Rudi is my Love
RAC 66: The Mappasikarawa

*Rudi is My Love (RAC)*

“Saaah!”

Not only the official witness of Rudi Handrak's marriage contract to Adinda Moon who shouted “sah”, but almost everyone who witnessed the pronunciation of the sacred promise shouted loudly, it sounded so crowded in the morning that afternoon.

“Hahaha!” Laugh at them all. Although it was a very sacred event, but the atmosphere brought a semi-humorous happiness.

Yep. Rudi Handrak has officially announced his marriage in the hands of Rozaq Ahmad. Everyone's confession makes Rudi legal to be the husband of Adinda Month.

After choking “sah” from the witness and all who witnessed, pak ustaz from KUA immediately led a prayer of blessing that was observed by all who were happy.

At the wedding ceremony held in the living room, Rudi wore a bright red bugis custom outfit with his bugis songko. He's made up to be more handsome. Rudi remained in a wheelchair with his legs and right hand still hurting.

The house was full of booming because of the high interest of residents to witness the procession of marriage contracts. On the terrace full of people who are jostling trying to loosen his face on the doors and windows. The happy and beautiful atmosphere became quite disturbed by the heat created and made all the rage. Mothers, widows and girls are busy fanning so that their mascara, powder and lipstick do not melt with sweat.

There is no visible presence of the bride because the Moon is in the bridal room wearing traditional Lampung red dress as well. His traditional clothes are combined with his Muslim clothes. The moon was sitting on a bed with fragrant roses, smiling to himself while looking down. Screeches “sah” so lively make his heart too happy.

He wanted to scream happy, sing, jogged right then and there, but all that he had to endure in the inertia. To be sure, his heart was singing and dancing. The shadow of the first night was clearly already painted in his mind, making him laugh at himself.

“Sabar, Darling. Still have to sit in the mop first. Hihihi!” the Moon in the Heart. “Cock palpitations like this huh?”

The moon is indeed hit by a palpitating feeling, more pounding than when before his father married and married Rudi to him. The thumping feeling is not like pounding about to make the first speech in public, but a thumping feeling that gives happiness. I don't know what kind of pounding it's called?  

“Meet! Meet you!”

Suddenly there was a cry of some teenage boy.

“Coconut parts! Coconut crack!” There was a scream like that.

“Hei! Don't be reckless! It's still morning!” hardik Sandro to the kids.

“Hahaha!” laughter of most people.

At that time, Rudi Handrak was being pushed to the bride's room in order to process mappasikarawa which means touch. Beloved mother who became the driver of the wheelchair.

On the other hand, the people who fulfill the house are asked to do their respective duties, whether in the consumption section, the guest greeter, the guest chair stylist, or the on-duty diner only. Only the circle of relatives is allowed to see the show touch the groom to the bride.

Rudi's arrival to the bride's room was welcomed by both parents of the Moon Adinda. Rudi also greeted the two to ask for their blessing and ask permission to meet his new wife, because it was new.

All the relatives who saw the scene before the meeting were smiling to laugh happily, as evidence that the happiness of the two brides was transmitted to the people around.

Rudi was then pushed closer to the bed which had also been beautifully decorated, as the room would later become the bridal room and the first night room.

The moon Adinda dressed as an angel of the earth, kept her head down while smiling shyly, but did not make her ashamed. She did not dare to raise her face, not ashamed of the gaze of her new husband, but rather of being ashamed of the gazes of the crowd.

“Try her bride to shift closer to husband!” said Haji Daeng Marakka, to facilitate the reach of Rudi, understandably he could not freely move.

The moon moved closer to Rudi.

There are those who give a cry of temptation when the Moon approaches her husband who is already standing, meaning standing real with support on one healthy foot. It made the two brides laugh.

“Hold his crown and prayed,” said Muttaqin, his father Barada. Barada wasn't there at the time, she hasn't returned from her disappearance last night.

So Rudi also did the first touch to his wife on the crown first, not the other part first, will still be witnessed by many people. He touched with the right hand assisted by the left hand in order to reach the crown of the wife who moved closer. Indeed, Rudi's right hand is still limited in movement because there is still a bandage.

Adinda's moon felt a rush of happy flow in her bloodstream, as Rudi's right hand touched her ornate crown. The touch seemed to be a touch that gave so much joy, a touch that for three years he had longed for and dreamed of the man he had been dating since the beginning of his acquaintance.

The same thing was felt by Rudi. Although he was the former obok-obok body of his girlfriend, but after his hand penitent for three years, the first touch to the Moon Adinda as if touching something that is very containing love. To the extent that there was a pulsating stream flowing at the center of his taste. But he had to ignore that. This is not the right time to think about the throbbing.

Back to the touch in the crown of the wife. In Bugis culture, it is believed to be a meaningful symbol so that the husband is not looked down upon and underestimated by the wife. While from the religious side, at that touch a husband reads a prayer to God who asks for goodness from the wife and is protected from the bad character of the wife.

“Now touch his chest,” Muttaqin said.

“Hah?” shock Rudi while looking at his uncle.

“Hahaha!” Laugh at the relatives seeing Rudi's reaction.

“Top up, Son!” muttaqin's toilet saw the innocence of the newlyweds.

“Hahaha!” rudi's laughter finally. While the Moon was still lowered, but smiling widely.

“Touch on the chest means, hopefully later this couple will be given a lot of sustenance like a high and large mountain,” Muttaqin said.

“Hahaha!” the laughter of some people who just know the meaning of the tradition. They laughed because their minds were fixed on a mountain that was not a mountain.

“Then hold his hand,” Muttaqin said again.

Rudi also switched to holding soft hands decorated with beautiful girlfriends and their wedding rings. The moon held her husband's hand for the first time.

Closely clasped and lovingly looking at each other, as if to code without a sound and writing that the two have asked for each other, are already impatient. Both of them are both adults and both are not innocent people about love and romance problems.

“Sabar,” whispered Rudi very slowly, which was only heard by a Moon.

Call the Moon, as if she were impatient. He secretly pinched the small palm of Rudi's hand. The husband then went to the moon.

“Hahaha!” Laughing at the couple then.

“Hahaha!” the laughter of the relatives who saw the intimacy.

“Cium! Kiss it! Kiss!” cheers of the children who are the nephews.

“Heeh! Kids, his mind's been kissing!” hardik Haji Daeng Marakka's. “Everything to the party, soon the bride is going to the pelaminan!”

But then, Rudi kissed the friendly and soft forehead of the Moon Adinda. The first kiss that feels new can disappear after getting the first kiss on the lips. Lip kisses may only be obtained by the Moon later tonight. (BH)
