Love is not about words. Except for the divine decree. When God does not bring prayer together in the Bible. So fate is not a match. Every human being is created in pairs. Believe this. The soul mate will not be changed.
Twilight friends, themed flavors. Rey came to the hotel hall which was not much accompanied by Bagas. As usual the appearance is stunning, but today the light rays that are emitted add to its charisma. Handsome, authoritative, and assertive.
Rashid's father took Zulaikha's mother's hand. A feeling of relief from responsibility as a parent, will soon be released. Wishing her daughter happiness in the world by being a wife. Pak Penghulu also welcomed the prospective groom with a smile.
"Assalamu'alaikum, everyone." The sea of greetings coincided with the two men, making the others look back at the earth.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied everyone present to witness Rey and Asma's happiness.
The gentleman directed Rey to sit in front of him. Honestly, usually the groom's face will be tense and nervous, but this one bride is so calm and relaxed. Doesn't look groggy, let alone a face as pale as an undead.
"Brother Reyhan Aditya, is Ananda ready?" ask Pak penghulu without saying stale.
Rey nodded, "Ready, sir."
"alright. Let's start this event with a basmalah reading together." Mr. Penghulu started solemnly, leading the event this afternoon as it should be.
Prayer followed by the recitation of a ruler's pledge. Then explain the meaning of rights and obligations of husband and wife. Everyone listens, but the one who lives the most is Rey. The groom. Today will not only change his whole life.
However, after the sacred promise escaped his lips, later. There is a new responsibility that he must take full care of. Is the soul and body ready? What about mental readiness? Advice from pak Penghulu is like a spiritual flush that he rarely gets.
For ten minutes. Pak Penghulu has just ended the demands of the procedure before starting the marriage contract until the book is closed. Then change the wedding documents that will go into the process of the sacred pledge. Do not forget to extend his right hand with a gaze attached to the groom.
"Shake my hand, Ananda Reyhan Aditya." Pengulu again guided Rey who according to like a child, "Is this marriage not forced? If not, let's start because Mr. Rashid has handed over the responsibilities of guardian of marriage to me."
Rashid's father felt unable to let go of his youngest daughter, but he also had other reasons. The atmosphere was silent, only a gust of wind was blowing. Hands shaking hands with each other, it appears that Mr. Penghulu prayed before starting a marriage contract that will unite two people.
"I married and married Ananda Reyhan Aditya to Adinda Asma bint Fathan with a dowry of ten hectares of land and ten grams of gold paid in cash." Said Mr. Penghulu without a word that sprained, then stomped his hand so that Rey answered the pledge from him.
"I accept, the marriage and marriage of Ananda Asma bint Fathan with the dowry paid in cash." A breath with a clear speech without hesitation, threw Rey into a peaceful flower garden.
Destiny, who knows the direction of his goal? Where, where and where to live. All that has been arranged is the Creator. Do'a chants greeted the arrival of Asma that distracted everyone. Including Rey.
The man, did not let go of his eyes as soon as Asthma entered. The village girl who usually wears tomboy clothes. This afternoon, under the dim light of the twilight. Her face looks different from a natural makeup blanket, the body covered in a wedding dress with a kebaya accent.
Overall very sweet, and can not be seen one eye. Rey was silent looking at the woman, her heart rustling. Especially when the two meet each other. The usual cold eyes, this afternoon seemed so calm without rebellion. Is this the other side of the village girl?
The stories of the past he heard seemed to be slowly proven. Asthma is cold, but for strangers. Does that mean that after the wedding there will be a change? I don't know, there's only one to be grateful for. The girl stayed here and agreed to be his wife.
Zulaikha's mother and Rashid's father welcomed Asma, then congratulated him with an old man's kiss. A small family with real happiness. The best prayer strands flow from both lips that begin to wilt with age.
Slowly, but surely. Both Asma's parents handed over their youngest daughter turned into the hand of the last son-in-law. There are hopes, dreams and prayers in the fog of tears that still try to stand tall standing behind the fortress.
"Son, I'm handing over our naughty daughter for you to take care of and love. All this time, we gave Asma the freedom to decide her future. The soul is you. I pray that you love each other until death do you part."
"Not only the mother's husband, but the mother also has the same expectations for your relationship. May sakinah mawaddah warohmah. Mother's daughter has finally found her heart, take care of your husband as you've kept your heart all this time, Ndu."
Rey was moved, behind the cold attitude of Asthma. The girl has a love for the family, even tears are shed from both her parents. You can explain how the family loved each other. Rey accepts the hand that will now be her responsibility.
"Mom, Dad. From now on, you are my parents. This orphan has found his long-lost family. Thank you for entrusting your daughter to a man who is still learning to understand life."
No one can hold back his tears, an outpouring of heart that represents gratitude for the new marriage. One by one congratulating, as well as pak pengulu. Like a twilight that began to drown itself leaving darkness.
The event also ended, but they were still gathered in the room of the hotel hall. Rey continued to steal a glance at the wife, while those who were seen choosing silence did not flinch with their faces down. Was Asthma forced to do this marriage? If so, why not just go. Didn't he explain that.
Zulaikha's mother tried to refrain from staying strong because now, she had to let go of her daughter for a new life. "Son, are you going straight to Jakarta or what?"
"No, Ma. As I said. We will stay here for a week because we want to respect a mother's trust. So, Bahas has prepared a thanksgiving event so that the whole village knows. If Asma Reyhan Aditya already has."
It was not Rey who answered, but Bagas. The man was like a rollercoaster, soaring enthusiasm. Yet, it is precisely his blessing. Now two people are united in the sacred bond of marriage. May his soul mate come soon. Amyn.
