," Ardan approached Hanna, "Mama still remembered the concept of my wedding and Elif is a simple wedding, no need to invite many guests, no need to invite many guests, enough people are close." said Ardan calmly and gently. He understood how the character of his mother, inviting guests 'little' and simple for his son's wedding that he had been waiting for was certainly not the thing he planned. But, Ardan also did not want to make Elif uncomfortable and exhausted to face endless guests if he followed the will of Madam Hanna.

Ardan remembered when he was circumcised, the show up to 2 nights three days of invited guests were endless, and now the wedding ceremony was made a simple concept of course not the thing that satisfies Mrs Hanna.

"Yes Mama remembered, so Mama and Papa only invited 667 people."

Ardan raised both his eyebrows, "667 people only?"

"Yes, a little bit, right? Can't Mama invite Mama's colleagues in Kalimantan?"

"No need, Ma. Poor Elif later. How could Elif and I be the first night when Mama's guests are endless?"

"Gosh, so that's your goal to make this show simple, you're avoiding your bride's exhaustion in order to cut her duren straight away?"

Ardan chuckles. "Please cooperate and understand, Mrs Hanna Demir." Ardan kissed Hanna's cheeks and left Hanna shaking her head with her son's behavior.

Elif decided to continue his studies after marriage, Zehra and Ardan also supported Elif's wishes, except Elif's desire to continue looking for work. Although at first Elif even Zehra still refused to accept financial assistance from Ardan, but in the end they gave up and resignedly received the rocks given by Ardan with no calculations, because Ardan was very stubborn.

For her Elif, Zehra and Adit's mother are the most important people in her life, part of the family even though Elif and herself are not officially married.

That morning, Zehra left the restaurant to her employees because they had to do fitting clothes last time before the wedding day Elif and Ardan arrived. Of course Hanna was also in. Elif's choice of dress is a simple white dress that looks beautiful, graceful and sweet. Elif is like a very sweet fairy. Even Zehra and Hanna shed tears.

"Why is Mom crying? What was? What's going on?" asked Ardan worried during the vidio call with Hanna.

"Mama was very moved to see how beautiful Mama's future daughter-in-law, how God is so good, to bring you together with Elif."

"Absolutely lacking! Why can't I see my future wife for once?" ardan was sulking. "Hearing his voice is also not allowed!"

"Can't! Pamali knows! Be patient, in two days you can have the woman of your heart's choice as a whole. Have a little more patience, Young Master!" Omel Hana's.

Ardan snorted resignedly. "Is that as beautiful as my future wife, Ma?"

"Very! Like an angel."

Ardan smiled imagining how he would be fascinated later.

"Remember, you have to really make her happy, don't you ever betray her once in a while, hurt her feelings, what else to be rude to her. Mama won't forgive you until there's an actor among you!"

"Geez, why did you think about all the actors?" Ardan chuckled instead of feeling scared by Hanna's nagging.

"Of course, Mama knows Mama's child is not the type who is easily fascinated by beautiful women, but sometimes actors have a trillion ways to get the target. If until you're negligent and incited, Mama won't make you my son again, all the inheritance will fall on my daughter-in-law and grandchildren."

"Why is it so scary this Mama's threat." Ardan is still chuckling. "How can I incite seduction from another woman if one woman always makes me fall in love so many times, Ma."

"Hey, since when have you been such a lame?"

"Geez, the future-in-law and the future son-in-law are just as it turns out."

Elif could not sleep at all, however he tried to close his eyes, but he did not really fall asleep. He was nervous, scared, anxious. And one more feeling that has been very peaking, she so missed her future husband. One week on the dime, should not meet even though only through vidio calls, nor should I call, because Mrs Hanna believes it is pamali. if the bride and groom are still meeting each other and communicating ahead of the sacred wedding day, it is feared that bad things will happen, whether in the wedding, either to one of the bride and groom, either, I don't know also in his married life later.

Elif and Ardan do not really believe in such things, but in honor of the custom held by Hanna since long ago hereditary in his family, Elif and Ardan also according to, for the sake of his good will as well.

He misses the masculine Ardan, misses the man's chin overgrown with fine hair, misses his warm gaze, misses his laugh, misses his touch, even each time remembering how the sensation he felt when Ardan actually kissed him so gently made him yearn even more.

But imagining himself and a man he once hated so much now in just a matter of a few hours will build a life, live a household ark, enter another phase in his life, starting a real life, with all their differences, with all the household problems that must always be in every household, makes him feel nervous and anxious.

Can she be a good wife to her husband? Can she be a coolie for her husband? Can he give them offspring? Can she be a good mother to her children?

All those thoughts had always made him feel scared, nervous and anxious these few days. And now, he really can't sleep. Elif flicked his thin blanket, came out of his room and found Adit hanging out in front of the refrigerator while eating small bread.

"What are you doing?" elif asked, which turned out that Elif's presence was not realized by Adit, finally made the teenager choke.

"Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk!"

Elif immediately patted Adit on the back and gave him a drink when his cough subsided.

"Sister, why is it so shocking!" For him.

"You're the only one who's too serious about eating to hang out like that." Tukas Elif while spending the rest of Adit drinking in a glass. "Why haven't you slept?" ask Elif later.

"I'm hungry." replied Adit, shutting down the fridge. "Self why not sleep? I want to be a bride in the morning." Tempting Adit, he pulled up the dining chair and sat across from Elif.

"I can't sleep."

"Why is that?"

"I feel nervous and anxious and also afraid."

"At what?"

"many things. You know, marriage isn't something that's simple."

Adit shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, I'm still in school, I've never had a taste of marriage dong."

Elif chuckled, "Right as well."

"Oiya Kak, I want to tell you the same story Brother, actually it's been a long time, but just remember again."

"What story?" Elif took the bread that Adit had brought.

"I've seen Brother Teddy and Kak Yura walk together in the mall."

Elif widens eyes, "Teddy? And Yura?"

Adit nodded while still moving his mouth chewing.

"No way! You may have seen it wrong. Okay if you see Yura walking with a guy at the mall, but Teddy? That's right!"

"Seriously, Brother! Wait, I got a picture of them, I'll take a tape first." Adit immediately darted away to his room to take his phone not until one minute the boy came back and showed a candid photo he did.

Elif's eyes widened as he enlarged the phone screen and clearly seen the man who was touching the cheek of his best friend while smiling is Teddy. The expressionless human Elif knew.

Suddenly Elif immediately laughed and immediately he closed his mouth because he realized his laughter was too loose in the early hours like that.

"Well, that's Bang Teddy?"

"A hundred percent!" elif answered in the remnants of his laughter, once again he saw the photo. "I asked for this photo. I want to show Ardan later, does he know that his super-rigid assistant turned out to be on his way with Yura."
