Healing
108. Wedding Feast

Papa repeated once again, "Steve Prayoga Setyawan, I marry and marry you to my daughter Diva Soraya Saputri with a gold dowry weighing 500 grams, the house and its contents, with a gold dowry, and cash of 500 million rupiah paid in cash".

" I accepted the marriage and marriage of Diva Soraya Saputri bint Tono to myself, with the dowry paid in cash".

" How about the witness?", asked the penghulu to the two witnesses sitting next to papa.

" Legitimately ".

" Alhamdulillah hirobbil'alamiin.

I could see my mother shed tears from both of her eyelids. Either she was crying happily, or crying out of sadness. Because my mother was so passionate about telling me to accept this marriage.

The many dowries that Yoga gave me made me a lucky woman for having so many wedding dowries. Even I could see Rita and Hani whispering to each other with amazed expressions after hearing what dowry I got.

Unlike my mother, papa is currently flat expression, papa is not crying or smiling, I can tell if Papa is not too fond of Yoga, but I can tell, not to mention because papa still feels guilty to me for the sacrifice I made because of his mistake, so that makes me inevitably have to marry Yoga for his freedom.

Moreover, the dowry so much from Yoga, making papa feel like he has sold me.

" Can we show you in front of the wedding book?, we'll take a picture first" the photographer told me and Yoga.

We both complied and showed our marriage book to the camera. A few times the photographer took our picture.

The qobul is done, pak pengulu said goodbye to us, because there are still many other couples who must be married today as well. I can see Haidar giving a thick envelope to the ruler as a thank you for making our marriage easier.

Our wedding book was straight away. It turns out that if there is real money anything can be processed easily and quickly. Look at my wedding today the proof, just overnight, everything went straight to the finish, no need to register, wait in line, complete the file and immunization.

But at least I've experienced that process when I was about to marry Bian, although now it's different and everything is easier.

Guests invited there immediately congratulate me and Yoga, there are also those who choose to enjoy the food that has been provided. Yoga can really make a wedding party overnight, like in a fairyland.

Haidar, Riko, Bian and Utari stood up and approached the two of us to take a picture together. Before that Haidar and Riko congratulated us first. Utari just congratulated. It felt really awkward because we exchanged a couple.

This is the first time I came back face to face with Utari and Bian, Utari still looks cheerful, I also congratulate them for their marriage.

" You have no news, so you can't attend our wedding" Utari said. I know very well that Utari would not have seriously invited me to her wedding with Bian if I had stayed here.

Bian looked at me fixedly, still with the same gaze, we all felt awkward for not knowing what to say.

Yoga knows that Bian's gaze still holds a deep love for me. Moreover, Riko, she who since I left was always beside Bian to strengthen her heart.

I remember Bian coming to the station just before the train I was riding. I can see Riko coming there too. Riko helps Bian to get back on his feet after Bian falls and falls on the floor of the station.

Bian didn't keep his promise, until I got back here, Bian never came to our contract. I had hoped for him several times to come to the contract like he promised me.

But for a year since I left, Bian never came once. Maybe he never even tried to find where I was. And I already knew the reason, it turned out that she was married to Utari. Six months ago, wow, such a short time after the failure of our marriage.

" Congratulations to your marriage with Utari", because Bian remained silent, I congratulated him first with a smile. I purposely took the hand of Yoga just to show that I now belong to Yoga. And try to show a happy expression.

Bian nodded then embraced Utari in front of us, maybe he was also trying to show that he was now happy. Definitely ....

Utari must be a very good wife to Bian, Bian can channel his wishes to Utari his rightful wife. I feel grateful because even though I had almost had sex with Bian, all of that never happened, even though I had seen all parts of Bian's body without exception. But we didn't do unification, as his future wife I just tried to give him satisfaction when he wanted it first, without having to unite.

" Already come on baby, I said I want to check with the obstetrician, meet again in the hospital" Utari said with a powerful voice.

To the obstetrician?, maybe Utari is pregnant young, so they will go to the obstetrician. Why did Utari check in this hospital?, this is not the hospital where Utari works, maybe because this is the best hospital in the area here, therefore Utari asked to be checked here.

" You enjoy the dishes that we have prepared first, you can just leave this event. About it, the obstetrician is still open practice, only half eleven" said Yoga holding Bian and Utari who will leave.

Utari was smiling because Yoga forbade her to leave, but she apologized for not being able to stay long and left.

I understand Utari's attitude, even their arrival has become something very surprising.

Haidar and Riko choose to enjoy the dish when Bian and Utari choose to go to the obstetrician clinic. Yoga and I went to see Ms. Ara who also stood up to go home.

" I'm sorry that I've been chatting with friends since, so I can't talk to my mom for long" I said when Ms. Ara said goodbye.

" It's okay, I congratulate you on your marriage, may be a family that is happy, happy and soon given a baby. I'm so happy that you two are finally together".

Ms. Ara hugged me while patting my back. " Thank you very much, Midwife".

I still call her Midwife, even though she has retired as a midwife because she is old.

At 1 pm all the invited guests have gone home, as well as all my family members, because papa has been allowed to go home, Juna and Shaka are taking the drop. Now the room is quiet, the decoration is still not done. Yoga and I changed into regular clothes. We went back to the room where Yoga was taken care of.

Tonight Haidar did not sleep in the hospital, because last night he did not sleep to take care of my wedding preparations and Yoga. And tonight Haidar wants to rest at his house.

" Because I'm married, so tonight I'm gonna give you some alone time. Take it easy Ra, even though one hand of Yoga is still bandaged, I believe Yoga can still satisfy your inner birth" said Haidar while chuckling deliberately teasing me.

I just shook my head to hear his words. Who would want to be satisfied?, I want to sleep well tonight, just like the night before, sleep well until morning.

Yoga can do anything on its own, because the injured left hand, so to the bathroom, eating and other activities can do it yourself. Not too much trouble.

" As I said before, tomorrow I will return to the city. You still remember our previous speaker?", asked Yoga when we were both staring at the roof ceiling while lying on each other's beds.

" Yes I remember, very much remember, then do what you want to do, before I was also taken care of by others, not by my wife, so I am not sad or disappointed", he said", say Yoga.

He was deliberately insinuating, I know that, but I don't want to get caught up in what he said, we had a deal in the first place.

" I want to sleep, because tomorrow morning I stop by the house of mama and papa first, Juna is also there" I said.

Yoga nodded, "of course, you have to go to your parents' house to say goodbye before leaving again for the city".

I felt like yoga was acting strangely, she just kept agreeing and agreeing with what I said without protesting.

I close my eyes trying to sleep. Five minutes, ten minutes, thirty minutes had passed, but I did not feel sleepy. Keep my eyes closed trying to sleep.

I could listen to Yoga rising from her bed, I was instantly alert, and alert, if Yoga suddenly touched me. I closed my eyes as if I were sleeping.

But it turns out Yoga went to the bathroom, my mind was overboard, I thought Yoga would come up to me and touch me because we were married. I had planned to reject her and say if my stomach hurt as an excuse for her to do nothing. Yoga did not come near me at all. I was ashamed of my own thoughts.
