Melody Love Aqila

Chapter 52 Marriage

"Tok..tok" the door was knocked from the outside.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh" said an old man, he came with three other people.

"Wa' alaykumussalam warahmatullahi wabarokatuh, please enter" said Bagus Anugerah

Four old men entered the room, two of them charismatic scholars whose breadth of knowledge has been recognized by the community, while the other two people look like regional officials.

"Please start their wedding" said Bagus Anugerah.

Gamal and Shinta were surprised, they glanced at each other, they did not expect the wedding to take place so soon, they felt not ready but they did not have the courage to refute it.

The wedding ceremony was done simply, the pronunciation of ijab kabul went smoothly. Gamal listened to the advice given to him carefully, he did not want his houseboat to sink a second time. After the task was completed, the four community leaders said goodbye and left.

Gamal did not expect his love for Shinta to be bound by the sacred bond of marriage, he did not deny his heart filled with happiness, he kissed Shinta's forehead with gentleness, she kissed Shinta with gentleness, tahmid's speech slid from his mouth over and over again.

"Shinta, there is nothing happier for me than this moment, when God has united our relationship, a relationship of love that is lawful and worth worshiping. After so many years my soul felt barren, like a traveler stranded in the desert craving a drop of loving water" whispered Gamal.

"Astaghfirullah" said Shinta, Shinta's words were slow but quite surprising to Gamal.

"What's Shinta?" gamal asked, his face implying worry.

"I forgot someone" Shinta said, her facial expression was difficult to describe.

"Who is he?" gamal asked, the look on his face showing his dislike.

"Our children, I have left them for a long time" Shinta said, bowing her head, in fact, Anwar was worried but she was forced to lie to keep her husband feeling.

"Shinta, you don't have to worry. I'll take them to our house" said Gamal, leaving the room but moments later he returned.

"I will miss you" Gamal said as he hugged Shinta, then ran away from the room

Shinta could not help but laugh, she did not expect Gamal who had been known to be very mature turned out to be childish.

Shinta noticed her father-in-law who had been asleep since when, she kissed the hand of Bagus Anugerah and tidied up her blanket.

Shinta goes to find Anwar in his room, but the room is empty. A young, oval-faced nurse approached Shinta.

"Are you Shinta?" ask the nurse

"That's right" Shinta said

"Mr Anwar is gone, he left this letter for you" the nurse said

Shinta sat on the chair, she unfolded the letter from Anwar slowly, her feelings raging erratically, there was a feeling of guilt mounting inside her chest, she said, he read the contents of the letter slowly as if he did not want a single letter to be passed.

The assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh

Shinta, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. You don't have to feel guilty about what happened to me. May the Khalik answer my prayers, may I be pleased with His decision

Legitimate your heart, carry out the role of the wife according to what is commanded by Him, may your family be a family that is sure mawadah warahmah.

Shinta's tears wet the white paper she was holding, squeezing the letter she was holding and dumping it in the trash.
