"I promise you, Father Deya, if I am as good as I can I won't hurt her. It sounds difficult to share with others. I just want to build a lasting household like you or my parents. Only one but if God gives two it is a gift and I will not be wasted by disappointing that gift. Chosen again to be the third I would never do if Deya stayed by my side. It's just whether Deya can accompany my life until the end of your lives both of you because I won't curb Deya."
"You mean?"
"If he one day finds his true love then I will let him go. If until the end of our lives Deya remained faithful and loved me as I was, until whenever I would hug him tightly even chain him so as not to be far away." Edward said it sincerely felt there was a wound there that was unknown to everyone. Deya could feel the tremors.
"Do you have a problem with your wife or maybe your wife has hurt your man's side?" mr. Seto asked Edward in surprise.
"Just misunderstand a little, maybe it will improve." Edward threw his face to the side after saying that. Sighing and breathing out hard as if there was a heavy burden there.
"When will you get married?" asked Mr. Seto to make everyone in the room flabbergasted.
"Dad bless our relationship?" tanya Deya did not believe what she had heard.
"Dad doesn't like you to be second but Edward's the right man for you."
"It's not because he's rich but because he's a responsible man, implied from all the answers Edward gives."
Deya. Looking at his mother.
"Mom will approve of what your father says."
Instead of smiling happily Deya hugged her mother while crying.
"Mother's prayers will always be there for you, son."
"I'll marry Deya tomorrow" said Edward steadily.
"Kok.. so fast...."
"You're up to me."
"Let's find a good date. What's your weton and Deya's weton will count as good days for you to get married when?" said Deya's father.
"Actually Deya wanted to marry in hiding because Mas Edward's first wife did not agree as well because his family also did not know Deya. Deya is also still in college, this is just to justify our closeness. Mom and Dad know that dating a grown man is dangerous..." Deya begins to tell a thousand and one reasons that the two of them can marry the series and postpone it until Deya finishes college.

Surely the marriage was done the next day considering if Friday a good day to marry coincides also with the month of Eid al-Adha.
The marriage was done without the event only there was a penghulu and two witnesses other than the Deya and Edward families.
"I marry you, and I marry you to your betrothed, my daughter Deya Almaira bint Seto Arya with a dowry of a set of instruments of prayer and fifty grams of gold paid in cash." Mr. Seto was crying loudly. She doesn't actually want Deya to get married this way but she does it anyway out of fear that Deya would go far. Apart from what he taught all this time.
Deya who saw his father crying did not stop to wipe his tears that continued to flow.
For a moment Edward looked towards Deya not having the heart to do this. It would be like destroying Deya's own future. Edward understood that.
One hand Edward held Deya's hand tightly while looking at her. It was only when Deya nodded her head that Edward had just done it.
"I accepted her marriage and marriage to the dowry mentioned, and I was willing to do so. May God always give you grace."
All the Deya family threw their faces away and cried. Deya kisses Edward's hand, Edward kisses his forehead and his wet cheek whispers.
"It's the first day we get married don't make today like a funeral day for you." Deya looked towards Deya.
Deya nodded her head and Edward wiped off Deya's two wet cheeks. Deya hugged him.
"Give me a lot of love so that I'm not afraid to live tomorrow" Deya whispered.
Deya's family just saw the attention Edward gave Deya. At first they hesitated but the doubt disappeared instantly. Looks like Edward can take good care of Deya later.
An hour later the rulers who were friends of Deya's father came home with Deya's uncle who was a witness.
While the witness from Edward's side is his personal assistant named Sakti.
"Sir, we've got a meeting with Mr. Jhonson and the mining minister in two hours" tell Edward Sakti. The man then looked at Deya who was joking with his two younger siblings.
"Just go Nak Edward if it's important," said Mr. Seto took a glance at Deya.
"Ih, don't shoot this, you just shoot the right one. I'm not sure if my brother loses."
"Ih, brother who plays by himself rather than fussing over me!" said Ryan handed the phone to Deya while cross-legged bend his lips.
"Ryan has lost instead of me playing, sister!"
"Gee!" Deya seized the phone unaware that three people in front of her were watching her behavior.
"Patience Nak Edward, marrying a child is like that" said Mr. Seto.
Deya asked her mother in a gesture.
"Your husband wants to go to work again you're even cool playing with your sister. Remember that husband is number one."
Deya scratched her non-itchy head. "Mas Edward wants to work, I'm okay to be left behind. Let me take a taxi home with my sisters."
"Where are you going?"
"Home."
"Your house is with your husband."
"We're gonna hide first, so I'm still living with my parents, right?" ask Deya.
Edward breathed. "I will prepare an apartment or a house for you to live in. In the meantime you can stay at Daddy's and Mom's house because you have to look after your two sisters."
"Should it?"
Deya got sharp glares from both her parents, making her grimace and rewind her body backwards. Horrified.
"We'd better talk outside before I leave" Edward said. Deya immediately got up and came out before getting a scolding from her parents.
"Father and Mother, I say goodbye first," said Edward to take the hand of his father-in-law.
"Listen, I took care of Deya the best I could. Happy that was just my door. You may reprimand him if you make a mistake or scold him but don't insult him because we never did that. If one day you don't agree with her anymore or you've given up on your relationship then please hand Deya back to us in a nice way like you married her well."
"Good, Dad."
"Deya doesn't know about domestic life yet so teach her well and be patient."
"Good, Mom"
After saying goodbye to Deya's two parents. Edward shares a farewell with Deya's two younger brothers.
"So you don't have a cell phone?"
Raihan and Ryan shook their heads. "Then for Brother Deya to invite you to buy a new mobile phone for you tomorrow."
"Son, Edward doesn't have to."
"It's okay as a sign of my introduction." Deya's two sisters then exchanged boxing with Edward.
"So, I'm not going after your brother."
"Assalamu'alaikum."
"Greetings hallaikum."
Edward came out of the treatment room. Sakti pointed in which direction Deya was coming out. Edward finds Deya in front of Edward's car.
The man unlocks the car and tells Deya to come in.
"I want to talk to you for a minute."
Deya obeyed Edward into the car.
"Listen, I may be busy these two days so can't see you."
Deya nodded, "No problem!" said relaxed.
"We just got married and you don't have a problem if we don't spend time together? Too."
"We can spend another day, right, what's the problem?"
Edward scratched his head in annoyance.
