Loving Saleha's Bodyguard
Sacred Bond

Two days earlier, Raina had done fitting clothes and reception will be held at 8 pm.

Raina wears a white shirt with a long dangling floor with a matching colored hijab. Raina selfies with a simple thin makeup because of her beauty that has amazed every eye that looks at her.

An hour after the series of bridal preparations, the marriage contract took place in the orphanage. Only the nuclear family is invited to witness the agreement. Sawn made his commitment firmly, confirming his sacred promise before God and the witnesses to guard and guide Raina to heaven.

The night of the wedding reception takes place in the hotel ballroom where Sawn first expresses his love for Raina. About 2,000 guests attended the wedding.

Sawn was wearing golden yellow clothes. While Raina, she also wears a dress in matching color with that of Sawn Praja Dinata, a small crown clinging to her head.

Sawn entered the wedding reception venue with a timid smile that adorned his handsome face. Raina walked gracefully full of confidence beside sawn.

Two blissful human children sit in green, gold-plated chairs waiting for guests to congratulate them.

"Allah Akbar... Beautiful wife. By Allah..." Tempta Sawn who was now looking at Raina intently. Sawn stared every inch at the beauty of his newly married wife for no more than five hours.

While Raina, she smiled shyly at the brief whisper of Sawn in her ear, slowly Raina pointed her wiggly finger and pinched Sawn's waist slowly.

"I didn't know my wife was so naughty." Whisper Sawn again while holding Raina's hand. The guest who saw the happiness of two happy human children still shyly expressed his love, smiling from their seat.

From a distance not too far from her seat, Raina could see her mother's sad face. Sadness is wrapped in happiness that cannot be measured by anything that exists.

Ma'am... Raina is married! Ma'am... Now you don't have to worry about me anymore! Ma'am... My husband loves me so much and I love him too! Ma'am... Pray for Raina to be happy! Ma'am... I might be sad away from you all. I promise I will always try to stay happy. Raina said in her heart while looking at Rahayu's mother who continued to shed tears, and repeatedly also erased with the back of her hand.

...***...

Sawn and Raina throw their bodies on the bed, the tiredness that plagues their bodies leaving Raina speechless. They were in the bridal room, a very spacious room measuring 80 m². Raina was still wearing the wedding dress she wore at the reception. The little crown he had taken off and put it on a pillow.

Raina lay down while tightly grasping her husband's hand.

Husband?

Raina smiled without revealing her white teeth. With his eyes closed, he began to imagine every thing he passed to the halal, everything felt like a beautiful drama. Drama that is sometimes colored with sadness, feelings of longing, and love that erupted but he could not channel.

"Walena..." Call Sawn softly as soon as he sees the face of the smiling ayu by his side.

"Hmmm...."

"What's the answer?" Said Sawn softly as he tightened his hand grip on Raina's stained fingers.

"What's my husband?"

"Home! Why husband?" Sawn sat down beside Raina who was still lying next to him.

"You're not a husband then what? Do you want me to call someone else with a husband's call, too?" Tempted Raina while trying not to smile.

"Not that time either."

"Then what do you want?" Raina got up from her supine position and sat right in front of Sawn. Making Sawn's chest beat faster than usual.

Glekk!

Sawn swallowed his saliva.

Why does my chest always flutter when it's nearby? Do I love her so much that I feel like I will be without her? I want to kiss her forehead! Ahhe... No. gabe... No. gabe. He'll be mad, I can't do anything without his permission. Sawn said in his heart. He still looked in amazement at the woman who was now his wife.

"You're thinking of kissing me, aren't you?" Raina looked at Sawn while narrowing her big eyes.

Not a word was spoken from Sawn's lips, he could only shake his head. He was quite surprised by the thin kiss that landed on his right cheek.

"I'm going to change clothes. Now, you have to go to the bathroom." Raina orders while waking up and then standing on the floor.

"Are you playing me? You just landed a kiss on my face, now you're asking me to go to the bathroom because you want to change clothes? At least show me your hair?" Pinta Sawn with a face that he deliberately made to look jutek.

"No, I'm ashamed."

"Shame on who?" Sawn asked because he was really curious.

"Then the genie in this room." Raina replied with a smile. She wanted to tease her husband at a point where he would get bored.

"Let's wake up! You should go to the bathroom, I'll change!" Raina said again, this time her big eyes bulged. Sawn was forced to pull his legs and walk to the madi room which was five meters from the bed he was sitting in.

Raina stared at Sawn's body, which continued to walk until the man entered the bathroom and the door closed perfectly.

"You gotta take a shower, baby! I don't want to hug a smelly body." Raina said with a smile. He was completely satisfied that he was able to tease Sawn on their first night.

While Sawn was smiling happily behind the tightly closed door, slowly stroking his right cheek, he could still feel the warmth when Raina landed her small kiss

...***...

Five minutes had passed since Sawn was in the bathroom, now the handsome man came out while drying his hair with a towel. Raina was fascinated by her husband's good looks, he stripped every inch of his beautiful face, his big nose, thin lips with a natural pink color. Handsome face like a prince in a fairy tale, smooth skin like a baby, tall body like a model. Everything looks perfect in Raina's view.

Fa bi' ayyi ala'i rabbikuma tukazziban

Which favor of your Lord do you deny. (Ar-Rahman:13)

Without Raina realizing she began to shed tears, sometimes people forget the favors God gave her. Once tested for faith, the fragile faith seemed to blame God for the bad events that happened in his short life, they did not realize in every happiness there was also sadness in it. And now Raina felt as if she had been slapped by the word of God that had been memorized outside her head.

"Do you regret marrying me?" Sawn asked as he threw the towel he was using to dry his hair into the mattress then walked up to Raina who was standing next to the closet.

"No." Raina replied briefly while trying to smile.

"Why is my beautiful wife crying?" Sawn asked as he cupped his hands together on Raina Salsadila's face.

"I'm happy! So happy that these tears can't be compromised not to drip."

"Will all women cry when they are happy?" Sawn took Raina into his arms, patting her on the shoulder of his beloved wife.

"Maybe." Reply Raina while releasing Sawn's embrace from her body.

"Aren't you going to show me your hair? I want to see it?"

"No."

"no? Whynot? I was also curious, I wanted to see my wife's hair, whether it was long or short. Or just curly!"

"I'm gonna take a shower." Reply Raina regardless of Sawn's words, she walked towards the madi room with a smile that still puffed up on her father's face. While Sawn, he lay back on the bed while playing the phone with his wiggly finger.
