WHAT ABOUT ME?
82
I stared at the reflection of my face in the mirror, I just finished on makeup and changed into white kebaya for the ijab qobul event.
there was a creak of open doors, mother, entering into the room with a smile expanding from her lips.
slowly approaching and patting both my shoulders slowly, "beautiful daughter, Mother, "praise her staring at the reflection of my face in the mirror.
"Mother is also very beautiful, " said I smiled sweetly
This morning, after finishing breakfast, we and our family in boyong headed to the hotel, where my wedding party with Yuda was.
"in 30 minutes, the show will start soon, "
Mother's words made me tremble even more, especially in a moment, my status will change into a wife.
the ijab qobul event will be held at 10:00 wib, Jefri has already gone to the ijab qobul procession to prepare because he will be the guardian in lieu of father.
"Jefri how, Mom? "
"your sister is fine, she was with Yuda in the ballroom, "
I invited Mom to sit on the edge of the bed to make it easier to talk, she gave a lot of clothes so that I could be a good wife for my husband.
Not feeling the time passed so quickly, the WO team came to me and told me that if 10 minutes were to go, the event would start soon.
I was getting more agitated, and my da was pounding, but Mom immediately grabbed both of my hands to calm down.
"istighfar, son, "
five seconds later, the door was knocked back, two people I thought would not come, now appearing with his mischievous smile.
"assalamu'alaikum, SURPRISE!" screech both
"wa'alaikumsalam? how can it be here? said you can't come? " ask me with glassy eyes.
Naila and Vidya approached me and hugged me, rubbing my back to calm down
"hey, the bride-to-be is crying, "reproves Vidya
"iya ih, crybaby, "continue Naila
"he said he can't come here? " ask me a little sulking
"yes, we can't come here with the group, but not necessarily, if we can't come here both right? " doubtfully Naila
"Should give clear news dong, "
"if you tell, it's not cool, "alloh Vidya
The three of us laughed together, then the WO team came back and reported if the procession of ijab qobul would start soon
Now I sit back in agitation, even though Naila and Vidya have comforted me but still, the pounding in my da da is very difficult for me to control.
We stared at the television which displayed a fairly crowded ballroom, after which it changed towards Yuda who was already sitting in front of the penghulu, there was also my sister who would shake Yuda's hand.
"look, Yuda looks very tense, "naila chirped
not long after, my sister began to say the ijab and was welcomed by Yuda who immediately said the qobul until the sound of the word SAH was so jarring in the ear.
I immediately hugged Mom tightly, now I have officially become a wife.
"congratulations, dear, "bluff Mother
"Always pray Jasmine yes, Ma'am, "
"without your asking, I will wish you the best, son, "
My mother led me out of the room, into the hotel ballroom, with Naila and Vidya trailing behind me.
arriving at the ballroom, mother immediately asked me to sit next to Judah, kiss her right hand and reply with a kiss on my forehead.
"you, beautiful, "were making me blush in shame.
There was a boisterous sound of applause and cheers from the invited guests when Yuda put his beer on my forehead.
The marriage procession has been completed and will continue with the reception.
after I finished signing the wedding papers, I was escorted back to my room to change my mother-in-law's choice of dress immediately.
the sound of Naila nagging from the door, I who was still busy with makeup artists who were tidying up my make-up could only glance to see what was really going on.
Suddenly Yuda was standing behind me, he had changed into a black suit, now he changed into a navy blue tuxedo with a bow tie.
I stared at her through the mirror in front of me, she replied with her sweet smile.
"what's up? " ask me Yuda. My makeup was done, I immediately turned my seat to face Yuda
"no, just want to see my wife, "he replied.
"modus Jas, mode, say I can't stand " Naila quipped
"you could not, from earlier nagging mulu, "the grumpy Yuda stared fiercely at Naila.
"mouth is indeed useful for nagging, "reply Naila.
while I just shook my head slowly, indeed since Judah entered, Naila had been nagging at length which essentially asked Yuda to return to his room.
"already, why are you guys so noisy,"
After everything was done, I grabbed onto Yuda's arm, walking slowly back towards the ballroom
The main door opened, I walked in tandem with Judah, seen inside there, there were already many invited guests who had arrived.
Mother and Jefri were waiting for me on the stage with my two in-laws, with big smiles adorning the four people who were waiting for us.
"just walk slowly, " said Yuda reminded
I nodded, indeed right now, the navy blue dress I was wearing was very heavy, and big, I had to be very careful that something bad never happened.
***
The wedding party that was planned to be finished at 1 pm, now it was finished at 2 pm, it was because a lot of my father-in-law's business associates took the time to congratulate us.
I have no problem, as long as I can, I will stand, welcoming the invited guests who pray for our household.
Now Yuda and I have returned to their hotel rooms to change clothes, with Naila and Vidya helping, now I can breathe a sigh of relief because that heavy dress has been detached from ba and me.
"finally.". "smooth me while exhaling slowly.
"how-how? is honeymoon not it? "
"dong immediately! " excited Yuda who arrived to enter the room. Fortunately, I had finished changing clothes so I did not need to panic.
"cie. "tease Vidya and Naila, squinting her eyes.
"ish, what the hell, Yud, "my hiss is staring intently at Judah,
"don't be angry, right we do want a honeymoon, the car is ready below, let's immediately remove your makeup, after that same saying everything, "he ordered
Naila and Vidya seemed to giggle at Yuda's words, while I was just gawking, because before, Judah had never discussed this matter.
