Dreams of a Poor Girl
Chapter 42
Two weeks later.
Dirga and Zulfa are preparing to attend Iwan's wedding with Anis. However, on the other hand Zulfa actually felt astonished. Why she should wear a dress that is actually more suitable for the bride.
She wanted to ask her husband, but he retreated after seeing the appearance of her husband, who was wearing a tuxedo suit and black suit.
"Mas, this is why we're the brides, huh?" ask Zulfa.
"It's okay, Yang. Consider us newlyweds, too" replied Dirga.
"You're there anyway, Mas" said Zulfa, shaking his head.
"We're leaving now! Afraid of being late for their sacred show," Dirga asked.
"Yes, Mas. Come on!"
The two soon depart for the wedding venue Iwan and Anis held, unbeknownst to Zulfa, Dirga is preparing a surprise that will be the most beautiful memory for his wife.
After several tens of minutes of travel, Dirga and Zulfa had now arrived at a hotel.
"Mas, how are we here? Isn't it at the Iwan mas show house?" ask Zulfa confused.
"I asked for the show to be moved here, as a wedding gift as well as a thank you for being the person who always takes care of you" explained Dirga.
"We're in, yeah! They must have been waiting for you," continued Dirga and Zulfa nodded in agreement.
Dirga took Zulfa's hand and took him to the hall where the event took place. Upon arrival at the entrance of the hall, the two of them were immediately greeted by the invited guests who had already arrived.
"Mas, we're not at the wrong venue, are we?" whispered Zulfa with a hand that kept on writhing Dirga's hand.
"No, really. Indeed the show is here," Dirga replied with a meaningful smile.
When already inside the hall, Zulfa could see directly if Iwan and Anis were sitting in the hall. However, there are slightly different ones because there are two pairs of bridal chairs.
"Finally, you came too" said Iwan.
"Of course, this will be the most historic day for us" Dirga said.
"Fa, why stay quiet from now on?" anis asked with a smile that adorned her lips.
"It's okay, Ma'am. Still confused, it was at the invitation to the show at Mas Iwan's house not here," replied Zulfa.
"Wait on! How come Mas Iwan and Mbak Anis are already here? The marriage contract is over, right?" zulfa.
"The marriage was already this morning, now the recipe remains. As well as the reception for you, too," said Iwan.
"Who-you mean?" zulfa asked and looked at her husband as if asking for an answer.
"Today, I will hold our wedding reception and celebrate one year of our wedding" said Dirga.
"Dad!"
Deg
That voice, the voice that he had been missing all along, was that perhaps the person he had missed. Zulfa turned her body facing the source of the sound.
"Big-sister!" lirih Zulfa with a trembling voice held back the cries.
His feet slowly stepped towards his brother, he wanted to ascertain whether it was true or just his hallucination.
"Beautiful" praised Zahra and stroked Zulfa's cheek.
"Sister!"
Zulfa immediately hugged Zahra's body, he poured out all the longings that he was craving. Zahra too, she hugged her sister tightly because of her longing all this time.
"Sorry!" zahra said in her tears, while Zulfa shook her head.
Zahra broke her arms and cupped Zulfa's cheeks.
"Don't cry! You have to smile because today is the happy day for you and your husband" Zahra said.
"Sorry, Brother! I never said if I was married, I didn't mean to forget Brother" Zulfa said.
Because now there is the right person to replace Brother's duty. May you always be blessed with health and happiness" Zahra said with a smile.
"Aamiin's."
......................
Event after event has been carried out smoothly, now invited guests enjoy the dishes that have been served at the table.
"You wanna sing?" ask Dirga to Zulfa.
"No, Mom."
"Why?"
"So much to see" replied Zulfa.
"There's me, so there's no need to be ashamed. Come on!" bring Dirga.
Dirga immediately stood up and took Zulfa's hand to go to the stage. Dirga approached the keyboard player to ask for a song that he would sing.
Music began to flow, all the invited guests immediately turned their eyes on the bride. Zahra and the others watched.
This is what I am
Who wants to make you happy
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
As perfect as my love for you (Dirga)
This is what I am too
Who always wants to be beside you
I know that nothing is perfect
Under this sky (Zulfa)
Our path is long
I want you to always be here
Let our love, grow fragrant
And the world is a witness
Why we waste time
With farewell words
For our love, I will take care of
Our love, which we have built
Even though the day, keep changing again
Our love is forever
Dirga and Zulfa faced each other with eyes looking at each other with love. All guests immediately give applause to the bride and groom.
"I love you, Zulfa. Be a good wife and mother to me and our children. Stay by my side and age with me" said Dirga.
"Yes, Mas. I will try to be the best for you, guide me to always be on the right path. Thank you for accepting me with all my flaws" Zulfa replied.
"You're my everything, anything I'll do for you, even if it's my life."
Dirga immediately pulled Zulfa in his arms, while Zahra could not help but hold back her tears at the happiness of her only sister.
She was grateful, Zulfa had found the right person. Now he doesn't have to worry about Zulfa not being with him. However, until now both Zahra and Amir did not know the big secret that Zulfa was hiding, namely about the disease suffered by Zulfa.
