WEDDING DRESS WEDDING DRESS
Chapter 24
Candra drives off her motorbike leaving Faaz's residence. Is takes Tini to the residence of an ustadz who is Zain's adoptive father.
During the journey Zain did not stop chanting the holy verses of the Qur'an to prevent Tini's trance.
At 4 am they arrived at the village where Zain was born.
Candra immediately went down and helped Zain bring Tini out.
A white-bearded old man came out to open the door for her.
They laid Tini in a room that was prepared by the owner of the house.
Seeing the tired faces of Zain and Candra the man served them a cup of hot tea.
"Please drink, I'm sorry I don't have food so it's just water,"
"Thank you,"
The two young men immediately gulped it down.
"Thank God" said Zain, feeling better
"If you are tired, you should rest, then I wake up at dawn" said the man
"Okay dad, leave Tini .. take care of him, please" replied Zain
"Yes,"
Meanwhile, Zain invites Candra to sleep in his room. Meanwhile, Zain's father chose the tadarus while waiting for dawn.
Hearing her father's voice reclining makes Zain feel safe leaving Tini with his father.
At five o'clock in the morning Zain's father woke the two young men up and told him to pray at dawn.
Meanwhile Tini blinked her eyes when she heard a rowdy voice.
The girl immediately got up and left her room.
He saw an old man cooking in the kitchen alone.
"Where was this, why was it so noisy but there was no one but an old man,"
Tini then sat down while looking at the man cooking while humming.
The man smiled as he saw Tini sitting watching him.
"Have you woken up?"
"I'm sorry to know whose father I am and why am I here?" tanya is a little confused
"You were at the house of his father Zain or better known as Mbah Santa without Claus" the man joked
Tini laughed at the name of the man.
"Santa??"
"Yes Santa," replied the man giving his ID to Tini
"It's called Santa without N,"
"Haha!"
"Definitely seneng have a funny father rich sir san," said Tini looked bright
"Is your dad not funny?" ask Santa
"My father no longer exists, sir,"
"I'm sorry, so make you sad,"
"No sir," replied Tini wiping her tears
"Thank God that's it,"
Santa then moves the processed food to the dinner table, seeing the man working alone Tini also helps him prepare dishes and spoons.
Soon Zain and Candra join them.
"Alhamdulillah finally found rice too," said Zain looks sumringah
"Why, have you never eaten rice?" asked Santa to frown his forehead
"That's so hard, then eat a lot," Santa filled Zain's plate with rice to the brim
Not only Zain, Santa also fills Tini and Candra plates.
"Let's just say I have three children now so don't feel like I only love Zain" said the man trying to shake off the jealousy of both guests
Finished breakfast Zain told of the intent of his arrival. Santa looks to be nodding his head.
"So how come Dad, can you help him?" ask Zain
Santa took a deep breath and stared fixedly at Tini.
"All actions have their rewards. That's why we shouldn't rush to decide everything. If the rice has become porridge like this how else. Although as far as I know there are no perpetrators of the transfer that survived but at least we try first. Whatever the outcome may be, may it be for the best." replied Santa
"Am I going to die?" tanya Tini with a riled face
"Everyone will die, everyone is just waiting for time. The most important thing is to face everything with sincerity. If you really had to die in this case then die as a Tini, not as a sacrificial victim, do you know what I mean?"
Tini shook her head, her tears began to splatter soaking down her cheeks.
"The two remaining days do good things as if you were going to die today. Close yourself to God and have lots of preaching" added Santa
"Against or harass supernatural beings is not the solution to free them. Being sincere and making peace with the situation is the best choice you have to live if you want to die as Tini, like Faaz who fought not to die as a collision, you have to do the same,"
They were silent to Santa's words. Only Tini kept crying sobbing considering her life was only two days away.
Santa then went inside and soon he came back with a hijab and gave it to Tini.
"Start by changing your appearance. I'm sure you'll look pretty if you close your aura. Although it is too late, God never ignores a sincere servant who wants to change,"
Tini then brought the hijab in. He was still in shock when he remembered Santa's words. However, he knew full well that nothing was wrong with the man.
Even Ki Jaka has never mengultimatum himself if there is no perpetrator who can escape when he neglects to give offerings.
After solidifying his heart, he picked up the scissors lying on the table.
He looked at his face in the mirror.
"Today Tini is dead and reborn as Mr. Santa's daughter,"
Tini took a few strands of her hair and then cut them off.
He then went to the bathroom to clean himself up.
..."Bismillah," said Tini as she flushed her head....
Although his heart was still bitter, he tried hard to start a new life even if only two days.
After the shower, she changed her clothes to the one Santa had prepared.
The woman stared fixedly at a photo on the wall of the room.
"May I be like you,"
Tini steps out to meet Santa, Zain, and Candra.
When the man was aghast at Tini's latest appearance.
"God is so beautiful, I almost didn't recognize you" said Santa
"Thank you dad," Tini replied making the man tear up at once
"You remind me of my late daughter, if she's alive she'll probably be about the same age as you are,"
"If your son died a child then whose clothes do I wear?" tanya Tini
"It's my ex-boyfriend, I just happen to be unable to forget it, so I still keep all of his. Especially the picture I still have on my wall,"
Instantly Tini frowned.
"Astaghfirullah,"
Meanwhile, Zain and Candra laughed at him
"Don't take Tin's heart too much, my father is. Likes alay once in a while, but he's really cool,"
"Well, I'm not relaxed. It's just that I don't feel good if he thinks I'm his ex" Tini replied
"Your ex-boyfriend is Umi, and Umi is Tin dead, so don't worry!" zain Sahut
