April sat to the left of Andi. In front of April there were witnesses from Andi's side.
" Well, we can start now on the marriage contract procession." Said Mr. Khoirul as a ruler who is embraced by all.
Pak Penghulu opened the marriage contract procession by reading the basmalah first. Then continue to read the do'a to be given ceremony during the marriage contract.
Afterwards, Pak Ustad chanted the holy verse of the Qur'an with eloquence and a melodious voice.
Continued with a welcome from the men. After that, the women also did a greeting as an acceptance that could be represented by the elders of their respective families.
Then followed by the delivery of the wedding sermon, usually directly delivered by the ruler of KUA or other ustadz who are competent in the field of marriage. This sermon is done as a provision as well as a reminder for the bride-to-be to maintain the integrity of the marriage.
After the completion of the kutbah, now is the time to do the kabul ijab.Kabul is the peak session of the arrangement of the marriage contract event, where the bride's guardian will hand over his responsibilities to the prospective bridegroom.
This session is the most sacred moment, because the bride's guardian releases her daughter to marry.
When going to enter the kabul ijab process, the two brides accompanied by their guardians are directed to sit in front of the qabul ijab table.
The guard and the witnesses are presented in the process. Penghulu is obliged to lead the way of implementation.
"Brother Andi Pratama, are you willing to marry the sister of Aprilia Calista without any coercion?" Asked Pak Khoirul looking at Andi.
" I'm willing." Answer Andi steady.
Then Mr. Khoirul turned to look at April.
" Sister Aprilia Calista, are you willing to marry Andi Pratama's brother without any coercion?" Mr. Khoirul asked a similar question.
" Sa-I'm ready." Answer April a little.
Andi spontaneously turned his head, his inner voice menggelos heard the words of April who seemed hesitant.
" Well..."
" Who is the witness on the male side?" Ask Mr. penghulu.
" My brother and I." Said Ridwan's father volunteering himself and Ardi.
Mr. Khoirul asked for ktp belonging to Father Ridwan and Ardi to be recorded.
" Well..."Said Mr. Khoirul.
" Who is the guardian of the bride?" Ask Mr. Khoirul.
Mr. Hadi who sat by the side quietly, his heart did not feel good to answer how.Pak Khoirul was frowning because he did not get an answer.
He approached and spoke slowly.
" I'm the adoptive father of April. Mr. April is unknown whereabouts. April's mother died 11 years ago." Said the Father explaining the true situation to Pak Khoirul as the ruler.
April silently looked down sad, as much as she could hold back her tears.
Pak Khoirul immediately understood the situation, he immediately took action.
" Did April have a brother?" Ask penghulu.
" April's only child sir." Answer Mr. Hadi.
" Are there any brothers on Mom's side?"
" No sir, his mother's brother April's woman, that's my wife." replied the Father again.
" Well, 'cause there's no brother or uncle or om. So the marriage guardian sister of April was handed over to me as the judge. " Distort Pak Khoirul.
" Is Mr Hadi as April's adoptive parents pleased?" Ask Khoirul.
" I as the adoptive Father of April leave the responsibility as a marriage guardian to you." Say Father.
" Alright... It's all clear, let's start." Said Mr. Khoirul.
Before April came, Andi and Pak Khoirul had made a deal.
The agreement is that the marriage contract will be held in Indonesian. And Mr. Khoirul told. If after the guardian removes the ijab qobul, then bend Andi's hand. Then it is a sign if Andi must directly answer the qobul.
Pak Khoirul's right hand shook Andi's. His left hand holds the mic.
" Bismillahirahmanirahim... By God's permission, I as the judge will marry Andi's brother to April's sister."
" I married Andi Pratama bin Ridwan and his sister Aprilia Calista. With a dowry a set of prayer tools and 13 grams of gold in cash." Said Mr. Khoirul loudly.
Mr. Khoirul stifled his handshake with Andi. A sign that Andi should speak immediately.
"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Sister Aprilia Calista bint Hadi with a set of prayer tools in paid cashi..." Andi said loudly.
Andi breathed a sigh of relief after successfully making a holy promise in front of many people.
Andi immediately stiffened.
Did I say it wrong? Inner Andi ketar-ketir.
" W-is it wrong sir?" Ask Andi scared.
" You listed Bint Hadi earlier. Here April has no binti.., because it is unknown who her parents are." Obviously Mr. Khoirul.
Andi immediately cursed himself yanh wrongly said. Andi became unwell in April and Mr. Hadi.
" I-I'm sorry sir." Andi Sesal.
Andi glanced at April who had just been silent. Apeil looked down more often, sometimes April stared blankly straight ahead.
" It's okay, let's repeat it again."
" Bismillahmannirrahim's... I married and married brother Andi Pratama bin Ridwan to sister Aprilia Calista. With dowry a set of prayer tools and gold weighing 13 grams in cashi.."
" I Accept the marriage and the marriage of Aprilia Calista's sister with the dowry paid tun-?"
"Stoopp...." Shouted someone who cut off Andi's words.
It was seen that the middle-aged man ran closer towards where the ijab qobul took place.
All eyes looked at a man who disturbed the sacred event.Not a few who looked with a dislike gaze.
April, Andi, Father and the others turned to the source of the voice.
" Th-wait..." Speak to the man with a broken breath.
" You who? Why interfere with my son's wedding." Ask me you don't like it.
" Sayaa... Huhhhhhh." The man looked to catch his breath first.
" I'm the biological father of April." Said the man with a spell after his breath returned to normal.
Suddenly everyone turned their backs to hear the statement of a foreign man who was now standing before them.
" You don't joke around in situations like this." Jerking Father not happy.
" What I say is no joke." Strictly the man.
" What is the evidence of your words." Ask Father.
The man revealed a map containing several sheets of paper.
You read the paper, after which your eyes widened in disbelief.
" W-how is it possible..." Stuttering Father looked at the foreign Man with his hands trembling.
April who saw the response of the Father as it was immediately seized the paper that is still held by the Father.
Instantly his tears could not be contained. April cried to see the reality that He now had. His hands trembled shut his mouth in disbelief.
April shook her head quickly," Tidaakk... This can't be..." April lirih.
The document held by April is a DNA test result. In the document are listed the name of April and the foreign man. The document states that 98% of DNA test results are matched.
"Yes Nakk... It's me, your birth father." The foreign man said softly.
" d-ayahh..." Isaac April. April doesn't believe she can meet her real father on her wedding day.
" No... No way, this-this must be a fake." Said Mr. Hadi flat.
