Rainbow At The End of Longing

74. Towards Halal

Tonight Hamza came to our house. As Hamza said yesterday, he will come to see Papa Surya and Mama Wulan to tell him both about Hamzah's plans to apply for Ayesha later and also ask Papa Surya and Mama Wulan's willingness to participate in the application event later too.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Hamzah from the door.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Uh, have you come, Dek?" answer my greetings and ask.

"Yes, Brother. Just now," replied Hamzah who then kissed the back of my right hand.

"Let's go in first, Ham," asked me later.

"Yes, Brother," Hamzah replied again.

I then invited Hamzah to go inside the house and sit on the living room sofa.

"Where are the Clouds, brother?" hamzah asked after sitting on the living room sofa.

"Again Keinan studied in his room. The space is also broken, so Mas Awan and Keinan learn the same waiting Space as well," I replied.

"Oh, that's it, brother," Hamzah replied.

"Yes. Yeah, you sit here first, yeah. Brother call Papa Surya with Mama Wulan first inside," I said later.

"Okay, brother," Hamzah replied.

I then rushed to go to Papa Surya and Mama Wulan's room to call him both. Not long after, me, Papa Surya, and Mama Wulan had arrived in the living room.

"Well, Hamzah?" call Papa Surya as he walks towards Hamzah.

Hamzah then stood up from his seat and immediately kissed the back of his right hand Papa Surya and Mama Wulan alternately.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Om, Aunty," said Hamzah.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Ham," replied Papa Surya and Mama Wulan together.

"Come on, Ham, please sit down again," said Mama Wulan then welcome.

"Yes, Auntie, thank you," Hamzah replied.

Me, Hamzah, Papa Surya, and Mama Wulan then sat together on the living room sofa at this time.

"So, what's up, Ham? Why do you want to meet my Aunt?" ask Papa Surya.

"Thank God, Om and Aunt are happy to hear it, Ham," said Papa Surya.

"Yes, Ham. Finally, you are well established to take your relationship with Ayesha to a more serious level. Aunty also feels happy, Ham," said Mama Wulan also.

"Yes, Om, Auntie, thank you. So, are Om and Aunty willing to take me to Ayesha's house this weekend, Om, Auntie?" ask Hamzah again.

"Sure, Ham. You don't worry. Om and Aunty will come and take you to propose Ayesha," replied Papa Surya.

"Alhamdulillaahafemore. Thank you very much, Om, Auntie" said Hamzah with a happy smile.

"Yes, Ham. Equally," replied Papa Surya while smiling as well.

As Hamzah said yesterday, this weekend our family group came to Ayesha's house to apply for Ayesha officially.

Our group consists of Hamzah, mother, me, Mas Awan, Keinan, Angkasa, Papa Surya, Mama Wulan, Pak Haji Muhsin, Bu Hajjah Maryam, Pak RT, and others, and also three of my mother's neighbors.

Ayesha's extended family welcomed the arrival of our family group. After that, Mr. RT as a representative of our family group then conveyed the intention of our arrival all at night today, namely to propose Ayesha officially.

Hamzah's betrothed was also well received by Ayesha and her entire extended family. Event after event in the framework of a simple proposal was going well and smoothly.

We all smiled happily, feeling very grateful because the application event on this night went well without any obstacles. Hamzah and Ayesha also look very happy at night.

Based on mutual agreement, after the deliberation, it has been decided that the wedding of Hamzah and Ayesha insya Allah will be held in about two months.

And according to Ayesha's request, the wedding will only be held at Ayesha's family's house. A simple garden party that will only be attended by family and relatives only. There is no need for too many invited guests, so the request from Ayesha.

Ayesha says that she does not want a festive wedding, let alone a fancy one. Simply a simple wedding event, but memorable and meaningful in their hearts. And we all agreed to Ayesha's request.

Behind it all, Hamzah knew that Ayesha made such a request because Ayesha did not want to incriminate Hamzah at all. And Hamzah feels very grateful for that. Ayesha always tried to understand Hamzah's situation.

And as Yas and Nadirga said yesterday, Ayesha's family did not want to burden Hamzah and his family at all. They do not demand lavish gifts let alone a festive wedding party. The important thing is that Hamzah and Ayesha can get married officially and eventually legally become a husband and wife. That was enough for all of them.

But it had been from the beginning as well, from a long time before, Hamzah and Ayesha had also agreed that if the two of them would really be paired and could get to the stage of marriage, he said, so the two of them will only hold a simple wedding but memorable and meaningful for them.

So indeed from the beginning they both had planned not to hold a festive wedding reception party. And we all also strongly approve and support the wishes of the bride and groom.

We all also pray that the wedding between Hamzah and Ayesha will, on the appointed H day, run well and smoothly. And there is no obstacle that anything will happen.
