Flower Widow

Chapter 21

''This is what we were waiting for at dawn!! Masha Allah... gorgeousyaaaa..'' exclaimed pak Penghulu who turned out to be his best friend Father Rani before dying.

''Ali!! Bring her bride!'' yell again.

Uncle Ali rolled his eyes lazily. ''Ck! basic aki-aki! it's old too, still know which one is clear which one isn't!'' suluh Uncle Ali.

Reza and Airin who had been arguing since then, suddenly fell silent. He heard that his bride was already there. Which means the girl is his sister-in-law's candidate.

Curious, Reza looked over.

The deg!

Reza was glued, his body sculpted. His eyes are perfectly round. Unconsciously he said,

''You!! you hit me a week ago! when we're at the Mall?!!'' exclaim Reza loudly.

Rani looked over, Eh? Is the food here too?? Same who??'' ask Rani.

Everything there is stupefied.

Uncle Ali chuckled. ''You already know your Pakde son Rani??'' ask her.

Rani was surprised, What?! pakde Rustam's son??''

''Ya! he's that Reza. Her sister is your future husband!'' added again.

''Huh?! Just pantes! his face was very similar to Fatih's. When I first met at the Mall last Sunday, I almost called him Bang Fatih. But it wasn't!'' rani explained.

Uncle Ali chuckled again. ''Why are you Za?? How can you be??''

Reza shook his head, I don't understand yet! what the hell is this?! This girl, who I told my brother about a week ago! Brother remember??'' ask Fatih.

Fatih nodded, Ooh. Ah, yes Aisyahrani who Abang said to you yesterday, this is the one! Daughter of Uncle Alam and Aunt Sarasvati! He is also the nephew of Uncle Ali. Right Uncle??'' ask Fatih

''Yes, of course! Rani is my only niece from Bang Alam!'' saith

''What's a?! Nope! not possible?! Uncle must be wrong! Didn't Aisyahrani die twenty years ago?? Then why is it here now?! Nope! I don't believe it!'' refute Reza.

''I do not believe it already, after all you will also know when they are married.'' said Uncle Ali relaxed.

Everyone was stunned to hear the debate between the nephew and his Uncle.

''Yes, it has started! good time will soon pass! let's bang, let's start!'' the cry to Mr. Penghulu.

''Alright, if it has been gathered all, now is the time we will do the process of ijab qobul between nak Rani and Fatih. It turns out they're cousins on Dad's side, huh? In Islam it is permissible to marry cousins, except those already listed in the Quran that should not marry a mahram. Rani and Fatih are not mahrams. Both Fatih and Rani's parents are not siblings, but Fatih's grandfather and Rani's grandfather were brothers. In other words, Brother's grandson with great grandchildren! that's roughly. To shorten the event, let us first listen to the recitation of the holy verse of the Qur'an, which will be read by the brother of Revelation bin Selamet. To our brothers please.'' said pak penghulu.

Each event arrangement has been prepared by Fatih within one day. Everything is in accordance with Rani's wishes.

Just get married without any walimatul ursyi event. Because Rani doesn't want it. But all of Rani's neighbors and friends were invited, including Rani's students at TPQ.

The recitation of the holy verse of the Qur'an recited by Revelation touched the hearts of Rani and Reza. Fatih and Airin are too. They dissolve in silence.

After finishing with the recitation of the holy verse of the Qur'an, the next event is a welcome from the heads of RT and RW. Also welcome from uncle Ali. But he refused it.

He wanted to hand Rani over first, only then he gave a little advice, in other words Rani's handover.

''Alright, to shorten the time, the event will be continued by marrying sister Rani to brother Fatih. For that we invite Mr. Ali as guardian of Rani to marry him directly.'' said pak penghulu.

''Alright, is there anything lacking??'' ask uncle Ali.

''There!'' sahut Airin's.

''What's the Deck??'' ask Fatih.

''Mom and Dad haven't come yet Bang! do they not know the address?? Was it Adek sharelock? The time' hasn't arrived yet??'' ask her.

Fatih looked here and there. True said Airin, if both parents are not there yet. And just as he wanted to get up from his seat, the two middle-aged men entered.

''Assalamualaikum.sorry we are late!'' said Pakde Rustam.

''It's okay my bro! you are not late! the new show will start!'' said pak penghulu.

''Yo, bro! yes, just continue, '' he said to pak penghulu.

''Well, now is the time to marry you two, Fatih brother already know what to read for ijab??''

Fatih nodded, ''Yes.''

''Before marrying the two of you, first we read the shahadah tain.'' said Mr. Penghulu. After his ijab was immediately pronounced.

Uncle Ali shook hands with Fatih,

''Listen to me carefully brother Fatih! Bismilbirrahmanirrahim, by saying Asyhadunganla ilaha ilallah, Waasyhadanna muhammadurrasulullah. Brother Fatih bin Rustamsyah, I married and I marry you with my nephew Aisyahrani bint Muhammad Alamsyah with a gold dowry ring weighing 5 grams and a set of prayer tools paid in cash!''

''I received the marriage and marriage of Aisyahrani bint Muhammad Alamsyah for me with a gold dowry ring weighing 5 grams and a set of prayer tools paid for in cash!''

''How's witness?? Sah??

''Well!''

''Well!''

''Alhamdulillah, barakallahu 'alaikuma wabaroka 'alaikuma fi khair....''

After the recitation of prayers for the two brides, then it is time for Rani to greet Fatih and Fatih to pair the Rani Mahar that has been set.

''Alhamdulillah, now Rani has become your wife Fatih. I as Uncle handed Rani over to you in order to become your outfit! Lead her, guide her to be a wife of Sholehah. I leave Rani in good condition to you! For example, something happened in the relationship between the two of you that resulted in you choosing to part with Rani, then return Rani to me well. Just as I gave up his life for you to lead, you have to put it back in good working order."

"I'm Uncle Rani as Rani's guardian in place of my late brother, Bang Alam handed Rani to you with all my heart, if anything happens to him that you don't want, you have the right to reprimand him. Because the nature of a husband is a guide not a punisher! Remember Fatih, I reiterate once again loving Rani as much as you love your little sister! And you Rani, obey all the commands of your husband, follow wherever you go, because now your paradise is with him. And if Fatih makes a mistake, rebuke well. Because the reflection of the Sholehah woman lies in her character! May your marriage always be blessed with the Grace of Allah SWT. May mawadah warohmah Rohmah. Amiiin'' said Uncle Ali.

All were moved by the message conveyed by Uncle Ali. But no one was there, he displayed his smirk smile.
