Mother Nisya was surprised. And immediately hurriedly left Ara and Qia towards the kabul ijab room to welcome the Rio family to the family.
Ara grew increasingly nervous, her hands trembling and cold. Qia knew her brother was nervous.
"Teh, if A' Rio saw the beautiful and graceful Ara Tea like this would immediately fall in love with it. Tea Tablecloths" Ledek Qia so that the atmosphere is not tense.
Ara's red cheeks blushed when at her sister's tease. Qia did know her feet condition knew very well. Hence Qia tried to calm Ara down in a seductive manner.
Ara just smiled a shy smile once.
***************
After welcoming the Rio family.
"How have all the relatives of the bridegroom been gathered?" Ask mr. penghulu.
"Already sir" replied Mother Nisya.
"If so, we start now. Call the bride-to-be to sit next to the groom." Ask the Lord to lead to Mother Nisya.
"Oh well sir" answered Mother Hisya and passed away.
Rio himself was already dressed in tune with Ara. All-white wedding dress is only a black tie and wear black skullcap anyway. Mamah Fani and Papah Rendy look harmonious wearing a batik uniform. Indeed, Ara and Rio's big family wear batik uniforms. Rio himself looked nervous. He's dating his chosen Mamah girl. This was the first time they met in person on their wedding day. Their marriage was only attended by the Rio family, the Ara family and some of Ara's neighbors.
When the room is boisterous the sound of talking. Suddenly it was silent for a moment. Their eyes were fixed on the beautiful and graceful girl wearing a white kebaya wedding dress. Bermakeup natural but very beautiful. Ara smiled at everyone present. His smile was so sweet, the way slowly out down the stairs was bubbled like the princess. His aura emanated making the entire room hypnotized by Ara's beauty.
Ara was accompanied by Mother Nisha and Qia. They headed towards the place where Rio was sitting impregnated by the ruler. Rio himself did not turn his face away. Rio eyes were staring from above to the feet. What a beautiful woman, she did not expect if her Mom betrothed Rio with an angel. But when he remembered the matchmaking words his heart was again covered in ice that was cold and frozen. Rio quickly directed his gaze in the other direction. Rio again acted coldly without any exertion at all.
***********
Ara knew herself and adjusted this situation. He smiled amiably, trying to see his happy side in front of the Ara and Rio families even all present.
Rio and Ara did not smile or stare at each other. They are silent to each other.
**************
Ijab qabul also happens with happy haru. Ara kept shedding tears. Her status is now Rio's wife Now Ara should make Mommy happy. It's okay that he suffers. Most importantly Mother always smiles. Sometimes Ara looked towards the Mother. His face was so happy. Mother Nisya cried to see her son was already legitimately the wife of Rio. So did Mamah Fani who has now become her father-in-law. So happy, Ara realized that he had made the happiness of people around.
Mother, Qia, Mbak Inah, Mang Anton, Mamah Fani, Papah Rendy, and other families they smile happily.
"Welcome you have become lawful husband and wife. Please sign first" Ask Mr. Penghulu to offer their marriage book and some sheets of paper. Rio first and Ara after.
"Change the rings" said Mr. Penghulu by thrusting a velvet box and opening it. Look 2 silver rings and decorated with beautiful and shining diamond gems.
Rio picked up and cupped onto Ara's wiggly and delicate fingers. And put it in slowly.
And vice versa Ara.
"The wife kisses the husband's hand and the husband kisses the wife's forehead" Mr. Penghulu gave the order last time.
With shame Ara held and kissed the back of her husband's hand. Rio also felt awkward because other than his Mom whom he liked to kiss no woman he ever kissed. Slowly yet surely Rio kissed a woman's forehead for the first time towards his own wife. So romantic and friendly. Ara just closed her eyes. Feeling the warmth inside Rio. After that, they bowed to their parents. So happy, so warm, so haru. That's what they feel is a new big family.
After the ijab qabul event. There are only relatives and neighbors who congratulate the two brides who are very compatible when they are together.
