After going through a series of marriage contract processions and wedding receptions, the sacred event was over. The invited guests present had returned to their homes.
In the ballroom Mandarin Hotel only remaining newlywed couples who are happy because they have just released their singles. There is a famous lawyer Rio-si who helps Arumi to escape the torture trap of the ex-husband and in-law of the woman, Nyimas-a middle-aged woman who is averse with a hijab that always covers the aurat, Firdaus and his wife Sirinya-Lena were sitting on a chair while chatting together.
While Rini, mama Rio and the twins went home first. Seeing the annoying face of his stepbrother, Raihan came home an hour before the event ended followed by the return of a girl who was heartbroken due to her royal man standing with another woman.
Rayyan glanced at the circular watch on the wrist. The time has shown it almost eleven o'clock in the evening. "Babe, you're taking a break now?" ask the man to his wife.
Arumi, who was tired from standing for too long wearing high heels, immediately nodded her head, responding to the question of her beloved husband.
"May, if you don't mind. My body feels very tired and wants to rest immediately," said Arumi expressed her heart to her beloved husband.
To be honest, Rayyan felt the same way as his wife. Since last night he could not sleep well due to overthinking today, worried about whether later the wedding ceremony and wedding reception will run smoothly while a few days ago he had accompanied Arumi to give an invitation letter to his former in-laws. Fortunately Naila and Putra were not present in the historic moment of the two human beings. Had they only come, Rayyan did not know what to do if Arumi's former in-laws came just to mess up the event.
Noticing her husband's unfocused eyes, Arumi waved her hand forward. "Ray, are you okay?"
The oriental-faced man blinked his eyes slowly, gathering his consciousness that had once floated into the air.
"Sure! I'm doing fine. Yes, let's go to the room! There's a last rite I have to do with you tonight." The lightness of Rayyan's eyes gave to his beloved wife.
Arumi's face flushed. What kind of ambiguous words did her husband say. It really made the woman's mind wander everywhere.
The couple got off the lawn. Still dressed in a wedding dress and a black tuxedo clad in white suits, the two stepped closer to the round table that was in the front row.
"We say goodbye to Mom and your parents. It's not good to just pass by" whispered Arumi in Rayyan's ear.
Suddenly, Rayyan squinted at the wife. I don't understand what his wife's mind is. The woman knew that her relationship with Firdaus and Lena did not get along, but why did Arumi ask for her part when she left the ballroom? Allowing a pair of traitors to be present in a sacred moment of himself Rayyan held all out emotions in himself especially if you have to say goodbye to them.
"Curtain! I'm not talking to those traitors!" Unknowingly the words just slid off the mark realized by Rayyan.
Arumi looked at her husband and said, "Fine. If you don't want to, at least don't let me be a disrespectful daughter-in-law to my in-laws. After all, right now my status is that of Doctor Firdaus' son-in-law and Aunt Lena." The woman resigned, did not want to clash with her husband.
"Up to you!" Rayyan turned her gaze in the other direction, because if not then the duren divisional ritual that had been planned by her would end up in vain.
"Doctor Firdaus, Aunt Lena," said Arumi politely. A warm smile did not forget he gave it to his in-laws who were sitting there.
"Thank you I said because you're all still loyal to be in this place until the event is over" he continued.
Lena returned Arumi's smile. Stretched his hands forward, then rubbed his daughter-in-law's shoulders gently. "Don't hesitate. This is our job as parents. Attend your historic moments that will happen once in a lifetime."
"Well, is it, Jeng Nyimas?" lena asked as she turned towards the white-colored broken hooded beautiful woman matching the dress worn by the bride.
Nyimas replied to Lena with a smile. The smile grew even more when he saw how Lena behaved towards Arumi. Sincere attitude without bad intentions is reflected in the interaction between his son and the wife of the series Firdaus.
Throughout the event, Nyimas was worried about how Lena's attitude towards Arumi later. While he knew if it turned out that his besi was a friend of the socialite gang Naila who was none other than the former woman in hijab. Nyimas is worried that Lena will treat Arumi just like Naila used to. Moreover, he knew the relationship between Rayyan and her stepmother never got along at all.
However, seeing the friendly attitude of Lena towards Arumi, made Nyimas sure that the iron is a good person and can accept the beloved child in the family of Wijaya Kusuma.
"You two want to go back to the room?" ask Firdaus who is standing by Lena's side. The middle-aged man watched his son-in-law and the son in turn. A ray of happiness emanated from the brown bead of the two.
"certain. I want to take my wife to my room. It's been too long since he's exchanged airs with two traitors like you" Rayyan said.
Suddenly, the man's words made Arumi draw a sharp gaze towards her husband. The beautiful eyeballs turned back, as if saying that he did not like the attitude shown to Firdaus and Lena.
Rio, who had been trembling, finally intervened. Trying to melt the atmosphere so as not to be too tense.
Embrace Rayyan's shoulder while whispering, "Come here, Bro! I'm going to share some tips for your bed that's cold like the North Pole to be hot like a gas stove." Then, Rio brought Rayyan away from the crowd.
Now Arumi can sigh in relief, because the tension created by a few moments has melted back. Inwardly he said a lot of gratitude still because Rio can help him out of a complicated situation.
Lena cleared her throat to melt the atmosphere. "You must be very tired after a day of being Queen on the historic day of your life. Go see Rayyan, don't make your husband wait too long."
"What your mother-in-law said is absolutely right, Rumi. Follow up Rayyan's son!"
Despite feeling bad for her husband's words just now, Arumi forced to smile in front of her mother and in-laws.
"Yes, then excuse me. Again, I say a lot of thanks to Mama Lena and-"
"Papa. Call me Papa, because from today on, your status is my son-in-law."
The woman in the broken white dress nodded and smiled. Then, Arumi began to hug the two middle-aged women in turn.
"Titip Rayyan yes, Rumi. Please love and love the bad boy with all your heart. Although his attitude is a little harsh, but has a good heart and is very loving. Mama is sure, you can take good care of her" whispered Lena when the woman hugged Arumi.
"I must have loved Rayyan with all my soul and body, Ma. I promise I'll take good care of your son."
Now it is Arumi's turn to embrace the body of the angel-hearted woman who once cared for him until he grew up to be a great and well-educated woman.
"Ma ...." Arumi was unable to speak. Only tears flowing down his cheeks.
Nyimas tightly embraced the body of his beloved son. Swiping Arumi's back gently.
"Take time with your husband, son. Serve him as well as possible. Never be disobedient to your husband, for your paradise is now at his feet" Nyimas said. Although she knows that Arumi must have taken good care of Rayyan, she still gives her last words before releasing her new life.
"certain. I will definitely be devoted to my husband, Ma. Pray for me, may my household this time last without a third person."
Still in a hugging position, Nyimas replied. "Based on a bad girl! You forgot your husband's strange illness, huh? Rayyan couldn't possibly have another woman because she's just being tame to you."
The hug unraveled. Nyimas reached out to wipe the child's tears. "But even so, Mama still pray that your relationship will last forever."
Arumi stepped forward and stood before Firdaus. The figure of a firm man that he respected so much.
"Papa cannot give you any precious treasure other than the family inheritance ring that my wife has given you. With this ring, you have become part of the Wijaya Kusuma family."
Then, the man's hand reached into the pocket of the suit he was wearing. Issuing two plane tickets and lodging vouchers for honeymooners.
"Your leave time, Papa increased to two weeks. Take that opportunity for your honeymoon. However, remember. Do not feel burdened to immediately give a grandchild to us. Your father and mother-in-law did not force you to give us grandchildren at all. As long as you're happy, that's more than enough."
Arumi was stunned for a moment. Didn't think Firdaus would say that. All of the middle-aged man's sentences gave a deep serenity to Arumi's soul. He felt the heaviest burden of his life had been lifted.
