“I received marriage and marriage Inoxu Aisyah Putri Suryanagara bint Kalantara Equator Suryanagara with dowry a set of prayer tools and precious metals 12.08 grams paid in cash ...”

***

I grimaced not only because of the cold air and raindrops that hit my face, but also because of the memory that brought me two weeks ago in a building to do the process of kabul ijab and reception.

I still vividly remember the moment where Bang Win looked at me and I did the same to him. Seeing her in a bridal suit made me, Gia, and Remi stunned because they were used to seeing her look casual. His appearance that day was so different! Previously, Gia and Remi who were beside me were similarly shocked when they saw my appearance. I made a full appearance that day in a lacy black kebaya with a sprinkling of white pearls.

The building where the wedding and reception were held was a gift from Rebel Tea. The owner of Radio Rebel provides the building, complete with decoration, live music stage until full catering with several additional food booths. Investigators have a search, at first Bang Win did intend to rent the building owned by Teh Rebel, so from the beginning it was listed in our wedding invitation. However, Rebel Tea waives all costs and considers it a wedding gift. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend because he was in Canada with his family for the winter break.

Right after the kabul ijab process, we became queens and kings all day who had to stand on a lap. Unaccustomed to it, Bang Win and I agreed to replace our shoes with shoes that eventually helped a lot, as we descended directly from the underwriting to greet the friends and relatives present. Not to forget, we sang along when some fellow musicians came and donated songs at our wedding.

A sad moment occurred in the afternoon when my mother and Nyx and Bang Win's extended family, including my four in-laws, said goodbye. After marriage, I will live in a house owned by Bang Win which is located not too far from Radio Rebel.

After reassuring me that he would look after my mother as best he could, Nyx patted Bang Win on the shoulder and asked him to take good care of me as well. Strange thing, because Nyx behaves like an older brother who lost his sister but in a happy moment.

His salvation today I think because of the presence of Remi who has looked to recover as usual. There are many things I am grateful for in silence. The gathering of two extended families, friends and friends who are present in good health without one less and a strand of prayer to start our new life.

The awkwardness occurred when we arrived at Bang Win's house in the condition of just the two of them. We started the conversation with Bang Win who spoke formal and I who spoke casual. Although for some people it feels strange because Bang Win still often speaks formally to me, but it is not a problem. I didn't demand that he change, nor did he.

We spent time doing the worship together, then ate the catering food we brought from the building and talked lightly until midnight. And yes, the next intimacy just happens like running water even though it feels stressful. In the end I realized that I liked our first night ritual.

"Remain's own smile Mrs Win?" greet someone right at the entrance who is none other than my own husband.

"This sir, would like to pick up Mr. Win Patriadi. I have a lunch appointment with him, all want to take his grandmother to the airport," said I flat that made him laugh.

"This is coming in, outside it's drizzling," he continued, embracing me.

Gubrak gubrak!

The cynical eyes of Kang Utep and Adul in unison shook the receptionist chair to be the first thing I saw as soon as I entered.

"Yes in Inoxu Tea. Kan broadcast mah ada Aduk times ah, a long leave anyway," said Adul with a clear face. "Bikin kepengen follow-up marriage will be."

"Temenin I broadcast," said Bang Win ignored their words and looked at me gently and took off his embrace on my shoulder. Instead, he took me in to get into the studio.

I was sitting right in the chair next to Bang Win when he was broadcasting. His right hand, which did not escape from my hand, felt firmly grasped, as he read out a message from the listeners of Radio Rebel who congratulated our marriage with a line of prayers to become a family of sadinah mawaddah warahmah.

"Do you want to run out of the airport?" tanya Bang Win quickly after turning off the mic when the listener request song played.

"You!" seruku.

"Where are you going?"

"Where are you from," I reply to the point which is reciprocated with rarity. He slowly got up and lowered his head to embrace me from behind the chair I was sitting in.

"Makasi has been present in my life," he said softly and stammering.

"Cie, start me-me now," I quipped, ending up with her hand shuffling my hair gently.

I smiled again as Bang Win restarted the broadcast. Occasionally holding back laughter, when there are readers who are disappointed because of the news of our marriage. Within an hour, the broadcast was over and Bang Win rested his head on my shoulder.

"I'm calmer now. Can keep you full if the malem broadcast," he said with his eyes closed.

"Youngawong! This time let me alone," I relaxed.

"Religious. As long as you're with me, you'll never be alone again. Never will, Oxu," he added.

I close my face and kiss her forehead gently. Unexpectedly, Bang Win even replied to him with a kiss on the lips. "You belong to me one," he continued briefly.

I looked at him moved. Really, my heart is full of haru even if I don't show it.
