Today Arby will be reunited with Ainun the girl of his heart's choice whom he has never met for years. Only the nuclear family will accompany, Father, mother Luna and also Abang Zaidan while Zaki chose to stay at home because he was busy doing science in his room.
As soon as the car enters the pesantren yard which is indeed the gate that will take them to the house of Ustadz Mukti which is still one area with pesantren. Arby's heart has begun to change, his heart is not broken because of his decision to marry Ainun. But because he would soon see a face that might be foreign to him while his heart was so adrift. Arby recalled the CV Ainun given by Zaidan as the intermediary for both.Ainun Chandani best graduate in his campus and his hobby is reading. Ainun also had several academic achievements up to Tahfiz Qur'an. Ainun was perfect in Arby's eyes.
As soon as they got out of the car, they were welcomed by the family of Ustadz Mukti, even he himself was in the front row. After saying their greetings, they were invited to enter a house that was still one area with a cottage.
" Oh God I'm so nervous" said Arby quietly." but still caught his voice by Zaidan.
" Calm down, and make miser.." he said the plot lost slowly while holding Arby into the house.
The middle-aged woman approached.
" MasyaaAllah, future ghost." said Ms. Salamah mother of Ainun.
" Ainun, bring me the dishes, son!" Ms. Salamah again made a sound and made Arby more restless impatient to see the figure of her little girl first somehow now.
ARby POV
A girl who was accompanied by two women while carrying drinks and food to be served. He walked while bowed deeply, looking like he was nervously walking slowly. When placing the dish on the table her face slightly raised, her face was beautiful with shady eyes and looks soft he said, heard when he invited us to eat the dishes he served. Beautiful natural even without the inherent lip dye or powder. Really beautiful natural. I didn't realize the corner of this lip was raised when I kicked him a glance and then he sat down near his mother.
" this is Ainun, now grown up not the little Ainun that Arby wanted to know first." Ustadz Mukti.
I saw that Ainun was a little aghast but was soon able to control himself, he glanced at me and his gaze was that I don't know, I can guess what he was thinking. Was he surprised when he heard my name, did I not write a small note under my CV that I was his little friend even I included a photo of Micky mouse and Mini mouse that we have. A pair of dolls that we had had one each... I really don't understand.
" It was Ainu before. Handing over to us his parents even Ainun never saw or read the CV that Arby wanted to give." the breath ustadz Mukti was so heavy. This time I was surprised because it turns out Ainun did not read the CV that I sent even not only me but Bang Zaidan also seemed shocked by the words of Ustadz Mukti just now. The atmosphere was a little tense but papa and mama were aware and looked at each other and finally papa opened his voice.
" Then decide now and don't make the wrong decision because you will have a hard time living it."
We were still equally silent, I was even more troubled to feel there was something strange about Ainun who did not want to know her future husband first. Was he forced? The question just popped into my mind.
" Please you decide, will not you live it not us. Because as a parent God will love anyone our daughter-in-law because she is the love of my child. But to choose it you are the one who determines we do not want to force." this time mama expressed her opinion. And everyone nodded in agreement. Basically I had agreed that even I was the one who wanted this marriage, now it was only Ainun's answer that I was waiting for to determine this marriage. But he just stayed and bowed to see what the girl was thinking, I also can't guess what's inside her head wrapped in a long maroon-colored veil in harmony with the clothes she wears.
" Umi hopes, this marriage continues after all it is clear that son Arby did want Ainun and Ainun had previously accepted, and even before, you also look equally good and educated from a good family also clearly nasab also good religion. But Umi is not a selfish parent, Umi knows the needs and feelings of your children. Ainun happy. Allah Umi will be happy. My mother-in-law's words were so soft. I hope that Ainun will inherit her tenderness which will later be her tenderness that will educate our children. Huff.. My mind has traveled too far now even has thought about children even though the marriage is still not decided. Istighfar Arby, the other side of me also advised.
* Alright, Ainun has one question for Arby. Ainun wanted to ask Arby's views on polygamy, because now it happens a lot of money origin, as if it becomes mandatory and light to run by men. I took a deep breath before answering the question Ainun had given me.
First, I never intended to be polygamous. Because I think property is not enough for the reason of being able to undergo polygamy there must be readiness other than financially must understand religiously and it is not enough because there must be readiness from the first wife nor the second is not only the readiness of the husband. And I feel unprepared because fair is something that may only belong to Allah SWT. Fair according to humans, of course the portions are different.
Ainun nodded at my reply, a faint smile coming from his lips. Seems satisfied with my answer.
And when I was allowed to ask I chose not to ask because I had already fallen into Ainun's charm long ago. I like what he has on him. Eventually the marriage I dreamed of would happen with the girl I wanted anyway. Thank you God. I continued to mumble Hamdallah's words of gratitude for what happened at this time. I had doubts. The wedding plan was again discussed even more quickly and it makes preparations must be done immediately considering that there will be many people who will be invited.
Happy reading 💜💜
