The Love Story of Arka
CHAPTER 37

Two weeks later

Today is Arka and Jasmine's wedding day. The wedding was held at the Queen's hotel. Since last night Arka began to hesitate to continue this marriage. He was resigned, but after two weeks of walking, he began to think again to continue it. Especially after he found out from Salsa that Tia could not come on her wedding day. He was getting overwhelmed with an immeasurable sense of sadness.

This morning everyone in her house was busy preparing for the wedding of Arka held at the Queen's hotel, but Arka locked herself away and did not want to come out of her room.

“Arka! When will you not leave?” asked Bu Widya who was ready with makeup on her face and kebaya attached to her body in front of the door of Arka's room.

The chuckley arka did not want to come out of her room and annul this forced marriage. He did not want to regret having married Jasmine and would end up in divorce.

“Arka! If you don't go out right now and get married to Jasmine, you'd rather die than be ashamed because this marriage is off!” sir Hendro shouted threatening Arka in front of the door of Arka's room.

He and his wife were ready with party clothes, but Arka rebelled like this on Day H. He would feel very ashamed if this marriage was annulled. Moreover, everything is ready and maybe even now all the Wijaya family is waiting for his arrival at the Queen's hotel.

“Arka! On the count of five, if you don't even come out of your room, papa will jump from this second floor!” threaten Mr. Hendro. He had run out of ways to persuade Arka since this morning. Now it's time for the show to start.

Mr. Hendro walked over to the second-floor fence of his house. Ms. Widya watched him and felt disbelief that her husband would do something bod*h like this.

“Pa .. please don't do that!“ prevent Bu Widya while shedding tears.

“Better papa die, Ma. than bear shame. Mama knows for herself who proposed this marriage papa, but even now this marriage is void and that cancels our child. Wanna put where papa's face is?” exclaimed Mr. Hendro was frustrated with Arka's selfish attitude.

“Papa could you leave Mama?” bu Widya asked in a soft voice and wiped her tears.

“Maafin papa, Ma .. “ replied Mr. Hendro then started counting.

“One ... two …. “ Mr Hendro starts the count. Ms. Widya approached Mr. Hendro to prevent it.

“Do not Pa! Don't!” prevent Ms Widya from holding her husband's hand and crying hysterically.

Arka who had been sitting on the edge of her bed and listening to the voices of her parents outside her room immediately stood up and opened the door of her room.

Ceklek, the door sounds open. Mr. Hendro and Ms. Widya immediately turned to the door of Arka's room.

“Arka is getting married,” said Arka suddenly. Smiles also rose from the lips of Mr. Hendro and Ms. Widya. They were relieved that Arka was finally willing to fulfill her request to marry Jasmine.

Half an hour later Arka was ready with a white suit attached to her body. Bu Widya also just finished in the make up again because of crying earlier, her make up became messy.

Queen Hotel

Jasmine and her family have arrived including Tia, Reyhan, and her sister Adimas Reyhan who lives in Germany. Jasmine was nervous waiting for the arrival of Arka who had not come as well. She was worried that Arka would cancel her marriage because it would be a great embarrassment to both sides of the family. It was already half an hour late from the schedule of the designated event, but the Arka family had yet to arrive as well.

Tia who had passed the front door of the hotel saw the inscription of the bride's name "ARKA & JASMINE" asked - asked if it was Arka ex-lover? He hoped it wasn't the Ark he knew. What happens if Arka who used to be his lover is now his sister-in-law? Tia thought about it in silence.

Half an hour later, the Arka family finally came. Tia anxiously awaits the apparition of who will be her groom.

The groom got out of the car and walked into the hotel entrance followed by his family. Tia who saw Arka was surprised. Tia widened her eyes and her legs felt limp almost falling backwards. Fortunately there was Reyhan who was always on standby beside Tia. Arka who saw Tia at her wedding party frowned.

Tia's coming? She attended my wedding? You should be the bride of Tia, instead of being an invited guest.Batin Arka is sad. But what is power? Arka was about to cancel her marriage, but her father threatened to kill himself if today her family name was tarnished because of the null marriage. So Arka relented and continued this marriage.

Now Arka sits in front of the pengulu pack with a gold dowry set of diamonds selected by Bu Widya. This is his first and last marriage. He wanted this marriage to be a historical memory all the time of his life.

Pengulu also extended his hand to Arka to start a marriage contract. Arka received it and the marriage contract process was solemn and smooth. Jasmine who heard it from inside the room felt relieved as well as nervous. Not long after she was invited out to meet Arka who is now legally her husband.

Jasmine sat down beside Arka and stretched out her hand to kiss the back of her husband's hand for the first time. After that Arka put the wedding ring on Jasmine's ring finger. Arka did all the wedding procession properly without any rebellion though. The only thing he can't do is smile.

After that Arka and Jasmine went up to the top of the guarantee and the families and invited guests went up to the pelaminan alternately to congratulate.

"Congratulations Jasmine, you're finally getting married as well. Serve your husband well. Don't be a spoiled girl anymore" Reyhan told Jasmine by stroking Jasmine's head. The arc beside Jasmine heard all Reyhan's words.

When Reyhan shook Arka's hand, they also rebuked.

"Sir Reyhan? So you're Jasmine's sister?" arka asked Reyhan in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm her brother Jasmine, and this is my wife Tia," Reyhan replied courteously while introducing Tia who was beside him.

"Hallo I'm Tia\, her brother-in-law Jasmine\," Tia greeted him awkwardly and nervously while shaking Arka's hand. Arka also rem*s soft hand Tia. Tia's heart was pounding even more as Arka rem*s her hand.

Arka doesn't expect to be Tia's sister-in-law. It's all his own fault for being too indifferent to his marriage. So he doesn't know all the Jasmine family.

They also took pictures together. Arka never smiles. His face was cold and jutek. Tia smiled awkwardly as well. Had Arka known in the first place, she might have refused this marriage long before. How could he marry the sister of someone who had already snatched away his very lover and still loved him. It's all already happened. Jasmine was now his rightful wife.
