Competing Love With Ustadz
Qabultu

Adnan arrived at the pesantren at dawn with his parents. Even so, the atmosphere of the pesantren has been so crowded with santri activities that are preparing to perform dawn prayers, while some other santri are fervently carrying out sunnah prayers and reading the Qur'an. Seeing it all makes Adnan so long for the times he served in the pesantren for many years.

He took a deep breath when he remembered he had to leave the boarding school he had considered his second home because of his love affair with Faza, although he had sincerely let go of Faza. But the remnants of taste have not disappeared completely.

"Astaghfirullahhaladzim." - Adnan closed his eyes to dismiss his memory of Faza. But he did not open his eyes again. Adnan was startled by a familiar voice in his ears.

"Finame..."

"Sir Kiai, Assalamualaikum." Adnan immediately greeted Mr. Kiai and kissed his hand with ta'dzim.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. You just came?"

"Yes Mr. Kiai, we have just come this has not been anywhere," said Adnan turned to his left right to see his parents flanking him.

"How are you, Mr. Kiai?" ask Rudi.

"Alhamdulillah, How are Mr Rudi and Ms Nisa?"

"Thank God we are good too."

"Then let's go home, you and your mother's father can take a bath before the dawn prayer."

"E... No Mr. Kiai, We're at Ustadz Azmi's house only, Or at the dormitory is also not papa, Yes Well, Mom?"

"That's right Mr. Kiai, we don't want to trouble."

"Absolutely do not feel bothered Mr. Rudi, No matter mari-mari..."

Adnan was forced to nod and follow his parents who first stepped following Pak Kiai. His heart was so pounding as soon as he entered the door of Pak Kiai's house that for quite a long time he no longer set foot there. He who should be on that happy day, now must be willing to be an invited guest only.

Adnan was instantly petrified when he saw Faza coming out from the inside with his Ummi. The feeling of love that he had once felt had not completely disappeared from his heart. Likewise with Faza who looks awkward to see Adnan and his parents. After all, they were long enough to be on good terms and even almost married.

Ummi who saw Faza just silently elbowed Faza to greet both Adnan's parents.

"E... Assalamualaikum Mr. Rudi, Miss Nisa, how are you?"

"Alhamdulillah Nak Faza's. How are you?"

"Thank God be good too, E.. Ustadz Adnan how are you?" asked Faza who felt so awkward.

"I'm also good, Congratulations on your marriage, May it be launched without any obstacles."

"Aamiin, Thank you Do'a, May Ustadz also soon be found with the best mate according to Allah SWT."

"Aamiin's." Adnan lowered his head, As hard as he hid the tightness in his chest from both his parents and also the entire Faza family who had also gathered to welcome his arrival.

Finally, the time that was waited for by the two brides just waited for a few more hours to reach Akad.

The entire Zayn family had also arrived at the bride's residence.

Zayn who was wearing an all-white jasko stellan with white skullcap was seen increasingly emitting an aura of good looks.

With his twin brother in tow, Zayn steps down from his car parked in the boarding school.

"Assalamualaikum, welcome Mr. Faraz." Welcome Mr. Kiai who humbly welcomes his iron candidate.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Thank you Mr. Kiai."

Mr. Kiai served the entire Faraz family with no exception to his two sons who also welcomed them.

"Oh yes introduce, He's Hasan and Husain Faza's older brother."

With a friendly smile they shake hands with each other.

"Are they twins too?" ask Faraz.

"No, they were born one and a half years apart."

"Oh yeah, well, they look like twins."

"So this is gonna be Faza's husband?" ask Hasan.

"Yes Gus." said Zayn.

"Hasan don't Su'udzon." reprimanded Mr. Kiai.

"God willing, it's not Gus, Although our faces are similar, But our nature and character are much different, Ning Faza will have no trouble distinguishing us." explained Zayn.

"Well continue the conversation later, let's go inside."

Zayn nodded and stepped closer to Akad's table which looked empty.

"Sit down Zayn" said Zayd, patting his twin brother on the shoulder.

Zayn obediently prepared to sit down. But he had not had time to sit down, Zayn who saw Penghulu came to be so tense.

"Calm down Zayn" said Faraz rubbing his back.

"Pull a deep breath out slowly, Remember your main goal, You want to marry Faza, So keep him in mind. Don't let you give up this opportunity and go back to failing to get it." Faraz continued.

"Model lost and former Casanova can also be nervous, Hahahaha" Bimo who just came to whisper his ridicule to his best friend.

"Bimo!" Zayn who felt indignant had to hold back his anger because he saw Penghulu who had arrived before him.

Bimo just chuckled and sat down in the guest chair.

"Please sit down" said Mr. Kiai let everyone sit in their respective chairs.

Adnan and his parents were also in the guest chair with other important guests. Even though his heart was so restless but for the sake of his ta'dzim to Pak Kiai Adnan must still watch his former fiancee marry another man in front of his eyes.

"Calm down, Son, Believe in God, You will later get a soul mate that relaxes the heart and cools the eyes when you look at him," said Rudi clasped his son's hand.

"Aamiin thank you Dad."

They looked back to the front as Pak Kiai prepared to marry his biological daughter directly without intermediaries.

With a tense Zayn shook the hand of Mr. Kiai who began to recite the memorization of the ijab.

أنكحتك وزوجتك مخطوبتك بنتي…. علىالمهر…. حالا

Ankahtuka wazawwajtuka makhtubataka bint Faza Aishaqila alal mahri the holy book of the Qur'an and cash of 100,322 dirham hallan.

It means: "I marry thee, and I marry thee with thy proposal, My daughter Faza Aishaqila with the dowry of the holy book of the Qur'an and the cash of 100,322 dirhams paid in cash"

Zayn smoothly recited the pronunciation of the qabul with one breath.

قبلت نكاحها وتزويجها على المهر المذكور ورضيت بهى والله ولي التوفيق

Qabiltu nikahaha wa tazwijaha alal mahril madzkur wa radhiitu bihi, wallahu waliyu taufiq

It means: "I received his marriage and married him with the dowry mentioned, and I am willing to do so. May God always give you grace"

Faza who had been waiting in his room with anxious feelings immediately prostrated himself with gratitude upon hearing the word SAH from the witnesses and invited guests present.

"Alhamdulillah nduk, you have officially become Zayn's wife" said Ummi who has been accompanying Faza.

"Alhamdulillah Ummi." with Haru crying, Faza hugged Umminya.

"Congratulations Ning" said Anna, who also accompanied Faza during the procession.

"Thank you Ma'am." Faza hugged Anna, whom he considered to be his own sister.

"Later crying, your husband can't wait to see his newly married wife" said Husain, who picked up Faza in his room.

Faza broke down his embrace and wiped away his tears.

"Let's go out" said Ummi.

Faza nodded and walked out of the room for the next procession.

Seriate.
