Wisdom of Love: KALA LOVE TREATS WOUNDS
GOD IS SO GOOD

The atmosphere of the hotel where the event took place seemed to have been filled by invited guests. Some are cool chatting with other guests, some have tasted the dishes served, some even began to fidget in their seats while occasionally looking at the watch attached to his hand.

Today's wedding schedule is 10:00 in the morning, but until 11:00 the event has not started, let alone the event, the bride has not seen her nose.

Rabiah who had been sitting sweetly in the guest chair was apparently also looking for Khadijah, several times he called his number, but only the voice of the operator he heard.

"Where is Khadijah?" he thought while looking at the entire corner of the room to the special part of the family who was near the stage pelaminan.

"I'm!" call someone from behind, making Rabiah immediately turn around.

"Abi and ummi are coming too?" asked Rabiah a little surprised when he saw his parents come in throngs.

"Yes son, Rahul called us earlier, he said there was something important he wanted to say" Yasmin replied.

"Sister Rahul? It's not that Rahul's brother is still in the car," Rabiah thought confused.

"Abi and ummi are here, can you come with Rahul for a moment?" asked Rahul who came from behind.

Without speaking, Yusuf and Yasmin immediately followed Rahul to a place, while Rabiah preferred to remain in his place while waiting for Khadijah's arrival.

"It seems, eating while waiting is better, already hungry," Rabiah monologue rubbed his stomach and then moved from his seat and went to get food.

Fifteen minutes later, the, Rabiah who was still busy chewing food was suddenly stunned by the arrival of Khadijah who looked so beautiful walking towards the family seat of the bride with her mother and father on the side.

"God is very beautiful," the inner Rabiah was fascinated by the beauty of his friend. By wearing a modern white kebaya dress, Khadija is not only beautiful, but she is also very graceful.

Shortly after, Rahul and Yusuf and Yasmin also entered and sat in the groom's chair.

"Oh my God, Rahul why are you sitting there? Abi and Ummi also why follow along, my goodness, do they not know a seat for guests," Rabiah's mind then waved his hand towards Rahul, intending to resuscitate Rahul will be mistaken.

Still scooping food into the mouth, Rabiah took his phone to contact Rahul, but just about to press Rahul's number, the MC voice called the groom to advance to the aqad table, and the voice of the MC called the groom to go forward, and Rahul immediately got up from his seat and walked towards the aqad table with a flat expression.

For a moment Rabiah was silent, his mind felt blank, like a broken cassette that stopped all his activities including chewing food.

Until when Khadijah's father shook Rahul's hand and began to mention lafadz aqad,

"Ananda Rahul Ad-Dzikra Yusuf ibn Yusuf I marry you to my daughter Khadijah Nurul 'Aini bint Safar..-"

Burrrrs

Spontaneous food that was inside Rabiah's mouth gushed out so smoothly that it made him cough in shock, making the guests nearby turn to him with a strange look, causing him to cough, but it did not divert Rabiah's gaze from Rahul at all, he even stood up from his seat with a face so confused. As with Rabiah, some invited guests were also confused because of the change in the name of the groom.

"I accept his marriage, Khadijah Nurul 'Aini bint Safar with the dowry in cash because of Allah," Rahul said loudly in a breath.

Rabiah's body immediately suffocated, he again sat in his place with a blank look. True, Rabiah did want Khadija and Rahul to get married, but he never expected that his hope was real, especially Rabiah had clearly seen a photo of Khadijah's future husband before, then where was the man? Why is it that the one who is married to Khadijah is now Rahul? What the hell's going on? That's how he thought.

After going through several processions, Rahul and Khadijah now sit together on the stage.

There was clearly awkwardness between the two, though they still tried to smile as the invited guests came to offer him congratulations and prayers.

"Sister, does Rabiah not know about this yet?" khadijah asked open his voice after a few minutes they were silent to each other.

"It doesn't seem to."

"fast."

"Why why?"

"It is fitting that he has been staring intently at us."

Rahul then turned to look for the figure of Rabiah in the midst of the invited guests, and rightly, apparently since Rabiah was staring intently at them from below.

Glug

Rahul can only swallow his saliva, he completely forgot to invite Rabiah to come to discuss when his unexpected plan goes.

*Flashback*

After feeling calmer, Rahul finally decided to enter the venue. But the sound of a woman's cry stopped her steps.

Out of curiosity, Rahul follows the voice until it is heard more clearly. He was about to see it directly but the voice of the man who was talking with the woman made Rahul undo his intentions.

"Khadija, I'm sorry, I can't continue this marriage" the man said.

"I'm sorry deck, but I already have a lover, I can't possibly betray her, let alone yesterday she said if she was pregnant,"

"What's? Pregnant?"

"Yes, we've been in a relationship for a long time before we met, I can't go on with this because I have to take responsibility for what I've done,"

The woman was silent for a moment.

"You ladies, you certainly know the best move I should choose right? Therefore, let me go," the man said and left.

Now only the sound of roaring cries from the woman he now knows is Khadijah.

Rahul's heart was racing, for some reason his heart seemed to be in pain when he learned the fact of Khadijah's marriage. It felt like he wanted to approach Khadijah at that time but he said when the Khadijah family came to him.

"Why you, baby? And where's Alex? Soon his will begin" asked Khadijah's father, but received no response from Khadijah.

"Darling, what's wrong? Please tell us, we are very worried to see you like this," said Khadijah's mother while hugging her only child.

Instead of directly answering, Khadijah even back sobbing, making both his parents and Alex's parents who also came grew worried.

"Sister Alex is gone" Khadijah said.

"What?" alex's parents were so shocked.

"Astgahfirullah," said Khadijah's father and mother who was also very surprised.

Alex's parents and Khadijah's parents are now in serious talks, even Alex's mother was seen several times contacting Alex but was unsuccessful.

"I'm sorry we let you down" Alex's father said later.

After a while of talking, Alex's parents were forced to go home with shame, disappointment and anger because of his son's actions.

"Oh my God, what now?" ask Khadijah's mother who still hugs Khadijah.

"We cancel it, how else, everything has happened, just consider it a test for us and our daughter" Khadijah's father said about to go cancel the event.

"Wait for me" said Rahul who suddenly came out from behind the wall. Khadijah's father and mother compactly turned to the source of the voice except for Khadijah who was still in the arms of the mother.

"What's up, son?" ask Khadijah's father.

"I'm sorry, I overheard your conversation, by mistake,"

"It's okay son, in the end everything will also be revealed" replied Khadijah's father.

"Look, instead of the show being canceled, and making the om and Khadijah feel uncomfortable with the guests, I am willing to marry Khadijah and replace the man who left earlier" Rahul said, making both of Khadijah's parents instantly silent, even Khadijah who had been in his mother's arms had finally turned to see the man who had dared to offer himself at a time like this.

"Sister Rahul?" lirih Khadija's.

"You know him, baby?" asked Khadijah and Khadijah's mother to nod.

"No son, marriage is not a toy that can be so easily changed positions, more than that, marriage is worship, starting with the pleasure of God, and, keep it intact with the love and mercy of God."

"Yes, but I'm not kidding, I seriously want to marry Khadijah,"

"Maybe om pretended I was joking or even took advantage of the situation to my advantage, but I had no such intention,"

"Then why do you suddenly want to marry my daughter son?" asked Khadijah's mother, while Khadija just silently waited for an answer from Rahul with a chest that began to rumble.

If his chest had rumbled in shock at the circumstances, then his chest was rumbling at this moment because of a feeling he himself could not define.

"Because I love Khadija om" Rahul's great-grandson then lowered his head.

Deghs

Khadijah's heart beat faster, making his blood flow faster, until his face red. A sense of happiness as if entering into his soul was treating the wound he had just received.

"God is so kind, takes me away from the man who does not love me, and meets the man who loves me," his inner self with tears that flow back but with a different mood of course.
