"MasyaaAllah is right, Alesha is very beautiful, your aura on your wedding day is very scattered," said Alena teary-eyed.

Said Amora smiling sincerely and also hugging the sister affectionately while rubbing the head of her only sister.

"Aamiin Ya Rabbal 'Alamin" said Alesha and Alena simultaneously.

The sound of sholawat chanting sounded so piercing the hearing senses of Alesha Chayanika and her brother and best friend.

"Sir Aqiel has come, brother," said one of the Bridesmaids, Naura told Alesha Chayanika who had just approached Alesha.

"Alhamdulillah, I dig-degan deh Kak, Na," said Alesha, his right hand grasped the hand of the brother, while his left hand grasped the hand of the friend.

"Don't be nervous, baby, take a breath and let it out" said Amora staring at Netra's sister.

"Hhuuff...!!" Alesha followed the instructions of her sister, she took a deep breath, then took it out slowly.

"Look at Sha, her kabul ijab show is about to start," Alena broke out as the television screen in front of her showed a live video of what was happening in the area where the wedding was.

"Look at Sha, your future husband, baby, how? He's handsome right?" said Amora teasing her sister. The seduced Amora simply lowered her head covering the red hue on her face.

Alesha raised her head, she looked at the television screen located on a table in the room. Alesha smiled as she looked at Aqiel who was wearing a bridal suit in matching color with her. He looks groggy and nervous when dealing with Anggara's father-in-law who in a few minutes will be his father-in-law.

At the Kabul ijab venue, the parties are in discussions because the marriage contract will use Arabic. Yes, before Aqiel and Anggara's father had agreed that kabul ijab would be done using Arabic.

While on the other hand, precisely in the invitation guest chair, Danar he silently nailed with an indecipherable look, glaring straight at Aqiel.

Turning back to the place of ijab qobul, where the marriage sermon is finished spoken by the male family. Now is the time for the core event, which is the reading of the wedding contract. 

"Is everything ready?" Ask the wedding party. 

Anggara and Aqiel's father both nodded their heads.

"Please right hand Anggara and Aqiel are linked to each other" said pak penghulu

Aqiel's right hand outstretchedly greeted Anggara's outstretched right hand as well.

"Pak Anggara follow my words yes," the foreman let out a long sigh as he wanted to help Anggara's father in the pronunciation of the word ijab using Arabic. It is a little difficult because not many people use it.

"Alright sir," Anggara's father said as soon as possible.

"Yes Aqiel Afdal Zafi....." Said Pak Penghulu guiding Anggara's father.

"Ya Aqiel Afdal Zafi bin Roy Atmaja Zafi, Ankahtuka wa zawwajtuka makhtubataka binti Alesha Chayanika, alal mahri 500 gharamaat minadz dzahabi wa adawatiashalati hallan," Anggara's father said in a one breath.

"Qobiltu nikaha wa tazwijaha alal mahril madzkuur wa radhiitu bihi, wallahu waliyyu taufiq." Aqiel said calmly in one breath.

A moment of silence for up to a few seconds.

"How are the marriage witnesses? Right?" Ask Pengghulu to the witnesses and all the invited guests there.

"Well....!!" Answer everything simultaneously. It feels good that the ijab and qabul go smoothly without any repetition.

"Alhamdulilahirbaobbilalamin, Allahumma inni as'aluka min khoiriha wa khoirimaa jabaltaha 'alaih, wa a'udzubika min syarriha wa syarrimaa jabaltaha 'alaih." Mr. Penghulu recites the wedding prayer that is guaranteed by everyone.

"Alsha, MashaaAllah, Alhamdulillah. Congratulations, baby you have become a wife" said the brother haru blue.

"Congratulations, my beautiful bestie is second to none, you are now a legal wife, his wife is an Aqiel who has always prayed for you in the third of the night." alena teased her best friend.

Alesha was moved, she even shed tears of happiness.

"Alhamdulilbornobbilalamin, this is the answer of all the love that You gave us strong O God, finally the owner of my heart, soul and body is Aqiel Afdal Zafi. You chose it for me, and today, You have united us in the sacred bond of marriage that you cherish." Batin Alesha.

"Thank you sir" Aqiel said with a fluffy smile.

"Please bring the bride, for the signing of the files, the handover of dowry and the embedding of the wedding ring," said Pak penghulu.

Beloved mother Alesha rose from her seat, stepping her feet towards where her daughter was at this time.

"Assalamu'alaikum" Alice's mother said as she entered the room occupied by Alesha.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" said Alesha, Amora and Alena and everyone in the room at the same time.

"Let's go, meet your husband, you're the same Aqiel has officially become husband and wife, immediately meet your husband, son Aqiel has been waiting" said Alice's mother smiling to look at her daughter.

"Congratulations, son, you are married today, and you are officially a wife." Continue Alice's mother again, finally the day that awaited so far passed.

"Thank you very much Ma'am, pray Alesha yes Ma'am, may Alesha be a good wife for Alesha's husband." Alesha stared at the mother's netra to return the mother's smile.

"God willing, my mother will always pray for you" replied the beloved Mother.

"Okay, even melow, Alena was moved, come Sha, Aunt, sister Amora, we're out to deliver Alesha to meet her husband," alena said that there was no denying the feeling of happiness and haru because the marriage contract of the beloved friend went smoothly.

Alesha nodded her head as did Mother Alice and Amora.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim" murmured Alesha and stood up from the sofa she was sitting on.

Step by step Alesha walked out of the bridal room, Naura and Parisya who had just walked up to them, helping to hold the long dangling wedding dress sweeping the ground with Alena. Alice's mother was on Alesha's right side, and Amora was on Alesha's left side.

The atmosphere outside was suddenly silent, all focusing on the bride. Only sholawat chants are so melodious as bridesmaids when they want to meet the groom.

Aqiel stood up straight while watching the girl who was now officially her lover. A smile was created on his lips as the wife drew closer. 

"MasyaaAllah, how beautiful Zaujati is," muttered Aqiel, who was the only one who heard his words.

Alesha is now in front of her husband.

"Assalamualaikum ya zaujati," said Aqiel softly.

"Wa'alaikumsalam ya Jauzi" said Alesha reply to her husband.

Alesha sat on the chair that had been provided. Aqiel returned to sit next to Alesha, turned her head and smiled as the girl she prayed for every third of the night was now halal and officially became his wife.

"Brother Aqiel and Sister Alesha please sign the papers" said the forerunner handing over some of the files to the newlyweds. Alesha and Aqiel did so immediately.

"Please put up the wedding ring. The bride used to pin the wedding ring on the groom's finger and then kiss his hand." Said the pengulu giving instructions.

Alesha grabbed the ring that had been prepared to be paired on Aqiel's finger, her hand was so trembling that she wanted to put it on her halal lover's finger. Similarly to Aqiel, he hesitated to extend his hand to Alesha.

"Son, let's give your hand to Alesha, don't be shy, then also shy," said Papa Roy teasing his son.

"Or I'm the representative bro," said Alex who no less want to tease the friend, who sat not far from Aqiel.

Aqiel immediately extended her hand to Alesha despite the hesitation, Alesha ggas pinned the wedding ring on the ring finger of her husband's right hand. She paused for a moment and pulled her husband's hand out to be snorted.

"Masya Allah Tabarakallahu," muttered Aqiel feeling a strange screen on his body.

Come on, Aqiel, it's your turn to pin the ring on your wife's ring finger." Speak to Aqiel.

Aqiel grabbed the ring to pin on Alesha's finger, she pinned it on the ring finger of her halal lover's right hand then kissed her forehead without hesitation. Alesha closed her eyes as she felt a warm kiss that touched her forehead.

When Aqiel took off the kiss, she placed her left hand on the crown of Alesha's head, then her right hand looked up and muttered a prayer for her halal lover.

"Please read Shigat thatalikan, son," said the ruler again to Aqiel.

"Well sir," Aqiel grabbed the old brown wedding book and opened it immediately and looked for the passage with Shigat thalik's words.

"After my marriage contract, Aqiel Afdal Zafi promised with all my heart, that I would take care of my wife named Alesha Chayanika well (mu'asyarah bil ma'ruf) according to Islamic teachings. To my wife, I declared shigat thalik as follows: When I...." Aqiel read it out loud and echoed.

"Alhamdulilbilalamin, now only the handover of marriage dowry from the husband to his wife" said pak penghulu. 

Aqiel carried one neatly packed gold jewelry box with a set of prayer tools. As already mentioned, Aqiel gave a dowry of 500 grams of gold and a set of instruments of prayer, which Alesha received well.

Finally, the event after the wedding ceremony has been passed well. Now Aqiel Afdal Zafi and Alesha Chayanika have officially become legal spouses in the eyes of religion and state law.
