The expected day arrived. After the dawn prayer three MUA people had come to the house where Rahma lived. They are sent to first decorate the bride and will take her to the building where the wedding ceremony and reception takes place at exactly eight in the morning.


Busyness ensued in the house, everyone preparing to show their best performance on the wedding day of their loved one, Naura Rahmania. Rose gold color became the dress code for Rahma's wedding. Not only the nuclear family wears the same color. But the entire extended family had prepared the same special clothes as them.


Leaving the busyness at the residence of the family Rahma.


At the same time in a luxurious house precisely in a room that has shades of white ash looks a young man who is walking back and forth still wearing a cocoa shirt and sarong cloth after dawn prayers. His lips did not stop commuting, reciting sacred sentences that he would say in the future.


She was Tama, the closer the time for her to utter the qabul ijab, the more nervous it became on her face. Until it does not feel time continues to run, the morning sun is not realized Tama has crawled up and warm the universe.


Tama continued to recite the words ijab qabul, he did not want any errors in his pronunciation. Since the completion of the dawn prayer, continued with dhikr and do'a also tadarus he continued to repeat the series of sacred sentences. A sentence that would make it lawful over a Naura Rahmania.


"I accept..."


tock..tok...


Either the exercise I how many times the sentence was finally cut off by the sound of a knock on the door of Tama's room.


"Mama, what's wrong?" tanya Tama with her innocent face, in her hand a piece of paper inscribed with the phrase ijab qabul is still grasped.


"Astaghfirullah Tama, why aren't you ready? I still wear that glove!" mama's loud voice jolted Tama who only gawked at the reaction of the mama as she opened the door and asked.


"Do you know what time it is?" follow Mama Tama still with a loud voice because annoyed to see her son who was still dressed the same when performing the morning prayer.


"Huh? what time is it ma?" Tama turned her gaze towards the wall clock that was attached to the wall of her room.


"Huh, seven o'clock? why mama did not tell me anyway" with a surprised tone Tama even blamed the mother for her delay in preparing even though today was the day she was waiting for.


"You are yes" said Mama Tama stopped because the son immediately darted towards the bathroom after opening the sarong and koko clothes in a hurry.


Thirty minutes passed, Tama was ready with a suit designed specifically for brides with the same color as the kebaya worn by Rahma.


"Mama, we will be late" this time Tama who is chasing the mama who is still busy to and fro checking every car that will go to the building where the wedding of the son took place.


It was not without reason that Mama Tama did that, she wanted to make sure that no one was left behind. For the special moment of the son he intervened directly to take care of all the things needed. Mama Tama does not want to lose this precious moment in her life, preparing and giving her best for the historic day of the son, her only child.


"Before, another one" shouted Mama Tama from the car parked right behind the luxury sedan car that the bridegroom and her parents would ride to the building where the contract took place.
