Bara's extended family had proposed to Dila to his parents. Two large families agreed to marry off their children. In this event Dila and Bara did not participate. They only followed their family's decisions. Only the extended family of the bride and groom will meet to determine the date and arrange the procedures for carrying out the wedding. Bara and Dila tied the promises on Friday. The reception was held on Saturday.
The MBC bank office suddenly got excited about Dila's wedding invitation. Nobody knew her boyfriend, instead, Dila got married. Nobody knew the news of this marriage beforehand. Dila even closed her mouth tightly from her friends at the office.
Stevi was the one who was the most devastated and shocked to receive Dila's wedding invitation. Once again she lost to Dila. She cursed irritably because she had to humble herself to wash Dila's feet during the wedding procession.
Dila had tricked her completely. No wonder Dila was willing to accept her challenge because she was really getting married. When she opened the invitation, Stevi got even more hurt. Her heart broke when she read the name of Dila's future husband. She cursed Dila harshly.
Stevi knew Bara Aldebaran, a successful mining entrepreneur and contractor. The names of Bara's parents were clearly written. Herman was a rich and respected entrepreneur in the city of P. Owned gas stations, palm oil, handicrafts, malls, hospitals and campuses. Nothing can match Herman's wealth in the city of P.
Stevi's smartphone rang. Without seeing who the caller was, she picked it up.
"Hello Stevi." Was clearly heard in her ear that the one who's calling was Dila.
"Remember our bet. You lost again to me. Don't forget to wash my feet when I get married, honey. I'll wait. I'll send the schedule to your WhatsApp. Don't break your promise. As a leader that's what she is holding. If you break your promise I'll upload a video of our bet. Shame on you, if people find out you can't keep a promise. "
"Keparat." Stevi cursed harshly in the Minang's language.
"Ouch, how come your mouth is so rough. It is necessary to teach your mouth so that it doesn't say dirty words anymore," said Dila, laughing out loud.
"Don't be happy Dil. There are times when I reply to you."
"I'll wait. Don't forget to attend to my event," said Dila before disconnecting the call.
******
The night of the bainai was a ritual of attaching a collision of red henna leaves (henna) to the nails of the prospective bride, which was done on the night before the wedding day. This pounding will be left on overnight, leaving a reddish color on the nails.
Bainai night was arguably the last night of the bride-to-be as a single girl, so it can be said that bainai night was the Minang version of a bachelorette party.
Dila looked beautiful in her wedding dress. Her bridal aura radiated and looked stunning.
The invited guests were amazed and praised Dila's beauty. Dila's co-worker took the time to attend the Bainai evening. Apart from coming to watch the traditional procession, they also wanted to watch Stevi wash Dila's feet before the main event.
They couldn't wait to see Stevi's annoyed and angry face for being humiliated by Dila. MBC employees have heard Dila and Stevi's bet. They supported Dila for hating Stevi. It was the time for that arrogant woman to be humiliated.
Holding back the embarrassment, Stevi washed Dila's feet which was witnessed by all MBC employees. They never came to the employee girl night procession. This was the first time they have taken the time because they wanted to watch Stevi wash Dila's feet.
"So far, I watched movies that weren't this exciting," chatted one of the employees.
"Absolutely. When else did that old lady get karma. So embarrassed to have to kneel down and wash Dila's feet."
"I would be embarrassed if I were Stevi. My pride was trampled on."
"Her mouth is very limp, loves to find trouble with Dila. She gets the karma. Didn't she know if Dila is cunning."
"Dila is not a comparable opponent for Stevi. In any case, she will not be able to beat Dila. She has good luck. The daughter of an official. If not, she certainly can't work at MBC."
With an annoyed face, Stevi washed Dila's feet. The MBC gossiper immediately shot a video. All employees were excited to hold a Smartphone. When else will they see a good spectacle. Stevi was furious when MBC employees filmed her video washing Dila's feet.
"Thank you, Stevi. You keep your promise. I'm touched," Dila sarcastically looked at Stevi who was annoyed.
Stevi's face was sour and implied annoyance. She was hurt. An official's daughter must be humiliated. Her pride was torn apart.
"You can laugh now. Later I will laugh above your suffering."
Before the Bainai Night event was held, a traditional bathing ritual will be performed for the bride but in the process, Dila was only given a splash of water. After the bathing procession, Dila carried out the evening bainai process. Put the henna on so that the nails were reddish.
Dila never thought that tomorrow she would become Aldebaran's wife. It was difficult to undergo this marriage because her heart still belonged to Fatih. The Universe did not support her to unite with Fatih. Her soul mate anchored to Bara. The man of her parents' choice.
Dila will remember messages from her family. Their message made an impression on Dila's heart.
(Remember the message from mother, child. Be an obedient wife to your husband, fill his stomach, please the bird).
(Getting married is not as good as people say. There must be trials in the household. Must be patient and don't say the word divorce. Married is once in a lifetime, kid).
(Regarding the knowledge of husbandry, if you come to be side by side, correct your behavior, be good, act, visit your husband from afar, welcome your husband with a sweet face, serve him drink and eat, show a pure heart.)
(Be a smart wife to cover up her husband's disgrace. If there is a lack of a husband, don't tell it to others. Just keep it in your heart. Keep the good name of the husband because the husband is the leader in the household).
