“Happily can get to know the Jogja family better,” said Fatimah kindly.
“Whose beautiful is this?” asked Fatimah while pointing at Salsa who had come just silently.

The awaited moment finally came. Meli looks prettier than usual. Wedding dresses, makeup, and jasmine are worn add graceful appearance. Meli sat not far from the akad table, accompanied by her mother and Anjani. Meli. Her lips are smiling. His heart also gave thanks.
Along with the presence of KUA leaders and officers, the groom's entourage came. Azka looks more handsome with her bridal outfit. There was happiness emanating from his nervous face.
“Mas Farhan, why am I nervous gini, yes?” azka whispered to her sister.
“Bismillaah, Deck. Or is your position to be replaced by Rio?” joke Farhan, and soon get a slow pinch from Via.
“Yes no, Mas. I love Meli, Mas.” Azka protest.
“Already. You two this, yeah.” Mr. Haris divorced his two sons before adding another prank.
“Ka, come. Bismillaah.” Ms. Aisyah gestured for Azka and the others to prepare for the agreement table.
Azka catches Meli's pretty face. There was a melodious sigh when the figure of Meli swept her gaze. The smile on Azka's face expanded. With his heart pounding, Azka sat down and prepared for the procession of the qobul ijab.
Roni, Meli's father is ready to marry his daughter to Azka. Witnesses have surrounded the table. Family, friends Meli, as well as invited guests have sat solemnly. Ready to witness the legitimate moment of Meli-Azka.
“Nak Azka ready?” ask Roni, Meli's father.
“God willing, ready.” Azka said steady. After that, Azka sighed deeply to get rid of the nervousness that was still there.
Roni stretched out her hand with great determination. Azka shook Roni's hand. Ijab qobul, begin.
“Ananda Muhammad Azka Alfarizi bin Haris Alfarizi I married and I marry you with Meli Shahrani binti Roni Syahroni with dowry a set of prayer tools and gold 90 grams paid in cash.”
“Sah!” exclaim Azka steady.
“Aduh!” roni hissing.
Meli closed her eyes. Her heart was pounding at the nervousness of her future husband. Fatimah, the mother next to her unceasingly said ‘bismillaah’ to her future son-in-law. While Anjani who caught the anxiety that hit Meli was immediately encouraging.
“Dek, can't wait to be legitimate, huh? Here, drink first.” Farhan thrust a glass of mineral water at Azka.
“I'm not thirsty, Mas. Just nervous,” Azka whispered to Farhan.
Farhan kept telling Azka to drink to be more calm. Azka drank a few sips, then took another deep breath while facing Meli's father.
“Nak Azka ready?” roni asked, second time.
“God willing, ready.” Azka again said steady.
Again Roni with steadiness of heart extended her hand. Azka shook Roni's hand aloud. As soon as Roni finished saying ijab, Azka quickly connected it with qobul.
“I received marriage and marriage of Roni Syahroni bint Meli Shahrani with dowry set of prayer tools and gold 90 grams paid in cash,” said Azka steady.
“Not Valid!” uncle Sam, as a witness.
“Loh, why not legit?” Azka confusion.
Azka upside down pronounces the name of the bride and the name of the father. Ms. Aisyah and Mr. Haris were anxious to see Azka who never finished pronouncing the qobul correctly. Farhan approached his sister again.
“Dek, you want to marry Meli or her father, anyway?” whispered Farhan.
“Yes marry Meli, Mas. Duh, I'm really nervous. Though yesterday the same training time Mas Edi very smoothly.” Azka cursed her who was constantly nervous.
“Pull breath. Blow out. Pull again. Blow out. Goody. Bismilla. If the third one is wrong too, then you can get a beautiful plate,” joked Farhan before returning to his seat.
Azka tried to calm down. He looked over to see Meli. His future wife is still down. The smile on her beautiful face was still faithfully encouraging Azka. Slowly, Azka's nervousness subsided. A smile adorned his face. His heart returned.
“How is Nak Azka? Ready?” Roni was still faithfully asking the same thing.
“God willing, ready.” Azka's words sounded more steady than before.
For the third time, Azka shook Roni's hand. After Roni said ijab. Azka immediately connected it with a qobul in one breath.
“I received marriage and marriage Meli Syahrani bint Roni Syahroni with dowry a set of prayer tools and gold 90 grams paid in cash.”
“Saaaaah!” exclaimed witnesses, even some invited guests who attended said it was legitimate.
“Alhamdulillaah,” says Azka gratefully.
After the accident, Azka read the taklik sighat. Meli is welcome to the board table. Azka had legitimately become her husband. Shamefully Meli grabbed her husband's hand and kissed him. Both Azka and Meli were filled with gratitude.
While the invited guests ate a buffet, Azka and Meli took pictures with the backdrop of the wedding while showing off the wedding book. The parents of Meli and Azka became the first to congratulate and take pictures with the two brides.
“Help mommy is so beautiful. Azka was nervous must be salting see you are beautiful like gini.” Ms. Aisyah blinked one eye, teasing her second son who looked flowery.
“The important thing is now legitimate,” Azka said as she clasped Meli's hand lovingly. Azka could not help but stare at Meli closely from a close distance.
All who see the happiness of Meli-Azka successfully become baper. The soul of the singles thrashed. Ken who is in charge of being a cameraman until he is unable to capture the friendly moments of Meli-Azka.
“Kasih Dika aja camera, Mas. Rather than blur later the results,” Juno suggestion.
“Sst, look! Bengong is how you want to take a motret,” whispered Ken while pointing at Dika.
“God willing,” Ogre Dika, then smile. His heart tried to harden Meli to Azka.
Not only Dika whose heart was wounded saw the legitimate moment of Meli-Azka. There is Salsa who also feels almost similar tightness. Both Salsa and Dika at that time were both trying to organize their hearts, while continuing to try to release loved ones.
“Mario, cepetan lamar Anjani, dong. I already have a concept for your wedding party nih.” Alenna's been pumping her brother.
“Iya tuh, Brother. No baper look at Meli the same
Mas Azka?” Diamonds go along as a stove.
Anjani and Mario who were wearing a couple only smiled shyly. No one said it, nor did they hear a rejection. In my heart, I pray the best. Also, both hope to soon follow the happiness of Meli and Azka.
At the same time, Meli waved at Anjani and Mario. Meli told the two of them to come closer and take pictures together.
“Come photos first. Anjani is next to me. Brother Mario next to Mas Azka,” pinta Meli with his special cheer.
“Mas Azka, congratulations yes.” Mario congratulates Azka.
“Futurely, yes.” Azka gives Mario an eye code to see Anjani.
Mario's smile expands. The bridegroom apparently went to pray for her and Anjani.
Czechoslovakia!
The Jember-Jogja family took turns taking pictures with the bride and groom. Via held Baby Zayn affectionately, then with Farhan congratulated and took pictures with the two happy brides.
“Sister-in-law,” greet Meli on Via.
“My sister-in-law is really beautiful, anyway.” Via praised Meli.
“Dek, relieved is it legal?” farhan asked Azka.
“Udah, dong. Azka's wife is beautiful, right?” Azka pulled Meli's hip until she got closer to her.
“Heeeem. You dare to be friendly now?” farhan Canda.
“Biarin, the important legitimate,” sahut Azka.
Azka continued to embrace Meli. Although timid, Meli's heart really can not resist the charm of Azka.
The wedding reception was simple. Another guest came to congratulate and pray for the bride and groom. Most who come are close neighbors, close family, and friends Meli some people only. With a friendly smile, Meli and Azka greeted the guests with great joy.
Towards the dhuhur, no longer seen the invited guests who came. Remaining Jember-Jogja family and good friends only Meli. Meli and Azka continued to emit a happy aura, until then came unexpected news in the midst of their happiness.
Farhan's countenance seriously received news from someone via phone. Via and Edi even got closer. As soon as he finished receiving the call, Farhan broke the news he heard. Om Candra crashes while going to Jember to attend Meli and Azka's wedding.
“I'll tell Azka. Please tell mom and dad. We must immediately fly to Medan," said Farhan seriously.
“Iya, slowly talk on Deck Azka,” advice Via.
Azka realized there was something different around. His family looked worried and mentioned the Candra Wijaya family. Azka invites Meli closer to find out what happened. Farhan quickly welcomes Azka and Meli. Careful, Farhan conveys that Om Candra was in an accident.
“We must go to Medan immediately,” said Azka steadily. Azka wanted to immediately find out his condition, because while in Medan he lived with Candra Wijaya.
Farhan nodded, then asked permission to give understanding to the Meli family.
Meli was still confused to interpret the situation around her. The happy atmosphere suddenly turned into worry. Meli saw Mother Aisyah, Mr. Haris and others talking with her parents. There was seriousness in that conversation.
Azka clasped Meli's hand so tightly. Azka's heavy heart to leave the beautiful figure who had just legitimately become his wife. However, Azka had to go to Medan immediately.
“Follow me a minute,” whispered Azka in Meli's ear.
Meli nodded. Still in Azka's hand, Meli stepped towards her room. Room decorated and covered with flowers. The room was supposed to be the bridal room for their first night.
Azka stared at Meli's bead eye fixedly.
“Honey, I have to go now,” Azka said.
“I understand,” Meli while holding back the tightness.
Azka. He was able to feel his wife's sadness and worry. He rubbed his cheeks slowly Meli while smiling.
“Part yourself well. Guard your honor. Take care of your husband's honor. Spirit continue your lecture. We can get through this, and soon we will be able to meet again,” Azka's message to Meli.
Meli's smile expands. One nod followed later. Meli understands every Azka message for her.
“I love you my wife,” says Azka sincerely.
Azka cut her distance with Meli. Their lips are fused. A few seconds Meli and Azka dissolved in the warmth and overflow of love that flowed from their lips. So satisfied, Azka took off. A sweet smile was again presented to Meli.

Mr. Haris and his family from Jogja are ready near the car. They waited for Azka. Soon, Azka appears with Meli
Azka said goodbye to her father-in-law, the other Meli family, as well as Meli's friends who were still there. Finally, Azka returned to say goodbye to his wife.
“Do not hesitate to snack a lot if you want. I have absolutely no problem if you are fat,” said Azka while looking at Meli.
Meli chuckles slowly. A smile bloomed adorning her beautiful face. Azka was a little relieved to see Meli's smile before her departure.
Azka kissed Meli's forehead gently. Although in an atmosphere of worry, all who witnessed Azka's love for Meli successfully made a baper.
“Assalamu’alaikum my wife,” say goodbye Azka while smiling.
“Wa’alaikumsalam my husband,” Meli replied with her best smile.
