The falling raindrops drenching the balcony of the window glimmered like the chants of a melody breaking the silence. The sky is cloudy but not with my heart, because tomorrow is a very special day for me. I look at a pair of white gold rings with a name graph on the inside, this ring will be pinned on Renata's ring finger tomorrow.
I swore my phone to contact someone, I want to share this good news with him. But I still doubt if he will be happy for my marriage.

“ Hello Ray”, greet the voice over there.
“ Hello Ma, how are you? “.
“ Well just like this Ray, you how there ?”, he asked in a soft voice.
“ Good Ma. Ma can come to Bandung tomorrow? I want Mama to come tomorrow?”, I asked her.
“ What's up Ray? Mama again not feeling well, males doing “, he replied.
“ Oh what pain Ma?”.
“ Usual lah head dizziness keep ga napsu eat already a few days “.
“ Have been to the doctor yet Ma, Ray transfer yes make treatment “.
“ Mama has been drinking jamu kok, pretty good anyway. You've transferred to your kids yet Ray ?”.
“ Already Ma, always transferred per payday kok “.
“ Thank God, do not transfer ga Ray, inget your three children. They're Mama's grandchildren, Mama's flesh and blood is also Ray “, he replied poignantly.
“ Yes Ma for sure. So tomorrow Mama can not go to Bandung yes, if you can want Ray buyin train ticket nih “, pintaku memelas.
“ Is important? What the hell is Ray? If Mama is healthy again he might be able to, but now still dizzy Ray “.
“ Okay if that's Ma, just rest first Ma. Ray later told me that Mama was better. Take care of health yes, Assalamualaikum “.
My breath felt heavy in my chest, the muscles in my head stiffened and the pain spread to my shoulders. I can't think clearly, but tomorrow I have to face a sacred moment in my life. How I got married without my parents or family. What should I tell the Renata family if none of my family is present.
Now Renata is spending the night at his mother's house, where I will say kabul ijab to formalize our relationship. There was a glimmer of sadness that lingered in my heart, how much I missed my children. What are Kila and Kica doing now? I want to feel the hugs and listen to their chattering and crisp laughter. But I couldn't meet them before my trial was over. The condition of me and Rania being feuding at the green table makes me reluctant to meet.

“ Mas, have you contacted Pak Haji for tomorrow? Idris is ready to be a guardian. Stay ready for witnesses from your side mas “,
A message came in from Renata who was preparing for our wedding procession tomorrow. Because my side process is not over, inevitably we have to get married in series first. I want to immediately justify my relationship with Renata, this mind is no longer able to bear the feeling of guilt if it continues to linger in a bond without marriage with him.
“ I've contacted Fadli and Dimas to witness my marriage. Tomorrow also the RENTZ children I invite all. Unfortunately Mama can not attend, he said again sick Ren “.
Immediately I sent the message to my future wife. Feelings of happiness, panic, and sadness are now struggling to become one. Never mind, I cannot dissolve in anxiety, tomorrow is the day that Renata Rahardjo will be my wife. A new family is waiting for me right now, they are the ones I love so much right now.

“ Widih Mas Ray, handsome very nih “, exclaimed Fadli who cheered me when I just got off the car.
“ Yoih, want merit must be handsome dong. You can be cool too if you use Fad “ batik, I said while teasing Fadli who wears a batik shirt with a dry hairdo.
“ Well who knows ketangsangan can be spit dapet mate Mas “.
“ Aamiin. Cepet. Married nice tau “, I said teasing him.
“ Trust Maaaas, may it last well same this one “.
“ Aamiin Fad, thanks yes. I'm sure very same Renata, maybe my journey must be winding for the right matchmaking dapetin “.
“ God is the best regulator Mas, we never know his plan how “.
“ Yes Fad. Post and adja aja, I am sure one day God pointed His way “.
Fadli patted me on the shoulder with a taste of haru. He is the best friend I have right now. He is also the one who always gives the solution to all my problems since long ago, that is the reason I appointed him to be my marriage witness.
Fadli and I waited in a parking lot 300 m from Renata's house. At this time I still have to wait for the presence of the RENTZ team that I consider to be my family. Not so long Dimas and Angga were present with their respective partners.

“ Pak Haji is ready, what happened? “
I read a short message from Renata, apparently they were all ready to wait for us at home. With determined footsteps and a confident soul, we all walked into Mother's house. Seen as several parking vehicles filled the courtyard of the house, several people had crowded inside waiting for our presence.
“ Assalamualaikum”, greetings Fadli who became the leader of the bridal troupe.
“ Waalaikumsalam, finally until his groom “, said a man in his 60s wearing a turban.
We shuffled into the house, I immediately shook hands while approaching a table that was in the middle of the room while sitting cross-legged. A sense of relief emanated from the faces of Renata's relatives, my heart more and more dag dug not because it was made.
“ Mr Rayendra is ready to process ijab kabul?”, asked Pak Haji who will act as a marriage licensee. Next to Pak Haji, Om Idris is the guardian of Renata.
“ Inshaallah ready Sir “, I replied steady.
“ Thank God, where are the witnesses from both sides?”, he asked while glancing at my entourage.
Fadli, Dimas and two of Renata's relatives immediately stood up to us. My heart is pounding more and more as the kabul procession is about to begin.
“ Bismillahirrohmannirrohim. We will begin the marriage contract procession between Rayendra Saputra bin Fahrurrozi and Renata Rahadjo Binti Hermawan Rahardjo. Please Renata Rahardjo enter the room to process ijab kabul”.
He walked down the stairs carefully like an angel, seen Daffa who looks beautiful with modern kebaya accompany his steps. The smile of happiness emanated from their faces, the smile from the thin lips of Renata always adorned his face.
“ Alhamdulillah has arrived his bride, Mr Rayendra is ready for the procession ijab?”, asked Pak Haji while looking at me.
“ Inshaallah Sir I'm ready “.
“ The dowry is ready? If not wrong set of gold jewelry and cash of Rp 2,760,000 rupiah?”.
“ Right Sir “, I replied steady.
“ Please guardian in office with the groom. Wali please say ijab out loud and qobul replied by the groom loudly and clearly just one breath “, please,
Idris shook my hand. I try to hold back the groggy taste while remembering the kabul ijab text that I have been shipping since last night.
“ Brother Rayendra Saputra bin Fahrurrozi I want and marry you to Renata Rahardjo bint Hermawan Rahadjo with a dowry a set of gold jewelry and cash of two million seven hundred and sixty thousand rupiah paid cash “.
“ I received the marriage and marriage of Renata Rahardjo bint Hermawan Rahardjo with the dowry paid in cash “.
“ How are witnesses? Legitimate? “, asked Mr. Haji while glancing at the witnesses.
“ Saaah “, said Fadli and Dimas with a smile full of relief staring at us.
“ Thankful. The reading of ijab kabul smoothly, then we approve Rayendra Saputra and Renata Rahardjo has been halal to be husband and wife “, said Pak Haji while giving thanks.
A prayer thread is solemnly offered while being observed by all the invited guests. I offer prayers from the bottom of my heart to the Khalik, may my marriage with Renata be blessed and lasting until the end of my life. Aamin Ya Robbal Alamin's.

“ Congratulations Yes Sister Rena and Mas Ray, hopefully lasting until grandpa”, said Cintya while shaking my hand.
“ Thanks, where are the other kids? There is a ga dateng ya “, I replied while receiving his handshake with great happiness.
“ Yes Mas, he said there is a family affair can not attend. Greetings from Nurul, Rangga, Tantri and Fikri”.
“ Waalaikumsalam, yes thanks yes “.
“ Sana gih eat first in dalem, do not disturb the new bride “, said Renata while hugging my waist. His smile always expands whenever people congratulate us.
“ Yes it is legal, do not want to be disturbed until later malem “.
“ Delicious until malem. While in front of us the honeymoon continues yes dear “, I replied while hugging my wife's body.
Cintya immediately left us both on the porch. I looked deeply at the beautiful face of Renata and embraced her slender body so tightly. He stared back with a loving smile while whispering in my ear.
“ Thanks you already want to be the husband and father of my son “
“ I thank you. Thank you for accepting me for who I am even though I am not a perfect man. Thank you for being patient on all the issues I made “.
“ Both mas. May this be our last marriage so that we can age together “.
Sayup-sayup with the music from the room, singing shahdu among the joking ripples of the guests who came. I threw happy smiles at all the guests who congratulated me, until we all dissolved in happiness that day.
How happy my heart is
I sit with you alone
Walk with you
Dance with me
But if today is the last
But I am still happy
I'm always grateful
That's how it is
But if you want to be alone
Hurry up and tell me
So that I don't hope
And make you sad
When the time has come
I want you to be my wife
Walk with you in the heat and rain
Run around and laugh
When the time of separation has come
Let me take care of you
Both of them enjoyed a hug at the end of time
Please be with me
