Wedding Day


The day I was waiting for finally arrived. Two days before D, our house was already crowded visited by brothers from afar. Yes, they stayed at our house.


Neighbors who join the fragrances are also on the arrival to help prepare the preparation of street food, such as wrapping tissues and toothpicks, frying crackers, concocting spices and so on.


While Brother Mea, a smile seems not to want to go from his lips. He looked very happy, happier than the previous days. Our cousins continued to tease him while carving inscriptions on his feet and hands.


"Sister, lucky Brother is yes Kak, can interfere with Brother. Brother is beautiful, well, that brother is less handsome." said Liya one of our cousins.


"It's okay to be less handsome, which is important no less well, hehe." replied Kak Mea with a grinning smile.


"Yes, Brother. The important thing is that you are good, responsible, love your family." continued our cousin Riri as well.


"That bill. Just pray that's okay for both of us." asked Kak Mea.


"Yes, brother." they answered simultaneously.


I just sat quietly next to Brother Mea, watching the two of them carve this while listening to everything they were talking about.


Why, I'm still not sure that Bang Rafli is as good as Kak Mea thinks. Whether this is Su'udzon or a bad premonition, let time be answered.


Today it has been installed in front of our house, a very beautiful pelaminan is also ready. "Oh, O Allah, what a beautiful guarantee. If only Aura had the courage to sit there alone with the Man who would be Aura's soul mate." I said in my heart.


I am sure that God's best mate will come one day, when I am truly ready to marry, stretching out the wide path to a lawful relationship. Wading through the happy household ark with the right person.


Tomorrow morning at 10 pm Mea will hold a Marriage Certificate. Tonight he went to bed early so that when he woke up, Kak Mea felt refreshed.

Early in the morning the bride-to-be had come to put on Kak Mea's makeup, she dressed it up as beautifully as possible on this happy and historic day.


"Ma shay Allah. Beautiful Brother." I said to Sister Mea.


"Yes donk, who used to make-up" said Kak Lala perias bride.


"Yes, but the beauty of Kak Mea is not only a make-up factor, the person factor is also it. Hehe." I said with a cry.


"Aura doesn't want any make-up. Any idea later there will be a smitten with Aura, can be quickly followed Mea married."


"Thank you for Brother's offer, but Aura never made-up, afraid it would be strange face. The aura is natural."


"Aura does not need make-up is also a lot of fanciers, she's the only one who does not want to open the heart" said Kak Mea.


"The name is also a business, so that later you can get another job here. Haha." said Lala with a laugh.


"Oh, that's the reason" said Mr. Mea.


"Yes, there's nothing wrong? Also called effort. Haha." said Lala.


"Hahahahhh." I only reply with laughter.


After Mea finished her make-up and put on her white kebaya shirt, I led her to Ijab Qobul. There were Fathers, witnesses and Ustadz.


I follow all the stages by stages, itung-itung adds to the knowledge. If it's my turn, I know and I'm not too nervous.


Brother Mea looks very awkward and shy when sitting next to Bang Rafli. Maybe because rarely met make Kak Mea not used to be on the side of Bang Rafli.


Then I accompanied Mom to sit at the guest table. Welcome everyone who comes and let them go in and get food.


I looked at Mother's face, looking very tired but still able to get along with all the invited guests.


"Mom, have you had lunch, Mom?" my many.


"Not yet, in a moment I'm eating, there are still guests coming. I'm reluctant if I'm not welcome."


"Yes yes, quite a lot of guests who meet our invitation yes, ma'am. Then Brother get me some rice Mother yes, Mother is here while eating."


"Yes, maybe too. You also eat yes, Nduk." asked Mother.


"Well, Mom." I said. Then I got out of my seat and headed straight for the table.


I take one by one food that I think is very tasty. But not too much, afraid of redundancy if not exhausted. After taking two portions of food, I went back to Mom's place.


"This, Ma. It's good to eat it." I said as I sat down next to Mom.


"Thank you, son. A lot of this too."


"Mostly yes, Mom?"


"It's okay. In the Lord, I can spend it. Mother hasn't had breakfast yet."


"Well, why don't you have breakfast?"


"Not hunted."


"Don't do it, Mom. If you don't eat, then you'll finish the party."


"In God's Word, Mother is strong. Oh yeah, where's your dad?"


"Have come home from now, Mom. My sisters did not come here either." I replied.


"Why is that? It's her son's wedding day."


"Where does Brother know, Mom. Let it go, Mom."


Then we just kept quiet and focused on each other's food. I don't know what's on Dad's mind either. If Ibuk doesn't want to come here I'm not a problem, but why don't you feel at home? And here also many brothers from the Father. Grandma, Bi Yana and five of my other siblings were also here, even last night Grandma and Bi Yana were staying at our house.


I have forgiven Grandma and Bi Yana. They have changed and been very good to us.


I saw Kak Mea had changed her clothes several times and photos in the guarantee with her husband, her halal partner.


Mom and I take pictures with them. So do our cousins and brothers. This picture will be a beautiful memory.


It did not feel like the clock had shown at 10 pm, my sleepiness had come. Tired today, even if I don't help much.


I went to Mom and told her I was sleepy and tired. Then Mom told me to go inside and sleep. Somewhat reticent, but want how else, if I continue to force I fear Asmaku will relapse because it is too tired.


When I arrived in my room, I changed my clothes. Then go to the bathroom to take ablution' before going to bed.


There was still the sound of music outside, "Maybe it's still in order." I said in my heart. Not waiting long, as soon as my body lay in bed I continued to fall asleep.
