“I accept her marriage and her marriage Seanna Filia bint Septian with her mascarine, cash.”
“How are the witnesses?” ask penghulu. “Sah?”
“Well,” two witnesses from both sides of the bride.
“Alhamdulillah, Sah.” Penghulu's speech eventually invited the cheers of the invited guests who were mostly in uniform nurses and doctors from the hospital where the groom worked.
Such beautiful strands of wedding prayers pamper the ears of anyone who hears them, reconcile the hearts of anyone who is in turmoil, a prayer thread containing the request of Ridha from Divine Robbi on the sacred promise of marriage that has just been vowed.
Noah Myles's sacred promise to marry a woman named Seanna Filia became his wife.
Taking over all of Seanna's sins that should be the responsibility of the father, will now be his responsibility.
Not only that, Noah has now promised to give a living, guide the religion, pamper the woman who has become his wife, take care of the woman both in the world and in the hereafter, and a promise to be the ultimate protector to Seanna, his wife.
Now all those promises have become a task on his shoulders. Unfortunately the promise that should be holy without coercion, was promised Noah reluctantly and forced.
It was certainly realized by both Noah's parents and also the bride, to shed tears soaked Sea's cheeks that had been polished with makeup and added to her beauty many times.
Sea's cry broke, sounding stirring the hearts of many invited guests made haru when the moments of the woman was silent on her two in-laws.
Everyone knows who Seanna is, the poor girl who lost her parents when she was 17. The only daughter of the late Septian and Almarhumah Namira, the sole heir of Seas Industries.
Three years ago this girl was picked up by Noah's parents who were friends and confidants of late Seanna's parents. The girl with a heavy heart had to leave the most comfortable place in her life, namely her residence on the coast of the island of B. Leaving Mbok Sum, his caretaker since childhood who had to live there to care for the residence he left.
All because of the mandate of his parents who asked Seanna to become the leader of Seas Industries.
But behind all the haru atmosphere created, no one knows if the cry that is currently drifting from the Sea's eyes is a cry of sadness.
Not the happy cries the guests thought. Nor is it the cry of haru like the other brides feel.
His mind kept on recalling what happened three days ago. As Sea knew Noah, that night for the first time he saw the man refute his parents' speech.
“I won't marry that murderous woman!” as said.
Noah's index finger pointed right at Sea's face at that time.
“Who do you call Mas's killer? Me?” reply Sea at that time.
“I never felt like a killer like you accused Mas, so I will never back out of our marriage.”
Both beads of Noah's eyes stared intently at Sea at that moment. But the woman tried to strengthen herself. Sea seemed undaunted by the pressure Noah exerted. Not because he was stubborn, but if he retreated it meant that he admitted everything Noah accused him of.
All these thoughts were what made Sea's tears continue to flow endlessly as the moment of silence arrived.
“Mami, forgive Sea if it has not been able to meet the expectations of Mami,” He said to Joanna, Noah's mother who is now her mother-in-law.
“Ssttt .. don't blame yourself baby,” reply Mami Joanna. “Mami know you have sacrificed your feelings.”
“As your parents, Mami please believe in the power of patience Son,” advice Mami Joanna.
“Mami is sure one day Noah will be able to accept you and love you sincerely,”.
Sea nodded obediently, the two women of different ages dissolved in tears to strengthen each other.
While from the corner of his eyes Sea could see how Noah who was silent was silent during the sungkeman procession.
There was no wedding reception as planned. Noah refuses firmly because he is still in mourning after losing a lover for good.
The marriage, which was supposed to be two days away, was also forced to speed up at the wishes of Noah's father, Peter Myles.
Invitational guests originally planned to number thousands of people, now slumped only about 50 people. Most of the guests were from Noah's co-workers and employees from Seas Industries, who are now led by Peter's father.
So sad the fate of Sea as a newlywed. After all the series of events were over, when all the guests had gone away at the same time loneliness again enveloped the woman because the man who was already her husband status also rushed to go out of nowhere.
......................
A pink hue adorned her cheeks when she saw the figure of the man she loved sleeping soundly in the same bed as her. The man who since yesterday has been her husband, the man who has been halal for her.
Trying to move as slowly as possible, Sea tried not to disturb her husband's sleep.
“Suami,” mumbled softly accompanied by a very sweet smile from his lips.
After performing the morning prayer, Seanna sat down to pray to the Almighty so that his marriage would always be in Ridhoi by Him.
Sea believes, if he is serious then Allah SWT, the All-reversing human feeling will see it and it is not impossible if by His permission, he said, her husband will start to open his heart to her.
So before her husband awoke from his depths, Sea deftly prepared all the necessities Noah would need to work.
Starting from clothes, work bags, to Noah's shoes have been neatly arranged in a place that can be easily seen by the man.
Sea also did not want to waste a chance. No matter how small it is, if he thinks it is the duty of a wife then he will do it seriously.
“Mommy's Part,” sweep.
“Beautiful morning, how did you sleep? Yappy?” ask Mami Joanna.
As an adult woman, Sea certainly knew the meaning of Mami Joanna's question. If asked another woman who had also just been married the day before, Sea was sure the woman would blush in embarrassment upon getting such a question.
Unfortunately, Sea is not included in the category of women like that. From yesterday to today, not a word has been said from Noah's lips.
Seeing her daughter-in-law daydreaming because of her question, Mami Joanna felt guilty.
“Hey ... don't think about it. You are still on college day, right?” tanyakanya.
Sea nodded.
“Then join Mami ..” invite her.
“Mami will teach you how to conquer the king of the jungle,” added Mami Joanna.
The middle-aged woman also roared following the roar of a lion making Sea finally laugh.
The interaction of the two received attention from the figure of Noah who was neat and about to go to work.
“Ekhemm ..”
The attention of the two women was focused on the source of the voice.
“Noah, where are you going Nak?” ask Mami Joanna.
“Work, Mi.”Answer's short.
While Sea, the woman now stood staring at her husband. He bit his lips, which shook with tears.
Neither the clothes, shoes, nor the bags he had prepared, nor any of them were used by Noah. It was obvious that the man was reprimanding Sea with the rejection he was doing now.
“Work you say? Working on the first day after marriage?” pekik Mami Joanna did not agree with what her son wanted to do.
“What's the matter Mi? Something wrong?”
“Ya of course sal-“ Mami Joanna's greeting paused because her hand was tightly grasped by Sea.
“What a Mi, Mas Noah is a doctor. There are patients who need the presence of Mas Noah,” Sela Sea.
Noah, who had received a plea from his wife instead of thanking her, snorted in annoyance at Sea.
Although Sea's heart was actually reluctant to accept, but he would not falter. He will show Noah, if as high as possible Noah builds a wall between them but patience will always be able to knock it down.
I believe one day you will look at me, Mas, not now but hopefully soon it will.
