My Husband's Wedding

Rejected

Nayla stepped away towards the bathroom. Wash the body with running water that makes his heart calm. The smell of soap burst into her room as Nayla came out of the bathroom.

The yellow-colored gamis he uses today. His white skin makes himself look more radiant when wearing this robe.

Nayla smiled looking at herself in the mirror that was already neat using her matching colored robe and hijab . His footsteps were now fixed on the porch of the house, where there was a man he had always dreamed of and was always there for him.

"Assalamualaikum" said Nayla slowly.

"Waalaikumsalam" answered Zidan, Hamdi and Siska in unison.

Zidan's eyes did not blink when he saw the dazzling Nayla standing before him.

"Masyaallah is very beautiful Ms Nay" said Siska amazed.

"Alhamdulillah"

"Yes very pretty you are Nay" Zidan got up and started looking deeply into Nayla's eyes.

"Ekhem! "

Asiyah's mother's voice suddenly made Zidan sit back in his chair. He knew that this time his eyes could no longer hold the eye of the charming Nayla.

"Mom are there any side dishes in the refrigerator? Nayla wants to cook for our dinner today"

"Astagfirullah mom forgot Nay, the food stock in the refrigerator is up. Now can you go first to the front stall and buy some eggs and instant noodles for a kid's dinner. Buy it for Hamdi, Siska and Zidan!"

Nayla nodded her head in understanding. But when Nayla was about to go into the house with the money, Zidan intercepted her and immediately ran towards the trunk of her car.

"Mom, Nay. This time you will not cook. I forgot I didn't tell you guys, that I brought a rice box for the kids' dinner at the change and for us. And for the stock of food in the refrigerator, Mother also do not worry I will tell people to buy all the groceries for a week"

"Don't be like that, son! shy mom. Nak Zidan doesn't bother me like this. Let Nayla's mom go shopping on her own. This is the obligation of the mother to provide the needs and needs of the child to be replaced"

"No papa ma'am, Zidan is sincere. Itung itung I give some of my property to the children here. It is also my duty to help orphans in need of food"

"Thank you so much, son, for helping mom and Nayla. May you and your family always be in the protection of God and all your dreams come true quickly"

Aisyah's mother held Zidan's hand while saying a word of encouragement. Nayla who was also moved by Zidan's kindness could only look in admiration at the kind man before her.

"Amiin "

*****

Dinner time has arrived. Children happily receive parcels containing rice boxes that are one by one divided by Zidan and Siska.

"Imacute Om Zidan, Aunt Siska" said the children in unison.

"Om Hamdi is not called" whined Hamdi annoyed while pura pura crying.

Zidan patted his best friend's shoulder and smiled at Aisyah's mother. Aisyah's mother also winked at the child's child to say thank you also to Hamdi.

"Imacute also Om Hamdi" shouted the child while laughing to see Hamdi who began to act.

Nayla smiles at the child who is always cheerful and laughs while being with Zidan. Nayla understood that now Zidan is one source of happiness for them. Until the bottom of his heart he had established his heart, that he would choose Zidan as his future priest.

All the children began to bow their heads and raise their hands in prayer. The meal prayer this time led by Zidan was very solemn. Until the time the prayer was over, the children finally began to feed rice and side dishes into their mouths.

Aisyah's mother was very moved to see the orphaned children in front of her now often eat delicious food that Zidan always brought. Although there are so many profosal that some people ask for in the name of the orphanage Mother Aisyah, but the donation money is right Aisyah Mother is not able to meet the needs of children in the orphanage whose number of children and their needs are very large. From the start of eating, as well as the cost of his school. For sure Ibu Aisyah always sincerely gives the best for them and is also always grateful for the money she gets from people who organize fundraising from donors.

Although many people who just mengada ngada in the name of the orphanage just to get money from benevolent donors, for their personal interests. Because Aisyah's mother was once deceived by some people who took the name of her orphanage and opened a fundraiser for orphans in her place on social media, which then turned out the money obtained from the donor was even taken away and there was not a single amount of funds that he got for children.

What is clear, Ms. Aisyah has also filed the case to be investigated so that the person gets the punishment and the child is awaited to get justice. But until now the person has not been caught and the case he had previously submitted was never fully investigated.

*****

Adzan magrib has reverberated. Currently Hamdi, Siska, Ibu Aisyah and Nayla are preparing to go to the mosque to perform congregational magrib prayers. Siska who walked flanked by Nayla and Aisyah's mother was very happy when the baby in her stomach continued to feel moving.

"Mbak Nay, Miss Ayesha. Try to hold my stomach moving, my baby is very happy to go to the mosque" said Siska happy.

Nayla and Aisha's mother immediately grabbed Siska's belly, and sure enough, the baby inside Siska's belly was very active kicking and moving around inside.

"Alhamdulillah your baby may be happy to be invited to go to the mosque. Hopefully your son will become a sholeh child yes Sis. Amiins"

"Madam mbak"

Hamdi who was listening to the conversation between Siska and Nayla started walking and confronted Siska. Until the moment he will try to hold Siska's stomach, immediately after that Aisyah's mother hit Hamdi's hand with a mucous bag that Mother Aisyah held quite hard.

"Can't hold hold hold on, son! mukhrim"

"I forgot ma'am" said Hamdi, laughing.

Zidan approached Hamdi and began to whisper in his ear.

"Your train is Ham!"

*****

The night is moving. Siska, Zidan and Hamdi began to leave because the condition of Siska who was pregnant was not good if it continued to be exposed to the night wind.

"Mother Aisyah, Nayla, we're going home first it's night."

"Yes son, pity Siska who is pregnant if she has to go home last night. Be careful in the way, send greetings to your mother. When when to play here yes" said Ms. Aisyah while smiling.

"Yes mom, I'll tell you. Thank you for today ma'am, Ms. Nay. Siska was very happy today. We say yes, Waasalamualaikum"

Siska walked towards Aisyah's mother and Nayla then hugged and kissed the back of her former sister-in-law's hand which she now considers her own sister. No exception Aisyah Mother, who now also has Siska considered as her own mother.

Zidan and Hamdi began to rise from their seats and began to say goodbye to Mother Aisha. Until the moment the three started waving from inside the car, Aisyah's mother grabbed Nayla's shoulders and smiled at them.

Today is a very meaningful birthday in the life of Nayla because she can feel the happiness of people who sincerely love her and very sincerely provide happiness for her.

"Mom, Nayla has decided that Nayla will choose Zidan as Nayla's life partner" Pipi Nayla met red with her shame when she said that to Ms. Aisyah.

"Alhamdulillah Nay's. Have you chosen Zidan as your husband?"

"Yes ma'am, Nayla is sure" replied Nayla lowered her head.

"Then you will pray Istikharah tonight. Ask God for guidance on the steadiness of your heart that has chosen Zidan as your future priest"

"Yes ma'am, Nayla will"

Aisyah's mother approached her daughter. Hugged Nayla's body tightly while starting to kiss her daughter's forehead who is now getting older with her thoughts.

At midnight, Nayla awoke and performed the Istikharah circumcision prayer asking God for guidance on her choice of choosing Zidan as her companion. He gathered and prayed to the creator of the universe for guidance on his decision to choose Zidan.

The snacks and mucenas that Nayla wears are now neatly folded and put back into the closet. Now he began to lay his body on a simple soft mattress and began to raise his hands and pray that God would always keep him in his beautiful dreams.

...Bismilbornrahmanirrahim's...

...بِسْمِكَ اللّهُمَّ اَحْيَا وَ بِسْمِكَ اَمُوْتُ...

...“Bismika Allahumma ahyaa wa bismika amuut.”...

...Meaning: “By Your name O God I live, and by Your name I die.” (CHR. Bukhari and Muslim)....

His eyes began to fall asleep until Nayla finally entered into a beautiful dream.

****

The next morning, as usual, Nayla said goodbye to Mother Aisyah and kissed the back of her mother's hand with reverence.

"Mom, Nayla said yes. Assalamualaiku"

"Waalaikumsalam Nay, heart of heart"

Nayla smiles sweetly at her mother and rushes her motorcycle to the school where she teaches. This time the streets were a little slow so it did not take much time, Nayla finally arrived at the school yard.

Nayla walks into the office and finds Asti standing between the teachers and the headmaster.

"Assalamualaikum" said Nayla suddenly made the teachers look at her.

"Because of you I must be punished for being dismissed while teaching Nay!" asti's shout made Nayla startled for a moment.

"Ma..you mean what?"

"Don't be so innocent! I thought you were good Nay. It turns out you're rotten !"

Amar who was furious saw Asti, then approached his collar.

"You talk, Miss Asti! this is the school environment, lest the parents of the students know of your outrageous behavior!"

"oh so you also belain him Mar?! I thought you were gonna defend me. All this because of this great woman! you must slander me for taking your trash gift!"

"I'm sorry, dear Miss Asti! all this time I've been silent about all the talk that comes out of your mouth! I never slandered you. It is precisely you yourself who make mistakes but do not want to admit. Is that how bad you are, Mom? to not want to admit the mistakes that have been made and even reverse the facts" answered Nayla furious.

The headmaster's mother started walking towards Asti and started to stand beside Nayla.

"Bu Asti, did you forget that our school now has a surveillance camera? the cctv footage showed your unwelcome behavior on a present belonging to Ms. Nayla yesterday. I only give a mild reprimand and sankksi to you, but instead you still do not want to admit wrongdoing even though the evidence is right in front of your eyes! I just want you to reflect on the mistakes you have made by reprimanding you in a closed room so you do not feel ashamed. But your behavior that blur and yell about this problem, it makes you look more wrong and embarrassing"

"You have been deceived by the innocence of the woman before you! You've made me ashamed of Nay!"

"You have embarrassed yourself. I didn't do anything, Ms. As. Why are you being like this?"

"I'm sick of you Nay! before you left this school, I always got compliments from all the teachers and you knew it meant a lot to me. Until I thought of you as my own sister Nay because you were always there for me when failure was against me. And now when you come back here, you're looking for the face and the thirst for praise from everyone. I should've gotten all the presents and surprises that everyone gave you. I never got a welcome from all the teachers and kids when you got back here. I've tried my best to be accepted as a part of this Nay agency, but it's a big zero! they never thought I existed and never praised my achievements for the least you ever existed. With your re-entry into this school environment really makes me happy at first. But when you get what I've been getting, I'm sick of your presence being a role model and being admired by everyone here!"

"You should feel ashamed and introverted Bu Asti. We just admonished mom well and just wanted to know why you did that to Ms. Nayla"

Nayla breathed in violently. Remember when he used to teach with Asti at this school. The laughter they did together. There is not the slightest envy in the heart of Nayla when Asti often get praise from teachers at this school. For Nayla, Asti is a good and smart teacher. To make Nayla motivated to become more active in learning and being smart like Asti.

Finally Asti left, leaving everyone who was staring at him. All the teachers there and the principal's mother realized that after Nayla's presence there, Asti changed a lot.

At 07:00, when the learning begins. Nayla goes by to the classroom where she teaches with a chaotic feeling and feels guilty towards Asti.

Until the bell returns, Nayla accidentally meets with Amar so that he sends an apology from Nayla, because Amar's house is next to Asti's house.

"Sir Amar!"

"Yes Bu Nay"

"Sorry sir, I'd like to send a message to Asti's mother. If you later meet with him, please convey an apology from me because of the consequences of the incident earlier, Bu Asti must stop teaching temporarily"

Amar took a breath and smiled towards Nayla.

"He should be the one apologizing to mom, not the other way around. But yes, I will tell him later. Um by the way, regarding my application last time, is there an answer for Nay?"

Nayla's eyes are perfectly rounded. Because Amar also realized that Nayla would not choose him.

"I'm sorry sir, I can't accept your proposal. Again forgive me" said Nayla.

"I thought so, Mom. Then if you don't accept my proposal, can you accept my friendship"

Nayla raised her face and smiled at Amar.

"Yes of course sir. Since I met you, and you often go to the orphanage, there I have considered my father as my own friend. Thank you sir"

Amar smiled hiding his disappointment in his heart. There was a deep feeling of sadness at her due to the rejection from Nayla. But he realized, the feelings of love and marriage can not be forced. Until finally he had to accept Nayla's decision freely.
