Prison of Love

Sacred Pledge

94

The doctor comes along with two nurses, Andy following behind them. I immediately stood up as they came, trying to get close so I could hear the doctor's words.

“Mas Hengky, how is he feeling now? Is it much better?” ask the doctor with a friendly smile.

Hengky nodded, “Today is my wedding day, Doc. I should be fine.”

“There's no reason you don't feel okay. From the CT Scan results there is also no problem, kok.”

After the doctor's sentence was finished coming out of his lips, it felt like a weight of ten kilograms just disappeared from my shoulders, relieved once. Just one sentence and able to change the atmosphere of the room. The faces of everyone in the room instantly brightened. Mami even to the point of crying while hugging Hengky,

“Then why should my child keep using oxygen hose, doc?” Ask Mami while sobbing.

Doctor patted Hengky's shoulder, “How? Your chest still feels tight? Still having trouble breathing?”

Hengky shook his head, “Tiba suddenly I feel fine already, Doc.”

“Oh yes clearlys.. This is your future wife here.”.

The doctor's words made the sound of laughter rang out to fill the room.

Hengky smiled widely, “Doctor wants to be one of our wedding witnesses?”

The half-haired male doctor was a little surprised as he rewinded his head but quickly laughed while nodding in agreement.

“Good, what wedding can we direct now, Mr Dani?” ask Abah excitedly.

Mr. Dani nodded, he advanced forward. He quickly ordered some instructions to the family and asked me to sit next to Abah.

“Nak Hengky, you brought the dowry?”

Hengky's face suddenly turned pale, he spontaneously turned towards Andy.

Seeing all the gazes in his direction made Andy confused, “Eh, dowry is in your car that was accident earlier. And it was held the same Om Frans.”

“Om Frans where?!” ask Papi in panic.

“Return to hotel.. earlier Mami who told other families waiting while at hotel.”.

“Gosh...” Ogre Papi's voice. He was busy getting his phone out, calling his family.

Mr. Dani smiled, “Let's just say, what does Hengky bring at the moment?”

Hengky was silent for a moment, but then he gave the code to Andy to get his small bag on the table.

Andy hand over little bag Hengky, “You want me to help you?”

“Please get me the riyals in my wallet, Kak.”

Andy reached into Hengky's wallet and found riyal money and then handed it to Hengky, “It could fit..”.

Hengky smiled, “Wear this is not papa right, sir?”

Mr Dani nodded, “Uang riyal number 2,022 huh?”

Without replying with words, Hengky immediately nodded.

Unknowingly I was holding Mom's hand, this marriage process, was far more sacred than I imagined. It was never imagined that I would get married in a hospital with a husband-to-be wearing an infusion hose.

As everyone nodded, my heartbeat grew more and more hunting.

Mr. Dani looked at Hengky, he smiled kindly and handed his hand to be greeted by Hengky.

Hengky quickly welcomed Mr. Dani's hand. His face looked tense but the hue of his face was extremely excited.

After Mr. Dani guided me and Hengky alternately uttered the sentence of shahadain, he firmly uttered the sentence that made my chest rumble,

“Brother of Hengky Widiyanto bin Edward Kusuma Widiyanto, I marry you to Naya Khairunnisa bint Tabrani Khalid with a riyal dowry of 2,022 paid in cash!”

“I received the marriage and marriage of Naya Khairunnisa bint Tabrani Khalid with the dowry CASH!”

------------------------------------------------

“Dok, this infusion hose is removable?”

“Why? Can't wait to go home with your wife?” the Doctor asked with a laugh teasing Hengky, also greeted by a joking laugh from another brother.

Hengky smiled, “I want to invite my wife to pray two raka’at for a moment.”.

I stared at Hengky full day, “If it is not strong later, Ky..”.

“Loh, why is the husband and wife still calling the name anyway?” the loud voice of Uwak so easily made my face glow red.

“Iya... Call Abang, or Darling.” exclaimed cousin Hengky who is also in the room.

“Ah, i...” My lips are unable to get the words out. The rapid change of mood in a short period of time makes me still not able to really believe that I have been legally the wife of Hengky Widiyanto.

“We go to the Mosque briefly yuk, Darling.”.

The sentence Hengky saved me. When our gazes met, I had to immediately lower my face back because somehow it was as red as what my face was at the moment.

I'm shy, I'm happy, I'm happy and I. ah, I'm really embarrassed.

And as the cheers of the voices of the brothers teased us, Hengky came back to save me by extending his hand, “Yuk us to the mosque, dear.”.

-------------------------

You want to know how I feel right now?

I feel like I'm having a good dream. Very lovely. I dreamt that Hengky and I were officially married and now I hear her voice pleading with Him for the blessing of our marriage. With the position of Hengky in front of me, as the priest of my prayers, the priest of my life.

The visuals I saw looked so beautiful that I felt that I was dreaming.

Now that my heaven is in his hands, my heaven is in his heart, my heaven is in his strands of prayer.

When I heard her sobs while praying for our wedding, I couldn't help but shed tears. Eight years of knowing him, this is the most heartfelt crying voice I have ever heard from a man who even within us does not flow the same source of blood.

God gathers our hearts, insinuating a sense of love and affection and also a love that is slowly getting deep-rooted in our hearts. it gave us trials that strengthened our resolve and now God has fulfilled His promise to those who will be patient in His trials.

When he finished’a, Hengky went astray and then he approached me, put his left hand on the crown of my head and berto’a, he said,

“Yes Allah I ask Thee for his goodness and the good Thou hast created upon him and I take refuge in Thee from his ugliness and what Thou hast created upon him.”

After saying do’a, Hengky raised my face with his hands, looked into my eyes then smiled gently, “Assalamualaikum, my wife. Ready to row a boat with me?”
