As Chandra's car passes through the gate of the local headquarters to take care of documents for and registration of the wedding, everyone wearing army uniforms looks to pay respects to the car being driven by Chandra. Chandra smiled to greet the people there, the man also lowered his car window. Nadia who was beside him was quite amazed by the influence of her husband who was a three-star General. There are absolutely no journalists or reporters like Nadia predicted earlier on the road, there are only Chandra's words that come true here.
Almost all the people Nadia saw outside were tall and big, they also put up a full armament in uniform that looked so dashing. Just like the man who is now beside Nadia, the difference is only the fact that her future husband has a soft face and looks handsome.
"Are you ready?" chandra asked after turning off the engine.
Nadia took a deep breath, inexplicably the intention to get married was now reduced by ten percent.
"Returning from here .. are we right to be a husband and wife?" asked Nadia plain.
Chandra nodded. "You officially became my wife even if there are no obstacles, usually the file management process takes 3 days to one week, but based on KUA and civil records you are not my wife."
Nadia was still confused, but her grandmother told her that marrying an officer was a little complicated in the past, if now it might be different.
"You want to change your mind?" chandra asked, because Nadia seemed to think hard using her turmoil now.
"Change your mind what does it mean?" nadia ketus.
"Yes, maybe you want to cancel your intention to marry me."
"No. I have failed to get married, this time I do not want to fail marriage again!"
Chandra smiled so thinly, that Nadia did not catch the change in the face of her future husband who was always like a robot.
"Well then, it's 10 in the morning. We go inside."
Chandra politely leads Nadia into the wedding administration room at the headquarters. Most of the officers there are women whose age is in the range of 25-40 years, they gasp when they see Nadia who is a top actress and singer is there with an officer man who is now holding his right hand.
They initially whispered to each other then turned on their respective HP cameras to devote the image of Nadia who was with Chandra.
Nadia felt pounding and embarrassed, she did not expect that she was also famous among great women like the officers who were here.
"Eh, that's Nadia yeah ...."
"True, Nadia who played the same movie Hito ...."
"Betul, whose song is the most beautiful former," said one of them.
Nadia heard the whispers, while Chandra watched the surroundings with a frown.
"I didn't expect you to be famous at headquarters" whispered Chandra right in Nadia's ear.
Nadia giggles. "You should say thank you to me. Because later I will be your wife, you will also be famous," said Nadia confidently.
"I don't want to be famous" Chandra refused plainly and rigidly.
"Ah. If I were your wife, I would enter the officer's organization. You must be proud, because your wife is an artist. Maybe one or two years, you can move up the ranks thanks to my existence," said Nadia proudly, the girl did not even hesitate to wave to anyone who was there, Nadia also spread her best smile as if the girl had never experienced sadness a month ago.
"Are you familiar with me or not?"
Nadia stopped her steps, she then turned her head towards Chandra who seemed to be slightly pressuring Nadia at the moment.
"Honestly, before the wedding plan came out of Grandma's mouth. I've been asked by my sister Joy and my grandmother to find out all the information about you. So that I can get to know you first before actually agreeing to the wedding plan."
"But if this is how it works. So, I also want you to know me, as well as I know you," Chandra added firmly.
Nadia was like listening to a Commander who gave her an important task. Nadia grew silent, her beautiful face now became stiff.
"My favorite food?" nadia suddenly said. Asking a question made Chandra think a little.
"Oxtail pop, dessertnya you like Redvelved cake, drinks you like orange juice and lemon tea ice," replied Chandra firmly with her flat face.
Nadia rounded her eyes and was impressed by Chandra's very precise and accurate answer.
"You cheated!" deny Nadia did not accept, it certainly makes Chandra smile thinly. Chandra smiled either because of her win or because of the look on Nadia's adorable face. Only he knows.
"Why am I cheating? My answer must be right, right?" chandra's rebuttal made Nadia nervous.
Nadia folded her arms in front of her chest and looked at Chandra seriously. "You must have gotten those answers from my bio on the internet. As long as you know yes, the answer is not all true. Some were made haphazardly by my manager."
"I got that answer from your grandmother."
Nadia snorted in her heart, it turned out that her grandmother had been selling information all this time.
"Now, do you know what my hobby is?" ask Chandra later.
Nadia is small. "Eh, it's 10 o'clock. I'll be late for lunch." Nadia was good at ngeles, the girl walked first to the administration room to submit the file. While Chandra pouted a little because he felt ignored.
Submission of documents and data checks takes an hour. While handing over the documents, Nadia also chatted with the officer in charge of her registration. While Chandra met with friends while he was still an enlisted member when assigned in the Bandung area.
"After this, I immediately test the order?" nadia asked nervously. Although she is experienced, but when faced with this situation Nadia becomes a little depressed as well, considering herself a public figure.
The female officer smiled. "No, the test will be done in 3 days. For now, only needed to take photos with prospective husbands who have been provided here."
"Oh, instead of being ranked should be a direct test, huh?"
"Because Nadia's mother is the granddaughter of a marine, the tests on the documents are not needed. Nadia's mom just needs to do a health test."
Nadia mangot. "Loh, means according to the marriage office, along with the submission of this document. I'm officially Chandra's wife, dong?"
"Betul Mbak, there are several provisions of the procedure according to the update. Mbak just hand over this signed document to the KUA and do the wedding procession according to the belief of Mbak, civilly you with General Chandra Loey Abdinegara has officially become husband and wife."
"Ah, yes .. I understand," replied Nadia slowly, when in fact Nadia was still racking her brain to understand the wedding procession with an officer.
After the documents were submitted to Nadia, Chandra entered the registration room and affixed the signature in addition to Nadia's signature. The letter was a marriage certificate officially recognized by the unity of the army of the Republic of Indonesia.

Before doing a photo of the couple, Nadia went to the bathroom to do a touch up, but Chandra followed the girl with a look of caution making Nadia a little uncomfortable with her husband's attitude. Eh?
"Where are you going?" nadia asked as Chandra followed her into the hallway of the women's bathroom.
Chandra sighed. "I'll take you to the toilet" Chandra told me.
"You mean? Oh not surprisingly, it turns out you're not impatient, do you want to go anywhere with me?" nadia replied no less sniffling while wagging her hair that was left to stretch backwards.
Chandra rounded his eyes in disbelief. "What do you mean? I'm dropping you off because I don't want to wait too long in the toilet. I already know, if you're in the bathroom it's not enough 1 hour."
"Why are you laughing?"
"No. .. haha .. I'm sorry. You take it easy, I just want to use powder and a little lipstick, all neat hair. We want a photo" Nadia explained to her future husband.
Chandra looked at Nadia's face closely. "Why do you have to dance again? You look beautiful. In fact, I felt you were prettier when you woke up this morning" Chandra said with a flat expression, but managed to make both of Nadia's cheeks flushed red.
"Yuk!" Nadia slightly coughed as she was about to interrupt Chandra's words, the girl could not say anything even she refused to go into the toilet after getting praise from Chandra.

Nadia closed her eyes quietly after she finished all the wedding preparations to the local KUA, this afternoon Nadia had just returned home after being picked up by her father so Chandra did not need to take the girl to her home.
Nadia is kind, friendly, polite and very adaptable to the Chandra family. Maybe because the girl is a celebrity it is not difficult for Nadia to get a heart in the middle of the Chandra family. Especially Joy and the grandmother who is a fan of Nadia at home.
Realizing this makes Chandra become quite calm, maybe this marriage was never planned but it worked out well. While in the office earlier, many Chandra colleagues congratulated the marriage registration, among them there were even those who wanted to take pictures with Nadia and ask to get acquainted. Nadia wanted to do all that without seeming objection at all, earlier during a visit Nadia even made a cake with Joy, even though it was the first day Nadia met with all family members.
Something that was never planned is always done.
Drrt drrt
Chandra was aghast, his HP got a voice call, Nadia's name written on the screen. Nadia called tonight, maybe there's something the girl wants to ask.
"What's wrong?" ask Chandra slowly.
"Aren't you using whatsapp?" nadia asked back to make Chandra sigh slowly.
"No, is it necessary? You can still call me by phone, right?"
"Ck, but whatsapp is important. You can video call, you can send documents of all kinds. You can also update the status," Nadia said with annoyance.
"If I have such a thing, how do I work?"
"Why are you so hard to say? You just install the app. What's the trouble, anyway? You can use whatsapp to make communication easier."
"You just want to tell me to use whatsapp?" chandra said she didn't want to lose.
Nadia took her breath. "No. .. I wanted to tell you if our wedding condition photo is good enough, the plan I want to share the photo to-sosmed me. You mind?"
Chandra's speechless. The sosmed? Social media?
"No, just share .. while it's good."
"OK ... beware yes, you have to use whatsapp. gamau tau!" tell Nadia in an anxious tone. Chandra chuckled, but Nadia did not hear him because the girl immediately closed the call.

At 11 pm, Liza as Nadia's manager visited the house, the girl who earns a lot thanks to Nadia's popularity was quite surprised by the news of Nadia's marriage with a member of the TNI AD. Only a month ago Nadia was reported with Vidi because of a drug scandal that hit the man.
Liza is now sitting on Nadia's bed since two hours ago, the time was already at 1 am and the girl is still reluctant to go home, he said, maybe Liza will stay the night and force Nadia to tell all her grunts and the reason why Nadia should marry a TNI suddenly.
Now Nadia's name is trending topics in every city even throughout Indonesia, and maybe Vidi can get news of her lover's marriage behind the cell.
"Seriously Jen? Marriage to Abdinegara?"
Nadia nodded, Liza still shook her head for the umpteenth time.
"What about your career like this?"
"Yes, I want to hold Liz. If the condition is stable between me and my husband, yes I go back again to sing. I'm also writing a song now .. hehe."
Liza smelled something was wrong. Nadia was very calm, and that calmness was precisely in times of this kind of situation.
"This, marry you. No kidding Nad, let alone the same. TNI ...lo if you ask for a divorce can be shot."
Nadia laughed crazily on her bed, making Liza put on a look of annoyance.
"What the hell, Liz. My husband-to-be is not what you imagine. You see if he's gonna have a crush."
"Although stiff, say EYD really. His face expression was flat. But I'm sure he's a good man."
"Much better than Vidi, and my other exes."
Nadia was calm. Liza eventually nodded, she shut her mouth to not offend Vidi to Nadia.
"Lo, don't worry" Nadia said with a smile. Liza smiled, but was forced.
"So, when is the kabul?"
"Hehehe .. in a week. My husband-to-be has to go back to work. He took 1 month off, and that was a leave he never took in 5 years. The rest of the leave is only 1 week after Ijab kabul, Liz."
"Why did you get married in a hurry. So handsome Nad until you don't want to wait?"
Nadia smiled faintly there was no answer from her sultry lips for Liza.
"Gue won't be Liz's reception, so I'll just share a photo of the wedding ring through the sosmed. He also had to go back to Flores. Later, if there's a press who wants an interview, you're my deputy, huh?"
Liza nodded. "Hm, congratulations Nad ...."
•••
Day five knows, H-2 wedding.
In the afternoon Chandra came to visit with his father and mother to meet Nadia and give her a handover. Because their marriage will not be combined with the reception, then the first surrender is given by the family of the groom. Although not a reception, Nadia's house has been decorated simply, in the form of fresh flowers that adorn every corner of the room. There is a bridal room as well, and the top of the back of the house is already adorned as a place for tomorrow's flush. Chandra sat on the back porch, enjoying the cool aroma of the place filled with flowers and greenery with both eyes.
Nadia appeared, carrying two cups of warm tea and keeping it on the table. Chandra turned to look at Nadia who was now sitting beside him.
"Hm, Nadia .. I want to ask you something," said Chandra flat.
"Hm, just say ...." Nadia focused on her HP, not paying attention to Chandra at all. The girl was chatting with Liza who was going to deliver the wedding dress to her house later tonight.
"What would you like me to be like if I were your husband?"
Nadia looked up, then smiled at Chandra, and for some reason Chandra felt her heartbeat pounding with that smile.
