It's up to God

Ali's Wedding Preparation

Within two months, Ali's wedding preparations continued to mature. Lutfi asked all the students at the Al Fathonah boarding school to take part in the preparations for her first child's marriage. They work hard to prepare everything needed, from decorations to food.

However, Hamzah could not help because he was busy with the final exam of the semester. Despite that, Hafiz is eager to participate in the wedding preparations of his om, Ali. Unfortunately, due to the great distance between Cairo and Tasikmalaya, Hafiz could not be physically present. He can only offer prayers and hope to be present when Ali's wedding day with his future aunt arrives.

Meanwhile, Ammar decides to let Nadira rest and take care of the twins, Haneen and Hania. This is done so that Nadira is not too tired and Ammar is worried about Nadira's disease returning. Although Nadira may initially want to do more things, but she obeyed her husband's orders this time. Nadira does not insist on fulfilling her ego, as she knows how important it is to take care of her health and fitness.

Nadira is a figure who can not be silent even for a second. Although she may find it hard not to get involved in the wedding preparations for her brother-in-law, Ali, she is aware that family health and happiness are top priorities. By taking Ammar's orders and taking good care of the twins, he is trying to contribute his best in his current capacity.

After Ali and Ammar saw that the wedding preparations were going well, they sat down together to talk. Ammar wants to encourage her brother to remain relaxed and calm before the time of kabul ijab, so that the wedding procession can run smoothly.

"Sister, you've been through this wedding preparation very well. Everything looks beautiful and neat. I know this moment is very important to you, so don't worry too much. Trust me, everything will go well." Ammar tried to calm his brother down.

"Thank you, Ammar. I'm a little nervous, but I'm trying to stay calm. What say?" Ali took a deep breath, trying to relax.

"You did your best, brother. Believe in yourself and in the love you have for your future wife. Let your happiness shine on this special day. You don't have to feel tense or worried. Enjoy every second."

"Yes, you're right. I have to focus on this moment and enjoy the wedding procession. Nadira is my true love and I want to give my best for her. Thank you for encouraging me, Ammar."

"No need to thank you, brother. We are family, and I am always there for you. Remember that marriage is a moment of joy and happiness. Don't let worry interfere with the beauty of your special day. I'm sure everything will go well."

"Thank you, Ammar. I will try to relax and enjoy every moment. Pray that everything goes well."

"certain, Brother. My prayers are always with you. I'll make sure everything goes well. May your wedding be an unforgettable day."

Ali and Ammar gave each other encouragement and support. Ali tries to stay relaxed and enjoy every moment in the wedding preparations as well as her hopes for Hafiz to be present. Ammar is ready to provide support and pray that Ali's marriage runs smoothly and becomes an unforgettable moment for her brother.

After Ali's wedding preparations go well, the story goes on to an unexpected moment. Apparently, Nadira's assumption that his sister-in-law's candidate is a woman who became a herald in the event of the launch of her first book proved true. However, at that time Ali did not know Sarah, even Nadira who was then going to be his sister-in-law he had never met in person. Only told that his sister, Ammar, will marry only.

Ali meets Sarah at an unexpected event. When Sarah became the preacher in the launch of Nadira's first book, they had not met in person. However, on this occasion, Ali met with Sarah during the inauguration of his business partner building in London. The moment gives a magical touch to Ali's life, as she realizes how fate has brought them together in an unexpected place.

Ali and Sarah looked at each other, feeling an inexplicable tremor. The two of them felt a strong bond between them, like there was an invisible force that brought them together at this point. Ali is happy that he has found his last port in the figure of Sarah. Their hearts communicate with each other and Ali is convinced that they have a bright future together.

Nadira, Ammar, and the rest of the family were thrilled to see Ali and Sarah so happy. Everyone congratulated the couple, feeling that this was the best fate for Ali. Ali and Sarah promise each other to always support and keep their love, and they are ready to face a future full of happiness together.

Three days before Ali's wedding, Lutfi felt it was important to give advice to her son who was about to enter a new chapter in his life. They sat together, an atmosphere full of warmth and wisdom.

"Ali, my son, in these three days, you will begin a new chapter in your life. Marriage is a serious commitment, and I want to give you some advice" said Lutfi, who sat quietly.

"Thank you, Abi. I'm ready to listen to your advice" Ali said.

While sipping warm tea made by his wife, Aisyah, Lutfi began to give a message. "First, always remember that marriage is about building each other up, respecting each other, and supporting each other. Establish good communication with Sarah, your partner. Listen to her opinion, respect her feelings, and speak your mind honestly. This life is a journey together, and you must strengthen each other."

"I'll remember that, Abi. Good communication is key in a healthy relationship" Ali replied, pledging in earnest.

"I will always be grateful for the presence of Sarah in my life, Abi. And I'm gonna try to be a good husband."

"Third, never forget to keep love and romance in your relationship. Marriage requires hard work, commitment, and attention. Look for beautiful moments with Sarah, quality time together, and always convey love and appreciation. Let the fire of your love keep burning and grow with time."

"I will always try to keep the fire of our love, Abi. I'll make Sarah feel loved and appreciated every day."

"Last, never hesitate to seek advice and guidance when facing challenges. We're always there for you, Ali. Do not ask for help or advice if needed. Family is a strong foundation in our lives" Lutfi asked as she sipped her warm tea.

"Thank you, Abi. I know that family is where I come back and where I look for support. I'll remember your advice and cherish every moment with Sarah."

Lutfi and Ali continued their conversation, sharing stories, and tightening their bond as father and son. Lutfi's advice will be a valuable guide for Ali in starting her marriage. They hope and pray that the marriage of Ali and Sarah becomes a source of infinite happiness and blessing.

After Lutfi gave advice to Ali, Aisyah as a connecting mother also felt it was important to give advice to Ali ahead of her marriage. The two of them sat together in a warm and affectionate atmosphere.

"Ali, my son, marriage is the beginning of a new adventure in your life. As your next mother, I want to give you some advice that can help you both in building a happy household."

"Thank you, Umi Aisyah. I really appreciate the advice and advice that Umi gives."

"First, stay with yourself in marriage. Don't try to be someone else or meet expectations that don't match who you really are. Instead, accepting each other with the advantages and disadvantages of each will make your relationship stronger."

"I understand, Umi. I'll just stay on my own and accept Sarah as she is."

"Second, always pay attention and appreciation to Sarah. Supporting each other, celebrating success, and providing support in every challenge are the keys to keeping the relationship harmonious. Be a couple who encourage each other and keep the fire of love burning."

"I will always pay attention and appreciation to Sarah, Umi. I want to be a good companion to her."

"Thirdly, it is important to always communicate openly and honestly. Don't let worries or disagreements grow in silence. Talk about your feelings, hopes, and concerns by listening to each other. Good communication will strengthen the bond between you."

"I will communicate honestly and openly to Sarah, Umi. Because I know that good communication is the foundation of a healthy relationship."

"Last, remember to always respect and prioritize family. Family is a solid base in our lives. Maintain good relationships with each other's families and make time to get together. Recognize the importance of building a harmonious relationship with your extended family."

"I will always respect and prioritize family, Umi. Family is important to us."

"Ali, my son, marriage is a beautiful and challenging journey. But with love, sacrifice, and commitment, you will be able to deal with it well. Umi prays that your marriage with Sarah becomes a source of lasting happiness and blessing."

"Thank you, Umi, for the encouragement and prayers that were given. I will look after and cherish this marriage to the best of my ability."

The two of them continued the conversation, shared stories, and exuded affection for each other. The teachings of Aisyah will be a valuable guide for Ali in starting her life journey as a husband. They hoped that Ali and Sarah's marriage would be a field of eternal happiness and blessing for both.
