As Mama Shela had predicted, Abimana's father and mother agreed to even approve Raikhan to question Alya, replacing his dead son.
For one week, Mama Shela and Papa Abraham prepared everything related to the marriage of Raikhan and Alya.
They only invite family and close friends to attend the ijab qabul event and reception, which will only be carried out simply according to the request of both brides.
The day seemed to pass so quickly, until the moment that awaited arrived.
Raikhan's parents' home page is transformed into a garden filled with white rose arrangements. The guest chairs are arranged very neatly, all in decor with colors that symbolize purity.
Especially for the bridal chair is filled with sprinkles of white rose petals, which adds to the romantic feel.
The groom and his family are waiting for the bride.
"That's her future daughter-in-law Mama has arrived..." Mama smiled happily.
Mama Shela's words immediately made Raikhan surprised, he immediately turned his head. Raikhan's eyes were glued to the face of a slowly walking girl, accompanied by a mother holding her hand and the convoy of the bride's family, walking behind.
Raikhan's wife-to-be looked increasingly beautiful and graceful, with a white kebaya attached to her body. The kebaya was decorated with lace and studded sequins. With semi sanghai collar model. Equipped with a headscarf decorated with a series of white jasmine, wrapped the head of the girl.
The bride-to-be looked down, without returning Raikhan's gaze. It was as if there was a feeling he was trying to suppress and hide. Happy feelings mixed with sadness. Happy because in a moment, the girl will let go of her bachelor. Sad because the man who will marry is not Abimana, but a friend of his lover.
Both brides are welcome to sit on the chair next to each other, in front of Mr. Penghulu.
The ritual that accompanies the words of the ijab qabul was immediately started.
Raikhan's handsome face looks very nervous, when making a sacred promise.
"I accept the marriage and marriage of Alya Putri Binti Alm. Hendro Saputra with mascawine above cash.β
"Well.." Said Mr. Penghulu, who then got a reply from the witnesses.
"Well..."
"Alhamdulillah...."
After reading the prayer, both brides are welcome to sign the marriage book. Then proceed with the handover of the dowry, and exchange the ring.
Slowly, Raikhan pinned the wedding ring on his wife's ring finger, and kissed her forehead gently and lovingly. Alya felt a warm vibe and affection flowing all over her body, due to the first kiss given by Raikhan. All her life she never allowed any man to kiss her, except for this moment..
With trembling hands Alya grabbed and kissed the back of her husband's hand. The girl started to look up at Raikhan. How handsome and flawless the face of the man before him was.
Raikhan returned Alya's gaze lovingly, his lips adorned with a sweet smile.
"Al. Bismillah we started this relationship. In shaa Allah is with you. I promise to take care of you and to pour out your love, my wife..."
"Aamiin, thanks..Mas. Alya will try to open her heart to you my husband...."
"Thank you, baby..."
They took turns kissing the backs of Papa Abraham's hands, Mama Shela, Mother, and Abimana's parents, as a sign of devotion, respect, and a request for blessing.
Alya hugged Mama Shela tightly and said thanks, she also changed to hug the Mother with no less tightly. Tears began to emerge from both corners of the net.
It was time for Alya to embrace Abimana.
"Mother.., I'm sorry Alya. It was not my intention to betray Mas Abi. Ma'am, Alya, please have your blessing and condolences...."
Abimana's mother returned Alya's embrace, also accompanied by sobs.
"Alya has never betrayed Mother's son, only circumstances and destiny can make you unable to unite. Be happy dear, love Raikhan as you love Abimana. In shaa Allah, Bima smiled looking at you...."
"Mother..." Alya tightened her embrace.
********************
After the procession of the ijab qabul event is completed, then proceed with a simple reception party. Apparently Raikhan always holds the hand of the wife as if he does not want to escape.
It was seen that Alya's group of friends came closer with their respective partners2.
"Alya... You're finally married..." Vita hugged Alya tightly.
"Love Vit..."
"Blessed, Say, forget the old story, open a new page...!!" Vita looks teary looking at her best friend, so does Alya. They took off their arms slowly. Then Vita and her partner, changed to congratulate Raikhan.
"Alya.., congratulations Say..." Said Dara while hugging her best friend.
"Yes Ra.., thank you..." Alya returned Dara's embrace.
"Patience and advertising Say!! In shaa Allah this is the best..." Dara's eyes also looked teary, they began to take off hugs.
Dara and her partner, congratulated Raikhan.
"Hi Sob.., congratulations on your marriage. May sakinah, mawadah, warohmah..." Aldi shook Alya's hand tightly, his eyes also looked teary. Still remembered the happy smile of his best friend, when it came to giving a wedding invitation with a man who had died, Abimana.
Aldi is very empathetic towards Alya. He tried not to shed tears in front of the bride. The lover who was standing nearby, stroked Aldi's back gently to calm down.
"Thank you at..." Alya replied by restraining sobs.
One by one all Alya's friends congratulated him. There is a newness that surrounds.
The reception was closed by enjoying the food that was available, and continued with a photo session with the bride and groom.
Raikhan and Alya's marriage took place solemnly and meaningfully. Hopefully Sakinah, mawadah, warohmah they can achieve.
****************
The first night of the newlyweds, just by staring at the constellations while sitting in the garden behind the house.
"Al.., did you see Abimana's face in the sky..?"
"Yes Mas.., every time Alya looks at the sky decorated with constellations, there must be a face painting of Mas Abi..." Reply Alya while leaning her head on Raikhan's shoulder. While the hand of the husband, embrace tightly the shoulders of his beloved wife.
The man who has now officially become Alya's husband, does not feel hurt by the words of his wife. He understood Alya's feelings. Raikhan is very happy and grateful, only by being a husband who can freely keep and pour love on the idol.

When I decided
Meet your parents
I convinced myself
You're the best
And when you choose
I deserve you
This heart is vowing
Tuk s'then take care of you
I'm sure you're the answer
At every door
Even though I don't know your name yet
Whisper in my bow
In the third of my night
For Your Presence
Perfect my faith
Throw out old stories
New story series
Age together
