One day before the wedding. Time passes so quickly. Larissa was twenty-four hours away who would become a wife and part of the Vijaya family. Larissa who was sitting on the edge of the bed stared wistfully at the wedding dress she was going to wear tomorrow. The riddle of what kind of man would marry her.
Larissa did not know the name of the man who was going to marry her. Father did not even tell about the characteristics of the man. Though Larissa really hopes for father to give a photo for her to know that a male figure will be Larissa's husband.
Larissa could only hope and always think well of her Lord.
" Larissa,,, Larissa,,,, ". The voice that called out and the knock on the door that started to clash. It turns out that Mom called Larissa. Larissa started to stand up and opened the doorknob. Mother began to speak four eyes from the front of Larissa's room. Larissa understood what the mother said. Larissa started to return to her room. Larissa was very tired to deal with this reality.
Larissa just wanted to be in her room. Again the thought of Larissa's marriage always danced over her mind. This marriage is in plain sight . Very sad for Larissa. Larissa really wants to marry a man who will accept her What It Is.
Larissa also wants to enjoy her teenage years. But, unfortunately in High School time with the age of 18 years. Larissa had to give up on herself to marry the son of Mr. Azka Wijaya.
Tok,,,, Tok,,,, Tok,,,,.
The knocking of the doors that began to collide is now opened by the Mujahideen. It appeared that the men who stood firmly before his eyes complete with after the suit they had started to look at the Mujahideen. The three people right in front of the Mujahideen began to smile. He was a man of Revan.
Revan gave one pair of rings and a set of prayer tools to be made into a dowry on the day of tomorrow. Revan deliberately gave the items to his candidate. So that the candidate can appreciate the gift and wear it on the day tomorrow. After that, Revan's men left the Mujahideen's house.
The mujahideen began to put the goods on the family table which was brought by Revan's men. From the paper bag there is a paper containing words and prayers written from Revan Kurniawan Wijaya to Larissa. Now finally Mujahideen knew the full name of the giver and his son-in-law.
"Larissa,, Larissa,,,,". Said Dad calling Larissa. Larissa who heard the voice of Dad's screams began to approach her father. Larissa who started to open the algae door and out of her room glanced at the item on the table. Every now and then I give a faint smile to Larissa. Larissa who was astonished at Dad's behavior began to ask.
" What's up Dad". Ask Larissa.
" This take you to your room. This is a gift from your future husband. His name is ,,,,,.
Momentarily the father's voice came to a halt when the father heard the mother calling him.
"Dad,,, Dad, Dad,,, Dad,,, Dad,, Dad,,," Mom shouted.
The voice of the father speaking came to a halt when he heard Mother shouting her name. Dad began to head for the sound with a limp followed by Larissa.
" What's wrong, Mom?". Ask Dad.
" How do we prepare for tomorrow? Can you help me peel an onion?" Said Mom asking for help.
"Don't bother mom. To eat tomorrow too we are not too many people. Didn't Mr. Azka already make the catering for tomorrow's event. Because only two families attended?". Answer Dad
" It's not so Dad. We also have to give them a meal. Let us give you meat soup, Mother has bought it from the money Mr. Azka once gave us". Mom's lawful.
Mother smiled happily because she remembered the kindness of Mr. Azka. Larissa seems ordinary with her mother's behavior. Dad started to help peel the onions followed by Larissa. From the kitchen they began to prepare dishes for the wedding tomorrow Larissa and Mr. Revan Kurniawan Wijaya.
The food they were cooking was finished. The fragrant aroma that is very appetizing will spice the kitchen that is ready to cook Mother for tomorrow morning. Larissa started to return to her room. Dad started back to the living room followed by mom. Mother who saw on the table saw the paper bag seemed amazed by the thing.Mom began to ask
" Is this dad ?" Said the mother who pointed at the paper bag .
" This is an item given by Mr. Azka's son. His name is Revan Kurniawan Wijaya.
"Kok put it here anyway. If it is lost, how? You are not too painstaking stuff just haphazard". Say Mom to Dad.
" Okay, Dad, I'll put it in our room". Say mother.
She started bringing things into her room. Dad smiled happy to see the full name of his future son-in-law.Although father does not know his physical form. But I kept thinking well of Tuhanya. Remembering Mr. Azka from a kind and handsome family. His descendants must have been so too . Think of me with Positive thinking.
The day began to show at 20:00 p.m. Dad, Mom, and Larissa started to head for the kitchen. There they spent dinner and chatted with each other. Mom comforts Larissa so as not to look nervous for tomorrow. Although I know Larisssa does not know how the physical of her future husband.
Same with mom and dad. They don't know how it came to be. But father and mother always pray for good for their daughter. Larissa seems to have no appetite when it comes to eating good food. Mother understood that. Because I thought Larissa was thinking about the wedding day tomorrow.
"Cock eat a little bit, son?. The rest of the meal you puters on the fork just mom pay attention.What is the cuisine Mom does not taste good?" Ask mom enthusiastically.
I started to look at Larissa. Larissa could only smile and say.
Larissa's not good at eating Mom. Larissa was full. Larissa better get ready for tomorrow. Isn't Larissa's wedding day tomorrow what mom and dad want". Larissa's words cornered Dad with her nanarist gaze.
Dad started to smile and held Larissa's shoulder.
"May your marriage be your last. May you be the family of Sakinah, Mawadah, and Warahmah. Mom and Dad always pray for you. I'm sure Mr. Azka must repay the kindness your grandparents gave you. My Prayer to Larissa
" Aamiin's. Hmm,,,". Larissa Sahut
Mr. Azka is excited to return the Budi from your grandmother's and grandfather's family Larissa". Say it firmly.
" It's true that Larissa. Mr. Azka is from a good family. I was so sure of him that you would definitely become a person later on. You can lift the degree of life from our family. Is not our family of the poor. Until finally God presents Mr. Azka to lift our degrees. Come on, Larissa sacrificed a little for this family. I really pray for you for the good of this marriage" Mother assured Larissa with all her soul and body.
Again Larissa's mind was imagined about her marriage. But Larissa always thought well of her Lord. Larissa thought that this person's presence was God's choice. A person who is able to accept his shortcomings and advantages. Larissa is motivated to live better.
Larissa is very determined to turn the Wheel of Life in her family.Larissa is the only child child of a couple Mujahideen and Erna Mother. A young married woman of eighteen years old . Larissa who sacrificed herself to raise the rank of both parents by marrying a man who was enthroned and blessed.
" She,,,,. Lassie,,,,". Mom called him twice. Larissa began to wake up from her daydream.
"Well, what's wrong, Mom?" Ask Larissa
"That's where mom found the stuff upstairs in the living room. Dad said it's his thing for tomorrow. It contains as you are, There is a pair of rings and a set of prayer tools. Do you want to take her to your room ?" Said Mother asking.
" No need Mom, just put it in Mom's room. Larissa just wait for tomorrow. Make all plans for tomorrow. Larissa just according to what mom and dad said". Say Larissa softly.
" All right then. I'll keep it in my room. May you be happy tomorrow for the marriage that has been agreed upon by the family of Mr. Azka and your father". Said Mom patting Larissa on the shoulder and strengthening her there.
" I want it to feel like Larissa is crying and rejecting this marriage in front of your parents. But Larissa must be able to sacrifice herself to raise the level of her family's life. Even the sense of unwillingness he put away to lift the degree of Larissa family life.
Dinner's over Mom started washing dishes. Dad started going to the living room to watch TV. Larissa just wanted to go back and be in her room. Every now and then from the edge of the bed Larissa looked Beautifully at the dress. She began to approach the dress and shed tears there. I had a lot of feelings for Larissa there.
Want Larissa to say marry the man she loved later in life. Who is this man that he will love ?Even Larissa never knew what falling in love was like? Eighteen years old is Larissa. But Larissa never dated anyone. It was said that Larissa was very determined in her heart to be able to marry the man of her choice. Not from the parents' choice.
But dear thousand dear .That determination must be buried Larissa for the sake of beating the will of his parents. Suddenly, there were clear details from both of her eyelids. The sadness that makes Larissa cry is now beside a beautiful wedding dress with its charm.
