CEO Rescue Me!
CHAPTER 70 – CONTRACT OF MARRIAGE: IJAB KABUL
Adisti has been wearing his white kebaya from home. Graceful kebaya with an elongated back is not excessive. Her white veil seemed to be lightly floated, the back of it forming a large neat crease extending to the calf.
Father and Mother never stop saying hamdalah and dhikr when they see Adisti who is so beautiful and graceful. Agung quietly wiped the corner of his eyes that suddenly felt wet staring at his sister in a white kebaya. Many times she saw her sister sitting in the back passenger seat with Father and Mother, while she sat in the front passenger seat in the bridal car.
“Ya Allah.. kok Adek nervous like this yes. Degdegan.” Adisti cremated Mother's hand.
“Kakak too,” Agung tidying up suits
“Many dhikr and sholawat, Dek, Kak, so be calm,” advice Father.
A silver Jaguar bridal motorcade with relatives and neighbors drove to The Cliff, Lembang. The journey was smooth as there was a guard patrol car that opened the road ahead. Only at a few points on Setiabudhi and Ledeng Street did they falter.
The bridal car stopped entering The Cliff right in front of a large silver white tent with a slightly purple accent. While the other car went straight to the parking lot that was deliberately rented by B group, the land next to The Cliff.
The Wedding Organizer directly directs Adisti, Mother and female relatives to the special room of women, there Mommy, Layla and female relatives stand to welcome him. While Father and Supreme along with male relatives went straight to the stage of the marriage contract. Bramasta, Daddy, Leon, Anton, Hans and Pak Dhani stood up to greet them.
There were no formal words of welcome from either side of the family on stage due to the tight timing. The host invited Qori to take the stage. The chanting of the holy verse al Qur’an is echoed. Qori read al-Fatiha's letter as an opening according to the meaning of the letter's name. Then Qori read the letter of An Nisaa verse 1 which discusses marriage and married life. Followed by the letter Ar Rum verse 21 which discusses blessings in marriage. And it ends with al Baqarah verses 285-286 as the guardian and protector of man from all evil.
Adisti shed tears upon hearing the Qori reading. Mommy pats Adisti's hand, Mommy caresses Adisti's back and Layla puts tissue on Adisti.
“If the makeup is waterproof, carefully wipe her tears,” Layla whispered.
Adisti nodded as he slowly pressed the tissue on the end of his eye.
After the recitation of the holy verse along with the sari tilawahnya, the MC handed the event to the penghulu. Penghulu gave a sermon that contains the provision of household life as well as the priority of marriage in Islam. The parents are not too old. But from the look of his face and the look of his eyes looks wise and humorous.
Before the kabul ijab was done, Mr. Penghulu gave instructions to Father, Bramasta and witnesses from both families. He recorded the dowry that would later be given in the marriage book of the groom and the bride.
Bramasta whispered something to Mr. Penghulu. Mr. Penghulu.
“Nak Bramasta can?” tanyakanya.
“Insyaa Allah, Sir,” Bramasta replied steadily.
“This as a dowry or as a gift outside the dowry?” ask Mr. Penghulu again.
“As one of the dowries I will give to my wife, Sir.”
“Masyaa Allah..” Mr Penghulu looks at Bramasta's face with admiration and respect, “Nak Bramasta knows the meaning of giving the dowry?”
Bramasta nodded surely and smiled.
“Alright, I noted first yes,” Mr. Penghulu listed it on the marriage book.
Then make a small note on a piece of paper and give it to Dad to read later as a marriage guardian.
Mr. Penghulu cleared his throat.
“We start core event yes. The marriage guardian of the bride is her own father namely, Mr. Gumilar.”
Dad nodded, “Insyaa Allah.”
“The testimony of the bride is her husband, the older brother of Mr. Gumilar, Mr. Atep Saepuloh and the witness of the groom is his uncle, the younger cousin of Mr. Sanjaya, Faizan Arhan. Right?”
Both nod, “Betul. Insyaa Allah.”
“Good.. Please the marriage guardian shake the groom's hand. Mr. Gumilar and Nak Bramasta,” Mr. Penghulu directing.
“Bismilbornrahmaanirraahiim. I marry you, ananda Bramasta Reynard Sanjaya bin Alwin Ahsanu Sanjaya with my son Adisti Maharani bint Gumilar with his dowry in the form of a set of prayer tools, a set of diamond jewelry and ..” Father paused for a moment to swallow his saliva because his neck felt choked, “Hafalan Al Qur’an letter Ar Rahman, cash.”
“I received his marriage and his marriage Adisti Maharani bint Gumilar with his dowry, in cash,” Bramasta said it clearly without hurry.
“Witnesses, how?” ask Mr. Penghulu.
“Sah!” call the witnesses and the audience.
“Alhamdulilbornrobbil ‘aalamiin,” says Mr. Penghulu. Then Mr. Penghulu started reading do’a marriage contract, “Barakallahu laka wa baarakaa alaika wa jamaa bainakumaa fii khoir_May Allah bless you, both in joy and sorrow and always gather you both on kindness.”
Bramasta and Dad rubbed his face while saying hamdalah. Bramasta took a tissue on the table. Rubbed his eyes. Back's shaking. She was crying haru. Daddy grabbed him from behind.
Dad looked at Bramasta with sparkling eyes and a smile. Mr. Penghulu nodded with a smile on his back while looking at Bramasta.
“Please bring the two brides together,” said Mr. Penghulu.
Adisti accompanied by Mother and Mommy walked to the stage. Adisti walked with bowed eyes, not daring to stare at everyone especially Bramasta. His heart is beating fast.
Bramasta glanced at him. I was impressed with Adisti's performance. More than just beautiful. More than just graceful. The perfect image for the angel in his mind. He has found the angel of his heart and has now become his heavenly angel.
A WO officer attached a microphone clip to a white enclosure that Bramasta wore. The microphone clip is attached. Also on the hood Adisti. Bramasta straightened his body.
“Ananda Bramasta, right the one sitting next to Ananda is Ananda's wife? Adisti Maharani?” Mr. Penghulu smiles seductively, “Try to be looked at again, maybe wrong people.”
Audience laughs. Bramasta looked at Adisti timidly. Adisti bowed shyly.
“His head is down, sir. Not clearly visible,” replied Bramasta with a smile.
The audience laughed again.
“Ananda Adisti tries to show her face to her husband. Don't keep bowing.” Mr. Penghulu this time teasing Adisti.
“Well now how, Ananda Bramasta?”
“Mirip Adisti. But it's different. Very pretty.”
The audience is boisterous again.
“So before Adisti just beautiful regular?” ask Mr. Penghulu.
“Ngak.. She was always beautiful to me. The most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Beautiful face and heart, beautiful mind pekertinya, and most importantly sholihah,” Bramasta replied smoothly. Adisti's cheeks are red. He's getting embarrassed.
“Masyaa Allah. apparently Ananda Bramasta is good at seducing.”.
The audience laughed again.
“Not seduction, Sir. But it is so there is an Adisti for me.”
“Waduh.. This woman can melt her heart nih... Strengthen your hearts, ladies, remember, Adisti Maharani is a black belt taekwondo. The video of his twisting kick went viral. And I am one of his impromptu fans,” Mr. Penghulu chuckles.
Guyonan Mr. Penghulu surprises the couple. Bramasta and Adisti's previously tense faces now laugh with the audience.
“Ananda Adisti, right the guy next to Ananda is Bramasta Reynard Sanjaya?” ask Mr. Penghulu.
Adisti glanced briefly at his side. He saw Bramasta smiling at him. Adisti is back.
“I just found out my husband's middle name, Sir.” replied Adisti.
“Loh, Ananda Bramasta never told?” Mr. Penghulu looked at Bramasta and Adisti alternately with confused faces.
“It seems like it hasn't been there yet, sir. After all I rarely use my middle name except for formal things like this,” Bramasta explains while occasionally looking at Adisti next to him.
“Ananda Adisti why don't you dare look at her husband? Kok keep his head down and just glance at the lyrics?” ask Mr. Penghulu.
“Gugup, Sir. My husband is handsome. I became more stubborn.” replied Adisti.
Audience laughs.
“Masyaa Allah.. apparently I am facing an acute bucino couple,” Mr. Penghulu chuckles loudly, “Can I get diabetes after this event. You two are so sweet.”
The audience grew increasingly boisterous and there were even applauds.
“Ya already, you signed the marriage book.”
