"Because we've reached an agreement on the wedding day, there's one more thing I'd like to say. Given the wedding time is still 4 months away, the two of them will also be together to prepare the wedding. Not necessarily there is a mahram accompanying them, honestly I fear it will cause sin.”
“And from earlier I saw Nak Rendra and Dita several times looking at each other it became adulterous eyes and also sinful. I want to marry them Islamically now so that we as parents are calmer, they are also innocent if often together and to avoid slander in the future." Said Mr. Wijaya who made everyone surprised.
Instantly things became boisterous. Some agree, some reject for various reasons.
“Bun,” Dita wants to protest to her mother.
“Dek, please follow father this time. This is for your good and keep you from adding to sins.” Pinta Mother Hasna.
Dita turns to Adi for support, Adi nods her head so that Dita obeys her father's wishes. He finally resigned and tried to sincerely obey the wishes of the family, especially his father because it was for their good. As he prayed in his heart, this was the best way for them.
Meanwhile, Rendra asked for his mother's opinion.
“If you're ready, mom supports. It is also for your good,” said Mother Goddess.
Then Rendra turned to Shasha.
“I'm just like Mama, if you're ready Brother also supports.” Shasha patted Rendra on the shoulder.
“Ren, Pakde also agreed with Mr. Wijaya, than you accidentally sin better be memorized all. But later you still have to get married officially, which is important now religiously legal. You want all day to look at Dita is no longer sinful.” Advice from God.
After receiving support from his family, Rendra became steady to marry Dita as requested by Pak Wijaya. At the moment he is thinking dowry (1) what he will give because suddenly and he did not anticipate this will happen. He remembered in his wallet there was only three million he had just taken from the ATM last night.
“How Nak Rendra is ready for me to marry Dita now?” Ask Mr. Wijaya.
“Insya Allah is ready Sir, but I can only give dowry of three million, what Pak Wijaya and Dita do not mind?”
“Dita, do you sincerely accept the dowry that Nak Rendra will give?”
“God willingly, the important thing is not burdensome.” Dita. (2)
“Then we can immediately do ijab kabul. Adi, immediately prepared the place.” Order Mr. Wijaya.
Adi assisted with some of his relatives rushed to prepare the place. As if it had been planned before, before long the place for kabul ijab was ready.
Pak Wijaya sat opposite Rendra. Beside Pak Wijaya sat Pak Kadus as a witness from Dita's side. While Pak Dewa sat beside Rendra as a witness from his side.
Dita remained seated in place, flanked by Bella and her mother. He was nervous to the point of making his palms wet.
After everything was ready, Mr. Wijaya shook Rendra's hand.
"Ananda Narendra Daneswara Bin Indra Jayanegara. I marry and I marry you to my daughter Anindita Kusuma with a dowry of three million rupiah, paid in cash.”
“I received the marriage and marriage of Anindita Kusuma Binti Wijaya Kusuma with the dowry mentioned above cash.”
"Well" said the two witnesses.
"Alhamdulillah." A look of relief was seen on the faces of all who were there.
Dita immediately hugged her mother as soon as the witness said the word legitimate. Not feeling the tears both dripping because haru and happy. Bella, Mother Goddess, Shasha and Nisa also shed tears.
Then Mr. Wijaya recited a prayer that was made by everyone.
بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكَ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَكُمَا فِي الْخَيْرِ

The host then asked Rendra and Dita to stand face to face. With Bella escorted, Dita approached Rendra at the place of kabul ijab.
After Dita stood in front of him, Rendra gave the dowry he had mentioned when Ijab kabul. Then Dita kissed the back of Rendra's hand as a sign of her first devotion as a wife. Then Rendra held the crown of Dita and offered a prayer
اللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أَسْأَلُك خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا جَبَلْتهَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِك مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتهَا عَلَيْهِ
It means: O God, I ask You for the good of my wife and what good she brings to marriage. And I take refuge in you from the ugliness of my wife and the ugliness of what she brought up at the wedding.” (History of Imam Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah)
Rendra then kissed Dita's crown and forehead after reading the prayer.
"You're so beautiful today, I love you." Rendra's whisper in Dita's ear after kissing her forehead. It was successful to make Dita's face blush and bow her face in shame.

"Ssshhh .. don't cry when your makeup fades," adi who automatically makes him get a blow from Dita. It is not that Adi does not want to say and be serious, but it is solely that she does so that she does not cry because she has to release her beloved sister is the responsibility of her husband now. Although maybe later Dita will stay with him until the time comes Dita stay with Rendra.
