Halal Lover

The Part 14

"We fought together, yeah. So that someday if we're a match, I deserve you and you deserve me."

***

HER CHEEKS flushed at the man next to her. Nazwa desperately adjusted his heartbeat, so that no one would hear.

Not that Nazwa immediately fell in love just because of a change Alif said a few minutes ago. But, he was embarrassed and nervous to death if he had faced the crowd like now.

Event after event continues, everyone has expressed congratulations to the two people who have officially formed a 'halal' bond today. And during the event, Alif's smile did not dim.

Nazwa glanced at Alif. Still the same, his smile still bloomed like a flower in the spring. Nazwa became suspicious, if the man who a few minutes ago had legally become her husband was suffering from mental disorders.

With a mountain of curiosity, Nazwa dared himself to ask.

"Why do you keep smiling, anyway?"

A little surprised, Alif looked over. But his smile did not fade. "Why indeed?"

Nazwa held his breath for a while then shook his head.

"I'm happy, Wa. Are you too?"

Be happy? Is Nazwa happy now? Young marriage, had not had time to pursue his career, college, and give up his youth because he had to marry at a young age.

Is Nazwa happy?

I don't know. His mind may say no, but his heart says otherwise. Because, it cannot be denied anyway, if he is indeed amazed by the figure of Alif. The young, handsome, obedient doctor of the Creator, was well established.

Any woman would want a man like this. But for Nazwa, his feelings that are now just 'magic', have not reached the level of love.

"Nazwa."

The call blew his daydream.

"W-what? My sister asked what?"

Alif's thick eyebrows slightly fused together, then he smiled and shook his head. "You don't have to answer now."

Not listening, let alone forgetting. It's just that Nazwa may not be ready to answer. Let his heart decide whether he is happy or not.

After the reception was over, everyone started to return to their homes. Only members of the extended family of Alif and Nazwa remained.

Everyone seemed busy cleaning up the items that had been used during the simple party. In addition to Nazwa who still locked himself in the room with other thoughts in his brain.

Nazwa decided to take a shower and get off to help other family members.

Now, he was wearing a casual robe that looked elegant, but also did not dampen his beautiful aura.

As he was about to comb his hair, suddenly the door of his room opened.

"Nazwa, can I come in?"

Gap!

That's Alif's voice.

Nazwa quickly put on his khimar. However, before that, Alif had already entered first and looked at everything.

"You don't have to shut up again, Nazwa. I am your husband" Alif said, emphasizing the word 'husband'.

Nazwa felt his cheeks start to heat up, but he quickly turned and said. "Sister! I haven't given Brother permission to enter."

"I have to get permission, right?" alif asked with a smile. He sat down at the edge of Nazwa's bed.

"Yes! This is my room!" ketus Nazwa's.

Alif casually after the suit he was wearing since the reception and the qabul hijab, making Nazwa even more furious. "Now, your room is also my room, right? I've been your husband, if you forget."

Nazwa. "As for Brother!"

Nazwa is about to get out, before Alif's bass voice manages to hold him back.

"Nazwa."

Still in the same position and without taking a word, Nazwa almost choked on his own saliva when he heard the question from Alif.

"Are you forced to accept this match?"

Nazwa turned his back stiffly. "intention ... Brother?"

"I know, I'm selfish for easily agreeing to this matchmaking without asking first what you think, whether you agree with it or not" Alif said, taking a breath before continuing to speak. "But I also don't lie, if I'm very happy when I find out the fact that the person I'm about to marry is you."

"Why?" his great-grandson softly without daring to look at Alif's bead of eyes.

"Because I-"

"Dad! Called abi tuh! He said tell him to come down first, Alif's family wants to leave." Suddenly Naufal's voice cut through Alif's words from behind the closed door.

Alif let out a disappointed sigh, but he kept smiling. Maybe it's not time Nazwa found out about his heart all this time.

"It has. You go down first, yeah. I will follow later. Tell everyone to wait a little. I'm gonna take a shower."

Although disappointed because Alif did not continue his words, Nazwa still nodded obediently. After all, the husband's orders were the first thing he had to obey. So said ummi.

Then Nazwa went down and met all his family members.

Shortly after, Alif followed downstairs to meet everyone. He was wearing a plain white shirt and black basic pants. Makes Nazwa barely blink.

It's just so handsome. Is that really my husband? His inner.

"I'm sorry, old" Alif told everyone.

"Ah, not pa-pa, Lif. Daddy and Mommy and the others just want to go home."

"Why so fast?" alif looked at everything.

Ranti, Alif's mother chuckles. "Yes, we have to go home, honey. You're the only one left until five days later you're gonna stay here before Dad's boyongan."

Alif nodded. "Oh, I see," he murmured.

"Yes already. Ahmad, then we beg to resign. Titip my son, yes," joked Hanan, father of Alif.

Ahmad, his brother Nazwa also chuckled while patting the shoulder of his closest friend. "Same as anyone."

Everyone laughed, as did Nazwa who was filled with the familiarity between Abi and his father-in-law.

After all the members of the Alif family came home, now the family of the Nazwa only lives. They all gathered in the family room with the abi sitting next to the ummi, Naufal next to Aina, and ... Nazwa was forced to sit next to Alif because there was only one empty room, next to Alif.

"So, how? Where do you want a honeymoon?" ask ummi Audy.

Nazwa who was drinking tea almost choked to hear the ummi question.

"Ummi," called Nazwa as if to warn, but still ignored.

"I gave it back to Nazwa, Ummi. Wherever Nazwa wants, God willing I will do it" replied Alif politely.

Nah! Here's! Typical husband dreams, right?

"Pulse. Shouldn't we wait until Alif graduates? Kasian Alif, let it not be too much of a burden on his mind." Abi Ahmad's proposal which was immediately embraced vigorously by Nazwa.

"Why you?" ask Naufal.

Nazwa grinned and shook his head, making Naufal also shake in wonder.

"It doesn't matter, Bi, if that's what Nazwa wants," Alif replied politely.

"Yes too, yes," Ummi Audy replied as she nodded. "Ah, yes it is. Then let Naufal same Aina used to be a honeymoon, later Nazwa same Alif followed that Alif has graduated."

"Ready empress!" said Naufal, who was immediately rewarded with a pinch by Aina.

"Darling, how about nyubit anyway? How hurt will you be?" Naufal began to dramatize, making Nazwa snort.

"Udah Mas, don't be more!" said Aina.

"Lebay what, honey. Don't you want a honeymoon with me?"

"Mas!" hiss Aina fierce.

"Yes, yeah. I don't want to risk sleeping outside tonight."

Nazwa was embarrassed by his family's absurd condition like this. But the other way, Alif even laughed at the debate of his best friend and brother-in-law.

"sorry. My family is gini if you get together again," he said softly to Alif.

Alif smiling. "No papa, Nazwa. Again, I'm glad to be part of your extended family."

The blush!

Seriate.
