The Step Sister of Tiri

315. S2 - To the house of in-laws

Now the long-awaited time for the two families to perform the wedding has arrived. They carried out the contract at Aina's house, because this was only a marriage contract so they did not invite many guests, only a close family who witnessed their marriage.

Earlier this morning Oma Aisyah and Opa Hadi also made a video call. They apologize for not being able to come. Ever since they decided to stay in the village both were indeed rare to the city. Only occasionally Ayman and Zayna visit if there is a business trip

The Hanif family had also come since this morning. Kinan and Zea help Zayna prepare a banquet for guests. There wasn't much they could do because it was all from cathering.

Ijab kabul started to be sung by Ustadz Ali. Aina who was in the room was now increasingly made to pound, from earlier her heart was racing faster making Aina several times to take a deep breath to calm herself.

Ustadz Ali gave a gold dowry of 10 grams and also a set of prayer tools. Aina never knew about the dowry and what Ustadz Ali would give her, the most important thing for Aina was to get Ustadz Ali as her husband, it was already more than gratitude as the man was expected to be able to guide Aina to head onto a better path.

Aina's two hands clasped together when she heard the voice of Ustadz Ali heard up to her room. The marriage contract is carried out at the bride's house, and the rules when the contract begins Aina must wait in her room until the kabul ijab is completed.

The firm voice of Ustadz Ali who uses Arabic makes Aina's heart rustle. Aina did not expect that Ustadz Ali would use Arabic when reciting his kabul ijab, followed by a legitimate voice spoken by those watching below.

Shortly afterwards a knocking sound from outside Aina's room sounded. Aini and Zea went inside and approached Aina, looking at the bride sitting in front of her dressing table while looking at her, Aini smiled at her.

"Congratulations, now that you've become a wife" Aini said happily. She came to Aina's room because she was asked by her mother to pick her up to go down to see her husband.

"Yes, Aina congratulations on your marriage, may you be happy" Zea said

"Thank you for accompanying me" said Aina with teary eyes.

Aina was happy that this day had finally come to pass, but she was also getting more and more scared and restless with the next life she would live with her husband later. The woman was not quite ready physically, given her sense of inferiority to the Ustadz Ali family, in terms of religion.

"Why you?" tanya Aini cupped Aina's agitated face.

Aina replied by shaking her head. "I'm just a little worried."

Aina tried to set her heart so that she would no longer feel worried. Her decision to marry Ustadz Ali was the right one, and she will try to get used to her new life later, from now on the woman will try to istiqomah in small things, such as hijab.

"You don't have to worry anymore, now you're Ustadz Ali's wife. Let's meet your husband downstairs, " said Aini.

"Do I have to go down?" aina asked a little nervously.

"Of course, you're beautiful like this. There's no way if you keep in the room, let your husband see it." Aini smiled at Aina, trying to calm her twin sister down

"Look in the mirror. You're so pretty, you don't have to worry about Aina." Aini pointed Aina's face at the mirror that was right in front of her.

Aina looked at herself in the mirror, then she took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Now that he was a little calmer, he steadied his heart and prepared to go down to meet Ustadz Ali. Aina nodded slowly, then moved from her seat facing Aini who was looking at her with a smile that did not fade from her face.

"Come," lead Aini to walk.

Aina's heart was made pounding as Aini began to open the door of her room and bring Aina out. Aina walked slowly with her dress that was heavy enough to make Aini have to be behind her to help lift the end of Aina's dress that was dragged to the floor.

Aina started to go down the stairs of her house to get to the ground floor. The few people who were down there stared at Aina's arrival with unblinking eyes. They greatly admired Aina's beauty who looked so beautiful wearing a graceful white dress that perfectly matched her skin as well as bridal makeup.

Aina did not dare to look at them, she just kept her head down staring down there until finally Aina was directed by Aini to get closer to Ustadz Ali.

"Bless your head Aina," whispered Aini right in her ear. Aina slowly raised her head and looked at Ustadz Ali who was in front of her for a glance before Aina finally looked down again.

Aina was asked by her parents to kiss the back of Ustadz Ali's hand, which is now her husband. He hesitated to do that, he was not used to it yet. The woman was puzzled whether she should grab Ustadz Ali's hand first or not, long enough Aina exclaimed with the contents of her head before finally Ustadz Ali gave her hand towards Aina, aina immediately kissed the back of Ustadz Ali's hand.

Long enough Aina was in that position because she felt the hand of another Ustadz Ali was holding the top of his head while chanting the holy verse of the Qur'an. Aina had seen this several times when a Ustadz married and she would read something to his wife.

When finished, Aina and Ustadz Ali used the ring that had been prepared. First Ustadz Ali dressed the ring to Aina, then alternated with Aina wearing the ring on Ustadz Ali's finger.

When they finished, they signed the marriage certificate and took some photos. Now that they have officially become a married couple, Aina's heart has now become more calm and airy.

The next event is sungkem, this is an event that will make sad and haru, especially for the Aina family because they will release Aina to live with her new family.

Both Aina and Ustadz Ali's parents were already sitting in rows on the seats that had been provided. Then Aina and Ustadz Ali came to them in turn to ask for blessing and pray that their next life will run happily and avoid things that are not desirable.

Aina cried as she bowed to her parents. Now that Aina was going to leave the house and become an independent woman to take care of her husband, Aina was very sad because she was going to leave her parents even though she could come at any time to this house, aina was still sad.

Papa Ayman also gave a message to Ustadz Ali to take good care of Aina. They have released Aina to live life together with her new family, now the responsibility as a father for Aina he handed over to Ustadz Ali as Aina's husband.

"You must take care of my daughter, do not hurt her body and heart. If he returns home and complains to me in tears, then I will not hesitate to teach you a lesson." That's Ayman's message as Aina's father.

Aina still continued to shed tears, several times she rubbed trying to wipe the eyes and the water running down her cheeks to ease the crying. Her eyes could not lie even though she was holding back her tears, Aina would continue to cry when she looked into the eyes of her parents, Aina felt that she did not want to part with them even if only temporarily.

"Aina said goodbye, yeah, Pa, Mom. Aina will often come here to see you," said Aina hugging her parents with tears that returned.

After the event was over, Aina would return to Ustadz Ali's house and live there with Ustadz Ali's family. This was the one thing that made Aina feel worried and uneasy from yesterday, if only Aina had not lived in the Ustadz Ali family home maybe Aina would have been mediocre and nothing to worry about.

Given that Ustadz Ali's family was a religious person, Aina feared that she could not fit in. Even so, Aina would try to be a good wife to Ustadz Ali.

Aina approached Aini and also Arslan, her brother. Aina also said goodbye to them and hugged them so tightly, Aina also thanked them because they had already made Aina feel much better with her current feelings.

"Sir, Aini. Aina leave first huh, Aina will definitely miss you guys a lot. You guys just calm down, you guys don't worry, Aina will always remember your advice yesterday, thanks for your blessing Aina so feel calmer," said Aina smiling towards them with tears flowing down her cheeks.

Aini rubbed Aina's tears using a tissue, rubbing it slowly so that the makeup on Aina's face did not fade. "You don't cry anymore, baby this make up will fade," kekeh Aini although in his heart he also still feels sad and had time to cry.

"You don't be reckless, yes, there, you must follow what your husband says. You need to know, being a good wife is also a worship with a large enough reward," Arslan's message to Aina who was adopted by the girl.

Aina said goodbye to Hira, Zea, and Adam. He was so moved to hear the prayers and messages of people who loved and cared about him.

Finally Aina left with a suitcase containing her clothes. Aina stepped foot heavily leaving the house, Aina hoping that she could be at home in the Ustadz Ali family home later.

They left in one car. In the car there was no conversation between them making Aina even more awkward with the current state, Aina continued to stare out the window with her mind constantly noisy because she thought about many things.

Aina imagined how later when she reached the family home of Ustadz Ali, what Aina should do and prepare. Aina continued to wonder in her mind, Aina was not so ready with all the risks that would be borne after marrying Ustadz Ali because their family was so religious, inversely proportional to Aina, as opposed to Aina, that was why Aina continued to feel worried and scared. Afraid that she would not be able to keep up with her husband's family.

The journey felt long enough for Aina, until she finally felt that the car had stopped and they had reached the family home Ustadz Ali. They got out of the car to get into the house.

Aina's suitcase was taken down by the driver and brought inside. Aina looked around Ustadz Ali's house which looked very soothing, the air in the house was very cool even though Aina did not see any AC in the room.

"Aina, you just go straight into the room yeah, so you can rest first and change clothes." Bu Nur approached Aina and spoke softly to Aina who was met with a friendly smile by Aina.

"Good ma'am, thank you," Aina said awkwardly.

"Ali, you take Aina to the room first yes, let's change clothes, then we will have lunch together," said Ibu Nur to Ustadz Ali.

"Good Mom. Come with me" said Ustadz Ali, taking Aina to their room with her suitcase.

When going to walk Aina felt difficulties with her extended dress. "Let me help." Ustadz Ali helped lift Aina's dress on the back. Found it Aina became a little unpleasant because it was troublesome for her husband.

"Thank you, Mum." Aina said a little nervously, moreover Aina just this time called Ustadz Ali as "Mas" because she had officially become her husband.

"Either. Come on in, now this room has become our room," said Ustadz Ali invited Aina to enter his room.

Ustadz Ali's room looks so neat and organized. Aina also saw some Qur'an and other books neatly arranged in a small closet that seemed to be used to put various kinds of books that Ustadz Ali had.

Aina felt this room was not so bad and she could comfortably sleep here. Aina has now calmed down a little because she also received good treatment from the Ustadz Ali family.

"This is your suitcase. You better take a shower and change clothes, I'll take a shower in another bathroom" said Ustadz Ali.

"Why not just here? We can take turns using the bathroom" said Aina. They had just married and Ustadz Ali chose to use another bathroom because there was Aina. Surely Aina so feel bad about what Ustadz Ali did.

Ustadz Ali smiled. "All right then."

"Just take a shower first, I'll wait while getting my clothes done" said Aina, who was taken by Ustadz Ali.

After finishing the bath and changing clothes they immediately went down to lunch with the Ali family. They chatted and Aina chimed in little by little because she was still so awkward with this family.

When Azan Ashar and Maghrib arrived they performed congregational prayers at home because this house also had a mosque for their families to pray together. After the Maghrib prayer Aina felt something was wrong with her because suddenly she felt pain in her stomach, Aina went straight to the bathroom to check on her and it turned out that she was coming to the moon that night.

"Are you okay?" asked Ustadz Ali when he saw Aina who was a little moody and more silent when he finished the Maghrib prayer.

"I'm sorry for tonight" Aina said, looking down. He felt bad for Ustadz Ali, as this was their first night while Aina suddenly had a monthly guest.

"I just had my period, I'm sorry when it was the first night" Aina said.

Ustadz Ali smiled calmly as he approached Aina. "It's okay, you don't have to worry," he said making Aina feel more relieved.
