We Are Different

Connecting Broken Straps

This week Malik and Aluna are really serious about preparing for their marriage. All of their friends - the Lima Jones Gang plus the Girl - helped them prepare.

The invitation is in order, the dress is already designed. Souvenirs are also purchased. Aluna and Malik are very grateful their friends sincerely and diligently help them.

In one heart the three important things are ready in the message. Fortunately, the times are sophisticated. You can order online except wedding dresses.

This afternoon Malik and Aluna plan to find their wedding ring. Both of them plan to go look for him after work.

Malik was waiting for Aluna on the ground floor of Building B. When they were about to leave, they met with Mr. Baskoro.

"Waaah looks like there will be this good news" said Mr. Baskoro.

Malik and Aluna smiled meaningfully at the boss they respected so much.

"Alhamdulillah sir, just pray everything is smooth. God willing next month we will get married" Malik said.

"Alhamdulillah... I'm glad to hear it" Baskoro said.

Malik and Aluna smiled shyly.

"Thank you sir, all this happened also because of the help of the Father" said Malik.

"Occustomed to that. You just want to straighten out the misunderstanding between you. If there is anything that can be helped, just say no" said Mr. Baskoro.

"Yes sir, thank you again" replied Aluna.

"So you're in a hurry to go prepare all that?" ask Mr. Baskoro.

"Yes sir, we say go home first sir" Malik said.

"Be careful, hopefully good until the day - H" replied Pak Baskoro.

"Aamiin" replied Malik and Aluna.

Malik and Aluna walked towards the car park and then left the government office area.

They were in the largest mall in their city. Malik and Aluna walked towards the Jewelry Store selling the jewelry they wanted to look for.

Aluna and Malik are choosing the wedding ring they want. Suddenly, a couple greeted them.

"Aluna" call the middle-aged woman.

Aluna and Malik turned their heads towards the owner of the voice.

"Ma. ma" replied Aluna.

Malik chose silence and watched quietly what was happening before him.

"Why are you Lun again?" ask the woman.

Aluna kissed the old man's hands with respect and Malik followed her.

"Mmm. Anu Ma is again looking for something" replied Aluna shyly - embarrassed.

The woman noticed the pair of rings that were in front of Aluna.

"Wedding rings, who wants to marry, you?" ask the woman again who is none other than Lila Aluna's former in-laws.

"Oh yes Ma" replied Aluna.

The woman noticed the face of Malik who was beside Aluna.

"This is your partner?" ask Lila.

"Yes Ma" replied Aluna.

"When is Lun's wedding?" ask Regi.

"God willing next month Pa" replied Aluna.

"Waaah it's close, you didn't tell us" said Lila.

"Ah Mama, will also arrive at the invitation" replied Aluna.

"Yes already Ma they must also be bothered, do not be disturbed. We just wait for the invitation to get home" Regi told Lila.

"Kamal must be sad to hear this news Lun" said Lila who was also sad and disappointed to hear from Luna.

Malik began to understand who they were meeting this after hearing Kamal's name called. Aluna could only faintly smile at the babble of her former in-laws.

"Already. have Ma.. Aluna and Kamal are done. Let Aluna be happy with her choice" cut Regi.

"Yes Pa" replied Aluna.

Lila took a deep breath, but still looked disappointed.

"Yes, don't forget to deliver the invitation letter" said Lila.

"Yes Ma InshaAllah" replied Aluna quickly.

The couple finally left in front of Malik and Aluna. Malik looked at Aluna's face with a questioning look.

"His parents are Mas Kamal Lik" Aluna said.

"Ooo.. Let's order the ring. Which one do you want?" ask Malik.

Aluna looked back at the several pairs of wedding rings that were in front of them.

"Yes, yes" replied Aluna.

"I like this one too. Yes, let's order" welcome Malik.

They bought a ring that they liked after that they just prayed, had dinner and then went home.

"Al I can't stop by, there's work to be done. I went straight home" said Malik.

"Yes Lik, you are careful" replied Aluna.

Aluna got out of the car while Malik went straight from the area of Aluna's house. When Aluna was about to enter the house arrived - there was a car that stopped in front of her house.

Aluna stopped her steps and turned around to see who was coming. Aluna is shocked to see her former in-laws coming with Aunt and Omnya.

"Assalamu'alaikum Aluna" said Dwi.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Aunt" replied Aluna.

"Lun there is something we want to talk to you about" said Dwi.

"Then please enter Auntie" greeted Aluna kindly.

They all went into the house. Lila, Regi, Renol and Dwi sat in the living room. Aluna prepared a drink for the four of them. Said also came out of his room and sat down to accompany the guests tonight.

Aluna came from the kitchen with a drink. He then served it to the guests.

"Please drink Pa, Ma, Om, Aunt" Aluna said.

"I'm sorry Luna tonight - this night we came to visit your house" said Lila.

Aluna smiled kindly.

"It's okay Ma, we've become a family, no need to hesitate" Aluna said.

"Papa was happy to hear your answer. Because we are still a family we want to convey something to you" Regi said.

"What is Pa?" ask Aluna.

Regi and Renol looked at each other.

"Lun, Lila Ma'am told Auntie that she saw you with a man buying a wedding ring. You want to get married, when and with whom?" ask Dwi.

Aluna took a deep breath.

"God willing next month Aunt, I will marry Malik" replied Aluna.

"Mallik? your ex-boyfriend is of a different religion? Luuun you have no pity to see your dead Papa? You want to fight the old man's words?" ask Dwi surprised.

Aluna smiled faintly at Dwi's words.

"Malik has been converting since three years ago Auntie. It was not intentionally that we worked in an office. I met him again and found out the truth. She also knew that I was a widow and she wanted to accept me again" Aluna said.

"But Lun can his family accept you? You don't think this is gonna be easy Lun. Although Malik has converted you will have difficulty interacting with his family because they are still different religions" Welcomed.

Aluna felt that the arrival of Aunt and Omnya here seemed to be doing something that made Aluna feel upset. I don't know why Aluna's feelings so bad with the arrival of Om and Tante.

"Lun, Om will speak directly to you. Kamal had recovered from his illness and he had repented. Already a few weeks ago actually Mas Regi and Mbak Lila have invited us to come to your house but we are busy so it has not been time. They want to connect the kinship between us who broke up yesterday. Mbak Lila and Mas Regi want to re-apply you to be their daughter-in-law" Renol said.
