Reaching Hope
Chapter 102 First Night

"Amin, thank you, Clara, follow soon" Cindy replied.

"Wait for your sister to have a baby first" Clara joked.

After shaking hands with all, the two were told to rest for a while because after that they had to immediately prepare for the reception.

At about 16:00 the two brides were ready at the ceremony, the host immediately started the reception. The procession used is customary Java. Invitational guests began to arrive to congratulate the bride. Clara and Sinta are the flowers at this event.

Juan was moved to see the show until he was unaware he shed tears. He's imagining that what's in the cell are him and Clara. He really can't wait to catch Bima and Cindy. He hoped his parents could give them their blessing soon, because after all a marriage without parental blessing would never be complete.

The reception went well, relatives, friends and neighbors all came to congratulate him. All lasts until 22:00, after which the bride is welcome to rest. Everyone is very tired but also happy with this marriage. Finished the Bima party farewell to return, because their responsibilities were waiting in the city.

"Mom, sir, take our son Bima yes. Do not hesitate in nasehati and angry if wrong," said Bima's father.

"He's our son now, so we'll take care of him like Cindy, sir. Father and Mother do not have to worry, yes" replied Mr. Jarwo.

After saying goodbye, the Bima family immediately returned to Surabaya. Bima will stay here until Sunday, he will be back with Juan on Sunday.

The night is getting late, the frenetic sound system has increasingly disappeared. Everyone has been in a dilapidated nina by fatigue after a busy day, except for the newlyweds. Time has shown at 01:00 in the morning, but their eyes have not been closed.

"Honey," call Bima.

"Yes" Cindy answered briefly.

"Now that we are officially husband and wife, I will always try to make you happy" said Bima.

"Thank you" Cindy replied.

Actually the heart of both of them is pounding, how not this is their first night after officially becoming a married couple. Although Cindy has tried to forget the past events but together with Bima at this time made her remember the incident.

"Can?" ask Bima softly.

"Can't it be today, I'm so tired" Cindy replied.

"No problem, I'll always wait until you're ready. But can I sleep with you in my arms?" ask Bima.

Cindy nodded, Bima started to hug her. They sleep face to face, Cindy starts closing her eyes even though she can't sleep. Bima stared fixedly at the woman in front of him lovingly, her long wait was now over. This woman really belongs to him now.

Cindy knew her husband was looking at her, but he could not open his eyes because he was still afraid. Finally both of them fell asleep after a long time of enduring the whack drowsiness. This first night they missed by sleeping together without adult activities like a newly married couple.

The next morning when the chicken had crowed, Clara and her mother had already woken up first. They clean the house and cook for breakfast. Actually the rest of the cooking at Cindy's wedding is still very much but they give it to relatives and neighbors who have helped them.

"Your sister isn't awake yet?" ask mother.

"Not yet Ma'am, let it be that maybe he's tired. Let's just cook," replied Clara.

But not long after they spoke Cindy looked out of her room.

"You're awake, you're sleeping, it's okay, let me help you" said Clara.

Clara observed her brother who was not shampooing when going to dawn prayer, it means they have not done the first night. Clara sighed, perhaps her brother had not been able to forget the incident. He prayed that his brother's marriage would last, even if it started from a mistake.

"Jhon hasn't Juan woken up yet?" clara asked to see Jhony in front of her house.

"No, he stayed up last night with people, not until what time because I slept first" replied Jhony.

"Yes let it go then" said Clara.

"Where are you going to take the bike?" ask Jhony.

"I want to go to the market to buy fruit, just like everyone else" replied Clara.

"Yes, I just delivered it" said Jhony.

"Yes, come on,"

They go to the market together. Arriving at the market they meet with Sinta, a woman who wants Tini's mother to mate with Jhony.

"Shopping is also Sin" said Clara.

"Eh Clara, yes, I want to buy fish and vegetables to cook," replied Sinta.

Jhony and Sinta smiled at each other, but there were no words from either of them.

"Eh not you guys are friends from childhood, how exactly are you quiet at this time anyway?" ask Clara wonder.

"Maybe Mas Jhony has forgotten, because he already has many new friends," replied Sinta.

"It's not like that, it's just awkward because since we've been to school it's never played together again," explained Jhony finally opened his voice.

"Yes I've been first yes, mother must have been waiting for me at home" said Sinta leaving them both.

"Clara you why the hell use the question so, the atmosphere so uncomfortable," said Jhony annoyed.

"Huh? What's my fault, Jhon?" clara was confused.

Jhony actually knew Clara wasn't wrong because she didn't know the problem, but she just got annoyed with the question.

"You know not, my mother wanted to match me with him" replied Jhony.

"Yes nice dong, as far as I know Sinta is a good girl. His education is higher than mine, his family is also well-known" said Clara.

"Clara, I don't want to get married. I don't want my past to be a boomerang that will ruin my life. I still want to make my mother happy" Jhony replied.

"Jhon, let the past be the past. Enough of us who know, you do not need to remember back. Your marriage is the way to make your mother happy, because there is nothing happiest for a parent other than seeing her child happy and having found her life partner" said Clara wisely.

Jhony was silent at the words of his best friend. His words were indeed true, yet Jhony seemed unable to accept it. But he kept thinking about Clara's words. Perhaps the happiness his mother waited for the most was seeing him get married. From the beginning it was only Clara and Cindy who could always open her mind, so they could be friends until now. Because they are true friends.
