The cry of the word "Sah" has echoed inside the large mosque in the Al-Ikhlas cottage area, Malang. Everyone is happy because of it. In one breath, Rizwan loudly uttered his vow of his ijab sentence. A magic sentence that has justified itself to the wife and vice versa.
Bu Hamidah released his son into a husband with tears of happiness. He sits behind the son with Rumi, Rizwan and Shofia's sister who always holds tightly the hands of his best friend's mother.
People say there is no such thing as a friend between a man and a woman. Taoi is really just a friendly bond that has bound Rizwan and Shofia. They both loved each other as brothers. Two-year-old Rizwan over Shofia always tries to protect Shofia from the past.
"Sir, after this you also have to have something to do" said Hamidah looking at Shofia. Shofia smiled bitterly at it. Who will say the holy pledge for him alone he has no candidate. Boro-boro candidates, the view alone does not yet exist...
Sandy's? Sandy is a good person. Shofia also opened her heart to him. But Shofia wasn't sure yet to make room in her heart for that fellow teacher.
A har? Even Shofia had not met him. He does not know the figure of Har. He only heard stories from the Ziana family, Rizwan even Bu Hamidah helped convince Shofia to accept the man.
It seems like everyone who loves him is supportive of accepting Har. But he himself did not know what Har was like.
"God willing, ma'am. I'll just pray that Shofia's soul mate is close."
"Aamiinu. You're already my own son."
"Yes mom. Shofia loves her mom too. Shofia is happy because many love Shofia."
Shofia didn't lie. Everyone who knows Shofia will surely love that girl. It is like having three mothers who love him now.
The Zakariah family and the Rizwan family also loved Shofia like part of their family.
But the heart cannot be lied to. Although many people love him, his heart still feels empty. There is no place to share taste. All this time he kept it to himself.
"I hope you are the same as Har" said Rumi who heard the conversation of two women from other generations next to her. She also considers Shofia like her older sister. They are both close as well.
"When everyone prays this is the most likely." Shofia smile. This is Rizwan asking for support from anyone. Not everything is already on the know...
After the kabul ijab completed the Rizwan family was invited to a large room that had been provided. Rizwan himself was taken to another place. Maybe he had to change clothes by using Javanese clothes for the next event, Meet the Bride.
In the room where the Rizwan family breaks are available many snacks and various kinds of appetizing drinks to be eaten before the Ursy walimatul event soon.
Two brides approached them. Seeking the charge of the bridesmaids.
Uncle Rizwan who was given responsibility immediately met the two people. They talked about the event that was going to take place. It turns out there is a division of duties for the show filler.
After the two men left, Rizwan's uncle approached Hamidah's mother to convey a message from the man about the distribution of the show fillers.
Uncle Rizwan already has a list to fill out some events. But he did not have anyone who could fill the show for the Qiro'at event. Yes, Qiro'at is one part of the event charged at the Rizwan family.
Hamidah's mother thought hard. About who can qiro'at here. Since the venue was far away, he did not bring so much to his extended family. So it's hard to find who can be trusted to be assigned a task.
"Sound, Shof... I ask for your help" said Hamidah's mother after she reached where Shofia was sitting. Shofia immediately focused on her best friend's mother.
"What's wrong mom? What can Shofia help you with?" Shofia was anxious because it seemed like it was an emergency. For Ms. Hamidah it is an emergency. Damn the honor of his family is at stake here. If they are not willing to do their duty, will they not be ashamed of their families?
But Shofia's worries weren't for that. He was afraid that there was a problem with his best friend's marriage. She is still traumatized by the failure of her marriage.
"Mother. Please help me later qiro'at. Our family was given a share for the qiro'at. While the family that you brought all of them no one can. You want ya?" Shofia sighed. He was relieved that there were no problems with the show.
"Alright mom. Shofia is a mother's son. Of course Shofoa would be happy to help." Hamidah, Ziana and Rumi were happy to hear Shofia's answer.
Not long before the wedding event will be held. Rizwan has returned to the group by using Javanese clothing for this event. He looks handsome.
Rizwan is held by his mother and uncle on the right and left sides. Behind him, all the families go into the place of walimatul ursy. All the wedding tradition processions have been completed. Rizwan and his wife were put on stage to undergo a long process as a bride.
"The process is a lot" Ziana told Shofia.
"Yes Zi. This is only partly true. Although this is a cottage environment, it seems like Pak Kiai's family upholds the custom here"
"Truly mbak. It's better that way, right? So the relationship between Javanese customs and also Islam can be harmonious."
"true."
The three girls laughed stifledly when they saw Rizwan's face during the event procession. He seemed confused about carrying out the process. He just found out if the wedding procession at his wife's place so much and complicated according to him.
"Mas Rizwan looks really sprained. Look at his face from earlier bent." said Rumi. He was the one left among the three girls.
"Your mom is no longer a rum sprain. He was confused to know. Look at his face like a daze" said Shofia. Rumi immediately looked at the face of the older brother.
"really. Wow this can be used as a plug material in the next few weeks" said Rumi happy.
"What dare you still make fun of Rizwan when he brings his wife later?" ask Ziana.
"Yes too. But there's gotta be a chance for that."
"You haven't changed. I used to love flirting with your mama." Shofia has known the Rizwan family for a long time. So he has memorized the habits of his best friend's sister.
"Rizwan's wife is beautiful" Ziana said
"really. It looks good too. I'm sure he'll be your friend Rum" Shofia said.
Rizwan's wife is beautiful. He's good too. Several times Shofia made video calls with his friend's wife. As long as he was friendly with Rizwan, he already knew that Rizwan already had a future wife. So Rizwan also introduced Shofia to his future wife so that there would be no misunderstanding.
