Istikharah Unites Us
Fulfill Invitation

One week has passed. Today I will go to the wedding of Icha and Bang Abdul.

It's been ten years since I've seen Bang Abdul. I get a little curious, what does it look like now?

Ting!! There's an incoming message. "From Lilian." I said in my heart.

"Ra, today go to Icha's wedding with me, yeah" she wrote.

"In the Lord. The plan is that Aura will go there after praying isya." I reply.

"Owh, then don't forget to tell me, chat me if you want to leave." Lilian asked me.

"Okay, Li." I replied.

Until this moment I am still confused about which game to wear. But since Icha is my best friend, she will definitely not care about my appearance, as long as I come and fulfill her invitation.

"Mom, this is a good dress if you don't have an invitation to the wedding?" ask me Mom.

I brought a mix of black and yellow. His superior is black and his subordinate is yellow. The subordinate has a 2-layer fabric gives the impression of elegance and certainly not charming. Every time I wear it, I feel like I'm a princess in the 21st century. Wkwkwkk.

"Good." answered Mom. "The child of this beautiful mother, wearing any robe will definitely still look beautiful" he continued.

"Hehee, I could." I said with a cry. "Mom didn't go to Icha's house, ma'am." I asked.

"No, I'll just drop the envelope with my sister." said Mother.

"Yes, Mom."

"Sik, how is the relationship going on between Brother and Rizky? So he's coming next month on the 5th?" ask Mom suddenly.

"Ouh, that, little sister hasn't contacted Bang Rizky, Mom. Later that night after returning from Icha's place, sister will ask with him." I replied.

"Yes already then. It's already want maghrib. Brother get ready. I'm gonna close the stall."

"Quick tumben, Mom. What's up?" my many. I was astonished because usually Mom would close the stall over ten o'clock in the evening.

"Mom is not feeling well. I want to rest." replied Mom.

"Mother's sick? let's go to the puskesmas."

"No need, Brother. I'm just tired, so I want to close the stall early, so I can also rest early" said Mother.

"Owh, okay, Mom. Aura help Mom close the stall first, then get ready to pray maghrib."

We both rushed to close the stall, not forgetting that we also read the bismillah so that the creatures that could not be seen with the naked eye, did not dare to enter our house.

After finishing closing the stall, Mom and I took turns to enter the bathroom for ablution'.

Then I fulfilled my duty as a servant, praying three rakaat maghrib and reading the Qur'an several pages.

When I finished, I took my salary. Turns out there was a chat coming in from Bang Rizky, my future husband. Wkwkwkk.

I didn't hear my phone ringing. Maybe while I was at the kiosk with Mom, Bang Rizky chat came in.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ra." he wrote.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Bang." My reply.

"Have you finished praying istikharah? It's been a week, surely you've got a lead, haven't you?" ask Bang Rizky.

"Alhamdulillah already, Bang. Aura thought she would tell her brother after coming home from Icha's wedding." I replied.

"Owh, when did Icha get married?" ask Bang Rizky again.

"Today, Bang. Day Ijab Qobul, night reception. Later after praying Isya, Aura will go there." I replied.

"Owh, careful. Do not forget to chat Abang and tell about the instructions that Aura can after praying istikharah." he asked.

"This is Allah, Bang." I replied.

"It turns out that Bang Rizky is much more patient than Ryan." My inner.

Does not feel adzan isya already reverberating, I immediately perform prayers isya. Then I'm ready to go.

Not long after, he replied to my chat.

"Good, Ra. I'm waiting at the entrance." she wrote.

"Ok, soon Aura arrives." I reply.

When I got to the entrance, I went straight to Lilian.

"Lilian." I said.

"O Allah, you are beautiful. The aura to the arab-araban radiates from your face. Hehehe." he said as he looked at me.

"It could be you, Li. That's called exaggeration. Aura indonesia pure loh." I argue.

"Aura is pure indonesia. But Aura's skin is white, Aura's nose is sharp, her face looks like an Arab. A little, hehe." said Lilian still praising me.

"Thank you, Li. Let's just go inside." invite me to Lilian stop praising me.

When we entered, we filled out the guest book. We both put the gift where it was prepared. Then the envelope entrusted by Mother I gave directly to Icha Mother who welcomed the arrival of the guests.

"Thank you, son. Please enjoy the meal, have to eat before you go home." said Icha's mother to me and Lilian.

"Don't worry, Buk. We must have eaten. We're not on a diet, hehe." Lilian said with a cry.

Icha's mother replied to him with a small laugh and nodded her head slowly.

"Ra, let's go see Icha." lillian.

"Come on." I replied briefly.

Then we both walked towards the door. There was Bang Abdul and Icha sitting together and talking.

"Congratulations yaaaaa. Icha and Bang Abdul." said Lilian. Arriving on the lap, she immediately hugged Icha and kissed her cheeks left and right. "May be the same family" he continued.

"Aamiin yamujibas saailiin." sahut Icha.

After that change I hugged and kissed Icha.

"Good newlyweds, Icha and Bang Abdul. May we be a happy family, a happy world and the hereafter. Become a partner who is living and sesyurga." I said.

"Aamiin yamujibas. Thank you so much for your prayers and thank you for taking the time to attend our wedding" Icha said.

"Yes, thank you very much for your prayers" said Bang Abdul.

"Together" said I and Lilian simultaneously.

"Please enjoy the dish, do not hesitate" said Icha.

"Yes, then we stay. Please continue to talk." said Lilian, then she invited me to pick up some food.

After finishing eating.

"Alhamdulillah is full" Lilian said.

"Yes, Alhamdulillah." I said. "It's so pretty, Li. Aura to pangling. She's a perfect fit in that pink wedding dress." I said.

"Yes, I think so too. And it fits perfectly with the man next to it. Bang Abdul is still handsome."

"Yes, Li. What you said is true."

"Ra, it's ten. I'm going home. What time do you want to go home?" ask Lilian.

"Oh yeah? Is it ten now? Aura also wants to go home." I said and felt a little panicked.

"Yes, let's go home." take her.

We separated after we left the party.

Ouch... It's been this late, I forgot that I promised to call Bang Rizky.

When I got home, it was half eleven. "There's no way I can chat Bang Rizky right now. Better chat tomorrow morning." I murmured inwardly.
