The Sacrifice of Nayra

Ijab Qobul

The makeup artist rushed to tidy up Nayra's makeup that had faded with tears. Once completed, the marriage procession begins. First of all, Mr. Pengulu gave a lecture and read a long prayer for the bride and groom. But Rama did not even a little memubris lecture delivered by Mr. Penghulu. Rama looks dreamy. His face is so grim. He remembered Aisha. Rama recalled the time she married Aisha two years ago. Rama imagines Aisha's face looking so pretty in bridal attire.

Rama gasped from his daydream when Pak Surya suddenly shook his hand.

"Bismilbornohmannirrohim... Brother Rama Son of Mahendra bin Syamsul Mahendra?" said Mr. Surya.

Rama was silent. He was still in shock because he had just realized from his daydream. Everyone in the room looked panicked. They looked at each other while whispering. Then Mr. Surya repeated his sentence.

"Brother of Rama Son of Mahendra bin Syamsul Mahendra?"

"Sa... Rama Putra Mahendra bin Syamsul Mahendra" said Rama a little doubtful.

"Sorry Brother Rama, you must not hesitate in answering!" exclaim Mr. Penghulu.

"I'm sorry Sir. Can we repeat that?"

Mr. Surya repeated the same sentence for the third time.

"Brother of Rama Son of Mahendra bin Syamsul Mahendra?"

"I am Rama Putra Mahendra bin Syamsul Mahendra"

"Brother of Rama Putra Mahendra bin Syamsul Mahendra, I marry you and I treat you to my daughter Nayra Syafira Azahra with a dowry a set of prayer tools and a set of gold jewelry weighing 30 grams paid in cash"

"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Aisha Naziya Almahyra..."

The deg!

Everyone in the room was shocked to hear Rama mention Aisha instead of Nayra, as well as Rama himself. He did not realize that he had mentioned Aisha's name, because all he had in mind at that time was Aisha.

Nayra stared intently at Rama. Without Nayra noticing there was a clear water dripping from her eyes.

"Nayra, I'm sorry Nay. I really didn't mean it..." Rama feels guilty for Nayra.

"No pa pa Mas. Nayra knows Mas"

'Mas Rama, Nayra knows that Mas Rama really loves Aisha's mother. Must be Mas Rama was forced to approve this marriage, right Mas? Nayra could feel what Mas Rama was feeling right now Nayra murmured inwardly.

There were whispers from the guests in the room.

"Sorry everyone. Sorry Mr Surya, could you please repeat it again?" ask Rama.

Mr. Surya repeated his sentence for the fourth time. And this time Rama answered him correctly.

"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Nayra Syafira Azahra bint Surya Haryadi with the dowry paid in cash"

"How's witness?" ask Pengghulu sir.

The word "SAH" came out of the mouths of the witnesses and everyone in the room. Then all gave thanks to God and prayed for the bride and groom.

Finally Rama and Nayra have legitimately become a couple. Rama put the ring on Nayra's ring finger and kissed Nayra's forehead gently. Then Nayra kissed her husband's hand. After that, they both asked their parents for blessings.

"Congratulations, Brother Rama. Congratulations, Nay, from now on I will call you sister-in-law" Alina said.

"No, Alina, just call me Nayra!" exclaim Nayra.

"No. You will be my sister-in-law" said Alina then stick out her tongue.

"Yinya!!" Nayra was furious at Alina's behavior.

"Just let Nay, whatever Alin wants to call you" Rama chimed in.

After the marriage contract procession is completed, then proceed with a photo session. Rama and Nayra look so harmonious when side by side. Photographers also direct their style. At first Nayra and Rama look awkward when the photographer directs their style both. Moreover, they are directed to look friendly like a pair of brides who are happy. Nayra and Rama can only follow the direction of the photographer because all eyes are on them. They also tried to carve a sweet smile in front of everyone.

'Oh my God, why did I become deg degan gini when I was close to Mas Rama?' inner Nayra.

At that time the photographer directed Rama to hug Nayra's waist from behind, then told Nayra to put her hand on Rama's hand. In a matter of three, there was a snapshot sound from the photographer's camera. Then the photographer directed another style. Finish the wedding photo and then proceed with the family photo. All the guests who were present took pictures with the bride and groom.

"Nayra, before I go home I want to go to Aisha's grave. Can you take me there?" ask Mr. Surya after the event is over.

"Yes Dad"

"Rama, you take your wife and in-laws to Aisha's grave!" exclaim Mr. Syamsul.

"Good Pa"

***

After changing clothes, Rama escorted Nayra and Bu Aini to Aisha's grave. Mr. Surya, Mr. Bayu and Ms. Yasmin followed their car from behind.

Half an hour later they arrived. Mr. Surya looks so sad when he sees the tomb of his eldest daughter. They sit next to Aisha's grave and recite a prayer for Aisha's spirit.

'Aisha. I'm sorry, Son, I wasn't there for you in your last moments. I'm sorry that I couldn't be a good father to you and Nayra. I feel like I failed as a father. I can't set a good example for you two. I'm sorry, Aisha' Mr. Surya said in his heart.

Mr. Surya cried in front of Aisha's grave. Mr. Surya deeply regrets his actions in the past. It was because of this that he lost his wife and children. But the rice has become porridge, sorry is no use anymore.

"Patient Surya.." said Mr. Bayu while patting his sister's back.

Ms. Aini could not hold back her tears anymore. His heart was touched when he saw Mr. Surya crying in front of Aisha's grave.

'I will never be able to forgive your mistakes. However, you are the real father of Aisha and Nayra. I know you loved them a lot. You must be very sad to not be able to see Aisha in her last moments' inner inner Bu Aini.

"Prophe yes Aini" exclaimed Ms. Yasmin while rubbing the back of Ms. Aini.

'Ma'am Aisha, I have fulfilled your last request. Today I am married to Mas Rama. I will try to be a good wife and mother to Kyara. May your spirit be at His side' Nayra murmured inwardly as she stared at Aisha's navel.

'Darling... How are you? Do you miss me like I always miss you? I've fulfilled your request to marry your sister for Kyara's sake. But just so you know, until whenever Nayra will not be able to replace your position in my heart Aisha.
