In the midst of such a diverse activity, Nur was surprised to see Rahma and her mother come to her house. Both are neat like invited guests who are ready to follow this series of events. Bu Nur did not expect if Sholeh invited him as a family party. There was once a sense of disappointment because Sholeh did not discuss this with him.
" How are you doing, Nur?" his mother Rahma or commonly called Rani by many people shook her hand.
" Good Mom, this is how I am" said Ms. Nur hiding her shock.
As a host, Nur invited the two of them to sit in a house that was full of things they would carry. Without being told Rahma to explore the space of the house which is indeed a lot of people in and out.
" Congratulations Ma'am, finally got a ghost first from me" her smile seemed to offend the happy feelings she should have felt as well.
" If the time has come, the mother is also immediately ghosted" replied Ms. Nur kindly.
" I think we're going to be besanan, seeing Sholeh who just keeps getting close to my daughter" her smile tilted as mocking.
Bu Nur was silent for a moment, he knew that there would be prejudice if faced directly with this woman. Since long ago he did not like his friendly but refuted style of speech. Bu Nur said, why does he seem to call my son like this.
" No soul mate, those who choose and decide. We can only pray"
" I don't know why it ended up this way" he let out a long sigh.
" Do not blame the children who have the decision of the mother, let them and enough prayers are like a good mother "just a little bu Nur wants to affirm if his son has the right to choose the path of his life, he said, but as hard as he could, he held it.
" If Rahma had not foolishly rejected Sholeh, we would be besanan now" he laughed bitterly as if lamenting his fate.
Ms. Nur did not care, this guest would only be busy researching the happy day of his son, what did the words mean. Sholeh did not intend to marry Rahma, if he had no intention he would not approve, in his heart Nur continued to comment.
"Here you go, ma'am, maybe Sholeh is not good enough for Rahma, prayer is best for your very smart and beautiful daughter. He's a lot of acquaintances in town, maybe he has a more great girlfriend at the moment" Ms. Nur moved on. " I live ya ma'am" he went in looking for his son who was somehow inside.
His steps were upset that sourced in his chest, he cursed Sholeh who still involved Rahma further in his important day. He would not be angry if just invite him, why should be included with all relatives today.

" Ah yes Ma'am, wait a minute I have to get my phone" Sholeh went to his room with a small run.
Staring at his mother's sharp eyes, Sholeh realized there had been a problem in his heart. Sholeh hoped her mother wouldn't say anything to Rahma there.
A smile emanated from Rahma's face, nervousness clearly drawn suddenly. What else is the cause if not the reprimand of Nur's resolute bu with his angry tone.
" I'm sorry if I bother Mas Sholeh" Rahma said, trying to lower the look.
" It's time to go" replied Ms. Nur flatly. He followed Sholeh into the room.
Sholeh was surprised to see her mother suddenly enter her room, "What's the Buk?" .
Bu Nur sat for a moment on the bed, took a breath and exhaled slowly. " We're leaving, if your uncle has come. Let's just stay here first" .
Sholeh sat next to her mother, understanding that something was troubling her mother's mind, only that she did not tell her more details. Sholeh clasped his mother's hand, channeling a sense of security and serenity without a word. " We will discuss later, Mom, Sholeh is too nervous today, help your son to get his courage "slowly Sholeh hugged his mother. His heart is mixed today, the mother's embrace may be a strength.
Without a word, there was a little Isaac from the mother. His heart ached for an instant, Sholeh could understand what his mother was thinking.
" Your father will be happy if you see you today, since Sholeha was a child he has chosen to be his ex. That's why we insist on matching you, this is an unspoken will from your father. Accept her as sincerely as possible, don't make her heart hurt" Nur took off the warm embrace.
Sholeh smiled at the wrinkled face of her mother who began to clear in her growing age.
" Whatever it is Buk, God willing we marry with the intention of worshiping God, just pray for us."
" Yes son, mother's prayer will continue to be said for the happiness of both of you"
The tears of Nur's mother flowed again, how sad, happy, and also poignant to become one. The two hugged again, trying to forget the sadness and the many little things that had just plagued his heart.
The sound of the door on tap was heard, Agus reminded to immediately prepare to leave. Sholeh wiped his mother's tears, kissed her hands and immediately took Nur's mother out.

A shiny black car decorated with a few flowers as a sign of the bride's car lined up in the middle of the family's car. It looks like his uncle's family is also preparing to lead the route. A joy that they were so proud to show off, as if so that everyone knew today the son of his family would go to marry the girl who lived in the same village. Some neighbors also prepared to follow on motorcycles as in general a bridal motorcade in the village. They gave a happy smile encouraging Sholeh, there was a beautiful taste that he got this morning.
" How about we go now?" ask pak kades as an uncle and also a representative of his late father.
" We check everything once again, after we leave" said Ms. Nur to make sure.
Some relatives who came with the children made the yard cheerful full of laughter, accidentally he also determined the wedding day on Sunday.
Sholeh began rubbing his slightly sweaty forehead, a sense of uneasiness and nervousness as everyone began to prepare to leave. One car driven by Dito was slowly driving. There is Sholeh his mother's uncle and also his aunt.
Either four other cars transport anyone in it. At first glance, Agus' family and the children of his uncle were also seen. Because Sholeh's relatives are not much the rest filled with friends and neighbors or distant relatives. Walking hand in hand, slowly not in a hurry, Dito seemed to know the condition of the heart of the friend who was in nervousness.
" The distance is close to Leh, briefly also arrived" said the uncle from the front seat.
Sholeh smiled, his sitting position in the flank of the two women closest to him made it clear he was very eager to be given peace periodically from them.
" From just now breathe and hold your feet, sir, cold sweat" replied the aunt with a laugh.
" Ordinary then, later if it is legitimate yes lost his nervousness. It's common for this to shake hands and talk with his parents-in-law, sure you can't be nervous" the uncle who really understands what Sholeh is thinking did not stop smiling cheering.
" It's natural anyway, the name is also the first time, inexperienced" added bu Nur suddenly.
" Is Dito married yet?"
" Not yet kades, Alhamdulillah still patiently trying to find a suitable one" with a confident smile from behind his wheel.
" Oh yes ndak papa, who knows today nemu ya kang, kayak Sholeh this ndak know his soul mate at the end of his nose." Sholeh's laughter appeared amidst the seriousness of the two conversing.
" Lah yes, if it is as close as the nose is not even realized, "
Dito also laughed, guyonan sir kades this one is very friendly. It is good to hear and warm.
" Dear of my son all boys, actually I also want a quick ghost "cock aunt from the left of Sholeh.
" Small is so busy ghost yet dik, just wait for my granddaughter to come out if you want momong again" said Nur to the mother of the kades.
" In fact, want to have a friend Mbak, home kok lanang all sometimes want to have a team hehe"
Bu Nur laughed, knowing that his sister-in-law must be complaining about her condition as a single woman in three men in her home. Naturally, he was jealous of Nur's mother who soon had a daughter-in-law.
" Dah be patient, Sholeha is also your daughter-in-law later" comforted Nur.
Madam Kades as well as Sholeh's aunt smiled warmly, ending her non-serious complaint.

Behind the boss Sholeha waiting, there are only stories of Irma trying to comfort him from the anxiety of staying in the room since. Her eyes did not stop glancing at the small clock in the corner of her dresser. It can be calculated that he glanced at it until every minute, even though Irma had tried hard to divert by inviting him to talk.
" Kok lama ya Ir, the feeling is usually the distance traveled from there and here through fifteen minutes loh" he complained after back and forth tired of glancing at the clock.
" The show is at half-nine, naturally they have not arrived. It's quiet, it's beautiful, don't worry, "A half-laughing Irma calms her friend.
Naturally, if he was nervous, since dawn he had been waiting for how he was not bored.
" From dawn I sat here, my stomach was hungry again, "
" Tuh right, the style was not want to eat, had a drink this so make a wedge" Irma thrust bottled mineral water.
" Don't do it, if I drink a lot even want to pee. "
Irma was still laughing. Not because of the rush to prepare, but it is the habit of the fairy masters who do not want to mepet with the clock akad, what else is married is not just Sholeha. At least Sholeha had to add patience to the wait.
" Hold on. I think the group has come." Irma tried to peek out of the window, apparently not getting any results.
" Thankfully, hopefully there is no obstacle "Sholeha relaxes her shoulders that have been tense since.
" Not yet, Ha, calm down"
" At least he arrived safely first, if I can also hear from here" he replied calmly.
" Yes too, at least his bride did not run away huh Ha" Irma's laughter suddenly sounded.
" What the hell is Ir, you must be the same as me with your novel story", yes",
Irma laughed, "Slightly, had equated "
" Which Ir you've been reading lately, it's kind of awkward sometimes"
" Ih you, many of the stories also come from reality, maybe a little added to be interesting "
The door of the room opened, Ayu appeared from there. She was wearing a well-fitted canal and hijab, there was a blush and red on her lips, looking beautiful and graceful.
" Sholeh's entourage has arrived, ten minutes from the start of the show" Ayu said.
" Yeah" Sholeh smiled at Ayu.
" Mom stay yes, I'll pick you up" Ayu back out.
The face that had been relaxed and cheerful earlier, again stiffened the disturbing interference.
The sound of loudspeakers buzzing each other, a sign that the process of the event will begin soon. Ah I don't know if Sholeha really doesn't understand what's going on. Quietly waiting beautifully in a room that is useless window, enough to make him tormented, because of curiosity and impatience mixed into one. At least he wanted to see what it was like out there.
When the opening greeting is heard from the host, opening and leading the course of the event, there are several verses of the Koran that are chanted, the welcome that was conveyed and heard also I preached the marriage that Sholeha himself did not so clearly hear, he was busy himself with anxiety that continued to occupy his heart.
His heart beat faster, as the words ijab and qobul are spoken by the two men who mean a lot in his life, clearly the voice of the father and calmly the voice of Sholeh also completed this marriage contract perfectly.
Sholeha's heart rippled along a long line of gratitude, her smiling lips filling the beautiful face of the queen today.
After the legitimate word sounded boisterous, his heart warmed. Enjoying all the feelings that come and go, happy, happy, happy and as if love has also filled his heart in an instant.
Sholeha hugged Irma, a friend who never stopped shedding tears her harrow, she said nothing, Sholeha knew what she was feeling.
" Congratulations yes, you are already the wife of people" Irma said on the sidelines of her crying.
" Yes thank you, yes" Sholeha smiled looking at the sincere face of her best friend.
Their hugs were released, but both hands were still clasping each other like before, there were many things that might not have been said of the two. Sholeha did not dampen her happy smile, and Irma who continued to let her tears drip.
" Don't cry, I'm happy you should be happy too, now take me out. I miss my husband" Sholeha whispered, then both laughed.
" You'll be picked up by your husband, no need to take me. Look, just wait for him to appear before you in a matter of seconds" Irma said confidently.
Sholeha smiled, she turned around and went back to checking the look of her face as well as her dress. She stood researching once again, she seemed to be worried if all the makeup had worn off due to the long wait.
Before long the door algae move.
