One Bed, Three Lives
Chapter 19 (Marriage of Abi and Laras )

Abi looks nervous when dealing with Ustad Mahmud who is currently going to be both Penghulu and Mayor of Laras.

"How's Abi's son? is Abi's son ready?" ask Mr. Penghulu.

"God willing I am ready" Abi said steadily.

Abi shakes hands with Ustad Mahmud, then Ustad Mahmud begins the wedding of Abi and Laras.

"Bismil was born Rahmanirrahim, brother of Abi Dirgantara, I marry and control you with Larasati Bin Almarhum Mr. Iwan with dowry a set of gold jewelry weighing fifty grams paid in cash."

"I accept the marriage and marriage of Larasati Bin Almarhum Mr. Iwan, with the dowry paid in cash" Abi said aloud.

"How are the witnesses? legitimate?" ask Ustad Mahmud.

"Well, legitimate, legitimate" the witnesses said.

"Alhamdulillah, now Nak Abi and Nak Laras are Legal to be a couple of Husbands and wives religiously. May you both be a sakinah family, mawadah and warahmah, and your marriage is always given happiness," said Ustad Mahmud, who was in Amini by all.

Laras kisses the back of Abi's hand which Sah has now become her Husband, then Abi kisses Laras' forehead with hidmat.

Even if our marriage is only limited to status, I feel very happy Laras, and I will always wait until you open the door of your heart for me, Abi said in her heart.

After Abi gave an envelope containing money to Ustad Mahmud and the witnesses, Abi paid his respects to all of them.

"Sir Ustad, everyone, thank you very much for your help. Then we go home first" Abi and Laras said, then said Salam before returning home.

Abi decided to bring Laras home to the factory, so that Abi and Laras could always be close to Daffa.

"Mas, why are we here? isn't this the factory owner's house?" ask Laras.

"From now on we will stay here, and I have asked permission for the Boss of the Factory owner to stay here," said Abi who still could not tell the truth to Laras.

Sorry Laras, I still can't tell you the truth about my true identity. I will definitely be honest once you accept me to be your full husband, Abi said in his heart.

Previously Abi sent a message to his housekeeper to call Abi with the call of Mas when in front of Laras, because if they call Abi with the name of Mr, Laras would definitely feel suspicious.

Abi and Laras said Salam upon arriving at the door, and Bi Surti immediately opened the door of the house to his master.

"Mas Abi, Neng Laras, from now on we will serve Mas Abi and Neng Laras. So, if there is anything Mas Abi and Neng Laras do not hesitate to Bibi and Mamang," said Bi Surti and Mang Diman.

Bi Surti and Mang Diman are a couple whose husband and wife Abi believes to take care of his home. However, until now they are still not blessed with children, even though their household age is thirty-five years.

"It's a cute little Den. Here is not carrying with the Mbah," said Bi Surti.

"His name is Daffa Bi" said Laras.

Bi Surti and Mang Diman looked happy with the presence of Daffa.

"Bi, Mang, from now on help us take care of Daffa yes if we are working" Abi said.

"Thank you very much Bi, sorry if we have been troublesome," said Laras.

"Not at all Neng, instead we are very happy because now we will not be lonely anymore. Moreover, we do not have children" said Mang Diman.

"Auntie with Mamang who is patient, God knows the best for His Ummah" said Laras.

Daffa is currently being played with by Bi Surti and Mang Diman, and Abi invites Laras to the room to be able to clean his clothes.

"Mang, Bi, we took Daffa for a moment" Abi said.

"Yes, Mas Abi calm down, anyway we will take good care of Den Daffa," said Bi Surti.

After reaching the room, Laras was surprised because the room was so luxurious, even had complete facilities.

Abi invited Laras to sit on the sofa in the room to talk.

"From now on, this is your room and Daffa, and the next room is my room" Abi said.

"If Mas wants, Mas Abi can sleep with us," said Laras with a clean slit, because Laras is well aware that at this time Abi is his Husband, who is his wife, even though Laras still could not open his heart to Abi.

"If I sleep with you, I'm afraid I can't help but touch you, because after all I'm a normal man" Abi whispered to Laras' ear, just touch Abi's words make Laras cheeks meet red.

Abi took out two jewelry boxes from inside her bag, then gave them to Laras.

"Alas, this is your dowry" Abi said by giving a jewelry box containing a set of gold jewelry left by his late mother.

"Makasih Mas" said Laras with a soft word.

"Why do you say thank you? is it not the marriage obligation of the Husband to be given to his Wife?" abi said.

"Since when did Mas Abi prepare all this?" tanya Laras who felt amazed when she saw the beautiful jewelry in the velvet box given by Abi.

"That was one of my late mother's relics, and I purposely always took her because I was sure to meet my true love. Baras, can I have you put our wedding ring on my ring finger?" abi asked by opening another velvet box containing a pair of wedding rings left by his late parents.

Laras slowly inserted the ring into the right ring finger of Abi's hand, as well as Abi who inserted the other ring into the ring finger of Laras' hand.

"Thank you Laras, because you are willing to be my companion" Abi said, then kissed Laras' hand.

"I should be the one to thank Mas Abi, because Mas Abi is always there for Laras and Daffa."

"Now you should rest, and from tomorrow you will not have to sell anymore, because I will bear the cost of your life and Daffa."

"But Mas, I don't want to be a burden on your life" said Laras who felt bad for Abi.

"Laras, now you are my wife, and you are the responsibility of my World and Hereafter. So, it is my duty to give a living for you. A wife must listen to her husband's words. Then I go outside first yes, if there is anything, you just call me," said Abi then set foot out from inside the room Laras to his room.

"Mas Abi was so kind, he was even willing to sacrifice his life for me as well as Daffa. From now on I must try to forget the trauma of my time, and I must also try to open my heart to her, because if I do not serve the man who has become my own Husband, I will be very sinful," mumbles Baras.
