The Contract Husband I Love
12. The Awaiting Day

After making such a sudden and troublesome preparation, finally the long-awaited day arrived.

Friday was chosen for the wedding. July 1, 2022 is the best date for both.

Due to not being able to rent a building located near Gedung Sate because of something, finally Niken and Ardi agreed to hold a reception event on Bumi Samami.

Bumi Samami is one of the venues for weddings that are currently on the rise. Here, you can hold an outdoor wedding that is quite spacious with various facilities.

Bumi Samami is located at Jl. Cigadung Canal No.15, Sekeloa, Coblong District, Bandung City.

This place was chosen because it is in accordance with the concept of marriage that Niken wants, as well as not too long to prepare it.

The guests present were very different. Starting from high officials in Bandung and Jakarta, collagen-collagen that has long cooperated with AP Group companies, the rest came from friends Niken.

Niken is still in his room, while Ardi is in a separate room. The two are separated so that their love is tightened.

Without lingering any longer, after everything was ready. Niken was immediately delivered to a place that will be the blazing of their sacred promise.

Mita who accompanied Niken directly, did not have the power to hold back her tears. For thirty years she took care of and raised Niken, finally today Niken will leave home and live with her husband.

His responsibility to keep Niken has been completed, after this Ardi who is responsible for looking after Niken.

All of the invited guests present seemed enthusiastic as Niken began to show herself. Although Niken was born in Jakarta, but he wanted to get married using Sundanese customs and everything is realized now.

Niken walked slowly. She is so beautiful and charming with a typical Sundanese wedding dress. He walked past the invited guests. Ardi there was already waiting for him with mixed feelings.

He breathed from time to time. Sweat continued to struggle spoiled on his face, making his makeup fade.

The thing that makes Ardi nervous is, the way this marriage is covered directly by several television stations. That way, his face will be easily recognized by the villages where Ardi lives. It is also possible that his parents saw him on television now. I don't know, Ardi couldn't be sure either.

Niken continued to smile at the guests, "Thank you. Thank you." Thank you." Sometimes he greeted them, even if he just said thank you.

Niken finally arrived at the small stage that had been provided for his akad event. Penghulu was already there. Now we just have to wait for Niken to arrive.

Niken finally sat down, deliberately his seat separated from Ardi. Later after legal then Niken can be paired with Ardi.

"Can it start?" ask Penghulu to Bambang Adi Atmaja, as a marriage guardian for Niken and also Ardi, who is none other than the prospective husband of Niken.

Both of them nodded at almost the same time. "Then say Bismillah. Let's start the show, "pinta Penghulu that.

All the invited guests were silent, no one did not look at the stage. They capture the moment by using cell phone cameras and others.

The photography team hired by Niken began to be ready to take pictures, starting from invited guests and of course the bride and groom.

"Please Mr. Bambang," Pengghulu's plea. After the process before the Kabul ijab is completed, now is the time for Ardi to pronounce the sacred promise of his marriage.

All pairs of eyes held their breath as this became a moment that would only come once in a lifetime. So there can be no fooling around.

Bambang stretched out his hand and Ardi immediately shook his father-in-law's hand steadily.

"I received and married Niken Angelista Atmaja bint Bambang Adi Atmaja with a cash offer of 22 thousand 500 rupiah and a set of prayer tools paid for Cash!"

"How are the witnesses? Right?" ask Penghulu.

"Well..." Witnesses have declared the Kabul ijab legitimate. " Thank God ..." Then Penghulu led the prayer together and the invited guests also prayed.

Prayer is over. Ardi said his Kabul ijab with one breath, it made all pairs of eyes amazed. They held their breaths as Ardi said his sacred promise.

After that, they breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Niken and Ardi. The two people who had only known for a few days had finally become legally and religiously married.

Mita who accompanied Niken was no longer able to hold back her sense of belonging because finally Niken has officially become the wife of a man named Ardi.

Remove the tears, and try to remove them with a tissue. "Good darling. Now you've officially become Ardi's wife."

Mita kissed Niken. Her feelings were mixed now, but she was relieved that this event was going smoothly.

Ardi is also signing a marriage certificate. Niken was brought in to get closer. She first kissed the back of Ardi's hand, as a sign of her service to Ardi who has now become her legal husband.

Penghulu also asked Niken to sign her marriage book. Bambang who sat across from each other, staring fixedly full of novelty. After arguing almost every day, Niken finally married her choice.

He can only pray, may the household that Niken and Ardi build last until death separates. Surely gave many grandchildren for him and also Mita.

After the signature process is complete, Niken and Ardi put each other's wedding rings on the couple's fingers.

The moment that Ardi had previously hoped to be with Melati, in fact he did with Niken. The woman he knew a week ago.

A soul mate no one knows. Ardi dated Melati for three years. However, the relationship ran aground when one step away from the Kabul hijab would be spoken. Different from Niken. Just got to know him, but everything happened as if it had been arranged by Him. Proving God's scenario is more beautiful than man's.

After putting up the wedding ring, the next event began. It's a wedding reception. Not only invited guests who have been waiting, but Ardi and Niken are both impatient to receive gifts from guests.

One by one, the invited guests congratulated the happy couple.

Some of them whispered mischievously to Niken, "Awas loh. Don't be rude to your husband, what else is the first night."

When the word 'First Night' is called, immediately the feathers Iuk Niken stood all. Of course the first night was there and Niken completely forgot about it.

He glanced at Ardi and so did Ardi. Niken thought, I don't know what Ardi is thinking now? Could it be that he was thinking about the first night, which they should definitely do later.

Imagining the first night made Niken shudder. Ardi also tekkeh when he saw his wife who blushed embarrassed.

Actually, not only does Niken feel that way, but Ardi also felt amused when imagining the first night he had to spend with Niken.

Not just the first night, but there are the next nights he has to go through with Niken.

How's Ardi and Niken's first night? So what life will happen next?
