Marrying a Muslim Woman
Chapter 88. Lousy

After the wedding reception was over, the guests and also the closest people began to go home, while the newlyweds had already entered Abi Zaenal's house.

For now, Abi Zaenal's family is gathering in the living room, with the exception of the newlyweds who first enter his room.

"I'm sorry it's all too sudden. So, we do not welcome you here very well. Therefore, Abi and his family say thank you for everything." Abi Zaenal is so happy and happy with what happened today, everything seems beautiful.

"It's okay, we are also very happy to come here and get such a beautiful daughter-in-law" replied Mr Salman—ayah of Reza. He smiled as he answered her because he did not expect that his son would be serious about someone.

"Alhamdulillah, then we are also very happy to get a daughter-in-law like Nak Reza who is very brave," said Abi Zaenal soraya boasting Reza in front of his parents, Reza.

The conversation didn't get there, they talked a lot and got to know each other. Even have mutually consider the family, no longer besan. That's how Abi Zaenal and his family if you already know, it will be very dear because of his friendly attitude which also makes Reza comfortable while being with this family.

While the newlyweds, now in a room that has been decorated very beautifully. However, there is something different about this couple. Usually the newlyweds will talk to each other and joke laughter together, while this one looks different and just silent, with occasional glances at each other.

Because what? Not knowing each other, even meeting only a few times. Therefore, they felt very awkward. Of the two just silence and Reza whose attitude is not too silent, another case with the present. He was silent, so Fatimah said something.

"Sister," Fatimah said in her soft voice.

Then Reza immediately answered him because this was the beginning of a silence that had run long enough. "Yes, what's up Dek."

"For now, Imah doesn't know what to do. But for sure, Imah will try to obey Kak Reza as a husband from Imah," said Fatimah nervously.

"Don't think about it! For now, let's start from establishing a closer relationship, that way. As time goes on and we get to know each other even more." Reza proposes the best way to start a relationship.

Fatimah fell silent and then nodded so as to make Reza smile triumphantly.

"Okay, let's start by introducing ourselves first. Do you know, Brother's name?" reza's real question doesn't need to be asked anymore because it's not necessary.

Suddenly Fatimah was silent for a moment and thought. "If it's not wrong, Reza" he said.

"Yes, we start this relationship based on Brother and Sister, so closeness will come by itself." To start something, Reza chose what was still in the neighborhood, so Fatimah would accept it.

Fatimah nodded as her consent, to Fatimah what her husband suggested was true as well. And so he agreed.

"So, I don't want to ask. Is Adek happy with this wedding? Answer honestly well," asked Reza with eyes that kept looking at his wife.

"Yes ... Imah was very happy with this marriage," replied Fatimah who was a bit awkward talking with her husband.

"Does Adek still love Adek's ex-husband?" Reza asked again because he wanted to know the truth.

"If I may be honest, Imah has not loved Fahmi and before ijab qobul. Fatimah did not feel the excitement that others felt because of her overly cold attitude, making Fatimah doubt her a little." Honestly, Fatimah revealed her awkwardness when she was still the fiance of Fahmi.

"Alhamdulillah. Therefore, there is nothing that holds out our approach even though we have only met a few times, but Brother has almost known you, Dek." Without a doubt Reza told his parivation to his wife.

"Alright, Brother tell me. Adek with yah," he asked the wife.

Fatimah just nodded and Reza immediately told her everything. From the beginning they met until the incident could not sleep in a few days and in a row, also the journey got Fatimah to date.

Sometimes Fatimah smiled listening to her husband's story and did not expect it, Reza who managed to have it. Whether this is just a coincidence, but this is not a coincidence but the will of Allah SWT. For this reason, this is how God unites two people who are far apart to guard and protect each other.

Though it is impossible, if God wills it, all will be done by his permission.

Now Fatimah knew why there was no image present when she was praying istikharah, but it was because Reza was the one who got her guidance and struggled to get her.

It's impossible, isn't it? But it is all of this that God unites it. Either way if it is destined to be together, it will remain united.

Tonight became the most beautiful night for this newlywed couple, a lot of things were talked about and told that made them get to know each other and get closer.

For the story of Fatimah and Reza it is very extraordinary, as stated in HR. Abu Dawud's.

مَا شَاءَ اللهُ كَانَ وَمَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ (رواه أبو داود)

Which means : “What Allah wills - will happen - will surely happen, and what He does not command will never happen. (CHR. Abu Dawud's).

Another case with Almaira who is now being sued by her husband. Therefore, after being in the room. Alvian kept urging his wife to answer his question, that afternoon.

"Quick say," urged Alvian who was still curious about the answer that Almaira had not told.

Almaira sat down and answered him very quietly. "The handsome guy,"

Alvian smiles. "Tell me again, I want to hear it very clearly."

"Here, don't ask for it again. Maira was ashamed of Mas," said Almaira Soraya covering her face with both hands.

"Why should you be ashamed?" Alvian deliberately teased his wife.

"Ah ... have not been discussed again," reply Almaira who is still faithful to cover her face because of the shame she is now experiencing.

"Don't be ashamed, you can see it every day and Mas can also see your face at all times" Alvian said as he lowered his wife's hands covering her beautiful face.

For now, Almaira's heart was beating so fast because of her husband's treatment. However, they both loved each other. However, the sense of dag dig dugnya still exists until now. So did the same Alvian feel, what Almaira now feels.
