"Marriage is simple. No party, no guests. Our parents should not know, if this is an accident. Enough they know you're pregnant, because we've been dating for a long time. Then you should come and obey me. And one more ... This marriage is just a deal. So, don't expect more!"
A single sentence of unilateral agreement that Darren threw, still ringing in Zea's ear. The girl snorted in annoyance whenever she remembered the man's words. A week passed, and the wedding took place. There is no communication between the lovebirds.
Fiting clothes was done by their parents, with the reason Zea was lazy out. Of course by bringing along her pregnancy as an excuse. In fact, he did not want to meet the man after the meeting that night and heard the agreement.
"Who does he think he is? Hmh!" the upset. He caught his breath after a while of vomiting again.
"Darling, is it over?" mami's screaming knocking on the bathroom door.
"Yes, Mi. Udah," reply Zea.
"Yes, you take a shower! Onty Chika was waiting in the room" Vani said, and Zea said from the bathroom.
Zea breathed a long breath. The day on which it will change status is ready to be implemented. The day that will bring him either happiness or sadness, must be ready to go through.
"Alright, we start our adventure huh, Baby! Fine in Mommy's stomach," said Zea smilingly stroking her own stomach.
Not wanting a lot of thoughts, which would make the whole family suspicious and worried, he would start acting happy. He cleaned himself according to the instructions of the mother.
It didn't take long, Zea was done and out of the bathroom. Three women greeted them in bed.
"Cieee ... Manten," chirped Cheryl welcome. Soon his cousin-in-law hugged Zea's body which was only wrapped in a bathrub.
"Congratulations, Ze! I'm happy too. Finally, you followed too," said Cheryl cheerfully who of course replied with a sweet smile by Zea.
"And this ..." Cheyl fingered Zea's flat stomach. "We're together!" pekiknya.
Zea was gawking for a moment, until she woke up and immediately hugged Cheryl. "Geez, congratulations, Cher!" he said with teary eyes.
A sense of haru and sadness enveloped the heart of the bride and groom. Cheryl must be very happy to welcome the long-awaited pregnancy. He himself was grieving, because he never expected it.
"Isshh, how are you crying? Don't cry dong, have to smile!" Cheryl wiped the tears on Zea's cheek as they let go of the hug and realized the girl was crying.
"What? I still cry happy. I can finally be as happy as you, too" Zea denied which made them all smile.
Both mothers were there. Mami Vani and Chika, Cheryl's mother, smile happily together. Vani approached the two. He rubbed the head of the princess who turned out to be so mature, happy and should envelop his heart.
"Mommy!" Zea hugged Mami's body, with a myriad of regrets and guilt in her heart.
"I'm sorry, Mi. Sorry me," he said. Warm threads that keep crammed from both ends of the eye, can not be dammed again. Until finally spilled in the arms of the mother.
"That's it, there's nothing to apologize for. Every human being has his own faults. Most importantly, you want to admit your mistakes and fix them. With you sincere and heartened to take care of your future baby, Mami is sure. God will always give you happiness" Vani advised. Zea nodded in understanding, in her heart she promised to take care and raise her future baby, no matter what.
"Well, what a crying drama? Let's get ready to kick it!" take Chika after the mother and child let go of each other's embrace. The two nodded with a smile and prepared for MUA's self, Chika herself.

"Finally, you're mating too. Uh, marry me I mean," Kekeh Reysa melted the atmosphere that had been so tense without a sound.
Darren just grimaced in response. It was enough his head dizzy to memorize the ijab that might be mispronounced, a joke that the chatty girl was completely reluctant to respond.
"Not to be tense. Strain it save it for later tonight," chirped Reysa again who managed to get a toyoran from Darren.
"Curtain! I'm just experienced," annoyed Darren and only responded to laughter by Reysa.
"Gue just wants to pesen with you. Never have you been sick with Zea. She's a very nice girl. Especially now there is a prospective descendant of yours. Take care of them, hem!" reysa's message after stopping the laughter. "Gue was sure, you are a good future husband and father!" he patted both of the men's shoulders with a smile.
Darren was silent with a lot of thought. The advice given by his cousin is true. But is he really ready?
"Day!" The mother's call from the doorway distracted two people there.
"Yuk off! Everything is ready!" take Riska, the Mama. Darren simply nodded in response.
They immediately went to the bride's residence. Right, not many introductions are coming. It really is just a nuclear family. There was only opa and oma from the mother's side. Uncle and his two cousins. As for his father, his grandmother was gone. And Daffa, the Papa has no brothers. Only two cars left his home.

"... Paid cash!"
Aska's voice boomed in the spacious room. For the first and probably the last time the handsome man at his age said kabul as a guardian for his only daughter. Hand over one valuable asset in his life, to the man who now shakes his hand. With hope and do'a, the man can look after and love the princess, just as he did.
"I accepted his marriage and marriage, Alzea Sarvanes bint Aska Giovano Aruman with the dowry in cash!"
No less loud, Darren's voice boomed and with one breath was able to say ijab without any mistakes.
"How's the witness, legit?" pak Penghulu asked the two witnesses, Rio opa and Ar opa on both sides of the table.
"Well!" say both simultaneously.
"Alhamdulillah ... Neville ..." Pak Penghulu continued the event with a strand of wedding do'a.
Everyone put their hands together confirming every single memorization the middle-aged man had spoken. With the same hope and do'a, the happiness of both brides.
Meanwhile, Darren and Zea themselves have such hope in their deepest hearts, though nothing can be expected of the marriage. Only one hope convinced them. The life of their descendants.
'For the sake of the new life, I am ready to face anything!'
