A HIDDEN WEDDING (2)

Ardian felt that he was faced with a dilemma, as the village head how he could go back and forth from the city to the village where the distance could be more than an hour.

"Why do we have to move to the city of Nay? instead of staying here it's quieter?" asked Ardian, who still didn't understand what Nayla wanted.

"If we live here how can I protect my parents' good name? also your good name, if in the city we don't think too much about a good name, sir." said Nayla giving the reason.

"But this is too far Nay, how can I travel all the way back and forth with my condition like this?" said Ardian with quite sad feelings.

Nayla stared at Ardian's face, which looked complicated by bearing a heavy burden of thought.

Nayla took Ardian's hand, and gave a pleading look.

"I beg you sir, grant my request sir, I will not ask for anything else other than what we have agreed on." said Nayla softly, holding Ardian's two hands.

Ardian's heart melted at once with a heart full of wounds.

"Give me time to find a solution, okay Nay? the most important thing is we have to get married soon so that your parents do not become embarrassed by the neighbors." said Ardian trying to calm down and immediately find a solution.

"I really trust you, thank you sir." said Nayla with smiling lips.

"Then when can we marry Nay, can it be this Sunday?" Ardian asked seriously.

"Tomorrow you can also sir, if you can quickly take care of all the requirements at the KUA office." Nayla replied quickly.

"All right Nay, let's go out and tell your parents." Ardian said as he opened the bedroom door and returned to the living room where Sasongko and Mother Nay were still sitting waiting for him.

With several reasons and Ardian's way of explaining in earnest, Sasongko and Mother Nay finally agreed to all of Ardian's decisions.

"So the point is Ardian, I have given up on leaving Nayla to you, I really trust you to be able to take good care of Nayla." said Sasongko who knew very well, all the decisions were definitely not from Ardian but from Nayla.

However, Sasongko could not do anything about it, because it was Ardian's decision too.

"Thank you Father, if I entrust Nayla to me, I will definitely take good care of Nayla with all my heart." said Ardian sincerely and believed that one day Nayla would be able to love him.

"So, tomorrow we have to go to the KUA office, Ardian?" Asked Sasongko, confirming Ardian and Nayla's marriage.

"Yes Father, I will try to complete this afternoon all the conditions for marriage can be completed, so that tomorrow we can be on time to come to KUA." Ardian said seriously.

Sasongko took a deep breath.

"Hopefully everything you hope will come true Ardian." said Sasongko with emotion.

"Aamiin, thank you for your prayers, Dad ... I want your permission to go directly to the KUA." said Ardian as he stood up from his place.

"Will I take you, sir?" asked Nayla, who was silent when Ardian spoke to convince her father.

"No need Nay, I already asked Maman to pick you up." Ardian replied with a smile, and nodded his head at Sasongko and Mother Nay to go home.

After Ardian could not see his back.

Nayla asks Sasongko's permission to go out to Zanna's house.

"My dad is over to Zanna's house for a bit, I'm going to tell Zanna to come along for tomorrow's event." said Nayla without waiting for Sasongko's approval to take her motorbike and drive it to Zanna's house.

Arriving at Zanna's house, Nayla shared everything about her goal of moving to the city after getting married.

"Nayla, why did you do that? Mr. Ardian is a good person, Nay." said Zanna, who could not pretend to always defend Nayla.

"What about you Zan, it's not like you are not happy with Mr. Ardian, why do you feel sorry for him now, Zanna you know I don't love Mr. Ardian, only Kenzo who I love .. why everyone can't understand my feelings." complained Nayla wanted to cry.

"So what are you here now, Nay? instead of tomorrow you will marry Mr. Ardian." Zanna asked with a feeling of suffocation because she felt sorry for Ardian.

"I want to leave my motorbike for a while, I'm going to take an ojek to town, Kenzo is waiting for me there ... I have to explain to Kenzo about this sudden marriage." Nayla said, hurrying out of Zanna's yard and walking to the motorcycle taxi stand near Zanna's house.

In the town of S, Nayla got off right in front of the square where Kenzo was already waiting for her.

"Kenzo." called Nayla seeing Kenzo who was sitting pensive on the long bench.

"Nayla dear." said Kenzo, hugging Nayla very tightly.

"Kenzo, don't be like this is bad when someone recognizes us." said Nayla, releasing Kenzo's hug.

"Yes Nay, I'm sorry ... where are we now?" asked Kenzo, who always gave in.

"Let's go to the park, Ken." replied Nayla while receiving a helmet from Kenzo.

In the garden, Kenzo and Nayla sat silently pensive with each other's thoughts.

Kenzo repeatedly sighed.

"Why does it have to be like Nay, why does our relationship get complicated ... why do you have to marry Mr. Ardian, our relationship will be even more difficult Nay." said Kenzo with his head bowed.

"I can't let my parents be embarrassed Ken, Mr. Ardian has proposed to me for a long time, and the neighbors know that I'm Mr. Ardian's future wife, so how can I hurt my parents." said Nayla with distant eyes.

"Do I also have to just marry Safitri." Kenzo said with a very hurt feeling when he found out that Nayla would marry Ardian tomorrow.

"Did you do it because it hurt me?" asked Nayla with a jealous heart.

"I love you Nay, I've been trying to find a middle way, so that you wait for me but you have found your own way without thinking of me." said Kenzo with a really hurt heart.

"If I don't think about you Ken, why would I do the wedding in secret, dan Why do I ask Mr. Ardian to move to the city, I did all that for you Ken, so I can be with you." said Nayla with a broken heart too.

"Is it true what you said Nay, you didn't lie to me right?" Kenzo asked seriously.

"When did I lie to you Ken." said Nayla earnestly.

"I trust you Nay." said Kenzo holding Nayla's hand.

"So, are you still going to marry Safitri?" asked Nayla with a jealous look.

Kenzo shook his head with a smile on his lips.

"I will never marry Safitri Nay, I just want to see if you are jealous or not, I promise I will wait for you until that time comes.." said Kenzo looking at Nayla with feeling.

***

"Are you sure Zan, Nayla went with Kenzo?" asked Ardian leaning against the wall of his room while enduring the pain that always came suddenly,

Ardian's eyes closed, remembering how he had prepared all the preparations for his wedding with Nayla, In fact, Ardian has also written a letter of resignation as the village head just for the sake of Nayla's wish and happiness.
