Rania's Invisible Search
PART 156 WEDDINGS WATI.
This morning we all woke up feeling very upset. There is no happiness on everyone's face. Even Wati himself looked more and more moody. Now it is her wedding day. Many invited guests were present, and the family of the bride and groom had arrived. Mr. Mitro's extended family looked like royalty. From his looks and also his appearance, showing if they were all not ordinary people. I watched one of the guests present. And there was a face that looked familiar to me. Although his face was faintly visible, because he was covered by the guests who came. I grew curious, and approached a stranger in my eyes. As soon as I got nearby, the person smiled through the corner of his lips. Seeing me with a triumphant smile.
"So you apparently, red didn't see it wrong." He said while screeching.
"Bu Kartika? So you're part of Mr Mitro's family?" I said with a loud roaring breath.
"Why is Rania? Do you feel threatened because your cousin will be part of our family?" Ms. Kartika walked around me, her gaze keenly looking at me with full plan.
"It turns out the red one is your pet. And your family really did..." I didn't finish saying anything, Miss Kartika forced me to shut up by putting her index finger in front of my lips.
"Be a sweet child for today only Rania. If you don't want everyone you love to get into trouble. Look at your cousin getting married to my niece soon, so you too will be a part of my family. What's the point of you arguing everything? Since we're going to be relatives, shouldn't you interfere in my affairs anymore. Whatever will happen to Purnama, from this second also no longer need you to interfere. That crazy woman should have been gone a long time ago. If his twin doesn't interfere with my business. Even after that female demon went to hell, you were the hindrance to me!" Said Bu Kartika with a sharp look at me.
Before long Mama came to me, she asked me to sit near Wati. Now Mama is facing directly with Bu Kartika. She shook Mama's hand while introducing herself as the bridegroom's aunt. I just took a deep breath, then I left the two to chat.
"Where are you from Ran! Poor wati from earlier was nervous, dry cold kept him!" Mbak Ayu shouted hooking the two eyebrows.
"Gue had met Bu Kartika, it was the owner of the red. Her stepmother is Mr. Boss I'm Mommy!"
"Where is Ran?" Sahut Lala was also curious.
Mbak Ayu and Lala go looking for Bu Kartika. Both of them wanted to see his face.
"That was talking to Mama!" I said as I looked up my head.
"But the red one isn't around here Ran said. It's not like you said he'd follow her wherever the owner went!"
"Where are you going La?" Ask me a curious.
Lala replied that she wanted to say hello to Kartika, and took Mama away from the vile woman. Me and Ma'am Ayu just sat behind Wati. My Pakde who works in the ocean must go home to marry his only daughter. He even continued to shed tears, seeing the fate that Wati had to endure. Next to Wati a young man sat down with a smile. There was no burden of thought at all from the look on his face. It still looks childish. Even all the invited guests who came began to gossip about their second household life later. I know for sure Wati also heard all the grapevine. That's why he just lowered his head. I whispered in his ear, so that Wati could face all these trials.
Now they are ready to marry the two. I don't know why I can't see that sight. I chose to leave that sacred event. My heart has no power to see my brother's life crumble after him.
I sat under the mango tree hiding my tears from everyone. I tried to hold back my tears, but it was too heavy to hold everything. Finally, the clear hairs wet my cheeks. I cried in silence, my heart was so bitter to see the sacrifice of Wati so great. I can't imagine what life would be like after this wedding. Moreover, he had to live in the family home of Mr. Mitro.
"Patience Nak. Mama knows you're hard watching Wati have this wedding. That's why Wati once asked you not to attend it. So now strengthen your heart, accompany Wati for the last time. After this he will leave this house, and you will never get as close as you used to." Mama kissed my forehead while rubbing my hair lovingly.
"Maa... Rania can't see Wati living with the family. They not only have a pet but also a magical creature, which can hurt Wati at any time!"
"God, baby, everything will be fine. As long as we surrender to God and always pray for him. Trust me, God will always help his servant."
Mama wiped my tears, then took my hand back to the middle of the event. Ijab kabul has been read. It took a long time for the bridegroom to pronounce his hijab. Wati was hugging her parents with tears. Now that he looked at me with love, he tried hard by hiding his sadness. Wati put her smile on me while nodding her head. My legs seemed to be lightly slumped into his embrace, and I held his body tightly. Wati asked me to smile in front of everyone, because he did not want to have sad memories with the people he loved. Then Ayu and Lala approached us and hugged each other.
"From now on, whatever happens in your life, we'll help you as much as Wat can. Yeah, yeah gaes?" Mbak Ayu said as he smiled his smile.
Lala and I nodded their heads. We must all stand up to this great ordeal. Pramono Sujatmiko, the man who was looking for Wati, came to us and pulled the hand of the woman he had just married. Wati gasped at her husband's behavior. But suddenly Pramono acted like a child. He asked us all to play hide and seek, and Wati had to be on guard. Before long a middle-aged woman in an old-fashioned kebaya dress came to him, and explained that now was not the time to play.
"I'm sorry, Mas Pram is still childish. He doesn't understand the situation, if he's just been someone's husband. Introduce me Mbok Genuk, who nurtured Mas Pram since he was a child. Mbak Wati calm down, after this I will still help Mbak take care of and keep Mas Pram. So there's no need to be a burden on the mind, if it's acting like a child." Says it in a friendly manner.
I only smiled, and shook Mbok Genuk's hand and introduced myself. From the aura emanated by him, it seemed like this Mbik Genuk was no ordinary person. I can feel another power within her, there's no way she's just an ordinary babysitter.
