My Love is Blocked Custom
Chapter 70

The Lion family's entourage began to move closer to Diana's house. Arak arakan sounds very lively, with the chant of shalawat, and the sound of tambourines that are earthy. Adat still really feels very thick, until finally Lion was taken over by two girls assigned to the Diana family.

Lion was taken to the front of Diana's house. Where there he was awaited by someone who was also assigned by the Diana family to welcome the arrival of their future daughter-in-law. The woman, who was no longer young, began to splash water on the Lion, with seven counts

"Sai, ghua, telu, sir, five, six, pitu. Ghepa yos ni way sinji, gheno muneh yos ni hati mattu ni Pak Sutan sai appai sappai ji" (One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. How cool is this water, so is the heart of Mr. Sutan's newly arrived ghost)

After finishing with a welcome speech in the form of a lampung pantun, or called wayak. Finally the woman reached out her hand to greet Lion. Lion immediately welcomed the woman's hand, and followed her into Diana's residence. While the friends and extended family have been directed to go to a house that is intended for them during the wedding procession.

After completion, now both Lion and Diana are led by several village girls and Gita, to go to the house that is intended for the Lion family. A house that was only about two houses away from the Diana residence. They immediately entered the house, where the Lion family had sat with some food dishes that were already available.

The men sit in the middle of the house, while the women sit in the back. After finishing with some customs before eating, they finally all ate the dishes that have been prepared. The atmosphere of true customs is felt

Now that they were done, they returned to Diana's residence. There, Bian and his future wife were sitting together at the temple. Diana and Lion are also directed to sit at the table with Bian and his future wife. The single orgen event begins, and ends at five in the afternoon.

Tonight is the first night of their wedding. Both Lion, Diana, Bian, and Sonya had returned to wearing traditional clothes. The four of them were then directed to sit in the chair that had been provided. While on the left and right they are lined with bachelor girls (muli meghanai) who will carry out traditional sambai

The muli have been wearing a cloth that resembles a sarong, which is combined with a modern kebaya with a variety of colors. The hairstyle used by the conde with several decorations, adds a graceful impression to the Lampung Muli. Around twelve pm, finally the traditional nyambai event was completed.

The three women fell asleep in the same bed until morning. After morning, now Diana and Sonya are back in wearing similar traditional clothes. After that they are invited to return together in a place that has been provided. Not to forget, some muli meghanai who are Tribes of the Diabatinan their families also wear the wedding dress custom to accompany the last procession of the marriage of the son of the Saibatin.

Bian sat in front with Lion, while Diana and Sonya were behind their future husbands. Some of the muli meghanai who have been wearing traditional wedding clothes, are now sitting on the left side of both bride and groom. Once everything is ready, now the event will begin. Starting from the marriage contract of Bian and Sonya who Alhamdulillah went well, now it is the turn of agreement for the marriage of Lion and Diana

"Lion Alexander Baskara bin Haris Baskara I marry you to my daughter Erawasti Diana Nobles bint Sutan Bangkawan with mascarwin a set of twenty-four-carat gold jewelry, money worth one billion rupiah, and a house paid in cash"

"I accept marriage and marriage Erawasti Diana Nobles binti Sutan Bangkawan with mascawin paid in cash" Lion said qabul with one breath

"Ghepa ajo" (Where?) ask the two witnesses

"Adu pas nihan ano, nyak kawa nge-sah kenni" (Udah pas, I am willing to confirm it)

"Alhamdulillah"

The event continued with the reading of a short letter from each of the muli meghanai who wore the customary clothes. Upon completion, the event was closed with the awarding of the title (Adok) of repentance to Bian, his wife and several other Tribes of Diabatinan. After going through a series of marriage customs, finally both Bian and Sonya, and Diana and Lion have legally become married couples"
