Today, a little whiny and a little spoiled, will become a wife. A child who always whines and complains if his wishes are not obeyed, will become a daughter-in-law who requires him to leave the home of both parents and live independently with his new family.
Cash is already the responsibility of parents, especially a father when his daughter is married. The responsibilities of a father are transferred to the husband. That's one of the wedding vows that took place.
"I accept the marriage and marriage of Nadira Khumairah Az-Zizah bint Sultan Aji Permata with the dowry. Paid, cash!" ammar said with one breath.
"How are the witnesses?" ask penghulu.
"Well!"
"Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'alaamiin .... Baarakallahu laka wa baarakaa alaika wa jamaa bainakumaa fii khoir."
Tahmid reverberated, greeted with a roaring cry that flooded the room. His heart was pounding, as if he had finished a running race. Now, Ammar has taken over the responsibility of the Sultan and Haikal to keep Nadira until the end of life.
"Now, the bride can come out," said the pengulu.
Nadira hears clearly the voice of the ustaz Fadil (the ruler who married him to Ammar). He was in the bridal room that was deliberately provided on the ground floor, near the living room so as not to take too long up and down the stairs. Because, if the bride's room in Nadira's private room, both Nadira's parents and her brother (Haikal) are worried that he fainted or hummed because of nervousness. You see Nadira people are a little careless and less careful when the road.
With tears in her eyes, Fenny picked Nadira up in the bridal room. In the square room that has been decorated with flowers and wooden wall coverings, Nadira looks very graceful and beautiful. The makeup is not too flashy, keeping it elegant. The white dress and hijab, with beads on her shirt, made her look mesmerizing.
Nadira came out with his beloved mother, accompanied by his two sisters-in-law named Nissa and Kinara. The two seem happy and accept Nadira wholeheartedly to be a part of their family. Now Ammar and Nadira are legally a married couple. They will complement each other, fill the void, and of course make the family sakinah mawaddah wa rahmah.
"God willing! The angel that God created is now in front of my eyes" said Ammar, spontaneously.
Various kinds of responses of invited guests who heard Ammar's remarks. Some laugh, tease, even marinate.
Nadira sat to the right of Ammar. They still look shy. Glancing with doubt as it was still awkward. Penghulu asks Ammar to pin the ring to Nadira's finger as a symbol of married lovers. Now, there are two rings embedded in Nadira's hand and both of them, both from the man who is now called husband.
By Allah! How lucky Nadira is. A soul mate will come at the right time with someone we never expected before.
"Thank you, Rabb ...! I don't know what else to ask of You but thank you so much for giving me the color of my life" Nadira said with sparkling eyes. His eye bags tried to wipe away the tears that were about to come out.
"Now, please sign the marriage book and other letters" said an MC.
This happy couple was unable to speak. His response trembled, then tried to be calmed by the figure of the man behind them. Who else if not Haikal who became a protector for Nadira during the leave of duty by his parents. Nadira and Ammar closed their eyes for a moment, exhaled, and relaxed their minds. Then, their hands were moved to complete the signing of the marriage papers before them.
After that, enter on the photo session along with holding the marriage book. Awkwardness certainly still enveloped the feelings of the two of them. Never thought, their soul mate was a person in the past. A figure who had once been admired but just simply amazed, without thinking can go so far. Because, in the past they did not think at all to have a special relationship. What is in the mind of the figures of Nadira and Ammar, is just school and trying to achieve his dreams. Qodarullah! Definition if a soul mate, will not go where. Totally real.

At night, the guests still arrived. Even though the new bride has changed clothes with ordinary clothes, there are still those who ask for photos together. Funny thing is, Ammar and Nadira are still hesitant to touch. They run relationships like waterfalls. Letting the water boil down to where it's headed. Until finally, that goal has now arrived.
"Bcr .... Apaan, anyway! I just want a picture, Balqis," Nadira said. Her cheeks were flushed like she was using a blush.
"Cie, her cheeks are so red. Out of the sun has the blush not gone, Mba?" Balqis keeps flirting.
While Ammar, he just kept quiet and smiled at the behavior of the two women in front of him. However, Ammar's views remained focused on Nadira.
"Yes, come on photos!" said Nadira. "Eh! But there is less! Three photos time. Can say our parents who have tasted the acids of life, should not foro three." Nadira diverts the conversation and intends to match Balqis with her brother.
"Basar women are diversion issues," said Balqis, chuckling.
Nadira calls Haikal for a photo together. His sister approached.
"Well, if the four of them are, good!" Nadira laughed, as if satisfied because he had returned the temptation of his little friend.
"Let's not look single, right?" Balqis pressed her lips. "That's your laugh, Nad."
Nadira hugs and kisses Balqis cheek.
"What the hell, honey? Who knows you're dating my brother" Nadira concluded.
Even so, Balqis never wanted to be grumpy just because the speech was (less) right to be thrown. They finally took four photos. Like, there are two happy couples.
Finish selfie. Haikal said because there are still guests to be served. Especially their important papa guests.
Balqis responded to Nadira's words. Between statements or requests is a very different thing.
"Nadira what the hell, anyway! It's not good to know about Haikal."
"No need to feel bad like that. Who knows, you guys are a match, right? Is something wrong?" ask Nadira.
"Yes, there's nothing wrong, anyway. It's just that later Haikal thought strangely about me again," said Balqis with a face filled with worry that even made his mind continue to wander without spaces.
"Already, Balqis. No need to hide the taste anymore. I accidentally read the "diary" that you wrote. As her only sister, I believe that you can fulfill your obligations and responsibilities as a wife well."
Ammar was already with Haikal, accompanying the invited guests who were still arriving. Leaving his wife to enjoy the warmth of two friends who often do not get along when close and miss each other if far away.
