The Journey of Love Shofia

Before the Wedding

💐Wedding is something sacred. Not just a legitimate speech awaited💐

Shofia pov's...

This morning, I saw my best friend metamorphosing. My best friend who I used to see whining and whining by herself now looks very different.

I looked at my friend for a long time. The incantation candidate that got me pangling. Rizwan looks handsome, mature and very authoritative. It was much different from his everyday appearance when he was with me.

I began to think, would everyone look different if they were wearing typical bridal clothes? Wearing all white clothes. Starting from shirts, pants, suits and even songkok was white.

How handsome my best friend is. Now I know why until he can be made the same ghost of Mr. Kiai. At first I doubted that the Kiai was the one who asked Rizwan to be his ex. But after his appearance changed slightly, an aura of dignity instantly oozed out from him.

Looking at Rizwan's clothes, I thought about how my beloved gus would look if she was really a bride? It'll be very handsome.

Long ago when I was fiting clothes, I've seen them. But seeing this friend of mine I became curious again. If so the bride must be my beloved gus will also come out her aura ..

"Don't look at Shof. Later in love." said Rizwan woke me from my daydream that had been widened everywhere.

"If I fall in love with you, Riz. The world will shake." I laughed blandly. I know my jokes aren't funny at all.

"Keeps Ngapain saw it that way?"

"I'm pangling Riz."

"Pangling?" I saw Rizwan twitching his forehead. Maybe he's confused.

"Yes. You are so different." I honestly replied.

"What makes Shof?" it's true that he was confused as to why. He is also just a different outfit. No makeup at all.

"You look like a grown-up Riz. I didn't expect my friend's whining to change drastically with the bride."

"His name is also calin manten Shof her aura out"

I remember the last time I saw the face of my beloved Gus. When he died, his face was shining. Looks calm and more handsome. Uh! I miss it....

"Why daydream?"

"Emm I remember Gus Zakaria Riz. Would she be as handsome as you if she were a bride? " i heard Rizwan sigh slowly.

"Shof, Zakaria's calm down there."

"I know Riz. What's wrong I remember. I'm praying for him to get an angel there."

"When his funeral was Shof. All I think about is you. How will you live the days after his sudden death. But now I'm relieved. It turns out you live well. Far from what I'm afraid of."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you can't make her go away."

"My life must also go on Riz."

"You're right." Rizwan left after hearing his uncle calling to go to the place of ijab qobul. I also immediately looked for Ziana to leave as well.

****

Rizwan...

Today I am very happy. How not? Today will be a very historic day. The day I change my status. The day I'm gonna take off my free time.

"Mother's son is already handsome." My mother's soft voice sounded while I was wearing my watch. I immediately looked over and found him smiling and staring at me.

"This mother's son is a handsome mother." I said as I approached her. I led my mother to sit on the bed.

I can feel happiness through my mother's eyes. He looked at me inside. Maybe he was thinking about my father. People said my father's face when he was young was the same as mine. My mother's right hand touched my face. Immediately I cupped my hand to the hand of him who was catching my right cheek.

"Mothers. Today Rizwan is getting married. Rizwan asked the mother to pray for the Rizwan household to be a safe household, Mawaddah Warohmah." I said as I pulled the mother's hand over her lap. I kissed the two palms in turn. I heard mom sniffling.

"Do'a mom is always with you son. Mother Berdo'a may all be launched by Allah Azza Wa Jalla. Aamiins. May your household be loved by God and be blessed with offspring quickly." I think my tears fell on my hands. I wiped the tears gently.

"Aamiinu. Mom soon Rizwan will bring mother-in-law home. So you won't be lonely anymore."

"Yes son. I'm so happy to see you wearing these clothes I used to pray so that you could see your kids getting married. But it turns out that God took Zechariah before he got married to Shofia." mother sighed softly. Yep. She also loved Zechariah and Har like her own children. Sometimes I even feel like they're mom's biological children and I'm just a stepson. Hixes

"Rizwan is intending to introduce Shofia to Har bu." Mom smiled. It seems like my mother also agreed with my plan.

"Keep them?"

"They wanted me to introduce you. Although heavy struggle makes merwka bedua agree. The plan was yesterday, ma'am I introduced. That's why Shofia arrived earlier yesterday. But darling Har can't come ma'am. He had a sudden assignment at the flood evacuation post in Jakarta." again mother sighs. Your mother even knows how Shofia and Har are both antagonistic. Besides me for Shofia. Either we're very fit to be friends.

"Mother wishes they were Riz's match. They seem to fit" really. Mother's judgment is the same as mine.

"Amen."

"Yes, my mother came out first to take care of the others. We're leaving soon."

After mom came out, I also went out of the room. As I stood while improving my appearance in front of the room. I found my best friend, Shofia looking at me.

I noticed Shofia. But it seems like his mind is not here. He looks like he's daydreaming. I knew he must be thinking of Zechariah.

Soon I had to introduce her to Har. I hope Har can erase the sadness in Shofia's life.

I immediately teased him. But from his battle, I knew that his heart was agitated at this moment.

After I asked him if he was thinking about Zakaria, it turned out that my guess was correct.

I remember the funeral of Zakaria. While walking to the cemetery In front of the coffin there are two people carrying mayang crows, a symbol of the wedding gathering.

It should be a symbol of Shofia and Zachariah meeting in a week. But just then, I saw that thing leave Shofia.

My mind was immediately focused on Shofia. I thought about my best friend. How he will live out the days ahead after Zakaria's departure. I know a lot of the plans they made after the wedding. I'm afraid Shofia's down.

But it turns out that my anxiety is useless. My best friend is very strong. The feeling of love gives him strength.

Shofia is the most powerful girl I've ever met. Her future husband died one week before the wedding date. Although I know it must have been very painful at the time. But she's not crying.

At first I was astonished. When I came back from the funeral I saw Shofia not even crying. I'm getting worried. What if he gets depressed?

But after I heard the explanation from Umi. I know what the reason is. What a great power of love for my two best friends.

Even though Zachariah was dead, He still gave Shofia strength. I became envious of a love story that would surely be etched beautifully in the hearts of anyone who knew the story. I envy the love story of the two who are so sincere and based on Love for Allah SWT.

When I saw Shofia so sad today. The worry appeared again. It was at this time that I was sure that Shofia must have remembered Zakaria. He must have felt sorry for his beloved Gus.

I'm afraid that Shofia still hasn't classified Zachariah's death. But I was wrong again. It turned out that Shofia remembered him for praying for Zakaria. Isn't this a love story that deserves to make everyone jealous?
