The necklace of cows was placed on a tray decorated in such a way as a photo of seven cows and seven hundred thousand dollars which became Zainal's dowry for Ani.
"It's ready.... Zainal?" Ask the pengghulu sir while reading Zainal's name on the paper in front of him.
"God willing.." Answer the groom with a tense face. He's nervous not a bitch. Everything in sight looked white to the point that Zainal had no idea who was in front of him except from his voice.
" The bride seems to be impatient, right? wait a minute Zainal....!" Mr. Penghulu tries to dilute the atmosphere so that the groom can be more relaxed. He then filled out and examined the documents that exist as completeness of marriage for civil registration of the country.
"The mating money is worth 700 thousand rupiah and seven cows ya mas....?" Said pak penghulu again.
"Yes right..." Answer Zainal steady.
The audience giggled the congregation felt funny because only now they heard the unusual dowry.
"Please ustadz can be started..." Pengulu said to Bang Alif after all the requirements and administration are met.
Bang Alif then invited all those present to read the shahadah together to make the atmosphere more melow like a parent who watched his children go to go to war.
"Zainal and Ani my sister confirmed your intentions again. The intention of your marriage is because of Allah because it follows the Rosululloh sunnah and wants to reach his ridho. Promise you to keep this marriage with all your heart, not a promise to man but a promise to the Almighty"
Ani who was behind the room barrier curtain with the other women could not hold back her tears.
" Have you memorized the ijab?" Ask Bang Alif.
"God willing bang...!" Zainal replied while nodding.
Bang Alif shook Zainal's hand then looked at the groom in front of him who was even more nervous because bang Alif did not immediately say the words.
Bang Alif took a deep breath then read the basmalah and tightened his hand.
"Brother Zainal..... I marry you to my brother Aniyah bint Abu Dardak with a dowry of seven hundred thousand and seven cows paid for it"
Zainal answered immediately, "I accept the marriage and marriage of Aniyah bint Abu dardak with the dowry in cash..."
"How are the witnesses?" Bang Alif asked while looking at the witnesses and the audience.
"Bright...."
The water ran down Zainal's cheeks. Feeling very happy because he can say kabul without mistakes and also because of his new status which is now officially a husband.
"Alhamdulilba.bil alamiin....." The whole audience is grateful because the promise mentioned in the Qur'an as one of the heavy covenants has been completed.
"Please pray, pengghulu..." Bang Alif spoke politely while raising his hand.
"Please ustdaz, I guarantee "Pak pengulu said as one hand invited.
" The older "who is more worthy of his prayer. Well..ask his prayer "Said bang Alif on sir Dirman.
Mr. Dirman began to raise his hand and pray. Melt tears do not stop flowing on the cheeks of the two lovebirds who are now officially a bride.
"Later her makeup cemong lho An....! Don't cry anymore...!" Whisper sister Mia while rubbing her sister-in-law's eyes with a tissue.
Ani also tried to stop her crying because she did not want to meet her husband her makeup was no longer perfect.
"Amin ya robbal alamiin..." Mr. Dirman had finished his prayer then rubbed his face with both palms as well as the guests present at that time.
"The bride was let in...!" Said pak penghulu.
Bang Alif then whispered with the pak pengulu who greeted the man with a sign of agreed.
"Syakiron hamidan kaanahul badru fi tamamih....!" Bang Alif's voice sounded very melodious.
Bang Alif stood up and the audience stood up.
"Yes Prophet ..salam alaika
yes Rosul salam alaika
Yes Habib salam alaika
Sholawatulloh.2x"
Zainal's mouth hummed the solawat but his heart was pounding waiting for the lover's appearance for the first time after they were legally married.
Bang Alif and Mr. Dirman took Ani on the right and left.
Zainal was glued when he saw his wife. How this beautiful girl face many times beautiful when she had met him often. The time of fitting clothes he also watched it. This girl named Ani also wears makeup every day even though it is very thin. Why does he shine like this. This is really my wife, right? Inner Zainal.
Ani who currently looks beautiful with white kebaya and veil from jasmine flowers, also looks amazed to see the face of her husband. Zainal's face, which was usually covered in fur, had now changed in appearance. Yes, Zainal has shaved his mustache and beard to almost clean, leaving only a little as a new hair grows and if in hold it feels trecep-trecep bigamana. it's ups!
Bang Alif brought together the hands of the new husband and wife who made both of them aware and immediately shook hands.
Ani kisses her husband's hand for the first time. Don't ask me what it's like. Like being electrocuted by thousands of watts. He closed his eyes to see how beautiful the world was.
Zainal also felt the same way and it felt like he wanted to take his wife to the room in order to give a kiss for the first time but he remembered the message of bang Alif when he first met his wife so that she could praying in his arms. Zainal did too. Putting his palm on the wife's forehead with a prayer while closing his eyes.
After they finished, the people stopped reading and they sat back down.
The next event was the signing of documents by the wife and then the photo session with holding a marriage book, shaking hands with her mother Zainal who is now officially her father-in-law and photos with the family.
The morning event before noon also ended with meals and distribution of gifts as gratitude and thanks to the invited guests for taking their precious time.
When her mother-in-law said goodbye she hugged Ani while whispering, "Don't be angry with Zainal ya An, mama has often scolded her. Poor thing....! If there's anything, just tell mama let mama get mad at him"
Ani nodded while commenting on her beautiful smile. However, a mother would not want her child to be hurt by anyone. Her father-in-law just patted her on the shoulder affectionately.
After most of the guests returned home Ani who had not had breakfast since morning now began to starve. He immediately walked into the kitchen to ask for food.
"Ee ee eh.... Where is the bride going?" Ask Brother Mia who saw her sister-in-law walking hastily while lifting a little of her rag.
"Seek for food, hungry...." Ani said while holding her stomach.
" Take your husband into the room and wait there. Food will be delivered soon. Today you become the queen so no need to bother, want nothing to stay the command "
Ani was silent and did not dare to move.
"Wait a minute, take your husband to the room ! He must be hungry, too..."
"Pretty brother..." Said Ani.
" Now say it's shameful. We see the next month, yes, definitely do not want to be left behind. Wherever you want to go.n aja...!" Says sister Mia in the renpong mode.
" Who wouldn't want to be left out?" Suddenly a male voice they were talking about was near Ani.
"Ehhem...."
"Ehm.... "
"Ehem.... There's a wife who's nyariin tuh....!"
Brother Mia, Laila and Karina who saw Zainal immediately cleared their throat teasing the two made Ani's face red. He immediately drew Zainal's hand into his room so as not to be seduced by his brothers.
Zainal saw his hand being pulled by his wife. He smiled and walked away happy.
"I can't wait...." Karina exclaimed as Ani and Zainal had entered the room.
Ani quickly closed the door and leaned against the door with her hand still holding her husband's hand.
Zainal waited curiously, wanting to know after this what his wife would do.
Now Ani is confused what to do because her heart beats fast as if racing and chasing each other.
Slowly she began to stretch her grasp and tried to let go of her husband's hand but Zainal was now taking control. He pulled his wife's hand until they were facing each other and their bodies began to cling to each other.
Dug dug dug dug
Without warning Zainal immediately kissed Ani's forehead for the first time. They closed each other's eyes to feel a strange rumble that spread throughout the body of both.
