Hazimah and Aqlan
About Aqlan's matchmaking

Aqlan looked at her wife who had just come out of the bathroom wearing a nightgown, until Zimah was lying next to her Aqlan still looked at his wife who looked more silent after returning from the princess' cabin.

"Why you?"

Zimah nodded with a smile.

"You sick?"

Zimah nodded again.

"Related?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

Aqlan approached Zimah, then hugged her.

"If anything says yes."

"Yes, um."

"Now we sleep at night"

Zimah nodded and immediately closed her eyes as she got a swipe from Aqlan on the head.

...----------------------------------------...

Zimah repeatedly sighed slowly to disappear into her cluster.

This is not the first time Zimah has eaten with the Aqlan family. But eating this time there were the brothers of his Father-in-law.

Zimah did not know what the response from her husband's aunt and uncle would be when she saw him for the first time.

Aqlan clasped his wife's hand towards the dining table that was already crowded with his family.

Aqlan pulled a chair next to his umi for his wife to sit down, then pulled a chair for her next to his wife.

All eyes were on Aqlan and Zimah from the moment they entered the dining room, especially the three middle-aged people of different types, looking at Zimah intensely, with great intensity, Zimah gave a smile to the three middle-aged people that Zimah was sure of her husband's uncle and aunt.

"This is my daughter-in-law Aqlan's wife" Umi introduced Zimah to her uncle and aunt Aqlan.

"Maa is Allah. Ayu tenan your wife le." praise the middle-aged woman who looks the youngest among her other middle-aged people, who are in the dining room.

Aqlan smiled in response to her aunt's praise, but her eyes were fixed on her wife who always looked beautiful.

"Who's your name?" continue to ask.

"Zimah aunty." replied Zimah politely, confused as to what to call.

"Call Sarah, just like your husband" she said with a smile

Zimah smiled back. "Yes budeh."

"It's Pakde and his budeh Aqlan too, they're twins." Zimah nodded and gave a smile to Budeh and his husband who had been staring at him.

"Call Salma and Salim sir."

Zimah smiled back at Sarah who was very friendly and enthusiastic about meeting her brother.

"Now we start eating."

All of them nodded at Mbah lanang's orders, and immediately washed their hands.

Zimah saw the mbah leading the do'a meal, after which they began to eat solemnly, without the sound of a spoon or fork unpretentious with a plate.

"His word is that old man Ning Ais wants to come?" budeh Salmah started the conversation

Currently they are in the living room, after eating earlier umi Halimah and abi Ahmad asked them to gather.

"Yes" replied Mbah lanang briefly

"What to talk about Aqlan's matchmaking and ning Ais"

All his silence heard the question from Budeh Salmah.

Zimah was silent, her heart suddenly burst into pain when she heard the name she had heard from two female students yesterday, and heard the matchmaking she had discussed with her husband.

Not realizing that everyone was staring at him.

Zimah woke up feeling the grasp of her husband, looked at her husband then looked around her and smiled realizing he was in the eye.

"Ahmad and Halimah plan to create a walimahan event Aqlan and Zimah in this pesantren, let everyone know if they are husband and wife." abi Ahmad changed the topic, and, tell his brother and the others.

"Event?" ask Aqlan and Zimah simultaneously.

"Yes.this is just the plan of your umi and abi, mumpung we gather, so all we just tell." umi represents her husband

"Aqlan agrees." Aqlan was excited and looked at his wife.

"Is it as good as not yet mas, mbak?, his family ning Ais did not know about Aqlan's marriage" said Budeh Salmah.

"Let's tell them tomorrow" replied Abi Ahmad firmly

"Surely they are sad mas, they know Aqlan in the same soul mate ning Ais, if suddenly the Aqlan's horror is married are they not hurt.?"

All are silent.

Zimah silently listened to the words of Salmah.

"If Aqlan wants to marry ning Ais anyway maybe they accept, this matchmaking from our brother and the late Abah his kiyai Abdurrahman."

They all looked at Salmah in disbelief.

"Aqlan will not remarry, Aqlan's wife is only one, Zimah." replied Aqlan coldly and firmly staring at his pious very flat.

Pulling and breathing slowly. "Aqlan same Zimah permission to resign first."

Although in a state of emotion with his pious words, Aqlan tried to keep his adab.

Aqlan pulled Zimah's hand towards their room, Zimah was still silent by following the steps of her husband.

"That's been Aqlan's choice." abi Ahmad looked at his sister with a difficult look in the sense of right.

Salma who was in the face directly lowered her head, she knew what the gaze of her mas meant.

"Something good must be done right away, do what you think is good, I'm sure you are not rash in making decisions." Mbah who had been silent, voiced in support of the decision of the child.

Abi Ahmad nodded back at his father's gaze.

...---------------------------------------------...

"Astaghfirullah."

Aqlan repeatedly sighed and berstighfar after arriving at the room earlier

Zimah was sitting on the edge of the mattress, showing a look that could not be drawn right.

Aqlan got up from her seat on the sofa and stepped closer to her wife, who was lowered.

Sitting slowly next to his wife, Aqlan held Zimah's shoulder and held Zimah's chin and lifted her up slowly. Looking at the face of the wife.

Zimah smiled looking at Aqlan who was staring at her.

"Why?" asked Zimah like nothing happened

"You crying?" not his reply, Aqlan instead asked back.

"Is there a tear I'm coming out of?" zimah asked holding her eyes in turn.

"Not all of her crying tears out, tears are not a symbol of pain."

Zimah

"Mas asked not to be too thoughtful of Salmah's mind" Pinta Aqlan hoped

Zimah nodded. "This is Allah."

"Mas won't make promises to you, as you will, but I will always try to keep what I have." Aqlan stroked her wife's cheeks gently.

"Zimah will not back down even though there are many more women out there than Zimah. Zimah will retreat if the mas ask, or there's his polygamy."

Zimah smiled faintly.

Aqlan shook her head strongly not accepting the direct hug of his wife tightly.
