The Step Sister of Tiri

15. Legitimate

The word legitimately echoed in the living room of the family of Grace. A sense of haru enveloped the room. The bride's tears just dripped down, this time not out of sadness, but tears of happiness. Finally the halal label has him owned for his imam now.

From today the paradise is with the husband. Whatever the order of the man will be obeyed as long as it is still in the Islamic Sharia. Prayer is recited by an ustaz for this marriage sakinah, mawaddah, warahmah. All guests also secured it.

For the first time Zayna kissed the back of a man's hand other than her father's. Ayman replied by kissing his wife's forehead and reciting prayers right on the woman's crown. Some people shed tears because they feel overwhelmed by what they see.

Unlike Savina and her two daughters who like not to see this event. In their hearts they sneered and wanted to end it immediately.

Meanwhile, Fahri continued to pay attention to Zayna. He admitted that his ex-girlfriend looks very beautiful even more than Zanita. But the man could do nothing. Zayna belonged to someone else, there was no chance for her. Especially considering how cruel she was when she decided her marriage first.

Regret did come too late and Fahri felt it today. Though the wedding itself was only five days old, but he did not feel the pleasure of the newlyweds. Zanita seems to be another person after marriage. She used to be so considerate of her husband, but now she is no more.

"They're very compatible, it looks like the man loves Zayna very much. I'm sure they'll be happy" said Ma'ruf, who was intentional to hear his son.

Until now Ma'ruf was very regretful about Fahri's choice, but he also did not want to impose the wishes of the young people. Zayna also deserves to be happy with the person who loves her. Actually Ma'ruf also knew who Zayna's husband was, but it was not her right to interfere. There must be a reason behind all this, considering the groom's family is a good person.

"Mothers and mothers, please enjoy the dishes that are already available in front. Sorry if it is less pleasing, just potluck," said Ilham—asisten Ayman— after the event was completed.

Everyone else went out. There were siomay builders, meatballs, batagor, chicken noodles and other food vendors lined up in front of the house. The family of Grace was shocked to see him. They did not prepare anything because it was also Ayman's request. Zayna herself felt bad for her husband, definitely spending a lot of money by buying all the food vendors.

"What do you want to eat? Let me get it?" ayman asked his wife.

"No, I can do it myself."

"Don't you see, right. There's a jostle, I'd better be."

"Tu .. um, let me get you. What do you want?" Almost Ilham keceplosan call mister. Fortunately, he quickly realized.

"Yes, let Inspiration be taken. What do you want?" ask Ayman again.

"Batagor only."

"Two batagor, Ham."

"okay." Inspiration immediately to the batagor seller.

"So that's Ilham, my best friend," said Ayman, who is called Zayna.

"Mas, why call so many sellers? Two or three, is enough. It's all gonna be expensive."

"It's okay, I have savings that I have prepared for our wedding day."

"But it doesn't need to be like this, Mom. Better the money is sent to your parents. That's more useful."

'If only you knew that your in-laws could even buy ten restaurants. Mama, you should have heard what your son-in-law said, you must have felt moved. I'm sorry I haven't been able to tell you the truth, Na. Wait another month, ' inwardly Ayman.

"Please enjoy" said Ilham who just came with a plate of batagor and a glass of drink.

"Why just one? I asked for two!" ask Ayman.

"It's in line so, I only got one. Bribes are more romantic, right. Later if it is not in line I take it again," replied Ilham.

Ayman also glared at his eyes. He knew that his assistant had deliberately taken one plate. To be honest the man was also happy if he could eat one plate, but Zayna definitely felt uncomfortable. Ayman knew his wife very well.

"That's just for Mas, I'm not hungry either" Zayna said.

"No, that's for you. It was taken for you."

Ayman and Zayna eat in one dish. Although they were nervous, they both tried to stay calm. While Ilam smiled from a distance.

"Good, yeah, get a boss!" doni from behind Ilham.

"Eh, Mr. Doni, when will I see him so helpless."

"Prepare tomorrow for a tantrum."

"No way, sir. Instead he would be so grateful for making him closer to his wife."

Doni thought for a moment then nodded.

*****

While in a large house, a middle-aged woman gets a video of her son's wedding. His eyes glazed over at all the Kabul ijab processions. He did not expect that the child who used to be in his arms had now become a priest for a woman.

"Mama, why?" ask Hadi.

"Our son looks very handsome, Pa," Aisyah replied with a still staring at the video on her phone.

"Then what about our daughter-in-law?"

"Pretty."

"That's all?"

"Otherwise? Mama, don't you know anything else."

"Mama must have seen when she talked to Ayman so as not to waste money, it's better to send it to Mama, right?"

"Not to Mama, but to Papa."

"That means, Mama listen, right?"

Aisha was silent, not chiming in on her husband's words. Actually he was a little touched by Zayna's words, but his ego was higher. The woman tried to deny the kindness of her daughter-in-law.

Hadi who saw his wife was silent no longer asked. He himself had begun to melt after seeing the identity of his daughter-in-law from the file brought by his men. His son did not choose wrongly and he as a father was very proud of it.

"By the way, Papa so want to eat meatballs see the seller there," said Hadi while watching the video that his wife played.

"Papa, there's-there's just. People are seriously talking about food."

"Papa's serious, Ma."

"So, ah."

Hadi smiled seeing his wife pouting. Actually he just wanted to distract his wife for a moment. However, Aisyah still seems very enthusiastic about the wedding video of her son. As a parent, there was a desire in his heart to be present to witness his son's marriage. However, the ego regains self-control and can finally only see from a distance.
