Mahardika Mansion has been crowded since morning. The chanting of the holy verses of the Qur'an is already echoing all over the place. Families and invited guests who are neighbors have sat down with white Muslim clothes.
Yep. Today we had a pre-wedding lecture for Nara. The girl with the white veil that partially covered her head sat with Nadia on her right side and Tasya on her left.
Putting his head in.
Today she looks beautiful with Muslim fashion and thin makeup that seems more natural. Listening to the melodious voice of the Qur’an memorizers who have been invited.
Today too, families living outside the city gathered at the Mahardika mansion. No doubt tomorrow is the wedding.
Nara breathed deeply. He hoped time would stop for now. And give more time so that all can be overcome and this marriage does not have to happen.
After the recitation of the Qur’an is completed, changing with the event of the qolbu flush regarding the wedding.
Nara listened to every word the Ustadz spoke. Thinking about it so deeply that it made her shed tears.
In his heart he regretted his decision to accept this marriage which forced him to. Make it not iklas undergo this sacred and holy marriage. Especially the words of the ustad who said if the wife must obey her husband's orders.
With her condition like that, Nara so think if she can be a good wife?
”Why you baby?” ask Tasya. Nathan's sister stroked Nara's arm. He did not know if this marriage was a forced marriage. She thought her niece couldn't have had a marriage like that.
Nara could only shake her head in response. Nadia clenched her hand to Nara while giving Tasya a code to stop asking. Tasya understood and nodded.
The qolbu flush event was completed, at this time, Nara sat down in front of Nathan and Nadia. Plus the guardian sat next to Nathan. Nara is currently seeking permission to marry. However, she was unable to name Rafael as her future husband.
Nadia who heard Nara's words cried unstoppably. Nathan embraced Nadia's shoulder. Strengthening women who are giving up their daughter's singles.
“Mama, Papa. Thank you for the unparalleled love you have given me. Until whenever I as a child will never be able to replace it with anything worth it.” Nara took a deep breath.
“For almost twenty-two years, I have had a lot of mistakes on mama and papa. On this occasion, let me apologize sincerely.” Nara looked at Nathan, Nadia and Satria.
“At this time, I, Kinara Pramudita Maheswari Mahardika ask permission on the three of you to marry...” Nara could not go on to say Rafael's name. The girl clenched her clenched hands covered with her long sleeves . “Nara as a child asked for blessing and do’a from you so that my household went well. Pray that I can build a safe home. Aamiin.”
Nara could not bear to say more. He chose to end it all.
With a heavy heart, Nathan gave his permission as well as good advice to Nara. The man strengthened his heart to release the princess. Although Nara was only a stepson to him, he already considered her to be the biological child that he cared so much for.
In an event like this, it was only natural that there would be tears shed. But as a family, Satria can see something strange. Same with Tasya and the others.
For this reason, they gathered after the lecture was over and invited guests had left the Mahardika mansion.
“I know something's wrong here. Can anyone explain it to us?” Satria represents all those who do not yet know the problem. The man looked at Nadia, Nathan, Nara and Bhishma alternately. Hope one of them can satisfy his curiosity.
“The company is in a state of chaos kak.” Bisma finally spoke. They had originally intended to hide everything until it was all over. But like anything they tried to cover up the news, in front of the family must have been exposed as well. So Bhishma felt there was nothing to hide the song. Satria listened carefully. “We have tried our best to date.”
“So Nara got married because she had to!” Tasya asked with emotion.
“Yes God. Don't let the past repeat itself. However we cannot sacrifice the happiness of Nara.” Satria is putting on her hair in frustration.
“Do not worry brother. We have prepared everything. We should all pray that tomorrow my plan and Alex succeed.” Bisma said firmly.
Being in this situation no one wills. They are also victims. After all, they also did not just sit idly by letting Nara sacrifice and sit sweetly enjoying the wealth. They too fought. Satria's words were like blaming those around Nara for all this.
“Who is Alex?” ask Satria who feels foreign and does not know Alex. The name of Nara's future husband is Rafael. Then who's Alex?
“Alex the girlfriend of Nara, Satria. He's also working hard out there.” Answer Nathan.
“If Nara has a boyfriend, why not just marry him?”
Ask Satria again.
“Satria please listen to our explanation, this Rafael is attacking our company. Both Mahardika and Amerta are in a threatened position. And we also had to make this move. Marrying Nara to Rafael was only to distract Rafael from us. If not, Rafael will destroy two companies. You can imagine how many people will lose their jobs.” Nathan tried to explain the situation. Seeing Satria's emotions made him unable to bear to explain.
Hearing Nathan's explanation, Satria let out a sigh of resignation. As the culmination of a large company, of course, its obligations are also as great as its position. Nara is in that position. Being the decisive spearhead is still thousands of employees from two companies at once.
“What can we help you with?” Joni, who had been silent, offered help.
“Uncle. I'm asking for help to deploy uncle's men just in case tomorrow. I'm afraid Rafael is also deploying his men to block our movement.” Bisma. He also has a subordinate. But the more people who help the better the results.
“Good. This kind of thing leave it to me.” Reply Joni with confidence.
One by one they finally offered to help. This is what we call family. Always there in times of joy and sorrow. Help each other in difficult times. And sharing in happy times.
At the same time. In a city dozens of kilometers away from the capital, Alex and his heavily armed men are in an old warehouse. Warehouses with worn out buildings were swallowed up by the times. The barn with the surrounding courtyard was overgrown with weeds which was even taller than that of an adult male.
They sneak around and hide using the weeds. Staking out the inside of the warehouse that was heavily guarded by some thugs patrolling every fifteen minutes.
“Their number is not too much. There are only about ten people. I think Rafael wouldn't have expected if we could find this place.” Report Gibran who faithfully follows Alex.
“Isn't that good. Implement now. Disable them immediately and do not let any of them escape.” Alex grinned. Victory is in sight.
