THE STAIN OF THE PAST
Chapter 71. The marriage of Kania and Athalla

Kania and Athalla's wedding day is approaching. Just stay tomorrow. All the preparations were already ninety-nine percent so. Tonight Kania cannot sleep well. She was even a little nervous because honestly, Kania could not stem her fear just in case something negative happened regarding her marriage.

But Kania quickly got rid of that feeling. He was trying to change all his negative thoughts into positive ones. Although it was not easy, Kania kept trying.

Some days Kania has undergone a traditional procession that is still trusted by the family. Like how many days before the wedding day arrives. Can't meet with his bride-to-be, and Kania runs it even though Kania can still meet with Athalla via mobile phone.

Kania would not have been able to if he had not heard the news about Athalla even one day. Fortunately, today there are mobile phones that can connect the news of the two quickly. So Kania does not need to stem his longing for Athalla any longer.

Although his aunt Kania keeps reminding that Kania is not in contact with Athalla by phone in a few days. But of course Kania can't. She kept stealing time to get in touch with her future husband.

Earlier this morning Kania had also undergone a stretching procession. She felt as a princess served by her ladies. Even when Kania is being stretched, she does not realize that she is asleep. It may also be the effect of a few weeks ago Kania was exhausted from preparing for her wedding. And so, Kania came to ease.

"Sleep, Kania. It's late tomorrow, your wedding. Do you want if at your wedding later, you even sleepy or not strong continue suddenly you faint?" Kania's aunt comes to Kania in her room because she still finds that Kania has not slept.

"I can't sleep Tan, I'm thinking tomorrow. Very worried, you know. Besides, I was sleeping on the outside too." Kania tries to defend herself but her aunt does not want to know and continues to persuade her to sleep. Finally Kania had no choice but to lie on her bed.

This time Kania refrained from contacting Athalla. For this one time Kania will follow the custom procession properly and correctly. But soon Kania's aunt returned to the room and took the phone belonging to her father.

"This is the HP of Auntie confiscate first yes, tomorrow new Aunt again to you. So Auntie does this so you don't stay up late" said Kania's Tante.

Now there is no more reason for Kania to stay up late. But he also still can not fall asleep so Kania only back and forth to the right, to the left, prone and supine in his bed. So continue for some time.

This condition is not much different from what happened at Athalla's mother's house. The man also kept trying to calm down so that tomorrow's event was no mistake.

The wedding has arrived. Kania and Athalla are both happy because the wedding organizer they hired was actually working on the rustic theme like the two brides wanted. They did not choose the wrong wedding organizer. Kania and Athalla were equally satisfied.

Athalla could not take his eyes off the beauty of Kania who had officially become his wife. He remembered the ijab qabul event this morning. He was so shaky that Athalla tried to overcome it and she was grateful that finally the process was so sacred it was passed.

All the relatives of the Kania and Athalla families came. Their wedding was held in a building and was held grandly. Even not infrequently from invited guests who praise the beauty of Athalla and Kania wedding decorations.

"Congratulations, you're finally getting married. We're also happy to see you guys end up in the underwriting." One of Athalla's friends came to congratulate him.

"Yes, thank you for coming. Please enjoy the dish, may you like," reply Athalla.

One by one, the invited guests congratulated each other on the bride and groom. Kania's friends also some who come. Even a friend of Kania's office in Singapore came just to congratulate Kania. Of course, Kania felt overwhelmed to see some of her friends flying to Jakarta just to come to her wedding. Everything is in one photo.

The day continued into the afternoon, at this time the two brides had changed into mauve colors. And bridesmaid too. Kania feels like she's the queen of the day. He was served by many people, was the center of attention, received many congratulations, praised and much more. Kania is happy even more when she realizes that Athalla's status is now no longer her lover. But she changed to her husband.

The wedding party continues into the night. As scheduled, Kania will wear a silver dress and Athalla will wear a black tuxedo. Athalla had offered to wear a white or silver tuxedo but Kania refused. Kania said, it looks like Athalla will be more dashing if wearing a black tuxedo with a flower decoration in his pocket.

For night parties more impressed free with silver-colored dress code. When Athalla and Kania wedding when morning to afternoon is in the building, different from their wedding at night. Everything is on the beach side. Western songs and occasional disco music were played by them. And for the night event is more dominant filled by young people such as his friends Athalla and his friends Kania. Not many parents there. Except for a few nuclear families who still accompany.

Kania is really happy because she managed to realize her dream wedding party. It may look a little strange, strange and different from the other brides, but neither Kania nor Athalla are afraid to take the distinction. For them this is the party they want so they keep making it happen. Although there are some families who are a little challenging for the idea they have. But the two brides still broke through it.

Kania laughs loudly, she is currently dancing with Athalla on stage accompanied by the song Sway sung by Michael Buble. The two had been practicing the dance for a month before the wedding. Surely the exercise was done on the sidelines of the busyness of both of them.

All invited guests applauded and appreciated their courage for having performed at their own wedding.
