Mom, Why Am I Different?
Chapter 30
Today is my wedding day with Roy, since the morning I and some of the surrounding residents have been busy to welcome the arrival of Roy and his family. Luna who at that time was wearing a white dress with hair that I accidentally tied two looks very beautiful and funny. A happy smile was clearly visible on my lips and Luna while we were in the waiting room.
"Mother looks so beautiful" praised Luna as she watched me wearing a white bone-colored kebaya matching the dress she was wearing.
"Luna also looks very pretty in this dress, "my answer that immediately made her smile happily while turning her body around.
This is the second marriage I will have in a matter of a few hours. However, somehow feeling groggy and nervous still came to me. Even when Roy's family arrived my heart grew nervous either because I was happy or something else.
"How can marriage be done now?" ask Roy and Mr. Usman.
“Can Sir, but briefly still waiting for the bride insya Allah soon finished,” replied one of the residents in the living room.
Not long after I came out holding Luna in my right hand. At first glance I saw the smile of my future in-laws when I saw me coming out of the room. Roy who was sitting in front of the ruler could only look at me with a gaze as if fascinated.
“Mas Roy, if you see Mbak Rani do not long later forget the khobulya ijab loh,” said the ruler who made everyone laugh out loud including me and Roy who only smiled little while looking down.
“Well let's now shake my hand and we do the ijab now, maybe the groom can't wait to kiss the lover of the heart immediately,” added the penghulu while glancing towards me and Roy who was already sitting in front of him.
“Muhammad Roy Alfahri bin Usman sudrajat I marry and marry you to Shofia Anggraini bint Almarhum Doni Hermawan with dowry a set of prayer tools and gold weighing 9gram and money worth 10 million rupiah paid cash,” said the penghulu while shaking Roy's hand.
“I accept marriage and marriage Shofia Anggraini bint Almarhum Doni Hermawan with dowry paid in cash,” Roy replied while looking into the eyes of the ruler.
“How are the witnesses?” asked Penghulu to the two witnesses who were beside her.
“Well,” said both witnesses and everyone in the room.
Hearing the legitimate words of all the witnesses of the ruler immediately offered a prayer for both of us. Without feeling my tears fell without being able to be held again. The feeling of haru and happiness is so felt in my heart, as if I have not believed if now I have officially become the wife of my own good friend.
After doing a series of events ranging from akad to my reception, Roy and Luna enjoyed our first night as a whole family by performing prayers at home. After performing the prayer I rushed to the kitchen to make a warm tea for the three of us. However, when I was busy with my activities in the kitchen suddenly Roy approached me while carrying my phone.
"Darling, let me continue now you receive a call from Niko first" Roy ordered, giving me a cell phone.
"Otherwise he wants this time," my inner self looked at Roy.
Actually I've been lazy to connect with Niko, because the more I try to make friends and accept him among us makes it harder to forget my dark past. However, when I saw Luna's face it felt selfish if I separated Niko from her own daughter. This is as difficult a choice as I have to face and as to when I have to live with the shadow of the dark past and the trauma and wounds that Niko has given me.
“Halo, Assalamualaikum,” I said when the phone call was connected to Niko.
“Waalaikumsalam, sorry today I did not come to your wedding reception because today I have to take Mama to the hospital, ” replied Niko while sounding stiff.
“It's okay, is Miss Sarah sick?” I asked a little surprised when I heard the reason for my ex-husband.
“Iya, today Bi Imah found Mama passed out in the family room,” replied Niko who sounded lethargic.
“Astagfirullah, then how is Miss Sarah now Mas,” I replied while closing my mouth as if I did not believe what I heard.
“Currently Mama is still unconscious,”Niko replied briefly.
“If you can know Ms Sarah in which hospital, Mas?” ask me with curiosity.
“In hospital Medika. Ran, yes, because I want to see Mama in her room,” said to Niko before closing her phone.
“What's the matter, honey? Why does your face look so moody,” asked Roy who was already beside me.
“Bu Sarah entered the hospital Mas,” I replied as I turned towards Roy.
“Astagfirullah, then we rest first tomorrow we look at Ms. Sarah in the hospital," said Roy while holding me towards the room.
Tonight is the first night I'm doing my duty as a wife to Roy. Roy was a man who understood about religion, he gently invited me to perform the sunnah prayer before we had a husband and wife relationship. After doing the Sunnah Roy prayer held my head and read a prayer for me, but I am sure what he is doing now is the thing that will make me a sholeha wife.

The next day when I woke up from my deep sleep. I rushed to the kitchen to prepare food for my little family. However, how surprised I was when I passed the dining table I saw Luna and Roy who were neatly enjoying a plate of fried rice with a voraciously.
“Mother! See Om Roy cooking fried rice for us,” cried Luna as she watched me walk from the room.
"Mas, are you awake?" I answered while rubbing my little daughter's hair and sitting next to her.
"Yes, I've been up since dawn because I was confused about what to do so I decided to make fried rice and happened to wake up so all of you I asked him to take a shower immediately, " roy smiled at me.
“Why don't you wake me, I ‘kan can help you Mas,” I replied with a sense of condolence.
“I was going to wake you up, but when I saw you so soundly so decided to let you. I'm sorry dear,” replied Roy with very soft words.
“Mother let's taste Dad Roy's food, it tastes good,” said Luna who surprised me.
“Dad,” my word with a clean slit.
“Say Om Roy today I have to call him by calling Dad, because Mom and Dad are already living together, right Yah?” obviously Luna while holding the spoon.
“Iya Little miss, now you spend the fried rice after that we will go for a walk,” said Roy who was nodded and smiled by Luna.
I am grateful to be able to marry Roy, his patient and gentle figure is very comfortable and calm Luna. He was a good man whom God sent for me and Luna. She always treated us very special like a Queen.
