"S. I received the marriage of Chayra Azzahra bin Arianto Putra Akmal with the dowry in cash." Ardian chest felt rumbling when he managed to recite the qobul with one breath. Suddenly he shuddered after saying that sacred contract.
RIGHT..!!
The loud screams of the witnesses made Ardian can breathe a sigh of relief.
Chayra who was sitting next to him did not lift her face in the least.
"Mm. Her bride tried to lift her face. It is halal now. Want to look at each other for a long time will not get sins, instead." The words of Pak Penghulu managed to make Chayra raise her head slowly.
"Handam first with his halal partner." Connect again.
Ardian smiled sinisterly as he thrust his hand before Chayra.
Chayra ventured to look at the man who was already her husband. Giving a gentle smile as she grabbed Ardian's hand and kissed him.
Ardian was electrocuted to find Chayra's treatment on him. He thought the girl would pull his hand away and ignore him. However, he even misbehaved, immediately pulling his hand from the girl's grasp.
Chayra gave a sincere smile again. Even though her eyes looked puffy, the girl managed to hide her feelings. She looks happy with this marriage with her fake smile. Release Ardian's hand slowly.
Ardian immediately shifted his gaze. The sting was still felt when the girl smiled back earlier. Swallowed his saliva in confusion with Chayra's attitude.
After the show is over..
Santi hugged his daughter very tightly. Sobbing while stroking Chayra's head. "Marriage trials are waiting for you, son."
"Please pray, Mom. May God always give me the patience to live this marriage. Ayra knows it's heavy. It's not the best option either. But, Ayra is sure there will be wisdom from Ayra's choice. Thank you, I've supported Ayra for Ayra's choice." Chayra let go of her embrace. She wiped away her mother's tears that were still flowing.
Ardian just looked down on the sofa listening to the complaints of the mother and child who were crying in front of him.
Ms. Renata approached her son and whispered something.
"Mommy.." said Ardian slowly.
"You, Ardian." Slightly glared at him with a threatening tone.
Ardian grunting. "Always threaten.." getting up, he approached Chayra and gently touched her shoulder. "We're going home.."
Reflex, Chayra brushed off the hand as she turned around. "What are you...?" Not continuing his sentence when recalling his current status.
"M. sorry. s. I was accidentally."
Ardian smiled. "Mommy and Papi are going home. They told me to take them too. Because after all, now you're my wife."
Miss Santi grabbed Chayra's shoulder to face her. "Mom's responsibility to you has moved on to your husband, son. Go home with them now."
"I. yeah, Mom. Ayra's gonna get a suitcase."
"The suitcase is in the car." Timpal Ardian without looking at Chayra. Approaching Bu Santi while thrusting his hand. "Ardian pamit, ma'am."
Miss Santi smiled gently. "Yes, Son. Mom tipped Ayra. Teach him he's wrong. Solve problems with deliberation. Now you're married. That means your relationship is also limited. I hope you can be a good priest for your only daughter. Rest assured, if all this happens because Allah wills. Allah has betrothed you through the calamities that have occurred. Hopefully in the future it can be better.
Ardian smiled. Actually he wants to say God willing. But, somehow he forgot about the words. Just scratching his head while glancing at Bu Santi.
"Be careful on the road, son." Miss Santi let Ardian kiss her hand for a long time.
"Assalamualaikum, ma'am."
"Wa'alaikumsalam.." Santi's mother has let go of her daughter. Taking a deep breath as he continued to watch the car slowly leaving his yard.
No one wants to open a conversation in the car. Chayra kept staring out the window. Ardian pretends to be busy with his phone. There was nothing he could see on the phone because it was a new phone. His old phone had been taken off his papi.
Sucipto accidentally changed his son's phone. Complete with a SIM card replacement. Only family members' contacts are stored on the phone.
Ardian grumbled in annoyance. Amira's cell phone number doesn't work. How he's gonna call that woman now.
"Why grumble? Don't like me being here?" Chayra asked without taking her eyes off.
"Eh, ng.not like that. I don't care if I'm here or not." Reply Ardian. His arrogance turned out to have returned to his owner.
"I'm just asking you. If you don't like me I'm here. I'm gonna get out of this car."
"Eh, don't act silly. Do you want to see me being hacked into by Papi?" For the first time he stared at the woman while in the car.
Chayra gave a gentle smile again. Of course Ardian again felt like he was electrocuted because of it.
"As you said. I don't care." Chayra glared at his eyes. Looked at Ardian sharply. "Sir, stop the car!" Chayra said without loosening her sharp gaze.
"Eh, uh, no, sir. We have to get home before Papi and Mami get there. You remember, Mami's message."
"Yes, Sir. But, you better stop arguing."
Both Chayra and Ardian were shocked to hear the driver's remark. Slowly they turned their head in unison towards the driver with astonished gazes. Ardian did not know the driver because of the new driver.
The driver nodded slowly. "The new bride is usually not like the Master and Miss. They will usually hold hands and look at each other gently. Give each other a warm smile on their partner."
"I'm sorry if I was rude. But, I think you two are a unique couple that is rare in this world. Usually, this is a couple who miss each other far away."
Chayra's stomach immediately felt nauseous to hear the speech of the Driver who sounded pretentious.
With Ardian. The man looked up and looked like a fool. "Are you married yet?" Suddenly asked.
"I mean Sir?" The driver asked back.
"Yes, who else. We're just three of us here." Ardian rolled his eyeballs. "Wait, wait, whose name you used to be. It's a new driver, right? Papi always wears his old driver."
I think Ardian is relapsing again. The man was very difficult to speak in a better language. His association made him accustomed to speaking in a relaxed language.
"Sorry before, sir. I am not a new driver. I work as Mr. Sucipto's personal assistant. My name is Jaka Rakata. I am usually called Jaka. Since Mr. Sucipto asked me to be his bridal driver today. So, I can't refuse because the one asking is my boss." Jaka opened the black glasses from earlier covering his eyes.
Ardian was silent. His eyes looked at Jaka from behind. It is fitting that the man does not wear the uniform of the driver like his other papi driver. It turned out that the man was her papal assistant.
Ardian rubbed his nape. He was amazed by the man in front of him. He looks very young and handsome. He even claimed to have worked at the company. Jaka looks younger than him. But the man was able to work. Unlike her who still puts her hands on her papi and mama if she needs anything.
There was no more conversation after Jaka introduced himself. They were all silent until finally the car stopped in the front garden of the large house owned by the Ardian family.
