Alena often teases him and makes Nizam uncomfortable. Nizam loves Alena so much that Nizam has repeatedly said gratitude to see Alena's willingness. He also felt very relieved because finally, he had come to frank with Alena and her parents. The burden that had crushed his soul all this time immediately disappeared.
"Ok ... okay. Now, what are your plans? Do you want to explore first, get engaged first, or get married right away?" Asked his father Alena.
And Nizam answered quickly. He really didn't want any more approaches. He doesn't want to be Alena's lover. He just wants to be Alena's husband. Have it in its entirety
"I'm going to marry Alena right now and don't want to delay it anymore. I'm sorry sir. But I came here to marry Alena. I think it's been enough exploration period for us while in America.
So I'm begging Alena right now. Given that tonight we must immediately go to America to prepare for re-entry to college. Maybe it's also a little late because the lecture starts tomorrow American time. "
Alena's parents choked. Why did Nizam say that marriage is that easy. Getting married is not an easy affair. It's not about buying things on the side of the road but about getting someone's daughter to be a wife. Of course, there must be a marriage contract, reception, inviting extended family, neighbors, and friends.
Marriage, especially in Indonesia, will involve many people and a lively wedding ceremony. The richer a family is, the more magnificent the marriage usually takes place. But Nizam will marry Alena so fast.
In some parts of Indonesia, when a marriage takes place in a hurry it usually invites the suspicion of others. They will suspect that the bride is pregnant first. And this is a very shameful thing in Indonesia regardless of religion and belief.
Nizam understands what the thoughts of Alena's parents mean. "Ladies and gentlemen, to be honest, I don't understand how the wedding customs are here. But considering that later Alena will be my wife in Azura, we will hold a wedding there as a prince's wedding should be.
But here I am only asking that our relationship be legally and religiously legalized. I want to be religiously legal so that I don't feel guilty when I'm with Alena. I also ask Sah in the state so that Alena can get legal certainty about her status. I don't want to bind Alena only on the basis of being legally valid.
Alena's mother looked at Nizam with a sharp gaze. He did not want his son to marry without a party.
"How about the party?" Alena's mother asked in a low voice.
Nizam was silent. But he must explain that this marriage should not be celebrated because it will invite danger to Alena's family. This marriage must be carried out in secret to fulfill the palace's requirement that wedding celebrations may only be held in the palace.
Nizam then explained carefully to Alena's parents and luckily her father Alena seemed to understand it.
"You understand. But how can you get married now? We have to take care of the permits, especially since Nizam is not an Indonesian citizen."
"You don't have to prepare everything. I have personally prepared it. Let us go to the Gardenia Hotel. Everything has been prepared there. The chief and officers from the civil registry are waiting there.
Alena's parents looked at each other. Hotel Gardenia is the most magnificent and luxurious hotel. So far, the people of Surabaya themselves do not know who the real hotel owner is. Rumor has it that the owner is from the country of Azura. Could it be that in front of them is the owner?
Oh, God... Alena's father whispered to himself. Is he currently dealing with coffers of money or treasure chests? What dream did his wife have when she was pregnant with Alena that Alena's fate was so strange. In just one night he became the father-in-law of a wealthy prince.
On the way to the Gardenia Hotel.
Alena's father and mother and Alena went with their driver in their own car. Meanwhile, Nizam, accompanied by two guards, used another car. It didn't take long before they arrived at the hotel.
As soon as they saw Nizam's entourage, an elegant man followed by several managers and other directors immediately approached them. They have been waiting all this time. Early in the morning, he was called by Ali to prepare everything. With the power of money and connections, what is this world impossible.
In a spacious, majestic, and exclusive room a table had been prepared. There were two employees from the KUA who came ready with a marriage book. There are also employees from the Azura state embassy who deliberately brought in directly from Jakarta to make a marriage permit in a foreign country. Other letters will be submitted after the contract takes place.
Unlike in Azura where the bride and groom are separated during the contract, in Indonesia, the bride accompanies the groom during the ceremony. This is the second marriage contract for Nizam. But Nizam felt a little nervous because he was now in another country. He was surrounded by new people. What made both parents and even Alena's own surprise was when Nizam mentioned the dowry that he gave to Alena.
