The Pearl of the Heart of Alvino

62

The wedding day, Alvino looks very nervous because soon the procession of kabul ijab event will begin. Alvino's hands repeatedly rubbed the sweat on his temples, because he felt anxious if he could not say kabul ijab well. Nathan and Kenan sitting next to him are just trying to calm down his best friend.

"Silence, Al. Breathe in, throw out. Breathe out." Kenan chuckles to see Alvino following Nathan's words. "Breath, hold." Nathan tried to hold back his laughter looking at the speechless Alvino while holding his breath.

"Well!" Alvino exhaled violently. His hand reflexes humming his best friend's head are very annoying.

"You want to make me die?" tanya Alvino was full of emphasis.

"No! I didn't tell you to follow me, but you were following me" Nathan said, Alvino's eyes staring intently at Nathan with tightly clenched hands.

"The groom is ready?" asked Mr. Penghulu who sat in front of Alvino, stopping the debate between two humans who never get along.

"Ehem! Ehem!" Alvino cleared his throat to relieve the nervousness that came again. "Already, sir." Alvino's voice sounded so steady.

Mr. Sandi, who was sitting next to Mr. Penghulu, immediately shook the hand of Alvino who would soon officially become his son-in-law.

"Young Master Alvino Son of Alexander, are you ready to say this sacred kabul?" ask Mr. Sandi to make sure. Alvino only responded with a nod of his head.

"Before the Ijab kabul event takes place, may I say a word or two to you?" Alvino nodded again, Mr. Sandi smiled knotfully as he felt Alvino's already wet palm.

"Not to be nervous, let's just relax. Dear Young Master Alvino, I thank you for asking for my daughter, whom I love so much. I won't talk too much. Sir, or I call Nak Al just so it's better to hear yes," said Mr. Sandi a little joking. Everyone smiled broadly at Mr. Sandi's words.

"Son Alvino, once this kabul festival is over, all responsibility for Rania, my youngest daughter will be yours. I no longer have any right to Rania, but she will still be the youngest daughter of my pride." Mr. Sandi was silent for a moment pausing his words.

"I promise, sir." Alvino's voice sounded so convincing.

"Son, Rania only got affection from me and without the figure of a mother. Can you promise not to hurt her? If he is wrong, remind him in a gentle way. If you are bored or do not love him anymore. Please, never hurt or make her cry, just give her back to me and I'll take it back with pleasure." Mr. Sandi's voice rang out trembling, looking as though he was trying to hold back his cries at this moment. Want it for whatever time he stall it, but this time will surely come. It was a hard time for her to let go of her two daughters living their new lives.

"I promise to love and love Rania with all my heart, Pa. However, I can't promise not to make her cry, but I will try my best so that I don't even get Rania's heart hurt." Mr. Sandi smiled at Alvino's reassuring remarks.

"All right, let's get this kabul show started." The atmosphere at the place of the sacred event was suddenly silent, Alvino inhaled a long breath and exhaled slowly to reduce the nervousness that came back to him.

"Bismillah. Brother Alvino Son of Alexander, I marry and control you, with my biological daughter Rania Sandijaya bint Sandijaya with a set of prayer tools, gold weighing one hundred grams and money as much as one hundred billion, paid in cash!"

"I received his marriage and marriage, Rania Sandijaya bint Sandijaya for myself with the mascawine, cash!" Alvino's voice sounded so loud and he uttered it with just one breath.

"How's the witness, legit?"

"Well!"

"Alhamdulillah." All breathed a sigh of relief as the kabul event went smoothly, after reciting the prayer. It was time for the bride to enter the venue. All eyes were on a beautiful girl like a princess who was walking down the stairs slowly. Almost all pairs of eyes were so amazed to see Rania who looked very beautiful.

Alvino was silent to see the beauty of the face of the girl who has now officially carried the title as his wife. While Rania walks with a face that looks shy because she is now the center of attention. Rania walked up to Alvino with Ana and Cacha on her right and left, while Nadira sat down with her parents. Febian, who participated in the event, could only remain silent.
