The happy day came. Yes, that day was Erika and Reyhan's wedding ceremony and reception. Everyone was happy to see the two mismatched brides sitting at the table.
Only Andra was sad to see the two brides side by side facing Mr. Penghulu. After the wedding ceremony, Andra decided to go home. He has no power to endure his grief. Erika belongs to Reyhan.
"Goodbye to Erika's new life! May you be happy forever" Andra murmured as she looked at the two brides. He immediately left the reception hall without wanting to see Erika
Andra packed her things upon arrival at Karin's parents' house. Karin who had just entered the room was astonished to see her husband was packing.
"Where are you going?" ask Karin.
"I want out of this house. I've contracted the house. Whether you want to come or not, I'll leave this house" Andra replied.
Karin who was pregnant young widened her eyes. She felt worried at the age of pregnancy is still vulnerable, no figure of a husband who takes care of her and fulfill all the desire cravings that sometimes strange
"Why do I have to get out of here anyway, Mas? We're guaranteed here," said Karin sulking. Ever since she became pregnant, she has been spoiled for Andra
"We have to live independently. I don't want to live under the control of my in-laws. I'm the head of my family. I have the right to decide my family's life. If you mind, it's up to you. I'm going to go anyway" Andra said, not caring if Karin still stays there.
"Don't stay in Karin, Mas! I'm sorry my parents made me uncomfortable. I go with her wherever she goes" Karin hugs Andra from behind. I don't know why the pregnancy made him not be able to get far from Andra. Karin so obedient to Andra, do not like to argue anymore. It seems like Karin is starting to love Andra.
"Then, let's pack up, my wife," Andra turned around with a smile. He kissed Karin. He was happy, Karin wanted to go with him. Both have accepted their marriage.
Meanwhile, Erika and Reyhan's wedding reception takes place. Reyhan wears a tuxedo, while Erika wears a European wedding dress. This is the bride's dress that is the second time, after Erika this morning and afternoon wearing a modern kebaya.
The reception was entertained by the capital's singers. All the invited guests dissolved in the strains of songs sung by the singers.
"My hubby's. It doesn't feel like yes, I already have a daughter-in-law. I remember how Erika was raised. Full of joy and sorrow. And you strengthened me to live this life together. Thank you for taking care of Erika until she grows up" Mila told Richard.
The concept of the wedding on that night was friendly with the invited guests, making the two brides mingle with guests, including both parents of the bride. The atmosphere became warm and familiar. Already from noon the bride and groom were just sitting at the table receiving greetings from the invited guests. Now they are more free to meet with guests.
The bride and groom's family greet all the invited guests and occasionally chat with them.
"Hey, you guys just poke! Look at our kids! Looks like we're gonna be besan!" Arga approached Mila and Richard who were making out in the corner of the room.
Mila and Richard looked at the direction Arga was pointing. Seen by them Axcel was talking to a beautiful girl child Arga.
"Gee. I'm glad we're gonna get a message. I as a parent only support the children's intentions" Richard said, "But wait until Axcel finishes his education. He also has to continue my efforts."
"Of course, Mr. Richard. My son also had to finish his education first. We have to be patient, ha ha ha..," Arga laughed at the laughs of Richard and Mila.
"Mas, I'm looking around and you're here" Gisel approached her husbands, Mila and Richard.
"You've been to the toilet for a long time. So I came here to see them" replied Arga.
"Let's sit there and enjoy a meal" asked Mila. They went to the light dishes available at the parasmanan table. After taking it, they chatted while sitting in the available seats.
In another corner, Tika and Ronald are enjoying a chicken curry vegetable
"Bang, after this I want siomay yes Bang," said Tika.
"Yes, honey. Finish this food first. Relax, there is plenty of food. It won't run out" Ronald said with a smile. He feels funny, his wife now has a huge appetite. Weight gain by Tikapun.
"Don't laugh. It's the baby's will. Tika also actually does not want to be fat and look ugly," said Tika sulked.
"Yes, honey. Understander. Brother's son is in here to grow up healthy. My wife is still beautiful even though she is pregnant" replied Ronald.
"Ah, you must be lying! Tika's so ugly, isn't he, fat like this?"
The cup!
A kiss on Tika's lips made Tika surprised
"Abang stays in love, no matter what Tika's circumstances. Brother is even more dear because Tika is pregnant with Brother's child,"
"Really Bang?" Tika is like a child who asks for certainty of praise from others.
Tika blushed.
"No, Bang! Tika is ashamed to know that people are on the look. Tika believes it!" a smile from Tika's lips. He touched Ronald's hand.
"Bang, thank you, for being a good husband to Tika. All the trauma of Tika with Tika's husbands that used to be erased because of Abang," Tika said softly.
"Thank you too, because Tika already wants to be Brother's wife. My brother is no longer young. But Tika wants to accept Brother with all the past Brother. Also willing to accept Erika," Ronald looked at Tika while holding Tika's hand back.
"The bride is very compatible, Bang? If only we had met before, of course we would have been together on bail like Erika and Reyhan."
"Did Tika want to sit in the mop like them?"
"Now ah Bang! Tika's just saying if," Tika tried to convince Ronald. But Ronald felt sorry. Highlighting Tika's eyes implied a pent-up desire. Their marriage at that time did not use a guarantee because of the status of those who were widows and widows.
"Yes, let's go up to the pelaminan!" take Ronald.
"Well, Bang? The bride was also downstairs with the guests," Tika was astonished.
"Come, let's go there!" Ronald pulls Tika's hand to follow him.
After being in the guarantee, Ronald invited Tika to sit in the guarantee. Not to forget he called the photographer to take pictures of them. Ronaldpun grabbed the microphone.
"Sorry, everybody. My wife is pregnant. I want to fulfill my wife's cravings. Son Erika and Reyhan, let Papa and Mama be together at this party so that your Mama is happy. You guys don't want your sister to be reelingan later?"
Ronald's words alone made the invited guests look at Ronald and Tika. They smiled and clapped.
The photographer immediately captured the moment. The photographer photographed Ronald and Tika sitting in the courtyard.. They also directed several photo poses.
Richard's family, Arga's family and Gerypun's family rise to the brink approaching them.
"Your photos are not complete without a photo with us" Gery said.
"You should know your compensation is sitting there. You have to take pictures with your extended family" Richard spoke.
"Okay, who's afraid? Let's take a picture!" ronald smiled broadly.
They were all getting ready to pose for pictures together.
"Wait on! You forgot us! That's ours! Papa should hire on us!" reyhan shouted that was holding Erika's arm.
"Ha ha ha! Come on, come on, come here, boy! The real bride is forgotten! Come here, boy!" Ronald told them to go up to the sewers.
When they are ready, they take photos together like a big family. That day was not just a photo, but in their hearts came the happiness of being a big family. It's not just blood relationships that can only make each other hooked. But a loving relationship between them makes their relationship a family one.
All their problems in the past have melted away with their happiness into a big family.
Arga and Mila who have no family are happy to have a brother who can help each other and strengthen them. Richard who from childhood feels alone now feels happy he can feel the family a lot. Gery who has long lost her biological brother is happy because now has a brother to share her joys and sorrows.
"Cheers to our extended family!" Ronald gave me a cue.
"Cheers!" shout all.
Czechoslovakia!
The photographer photographed the happy family.
