Sarah, an orphan girl who has lived since childhood in a boarding school because before her grandmother died when Sarah was 5 years old, sarah's grandmother entrusted the girl to a Ustadzah in order to live in Pesantren while educating Sarah to be a sholeh woman who understands religious knowledge.

When Sarah was over 18 years old, Sarah intended to leave the boarding school. He wanted to find his own life by working but because in Pesantren it was lack of teaching staff, finally, Sarah got the task to teach children under the age of 10 years and also teach teaching in the afternoon.

On a clear Sunday, the son of one of the Ponpes founders returned home from his education abroad in Cairo, Egypt. Mr. Kyai Agung wanted his second son to marry one of the girls in the boarding house he was taking care of and the plan was for Kyai to marry several people at once.

Mr. Kyai and his son Farel were having a serious conversation in his study.

"Abi wants you to marry one of the ustadzah in our boarding school!" tell her Abinya without Farel thinking.

The young man's eyes were rounded, "What does Abi mean?" Farel still did not believe in his hearing.

"Marry Sarah! Abi will set the time!"

"Sara? Marry Sarah? Abi didn't say anything wrong, did he?" Farel looked at Abinya with a frown and his eyes became perfectly round.

"Abi didn't mess with Abi's words, son. She's a good girl. And the best as far as Abi has observed so far. Abi wants you to marry the best girl in our boarding school!"

"Best according to Abi." Farel threw his face away, "For what reason would Farel have chosen higher education there if only he would have married a girl here."

"It doesn't mean you went there and married a girl from there, does it?"

"Farel already. . ."

"Abi doesn't want to be denied! You know, even Farukh wants to marry the girl Abi chose. And you see, their marriage is happy."

"But, Bi?"

"Prepare yourself in three days!" Mr. Kyai then came out of his room leaving Farel who looked at him with a pushy look. Emotions restrained.

***

The day when Kyai the Great has got anyone who wants to marry without coercion. All had gathered in the meeting room.7 ustad and 7 ustadzah including Sarah. Sarah was suddenly asked to stand up.

"Sarah, please stand up!" tell mr. Kyai.

Sarah was shocked to stand up.

"You know our sister named Sarah Andani. You must have known him very well. Well, who's expecting Sarah's wife, please stand up. Sarah will choose who among you will be her husband!" obviously Mr. Kyai the Great.

The girl looked down her head in embarrassment. He did not dare to see anyone who stood up which meant that he had chosen her to be his wife. And it turns out there are 4 ustads who have stood among the 7 people who are in the room. But it was unknown to Sarah because the girl was still bowing her head.

"Sarah, let's see who has chosen you. Among the four of them, who do you want to be your life partner?" ask Mr. Kyai.

Sarah raised her head. Her eyes were round when she saw anyone who wanted her to be a wife. One of them is the second son of Pak Kyai. Sarah's heart was beating irregularly. How could Ustad Farel stand, while he knew that women certainly did not seem to be the ideal woman for a Farel Afdhal.

Sarah was very confused because honestly, Sarah also put feelings for the man. Sarah doesn't want to have feelings for her, but the heart can't be forced, right? Sarah also could not force her heart to determine who she liked.

"Sarah, how? Who will you choose?" asked Mr. Kyai disperse the girl's daydream.

"Sa-my...?" Sarah looks nervous.

"Who will you choose?"

Sarah sipped her saliva with great difficulty. With a quivering voice, Sarah finally answered the question of Mr. Kyai.

"Sa-I, choose Ustadz Farel, Kyai," replied Sarah.

"Yaaahh. . ." lamented some of the Ustadzah who were there who still had 6 more.

While the three ustadz who stood immediately sat down lazily and with a disappointed face.

After all getting their respective partners, Pak Kyai then determine their wedding day.

***

Set the specified time. The day on which 7 pairs of ustad and ustadzah will be married. All of ustad had already sat in their respective places. There are those who use the guardian of the bride's father and some who use the guardian of the marriage judge for those who do not have parents including Sarah.

Finally, all the bridal couples have finished doing the marriage contract. And continue with the simple walimahan event.

***

All the brides are currently in their bridal rooms. Mr. Kyai Agung deliberately rented a simple hotel room near his boarding house for a honeymoon couple. No exception to Sarah. The young lady was already inside her bridal room.

Shortly thereafter Farel came in. Sarah's heart was pounding. His red face adds to his natural beauty if Farel wants to look at the face of the girl who has just officially become his wife. But unfortunately, Farel did not turn his head to Sarah who was directly lowered his head since Farel opened their room door

"You don't get big head first, Sarah. I chose you on my Abi's wishes not on my own! So, there is not the slightest bit of feeling I have towards you!" farel said like a boulder that struck Sarah's heart.

Sarah's world is broken. The body of the girl who was initially pounding became weakly helpless. He did not expect that Ustad Farel could say such a painful thing. Sarah did not expect that the man did not really want her to be a wife.

Slowly, Sarah raised her head to look at her husband. Seeking truth over his hearing just now. But unfortunately, Farel had immediately dropped his body on the sofa in the room by covering his face with his hands.

Sarah dropped her body back on the bed. My hearing was not wrong. Farel was forced to marry me. But why did Mr Kyai force her to marry me? If I hadn't chosen him at that time, he wouldn't be my husband at the moment. Ah no Sarah, maybe this is your destiny.

But what about my next marriage? Is Mas Farel going to mentally assault me? Ahh, Oh God... Sarah sat down and covered her wet face with both hands. Her chest feels so tight. Until his shoulders shake.
