The next day, the wedding party was ready. Andara woke up in Sahid's study room with a surprised face when she saw the face of her future husband was beside her.
"Lho, how can he be here?" andara Gumam.
The girl immediately sat down and noticed Sahid's still sleeping face.
"The success of my future husband. I love you, Mister Khan." Andara gives a kiss on Sahid's cheek.
The girl was about to get up but Sahid pulled her hand and brought the girl back to her seat.
"What did you say just now?" ask Sahid who turned out to have been awake since then but still pretended to sleep.
"I-I said what, huh? I don't think I said anything." Andara tried to kink.
"Tell me again or you won't let me go!" exclaim Sahid.
"Didn't you really not want to let me go?" Andara ganged tease.
"Come on Dara.. Tell me again you love me!" Sahid keeps whining.
There was a sound of Mrs Anjani shouting calling the names of Andara and Sahid. The girl immediately stood over Sahid's hand and stepped out of the man's study laughing.
"Review you tonight, yeah! I won't give mercy!" sahid Tuas.
A smile of happiness clearly flashed on his face. A sweet smile adorns the face of Andara immediately when he heard Sahid's words. She stepped cheerfully as she headed for the dressing room and got a bridal makeup.
Shortly after, when Andara had finished, Lady Anjani looked at the beautiful face of the girl in amazement. The makeup of the girl's face was very beautiful with her pamphy body wrapped in a luxurious sari fabric made with gold thread.
Sari is a common dress used by Indian women. Sari consists of a piece of cloth that is not sewn and just wrapped around the body. One end of the sari cloth on the girl's body was draped over the shoulder.
"Well, that's pretty you, son. Do you know this cloth?" ask Mrs Anjani.
"Of course, Madam. This is the fabric of the Madam country, right? Of course I know," said Andara confidently.
"Don't call me Madam again, son. I told you from now on call me Grandma" she asked.
"All right, my dear Grandma .…" Andara hugged the middle-aged woman from the side.
"Haha, do you know Nak Dara why you're wearing a red sari?" ask Mrs Anjani.
Andara shook her head answering not knowing. The middle-aged woman then resumed her speech.
"According to Indian culture, red is considered the most powerful color. It symbolizes fertility, love, and beauty. The color that looks beautiful on your body is also often used as a symbol of a person's personal life, for example married women will have a red mark on their palms called sindoor."
"Oh, that's how it looks."
Andara nodded her head as if understanding.
"Are you ready to marry my grandson Sahid?" ask Mrs Anjani.
"Of course, Grandma, I'm very prepared" he said.
"Thank you, son. Please take care of my Sahid all your heart. Take good care of him, yes," he asked.
"Of course, Grandma."
They then headed to the wedding area together. That day Sahid and Andara will perform kabul ijab with a ruler and two witnesses. Then, after the marriage is considered religiously valid, they will celebrate the marriage with Indian customs.
The first day of the wedding is known as nikaah or in Indonesia commonly called akad. This is the day when two people are united by the sacred bond of Ijab-kabul.
After the procession of ijab kabul penghulu and Sahid took place solemnly, a sense of joy after the agreement was celebrated with the distribution of dates to the visitors. It was intended that the guests can also feel the sweetness of this happy moment.
Andara and Sahid dance enthusiastically with the invited guests. Their wedding ended with a dinner together. The party will continue the next day with excitement that is no less exciting.
...***...
That night in the bridal room that has been decorated with Indian-style wedding luxuries, Andara followed Sahid up to their wedding bed.
"Duh, I just found out that your family-style wedding procession is very tiring" complained Andara.
There is no law from Sahid. Apparently, her husband was lying down beside her. He even snores.
"Sahid! Huh, what kind of first night is this if you are left asleep? Huuuhhhh!"
Andara then stepped annoyed to go to the bathroom to change her sleepwear and clean the makeup on her face.
Meanwhile, Mrs Anjani was already preparing with her plan. He must succeed in getting Sahid and Andara to sleep together and enjoy their first night of the night.
Sahid awoke when Andara lay down on the bed. The man finally got up to the bathroom.
"Sorry, I accidentally woke you up" said Andara.
"Nothing." Sahid went into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, the man who was legally her husband came out of the bathroom and only wrapped in a white towel wrapped around the waist.
"Because, can you dry my hair as usual?" ask Sahid.
"Well, can't dry your own hair?" sudang Andara's.
"What did you say?" Sahid stared in disbelief at the wife's answer just now.
