Two weeks had passed after the day that Zahara and Salma were dikhitbah, exactly three days after that also Salma gave an answer to Lukman's proposal to him. Salma steadily received a proposal from Lukman thanks to the support of his friend Zahara plus an answer from God who increasingly made himself steady to accept the proposal.
Now, exactly according to the agreement and agreement of the family, finally the wedding is done on the same day. A sweet and timid smile emanated from each of the brides trying to steal a glance.
With a bowed face and a smile, Zahara holds both hands on her lap, occasionally stealing the view of the man who now sits beside her wearing a traditional Gayo wedding dress. The traditional clothes decorate Zein's body with a tray on his head. Until, looks dashing aura and charisma from Zein. Zein, who noticed Zahara's gaze, looked back at Zahara and managed to surprise her and take her eyes back.
Zein smiled amusedly at the behavior of the woman who is now his wife “Not to be shy, I have become yours as whole” whispered Zein ketelinga Zahara
Zahara smiled when she heard the words from Zein who was now her husband. The man she never dreamed of being this close to her would now be her husband and sit next to him.
With a silent movement, Zein grabbed Zahara's hand and grasped him tightly from the many people who were now looking at them like kings and queens sitting there. Zahara was shocked and felt uneasy because many people in front of them tried to reject the hand of Zein who still tried to hold his hand.
“Just a minute my wife” said Zein staring at Zahara managed to stop Zahara's refusal
Zahara was actually made awkward and embarrassed by Zein. As a result, Zahara only let Zein hold his hand secretly. Although, repeatedly will take off their grasp if there are invited guests who will congratulate them both. Zein often steals the opportunity to get close to Zahara, starting from closing his arms, shaking Zahara's hand and stealing the view of the woman who is now his wife.
“Congratulations Zein”ucap someone whose voice is well known to Zahara
“Olo dongan (Yes a friend in Batak) you also quickly followed ya”, Zein told Salman to embrace him closely
“Congratulations Zahar”, Salman said back to the bride
Salman stood for a moment looking at Zahara without looking at Zein.
“Her clothes fit you Zahara..bagus” Salman said.
“ya is... Beautiful is my wife?” zein whispered to Salman but was still heard clearly by Zahara
“Iya gorgeous” said Salman after seeing Zein and looking fixed Zahara with a sad look
Zahara only smiled shyly in response to the conversation of these two friends.
“Congratulations dongan.tinggal I alone” said Salman with a little laugh while embracing his friend.
Lukman laughed at the embrace of his comrades-in-arms.
“Ikhlasin alone” whispered Lukman without removing the embrace of Salman and patting Salman on the back.
Salman who received such treatment, finally realized that his friend this one indeed could not he lied. Lukman is very good at reading facial expressions and situations that he is facing.
“Sakinah Mawaddah Warahmah for you both yah” said Salman looked at the two of them alternately and passed leaving them both.
‘may you be happy Zahar’ Inner Salman looks at Zahara who is now smiling shyly with a clasped hand Zein.
‘If I were there, Salman's inner’ would come back when he saw Zahara's face for the last time with Gayo's customary wedding attire. The clothes increasingly exuded the ayu and graceful face of Zahara.
“Astagfirullah” Salman mentioned after realizing the contents of his mind and again stepped away from the wedding venue which is now underway.
The time has shown at six in the afternoon, the invited guests who come have reduced and go home each. As a result, the two brides left their stop and stepped into the bridal room that had been provided. Lukamn and Salma stepped towards Salma's house as well as Zahara and Zein, they both stepped into Zahara's house.
Likewise, at the request and advice of Zahara's mother, the two of them will stay at Zahara's house and do not need to go out to build let alone rent a house for them to live together considering that Zahara's mother only lives alone. Meanwhile, Lukman and Salma agreed to move to the place where Lukman lived for a while after Salman left there.
Lukman and Zein have repeatedly persuaded Salman not to go back to his hometown. They are both married and Salman is not. However, the business they have built all three during this time will still be managed as usual with the same benefits for the average.
“We've been sharing our income all this time. You two use it for dowry and I use it to return home, I haven't been home in a long time, all this time I enjoy the three of us. But, now that I live alone it feels uncomfortable living alone in this village. I'm sure, because you've also managed to live a new life now, too, I will also soon catch up with you”, Salman said last time without pause trying to convince Zein and Lukman with a smile attached to his face.
Zein and Lukman just nodded slowly and agreed on the contents of the mind of Salman who would probably feel very difficult and lonely living in the house alone. This is also an opportunity for Salman to return home because their current income is already quite a lot even though it has been divided by three. Because of him, this is the right time for him to leave the land of Aceh. Regarding the effort they have built a few months ago will be managed again by Zein and Lukman.
Although feeling unwilling, but letting Salman lonely is also not good. Especially Lukman who knows what exactly is the cause of his friend wanted to quickly leave them. In fact, on their wedding day. Lukman who understands how the heart of Salman is now finally let go of his friend even though he was not willing at all. The bond between the two of them was different from Zein's. Zein was a comrade-in-arms and the three of them lived in the same village.
But Salman is different. Salman has been near Lukman for almost half the life he has lived with Salman. A place of education that has never been different, enter the same dormitory together. Study and return the mosque together. The two of them were never separated by anyone. Like chewing gum, the whole village knows how familiar they are both. Because of him, even though the two of them are just silent they will understand each other's hearts without having to lips say.
