Today is Nayla and Reza's wedding day. The wedding was held very luxurious in a magnificent building. There were already many guests and invitations present in the building who were all dressed neatly and elegantly. It looks almost all guests appear very luxurious because most of the invited guests are business associates of Mr. Mahendra who from the middle to upper economy. Mr. Mahendra looks very happy to welcome his guests.
”Reza where's Mi?” ask Mahendra to his wife.
“Entar again also up to Pi.”
“Why so long time anyway,” said Mr. Mahendra worried.
“Don't worry about Reza, Pi because his bride hasn't arrived either.”
Not long after Reza appeared and immediately took a seat at the table that had been provided. As soon as she sat in the distance, Nayla came with her family. All the invited guests immediately looked towards him, not to miss Reza either.
Reza was immediately surprised to see the appearance of Nayla who was so graceful in a white kebaya. Her appearance today made everyone see her unblinking due to her beauty. Reza hurriedly turned his gaze the other way.
‘I cannot be tempted by the appearance of the woman. The woman remains a hick woman who is a village,’ Inner Reza.
Then Nayla took a seat right next to Reza. Once the bride and groom are seated, the kabul ijab event will begin soon.
“Where sir, can we start the show?” ask pengghulu sir to Mahendra.
“Iya Sir, please,” replied Mr. Mahendra.
The ijab kabul event was started by pak pengulu by presenting witnesses and judges for Nayla. Nayla who already does not have a biological father and siblings so the one who married is the judge.
“I received marriage and marriage Nayla Warastuti bint Muhammad Gunawan with dowry a set of prayer tools paid in cash,” said Reza loudly to make everyone who heard him feel satisfied and happy.
“Where?” ask pak penghulu in the whole audience.
“Sah.... legitimate...” answer everyone present.
Then the next event is do’a led by one of ustadz. Then Nayla touched her husband's hand. Her heart skipped a beat and her hands trembled as she held her husband's hand and then kissed the back of her husband's hand without seeing his face. While Reza was just ordinary there was not the slightest trembling in his heart. Only she glanced briefly at Nayla's face, ‘turns out this girl is pretty too, or lest she be pretty for wearing make up,’ Reza's inner smile thinly.
After that, the two took turns to greet Reza's parents and Nayla's mother. Nayla cried as she hugged her mother. His feeling was very moved, as well as Ms. Neneng crying.
“Be a good wife and obey your husband son. I can not say anything but pray for you and your small family later, hopefully you are happy to be Reza's wife,” said Ms. Neneng while hugging her daughter.

After the Ijab kabul event is completed, the next event is a wedding party that is made as lively as possible still in the same building. Nayla was tired too when shaking hands with all the invited guests because the number was quite a lot.
From a distance, Reza's friend Dino approaches him.
“Congratulations Za, welcome to a new life with your new wife,” said Dino greeting the bride and groom with a cheerful smile.
Nayla smiles happily while Reza looks ordinary nothing special. Then Dino whispered in Reza's ear that Nayla had heard.
“Isn't your girlfriend Vera, why are you married to another woman?” whispered Dino.
Reza couldn't answer, he just kept quiet.
‘Means mas Reza already has a lover whose name is Vera. Just now the man mentioned Vera's name. Then I've taken Reza's mas from her lover. Why would Reza want to marry me while she already has a lover whose name is Vera,’ Inner Nayla wonder.

After the wedding reception, Nayla was immediately taken home to Mr. Mahendra's house. Nayla one car with Reza, while her in-laws another car. As soon as he reached the home page of Mr. Mahendra, Reza immediately stopped his car.
“You get off first yes, I still have business.” pinta Reza on Nayla.
Nayla immediately grabbed her husband's hand and then kissed Reza's back. Reza was silent even though in his heart he felt his own concern.
“Be careful Mas,” said Nayla while waving her hand.
Once inside the large and luxurious house, Nayla was immediately greeted by a middle-aged woman.
“Please enter mbak Nayla,” said the woman was friendly.
“Whose mother?” ask Nayla wonder.
“I bi Ijah who was assigned by Mr. Mahendra to serve Mbak Nayla in this house. Let's go in Ma'am let me show you Nayla's bedroom. Let the bag let me bring,” pinta the woman.
Arriving in the middle room they met with Mr. Mahendra who just came out of his room.
“Nayla, if you need something caseau bi Ijah yes,” said Mr. Mahendra.
“Good Sir,” said Nayla while bending her body.
“From now on don't call me Father, but call a papi like Reza because from now on you are also our son. Oh yeah Nay, where's your husband?”
“Says out for a while no Pi.” business
“Urusan? Any business. Basic children can not be arranged,” said Mr. Mahendra rather angry.
“Pi, Nayla excuse me first yes,” say Nayla is polite.
“Bi, take Nayla to her room.”
“Good Sir.”
Nayla immediately followed bi Ijah from behind. As soon as she entered the room, Nayla was immediately surprised to see the room to be occupied with her husband. The room is very large and luxurious. All the furniture in the room was Lux. There is a large and luxurious bed. There is also a very soft sofa and a large TV. In the corner of the room was a refrigerator. Nayla who had never seen furniture as good as this was immediately astonished.
“Mbak, clothes I directly stacked in the closet yes,” bargain in Ijah.
“Nevent need Bi, let me just later that compose.”
“Nothing Ma'am, later I was scolded by Mr. Mahendra because I was assigned to serve mbak Nayla.”
Nayla was silent and obeyed. Bi Ijah immediately cleaned up Nayla's clothes in the bag and then put them in the closet.
“Now Mbak rest first yes, I want to go to the kitchen first to prepare dinner,” said bi Ijah who went straight out of the room.
Nayla immediately poured her already exhausted body into that very luxurious bed and fell asleep.

Faintly Nayla heard the sound of the broadcast on TV, then she opened her eyes slowly. Hurriedly she got up and immediately greeted her husband who was sitting on the sofa while watching TV.
“Sorry yes Mas, I fell asleep.”
“Yaudah, it's okay. But next time never sleep in that bed,” said Reza full of emphasis.
Nayla was shocked and silent.
‘Didn't I already be his rightful wife. Why can't I sleep in this bed,’ Inner Nayla is sad.
“But Mas?”
“From today we do sleep one room, but remember we never sleep in bed. You sleep on this couch and I'll sleep on that bed. You should also know that I married you because of Papi's request. So you do not demand much or protest. Our marriage is only on a piece of paper because up until then I will never be able to love you. You're not my type. You are a hick woman who is a village,” said Reza Ketus.
Nayla's heart felt like it was going to be dislodged hearing her husband's confession that was very painful. Although her heart was very sick, she tried to be strong in front of her husband.
‘I can't seem weak in front of Reza because I don't want to be underestimated by him. From this moment I will follow his will because I am sure God will give me a good path,’ Nayla's mind is sad.
