Not Just a Milk Mother

Chapter 102

"Let me marry Allura," asked Mr. Okta suddenly. One thing he wanted, which was to become a marriage guardian for his granddaughter in place of the deceased child.

The room was suddenly silent for a moment after Mr. Okta made his wish. Both Arzan, Allura and Mother Ani were still trying to digest the middle-aged man's request.

"Ma–what's Grandpa mean?" asked Arzan after a moment of silence.

"Marry Allura, son. Grandfather is sure you can take care of him," replied Mr. Okta in a soft voice.

"But, Kek–"

"Just think, son. Mom agreed to Allura's Grandpa's request" Ani's mother stopped Arzan's words. "Lura, do you mind?" This time the question was raised for Allura.

Allura was speechless as Mother Ani asked her, the girl stared one by one at her family members who were there. In his heart, Allura felt a little sad and confused. Not that she didn't want to marry Arzan, but she wanted to marry naturally, not forced to like this.

Mr. Okta glanced at the granddaughter who was still flinching beside him, he knew that Allura might not approve of his wish.

"If you feel any objection, there's no need to force yourself, Lura. My grandfather only wanted to replace your Papa's obligation as a marriage guardian. But, if you're not ready, it's okay ...," said Mr. Okta. "Just ... Grandpa apologizes for maybe I won't be at your wedding later" she said.

Allura shook his head slowly, trying to deny the grandfather's words. "No, Cake. Grandpa don't talk like that. Lura ... Lura is willing to follow Grandpa's wishes. But, after this ... Grandpa should be back to health."

Mr. Okta only smiled faintly when he heard Allura's reply. He could not promise anything in the future because he was already very weak at the moment.

Oh my God .. Give me a minute .... I just wanted to make sure my grandson would live safely and be with the right people, Mr. Okta's inner self while holding back his chest that was beginning to hurt again.

"Allura, do you really accept this marriage? Don't let you regret it." Ani's mother looked closely at her daughter. As a mother and a woman, of course she felt sad. How much and how heavy the ordeal of Allura, until now even his daughter had to do a wedding suddenly, no dress or reception.

"It's okay, Mom. I sincerely followed Grandfather's wishes," Allura replied with a faint smile at her mother. It was impossible for him to refuse the grandfather's last wish right before he left.

"alright. Son Arzan, please contact your parents so that they come here, as well as the ruler to marry you," ordered Mother Ani who was immediately embraced by Arzan.

The man then asked his assistant to find a ruler to marry them off. Afterwards, Arzan immediately contacted his parents at home and asked them to come to the hospital. In fact, Arzan also asked Lady Fika to bring a jewelry set belonging to her late Grandmother Arzan who was in her room. Arzan has not told about the impromptu marriage he will have with Allura to his parents.

After contacting his family, Arzan asked his other assistants to bring Allura a suitable Muslim dress to wear at the wedding.

Shortly after ruling Edwin, came the ruler with one of Edwin's men. In fact, the person who came with the ruler brought a paper bag containing Arzan's order.

"Master, I brought you your order. Mr. Edwin himself is still in the jewelry store" the young man reported.

"alright. Thank ye. Give the package to Allura, let her wear it."

The young man nodded and invited the pak penghulu to sit down to rest. Arzan also had time to greet the middle-aged man. After that, Arzan came out to wait for the arrival of his parents.

Moments later, Mrs Fika and Mr Anderson arrived at the hospital, but they did not bring any stars for fear that the baby would be unsafe to be there.

Arriving upstairs, Lady Fika and Mr. Anderson immediately approached her son who was standing outside Mr. Okta's ward.

"Zan, what's going on? Why did you suddenly tell us to come here with these jewels?" ask Lady Fika to the child.

Both Madam Fika and Mr. Anderson were both shocked upon hearing their son's reply.

"What's? How can it be like that, Zan? Didn't you say that Mr. Okta's health is better than before? Then, why did it drop again now?" This time the question came from Mr. Anderson.

"It's a long story, Pa. I promise I'll tell you everything. But ... after this wedding is over," replied Arzan quickly.

"alright. This is the set of jewels you asked for, Zan." Lady Fika also gave a red velvet box containing a complete set of jewelry belonging to her late mother-in-law.

"Thank you, Ma."

Arzan intends to give a set of jewelry as a wedding gift to Allura, while for his own dowry, he had asked Edwin to pick it up at one of the stores where his mother bought her jewelry.

"That's it. Is everything ready?" ask Mr. Anderson before they enter Mr. Okta's ward.

"Already, Pa."

Mr. Anderson and Mrs Fika also entered followed by Arzan behind them. Inside there are already several people gathered including the ruler who will marry Arzan and Allura. Allura himself had changed clothes with the robe brought by Edwin earlier.

"Has everyone gathered?" ask the gentleman who is sitting next to Mr. Okta's gurney.

"Already, sir."

Mr. Okta's room suddenly became the wedding venue of Allura and Arzan. No decoration or guarantee, not even decorations, really a sudden event.

Allura sat beside Mother Ani and Madam Fika, feeling so nervous. Arzan himself is no less nervous, even though this is a second marriage for him, but still it feels different. Especially this time he will marry the girl he loves.

"Allura, are you okay?" ani's mother asked when she saw Allura wiping her tears.

"I'm .. I'm just sad to see Grandpa like that, Ma," Allura replied.

"It has. Don't worry about your Grandpa. Believe me, he must be strong to hold it," said Mrs Fika to her prospective daughter-in-law.

Allura responded to her prospective-in-law's speech with a faint nod.

The sacred event began, there were several nurses who participated in witnessing the impromptu ijab qobul procession. Slowly, the ruler read out the bismillah and asked Arzan to shake Mr. Okta's hand. Sentence after sentence sacred was quite smooth from the lips of the widower of one child. Until shortly afterwards, the people in the room also said the word 'Sah' simultaneously.

Allura also greeted Arzan who has now officially become her husband. Just last week, Arzan proposed to her in the car, but now she's suddenly a husband.

"Alhamdulillah. Nak Arzan and Nak Allura are now husband and wife. But, your marriage is still serial, please immediately register your marriage to the religious court to get the complete letters" said the ruler.

"Good, Sir. I understand," replied Arzan

Shortly after the completion of the qobul ijab, suddenly the atmosphere again tense because the heart detector installed on Mr. Okta's body rang loudly. The doctors and nurses moved quickly to check on her. But after a while, Doctor Nandi could only sigh heavily.

"Innalilahi Wa Inna ilaihi Raji'un."
