Two days before H, Asti's house is getting crowded. A group of workers from the company who rented party equipment arrived. They set up a tent in the yard next to the house left which is quite spacious, also in the vacant land to the right of the house Asti.
The front terrace of the house will be used as a place for the implementation of kabul ijab, starting to be laid out. But Ms. RT asked the place to be given a curtain cover, on the front fence so that the event felt more sacred.
The workers also arranged several flower pots belonging to Asti that contain ornamental plants to add green accents and more aesthetic.
Ninuk and Izzah started sifting through the sovenir. They will provide special codes for special invited guests and male family guests will be given a sovenir packed in a blue colored cloth bag. As for guests from the neighbors and relatives of Asti will be prepared sovenir-shaped plastic wallet from uniquely packaged waste. The souvenir is in the form of a pencil case, wallet or lipstick place.
The division of the sovenir became the duty of Ninuk. Because he is very familiar with the faces of the neighbors and family relatives who are included in the invitation list.
" This Asti ma'am has a shipment from the covenant shop again!" Cetus Ninuk's.
Mr. Leon ordered again to be given to the neighboring mothers and friends of Ninuk who had helped them in the preparation of this event. Limited amount. So that stuff has to be stored first.
The sovenir is in the form of a woman's bag made from the creation of hyacinth leaves. Like a big bag for mothers who can be brought to teach also sling bags to use the streets.
The neighboring mothers that afternoon were even engrossed in sitting - sitting on the terrace of Asti. To see the workers of the caterer who were decorating the buffet table and the huts for food. They give wave decoration or folds on the tablecloth to cover the bottom with a blend of white and navy blue fabrics. Their work is quick and professional. Do not forget to give the end of the table with two vases containing live flower arrangements as a monitor.
" That's great, Madam Asti!" Whisper Bu RT amazed.
Though Asti often see the arrangement of the dining table like this when attending some invitations. Usually in the building and in the hotel, Asti received the invitation from some relatives who still appreciate the existence of the Winangun family.
Asti just called Mbak Dian to apply his makeup naturally, so as not to pale when photographed. Mr. Leon also agreed, because his future wife would only wear kebaya and batik cloth modified like hijab with ivory color.
Not a wedding dress made of brocade or lace filled with sequin or Swarovski rock.
The dress for the kabul event was booked specifically on Bu Shawa, the owner of his subscription convection. Of course, the woman was happy to have gained such trust.
Currently, dresses for hijab women are increasingly varied only the model. But still a little, the owner of a sewing business makes a special kebaya bride for hijab women.
This is because the use of Javanese kebaya is identical to the pieces of cloth sewn to fit the body in its use to make it look beautiful. Not to mention if the kebaya is made of brocade or tile that glares. All the clothes are certainly not comfortable if the bride is hijab.
Bu Shawa documented the making of the hijab from starting sheets of cloth, sewing patterns, to become pieces of Islamic kebaya syar'i and long batik cloth as its equivalent. The clothes were already put on the mannequin.
Even the response and response of people is quite good when the photo and video is aired on one of its social media.
Even Shawa's mother will ask for a photo when Asti will wear the kebaya on her wedding day. She believed the wedding dress would be a success. Because Asti with the dress will be very harmonious and fused.
During this time, Asti left all the affairs of the dress in the hands of Bu Shawa who tried to realize Asti's wishes. She just wanted to use a simple wedding kebaya. Moreover, the price is certainly not as expensive as offered by famous boutiques in this area.
Precisely the senewen even bridegroom lakinya. Asti demands nothing. RT Bu was asked yesterday to help Mr. Leon to prepare a dowry for Asti. The woman was willing to go to the city to buy Asti a set of prayer tools, as well as a good Qur'an because her skin was given a cover of a kind of songket cloth.
Men often have trouble sleeping at night. Therefore, he was now heading to Asti's house. Looking at the preparation that is almost complete.
The neighboring mothers have also been competing to prepare their cooking ingredients, for tomorrow's event. In fact, since this afternoon the road in front of Asti's house has been filled with fragrant fragrances as diverse as the aroma of cooking.
" Casual, Leon!" Brisks Pandu's. Ms. Mesya's husband was with her.
They were one family finally able to come, this afternoon and placed in the boarding house of Mr. RT. One neighbor also offered two empty rooms. Because his son migrated to Bekasi and Tangerang, because he worked in a factory in the city.
Gradually they heard the voice of Asti teaching from the master bedroom. The two men looked. Because he knows, Leon's responsibility is even heavier. She will be the head of the family and a priest of the woman who greatly upholds the teachings of her religion.
It was Leon's fault that had always been a hard whip for him. Her life in Jakarta before and after marriage was very wild.
Often in and out of the dugem place before morning, changing partners is almost the same as changing clothes. Until young Leon tries the liquor while his mind is on.
It was at this discotheque that he first met Corinne Fasha. They come as invited guests of a young artist who is celebrating his birthday. It was precisely Corinne who appeared very fashionable, and unpretentious next to her best friend who was celebrating her birthday that night.
The party was getting wild by midnight. Not because the guests looked teller and uncontrollable. Between the glittering lights of the room and the loud sound of music, Leon began to see one or two guests begin to swallow the coplo pills.
As the son of a soldier, Leon greatly guarded the good name of his father. Leon and his two friends immediately got out of the wild party
Fear of razzia. Usually there are only from that person who is idle and will report it to the authorities.
Outside the building they meet with Corinne who is also out of the way. Corinne was drunk too much. He appeared to be circling the parking lot and lost his way to search for his private car. Helped by Leon and his two heroes. The girl was ushered to the loby of her apartment.
Feeling grateful, Corinne searches for information about Leon. The woman gets more interested after knowing her family background. They are not ordinary families. Alya Murti's older brother also does business in fashion. In fact, it already has two boutique outlets in the most luxurious mall in Jakarta.
Through his ingenuity, Corinne managed to get close to Leon. As they met more and more often, they became close and familiar. Especially when Mr. Basuki asked if the youngest was going to start a family. After much deliberation, Leon proposes to Corinne after two years in a relationship.
