Trapped in the Shackles of Tradition
Chapter VIII: The Day of Happiness

today is the wedding day between Rama and Rana, the concept of the full event is determined by his extended family.The marriage contract has been completed a few hours ago, just waiting for the night for his reception. the two brides were asked to rest first while waiting for the night time to arrive, and Rama and Rana chose to enter their bridal rooms to change their clothes and rest their bodies from the tiredness of the mind. in Rana's aunt's stilt house, everyone was busy talking because almost all the good families from far away today gathered in one place, while in Rana and Rama's bridal room, they just finished changing clothes. Rana chooses to sleep on the floor with a mat and Rama sleeps in bed. Because they are both in a very awkward condition for them, even though they are cousins, but they are not too close and coupled with their new status as husband and wife is increasingly putting them in a very confusing situation right now. Rana and Rama were both unable to close their eyes, they were busy with their respective thoughts. Right now, they were busy thinking about their partner who was of course very hurt by the decision of the parents. for Rana this marriage is not a happiness, nor is the marriage of her dreams.With this marriage taking place, clearly Rana knows at this time Heru's heart is injured, just like his heart.

while in another place.Heru's current home, he was crying over the fate of his love that ended tragically.love that lasted for years, the love that he maintained even though the LDR-an, had, love is also what now hurt him.he knows how hard the big family Rana, when they have made a decision then the decision will never be contradicted. Heru at this time can only resign and try to mikhlasi the way of love.he should also be able to prepare mentally because later tonight he will attend the wedding of the idol.

*night time has arrived*

tonight Rana and Rama are being decorated by make up artists using traditional regional clothes.really this newlywed couple looks very suitable. if people who do not know their story will definitely argue that they are really the perfect couple.the smile that looks to be lipped both are able to manipulate the situation.they have finished decorating, they have finished, it was time for them to be led to where the event took place.

after arriving at the site, the two couples were led to their wedding, that night they looked like kings and queens last night, now arrived when the guests invited to give greetings to the two brides, there were hundreds of invited guests waiting in line to give greetings to the two brides. and it was time for Heru to walk towards the pelaminan to give a speech. Heru shook hands with Rama, after which he immediately shook hands with Rama as he spoke.

"Rana, don't cry.this is the way of our love.please explain.maybe our destiny just got here.believe me, parents will not be wrong to choose a partner for their child. be a good wife and mother to your husband and children later. Starting tonight our relationship changed status to friends. smile"

while Rana was no longer able to speak, right now only tears were dripping in her eyes.really her mouth was locked because of the turmoil of her heart. indeed he was crying over the destiny of his love that had to end because of the absence of parental blessing.

after Heru finished giving the greeting, he decided to sing as an expression of his fragile heart.Heru finally walked towards the bands and decided to donate a song to both the bride and the entire invited guests.

the song that Heru sang on the night of Rana's wedding.

* receive the last greeting

I hope you are not disappointed

because our love got here

because our love got here

this is not all my will

I am helpless against his will

I am helpless against his will

Turns out Human

I can only plan

But God is the All-Surer of all things

Be patient

My love

May we meet in heaven

May we meet in Heaven *

as long as Heru sings, Rana always cries on her lapel, she does not even care about the gazes of all the families even the invited guests.The current cry explains how much the hearts of both are so hurt. not only Heru and Rana, but Rama was also heavily injured at the moment, but he was also unable to do anything about it, either, Their Rama and Rana are too timid to appease the decisions and traditions that have been going on in their extended families for generations. now they can only cry for their way of life without being able to do anything else.Now the rice has become porridge, their marriage is already taking place.like dislikes, love, now they are legally religious and state as a married couple. Now all they have to do is accept their marriage slowly. because divorce is a very unindicated thing in their families.in their families, divorce is considered a disgrace that is very embarrassing.

we return to the event. after all the series of events are finished. now the two brides have returned to the house of the brother, because their bridal room is deliberately provided in the house of the brother. because Rana does not like to be at his father's house. eventually the big family agreed the bridal room Rama and Rana were at the house of the brother. and now they were in their bridal room to remove the knickknacks of clothes they were wearing earlier. After the two were finished, Rana chose to leave the room and walk towards the two bocil room. because tonight she chose to sleep with her niece instead of sleeping with her husband, while her aunt and older cousin knew they were not sleeping in the same room. but the older brother prefers silence because he knows the hearts of Rana and Rama are both at the moment while injured.wounded by the selfishness of the parents who impose their will. So the older brother prefers silence, and let them slowly learn to accept each other, the older brother would rather they stay with him first than have to live with one of their parents. for sure they will be scolded if they know that they do not sleep in one room.so as long as they prepare the house for them to live in both, the brother does not let them move from his house.

and this night ended beautifully between Rana and Rama. they choose to sleep in different places as they try to give each other their hearts and try to accept the fate that has been written for them
