First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 23 Legitimate!

"Astaghfirullahaladzim Mirna! Stop that shit. You're outrageous Mirna. Didn't you tell me to marry him? So what are you doing now?" the sound of Ustad Fariz's shout distracted everyone in the room.

Rhea who was silent in the middle of the stairs was shocked by the screams and swearing of Mirna earlier, now she was shocked by the sound of the screams of Ustad Fariz. It felt like he couldn't go anywhere, he didn't want to go down because there was Ustad Fariz and Mirna who seemed like they had to talk to each other, and he also could not go up because it would definitely be very awkward.

Ustad Fariz looked up at the stairs and he was a little surprised to see Rhea there. He stared regretfully as if his eyes apologized to Rhea.

"Mas, you are evil, you will get married when I am not home, you are not even looking for me, you are evil Mas, evil," cried Mirna excitedly by banging on the chest of Ustad Fariz.

But Ustad Fariz's eyes kept looking at Rhea who lowered her head and remained on the stairs.

Umi Sarifah pulled Rhea down the stairs and sat in the living room. Ustad Jaki told Ustad Fariz and Mirna to sit in the living room.

Indeed, it should have been from a long time ago they had to meet on one occasion so that there would be no more misunderstandings that could hurt their hearts.

Umi Sarifah opened her voice by asking the cause of Mirna shouting without courtesy inside the house.

Mirna began to blame her husband for his behavior earlier. And also Mirna blames Rhea as the woman that causes her husband who no longer cares about her.

Ustad Fariz refuted all of Mirna's accusations, but before Ustad Fariz continued, Ustad Jaki blamed Mirna for refusing to accept her duties and duties as a wife.

"A wife must have permission from her husband before going anywhere and a wife must also keep her promise. Did Miss Mirna do it all?" ustad Jaki insinuates Mirna.

"Myrna, you left without my permission, and I've been looking for you too, I know where you are. And as for the matter of me marrying Rhea, we've discussed it over and over again right? Who told me to marry Rhea? You didn't forget, did you? So what's the problem now?" Ustad Fariz could not stand Mirna's childlike attitude, like to win on her own.

"But Mas, you should have picked me up even if I didn't give you permission" said Mirna, who still didn't want to lose.

"It's already.. this show tomorrow will take place, you better not fuss about things like this anymore, not nice to hear others," said Umi Sarifah mediate their debate.

"Why didn't he ask my permission first?" Mirna pointed her index finger at Rhea.

"Huh? The truth is, Miss Mirna is already ngijinin, why should Rhea ask permission again? Ask to be worshipped like a queen? Or like an employer?" tanya Ustad Jaki who was already very upset and furious with Mirna's attitude.

"It's Ustad, '" Rhea stopped Ustad Jaki's speech.

"Mbak Mirna, I'm sorry if anything went wrong and I ask for Ms. Mirna's blessing for our marriage" Rhea said in a trembling voice withstanding shame and heartache.

"Zahra..," Ustad Fariz could not bear to see his Zahra like that.

Umi Sarifah hugged Rhea to give her strength and whispered a word of encouragement to her.

Rhea looked at Umi Sarifah's face, then she smiled and nodded at him.

After that Ustad Fariz told Mirna to go home and not be allowed to go out without her permission even though only in the Pondok Pesantren area.

Today also comes, the day that Rhea will change status to a wife. Pleasure, deg-degan and haru become one waiting for the legitimate word thrown by the witnesses.

This is where Rhea is now, she is sitting anxiously in her room in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin. His mind wandered everywhere, the fear that he did not feel yesterday when he decided to accept the proposal from Ustad Fariz now suddenly came.

Suddenly Rhea was afraid that this event would be chaotic and not according to plan. Until the word 'Sah!' sounding loud in her ears, Rhea was a little able to breathe a sigh of relief, and when she heard the chanting of the sweet voice of the surah Ar-Rahman which she believed was the voice of her husband, she said, her eyes glazed over and her tears dripped unexcusedly on her cheeks which were now polished with a very beautiful make up.

The door to Rhea's room opened and Rhea's mother and Umi Sarifah came to pick Rhea up to go out to meet her husband.

Rhea who was helped to walk to sit next to her husband by her mother and Umi Sarifah did not dare to show her face, she always looked down embarrassed in front of everyone. Until she sat down and in front of her was a hand, then she looked up and saw it was her husband's hand that she should kiss as a sign of respect.

After that, Ustad Fariz kissed Rhea's forehead so soulfully that it shook Rhea's heart.

The eyes of the two of them met, admiring each other's partner. And their smiles incessantly expanded with gratitude in their hearts.

Mirna had been wanting to mess up the atmosphere, she sat down near Umi Sarifah and wanted to come forward to say that she did not approve of the marriage, but Umi Sarifah held her hand and told her that Mirna would mess up the event for sure which would be a shame to her own because later everyone would know everything that Mirna said was not true.

Finally Mirna sat back near Umi Sarifah unsettled. Many times he changed positions and muttered softly so that no one could hear him, only vague murmurs heard by those next to him.

Mr. Ratih and Mr. Adrian were moved to see the two brides were now officially a couple. Never would they have imagined if the two men could finally unite in marriage after the many bitterness that they both feel until now they are united by the almighty.

But Rhea's father and mother still had fears about their son's relationship with Mirna, the first wife of Ustad Fariz who seemed to dislike Rhea, but strangely even she told her husband to marry her. The question they could not ask Ustad Fariz who is now their son-in-law.

After the ijab kabul event and the photos are done, now the newlyweds go into the room to change clothes, and the, while the other guests are enjoying the dishes that have been served in the tent in the yard that has been prepared.

An awkward atmosphere occurred inside the bridal room. Rhea is very shy and awkward to be in a room with her idol Ustad who has now officially become her husband.

Ustad Fariz smiled at Rhea who was bowed shyly sitting on the edge of the bed. Ustad Fariz understood what Rhea was feeling, because she felt the same way as Rhea, groggy, gnarled and pounding. He did not feel it when he married Mirna, his first wife.

Rhea raised her head to look towards the front as Ustad Fariz gathered in front of her.

"Rheina Az Zahra, my wife. Now you are my Zahra" said Ustad Fariz, smiling sweetly with Rhea's hands.

Rhea's heart rippled and her heart beat so fast that she didn't realize she was just staring at her husband without speaking.

Suddenly the sound of knocking on the door blew away the lookout activity looking at them. The screams from Ustad Jaki paused their moment together for the first time as Ustad Jaki told them to change their clothes immediately, and their MUA was already waiting at the door.

After changing into a wedding dress with a different model and color, now they are in the guarantee. The aura of happiness of the newlyweds is felt by everyone present at the event.

The courtyard in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin is so spacious that the tent that was set up to cover all the pages was full by invited guests.

All the santri helped the event because they really liked the person of Rhea who was very different from Bu Mirna, the first wife of their Kyai.

Almost all the invited guests praised Rhea's beauty so much that it made Mirna's ears very disturbed and her heart was very jealous because everyone liked and admired Rhea.

Mirna walked back and forth in the room. She wants to take her husband with her tonight. He wants to destroy the wedding night of Ustad Fariz and Rhea.

Mirna thinks she's gonna ruin their first night as a husband and wife. His brain was thinking very hard. The various ideas he gathered for him to choose as his original plans tonight.

Mirna dressed up as pretty as possible and she went to Umi Sarifah's house. Ustad Jaki who still helps to improve the living room was surprised by the existence of Mirna there at the hour that should he not leave the house.

Mirna asked Ustad Jaki where her husband was. And Ustad Jaki also said that Ustad Fariz was not there. But Mirna did not despair, for she had many reasons.

Ustad Jaki ignored all of Mirna's talk, she was just busy cleaning up the living room, so Mirna was very upset. Mirna went up to the upper room, which is a room that is used as a bridal room with a very beautiful decoration outside the room, so everyone knows if the room is a room belonging to the bride.

Mirna opened the door of the room easily and it turned out to be disappointment and annoyance that she got. The room was empty and there were no occupants at all. And the room was still very neat as if it was untouched.

Ustad Jaki smiled from under the stairs looking at Mirna who was nagging like a madman for not finding her husband in the room.
