CH.2 - Forced to Marry Penghulu

“Lho, Afkar!” call Reyhan.

“Yeah, is Dad here?” ask Afkar who turned out to be Reyhan's son who became his predecessor.

“How did you not tell Dad to be a ruler here? This is Om Fadlan's house, remember?” reyhan's reply made Afkar seem to remember something.

“Owh, is this Om Fadlan's wedding? Dad did not say,” Afkar's word while walking ushered by Reyhan to where the dead table takes place.

Afkar sat next to Papa Fadlan as well as pak modin and KUA officers who faced the groom who was none other than Daffa.

“Alright, please the bride is called,” said Afkar as the ruler.

Latifah and Widya immediately picked up Zhafira in the room to take her to sit next to Daffa.

“Nak, come on, you have been waiting,” said Mama Latifah.

“Iya, Ma.” Zhafira walked up to her mother as well as her future father-in-law.

“Beauty you, son,” praise Widya for making Zhafira meet.

Zhafira flanked by Mama Latifah also Mama Widya. Behind Zhafira was Shara who always followed.

Now Zhafira was sitting beside Daffa. With berTO’a in heart so that the wedding will run smoothly.

“Good. Brother Daffa Pradipta, is it ready?” ask Afkar.

“Already, Sir,” replied Daffa.

“Please shake hands with Mr. Fadlan as the bride's guardian,” Afkar said.

Daffa took a deep breath. His hands shook with Fadlan as Papa of Zhafira.

“Bismillahhirohmannirrohim, brother of Daffa Pradipta, I marry and marry you to my biological daughter Zhafira Adzra Nadhifa binti Fadlan Amami Amri with a dowry a set of prayer tools as well as a diamond ring paid CASH.”

“Sa-I terim— ”

The Ring...The Ring...The Ring...

Suddenly Daffa's phone rang so hard that it stopped the marriage contract.

“Shortly, Om. I have to pick up the phone first,” Daffa said without waiting for a response from Papa Fadlan.

“Sa‐sayang,” says Zhafira gazing at Daffa's departure.

Do not know what is important to make Daffa prefer to leave the marriage contract which is certainly more important than everything.

“Daffa no important business huh, son?” papa Fadlan asked Zhafira.

“Fira did not know at all, Pa,” replied Zhafira who was right he did not know at all.

Shortly, Daffa returned. Zhafira smiled seeing Daffa's presence back at his side. However, who would have thought, it turned out that Daffa had just said something to Zhafira.

“Fir, sory, I have to go. Sorry, I can't continue this wedding,” Daffa told Zhafira right in front of Papa Fadlan as well as the entire family, brothers, and guests present.

Daffa conveniently left Papa Fadlan's house.

“Daf, Daffa!” shouted Zhafira.

“But why, Daf? Daffa!” asked Zhafira who was not ashamed to immediately shout out without caring about the gazes of the guests at this time.

Zhafira turned to look at Widodo and Widya who had been staring confusedly at her son who had just left.

“Tan?” call Zhafira as if asking for an answer from Daffa's departure.

“We don't know, son. We will follow Daffa,” said Widya immediately ran following the footsteps of her husband who was chasing Daffa.

Zhafira was so shocked, he could not think about how he was going ahead just because of the departure of Daffa when the ijab qobul took place.

“Kak, let me take you to the room,” said Syara, who was taken by Zhafira.

Zhafira was sobbing in the room accompanied by Syara.

While the situation is outside, it is being conditioned by Papa Fadlan and his family.

“This turns out, my hunch that is not good now has been clearly seen, Num,” said Latifah drooped limp.

“Fah, come in,” take Hanum while paying Latifah.

Daffa's departure made Mama Latifah and Zhafira shed her tears. Papa Fadlan was so unbearable to see two of his heirs crying.

Papa Fadlan was calmer when he saw Hanum accompanying his wife. That way, he will secure the atmosphere outside the house.

“Fathers, Mothers, we will try to contact the groom, please wait while enjoying the dishes that have been available,” said Fadlan.

Unlike Reyhan's father who invited his son into the house to talk something.

“Yeah, why?” ask Afkar.

“Can't you help the Fadlan family, son?” reply Reyhan's father who asked back.

“Afkar's job is only to help his Ijab qobulnya, Well. Yes it is better Afkar just wait for the groom to come back,” Afkar replied.

“No going back, Son. He had Latifah and her son beaten. Fadlan had already endured the shame. Can't you help, Afkar?” reyhan's father looked seriously at his son.

Afkar tried to think hard and did not get an answer.

“Afkar don't know what to help, Dad. Afkar can't help Om Fadlan, Well,” Afkar replied.

“If Dad asks for help, do you want, son?” ask Reyhan's father.

“Whatever it is. As long as Afkar can, Afkar does not mind helping Dad,” Afkar replied making Reyhan smile.

“Dad for help, help Fadlan. Please you are willing to marry Zhafira.”

“Gak, Dad. No way it's ,Dad ‘kan know yourself that Afkar already have aurel, Dad,” reject Afkar.

“You've been dating for how many years, and during that time Daddy and Mommy didn't see the same seriousness of your boyfriend. So, please fulfill this request of Father. I've never asked you for anything, son. So fulfill this one request of Father. I just feel like I owe a debt of gratitude to the Fadlan family, without this family, we're still street sweepers, son,” Reyhan's father explained.

“Daddy .. if others, Afkar is able to comply. But, if this one, Afkar can not,” Afkar reply.

“Afkar, do I need to prostrate with you, son?” asked Reyhan's father while looking down as if he wanted to prostrate.

“Yeah, Dad,” said Afkar held the body of the Father.

“Dad, don't be like this. All right, this is for Dad's sake, Afkar will follow Dad's request. But, on one condition. If this marriage has been six months and not going well. Afkar wants a divorce,” Afkar replies.

“Alright, Dad agrees.”

Afkar and Reyhan walked up to Fadlan who was frenzied pacing around looking for clarity from Daffa.

“Fadlan, come with me in!” exclaim Reyhan.

“Can't, Han, don't have the heart to see the wife's child so cry. How come I'm here, Han,” Fadlan's reply makes Afkar even more heartless to see Om Fadlan.

“There is something I will say,” said Reyhan who this time made Fadlan obey him to enter the house.

Now in the living room all gathered, Fadlan, Reyhan, Afkar, Latifah, and also Hanum. No other family and brothers were among them.

“Fah, please call Zhafira here,” Reyhan said.

“Well, what is this?” hanum asked with a confused look.

“Later mother will know,” Reyhan replied.

Latifah called someone, “Syara, please take Kak Fira to the living room, Nak,” Latifah said as the call connected.

Before long, Zhafira came and sat beside her mother and was immediately embraced by Zhafira.

“Ma, Fira does not deserve to be happy, yes?” asked Zhafira softly who could still be heard by the surroundings.

“Kak, already dong, Brother. Syara could not bear to see the big brother, Kak,” said Syara made Zhafira wipe her tears with tissue.

“Tante, Mama Papa hasn't arrived, huh?” Ask Syara.

“Numbered, Son. Try you hub—”

The Ring...The Ring...The Ring...

“Ha—halo? Who is this?” ask Latifah.

“ ..... ”

“Astagfirullah, where?”

“ ..... ”

“Alright, just drop off to my house immediately. I will share loc,” reply Latifah immediately turn off the phone.

“What's up, Tan?”

“Why, Ma?” ask Papa Fadlan along with Syara.

“Maya and Hexa Crash, Pa. And, they were found dead,” Latifah replied keeping Syara glued.

“Mama, Papa,”. Later, fainting.

“Pa, never mind, today no one is happy. Our son's marriage failed, my sister and her husband had an accident. Today is not for our family. Cancel the event today. Mama is not strong to see the decorations in front!” lahifah looked down sad. He felt very deep sadness.

Fadlan immediately lifted Syara's body, placed it on a long sofa in the family room.

“Cancelled, Ma?” ask Zhafira lirih.

“You too, it's obvious we didn't approve from the beginning, why even torture ourselves to make us forced to agree and now look daffa sdh make mama & papa shy.”

“Ma—forgive .. forgive Fira, Ma,” reply Zhafira lowered her head sadly.

Quite a long time silence was created in the family room, until Reyhan opened his voice.

“Fadlan, Latifah, I gathered you here. There's something I want to say. This is Afkar my son, the ruler of nak Zhafira. May I ask your son Zhafira as our daughter-in-law?” reyhan asked with full hope of helping the Fadlan family from this downturn.
