Mahabbah Love Khalisa

167

Doubletree By Hilton Ballroom is transformed into like Hogwarts School according to the theme of Humaira's wedding Harry Potter where all the invitations wear black and red. The only person dressed in white was the bride.

Once inside the guests will immediately see a pile of artificial pumpkins arranged in such a way with a broomstick and a large owl statue.

The tables are arranged spreading throughout the room. On each table are candles and displays resembling magic wands and ancient books that open. On the table is a heart-red Peony flower like the dress code tonight.

The lights in the shape of a flying key hang on the table. On the other hand there is a Photobooth place for guests with a background that is also themed Harry Potter.

The most attention-grabbing is the wedding cake up ahead. Because the cake is white, it will steal the attention of every guest who comes. It is shaped like the exterior of Hogwarts School with a winged basketball at the top.

All these decorations illustrate how much the bride loved Harry Potter in other bridal times using the princess theme for her wedding.

This morning the Doubletree ballroom also witnessed the marriage contract of a happy couple, Humaira and Hamiz, followed by an afternoon reception until evening.

"Good Humaira to me." Khalisa embraced Huma with feelings of haru because finally after hesitating to choose between Geza and Hamiz, Huma solidified his choice on a man named Abdullah Hamiz Ahmad—the eldest son of Arfan Khalif Ahmad. Who would have thought that a man Huma hid his name from Khalisa was Hamiz who in fact Khalisa already knew since childhood because their house was close together.

"May you always be happy and blessed by God." Khalisa patted Huma's back twice before breaking down the hug.

"Thank you Khalisa, you gave me the best advice for making a choice." Huma looked at Khalisa with teary eyes.

Khalisa shook his head, "it's all because of God, I'm just an intermediary."

"Mbak Khalisa, thank you." Hamiz told Khalisa.

"I believe you can be a good husband to Huma, understand her madness in Harry Potter."

Hamiz chuckled, "i understand very well about that, Ma'am."

Everyone's happy for the two brides tonight. Except for one person who had just sat in one of the chairs with an empty look. It was Geza— - someone who understood Huma's likes so well. Huma also understands Geza until he wants to wait for him for years. But until Huma asks for certainty to Geza, the man remains motionless. Geza remained silent on the spot until he had to willingly marry Huma Hamiz. Geza continues to console himself that Hamiz is the best man for Huma compared to him. Hamiz had a melodious voice and a Hafidz Qur'an. There was certainly no reason for Huma to reject Hamiz. Geza is not worth the wait for a Humaira.

Geza comes to this reception and meets Huma one last time. Geza wanted to say goodbye to Huma—he had pain in his chest because the woman he liked married another man.

"Geza, before I wanted to tell you if there was a man who was serious about me, he wanted to propose to me. I ask again, you are seriously not the same as me, as a woman I ask for certainty from you, otherwise I will accept the proposal of the man."

That was Huma's remark two years ago. Until now Geza could not believe that the man turned out to be Hamiz who had been his friend since childhood.

"A subsidiary of a publishing company is married to the son of a bookstore owner, your household will be filled with books." Rindang hugged Huma to congratulate her, she was also happy for the marriage. Pray that both will be happy.

"But how do you know him?" Levin asked a question that had disturbed his mind. Actually Khalisa and Rindang were also curious about it just that they had not had time to ask Huma.

"Later to tell." Reply Huma while glancing at Khalisa and Rindang.

"Your soul mate is leaning in." Rindang patted Huma's arm.

"We're the same age."

"Oh yeah?" Rindang raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"Yes, when I was in High School, I was in acceleration class, so you're actually older than me." Huma emphasized that because actually his age with Hamiz is not much different. Hamiz is 2 months older than Huma.

They do photo sessions together many times to be satisfied. One by one the guests also began to go up to the wedding to congratulate the happy bride.

Some guests also take turns taking pictures in the photobooth section. Who would have thought Harry Potter did not lose his fans even though decades have passed.

Now it's Geza's turn to rise to the guarantee, in life there are indeed two possibilities. First became the bride or second became the invited guest and Geza became the second. Of course Geza must look tough anyway he is a coward because obviously he is the one who does not make a choice.

"Congratulations Miz." Geza greeted Hamiz and hugged him for a moment.

"Thank you for coming."

"No way I didn't come, you two made me." Geza commented with a forced smile, he did not want to look more sad if he did not meet the invitation Huma and Hamiz.

"Humaira, I hope you're always happy." Geza stared at Huma deeply for a while before Huma lowered his head.

Huma nodded slowly, "i hope you also marry the kind woman of your choice."

Geza smiled bitterly at Huma's words, suddenly he regretted not daring to answer when Huma asked his seriousness. At that time Geza had not graduated from college so he did not dare to answer. Geza should be desperate to marry Huma even though he does not have anything, even though he must ask for help from parents to finance his marriage. His father was a General Manager of the hotel and his mother the Chief Chef at the Jinggo Resort. But Geza couldn't do that, now it's too late to regret.

There is no woman I have ever known better than you, Huma.

Geza came down from the pelaminan with a crushed feeling, he walked straight out of the ballroom. Geza can't stay there much longer.

"Are you okay?" Hamiz saw Huma.

Huma turned to Hamiz and then commented on the smile, why did Hamiz ask like that.

"What question is that?" Huma doesn't like Hamiz's questions.

"It's nothing, you guys have liked each other."

Huma shook his head, "i've chosen you."

Hamiz smiled at Huma's words, he grabbed the hand of the woman who had now become his wife and held her.

Various dishes are presented on the table, there is also a dessert that is still themed Harry Potter with a beautiful shape until the guests love to eat it.

After the wedding cake cutting session, it is time for the bride and the guests to enjoy dinner. Huma and Hamiz sat at a table with Khalisa, Azfan, Rindang, Levin, Kafa, Mahira and their children.

Huma promised to tell them how he could meet and get to know Hamiz.

Their first meeting was when the UII campus held an MTQ competition which was attended by 30 campuses from various regions. At that time Hamiz became one of the participants.

Huma sat among the other students in the chair that had been provided. At that time Khalisa had just left after getting a call from Rindang— which turned out to be the caller was Revan. Huma was in charge of recording the video on Azfan's turn. After filming, Huma was about to turn off Khalisa's camera but he didn't know how.

Suddenly Hamiz approached Huma after a long time of noticing Huma having trouble pressing every button on the camera.

"May I help you?" Hamiz reached out his hand intending to help Huma.

Huma looked up at the stranger, of course he did not want to carelessly give Khalisa's camera to people he did not know.

"I saw you sitting with Khalisa."

Huma did not answer, no wonder if the man who is foreign to Huma even knows Khalisa. Huma wondered if Khalisa knew all the participants here. Khalisa is not a committee let alone participants but this guy even knows Khalisa.

Yeah, well, if it wasn't for him why now I have Khalisa's camera.

"The answer to my question is to use my mouth, I cannot hear your conscience."

Huma was surprised, could this guy hear his thoughts?

"Yes." Yeah." Huma replied at last.

"I also know Khalisa."

Then what should I say? usually, every seller in the market also knows Khalisa. You think I'd be surprised?

"I'm Hamiz from Banyuwangi." Hamiz showed the participant card attached to his right chest.

"Oh, so you really know Khalisa?"

"You think I lied to you?"

"I believe it but most of the people here also they must know Khalisa."

"I'll help you turn off the camera, don't press the button to break it."

Huma immediately gave the camera to Hamiz, he felt guilty for thinking badly of the man. Five seconds later Hamiz had finished turning off the camera and put it back in Huma's hands.

"Thank you, yeah." Huma.

"Together." Hamiz soon passed from there, he also finished performing before Azfan earlier.

"Khalisa's gone all over again." Grutu Huma while putting Khalisa's camera in his bag.

Huma thought after that he would never meet that guy named Hamiz again but he was wrong. The second meeting was when Huma went to visit his parents' book printing house. At that time Huma was very bored at home, he did not have a job and went to the printing house.

Huma saw Hamis coming down from the parked box car in front of the printing house.

"You're Hamiz, right?" Huma pointed at Hamiz to make sure, he was pangling because Hamiz changed slightly, his body was taller and his appearance was different from when Huma met him the first time.

"Yes, are you Khalisa's friend?"

"Yes, what are you doing here?"

"You want to pick up a book but I've never been here before, you know where to get the book?"

"New book?"

"There are some books that have been reprinted."

Huma decides to drive Hamiz to the book-order collection, counting on Hamiz's help back then on campus. At that time they had a chat, Huma finally knew if Hamiz managed a bookstore owned by his parents.

The third meeting was when Huma stayed at Khalisa's house after Rindang's wedding. Huma takes Zunaira for a walk around the house, again for reasons of boredom because Khalisa went with Azfan. Zunaira shows her favorite place with Khalisa and Azmal, namely Tono's book owned by Hamiz's parents. From there Huma and Hamiz chatted more and exchanged phone numbers.

Humaira, what do you think if I propose to you? we've known you long enough, you're good and we can discuss many things together. What if we live together and talk about many other things.

Huma could not answer and kept Hamiz quiet for two years. Huma thought that Hamiz was no longer waiting for him. But it turns out Hamiz is still faithfully waiting for him. Huma finally accepted Hamiz's proposal which he had hung for a long time.

"You can't tell me the same story all this time." Khalisa protested after hearing all of Huma's stories.

"I know why Huma never told me about me, he thinks Geza is much more interesting to tell, isn't that Humaira?" Hamiz glanced at Huma and asked in a seductive tone.

"Absolutely not, I'm ashamed because that guy is you, I'm afraid Khalisa is cheating on me." Huma was grateful that he was now wearing thick make-up so that they would not be able to see the tinge on his cheek.

"But I salute Hamiz because he wants to wait for Huma to be that long." Rindang Sahut.

"I did the same, baby." Lirih Levin who was sitting next to Rindang.

Rindang elbowed Levin, "of course I'm more amazed by you handsome Koko."

"Sshhhh Ravina will follow you again call me Koko."

Rindang smothered his mouth hoping that Ravina did not hear his words just now. It doesn't seem like Ravina is playing with Azka.

"I want to share a good story with you too." Tukas Rindang while circulating the view.

"Run, can't wait." Huma put down his spoon for the sake of listening to Rindang's words.

Leafy put a light blue box on the table.

"What's this?" Khalisa first grabbed the box.

Rindang glanced at Levin and smiled meaningfully.

Khalisa opened the box in his hand and his pair of eyes widened to see the contents of the box.

"You pregnant?" Khalisa immediately jumped into Rindang's arms, his tears melted away from hearing the happy news.

"What's? Missing pregnant?" Huma screamed to distract the people around him. He joined in hugging Rindang.

Rindang did not know if this was indeed happy news because he was very surprised to see two lines on the test pack he used. But Rindang will try his hardest to keep the baby in his stomach until born later. Rindang did not care how painful the pregnancy period was but he was sure God gave this gift because he and Levin were able to take care of the child.

"Why are you crying, this is happy news." Rindang rubbed Khalisa's cheeks wet with tears.

Khalisa smiled in his tears, he was very grateful because God gave a very beautiful gift. That means Ravina will soon have a sister.

Shindang: Your smile is a weird darling!
