Sequel My Ustadz My Husband - Prospective Master
The Part 126
The day that Mary and Nabil were waiting for finally arrived. They were married in pesantren and held a simple event. And as always, although he said simple but Abi Khalil family very many members so that the event became lively. What's more, all students are also invited to enjoy their events.
Maria really did not think he would marry a granddaughter of a kiai, his marriage in the boarding school anyway. While her self grew up in America and before her was an atheist, not only was she even...
"Don't daydream..." Maria flinched as she felt a touch on her shoulder along with Afsana's voice. Maria smiled stiffly and shook her head.
The event took place with wisdom, the entire Nabil family congratulated Nabil and Mary and they seemed to be able to accept Mary, or perhaps just trying to accept Mary. But when God has determined one's soul mate, nothing can stand in the way. Maybe that's what Nabil's family thinks so they don't have much to say about Maria.
Although Maria cannot be denied, there are some people who seem to dislike Maria and Maria can feel it from their perspective and those who are not too willing to talk to Maria. Maria could only reply with a smile, because she could understand that she was hard to accept in such a family.
While Nabil was meeting other family members, Afsana came and accompanied Maria.
"You look very comfortable, Maria" said Afsana.
"Just a little nervous mingling with them" Maria replied.
"I understand, but now we're all your family"
"Thank you, Afsana..." Afsana smelled a smile.
"You're the only one who always calls me Afsana. Actually it looks very formal, usually Brother Faraz calls me Afsana when he's angry or talking very seriously"
"Indeed, Faraz could be angry?" ask Maria who made Afsana chuckle.
"It could be, she's not an angel of the times" and Mary's just oh ria. He thought a pious man like Faraz could not be angry.
Afsana accompanied Mary until Nabil came. After that Afsana met Faraz and he whined he wanted to go home, he said he felt nauseous and dizzy. Faraz brought Afsana home to rest his wife.
And the day was getting night, Nabil's relatives had come home one by one but there were some who stayed at the boarding school.
Maryam also said goodbye because she felt very tired. So were Hubab and Lita and Bilal and Asma.
And Nabil also brought Mary to his room because the guests also stayed a few people.
Arriving at Nabil's room, Maria approached Khair, who was still sleeping in her crate.
Maria returned to daydreaming while looking at her daughter. He finds it difficult with Nabil considering some members of the Nabil family who do not like him.
"What's wrong?" asked Nabil who saw Mary looked dreamy, even tonight Maria spent more time daydreaming than enjoying her wedding.
"What's wrong" answered Mary.
"Are you happy we're married?" nabil and Maria asked with a faint smile.
"It's not that..."
"I was just thinking of Khair, afraid he'd wake up"
"Someone was guarding her earlier. Don't lie, Maria. Lying to your husband is a sin"
Mary was silent for a moment, and suddenly she shed her tears. Maria tried to hold him back but the tears just spilled.
"I'm sorry.." - Mary looked down. Nabil frowned confusedly and cupped Mary's cheeks, making Mary look up and stare at him.
"I'm sorry why?" nabil asked, wiping his tears.
"Because.." Mary's breath choked, she felt ashamed to be with Nabil because the inappropriate feeling still enveloped Mary's heart "Because I'm as good as you and your family..." mary said her end while wiping away her own tears.
"Why are you talking like that?" ask Nabil again.
"Because I've been before...."
"Shhhttt..." Nabil placed his finger on Mary's lips, gesturing for her to be silent. Maria's tears were getting broken, she deeply regretted her past. Mary felt claustrophobic every time she remembered that dark time.
"Don't bring that up again, Maria. That is not permissible" Nabil said in a very serious tone, "Your past is not my business, it is your business and God's. While your future, it is my business and hopefully we can together reach God's pleasure with this marriage" said Nabil. Maria tried to stop her crying, trying to catch her breath.
"Thank you for accepting me" said Maria as she stopped crying "Thank you for accepting my child too"
"Now he is our son, Mary" Nabil replied with a smile. He wiped away the remaining tears that were still wetting Mary's cheeks.
"Aren't you afraid people will talk about you later?" ask Mary again.
"Honestly, I was scared at first. I'm afraid of people's responses. What's more they must also see my family background and every time they talk about me or respond to my life, then it will always carry the name of this boarding school" nabil answered honestly and it made Mary's heart gasp and her heart beat. "I tried to forget you too but I couldn't, and then I asked Khalil's grandfather for his opinion. And actually, he was the one who pushed me to get you. He supported me all this time and gave me a lot of advice. Everyone can change, right? And everyone deserves a second chance "
"Oh yeah?" mary asked in disbelief and Nabil nodded.
"Now go take a shower, and I promise you this is the last time we'll talk about this, okay?" nabil and Maria nodded.
While Mary was bathing, Nabil was now looking after Khair and he was staring at this little baby.
Nabil cannot be hypocritical, of course he wants a good woman and comes from a good family as a companion to his life. But his heart loved Mary and Mary had changed, although Nabil was disappointed with Mary and decided to forget her, but his love is getting bigger and bigger in addition to his sympathy also to Maria and her child. So Nabil made the decision with great confidence to have Mary.
"May you grow up to be a sholeh woman, Khair"
