Weddings

Finally today is Randa and Xena's wedding day. Looks beautiful Xena with a white shar'i robe and a small crown on her head. Qoilila held the princess' hand to where Randa was sitting in front of the pengulu pack and Hilman, Xena's father.

While Arumi was sitting not far from Randa with a white dress and black hijab on her head. The girl was quite a henchman without whining as usual when she saw Randa's whereabouts.

"I accept the marriage and marriage of Aqila Xena bint Hilman Amanah with the dowry paid in cash!!" randa shook Hilman's hand with a slight tremble. Honestly, it feels like a dream that Randa went through. He did not expect to marry the love of his heart that he had long wanted.

"How are the witnesses?"

"Well!!!"

"Good boy, may this be your last marriage, son. Be a wife who is obedient to the husband of the child. May you be happy" said Qailila with haru. The hope is only one, the child is happy and this marriage becomes the last marriage for his son.

"Aamiin, thank you Mother for praying" Xena replied with a sweet smile. His hope is also the same with the mother, this is the last marriage for him.

"Goodbye to your marriage and to Randa. I hope with this marriage you will feel the name happy without pain. I hope that your household will last until death separates without any serious problems coming. His name is also household is not only about happy and there will be small pebbles that come closer. Go through it together, and finish it with God willing your household will last."

"Aamiin thank you Dad,"

Hilman nodded at him. "Dad hopes you will make your daughter happy, Randa. Accept every flaw that the daughter, father, has. And to be the best priest for the daughter and also the grandson of the father."

"God willing, I will be a good husband and father to my wife and child, Dad. I promise to make both Xena and Arumi as happy as I can. You don't have to worry about it because without you even saying it I would have done it." Randa said with confidence.

"Father will hold your words Ran," Randa nodded her head steadily.

Randa nodded her head. "Dear, Baba will sleep at Uti's house tonight" replied Randa, kissing Arumi's chubby cheek.

"Arumi can no longer call Om but call him Baba. Does Arumi understand baba?" asked Randa looking at the little girl.

"Alright Baba," he replied timidly.

*****

Xena and Randa are in their bridal room. The room has been decorated in such a beautiful way. With a sprinkling of roses in the form of two images of hearts that blend together.

"Umma, Baba can arum come in?" Atiku loosened his head.

"May, come in, dear" replied Randa with a smile.

Arumi happily stepped towards Xena and Randa who were now sitting on the lip of the bed.

"Baba, Umma tonight Arum wants to sleep here huh? Arum wants to sleep with Baba and Umma like other arum friends. Arum is jealous of those who often tell about their nights with their father and mother." said Arumi with eyes full of twinkle.

"Byeah, Arumi can really sleep with Umma as baba tonight," said Randa.

Honestly, he was compassionate with his daughter who did not feel the affection of a father. Where a child his age is still playing with his father you little girl does not feel at all.

"Really Baba?" Randa nodded her head while displaying her sweet smile.
