When Love
CHAPTER 20
وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
And all things We have created in pairs that you may remember the greatness of God.
(QS. Adz-Dzariyat :49)
----------
" I accept the marriage and marriage of Anindira Maheswari bint Doni Hermawan with the dowry, cash."
Such a loud speech slid smoothly and without the slightest hesitation out from the lips of a Shan. There was no visible nervousness from his body language, as if he was ready for this tense situation. The situation he hoped for was only one time in his life.
The words "Legal" instantly echoed. Everyone is thankful for their marriage.
Now Anin's ring finger has coiled a ring that became her wedding dowry. Anin's feeling thumped as Shan peeked at her forehead. I don't know what's going on inside him. A feeling he couldn't describe.
Anin hugged both her parents with tears dripping down her cheeks. Now he is not a child anymore who can spoil as before, now he has been labeled the wife of Shandika Ali Dimitri. A man who is now his role model.
" Shan, Om handed Anin to you. Please guide her, make her the wife of Soleha. Om trust you, please don't scratch this Om's trust." That was the request of the father to his son-in-law. The girl who used to be in her timang-timang must now be released along with the man who became her life choice.
" Yes Om, Shan will try his best and keep the trust he gave Shan."
" Thank you son, "said Dad hugging his daughter-in-law. The tears that slid from her cheeks added to the sadness in Anin's heart. The father who became her first love, where she took refuge and complained has now been replaced by her husband now.
There is no reception after this, only ijab qabul which indicates they are now legally husband and wife. On this special day Agni and Bimo are the main actors. They looked very happy following the happiness of Anin and Shan who had legitimately become a couple.
Anin sat in a chair staring at her two brothers who were unceasingly smiling. Every now and then he took pictures of their moment togetherness that looks very happy today. Anin checked the pictures on her phone one by one. Slide every slide of the image he has taken. There was one picture that stunned him for a long time looking at. Poto herself along with Shan while on top of the guarantee. Without a smile on her lips.
Anin did not realize that his behavior was constantly noticed by Shan since earlier. Tucked away the intention to tempt his wife. Shan also came to Anin who was sitting alone there.
" What do you see smiling like that?" tanya Shan who made Anin shocked and immediately hid his phone.
" Nothing" Anin replied.
" What are you hiding behind you?" shan asked furrowed his forehead while glancing at what Anin had hidden behind him.
" Nothing, just a cell phone."
" I know, but what's in it until you figure it out."
" What the hell," said Anin turned his face away.
" You're hiding a man's picture?"
" Yeah!!" Sontak Anin was shocked. " I swear, Anin just saw our picture." Anin immediately realized and closed her mouth because she had said things that she should not have said.
" Our photo???" Shan looked at Anin who still looked in shock. " Oh..." Shan simply smiled without saying anything more.
" No fun!"
" What's the matter?"
" I don't know."
Shan only shook his head to hear Anin's words that impressed the origin.
" Ann...."
" Hm."
" Are you not jealous of your brother?"
" Prisons?"
" Yes, our wedding is just like this, there is no reception at all, are you not envious of Agni?"
Anin shook her head. " Not at all, isn't the lawful word more important."
Shan smiled as well. " Do you have any dreams about your marriage?"
" It's just a simple dream, getting married somewhere quiet and just being in the family, just like that."
" Well, someday, I'll make that dream come true."
" Shan, I want to tell you something."
" What about?"
" On the terms I asked you a while ago."
" What's the matter?"
" Don't I ever say there's no relationship.husband-wife."
" then?"
" I'm just not ready yet."
" I understand, I wouldn't force you to do it either, but...."
" But what?"
" I don't guarantee that I can hold it any longer."
" Ha??" Anin retreated her seat away from Shan. " Don't you promised me that" he said annoyed.
Shan laughed back and forth with Anin's funny behavior.
" When do I promise you?"
" So, just now, why just a minute you can forget, ha!!"
" I...." Shan advanced his body closer to Anin's body which made him instantly flutter.
" Shan what do you want?" tanya Anin stammered.
" You are so funny."Shan laughed at Anin's terrified look.
" Bad evil!!". Anin smacks Shan's body.
" How dare you beat your husband huh.'
" Yes!"
" I then...." Not to mention Shan finished talking, Anin immediately shouted to his mother, Shan quickly smothered Anin's mouth so that no one heard her scream. " Don't yell, they'll think I hurt you."
" Therefore don't be nosy," Anin said in an indistinct voice because Shan's hand was still smothering his mouth.
Shan looked at Anin inside. His face turned serious. Shan brought his face closer and kissed the hand that was holding his wife's mouth. Anin suddenly turned up, in other words Shan was kissing her at this time even though the kiss did not directly hit her lips.
Shan slowly let go of his hand. Their eyes were still looking at each other for a long time, were it not for the sound of Disti's cry, they might not have let go of their sight.
" What are you doing here?" he asked as soon as he saw the newlyweds were sitting together.
" We just sit down, brother," Anin replied as if hit by a Satpol PP nipple.
" You're just interfering" said Shan.
" Well, are you guys making out until I say disturbing," said Disti did not want to lose.
" If so, why?"
" No, we didn't do anything" said Anin, who made Disti and Shan look at him.
Disti's laughing voice echoed for a moment. Shan could only sigh at Anin's behavior which was sometimes beyond his expectations.
" It's marriage is still being rejected as well" said Disti laughing. " Patience Shan" he patted his best friend's shoulder.
Anin became uneasy on her own because of her sudden remark. He did not think at all about the effect of his chirping which made Shan have to stroke his chest.
Disti unceasingly teased her best friend. Seeing them like that made Anin smile. He realized that he was surrounded by good people like them.
" Anne."The voice roused Anin from her daydream. The voice of the man who is now her husband. " Come on," Shan said extending his hand.
" Yes," Anin said, welcoming Shan's hand.
