Honeymoon 1

"Ah you're not up to date," Ria chirped incessantly.

"The news of Liam Hemsworth's vacation in Kandui went viral and made me curious. So I searched on google. I found the info about Kandui Resort. I'm proud that world-class tourist attractions are in West Sumatra because so far Indonesia's tourist icons are only Bali and Lombok."

" Oh, I see." Iqbal nodded his head.

"It means that tomorrow we will take Dila and Bara to Bungus port to Kandui," said Defri, Dila's father.

"That's true, father," said Iqbal while snapping his fingers.

"How about you Dil? Do you want a honeymoon?" asked Iqbal uncertainly.

"It's free so I want to. When can I go on a vacation to a world-class resort. It could be the same as Liam Hemsworth's level if I go there," said Dila with a contrived happy expression. Just to heat Ria because this one sister-in-law never wanted to lose to other people.

"This is the newlyweds," Naura teased Dila.

"As if you never did." Dila teased Naura back. Immediately Naura's face was red like a boiled crab and looked at her husband.

"Don't tease each other anymore!" Lusi interfered with Dila and Naura. If the two of them joke, sometimes they didn't see the time or place.

"Alright queen," joked Dila, while bowing her head like a commoner tribute to the queen.

"How about the preparations for picking up Bara tonight, Iqbal," asked Incim Haya.

Grandma Haya was Lusi's aunt.

"It's ready, Incim. I have prepared the conditions for picking up Urang Sumando. The execution is after Isya."

"Good. Do not let the conditions for picking up Bara be embarrassing for our family," said Incim Haya emphatically.

Grandma Haya and Grandma Uwa were elders in the Dila's family who still carry out Minangkabau customs in every event, including births, weddings, deaths, batagak gala, and batagak gala pengulu.

They were highly respected elders, a place to complain and ask questions.

Batagak gala was a traditional ceremony to give a title to a married man. The batagak gala ceremony had been performed on Bara. Bara's title was Sutan Mudo.

Batagak gala pengulu was a Minangkabau traditional ceremony to inaugurate a person as a leader (leader in a community or tribe).

"Don't forget to remind Bara that you have to bring her two friends to sleep here when picking up the groom. Naura and Ria don't forget to prepare food for thanksgiving after dawn prayers. Grandma hopes you don't make a mistake," said Grandma Uwa.

"We will prepare it, grandma," said Naura, smiling sweetly.

Early in the morning, Dian had picked up Egi at the hotel. A virus-like Egi was not good to linger near Bara. Egi's carelessness might be tainted Bara's good name.

Dian escorted Egi to BIM airport. After beating Egi to the point of fainting, Dian ordered a ticket online and purposely took an early morning flight. The sooner Egi went, the better.

When Dian came to the hotel, Egi was still asleep. His body was crushed because he was beaten by Dian.

Egi began to be careful with Dian because she was like a deadly poisonous snake. Dian could hurt him again at any time.

Egi gave up dealing with Dian. Next time he would avoid Dian if he didn't want to get hurt. Egi obeyed Dian's orders when she told him to get up and take a shower.

Along the way, Egi was pouting. His face was lackluster and looked pale.

Dian drove Egi to the departure terminal.

"I'm doing this only for your good. Take care while you're in Jakarta. Take care of your health and don't be flirtatious," Dian sarcastically patted Egi's shoulder.

"The one who is flirtatious is you, white snake, not me," said Egi curtly while holding a plane ticket.

"Being a flirtatious girl at the level of a white snake like me is not easy, Gi. It's full of struggles." Dian's tone was spoiled like Syahrini, pampered and seductive.

"It's up to you. I have bad luck when I met you. Hopefully, I won't see you again Dian. This is just the last one," said Egi with a grumpy face.

"Hopefully," said Dian, provoking Egi's anger.

Dian waved her hands as she waved her hands in a gesture to drive Egi away.

"Bye Egi. Muachhh," teased Dian, giving a kiss bye.

Egi shuddered in horror and rushed inside leaving Dian. After Egi checked in, Dian left the BIM airport.

Dian's schedule this morning was going to the General Election Commission's office to hear the official announcement. Fortunately, Dian can leak the results of the legislative election so that she had an excuse to thwart Bara and Egi who would've to stay overnight and held a victory celebration event.

Dila, Naura, and Ria kept wedding gifts in Dila's room. Since these gifts were for Dila and Bara, it was only natural that they were kept in Dila's room.

Naura arranged the veil and clothes in the cupboard. Dila kept the jewelry in the safe. Meanwhile, the checks were given to Ria to be cashed and transferred to Dila's savings account.

"Dil. I'm going to the bank first. The check was due," said Ria while waving the checks.

Ria herself was a priority customer at the MBC bank. As a similar customer, she will be prioritized by the bank. So Ria can come anytime to the bank during service hours.

"Ok. Sorry to bother you," said Dila reluctantly.

"No, bother, I also wanna go out."

After Ria left, Naura and Dila were still busy tidying and arranging gifts. Dila's gifts were too many to fit in the wardrobe.

"Later that night, Bara will officially live here. If he asks for his rights tonight, how about you? Are you ready or not? Men are different from us. Even if they don't love, they can still make love to women they don't love."

"It's not going to happen," said Dila firmly.

"How are you sure?"

"Because we've talked about it."

"When did you guys talk?"

"After this reception. Before Bara escorted them home. We talked and agreed to be friends."

"Wow, amazing."

"What's amazing?"

Naura sat on Dila's bridal bed, she crossed her arms while looking at Dila from top to bottom.

"It's just amazing. Husband and wife can be friends. That means you won't have a relationship?"

"Yes, like that. Dila is lucky to be married to an understanding man like Bara. He understands that we are not married for love. So he gives Dila freedom and doesn't have to serve him in bed."

"Forever you guys will like that?"

"Bara said that if there is love between us, then we will get in touch."

"How wise is your husband."

"As wise as your husband. He is mentally strong in facing the behavior of his two wives." Dila stuck out her tongue sarcastically at Naura.

"Lawless sister-in-law," said Naura pretending to be angry.

"Leave it."

"Regarding the honeymoon to Kandui Resort, you seem excited. Is that true enthusiasm or for heating Ria?"

"Both," said Dila, laughing amusedly.

"I need a holiday."

"You say you need a vacation. In this year, you don't even take time off."

"Style is important to support the appearance. By the way, why did you discuss with Fatih to Iqbal?"

Naura was silent as if to evade. Naura tried to change the subject, but Dila insisted on knowing why Naura told Iqbal about Fatih.

"At least Iqbal knows your true feelings."

"Rice has become porridge," said Dila pitifully.

"To make it porridge but delicious to eat, Dil. I like to eat chicken porridge." Naura's joke broke the ice.

"You always can slip," said Dila sarcastically insinuated her sister-in-law.

"That's my specialty. How's the future between you and Bara's marriage?"

"Live like flowing water. Just follow where the flow of water will bring Dila and Bara's marriage."

"If Fatih comes back what will you do?"

Dila was stunned to hear Naura's question. A very difficult question to answer and Dila didn't have an answer to that one question.
