The Three Worlds God
Wedding Day.
"Tomorrow, by the way, is your wedding" Gongfu said.
Astara and Jiarong were shocked. They both forget that they are getting married tomorrow.
"Geez, I may forget the wedding day." Bailin patted his forehead.
Gongfu laughed. "You're getting ready."
Jiarong and Gongfu came out of Astara's room. Astara's heartbeat suddenly beats erratically after knowing tomorrow is her wedding day with Jiarong.
"Bailin," called Astara blankly.
"What?"
"Have you ever been married?" ask Astara slowly.
"Of course not. All my life I've only served the earth god. But, I often see humans getting married. It was a happy day" Bailin replied.
"You said it was a happy day, but why do I feel so nervous" Astara said.
"Don't ask too many questions, just do it. What is clear is that when humans get married there are a lot of good food" Bailin said with a laugh.
Astara immediately sent a letter to her parents. With his magic power the letter reached Caraka and Sugandhi.
"My wife has a letter from Astara" Caraka said cheerfully.
Sugandhi immediately approached her husband. They both read the letter.
"It turns out that our son asked for his blessing for his marriage to the daughter of the Lin'an sect" Caraka said.
"Let me return the letter" Sugandhi said. With her magic power the letter reached Astara's hands. Bailin was curious to see the reply from the letter. Astara seemed relieved that her parents supported her marriage.
...***...
The marriage between Astara and Jiarong was also in the title. Astara looks handsome in a long red robe. Jiarong looks graceful with a long red dress patterned with fire symbolizes a burning love. The two of them faced each other in front of the head.
"Give greetings to the elders" said Penghulu.
"Honor the heavens and the earth!" exclaim the penghulu.
Astara and Jiarong took a lighted hio (red lyre), and placed it in an incense container. They kneeled and bowed in honor of the universe the mark of their blessed marriage.
"Congratulations to both brides!" The ruler doused a little water to the bride and groom with a small container of flowers in his hand.
The invited guests who were present also applauded congratulating Astara and Jiarong. They shook Astara and Jiarong's hands as they walked towards the bridal chamber. Bailin tried to enter to see what Astara and Jiarong were doing.
"Where are you going?" xiao Yu asked blocking Bailin's move.
"I'm going in, move out." Bailin looks curious.
"No, when the bride is in the room. It's both of their business. You must not interfere," Xiao Yu said.
"Why indeed? I'm Astara's childhood friend."
Xiao Yu continued to block Bailin. "You must be able to distinguish between a friend and a husband and wife."
"Bailin what Xiao Yu said was true. Let Astara and Jiarong have fun" said Gongfu who suddenly arrived.
"Happy, why don't they take me" Bailin said.
"Followly, we better eat in the banquet hall" Gongfu said.
"Can." Bailin followed Gongfu from behind.
While in the room, Astara was opening the cover of Jiarong's face sitting on the edge of the bed.
"You're so beautiful today" Astara said in awe.
Jiarong smiled looking at Astara. "You look good too."
The two of them threw smiles at each other meaningfully.
