Time goes by taking me and Arka to the wedding. All preparations are rawe-rawe rantas malang putung done by the mother and family. The thing I faced during the wedding preparations was more on the mental side. Without a father by my side and that's a damning fact. Can I face this world? Am I going to make it? This marriage is my father's wish
Tomorrow is my wedding day after two weeks. Tonight I sleep at twelve even though my mother has asked me to go to bed early so that tomorrow morning I can look fit and fresh. But my eyes are not closed yet. Almost twelve o'clock in the evening, I began to lie down in a decorated room and sleep with my mother. Not long asleep at one in the morning I woke up again, I think I've slept long enough when it was only an hour. Anxiety enveloped my heart, not that I was unsure, nor did I doubt it, but that I wished for smoothness for tomorrow. Then I went back to sleep until dawn, I took a shower and prepared to be decorated as a bride. Arka came along with his large family group and then walked marching to my house with a set of dowry and beautiful decorations with the box while I was still in the room with Rayi and the fairy.
At the wedding, my heart was split, completely split in two. The first heart is the wound of grief. The second heart is joy. I shed tears. Perhaps tears that have a sweet and bitter taste at once. Past memories about the father are like slide shows that continue to change. The memories of my father fondled me as a child, he turned off the middle room lights to drive away the high school boy who played home, until his busy life prepared everything when I had to go to college. However, she was not at the wedding of her only daughter. A moment of envy arises in those who can be attended by two parents in marriage.
I immediately closed my eyes, preventing all bad thoughts from coming. My father's absence from my marriage because he died was a sharp empty space. This marriage is the father's wish, marriage means to be an independent family. I know, if you were alive there would be a lot of petatah and petitih for me. I fell into my own wedding crowd. I can only pray for you to have the best place for him there.
Suddenly, among the crowd of the wedding party there was a very subtle whisper of burrowing in the heart. “You must step steadily without hesitation. You must use the knowledge and soul that you have inherited to pursue the future." I felt the presence of my father near me. I don't know, I feel happy, relieved and optimistic. I raised my head, looking at the guests present with a smile. Like the way my father smiled at me.
...****************...
The night was over and all the guests were home. There were only a few young men cleaning chairs and tables and mothers who were still busy tidying up the kitchen. I was so tired, my eyes started to feel sleepy and my body started to feel sultry and sticky. I decided to take a shower to make my body feel fresher.
"Case, where are you going?" ask Arka
"Mandi," I replied briefly.
"Yes, I went home first yes, want to take a shower also continue to sleep," said Arka then get ready to leave.
"Bone piye to le ?" ask Pakde Marto
"Yes, sir, the event is over" replied Arka in a relaxed tone as usual.
"Bojomu piye? " said Pakde Marto.
"Oh yes, forgot! I have a wife now" said Arka, scratching her head and making everyone laugh.
"Then, I go home to take a shower and change my clothes" said Arka, he must be trying to get out of here.
"No, le. Yesterday your clothes were sent here, brought with you Rinto. I've put it in the closet in your room" she said with a laugh.
Whahuh? Your room? As I realized that I now have a husband and that means tonight I have to sleep with Arka. Sharing a bed with her and we will. .. ah, just imagine that I can't. I then rushed to take a shower to escape from Arka and the jokes of those who teased us. After the bath, wrapped in a kimono towel, I casually walked into the room.
"What's up, Kas?" asked the mother who ran to my room and spontaneously Arka sat down with a panicked face
"There is an Arka there" I said, pointing to Arka.
"Where do you want to go? neng the wedhus cage?" said mother while shaking her head.
"No, Arka is not a goat. But Kasih wants to change clothes," I said whining like a child.
"Replace yo stay replace.not to be ashamed. Wong you'll be open soon, too" said the mother, who made me feel even crazier. "Oh yes, you are the same husband should respect. Call him Mas Arka, don't just call me by name." said mother then closed the door and left.
What should I do to get rid of Arka so that I can change clothes comfortably. Geez, why is everything so ridiculous? Arka then put her phone on the nightstand. He walked up to me, so close I slowly stepped back, until I stopped. Why is it always this way I'm stuck because of the wall behind me.
"Are you scared?" ledek Arka while laughing restrained.
Arka then went out, I immediately closed the door and rushed to change clothes. At first I was wearing a negligee, but my mind was not calm I ended up changing again in pajamas with pants and long sleeves. As soon as I finished, Arka was already standing at the door wearing only a towel wrapped around her waist. It turned out that Arka had taken a bath, instantly it felt like I was helpless like anemic when Arka closed the door.
Without further ado Arka simply took off her towel and swiftly I immediately closed both my eyes with my hands. Arka even laughed after successfully pranking me. Turns out Arka still wears boxer pants.
"Can you Ka, you stop my jahilin?" I started off with Arka's behavior.
"Yes, then I ask for help" said Arka.
"What?" my many.
"Ambilin water yes, one big bottle, one liter yes," said Arka.
I then headed to the kitchen, following Arka's request. And when I got back, Arka was already asleep on the bed? Then where should I sleep? My mattress is 120x200. It's actually enough for two people but it has to be crowded. Do I have to sleep crammed with Arka? Yesterday night I had a hard time sleeping, tonight I have to go through the same problem.
I put the water on the nightstand and I sat in the chair and I couldn't stand my sleepiness until I fell asleep.
