Marrying the Father of My Foster Son
It's Wedding Day (Lulu and Leon)

Lulu's been going nowhere for a week. He said that people who want to marry still like to wander. As a result, Lulu is pinned at home until her wedding day arrives.

After the dawn of Azan reverberated, Lulu was already deg-degan. The girl's heart was beating so fast as if it was about to explode that very second.

"Well, how guts like this. Try to have Queensha here, my grogs must be a little reduced. But honey, she can't go anywhere because she's pregnant." To get rid of the nervousness, Lulu paced back and forth around her room that had been decorated in such a way. The fragrant red rose bushes everywhere make anyone who is there lulled in its fragrance.

However, Lulu's efforts were unsuccessful. He was even more nervous to make it so no appetite for food. Afraid that today's event did not go according to plan, so he became overthingking heavily.

“Let's pass out if you don't eat. Let's eat one or two spoonfuls first so as not to catch a cold. Not funny, right, right in the middle of his spell show even sickly.” One of Lulu's brothers came to serve food in small portions and placed it on the nightstand next to the girl's bed.

"But Ua, Lulu's not hungry. Lulu's stomach is full," she said subtly. Actually, his stomach was rumbling, but he ignored the strange sounds because now his focus is on the important event today.

The cousin sister of Fatimah who lives in Bandung sits next to Lulu, rubbing the top of the girl's head full of love. "Although not hungry, but must be imposed, Lu. At 9 am Ijab kabul, then followed by the wedding reception until 9 pm, continue you want to eat at what time? Not necessarily able to eat in the middle of the event. Moreover, invited guests are quite a lot, it is impossible to nyomot snack or eat heavy food while the event is underway."

"Udah, just eat a little more than get sick. Poor son Leon if you see your face pale, he must be very worried about you."

Finally Lulu nodded and began to spoon two mouthfuls of rice. After that, he looked back at his appearance from the reflection of the mirror in front of him.

Lulu did not expect after self-made, it turns out she can look beautiful too. Or the term manglingi alias looks different from usual.

“Hopefully today goes smoothly.” Lulu stand. He noticed the ivory color he was wearing today. The kebaya wrapped his beautiful body. Lulu smiled, then took a short breath. Yes, he is ready for the kabul ijab event which will be held in one hour.

Leon is not allowed to meet Lulu even to make video calls. That has been driving him for the past week.

"Pamali if the candidate of the manten meets before the procession of kabul ijab held."

That's what Ayu and some of Leon's relatives who live in Yogyakarta said. Inevitably, Leon finally can only resign rather than cause problems later on.

As now, Leon again looked at the photo of his future wife when they did a pre wedding photo session. "Neko chan, I miss you. A week without seeing your face and hearing your voice, make me miss it hard." He swept the phone screen with a burning sense of longing.

Leon's activities came to a halt as Ghani's voice rang out from the doorway. “Yon, come! An hour later kabul is held, we must be there before the ruler arrives."

"Hmm, yeah." Leon took a deep breath, then followed Ghani towards the inn lobby. There were already Leon's parents, including brother, brother-in-law and kinsmen on the part of Imran and Ayu who were willing to attend, watching the sacred pledge of marriage between Leon and Lulu.

“Ghan, how are Queensha doing?” ask Leon as they walk along.

“He's fine. Oh yeah, he just said hello to you and Lulu. Sorry I couldn't attend. The content is getting bigger. He couldn't sit for long enough."

Leon shook his hand. “Nothing. I know the condition of Queensha is not possible to go to Lulu's hometown. The important thing is that the prayer is enough for me and Lulu."

Ghani. “Omong-by the way, I noticed it's cool as well you're not at all nervous. From earlier lo face plates only. This is a historic day that makes any guy nervous.”

“My heart is actually afraid of wrong talk later. My face is like a toll road, but my heart feels like it's going to explode, Ghan. Look at my hands, bad pats." Leon showed his palm to his friend. From the reflection of the light, Ghani can see the sweat dividing the palm of his best friend.

Turns right. Although from the outside Leon looks normal, but his hands tremble, a sign that he is groggy half-dead. Ghani, who knew it, immediately laughed a little and then patted his best friend's shoulder to strengthen Leon.

"Look down, everything's gonna be fine. You have practiced before so it will be smooth when saying ijab kabul."

“Yes, I hope I didn't say the name Lulu. Can be berabe later.”

Ghani laughed again. He remembers his experience when he was married. He was also worried about the same thing. Ijab kabul is the most important procession in a marriage.

Almost all men in parts of the world must be groggy when doing so, but Ghani knows men who are ready to edit their partners will try to make the process run smoothly. Because it is the first step to make his partner a halal partner in the world of the afterlife.

“I received marriage Aluna Himairah bint Idris Saefudin with dowry set of prayer tools, gold coins weighing 10 grams, and cash of Rp. 5,200,000 paid in cash."

“SAH!”

“Alhamdulillah.”

Although his heart was timid and Leon felt like fainting, finally the kabul ijab process was completed. Everyone said thank God, not least Lulu who heard it from the loudspeaker.

“Come, Lulu, now you meet your husband,”, said Ms. Fatimah as she pushed slowly on Lulu's shoulder.

Lulu nodded and smiled at her mother. Today Fatimah ma'am diras very beautiful on the wedding day of the princess. Although his age was twilight, but did not reduce the beauty that emanated from his mother's face.

Finally, Lulu walked into the room to greet Leon. Lulu smiled with haru feeling. She is now legally and religiously legal as Leon's wife. Lulu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling as soon as Leon looked at her with a full face.

“Halo, Neko chan-ku,” greet Leon once Lulu is in front of him.

“Halo, Mas,” greet sweet Lulu, then kiss the back of Leon's hand with mafhum.

There was a warm feeling radiating across Leon's chest as Lulu kissed the back of his hand. In the depths of his heart, Leon promised to be a husband who would make his wife happy forever, until death separated them both.

After Lulu kissed the back of Leon's hand, it was Leon's turn to kiss Lulu's forehead. Leon did so long enough to permeate his current role as Lulu's husband.

After finishing doing so, it is now Leon and Lulu's turn to the two parents respectively. Both of their parents are equally moved to see their sons and daughters are already tied as a husband and wife.

The journey of Lulu and Leon as husband and wife certainly will not run smoothly. There must have been a pebble coming in front of him. But they hope to get through it, so that the marriage can last until they are old.

"Finally our son got married too, Pa. Mama's relieved to be able to take Leon to the underwriting." Bu Ayu rubbed the tears dripping down her cheeks. Had thought if the youngest child would be single for life because it was betrayed by a woman who was so loved.

Mr. Imran rubbed his wife's soft shoulder gently. "Papa was also happy to see her, Ma. Our job is done, just to see our children living happily with their partners."

The same thing was done by Fatimah. The middle-aged woman looked at the beautiful scenery ahead.

"Our daughter is a big one, sir. I'm glad Lulu finally found a man who truly loved her."

"Lulu deserves it. All this time he has fought hard for his family and God has returned with millions of unparalleled pleasures" Idris said. There was a sense of relief in the man for having done his duty as a father for Lulu, delivering her only child step towards the wedding gate.

Ghani, Zavier, Rayyan, and Arumi clapped their hands to see Lulu and Leon sitting side by side in the bridal seat. Arumi did not stop wiping tears because she was moved to see Lulu's marriage.

"Lulu is so pretty. Try Queensha can come. She must have been moved too.” Arumi patted the corner of her watery eyes using a tissue.

“I've sent the video to Queensha kok, Bun,” Ghani told Arumi while showing Arumi her phone.

Still with puffy eyes due to the taste of haru, Arumi said, "Then, how did Queensha react? Is he mad at you?”

Quickly whizzing. "No, Bun. He only cried because he could not be present in the procession kabul best friend. Well, what can I do. Instead of later even why with my three heroes, better Queensha at home. It's for his own good too.”

Arumi. Queensha has entered its seventh month. Since Queensha was carrying twins, her stomach was huge. Queensha often pranks when walking. Doctors advised Queensha not to travel far and rest at home. All of this is to prevent bad things that will happen later.

“Aduh, really long, anyway. When are the invited guests welcome to eat," Zavier chirped suddenly.

Rayyan turned towards her second child with a sharp look. “Dragon your attitude, Vier. Don't you want to see your wife, hem? What if she doesn't see her husband's attitude like this."

Zavier simply rubbed his nape using the palm of his hand. Severe as usual. "His name is laper, well, where can be told to keep the attitude. After all, Hanna had already gotten used to my sometimes slightly awkward attitude. Don't you think, honey?"

Hanna smiled stiffly at the question her husband asked. Still awkward to be in the middle of the Zavier family.

"Yes, but keep your attitude. Already, sit quietly and wait for the cue from the MC. Even the starters will not let the invited guests starve," said Rayyan firmly, making Zavier again sitting sweetly next to his wife.
