At the End of my Waiting

Chapter 65 (Rendi and Zahira's Wedding)

Upon reaching his home, Daddy Indra dragged Aira into the room.

"From now on Daddy won't let you out of this room" cried Daddy Indra.

"No, Aira doesn't accept that Daddy's been treating Aira unfairly."

"From the first Daddy has helped you many times to get Ken, even yesterday Daddy helped you to get Rendi, but you always failed. As for Zahira, even though she was handicapped, but Zahira could easily get Rendi."

"Dad gives Aira another chance, Aira promises to bring Rendi to her knees in front of Aira. Does Daddy want it if everyone finds out that Daddy has a disabled child?"

"Had enough Daddy to give you a chance. Just so you know, that Rendi will take Zahira abroad to do the installation of prosthetic legs on Zahira. Today, technology is getting more sophisticated, and Zahira will be able to walk normally without using a wheelchair."

Aira was getting angry to hear everything, especially when Daddy Indra locked himself in the room.

"I have to figure out a way to thwart Zahira and Rendi's marriage. If I can't marry Rendi, I won't let Zahira live happily with Rendi either" Aira said, clenching her hands together.

Daddy Indra asked Grandma Puspa to help her stay at Airlangga's residence for a while, because Daddy Indra was afraid that Aira would hurt Zahira, until Rendi decided to marry Zahira tomorrow, so that Rendi can bring Zahira treatment abroad, especially Rendi continues to remember Nabila, so Rendi all want to see the condition of Nabila in Singapore.

"How is this, I can't possibly look for evidence of Daddy's crimes if I stay at Aunt Puspa's house. I'd better call Mama to help me find all the evidence, so that Mama and I can be forever free from Daddy's cruelty" Zahira murmured.

Zahira calls Mama Risa to ask for help in finding evidence of Daddy Indra's crimes, and Zahira has said that she will marry Rendi.

Although at first Mama Risa felt surprised and thought that if Rendi only used Zahira, she was surprised, but Mama Risa is happy when she hears that Rendi will take Zahira to perform a prosthetic leg surgery abroad after they get married religiously tomorrow.

Moments later, Rendi knocks on Zahira's room door to discuss their plans.

"Zahira, have you told Aunt Risa that we're getting married tomorrow?" ask Rendi.

"Here you are, I've also asked Mama for help to help us find proof of Daddy's crime."

"If the evidence is not there, you can ask your mother to record an Om Indra conversation with Aira who said that Om Indra had caused both my parents to crash" said Rendi.

"Well Mas, later Zahira will tell Mama, especially before Aira and Daddy have threatened each other, if Daddy gets married to us, Aira will tell all of Daddy's crimes to Aunt Puspa and Mas Rendi, respectively, but maybe now Aira is locked up by Daddy in the room.

"Then you tell Mama Risa that she let Aira go, and we'll see what Aira does."

Zahira again calls Mama Risa to ask for help in freeing Aira, and of course Mama Risa agrees after Zahira tells her the reason.

"Thank you very much Zahira, then now you rest, because tomorrow we will get married."

"Mas, on Daddy's behalf, Zahira apologized profusely, because Daddy had committed a great crime that caused both of Mas Rendi's parents to die."

"Zahira, you don't need to apologize for a crime you didn't commit, let alone tomorrow you'll be my wife."

Zahira was pensive to hear the words of Rendi, because Zahira still did not believe that Rendi would marry her.

"Why do you keep daydreaming?" asked Rendi who saw Zahira just shut up.

"Mas, Zahira was afraid that Mas Rendi would regret marrying Zahira. Shouldn't Mas Rendi rethink Mas Rendi's decision?"

"My decision has been unanimous Zahira, God willing I will never regret it, and I will learn to love you and try to make you happy" said Rendi, holding both shoulders Zahira, and Zahira's eyes looked teary at Rendi's words.

"Now, you rest yes, hopefully tomorrow everything goes smoothly" said Rendi who was in Amini by Zahira.

Rendi goes outside from inside Zahira's room to her room, and Rendi calls her Uncle and Aunt to tell her that she will marry Zahira tomorrow.

Pak Udin and Bu Fatimah really hope that Rendi will forget about Nabila and open a new page with Zahira even though all of that might be difficult for Rendi to do, but Rendi was already determined to be a good husband and priest for Zahira.

After calling his adoptive parents, Rendi calls Ken, but Ken doesn't pick him up, as Ken is taking Nabila to the Hospital, after Nabila fainted for hours and Nabila did not wake up as well.

Because of his panic, Ken forgot not to bring his cellphone, and along the way to the Hospital, Ken continued to cry for Nabila.

At this time Ken brought Nabila to the IGD room, and the Doctor rushed to handle Nabila.

"Should you please calm down, we will do our best for Madam" said the Doctor.

Ken kept pacing back and forth in front of the IGD room, until finally the Doctor came out from inside the IGD room.

"Dok, how's my wife doing?" ask Ken who looks panicked.

"It is better for your wife to be admitted to the Hospital, so that we can continue to monitor her condition, especially at this time the condition of the Patient is critical" replied the Doctor.

Ken immediately dropped his body on the floor, because Ken was so devastated to hear the words of the Doctor, and Ken was afraid to lose Nabila.

"We will do our best for your wife, so please help her pray" said the doctor, then left Ken in front of the IGD room.

Some time later, Nabila was moved to the ICU room, because the current condition of Nabila is still critical.

Ken continued to cry by holding Nabila's hand.

"Mother must be strong, Father will always be here waiting for Mommy" said Ken.

With a heavy heart Ken released his handrails against Nabila, because Nabila was brought into the ICU room, and Ken could only see Nabila from the ICU room windshield.

Although at this time we are blocked by the barrier wall, but Mother will always be in the heart of Father, as well as Father who will always be in the heart of Mother. Mother must be strong for us, said Ken from behind the glass with a clear circle that continues to flow on his cheeks, especially now that Nabila installed various tools on his body in order to survive.

......................

The next morning, everyone was preparing to attend Rendi and Zahira's wedding to be performed religiously at Airlangga's residence.

In addition to Penghulu and the Witnesses, the marriage of Rendi and Zahira was only attended by both Zahira's parents, and Grandma Puspa only.

At this time Rendi was in front of Penghulu to say the sacred promise of marriage, and a while later, Zahira who had finished dressing up, assisted by Mama Risa who pushed Zahira's wheelchair to come to the venue will be held.

Rendi was so fascinated to see Zahira's beauty, that Rendi did not blink her eyes.

"How about young master, are you ready to say Ijab kabul?" ask Penghulu.

"God willing I am ready Sir" replied Rendi steadily.

Rendi shakes the hand of Daddy Indra who will be the Wedding Regent for Zahira, then Rendi pronounces the ijab kabul marriage loudly.

After the witnesses declared Rendi and Zahira Sah's Marriage, Daddy Indra smiled cunningly, because his dream of mastering the Airlangga family property would soon be realized.

Goodbye Nabila, from now on, I will open a new page with Zahira who has officially become my wife, said Rendi in her heart.

Zahira kissed the back of Rendi's hand, then Rendi kissed Zahira's forehead, but moments later, they heard the voice of a woman who was none other than Aira.

"Stop this Wedding !!"
