The knock on the door woke Kanaya who was still asleep from exhaustion crying all night.

Kanaya opened the door and let her mother in.

"Look at your eyes, nduk. Swelling all. Let me get you some warm water for the compress." said the mother worried because today is her daughter's wedding day.

Kanaya nodded slowly. He felt very uninspired today.

After the mother came out of the room, Kanaya made the bed. He pulled over the suitcase and backpack he had finished packing yesterday.

Soon after, Kanaya's mother came in with a basin of warm water and a small towel.

"Here nduk mom help compress."

"Sir, are you happy?" ask the mother with tears.

"Come, mom. Nay obviously didn't want to see you get sick again. If Nay has to sacrifice his feelings, Nay is sincere mom. Maybe it's the fate Nay has to live with."

Kanaya and the mother hugged tightly. The two try to strengthen each other.

In the living room had gathered some relatives of Pak Karno's family. There are uncles, aunts, cousins and nephews. They will all witness the marriage pledge between Kanaya and Galih.

On the front porch, there are some guests who were deliberately invited, namely the head of RT, RW, village elders and some close neighbors.

While in the kitchen, there are some people who help with cooking and preparing simple dishes for guests and families.

"Sir, try calling again dibyo. It's what time it hasn't come" the mother reminded. The clock in the living room already shows the number 9.45.

"Assalamualaikum." cried a voice from outside.

The people who were present in unison answered the greeting. All eyes were on Galih and his entourage. Mr. Dibyo came with some of their relatives.

"Sorry, we came late" said Mr. Dibyo, feeling bad for having made everyone wait.

The two brides-to-be sat side by side in front of the ruler while Mr. Karno as the guardian of Kanaya took his place in front of the groom.

Kanaya. Her face was slightly hidden behind a white veil dangling down the side of her face. There are tears in there. The girl's heart and mind were fixed on Reino.

I'm sorry, Reino. Maybe this is the end of our love. May you get the best soul mate you can have completely, Kanaya said in her heart, giving the best do'a for the person she loved so much.

"alright. Everyone is gathered here. Let's just start the show." said pak Penghulu open the event.

Everyone nodded in agreement. There are tense faces of people who will witness the sacred event.

Galih with a traditional Javanese clothing suit Timuran black with a gold-colored pattern looks very handsome. Some of Kanaya's relatives were whispering about the groom's charm.

"It is fortunate that Kanaya can be such a handsome soul mate" said one middle-aged woman who is still a relative of Mr. Karno.

"He was also the son of a rich man loh mbakyu. His father was the one who financed heart surgery in Karno." said another woman.

The conversation between the two women was stopped when the ruler began to lead Mr. Karno to express his pledge as the legal guardian of Kanaya.

"I married and I married you Galih Pramudityo bin Sudibyo Pramono with my daughter named Kanaya Anggraini bint Sukarnomo with a dowry a set of prayer tools and a gold ring 50 grams paid tu-nai." exclaimed Mr. Karno loudly while shaking his handshake with Galih.

All eyes were on him. A beautiful woman with a high stature looks are trying to adjust her breathing to return to normal and can talk. Galih looked very surprised.

"Samira???!" exclaimed Galih as if he could not believe his vision.

The woman named Samira also entered and walked closer to Galih.

"Yes, Galih. Its me. I'm back for you!"

"But how is that possible? Didn't your father ever accept me?"

"Papa's got our blessing, Galih. That's why I came here. I don't want you to marry another girl!"

Everyone present in the room looked at each other in surprise.

What's the matter? Why is it like a scene in a soap opera? their inner compact.

"Decision! What the fuck?? You don't understand!" exclaim sir Dibyo shy.

However, Galih looks the opposite. He stood up and brought Samira to his father.

"Sir, this is Samira. She's the woman I've loved so much for a long time." I'm honest. Her eyes were a little teary as she still could not believe that Samira was in front of her right now.

"explain it. You really don't understand, le!"

Samira's approaching.

"I'm sorry om. Actually me and Galih have been dating for quite a long time. However, when I conveyed Galih's intention to marry me a year ago, my papa was furious. He rejected Galih outright because he felt that Galih was inappropriate for me. Papa separated me and Galih. He threatened not to acknowledge me as a child if he chose Galih. At that time I could not meet Galih because papa took care of me tightly until I finally gave up on the situation. Galih can no longer contact me om." at length Samira recounted the incident she experienced.

Calibration filled. It turns out that all this time the assumption was wrong. She did not think Samira still loved her.

"So you still love me, Samira?"

Samira turned to face Galih with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Of course, Galih. When I heard that you were getting married for an arranged marriage, I came straight here. I don't want to lose you a second time." said Samira Lirih make people around him feel pity.

Galih approached, clutching Samira's fingers to give her strength.

Meanwhile, Kanaya's family looks shocked. Kanaya's mother immediately approached her husband. She was worried that her husband would not be able to accept this shocking reality.

"Sir...Is dad okay?" whispered Kanaya's Mother.

The husband nodded. He was a little shocked, but he felt fine.

"Mother, calm down. Let's see how this ends."

Thankfully, my dad was okay.

Seeing the scene, pak Penghulu felt confused about what to do. He glanced at Kanaya, the bride.

"How are these fathers and mothers, is this marriage to continue or what? Pity this the bride is waiting." exclaimed the ruler reminded.

Mr. Dibyo looked at Galih. There was a gurat of happiness in the eyes of his son, but he realized that happiness was not for Kanaya. Mr. Dibyo stood there, not knowing what to say.

"Let's just keep going, Pengghulu. I'll marry her!" sahut a voice so familiar in Kanaya's ear. Everyone turned their heads toward the source of the voice.

Reino walked in and approached Kanaya's parents.

"I asked my father's permission to marry Kanaya." pinta Reino with serious eyes.

This time it was Kanaya who felt very surprised. He closed his mouth with one hand because he could not believe Reino's request just now.

"W-how is this, ma'am?" asked Mr. Karno looking for answers to his wife because honestly his mind is now in chaos.

"People, let's continue the show." break up the mother is sure. He looked at Kanaya for a moment with a decorative smile on his face.

"Thank God, nduk. It turns out he is your soul mate." said the mother moved.
