Zahwa My wife

Chapter 182

After they finished preparing all the application equipment, they rushed to get ready to perform Magrib prayers, and after the Magrib prayer congregation at the mosque was finished then they again prepared themselves to go to the application event.

"Rey, you're wearing this shirt, baby." Mama Rita gave a long-sleeved and batik-patterned shirt to Reyhan, the color looks so soft.

"I'm just wearing this one ma." Reyhan replied while showing him the black shirt in his hand.

"Not only this one, dear, let it be in line with the others." Mama Rita said.

Reyhan was also seen to pay attention to the clothes worn by his mother, and he also saw that the color of his clothes was the same but Rita's clothes look brighter in color. Reyhan also took the clothes in his mother's hand and agreed to wear the clothes given to him.

Rangga and Nazwa are still seen inserting boxes containing prayer equipment to cakes and also fruits into the trunk of the car, assisted by Umi and Abi Nazwa, the group said, when all is done, they prepare to leave.

"Rey, you're behind ya, let papa drive." Papa Reyhan.

"Let Reyhan be pa." Answer Reyhan.

"It's okay, you're behind me, papa again kepen kepengen ni, you must also be tired right, drive from Jakarta to here?" Reply papa.

"Yes it's pa." Reyhan replied that he still felt a little tired, and only returned a smile by his father.

They all left and left the cottage yard to the residence of the prospective woman who will be pinang.

The car continued to run towards the neighboring village, Reyhan's feelings began to be uneasy because he remembered the road to Aisyah's house-in-law, but he still looked cute and silent, but he was still silent, but when the car began to stop in the yard last month he had visited almost every day, then Reyhan looked riled up and began to think guess.

In his heart he wondered who would be asked? Or are they just stopping by to pick someone up from the house to go and propose, or there are other important things.

"Let's get down Rey." His visible voice began to rush down from the car. Reyhan was still silent.

"Rey, let's go down, baby." Mama Rita surprises Reyhan whom she sees daydreaming.

Reyhan immediately got out of the car, and when he saw the others had brought the equipment, Reyhan only realized that they had arrived at the place to be proposed. But, again Reyhan thought hard, who will be proposed and who will propose.

Reyhan thought Aisyah would be the one to apply? If it was true, it meant that he really had to sincerely let go of it and assume it was fate that they were not matchmakers. But if someone else is asked, then who is that person? Because of Reyhan's reminder, Nadia no longer has a younger sister or a boy.

And Reyhan still has one big question mark, which is who will propose? Because it is impossible that the applicant is already in there, while they are bringing it.

"Rey, come on, son." Tell his mother again.

Reyhan realized from his daydream, he became confused to see everyone seemed to be watching him with a smile.

As he was almost at the door, Aisyah's father-in-law came out and greeted them with a smile. At that moment Reyhan looked panicked, sweat began to wet his forehead, he recalled all the events at that time.

"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Abi Nazwa said the first greeting.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Replied the middle-aged man who was already standing in the doorway with a smile welcoming them.

After everything was done shaking hands with each other, now it was Reyhan's turn to shake hands with Agra's grandfather his student first. Recalling all the events of the other day, Reyhan was hesitant, he was seen just staring, until finally his papa reawakened him from daydreaming.

"Rey." Her father held Reyhan's shoulder and signaled to Reyhan to greet Nadia's father.

Reyhan approached and extended his hand to shake his hand, and when the hands of both of them were already shaking hands with each other, Nadia threw a smile at Reyhan, then she clasped Reyhan's hand with both hands. There were no words spoken from the two, only throwing smiles at each other, but Reyhan's feelings at that time were very chaotic.

They were invited in, and sat in the living room that seemed to have been roomy because there were no more chairs or sofas that Reyhan used to see in the room, he said, just stretched a wide rug that seemed to be deliberately prepared so that everyone could sit together. There also saw the Word and also the two parents of Aisha who welcomed their arrival.

Moments later, after everyone had gathered and sat in the room, Aisyah came out with a smiling Nadia walking closer to the room where everyone was gathered. Aisyah seems to be wearing clothes that match Reyhan, and also simple makeup but can make it more beautiful, Aisyah and Nadia are also seen sitting there with the others.

Reyhan was amazed by the appearance of Aisyah who was in front of him, his heart felt beating faster and could not be controlled, could not be lied to that he was still very much expecting Aisyah, but when he remembered Aisyah's words at that time, then all hope was lost, Reyhan's face looked gloomy, at once he immediately lowered his gaze.

The stronger Reyhan's assumption that Aisyah will be proposed, now she really tries to take off her women for the umpteenth time. But there is still one thing that questions Reyhan, who is the man who will propose Aisyah, because he had not seen it before, and why do you think his family should be present at Aisyah's proposal event?

Reyhan's mood was already sultry, wanting to feel like he was leaving, and there was no need to watch the proposal that would make him hurt, he said, but because the event was about to start with a conversation between his father and Aisyah's biological father who was also present there, he finally decided to stay there, and find out who's going to propose to Aisha.

Papa Reyhan's conversation was already at length and said their needs to the house, but Reyhan still thinks who the man who will propose Aisyah because until now has not come, until he finally heard his father say, that their purpose in coming to the house was to propose Aisyah to his son, Reyhan.

When Reyhan was surprised, his face looked like a confused person, he asked in his heart, is his papa not speaking wrongly? Then he asked his father not to misunderstand what he had just heard.

"What do you mean?" Reyhan asked stammeredly.

"Applying Aisyah, for you Rey. to be your wife." Answer her father with a smile.

Reyhan was again shocked in disbelief, Aisyah's words when it came back as if it sounded in his ears, really he did not want the incident to repeat for the second time, he said, his exit would definitely be embarrassed he thought if Aisyah rejected the proposal and did the same in front of her parents. Reyhan seemed to rise from his seat, and he tried to take Papa and the others away from the house.

"Pa, ma, let's go." Reyhan said as he strode towards the door. But quickly Rangga got up and tried to prevent it.

Meanwhile, the others were no less surprised by Reyhan's attitude, they all got up and tried to prevent Reyhan. But unlike papa Nadia and others, they are not surprised if Reyhan's attitude like that, because what Aisyah did must still be imprinted in Reyhan's memory.

Aisyah seemed to approach and embrace Nadia, her tears seemed to come out considering her actions to Reyhan at that time, really she knew very well that her rude attitude at that time made Reyhan's attitude become what it is today.

"Why, why do all this, you want to be embarrassed, I beg you not to embarrass yourself. Pa, ma, let's go." Reyhan said again, and his eyes began to glaze over, indeed he did not want the pain and also the shame he felt at that time, will be felt by both parents also today.

Papa Nadia is seen stepping up and approaching Reyhan.

"Son Reyhan." Said slowly.

Reyhan looked at the middle-aged man who called his name, and as Papa Nadia got closer, Reyhan turned his face and lowered his head, really he did not want any bad words to be heard coming out of the man who approached him.

"Son, on behalf of my extended family, please forgive me and also my daughter-in-law for Aisyah's rude behavior that day." Papa Nadia said, he was Reyhan's arm, and pulled her slowly to face him, and after they faced each other he spoke again.

"I know, my daughter-in-law Aisyah actually likes you, but because of her respect for me, she hid her feelings, until she was rude to you at that time. Actually since your first arrival to this house, I have disliked you, because I saw Aisyah who already looks familiar to you, it made me angry, it made me, my love and affection for my late son made me dark in the eyes and too constrained Aisyah, because I did not want my son to lose his wife, when he returned later." Papa Nadia's tears could not stand when she remembered her late son.

"But, my daughter Nadia was right, I thought too much about my family's happiness, until I didn't realize that Aisyah was suffering in this house and was a victim of my selfishness. From that moment on, I tried to make peace with fate and to accept the fact that my son was dead in this world." Tears started crying profusely, papa Nadia lowered her head while wiping away her tears.

Reyhan who has since been seen silent and listening to the words of men who are the same age as his father was also feeling pity, and also began to look teary.

"Regardless of my hate because you like Aisyah, I actually can't lie that I actually like you too. You're a good man, you look responsible, you're a polite man too, I love it when you're with my granddaughter and make her laugh cheerfully, but sometimes when I think of my son, I think of him, who also loved his nephew very much, I was afraid, I was afraid you took away the happiness of this house." Reyhan was still not budged, his heart began to melt, the reason for the restraint of Aisyah was beginning to be known, and in essence papa Nadia was just afraid that her happiness would disappear like the loss of her son's life.

"But today I'm crying about all my fears, I'm aware that my son is gone, I'm going to let Aisyah my daughter-in-law know for you, you're a good and responsible man, you know, you can definitely take care of her, I'm sure Aisyah will also be happy with you. I will be more tormented and will not escape my fear if I continue to force to want this me." Papa Nadia said again.

Papa Nadia was getting closer to Reyhan, he clapped his hands slowly over Reyhan's shoulders, he looked Reyhan in the eyes fixedly, he apologizes to Reyhan and pleads with Reyhan to accept Aisyah, knowing that Aisyah has fallen in love with Reyhan.

Reyhan who is still very loving and expects Aisyah was brushed off to the selfishness of his heart, accepted Papa Nadia's apology and he accepted Aisyah to be his future wife that night.

"I beg you, forgive me also Aisha. And accept that he be your life partner, son." Papa Nadia.

"Yes, I have forgiven you, and I will also accept Aisha to be my wife." Reyhan replied with a happy heart but tears of happiness.

"Please promise me you'll make her happy, and never leave her, she'll be like my own daughter, I love her so much."

"I promise, I'll try to make her happy, and keep her." Answer Reyhan.

Everyone seemed happy and happy to hear it, their eyes also joined in tears watching the conversation between Papa Nadia and Reyhan, to the two parents Aisyah was no less happy, too, the daughter they love is finally free and will live her new life normally.

The night was also finally immediately determined when the wedding date between Reyhan and Aisyah will be done, and after deliberations, all agreed that two days after the application will be carried out a simple kabul ijab at the residence of Papa Nadia at his request, after returning to Jakarta then they will do a massive Reception in the building.

* * *

After doing the kabul ijab, Reyhan who immediately brought Aisyah to Jakarta to esokan the day also tried to ask for an explanation to his wife and also to his two parents, because until now, because until now, he had been trying to explain, he was still confused how suddenly his parents prepared a proposal without his knowledge, even though he had never told Aisyah to his two parents, even to Rangga and Nazwa.

Aisyah also began to tell stories, starting from Nadia's quarrel with her father, until Arga's dream came to her ex-husband in her father's dream, and asked her father to let her go, until Nadia's apology to her and her parents, Nadia's father comes to Abi Nazwa for help in finding Reyhan, because he knows Aisyah is still expecting Reyhan.

And after Aisyah finished telling everything, Reyhan's mother also shared how they could take the initiative to prepare for the application without Reyhan's knowledge.

Reyhan's strange events are often unintentionally seen by his father, and the story of Abi Nazwa who deliberately called to tell what was said by father Nadia, who was, making both parents know what really happened, and the cause of Reyhan's cold attitude after returning from Nazwa village.

Reyhan's parents and Aisyah's family finally agreed to prepare a proposal event with the help of Rangga and Nazwa, meanwhile in Nazwa village, Ustaz Zakaria who became the intermediary and tongue connector between Reyhan's parents and Aisyah's family. Of course, with Aisyah's consent first.

Secretly, Rita's mother was helped by Nazwa and Rangga bought the application equipment, ranging from the ring to other handouts, and tried to hide it from Reyhan, who was not involved in the incident, because from the beginning they wanted to make this all a surprise for Reyhan, although initially Reyhan like not accepting their way, but eventually ended with happiness

"Well, that's how Rey's story is." Said Mama Rita who had long told her favorite son when they gathered in the family room.

"You happy Rey?" Ask papa. And the one asked smiled shyly and naturally looked flushed.

"Pa, mah, Reyhan is grateful for all this. Reyhan happy pa, Reyhan happy ma." Reyhan said with a shy smile, he embraced his wife Aisyah who was sitting next to him.

"Rangga, Nazwa, mas also thank you for your hard work." Reyhan.

"Together, we should have helped each other." Reply Rangga. "Oh, yeah so who among us is going on our honeymoon in the new house?" Suddenly the question was thrown by Rangga, making Nazwa surprised to hear the words of her husband.

"It looks like you're the honeymooners in that new house." Reyhan.

"Serious mas?" Tanya Rangga did not believe, because they fought over who would first honeymoon in the house.

"Yes, even though you will be the first honeymoon in the house, but you have already occupied it even though you are alone." Reyhan replied with a happy laugh as he felt victorious.

"The cheater." Reply Rangga.

"Sir dong. Actually the atmosphere there is very calm and pleasant, but I want to bring Aisyah to Bali only after the reception, so it is more romantic that the streets on the beach." Reyhan replied as he gently pinched his wife's nose.

Aisyah looked embarrassed to hear her husband's words, her face looked reddish and she hid her face with a little down, while the two Reyhan's parents seemed to laugh happily at the behavior of their children.
