The Healer of the Sinner

Nina Conscious

Without saying, Nizam hugged his mother. "Sorry Nizam, Ma. If all this time can not make Mama happy," said Nizam really.

"Your marriage has become an unparalleled happiness for Mama. Mama hope, you and Nina become a couple who mawadah warahmah. And only death separates."

"Amin..," said Arif, Nizam, and Bu Zainiyah simultaneously.

"Mama, my head is dizzy," Nina's voice suddenly sounded, distracting the three people who were not far from the bed. Nina held onto her head which felt heavy. Nina was still unaware of what had just happened.

"Yes, Honey. Don't move much first. Rest." Bu Zainiyah immediately approached Nina who seemed to want to straighten up. However, her dizzy head made her weak and Bu Zainiyah helped Nina lean back with the addition of a pillow she neatly arranged.

"What do you feel, brother-in-law?" tanya Arif pressed her said 'brother-in-law' while smiling thinly full of temptation.

Nina, who was unfamiliar with the voice, tried to meet the face of the owner of the voice standing to the right of her bed. Nina's eyes suddenly puffed up as she stared at Arif's face. The dizziness he felt earlier disappeared from nowhere.

It was not Arif's face that made him shocked, but the figure of the man he knew so well was standing next to Arif with an indecipherable face. "Sir Nizam," exclaimed Nina restrained.

Iris eyes Nina towards Bu Zainiyah, and again meet Arif and Nizam. The eyes asked, what does this mean. After a while, Nina gathered up a few events before she fainted and remembered them all, that today was her wedding day to Bu Zainiyah's son whom she had not known at all.

His mind began to work, it turned out that the son of the Al-gazali family was Nizam. The man who has been very important to his family. So all this time? the one who had proposed and uttered the ijab a few minutes ago was the man who had long occupied the space in his heart.

Nina still couldn't believe everything. He needs an explanation that can convince doubts about his curiosity. "Ma, what is this? Is it true that Nizam is my husband? So, the person you've been referring to as a child is Nizam? But, how can! Doesn't Nizam already have a fiancee?!"

That question only exists in Nina's mind. Because it was impossible for Nina to have such courage to ask something that she thought was so embarrassing. So, Nina could only quietly wait for one of the three people in front of her this explained to her.

"Drink first" Zainiyah took the water on the nightstand and handed it to Nina. With a few sips, the water was already drunk, because it felt like his throat was drying instantly.

"Darling, are you okay?" ask Bu Zainiyah.

"A little dizzy, Ma. What the hell's been going on?" ask Nina carefully. That was all he could say, his lips were too faint to ask something that was still raging in his mind.

"You fell unconscious after the marriage contract was done. It seems like your stomach is empty, so it makes your body limp due to lack of energy. Arif checked you out, and he said there's nothing to worry about. Enough rest, but you have to eat first, honey."

Nina felt very awkward, being in one room with Nizam. Her husband was silent, not a word had come out of his mouth since he was conscious. Arif was just enjoying the awkward state of it with pleasure. Rarely did he see Nizam in a flea die like this.

"Zam, your wife is very beautiful. It turns out that true, a woman would be much prettier if she was married. Prepare your stamina to be a strong husband for the night," teased Arif with a whisper.

Nizam did not answer, but the eyeballs were the answer to Arif, that his brother was upset and did not want to joke. Instead of being silent, Arif even gave a smile and teased Nizam more. If all this time he was notoriously quiet, but not for now. He wants to keep flirting with Nizam.

"Nizam, out. Meet the other guests, it's not nice if you've been here too long. Accompany your papa, also say that his son-in-law is awake and now is fine," said Bu Zainiyah who still feeds Nina.

"Okay, Ma" said Nizam and stood up by pulling Arif's hand to follow him. Nizam could not wait to beat up Arif. Didn't he know that during his time in the room just now he was so gerogi that Nizam did not dare to look at Nina's face.

Just as Nizam closed the door of the room, Arif laughed out loud. From then on he held back from laughing out of respect for Nina and also for Bu Zainiyah. But not for now, it feels very satisfied to see the look on Nizam's face tense, gerogi, and it makes Arif can not hold back his laughter.

"Look at your face, like a girl left behind by her boyfriend. Come, Zam. It's your lucky day. Marrying the woman you want to have. You should be happy." Arif endlessly mocks Nizam while heading to the party.

Nizam hit Arif's back a little hard. However, that did not make Arif stop mocking him. "If your mouth can't stand still, I'm wearing socks," Nizam's gnarled guts began to prevent everything from Arif's mouth.

The two handsome men walked towards the event venue and after arriving there they were greeted by several people who had been waiting for news of the bride fainting and looking for her with many questions.

"Nizam, how's your wife doing?" ask Mr. Alkaf worried.

"Yes, Brother. How is Nina's current condition? Is she okay?" ask Zizie enthusiastically. He did not expect that his brother-in-law was the person who had once come to his house and gave the impression that he still remembered.

"Nina's fine, Om. He's just exhausted. Just rest then everything will be safe," replied Arif representing Nizam who felt it was still difficult to make a sound.

"Hi, Zam! How's the surprise from us? No aeru?" Hendra who suddenly came patting Nizam on the shoulder with his jail smile. While Mr. Alkaf and Zizie only laughed at Nizam's reaction which seemed still shocked by reality. The problem is, Mr. Alkaf and his sister also know that he did put his heart on Nina long before the engagement occurred.

Who else would have been the ringleader who leaked the secret if it wasn't Arif and Hendra. It feels like Nizam has no face even though the feelings he has been hiding are known to his own family.
