Marrying Ustaz Ganteng

Episode 49's

Naira and Rifky leave for the mosque and bring some change of clothes as they will go straight to their parents' house later.

After tidying up her clothes, Rifky turned to look at Naira who was still wearing a hijab. The man approached his wife and turned Naira's body to face her. Then smile while tidying up Naira's hijab.

"Don't be sad again, huh, honey? Beautiful, you know," said Rifky comforting. Naira nodded and smiled as Rifky cupped both of her cheeks gently. This touch of her husband really gave her some calm. Why does she have to cry too? Shouldn't he be happy because soon he will have the baby of a man like Rifky. Naira recalled her mother's message that a good woman was she who was devoted to her husband and was able to educate her children later. Naira misses her mother, her mother always makes her strong.

"Kok nangis, again, anyway ...?" Rifky wiped away Naira's tears and looked at her gently.

"I miss Mama, Mas" said Naira, wiping her tears.

"Later, we'll go there. Now we go njai first, huh? Yuk!" Rifky smiled and guided Naira's hand to say goodbye to Bi Ira.

Bi Ira was also ready with her neat clothes. Rifky tells her to go to Herman's house first because she doesn't want to leave the middle-aged woman alone.

I can't help leaving Bi Ira alone. Especially at night.

The woman was already like their parents, who paid her full attention to Naira and Rifky.

Before long their car left the yard to go to Surau.

"Mas! Buy me ice cream, will you? Well, can't you ...?" naira's Pinta was accompanied by her pouting expression.

Rifky smiled at him. "Can, Honey. But not much, huh?" answer Rifky. Naira nodded and returned Rifky's smile. Then closer to Rifky and a short peek on her husband's left cheek.

Rifky chuckled for a moment looking at his wife. Naira who heard Rifky's ruckus immediately repeated her action kissing Rifky's cheek. I don't know! She always wanted to be close to her handsome husband.

Before long, their car got to where it was headed. Naira and Rifky immediately got out of the car and entered the surau after taking the ablution water back.

All the children welcomed their arrival, some even embraced Naira.

Naira who used to dislike them, now loves them very much with her tenderness. How not to like it if they used to laugh at Naira when Naira first entered this surau? Huh! Naira was embarrassed to remember that time.

They did their studies as usual. Naira studied with her students, from reading the Qur'an to her short surahs.

At the end of his activities, Naira reopened the Koran. He accidentally read one of the suras that made his tears drip.

وَاِذْ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَىِٕنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَاَزِيْدَنَّكُمْ وَلَىِٕنْ كَفَرْتُمْ اِنَّ عَذَابِيْ لَشَدِيْدٌ.

'And (remember) when your Lord declares, 'If you are grateful, I will add (merciful) to you, but if you deny (my Thy), then My punishment will be severe.' (Q.L. Pb:7).

Naira remembered all her actions. Has he been grateful all this time? God has given him much favor.

Naira's tears flowed down her smooth cheeks. The other children looked at him in wonder. What was? Why is Naira crying for no reason?

Rifky who saw Naira immediately asked his wife. However, Naira just shook her head. He did not want the attention of everything to be focused on him. Let ...he alone who restores himself to become a better person.

The Qur'an is true. The promise of God is certain. Then he will always improve himself and always be grateful for His favor.

Naira sure. The best for him is not necessarily good for God. But the worst for him is certainly good for God.

With that confidence, being able to make the corners of his lips lift up. His heart became calmer now.

After teaching, they gathered in the mosque to perform the prayer of Ashar. The mosque was already full of other worshippers who wanted to pray, and this time Iyan became its imam.

When it was time to go home, Iyan called Rifky and ran over to his best friend. Rifky, who wanted to get into the car, shut the door.

"What's up, Yan?" rifky asked with raised eyebrows.

"No papa. This is! My wedding invitation!" Iyan handed Rifky an invitation.

"Groaning Orchids?" rifky murmured with squeaking eyes. I feel familiar with that name.

"Yes. We are one fate. Matchmade!" answer Iyan. However, with his sweetest smile.

"Wah-wah! New bride, no. This it? Three more days, right?" goda Rifky pointed to the date on the invitation.

"Babylon, ah. You are so fond of seducing people." Iyan groaned towards Rifky. Rifky laughed at his best friend.

"Rifky ... come on! Take your wife home!" Ustaz Hanan who was tired of waiting for Iyan, opened his voice. He came home with his neighbor's son.

"Yes, Pa. Haha." Once again Rifky laughed and patted Iyan on the shoulder. Then get in the car where Naira is waiting.

"Sorry old, huh, Om?" Iyan said to Ustaz Hanan.

"Yes, no papa, Yan. You if it's the same Rifky so. That bastard must have teased you, right?" ustaz Hanan replied with a ruckus.

"That's, deh, Om. That's, Rifky ...." Iyan drove his car home.

"You're alike. No longer a child!" cibir Ustaz Hanan's.

"Hehe, kidding, kok, Om," Iyan replied laughing. Ustaz Hanan chuckled in response.

After buying Naira ice cream, Rifky took her to Herman's house. Their destination is now to Papa's house and will stay there.

As soon as she reached her house, Naira immediately ran in leaving Rifky. I can't wait to meet his mother-Marlin.

"Assalamu'alaikum ..," greetings Naira, "Mama ... Naira's coming ...."

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Darling?" Marlin immediately greeted his daughter with a warm embrace. So did Naira, she kissed her mother's cheek many times because she had missed so much. Marlin who was amused only chuckled at Naira's behavior. Naira never kissed her mother like this.

"Who? Where's rifky?" ask Herman who just came from upstairs. He smiled when he heard Rifky say hello.

"What about, anyway? It's not that Naira is Mas Rifky. The son of Papa, Naira. Not Mas Rifky!" cerocos Naira with her pouting face.

All were only able to laugh at Naira's ravings. Why would Herman ask Rifky? Naira had seen it.

"Yes, Honey. You are Papa's son" said Herman and stroked Naira's head as Naira hugged him. Long Naira enjoyed the embrace of affection, her eyes wet again considering her former behavior that often denied the parents. He was sorry, very sorry.

"Who? How you crying, honey? You why?" herman asked, wiping away Naira's tears.

"Naira misses Papa with Mama. Sorry Naira, huh?" said Naira while sobbing. In his heart he was truly sorry, sorry for the mistakes he had made to his parents.

Marlin and Herman just smiled in response to Naira's words. Then kiss Naira's forehead in turn.

The family regrouped. However, with a different atmosphere.

Naira now no longer belonged to them, but it was entirely Rifky's. Which men are their own choices.
