God's Choice of Mate

my choice.

The car driven by Mr. Budi has arrived at the parking lot of the Imandar family residence. There was a tense and happy face drawn in faintly on the face of Ustad Fariz. Slowly Mr. Budi and Ustad Fariz descended simultaneously, their footsteps immediately headed to the living room where Ummah, Abi and Enjid were waiting.

"Assalamu'alaikum, " said Ustad Fariz and Pak Budi simultaneously.

Everyone in the living room answered the greeting uttered by Mr. Budi and Ustad Fariz, "Wa'alaikumussalam Warohmatulohi Westarokatuh. "

Ustad Fariz kissed the hands of Ummah, Abi and Enjid in turn. "Alhamdulillah, you have finally arrived at the house son, " said Ummah looking happy.

"Why are you two so late and so long at home? Is there something with Nak Roy?, "ask Enjid looked at Pak Budi and Ustad Fariz in turn.

Mr. Budi smiled and sat not far from the mosque sitting, while Ustad Fariz sat next to Ummah.

"When we came home Nak Roy was still in the doctor's examination of Njid, but when Nak Fariz and I wanted to go down to the parki place suddenly we were both shocked by the presence of his mother Nak Aisyah, " said Mr. Budi.

Ummah also looks unhappy at the news conveyed by Mr. Budi, "You what else does Aisyah's mother meet you Mr Budi?Is there anything he said?."

Mr. Budi showed an uncomfortable facial expression to the question from Ummah. In the heart of Pak Budi there is regret why he said to meet with Kak Aisyah's mother.

Ummah looked at Pak Budi seriously and waited for Pak Budi to answer a question from him, but Pak Budi immediately fell silent.

"Sir is silent instead, " said Ummah.

Mr. Budi was jolted, "Akh, it's Miss Princess only. "

Mr. Budi looks nervous and stammered.

Seeing the demikan state of Pak Budi, finally made Ustad Fariz who explained to Ummah.

"It's okay Ummah, Ukhti Aisyah's mother just wants Fariz to meet Ukhti Aisyah, " explains Ustad Fariz while holding the hand of Ummah.

Ummah looked anxiously at Ustad Fariz, "Then did you meet Ayesha, son?."

Ustad Fariz shook his head, "No Ummah. Fariz and Budi immediately rushed home, as requested from Ummah. "

Ummah smiled slightly with a look of his face that looks relieved while patting the face of his eldest son slowly.

While Mr. Budi also felt relieved because he was free from Ummah questions.

Abi, who had been listening to everything, now began to talk about the marriage of Ustad Fariz and myself.

"Well then, soon we'll have a marriage between Fariz and Rani. Oh yes Fariz do you agree if you get married on this day with Rani?, "asked Abi seriously.

Ustad Fariz smiled, "God willing whenever Fariz's time is ready. Then what about Dek Rani, did anyone ask her?."

Ummah patted Ustad Fariz's shoulder slowly, "Just relax, son, Ummah will talk to Rani after this. "

Ustad Fariz nodded, "All right Ummah, but Fariz asked Ummah not to force Dek Rani if indeed Dek Rani is not ready to marry Fariz today also then it is okay Ummah. Leave Dek Rani until she is completely ready. "

Ummah smilingly looked at Ustad Fariz's face, "Alright son. "

Then Ummah stood up from his seat and said goodbye to everyone in the living room to go to my room.

I was still sitting on the porch with Bik Siti enjoying a warm chocolate while chatting about many things. Not long after, Ummah had arrived near me and Bik Siti.

"Hmm, apparently you two are here. Ummah called no one to answer. So Ummah just came straight here when he found out that Rani's room door was not locked. Did Ummah bother Rani?, "asked Ummah to me.

I nodded and smiled slightly at Ummah, "Not bothering Ummah. What's up, Ummah?. "

Ummah smiled as she walked and pulled up the chair to sit right in front of me. While me and Bik Siti just observe what Ummah does. After Ummah sat right in front of me, Ummah slowly grasped both fingers of my hand. Where my eyes look and Bik Siti looks seriously at the face of Ummah.

"Honey, "call Ummah to me.

"Yes Ummah, "I replied in a slightly tense tone.

"There's something Ummah wants to say to Rani. Can Ummah say it?, "ask Ummah looking at my face.

With a serious face and full of tension I nodded my head slightly, "Yes Ummah just say, what Ummah wants to say to Rani. "

Ummah looked pleased with a slight smile bowing knot on both cheeks, "Honey, are you ready to marry Fariz today also meet the demand of Ummah. "

DEG...

My heart immediately thumped, "Today is also Ummah? Why suddenly Umah?."

Ummah turned to hold my cheek, "Not suddenly dear, this is Ummah's request to keep from various influences of things that Ummah does not want that can interfere with your marriage. Therefore, Ummah asked Rani and Fariz to get married on this very day, dear. How son?Does Rani agree to comply with the request

Ummmah?."

For a while I was silent for a moment to think and digest what Ummah said to me, and Ummah also Bik Siti was seen looking at my face while waiting for my mouth to answer the question that Ummah had reached me.

My gaze looked at Ummah with a deep sigh.

The knowledge of our Lord encompasses everything, to Allah alone we rely. O our Lord, give a decision between us and our people with the right (fair) and You are the best Decision-Maker, "I said.

Ummah looked at me seriously, "How's your decision baby?. "

"Bismillah, God willing, Rani is ready to marry Ustad Fariz today as well as Ummah" I said.

Ummah smiled happily and hugged my body tightly, "Barokallah Fiik dear. May Allah bless you . "

"Wa Fiik Barokalloh.And also God's blessing to Ummah, "my reply.

Ummah smiled happily, "Alright if so, Ummah immediately prepare your wedding supplies yes son. "

Ummah then looked towards Bik Siti, "My sister tipped Rani yes Bik. "

"Okay, Miss Princess, " replied Bik Siti.

After that, Ummah immediately went down to the living room to give this happy news to Ustad Fariz, Abi and Enjid as well as Pak Budi.

The news that Ummah conveyed was really making everyone happy and immediately Abi, Ummah, Enjid and assisted with Pak Budi and some of their domestic assistants prepared quickly all the lightning decorations for the ijab qabul event between myself and Ustad Fariz.

Bik Siti held my finger, "Son Rani is already convinced of the decision that Rani wants to choose at this time?. "

"God willing, yes Bik Siti, "I replied.

Bik Siti smiled, "Alhamdulillah, if indeed Nak Rani was sure of the decision that Nak Rani had taken. Bibi hopes that what Nak Rani has decided is the best choice while bringing blessings for Nak Rani and all. Bibi just hope and pray that Nak Rani will always be bestowed with happiness, son. "

I smiled, "Aamiin ya Rabb, Thank you very much Bik. "

"Together Son, " said Bik Siti.

Not long after, Ummah has entered my room with a makeup artist and also the clothes I will wear at the ijab qabul event.

"Let's get ready soon, "take Ummah while pulling my hand gently.

I stood up from my seat and followed Ummah's footsteps.

"Rani cleans up first yes son before diramas, " said Ummah.

I nodded and headed straight for the bathroom. While Ummah and others prepare wedding dresses for the wedding ceremony.

And in the house in the living room that is commonly used to entertain the nearest family in large numbers because the carvings are so large, very spacious and representative in the family Ustad Fariz, he said,even already looks some people who are decorating the room with all-white shades with a minimalist concept but look luxurious nuances.White color on the inspiration of the wedding ceremony decoration and Ustad Fariz chosen directly by Ummah.According to Ummah the white color at the wedding ceremony will be able to give the impression of luxury and also symbolize sacred, clean and elegant.See the white backdrop, the color is,plus curtains with matching colors on both sides with the arrangement of white, pastel, floral decoration, soft grenn is still fresh and fragrant and there is my name and the name Ustad Fariz located in the middle of the gold background.

The marriage certificate held will carry the concept of lesehan, where there is a small size round marriage contract table as a place of procession of contracts, such as ijab kabul, signature of the marriage book, etc, and others there are also special pillows as a seat. All of them are located on a colored carpet in line with the strongest ornaments and arranged very sweetly plus a pot with beautiful flowers that are still fresh and fragrant as a decoration on the agenda table .So that produces a decoration background that looks very good.

Quickly some of these people have finished decorating the place where the marriage contract will soon be held intimately and only attended by the closest family of the Ustad Fariz family, deliberately Ummah, deliberately, Abi and Enjid asked not too many guests who attended so that the impromptu ijab qabul event was more meaningful and very sacred.

While in the closet my hand is still decorated with white henna where the motif spreads from the back of the hand to the lower arm. Henna painters focus on making lines that surround the fingers, then create lines that connect to the forearm so deftly and skillfully. Then, she gave beautiful motifs around the line to enliven the henna ornaments in my hands. No need to wait a long time the application of white henna is immediately dry quickly after touching the skin.

Furthermore, with the help of Ummah, Bik Siti and makeup artist I started wearing dresses for the ijab qabul event. Ummah chose a white dress with sequins throughout. Ummah smilingly looked at me, "This dress will look very beautiful to wear when princess Ummah uses it."

While keeping the kesyari'ian in the dress I wear.Ummah still combine the dress I wear with a veil that dangles over the chest. Then to make the appearance more assertive, Ummah has prepared a wedding veil in line with the color of the dress I wear, Ummah, which has an embroidered accent for me to wear plus the use of crown accessories placed on the top of my hijab.

"MasyaAllah Tabarakallah. Princess Ummah gets a classy look like a royal princess!, "praise Ummah.

I blushed in embarrassment and just smiled a little at what Ummah said.

So does Bikin Siti who looks so bright and happy to look at me, "MasyaAllah, aunty to pangling see Nak Rani."

I was still speechless with a small smile decorating my face with no sound coming out of my lips.My feelings suddenly thumped in a deep breath that made the tension inside me even stronger.

Ummah held my shoulder slowly, "Honey Ummah down first to check and see the situation yes son. Until Fariz finished saying the qabul ijab with the penghulu you stay here with Bik Siti ya dear. "

I nodded my head in response to Ummah's words.

Not long Ummah went down with the makeup artist who put me up. After that, I sat quietly while thinking to relieve the tension that was in me. Meanwhile, Bik Siti was changing her clothes that Ummah had also prepared for Bik Siti.

From the room where I was almost unheard of the noise below, only occasionally vague reflection of the chant of the holy verse sounded loud and then slow. In my silence, my eyes occasionally saw the reflection of myself in a flat mirror not far from where I was standing.

I got back late in my mind.

Mother, today Rani will live a new life with the man whom God has chosen and betrothed to Rani. May whatever has been the choice of a decision from God will bring blessing to the life of Rani and everyone, my words in my heart were filled with a sense of urgency that almost made my tears drop, but I quickly wiped them with a tissue near me.

Not long after Bik Siti had finished changing her clothes with a hijab-clad robe, after which Bik Siti polished a little of her face by lifting the hijab that adorned her head. Once he feels his appearance looks pretty good. Bik Siti also walked near me and sat beside me, while occasionally throwing small jokes that made me laugh to release the sense of tension that was lost in my heart and mind.

Ughhhh.I took long, deep breaths over and over, and Bik Siti unceasingly continued to tease myself with her tickling jokes and kept me smiling cheerfully.

Bik Siti seemed to know if at this moment , my heart and my mind felt the tension waiting for the pronunciation of the qabul ijab between Ustad Fariz and penghulu.
