The Missing Mentari
Wedding Invitations (SAH)

Dani's heart doesn't stop beating. He was increasingly tense because he had not heard them allow him to marry their daughter.

"Mom, get Santi here. I want to talk to him"

"well, sir"

The mother immediately stood up and went to her son's room which had not come out of the room.The three men were still silent no one spoke. Then, the door of Santi's room was opened featuring the mother who first came out, continued to be followed by Santi in the back.

"what's wrong sir?"

"here.. Sit near my father.. I want to talk to you"

Santi nodded, then he sat down next to his father and Narmi's mother sat next to him.

"Santi.. What do you think Dani's son is?"

"meaning father?"

"just tell me what you know"

Santi glanced for a moment at Dani who was looking at him after that looking back at the father.

"mas Dani is a good man sir.."

"again?"

Although Santi did not know Dani, but he always watched Dani secretly. He explained everything he knew to his father.

"that's it?"

"yes." she answered honestly. Because he was so innocent so it wasn't easy for him to lie.

"do you like Dani?"

"he? I-i-i'm.."

Santi felt a tremendous nervousness when asked such a thing by Pak Ujang. His heart skipped a beat while occasionally staring at Dani.

"i-i'm.."

"it's okay.. Honestly, I want to hear it directly from you"

his face suddenly frowned, embarrassed so Santi lowered his head while playing his finger.

"I-i'm.. I-iiyah.. I like it" she said honestly.

Hearing that, the originally tense Dani developed her smile. Even Nathan was happy because his best friend's feelings were finally reciprocated as well.

"do you like Dani's son?"

Santi was only able to nod while looking down because he was embarrassed to have to look at the man he liked was in front of him. Moreover, he had to be honest in front of everyone.

Then Mr. Ujang, looked at Dani and gave the code to Dani who told him directly what everything meant. Dani nodded in understanding then looked back at Santi who was still bowing his head.

"Eumm.. Santi, please look at me for a moment"

He raised his face slowly and looked at Dani who was still staring at him.

"i'm glad you like me too.. I'm just saying, you want to marry me?"

Again he was shocked because Dani suddenly proposed to him.

"what?"

"do you want to marry me?" dani asked in a sad voice.

Santi was silent and looked back. His hands were crumpling his collar. His breath was stingy and his heart was pounding. Santi was very confused to answer Dani's proposal.

"son, think carefully.. Dani boy proposed to you before he came back to town and will never come back here. So decide if you refuse, you'll never see Dani again"

Hearing that, Santi immediately looked at Dani in disbelief. He was happy because Dani was at his house because he was the only friend he had.

"but if you marry Dani's son, you will continue to be with Dani.. Which do you choose?"

"I.. I'm.."

Santi doesn't want to lose Dani. He had just felt the comfort of being near men.everything was silent looking at Santi because he was the only person who would decide to get married or not.

"i don't want to lose Dani's mas." she said sadly.

"so?"

"i.. I received Dani's application sir"

Hearing Santi accept the proposal, everyone was relieved especially Dani who was very happy because her love was avenged. Nathan was also happy by hugging his best friend.

"Santi.. Thank you for accepting me"

Santi just smiled shyly while nodding his head.

"because Santi accepted, mother and father also accepted you as our daughter-in-law"

"thank you sir.."

Dani unceasingly developed a smile on her face. Only this time did he feel the avenged pleasure of love. During his life, he would never fall in love with a woman. But this time he was targeted by the village girl where she herself got lost in the forest.

"but when did you marry her?" ask Nathan.

The question was successful in making everything go back to silence. Dani is also confused when he holds a wedding, especially no parents who accompany him.

"it's father's business.. Son Dani, even without your parents, your marriage and Santi will remain valid religiously and nationally, so you don't have to worry about that"

"yes sir.."

"for the wedding procession will be done tonight, right at 1 am."

"what?!"

Dani and Nathan are in shock because Dani is getting married tonight in the early hours.

"maybe this sounds strange. But indeed, usually the citizens here get married at such an hour. But, just calm down. Both of your marriages are legal. This is just our custom show"

"well, Dani, Santi, prepare yourself.. You're getting married tonight. Mother, bring the penghulu to our house yes"

"good sir"

Santi went back to his room to rest. Because he will wake up late at night to marry the man of his tribe, while Pak Ujang went to prepare the marriage of his two children.

"cieee.. Smile and keep hahaha"

"gue happy Than. This is how it feels if you are in love again"

"ah lu's.. So don't be an acute singles"

"i'm not single anymore" yeee sneered Dani back.

"yes, I want to marry someone different.. You're asleep, you gotta get up early"

"iyeee"

***

Exactly at 12 pm, all the family members of Mr. Ujang have awakened. Especially Dani and Santi are ready with the traditional clothes they wear tonight.

The wedding will be held in a place close to the forest and it has been prepared by Mr. Ujang and assisted by several people there.

Santi also looks beautiful and very sweet because of the thin makeup wrapped in traditional clothes typical of the village. The race also began. Nathan and Narmi's mother watched their marriage from a distance.

There were pak penghulu and Pak Ujang who were reciting their wedding rituals. After saying kabul ijab, Pak Ujang recited the last ritual as a perfecter of their marriage.

and now it's 3am and a half, the ritual and reading have been completed, and now Santi and Dani officially become a couple.

then, the curtain that stretched in that place then covered Santi and also Dani who were inside there. Dani, who has officially become Santi's husband, began to do the action.

He slowly dropped Santi's body onto the pedestal that had been provided there.They also looked at each other. Their smiles are a sign of happiness.

Then Dani began to close his eyes and close his lips to kiss his wife.

"eungh.."

Dani began to grope his wife's makeup body and began to smell the neck and sweet face of his wife.

"you're so pretty" praised Dani.

Without thinking for long, he immediately devoured his wife's tiny lips. The lulled Santi returned her husband's fondling and wrapped her hands around her husband's neck.

their cries grew hotter and a shrill voice began to be heard. Santi who was lulled until squeezing her husband's hair a little tight.

almost 20 minutes they make out, finally Dani let go of her pagutan.

Eumh.. Huhh..

Their breathing was still crying out like a 5-kilo-meter marathon.

"thank you.." Dani said.

Santi replied with a smile. Then they re-hugged each other with a position still stretched where Santi was below and Dani above it.
