My husband, my Beloved (Revised)

Rain's Welcome

*Well the welcome from the principal is also the welcome from the student representative we just listened to. Furthermore, I beg everyone to be attentive together We will know the students with the highest grades this year and will automatically get a scholarship directly from Mr. Rakha as a sign of appreciation.

For that let's welcome, Mr. Headmaster to return to the stage to tell us all who became the highest scorer this year*.

After the MC finishes his talk Rain whispers to Ega.

"Sir Rakha didn't come?"

"There are people who talk about it again, don't look at prospective husbands. Potang-about a handsome candidate." said Ega who got a raw bogem from Rain. Ega just chuckled and rubbed his shoulder that Rain had attacked.

Then the Headmaster went up on stage. Again.

I actually cape up and down. (while chuckling, his fat body shook). Alright, no need to long I will tell who the students who this year get the highest grades while getting scholarships directly from the owner of the foundation. (breath). I proudly call Rain Khadija daughter of Ms. Yana Zeinithari as the highest-rated student of the year.

Boisterous applause and a simple whistle from the students and invited guests made Mother immediately hug Rain and kiss Rain's head repeatedly. Rain tried to hold back his 'not now, please' inner cry.

"Thank you, kid. I'm proud of you." Said Mother peeping Rain.

Rain outlined his embrace as he walked towards the stage. His heart was filled with happiness. Three years of schooling without ever excelling in any field and standing out in any respect.

All this time only Mr. Darus knew him well. Only Mr. Darus never mispronounced his name.

Rain's body shook violently. From that front he swept his eyes across all directions. His gaze stopped on Mother's figure and of course Ega who wore a sweet smile and proud gaze.

Assallamoallaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh (the audience answers greetings). What I respect is the principal, the Teacher Council, the staff and the invited guests and my loved ones. (stop, hold back tears).

Thank you very deeply for my beloved mother. Mother's everything for Rain. Caring for and guarding Rain until he was able to stand before the great people of today.

Rain can't repay all of Mom's kindness to Rain. Thanks, Mum. There would be no Rain today if there were no do'a and effort. Rain dear Mother. Rain dedicate this to Ibu*.

A boisterous applause and a simple whistle. Everyone was moved by Rain's short speech. Mother was already crying in Ega's arms which gently rubbed her back.

Alright. Rain, can you be the welcome representative of the XII class students say a word for all of us. (MC spoke again, Raib nodded and spoke again).

All right, just be brief. I once*again*thank you to Mr. Principal who looks handsome once today, Sir. (Laughter).

*Also for all the councils of Teachers who today are like kings and queens. We will not be able to repay you all, only God can repay you.

Emm, especially for Mr. Darus, I love You Pak (I love you too, Rain). I also represent friends to thank all parents for all their love, do'a and efforts so that we can take all of us to the graduation gate.

This is not the end, but it is the beginning where we will begin to seek our identity and pursue our ideals. I myself aspire to be a Teacher and may We together achieve our own ideals.

Maybe after graduation already anyone knows what university and faculty to go to? or still looking for a university? or even someone who wants to get married* (Look gently Ega and then smile together).

Whatever it is, may our intentions be given ease and smoothness. I'm doing this, because I'm starting to not know what to say. Success for all of us.

Applause and whistling back. Rain immediately moved. However, his steps came to a halt as someone shouted "Wait".
