Being Married to My First Love
Khitbah Cancellation

Cindy's third day is home. He is currently resting in his room. Although it has been allowed to go home but Cindy is not allowed to do strenuous activities. Luckily Dr. Dimas did not remove him from the clinic, because he could not leave work for a long time, which is likely more than two weeks since he felt pain in his stomach, until the next week. Instead Dimas gave permission to Cindy, to take leave until he was able to work again.

Dimas had visited Cindy after Ummi Aini. Dimas knows the condition of Cindy from his best friend Dr. Anung, who is also an obstetrician who handles Cindy. Cindy was also operated on at the hospital where Dimas worked. As his boss at the clinic, Dimas took the time to visit him during the break. And on the night that Cindy was in operation Dimas attended and had met Cindy's future husband, Fadhil.

Today is the schedule of Umar's return from the pesantren. Usually Cindy picks up, but because Cindy is sick this time Abi is the one who picks up. Cindy who felt sad for continuing to be in the room finally came out and intended to find fresh air in her yard. Cindy sat on a bench made from bamboo in an elongated arrangement. The bench is located under a shady mango tree.

The breeze at that time made a long stay there. Not long after, I saw Abi coming on his motorcycle. Cindy looked astonished at her brother, for it did not appear that his sister Umar was participating.

'Lantas where Umar is!' inner Cindy.

"Bi, who's alone, where's Umar?" ask Cindy .

Abi approached, then Cindy salim on her ashes, "It will be soon."

"I mean, Umar went home alone? Up what?" ask Cindy who's starting to be surprised.

"Send by son Fadhil, it's them coming!" abi said while pointing towards the road that showed Fadhil's car emerging from the end of the alley.

Cindy's eyes followed in the direction indicated by her ashes. Sure enough he could see Fadhil's car slowly entering Cindy's yard.

Cindy is a little surprised, with Fadhil coming to her house. He then remembered at Ummi Aini's request to cancel his wedding plans.

'It just so happened that Fadhil came here, maybe this is the right time to say it!' the Cindy in my heart.

Umar and Fadhil get out of the car. Umar ran to Cindy.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma'am," said Umar while thrusting his hand in front of Cindy to salim.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," Cindy welcomed him.

"Sir, he said he was sick? What pain?" ask Umar.

"Yes, it hurts in the stomach, now it's okay. Go and meet Ummi first" Cindy said. Umar also according.

"Son Fadil, you stay inside first huh?" abi said.

"Yes, Sir. Mongos!" answer Fadhil.

"Cin, bring in son Fadhil to the living room," said Abi who was nodded by Cindy.

Now Fadhil and Cindy are in the yard.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Deck. How are you doing now?" fadhil told Cindy.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Mas. Alhamdulillah has gone. Let's just go inside, Mas," Cindy.

Fadhil nodded then walked first into the house happily. In his shadow in a moment he will be part of the family members in this house after performing ijab qobul with Cindy.

Fadhil and Cindy then sit on different living room couches and keep some distance. They know the limits, even though they want to marry they are not allowed to be close together because there is no legitimate bond.

Ummi came with two cups of tea and a plate of cake for a snack.

"Let's have Fadhil in his tea. Same cake at the meal. Sorry, yes, so it is," said Ummi who invited Fadhil to enjoy the dishes.

"Current, Ma. No need to bother, mature suwun," said Fadhil thank you.

"No hassle, son. Ummi stayed back, " ummi then went back to the kitchen, leaving them both.

"Diminum first, Mas," Cindy said.

"Yes, Deck," Fadhil took the cup in front of him and sipped it slowly.

After that, Fadhil put his cup back on the table.

"Em.I came here to ask you, Dek. About the deck Cindy wants what dowry for her wedding later, so I can prepare from now on" said Fadhil with occasional glances towards Cindy and then back to lower his gaze.

Cindy paused for a moment to ponder how appropriate to say the abrogation of the sermon. He glanced briefly at Fadhil to confirm the whereabouts of the man in front of him.

'Mas Fadhil seems to have been steady to continue this marriage despite knowing my shortcomings. Fadhil is a good man. However, it seems that you are indeed not my soul mate, Mas. You will definitely consider me a despicable woman for breaking the promise to receive your sermon. However, all of this is for the good of you and your family, Mas, ' Cindy murmured inwardly.

"Previously, please forgive me, Mom. I can't marry you, Mom. I want to cancel our wedding plans. Oh yes, this is the ring that Ummi Aini once gave me, to you, Mas" Cindy said as she removed the ring that had been coiled on her ring finger, then put it on the table in front of Fadhil.

Fadhil turned to Cindy. His eyes were round and his mouth slightly opened to his surprise. He wanted to ascertain the truth of what he heard from the words of the woman beside him.

"I'm not the right woman for you, Mom. And there are still a lot of women out there who are much better than me. You are too perfect, and I have many flaws. I'm not the woman you are, Mom. I'm not the right match for you!" cindy said with her sobs.

Hearing like there was a commotion Abi and Ummi then approached to the living room.

"What's this?" abi asked curiously as soon as he saw his daughter crying and saw the tension on the look on the face of his future daughter-in-law.

Ummi then sat down beside Cindy and grabbed her.

"What's up, Nduk?" ummi was very worried about her daughter.

"Please ask the child, Father. I don't understand why Cindy's deck suddenly wants to cancel this wedding plan" Fadhil said.

"Cancel the wedding!?" exclaimed Abi turned towards Cindy with her shock.

Abi then sat himself in the chair in front of Fadhil. He is seen rubbing his face rough with one of his palms then holding his chin.

"What's Cindy? You didn't even say anything to Abi before. Why do you suddenly want to cancel your wedding plans with son Fadhil?" ask Abi.

"It's been Cindy's thinking since yesterday, Bi, please Abi and Ummi agree to Cindy's decision," Cindy assures her parents, "I'm sorry Cindy, Mas. Cindy's decision is unanimous. Cindy beg Mas Fadhil to embrace my decision. From this very second Mas Fadhil was free to intertwine ta'aruf with other women, because Cindy had already cancelled the sermon mas Fadhil."

Everyone in the room seemed shocked and confused by the situation.

Cindy got up from her seat and slowly walked into her room with tears. He was crying behind the closed door.

"Cindy, please explain what really happened to Ummi, son. Don't make decisions rashly. We can talk about this all right, Cindy," exclaimed ummi behind Cindy's bedroom door.

"No, Ummi. Cindy's decision cannot be changed anymore. Please let Cindy rest, Ummi. Cindy was tired and wanted to sleep!" cindy from the inside.

Ummi reluctantly allows Cindy to calm down first, she then returns to the living room to meet her husband and Fadhil.

"Son Fadhil, I'm sorry Ummi also doesn't understand why Cindy suddenly like that. Cindy had never said anything about this before, Ummi," Ummi said as she sat on the sofa.

Fadhil looked at the ummhimanya Cindy with sadness. Then take his breath.

"Son Fadhil should go home first, later we will try to persuade Cindy if she is calm and feels better" Abi told Fadhil.

"All right, Mum. Please leave first. I apologize if I accidentally made a mistake. I hope Cindy's deck doesn't cancel this wedding plan. Assalamu'alaikum," Fadhil took the ring returned by Cindy and put it in his pants pocket.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," said ummi and abi together.

After shaking hands with her brother Cindy Fadhil left the house immediately.

****

Fadhil returned to his home in disappointment. He feels that he is compatible with Cindy and her family. Of the many ta'aruf CVs he received from former students and also members of young women in the study, he prefers to ta'aruf with Cindy.

Fadhil had seen Cindy several times while picking up Umar at the boarding school. So that when his brother, Ustadz Maulana, showed a photo of a child from his best friend to be paired with him, he immediately agreed to it when he saw the woman in the photo was Cindy.

However, what power. Cindy, who had originally received her sermon, suddenly wanted to cancel it. A feeling of sadness and curiosity lodged in his mind. To make him moody and daydream in the living room of his house.

"Home home, Dhil. Where the hell is it?" tanya ummi Aini who just appeared from the kitchen.

"Ekhm.from Cindy's house, Ummi," replied Fadhil with his flat face.

"You visited her?" ask ummi Aini.

"Yes, Ummi," replied Fadhil briefly without any appetite for conversation.

'From his heart, Fadhil seemed to be feeling sad. Is it possible that Cindy canceled the sermon?' inner ummi Aini wonders.

"Had something happened, Le?" ask ummi Aini to her son.

"Cindy, cancel the sermon of Fadhil, Ummi!" fadhil Lirih replied then his back leaned against the back of the sofa, while closing his eyes that looked damp in the eye patch.

Ummi Aini felt pity and was very guilty about the situation of his second son. He could see the deep sadness in Fadhil's eyes as a result of the abrogation of the sermon from Cindy. However, this is the best way he thinks, for the sake of his son's better future.
