Loving Or Loved?

By His Fate Each (End)

Three months passed after being officially proposed in front of her parents after her return from Korea, now Fani is enjoying her day after day as a girl because the day after tomorrow she will officially become Lady Bagaskara. Man may plan, but whose destiny can God evade? Likewise with Fani who had planned to get married at the age of 26 or 27 years was given a mate God who came 4 years ahead of his plan. As a human being he can only carry out what is before him freely and gratefully.

Qiana gave birth a week ago, at 35 weeks, a week earlier than HPL. Both babies are healthy with the sex of women and men, Hajar Rinindia Atmadja and Haidar Amri Atmadja named.Semenjaknya 7 months of gestation Qiana has stayed in Jakarta, at the home of the in-law. Avoiding anything unwanted, especially for twin pregnancies makes the mother become easily tired. The stay of the Akbar family in Jakarta also makes it easier for Fani to prepare for her wedding, because many people help her to make the concept of her dream wedding come true, moreover, there are 3 creatures that are now able to give a new spirit to the Atmadja family.

“Dedek Hajal, Dedek Haidal, let's play brother yuk.” Akbar's eldest son, who is now 4 years and 4 months old, is now carrying two whistles to comfort his two younger siblings, though the two babies if the afternoon still like to sleep and will wake up if they feel hungry or when disturbed by the brother like this. At the age of almost 5 years Dafa is still difficult to pronounce the letter R clearly, he said, sometimes if tempted by Ontynya because it is considered to change the name of his two sisters he will snack all day on his Onty and will improve when given a cup of ice cream favorite strawberry flavor.

The day continued to pass until the day H arrived, without any watering without a series of customary events wedding procession of any region, the, there is only do’a together last night and now Fani is beautiful with a white kebaya attached to her body not to forget the matching colored veil that dangles over her chest tucked in a neatly arranged jasmine flower arrangement like a bandana that adorned the top of his veil and dangled slightly to his chest.

It was Friday, yes it was at Fani's request of course. Her dream wedding was a reception without an ijab, a meal with the family and distributing food in some mosques to people who prayed Friday prayers at the mosque she appointed, especially the mosque is used as a place of ijab qobulnya. Let more blessings be many who mendo’akan said. And it was immediately approved by Bagas and his family, because it wanted the event to be held with luxury or simple, the most important thing is that the event is smooth and in the future becomes a blessing for the lives of both.

Several motorcades from both the bride and groom's families have entered the largest mosque area in Jakarta, the heartbeat of the two brides has been beating faster, too, lying if you are not nervous even though there is no reception and attended by close family still the nervousness is there. Especially when everyone has occupied their place.

The table is a long cross shaped covered with white cloth and there are some roses as ornaments, sitting on a soft thick carpet is also beautiful Bagas is now sitting opposite the prospective in-law, Mr. Amri who has been sitting next to the ruler. On the right and left side there are witnesses from the male side and also from the female side. This is for the first time both for Bagas and Pak Amri who only have one daughter, making both of them afflicted with extraordinary nervousness.

The invited guests in the form of close family of both families, as well as the right-left neighbors of Bagas and Fani's house did not forget the Qiana family who deliberately came all together to visit Qiana who had just given birth, who had just given birth, incidentally, Grandma Mira's condition has also improved enough after routine check-ups during her time in Surabaya.

“Fani, anyeong..” said the girl who has now settled down next to Fani, then grabbed the bride who is now sitting in the shaf section of the woman who was blocked by wooden bulkheads, waiting for the priest to say the ijab.

“Oh.Jeez you came, thank you Andin.” He hugged his best friend tightly, until the voice of the ruler who was starting the event with a little question and answer with the Papa and also his prospective priest made him release Andin's embrace and choose to focus on hearing the sacred sentence that will soon become a new beginning to his life.

“Brother Bagas ready?” the voice of the ruler sounded like a tantalizing question to Bagas.

In his seat Bagas already felt a cold sweat, especially when he saw the nervous face that emanated from the face of the prospective in-laws made his heart a little relieved, that he did not himself feel nervousness. Penghulu who was busy with checking the administration and had a little teasing it now looks serious.

Continued with the recitation of the holy verses of the Qur’an along with its translation and the sermon of marriage delivered by ustadz Rokhman. Bagas was still busy to win himself, repeatedly he seemed to be taking a deep breath, then exhaling slowly. Until the voice of the ruler who instrupts him to immediately shake hands with Mr. Amri to immediately do the process of ijab qobul.

“Ananda Agam Bagaskara Bin Fahri Bagaskara I married and I control you with my son Qiana Fanindira Atmadja bint Amri Atmadja with mascawin in the form of a set of prayer tools and metal starting at 50 grams paid in cash.” Mr. Amri feels his heartbeat has been beating normally trying to calm his mind that has been in a state of turmoil for several days, where his youngest child will be out of his responsibilities and owned by another man besides himself and his eldest son.

“I accept marriage and marriage Anindira Atmadja Binti Amri Atmadja with the mascawin, cash.” Voices

lantang full of confidence that has completed the magic sentence and automatically now Fani is SAH to be the most important part in the journey of his life, his WIFE, THE FUTURE MOTHER of his children.

“How is the witness legitimate?” ask Mr. Penghulu.

Fani has walked towards her husband accompanied by her Mama and Mama-in-law, very graceful and beautiful.

The ring exchange event, kiss the husband's hand and kiss the wife's forehead they have done solemnly not to forget the condolences against the two parents of the happy bride and groom. And now at the morning supper at noon hehehe, some families appeared to come to the newlyweds shaking hands with each other, sometimes there are directly hugging or linking each other cheeks accompanied by a lot of do’a-do spoken from the lips of the guests. 1000 boxes of rice have been spread to 3 mosques of choice Fani and some of them are also given to people who work on the streets such as, pedicab, ojek, angkot driver, etc, and whoever it is looks like needs.

“Welcome to live a new life Mrs Bagaskara and husband,” said Andin who has now stood before him with a tall man who had disturbed his life some time ago.

“Waoow, I think there will soon follow A.” Fani said as she opened her eyes to her husband.

“At the end, all will be together with their respective destinies. Happy wedding Fan, Gas wish blessings and always be happy,” said the tall man as he reached out to the groom and woman in turn. Making those who know their story should be made, sincere in the decrees outlined by God is the best choice for each of His servants.

Thank you to the faithful readers of this last chapter. I apologize if the storyline written in this novel does not match the expectations of the readers, the point I want to lift from this novel is how a woman meets her partner. To love or to be loved? There are still a lot of people

out there confused, to whom will the heart be anchored (including me hehe J) choose the A who loves us or the B we love? If you can choose someone who loves each other. But in spite of it all, we must remember one thing there is always a destiny role that moves to whom our heart will be anchored. Perhaps like Qiana, who anchored her heart to the figure she had just met in a matter of months, without any previous love just relying on a sense of awe and knowing that the man loved her sincerely. At the beginning of the year he probably did not plan at all to get married that year, but the power of God moved his heart when Akbar came to propose to him. Or like Fani who is paired with Bagas his childhood friend? Then make sure his heart that there is Bagas who has occupied the recesses of his heart without him noticing. Or like Tiwi who is married to her high school friend, the love of her wonderful teenage years lasts until Grandpa Grandma, unch is adorable.

Some people may be married without love, but because they accept each other and eventually get used to living with the feeling that there is, love grows. To love or to be loved? I think both are important because in a long-term relationship, the longest worship is marriage in which there are two pairs of people who must give each other reciprocity that is equally beneficial for the life of the world-end. Loving and being loved are two things that must go hand in hand in order to create harmony in a heart-based relationship.

Hadeuh, miir-mir I write the character is not as frequency hehehe. I believe the love story of each couple on earth is unique and very memorable for both or even some parties who joined the love story of some of these people, such as the story of Alm. Mr. Habibi and Alm. Bu Ainun for example or Romeo and Juliet, Rama-Sinta maybe, or the love story of another couple who are no less blessed for the lives of young people in this era.

The point is I apologize if it does not match the expectations of the readers and I say a lot of thanks because you guys, the novel that exists because of the pandemic can be this amateur author, writers contract in apk that gives us ease in reading novels because it is actually free for all readers except those who want to vote coins for Author (Kudu top up first hehehe).

Happy new year, hopefully 2021 will be better for all of us.

The lop u all…
