In the silence of the night, Amara and Raka began to talk about their feelings after the ceremony and reception. "How do you feel about today?" Raka asked softly. Amara took a breath, trying to put together the right words. "I feel mixed feelings. Happy, anxious, and a little scared.

I feel like I'm on a roller coaster of emotions," Amara thought. She also felt grateful for the support from her family and friends, who made her feel like she was not alone in facing all of this. "I hope we can find happiness in this marriage," Amara said in a low voice, more to herself.

"This is the beginning of our long journey," Raka said, looking at Amara. "I hope we can find happiness and true love in this marriage," he added. Amara nodded, feeling the same hope. "I hope so too, Raka. Let's go through this with an open heart and support each other," Amara replied. With new feelings and great hopes, they were both ready to face the future together, determined to make this marriage work.
The first days after Amara and Raka's marriage were filled with various feelings and adjustments. They now lived in a large house owned by the Pratama family, an environment far different from the simple house in the village where Amara grew up. Amara tried to adjust to this new atmosphere, feeling various mixed emotions. "I feel like a fish in a new pond," Amara thought, trying to understand the dynamics of the new household. Raka, on the other hand, also tried to help Amara feel comfortable, making sure that all of Amara's needs were met.
Adjusting to their new roles as a married couple was not easy for Amara and Raka. Amara felt awkward with her new tasks and responsibilities, such as attending social and business events with Raka. "I have to learn to be a good companion," Amara told herself. Meanwhile, Raka tried to balance the demands of his work and personal life. They often felt exhausted and stressed, but tried to remain patient and understanding with each other. "This will take time and effort from both of us," Raka said, trying to encourage himself and Amara.
To overcome these challenges, Amara and Raka tried to establish a regular routine and maintain good communication. They created a weekly schedule that included time for work, social activities, and time for themselves. "We should have time for the two of us too," Raka said, suggesting that they set aside specific nights for date nights. Amara agreed and felt that this would help them grow closer and understand each other better. Communication was key in keeping their relationship harmonious. They tried to always be open about each other's feelings and concerns, and to find solutions together for any problems that arose.
The small moments they experience every day help Amara and Raka grow closer and understand each other. Like when Raka makes a simple breakfast for Amara before he goes to work, or when Amara helps Raka choose a tie that fits for an important meeting. "It's a small thing, but it means a lot to me," Amara said with a smile. Their togetherness in the evening, sitting on the terrace while enjoying a cup of tea, is also a precious moment. They talk about their dreams and hopes, and reminisce about beautiful moments in the past. "This is a small step towards a stronger relationship," Raka thought with hope. Amara and Raka's hopes for the future are very high. They are both committed to making this marriage work, even though it starts from a contractual agreement. "I want us to be able to find happiness and true love in this marriage," Amara said one night. Raka agreed, "I have the same hopes. We have to work hard for it." They both realize that this journey will not be easy, but with love, communication, and cooperation, they are confident that they can overcome any obstacles. Their commitment to continue growing and learning together is a strong foundation for their relationship. With great enthusiasm and hope, Amara and Raka are ready to face the future together.
Amara and Raka are ready to face this long journey, with all the challenges and hopes that come with it. They are determined to build a new life full of love and happiness, even if they have to start from scratch.
