Mahabbah Love Khalisa

139

Rindang took a deep breath as he exited his house, he stepped carefully into the car that would take him towards the Al-Fatah mosque. Rindang was accompanied by Huma and Khalisa while his parents were already in the mosque first.

Last night Rindang could not sleep thinking about today's contract, he continued to pray that the procession of the contract runs smoothly. Rindang also exchanged messages with Levin last night. Rindang asked if Levin was really ready to say the phrase qobul. Levin was quite confident and replied that he had already trained for it.

"You are so beautiful." Whisper Huma who was on the left side of Rindang, he even had a moment of silence when he looked at Rindang who was so graceful this morning.

Rindang just smiled behind his veil, he could not say a word because it was too tense. Even now he was sweating coldly, it felt like the car was running very slowly even though the distance of the house and mosque was only about 2 kilometers. But this time the 2 kilometers felt very far away.

"You've checked your blood sugar, haven't you?" Tanya Khalisa who sits on the right side of Rindang, he checked Rindang's medical equipment that he had prepared on a special pouch.

"Udah, it was very low but I've been drinking fruit juice for a ride."

"Hopefully stable now, you're lacking rest?" Khalisa pulled Rindang's hand and grabbed it.

"I can't sleep all night, absolutely no intention of staying up late but it's hard to sleep."

"You're tired."

Rindang chuckled, Khalisa is like a mother nagging her child. Because everything was all sudden, Rindang no longer thought about taking a break. Shady must immediately solve everything until he forgets time. Although the people around him helped a lot but Rindang wanted to make sure everything went according to his plan.

"Take it easy, I've had a lot of breakfast until my stomach is big." Rindang patted his stomach, saying that to calm Khalisa. Actually Rindang only ate a piece of wheat bread with peanut butter because he did not want his stomach to look distended when wearing a wedding dress.

"No confidence." Huma again whispered in Rindang's ear.

Rindang patted Huma's thigh so as not to discuss this anymore or else they would hear Khalisa nagging again.

Rindang car stopped in the courtyard of the mosque which was also full of Rindang family cars.

Rindang saw his papa stepping over to the car that brought him here. Khalisa and Huma come out first so Jonas can talk to Rindang.

"Well, Papa's son is beautiful." Jonas stared in admiration at the child, "Rindang is so beautiful, you look so much like your Mama." Jonas rubbed the cheeks of Rindang carefully afraid of ruining his makeup. Jonas remembered Michelin on their wedding day. "You sad?"

"Why should Rindang be sad?" Rindang looked at his papa.

"Because Papa can't marry you, unlike Daniel who can marry Khalisa to her husband."

Rindang shook his head, he lowered his papa hand which was on his cheek to grasp it. Rindang never envied Khalisa who could be married directly by his papa while he could not.

"Rindang is not at all sad about it, instead Rindang is very happy now, Rindang wants to say thank you very much because Papa and Mama always support Rindang." Rindang thanked them for not opposing his decision to embrace Islam and marry Levin. They always support Rindang.

Jonas peeked at the top of Rindang's head, trying to refrain from crying but this conversation made him emotional. Rindang was the only child, it was hard to take it off. But Jonas believes Levin can keep and make Rindang happy.

"Sorry Papa."

"Papa don't apologize."

"Mom'll be here any minute, Papa come in first." Jonas rubbed Rindang's head one more time and got out of the car.

Among those present that morning in the Al-Fatah mosque, none came from the Levin family. Only Daniel and Ica are the replacements for Levin's parents. Several times Levin looked at the door, hoping that his mom or dad would suddenly come to watch his wedding. Levin was like living alone on earth, he was lonely sitting among them.

Levin was always lonely, like when celebrating a holiday he could not do sungkeman with his parents. There was no cake in his house, usually Levin would buy a cake and eat it with Meylin. But during the holiday, Levin can still meet his fellow Muslims outside so he always considers them family even though he does not know him. But now Levin feels really lonely an endless loneliness.

Daniel who had been watching Levin was trying to get him to talk so as not to get too tense. Daniel knew Levin wasn't grieving on his happy day, he just wanted his parents.

This mosque became the most historic building in Daniel's life, because he used to also say the shahadah and Akas nikah here. Daniel's parents were not present on his happy day. That's why Daniel understands Levin's feelings so well. It's just that Levin's completely alone, no family with him.

"I'll start." Penghulu reached out to Levin. "You want to practice first?"

Levin does not need to practice anymore because from yesterday he has practiced enough to say the phrase qobul.

In the car, Rindang and his two friends looked at the screen that displayed the atmosphere inside the mosque. Leafy are not stopping to make shalawat so that their business is launched.

"Wah Ko Levin's enough PD." Lirih Huma saw Levin shake his head when the ruler asked if they needed to practice first.

"I married and I married you Levin Evander Deristiano bin Michael Deristiano with Rindang Anjana bint Jonas Aderic with a dowry a set of prayer tools and a unit of house paid in cash."

"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Rindang Anjana bint Jonas Aderic with the dowry, cash."

As the witnesses exclaimed Sah, the breaths that were originally held could finally be exhaled with length. They offered a prayer led by the ruler. Pray for blessings in the Levin and Rindang household after this.

Moments later Michelin and Ica come to pick up Rindang in the car. Step by step take Rindang towards the terrace of the mosque.

Levin moved from his seat to see Rindang coming, he could not hold back his crying anymore. His current feelings are mixed between happy and haru into one. Levin's tears flowed profusely to see Rindang who had now officially become his wife.

Shady looks graceful with a white dress, a headscarf that extends to the back and a small crown above her head.

Levin's heart, which had originally felt empty due to the absence of parents, was now filled to the brim after Rindang came. Levin looked down and rubbed his wet cheeks and looked up again and put on the sweetest smile as Rindang got closer.

Shady heart pounding, what is this? Huma said in the novel when in love then the character will feel a loud thump and his whole body like exposed to electricity. When hearing that from Huma, Rindang thought that it made no sense. How can someone feel like they are electrocuted.

But now Rindang felt all Huma's words made sense, when he kissed the back of Levin's hand, his body shook like it was hit by an electric shock. Even Rindang could not support his own body, if Levin did not hold his arm he would have collapsed.

"You're so pretty." Levin whispered for a second before he landed his lips on Levin's forehead.

"Coko cry?" Rindang closed his eyes letting Levin kiss his forehead longer.

"I can't help it after seeing you." Reply Levin in a low voice. "I'll pray."

"Good." Rindang raised two hands to the chest while Levin touched the top of his head and whispered a prayer after the meeting.

Levin pulled his hand back after praying, his eyes twinkling at Rindang. How could Levin just realize that Rindang has a very beautiful face, apart from the veil that blocks part of his face, Levin can still see the beauty of the wife.

"Sorry, I'm late." The heavy sound of someone at the door distracts everyone inside the mosque.

"Papa."

"Of!"

"Sorry everyone, I'm Michael Levin's papa." Michael introduced himself to everyone, he circulated the view of seeking the truth of Rindang's parents. Because he had not met before, Michael did not know the figure of Jonas and Michelin.

"Papa." Get Levin.

"Sorry Papa." Michael hugs Levin, feeling guilty for letting Levin take care of everything himself.

"Thank you Papa has come."

"Sorry, Papa's late." Only an apology can Michael say to Levin for the guilt that has taken hold of him.

"Papa don't apologize." Levin parses hugs.

"Papa's proud of you son." Michael patted Levin's shoulder twice and turned to look at Rindang.

Michael stretched out his arms to hug Rindang, "welcome to Shade."

Rindang turned to Levin, hesitating to hug Michael. Can he hug Michael? But after seeing Levin nod, Rindang finally hugged Michael.

"Sorry, Om can't keep Om's promise to bring Aunt Val here." A speck of crystal drenched Michael's cheeks. He has been trying to persuade Valerie to attend their son's wedding. But Valerie remained in her stance, she refused to come.

"With Om coming here, I'm happy." Rindang said encouraging Michael.

"Then now you can call Papa."

Shady smiled widely, it would sound awkward but he had to do it. Last night Rindang also thought about what name he would use to call Levin after marriage. If Khalisa could call Mas or Abi then Rindang could not find a suitable call for Levin. Whether Rindang should ask Levin this, he wondered if Khalisa also asked Azfan before changing his call.

"Good, Papa." Said Rindang slightly choked.

"May God give you happiness and bless your marriage." Michael looked at Levin and Rindang alternately.

"Thank you Pa."

"Thank you Om—Pa." Rindang is not used to calling Michael papa, that's why he's a little clumsy.

Levin clasped Rindang's cold hand leading him to sit in front of the ruler to sign their marriage certificate.

After that they captured the moment in the mosque with family and some close relatives of Rindang's parents.

When he was about to take a photo outside the mosque suddenly there were dozens of journalists who swarmed Rindang and Levin. Shocked to see them, he has tried to close the meeting about his marriage but there are journalists who know this.

"Ci, please say something about your marriage."

"Why Ci Rindang suddenly married, so far there is no news that Cici will be married since the break up of Jason."

"Why is this marriage so closed?"

"Please introduce to us a lucky man married to a shady."

They were scrambling to ask questions of Rindang. Some people who stood guard in front of the mosque swiftly protected Rindang and Levin.

Shindang was too surprised and confused to answer their questions, he did not expect something like this to happen. Even Rindang deliberately did not use a special building for his wedding because he wanted to keep this matter a secret.

"I'll answer your questions one by one but please calm down." Finally Rindang made a sound.

Levin embraces Rindang's waist from the side, "we can go straight in the car if you don't want to answer." Sluggishly.

Shady must answer their curiosity and the people out there. If it dodged now then it would only stir up the prejudices of some people.

"First I had no intention of concealing this marriage, I will definitely tell but not now for various reasons, one of which is my husband is not a celebrity, he said, selebgram or something and he's not used to this kind of atmosphere so I beg my fellow journalists to respect our privacy."

Levin looked at Rindang amazed because of his assertiveness, he never said that he could be disturbed by the existence of journalists but Rindang knew it. Shindang knows what is hidden in Levin's heart.

"May I tell them?" Rindang saw Levin, if Levin disagreed then he would not tell reporters about him.

"No problem." Levin shook his head, and sooner or later they'll find out about him.

"Since you're here then I'll tell you that the man next to me now is Levin Evander Deristiano who has officially become my husband."

"Hearing his last name, is Levin the son of the hotel owner Ashwatama?"

"True, then it's enough to get here first." Rindang stepped about to leave the terrace of the mosque.

"Please answer one more question." Push 'em.

"Enough enough." Cried the guard who was trying to protect Rindang and Levin.

Rindang gripped Levin's arm tightly as he went down the steps of the mosque, his gaze twisting so that he could not see his own footing.

"Thunder!" People screamed when suddenly Rindang's body collapsed but fortunately Levin was quick to catch him.

Levin lifts Rindang's unconscious body. He called for the crowd of reporters to make way for him.

"His blood sugar was so low this morning." Khalisa told Levin. "Rindang must have missed breakfast."

"I have to take him to the hospital, Rindang has hypoglycemia." Levin took Rindang into his car. He checked his heart rate using a stethoscope. "Pa, Ma, we need to get Rindang to the hospital." He said when his father-in-law got in the car.

Jonas was in the steering wheel, he was running the car out of the courtyard of the mosque at high speed. Jonas doesn't want anything bad to happen to Rindang.

Levin clasped Rindang's pale hands, as the doctor should not be too panicked but when this happened to Rindang, he could not control himself.
