Shara looked at her reflection in the mirror, wrapped in an elegant-looking white wedding dress attached to her body.

His feelings are now so mixed, between happy and nervous. Finally, the wedding day arrived. The day that Shara will soon undergo her new profession, which is a wife.

Shara waits for Sakha's arrival and her family in the room, as Shara will be allowed to meet Sakha after the qobul ijab is completed.

"O Allah, spread and ease all my affairs, do not make it difficult for you." Shara berdo.

In the middle room, there had been boisterous people waiting for the arrival of the groom.

House makeup is so charming, a combination of silver and gold decorates the entire room.

On the way to Shara's house, Sakha seemed so nervous. Sometimes he also closed his eyes, trying to keep his breathing.

"Son, what's wrong with you?" ask Salma's mother.

"Ah, it's okay, Mom. I'm just nervous" Sakha replied stammeringly.

Sakha's mother and father smiled, he understood her son's current feelings.

"Much of a privilege, Kha." Sakha's father suggested.

Sakha just nodded, she followed her father's advice and began to take a stand in her heart during the journey.

"*Robbisyrohli shodri, wayassirli amri, wahlul uqdatam mil lisani, yafqohu qouli". 

Meaning:

“Yes my Lord, spread out for me my bosom, and ease for me my business, and remove the rigidity from my tongue, that they may understand my words*”.

When Sakha arrives at Shara's house, she gets out of her car. All the families who delivered him including Bima, are now lined up behind him. Sakha is flanked by her parents, she brings out the look of her face as calmly as possible.

Shara looked at her future husband in the window of her room, the tip of her lips smiling.

Slowly Sakha steps now began to enter Shara's house, seeming a table that will be used to say ijab qobul.

Sakha was accompanied by her father, now sitting in the chair that had been provided. In front of him was sitting firmly Abi of Shara also a ruler.

"Is everything ready?" ask Mr. penghulu.

"Already, Sir. Please just start his ijab qobul," pinta Abi Shara.

The pengulu father nodded, and immediately began the procession of the marriage contract.

"Bismilbornrohmanirrohim, Ananda Sakha Sakti Pratama Bin Bapak Burhan Pratama, I marry and I marry you with Qaishara Kirana Binti Bapak Fadlan with mascawin in the form of a set of prayer tools and twenty-eight grams of gold, cash.” Said Mr. Penghulu straightforwardly while tightening his hand to Sakha.

Sakha took her breath, and began to utter the qobul ijab.

“I received marriage and marriage Qaishara Kirana Binti Mr. Fadlan with the mascawin cash.” Sakha said out loud also a breath.

"How's witness? Right?" ask the witnesses.

"Well," replied the Witnesses.

"Alhamdulillah," said everyone who witnessed the sacred procession, not least Shara who also heard Sakha's loud speech in her room.

“Baarakallahu laka wa baarakaa alaika wa jamaa bainakumaa fii khoir.”

"Congratulations, Sakha Son." Mr. Penghulu shook Sakha's hand.

"Thank you, sir." Sakha greeted with a happy smile.

"Sakha, congratulations. You have become a husband now," said Sakha's father while hugging his son closely followed by Ms. Salma who was also so moved to look at her son.

It was time for the bride to come out of her room, and meet her husband. Sakha was glued to the beauty of his wife, she was so grateful that God had heard her prayer.

Shara stood right in front of her husband, grabbed Sakha's right hand and kissed her husband's back. Sakha immediately touched the crown of the wife's head with his left hand, he recited a prayer to his wife.

“Allahumma inni as'aluka min khoiriha wa khoirimaa jabaltaha 'alaih. Wa a'udzubika min syarrihaa wa syarrimaa jabaltaha 'alaih.”

Sakha began to kiss the woman who has now become his rightful wife, she is so happy as well as Shara.

Sakha wrapped a beautiful ring around her wife's ring finger, and Shara did the same to her husband.

The wedding ceremony has been completed, now the guests and the extended family greet each other to congratulate the newlywed couple.

"Ara, congratulations baby. May your household always be blessed" said Shara's parents.

The atmosphere is so haru, shalawat chants accompany the reception.

"Kha, congratulations. May your household sakinah, mawwadah, warrahmah," said Bima while embracing his best friend.

"Aamiin, thank you. Immediately follow," Sakha teased Bima.

"Wish me to eat it, if you can find a candidate for me, maybe Shara has a friend who is still single" said Bima while chuckling.

They are laughing together, happiness is so felt today.

From a distance, there was a woman who was walking near Sakha and Shara.

They staggered at the familiar woman, as much as Sakha could as Shara showed a friendly look.

"Congratulations to you, may you always be happy." Airin spoke with a trembling voice.

"Thank you for coming, Rin." Sakha said with a stammer.

Shara, who had been bowed, now raised her face when Airin grabbed her hand.

"Congratulations, you're lucky to be Sakha's wife." Airin stared fixedly at Shara's eyes.

"Aamiin, thank you." Shara didn't say much.

Bima tried to melt the awkward atmosphere created between them, he tried to invite Airin to enjoy the dishes provided.

"Rin. We go there, yuk," Bima asked.

Airin just nodded, he walked following Bima's footsteps.

Shara looked at his wife who was now bowed, he did not want to ruin his happy atmosphere with Shara.

"Ra, are you okay?" ask Sakha.

Shara turned to look at her husband's face, instantly nodding her head with a smile.

"God willing, I'm fine."

The reception went very smoothly, until all the events were completed.

Both of Sakha's parents came home, before leaving they hugged their son again.

"We're home" said Sakha's father.

"Why rush? just stay here, "pinta Abi Shara.

"No need, sir. We want to get home soon" replied Sakha's father.

"Sakha, Mom and Dad are coming home, okay?" pamit Pak Burhan to his son.

"Be careful, Dad, Mom," said Sakha.

"Yes, Assalamallaikum."

"Wa'allaikumussalam," answered Sakha as well as Shara.

Now they drive Sakha's parents, until their vehicle leaves Shara's residence.

After dinner, Sakha and Shara return to their room.

"Dek, Mas went to the mosque first, yeah. You also immediately pray isya," said Sakha.

Shara was speechless when she heard the new call Sakha gave them, she still felt awkward.

"Why silence?" ask Sakha softly.

"Eh, it's okay. Yes, after Mas left, I immediately prayed," Shara said trembling.

Sakha smiled at the sweet behavior of his wife, he did not expect now to be this close to Shara.

"Yes, I'll go first. Assalamallaikum" said Sakha while peeping Shara's forehead.

Shara rounded her eyes, and she became nervous because of Sakha.

"Wa'allaikumussalam," Shara replied nervously.

Sakha smiled again he liked his wife's behavior when she was nervous, after which he left his wife who was still in her place.

"Astagfirulloh, why does my cheek feel so hot" Shara said as she touched both of her blushing cheeks.
