Early morning after performing dawn prayers Farah rested himself and helped his mother cook in the kitchen preparing breakfast as usual before.
*bu abis this Farah saying out well...?

pinta Mirna Farah's mother smiled
to Syafa ma'am's house....!
Farah was very upset with Syafa....!
farah has not seen or talked to Syafa in a long time.
Praangs.....
hearing Farah's words made the mother who was lifting fried food in the pan surprised and made him accidentally exposed to a splash of oil so that the plate he was holding fell on the floor.
Mothers...Mother why...?
Mom is okay - what is it...?
tanya Farah was busy blowing on the hands of the mother who was hit by a splash of oil, but she felt something when she realized her mother's hand was shaking there was a cry held back from her.
*mother why...?
Shafa....!
Syafa is dead, nak*....!!
hushed.......
there were no words spoken from Farah's lips when she heard Mirna's words interrupted between her bated cries. The girl looked pale, she let go of her hand grip and took a few steps back.
a look of shock was clearly reflected in his eyes that turned cloudy as they saw a small nod in his mother's head.
no ma'am....!
how is it possible.....?
farah misheard, ma'am..........?
farah asked, her eyes looking at pity as if begging if what she had just heard from her mother's lips was a mistake.
tears welled up on her own face, as Mirna immediately embraced her and wept with her.
" *he was in a traffic accident a few months ago son, his life is beyond help "
no.....!
no way ma'am....!
Shafa can't go ma'am.....!
farah hasn't seen her yet, ma'am...!
there are so many words that Farah wants to convey to Syafa ma'am.
how could he just leave Farah bu*.......!
said farah thrashing - thrashing in the arms of her mother.
" *mom lied, didn't I lie "
tell mommy that mom lied*.......!
Farah shook - shaking her mother's hand hoping what she just said wasn't right.
*forgive mom son....!
I'm sorry if I didn't tell you at the time.....!
I'm afraid that news will disturb your concentration farah*....!
said mirna while patting - pat pungggung Farah who is still as hot as in her hug.
*where is shafa buried ma'am....?
farah wants to meet Syafa ma'am.
he was buried under son.
where he lived after his wedding.
He is not buried here*....!
Say ny Mirna while patting - back pat farah.
*but Farah kangen Syafa ma'am, farah wants to meet syafa.
pray with your longing for him then Allah will convey that longing to shafa*.....!
the words of her mother seemed to be a force in Farah, the girl stopped her crying, wiped her tears and decided to visit the house of the old shafa before going to Astri's house.
Why didn't you tell me that time about Syafa Ast's death....?
farah asked Astri who was sitting next to her. Now they were in Astri's house.
I'm sorry Far....!
Just like you experienced I was very surprised when I heard the news....
I had decided to leave for bandung at that time, if only my mother did not forbid me because of her worries.
*I know it's not fair to you Far, but for your own good I and Farhan decided not to tell you at the time, because we were afraid that the news would affect your decision to devote yourself to the pesantren and disrupt your concentration of teaching.
I'm sorry Farah.....!
I'm really sorry*.....!
there was nothing that Farah could say after hearing Astri's words, indeed he admitted that what Astri and his family did was a mistake but all would not change the situation even though he knew at that time what happened to Syafa.
it's been Ast that none of this is entirely your fault.
said Farah while bringing Astri into her arms.
***
A week passed by did not feel Farhan's wedding day was in front of the eyes of the morning was a day of prayer, the Farhan family had gathered in the minimalist style house, in the front room looks some handouts that will be given to the bride who has been in beautiful shape.
like the handiwork of farah a mukena that formed into a beautiful dress from a hijab barbie Muslim doll as well as a sleeping kimono that was turned into a cute teddy bear by the girl, the work that made Syafira repeatedly amazed his older sister.
farhan and the group prepared to go to the Astri residence using 4 mini buses, because in addition to the marriage contract and reception will also be held that day to make families far away from various cities who want to see the marriage contract has been gathered and participated in the event.
the clock shows at 07.50 min when the group entered the residence of the bride, it seems that Astri's family and parents warmly welcomed the arrival of the groom and entourage, not long after the event was held, starting with the opening, and the, welcome, reception and the last dowry of the contract event.
the originally planned event was done simply turned out to be festive because many of the invited guests, especially the large family of the two brides who attended wanted to see the marriage contract that would be held in a few minutes.
farah was standing on the edge of a room door that looked a little quiet, in the room stood two middle-aged women who were busy tidying up the makeup of a beautiful woman who was sitting in front of a dressing table. the woman looks beautiful wearing a blue kebaya with a golden hijab, a thick enough makeup polish exudes the woman's beauty, more, farah smiled as she unintentionally glanced at the door from the glass in front of her and learned of Farah's whereabouts.
Faraaah.....!
the woman smiled, there was a hue of happiness emanated from her smile, farah approached to stand parallel to the woman who was still sitting sweetly in that place.
*today is a real big surprise for me Ast...!
aq still can't believe this...!
that you and Brother Farhan will be hanging out at the sewer soon and aq have no idea of this at all before*....!
Astri smiled at Farah's words, while the girl puffed her cheeks and lips.
" how could you not have told me all that ast "
again - again astri smiled widely at the demanding question from farah he reached the girl's hand grasping it.
*this is all of Farah's will...!
just like you did not expect to be paired with mas farhan and become your sister-in-law soon....!
2 months ago I decided to put the proposal ta'aruf on ustadza Siti in the hope of getting married as a worship to God who is the man who will follow me later, I'm determined to accept his proposal if he's serious about coming to see my parents*.
Astri again tightened his hand on the wrist of Farah and smiled.
*apparently Allah answered all my wishes during this time farah....!
" you know, I don't know why I always crave a husband like a good, sholeh and responsible man "
truly Allah is merciful he gives me what I want even without me having to ask him farah*....!
the two girls were now hugging, Astri smiling right behind the shoulders of Farah.
I'm happy farah...!
I didn't think that Mas Farhan had the same feelings for me....
you know...?
when I heard I put in the proposal ta'aruf soon maybe mas farhan met ustadz Yashir to be betrothed and asked that the girl was me....!
farah smiled and tightened her embrace on the friend who would become her brother-in-law.
Alhamdulillah Ast....!
we should be thankful to God...!
while the two girls were talking about the kabul ijab event in the front room had been held, Farhan was seen steadily shaking Astri's father's hand and saying his hijab.
" I accept the marriage and marriage of Astri Ayunda burhan binti bpk Samsul Burhan with the dowry paid in cash "
how are the witnesses legal...?
Legitimate.... Validly....!
Thank goodness.....!!!
hearing the word Sah from the witnesses Farah and Astri who were originally hoping - please be anxious about the smooth running Farhan said kabul ijab hugged back, hugging, then Farah took Astri to the front room where Farhan was waiting for him to undergo a signer of a wedding book and other events.
when the two brides met Farah could clearly see there was a happy and ashamed hue - the shame of both Astri and Farhan's eyes, they look nervous when their eyes look at each other sometimes one of them steals - steal a glance at the couple who has officially become his.
a happy smile emanated on Farah's face how happy she could see firsthand the affection God gave her servants, her servants, and her, uniting two people who love each other in silence that no one knows if love is present in the hearts of both of them and he is the all-knowing god of the heart, the all-loving god.
the affection was clearly visible with evidence of Farhan and Astri meeting in the wedding rope, without feeling tears of happiness dripping from the two eyes of the pink girl.
The event took place lively although it was postponed because Adzhan Dzuhur met the two brides, the families , the committee and invited guests held prayers at the mosque not far from the reception venue before the afternoon of the event was completed.
