Fazila Tipan From Heaven
Araf And Sabina

The atmosphere in the middle room was still quiet. I noticed the faces of Oma Ochi and Mama Nani, both of them looking forward to Sabina's reply.

Sabina herself? The beautiful girl seemed to be thinking. I don't know what he was thinking until it takes time to answer Mama Nani's question. Though the question is very simple, it only requires the answer 'Yes' or 'No' but it does not seem that easy for Sabina, marriage or accepting a proposal is not that simple for every woman.

And strange? I never had a chance to think of anything like Sabina. Each one carries their own destiny. While my destiny and Abi Fazila are quite time consuming and quite a lot I shed tears.

"Mr. Honestly, Sabina was a little surprised by your decision to match Sabina with Mas Araf.

Sabina thought hard last night. Should Sabina marry him? Whether this decision was the right decision or not Sabina really did not know. Until one night Sabina kept thinking, should I be a submissive daughter? Will I be happy with this relationship? At three o'clock in the evening Sabina decided.

Da... Sabina was ready for this relationship. Because Sabina knew Mama, Papa, Oma and Opa's decision was never wrong. Sabina put Sabina's happiness in your hands. That's why Sabina never refuted Mama and Papa's words as well as Sabina's out there." Celoteh Sabina was long by wide.

Mama Nani looks to shed tears. Her gaze pierced through the depths of my heart, as if it explained 'I'm so lucky you're my daughter and I'm your Mother.' That's how I interpret it.

Mama Nani approaches Sabina then kisses the top of her proud daughter's head. Sabina could only smile at Mama Nani's sweet behavior. Maybe this is the best for all of us even though Abi Fazila holds a little doubt in the depths of his heart.

"Thank you, son. May you be kept away from the evil eye, and all happiness accompanies your every step."

Mama Nani's words sound very simple but in every letter she strung into words there are thousands of relief and hope for every girl who hears her Mama's heartfelt words.

"Thank you for your best do'a Mama. Is Sabina going now?" Sabina asked without taking off the sweet smile from her pretty face. There was no reply from Mama Nani other than a nod of the head.

"Sister, is Sabina in the room? If you need something, you can call Sabina. Sabina promised Sabina would come as fast as Sabina could."

"Yes, go." My reply was brief while holding the fingers of the best sister-in-law in the world, Sabina Wijaya.

The living room was quiet again, for a moment Mama Nani was busy with a guest list that she would invite. While Oma Ochi? The old woman looked at Mama Nani's face with a look of wonder.

"Nani, did you call Begum? I'm sure she'll be happy if she finds out her niece is getting married."

"Mother's right. Thankfully, my mother reminded me. Lf it doesn't? Nani must be in big trouble."

"Begum? Who is Ma?" I asked because ever since entering the Vijaya family I had never heard of his name.

"She's a cousin of Mama who lives in Dubai. When you and Alan married Mama really didn't remember it. He called and started getting angry. If you forget it again this time, I'm sure you'll never talk to me."

Hearing Mama Nani's brief explanation, I could only nod my head. I wondered what kind of sister Mama Nani had until she decided she did not want to live in Indonesia and preferred to stay away from the Vijaya family.

As agreed by both families, the application event will be held at the Wijaya residence and not at the Hotel as the wishes of Opa Ade. And today? The day finally came. Sabina and Araf's engagement goes smoothly, a diamond costing hundreds of millions adorning Sabina's ring finger. Unfortunately, the beautiful face only carved a little smile like a couple in General. Whether she was tense or even rejecting this relationship, I really could not guess her way of thinking.

Sabina wears a white dress designed by the Wijaya family. And look at the work of the Power? I'm sure there's no bride more beautiful than Sabina. His gaze was sharp, his nose was small, his eyebrows were black, his teeth were neat like ants going hand in hand. His posture is balanced, he is not fat and not too thin. When he smiles all who look at him will feel calm. And today, she looks ten times prettier than a typical day.

For a moment Sabina stared at the shady face of Araf who was sitting to her left, but a second later she began to avert her gaze.

"I don't know what to say. What is clear is that I can only say that I approve of this relationship with all my heart."

"Goodoo. Since you've already said it I don't think I need to worry about our parents' second drama.

I'll see Alan, after tonight we won't meet or talk. We'll meet at the Kabul Ijab event. As long as it takes care of you. And don't forget to learn to do housework. From now on I say, I will not hire the services of a Household Assistant.

If you ask why? The answer is I hate to see anyone else running around my house other than family members. Do you understand?"

I'm sure Sabina and Araf were unaware of my existence so they looked mediocre. Usually I never behave like this, what else until hearing the conversation of others secretly. Is this the baby that's worried about Tantenya? I don't know, I can't understand the ridiculousness that I'm doing right now.

"Are you not going to eat? You guys look serious, is there a problem?" Mama Araf asked as she cupped Sabina's beautiful face with her right hand.

I knew Araf didn't talk rudely to Sabina, only from his words I realized that he was impressed that he didn't want others to interfere in his personal life. Are the unfounded concerns Abi Fazila right? Did Araf really not want to lose his playboy attitude? Or is it just the opposite he was forced to accept his mother's wishes? All this really confused me. I was still standing in the corner waiting for what Araf would say next.

"We've eaten Auntie!"

"Aunty? You'll be the daughter-in-law of our family. From now on you must call me Mama. Youunderstand?" Mama Araf's words have a point, it's just that Sabina looks uncomfortable calling other women by the name of Mama besides her own Mama.

There was no reply from Sabina other than a nod of the head. After kissing Sabina's forehead, Mama Araf immediately went to greet Mama Nani who was currently standing near Papa Otis.

"Listen, I'm a simple guy. I don't like people interfering in my personal affairs. We're getting married but none of us has the right to be involved in our own private affairs." Araf said confidently after his mother walked away from him.

Glekkk!

I swallowed the saliva while hearing Araf's words. I'm sure if Mama Nani who heard his words would be hurt. For a moment I fell silent, trying to digest every confession Araf had. But as far as I'm concerned, Sabina looks fine. Does he have any problem with Araf's words? It's really confusing.

Me and Abi Fazila were the same, before we got married there were some conditions that I asked him. There was no physical contact in it. But it didn't last long, because I wasn't the type of woman who would linger in infamy. I also hope that Araf and Sabina will find peace in the relationship that will be established in the next few days.

"I accept your terms. But Araf also has to remember, I am not a woman who will be silent in case of injustice. So my advice is, never do anything that will make you regret it. I will do all my duties except to be involved in your personal affairs."

Even Sabina's words surprised me a little, they were the same. Should I tell Abi Fazila what I heard? Or should I just shut up? I've never seen a bride who was stranger than Araf and Sabina before, but this time they managed to leave me speechless.

Fatimah... What are you going to do to unite those two soon-to-be-bound hearts? If they don't know each other maybe it'll be hard for you. But this is different, they even grew up together. The difference is only in age. And it's not a big deal. I muttered to myself while squeezing my fingers. My little brain began to devise a plan to unite the strangest brides-to-be in the world, Araf and Sabina.
