The Gema Shahadah Aisyah
Marrying

Cold sweat soaked Umar's palm, he had rubbed it several times using a handkerchief but to no avail. Since departing from the house Umar did not say anything even though Khalid teased him. Umar was busy memorizing the qabul sentence in his heart. It was just a short sentence that should have been easy to say. Nervousness overpowered Umar, fearing making mistakes.

Luxury cars lined up in the hotel parking lot. Umar could tell if Aisyah's family was present. The social gap was so obvious when Umar's car parked among a dozen luxury cars.

"Look at Ummi's son, from earlier was like a robot, very stiff." Ali seduces Umar.

"Ali, don't tease your Mas continue." Maryam pulled Ali close to her so that she would no longer tempt Umar.

As he got closer to the mosque, Umar grew nervous. His hands were cold as ice.

The family near Aisyah was already inside the mosque as well as the party from the Umar family. Not only cars, but their appearance is also different.

Aisyah family compact wearing champagne colored clothes with a variety of models that are very beautiful but still polite. Renata had already arranged the clothes since long ago, he arranged many things for Aisyah's wedding.

On the other hand the Umar family wore a graceful stalling robe, some of them also used a veil like Maryam. The compact male members wear white robes that make them look bright.

Prayers before the marriage contract is held are led by the ruler who is also present in their midst.

Umar and Jaya looked at each other awkwardly when previously they often chatted when Umar visited. Today the atmosphere is different, the atmosphere inside the mosque is also very different.

Jaya's view seemed to imply that after a short period of time, she handed over her eldest son to Aisyah. Jaya and Renata's first love, the child who brings happiness to them. A submissive child who is always a class champion.

Umar nodded faintly as if understanding the meaning of Jaya's gaze. Umar could not promise much, he would do his best for Aisyah. Not with luxury but a simple life full of outpouring of affection.

Now Umar's hand is in the hands of the ruler. Umar straightened his body and held his breath. Or maybe he forgot how to breathe so nervously.

"Ankahtuka wa zawwajtuka makhtubataka Atalie Alindra bint Jaya Alindra alal mahri khamsumiayat 'alf rubia hallan."

"Qobiltu nikakhaha wa tazwiijaha linafsii bilmahril madzkuri haalan"

The witnesses pronounced the lawful aloud after the Ummah recited the qabul sentence smoothly in one breath.

The burdensome burden on Umar's shoulders instantly slipped away at that very moment. Umar raised his hand while his face bowed to recite the prayer after the meeting.

When he raised his face, Aisyah was already at the door of the mosque. With a white wedding dress with a simple model but it makes Aisyah look more beautiful. Aisyah walked slowly with Gracia.

Umar's smile broadened, his eyes glazed with no power to hold the day. Finally, after going through the exam, they officially became a couple.

Aisyah's heart was pounding. It was like a dream when Aisha walked over to Umar. If she dreams, Aisyah will never wake up so that she can always be with the man she loves.

Umar was still timid to stare at Aisyah long ago, he lowered his head rubbing his wet eyes.

Umar laid his hands on the Aisha's crown while whispering prayers according to the Sunnah.

Fireworks burst from the chest as Umar grabbed Aisha's hand and held it for the first time. Both eyes radiate love.

Aisyah kissed Umar's back and palm, and saw Khawla do that to Khalid. Aisyah imitates them. Even now Aisha wanted to kiss Umar on the cheek. Can he do that?

"Kiss your wife's forehead Umar." Khalid.

Umar did as ordered, kissing Aisyah's forehead nervously. Doubtful as to land lips on Aisyah's forehead.

"Mas." Aisyah Brisks.

Umar looked at Aisha, what was Aisha about to say?

"May I kiss you?"

Umar glared and shook his head. Can't be Aisyah.

Aisyah's eyes widened. Wh why?

Umar guided Aisha to sit with him to sign the marriage certificate. Umar's face flushed from Aisha's question just now.

The 500 thousand dowry on the table was laid without any decoration. It was Aisyah's own request including her nominal. At that time Umar asked Aisha himself how much dowry he wanted. Aisha mentioned 500 thousand and made Umar astonished. If the price of Aisyah shoes millions why he only asked for 500 thousand as a dowry. Umar has not received an answer until now.

The sacred procession of sungkeman takes place against the blue. Umar thanked his abah and ummi for raising, educating and providing the best education to him. They have poured love and affection on their children.

"Thank you for opening my way to the religion of God."

"No Aisha, as Umar said, you found religion itself, God who has instilled confidence in your heart, I always pray that Aisha will always be in the way of Allah, welcome to our family."

Aisyah smilingly nodded faintly hugging Zaid. He will regard Zaid as his own father, not his father-in-law.

"Thank you Ummi." Aisyah kissed the back of Maryam's hand and hugged her tightly. Thank you for bringing Umar into the world. The first man who made Aisyah fall in love, as well as the last man.

"May Allah give you much blessing Aisha, the son of Ummi." Brisque Maryam.

"Titip Atalie." Jaya said short, too much he wanted to say until none of them made it out. Jaya had held back her tears with all her might but her tears still melted as she watched Aisyah enter the mosque. Her beautiful daughter is now a wife.

"Thank you Mr. Jaya for giving me the confidence to accompany Atalie."

"Don't call me, Papa."

"Sorry, good Papa."

Jaya smiled broadly patting Umar's shoulder while the other hand wiped the tears on his cheek.

"Umar, take care of Atalie for us, sometimes she's naughty but I beg you not to get angry and yell at her, a lot of things she doesn't know but I hope the dictionary can patiently teach her."

"Bu Renata I mean Mama, I accept Atalie by what she is."

"Thank you, Umar." Renata hugged Umar.

Lunch was held with family and close relatives at the same hotel as the reception later. The two families who came from different social status were in one room, chatting and eating together. It will make them more familiar and appreciate the difference. The difference between the two families will be more beautiful. That is how harmony is created through differences that actually unite the two.

"What do you want to call after this?" Aisyah idly asked, she knew her call to Umar was many but after marriage maybe Umar wanted to be called by another name. "Dear, love?"

Umar held back a laugh while his face was already flushed red. Why Aisyah was good at tempting Umar when there were many people around them. Is usually Aisyah is indeed ignorant. Not wrong again, Aisyah even once mocked Umar with the title of laundry tangled.

"What about you, what do you want to be called?"

"My wife is the most beautiful in the world."

"Isn't that too long?"

Aisyah chuckled, the lecturer of this one indeed could not be invited to joke. That trait may decrease in their children later.

"Where did you get this handsome guy, hm?" One of Aisyah's aunty teases.

"Of course it's in a good place."

"The brown skin is very good, can improve the offspring." His whisper made Aisyah unable to help but laugh. "Hein shuai!"

The 40-year-old woman was surprised because it turned out Umar understood his words when he deliberately used Mandarin.

"Don't get me wrong, our son-in-law is good at Mandarin." Said Jaya, as always proud of Umar's ability to speak Mandarin.

"Where are you planning your honeymoon?" Ask the others.

Aisha and Umar looked at each other. They are not planning a honeymoon.

"No honeymoon plans Suk, I'm busy with boutiques." Aisyah does not want a honeymoon because she is still eager to open a boutique. For him wherever he came from with Umar it will feel like a honeymoon.

*******

The hanging crystal lights are decorated with white roses and orchids as well as foliage. Tables and chairs lined up neatly, on top of which there is a complete cutlery. Feeding pedestals are also white patterned pigeons after Renata's request. Various dishes have been served, halal food that can be enjoyed by all guests.

The ballroom was conjured like a palace with white dominating. The luxurious impression was so pronounced since setting foot on the shiny marble floor reflected the crystal lamp above it.

The ballroom door opened, all the invited guests turned their gaze towards the pair of brides who looked so happy. Their smiles bloomed like the sun in the dry season. The radiating cannot be covered by the cloud.

"Gee!" Aisyah was amazed to see her reception venue, she did not expect that the decoration would be this luxurious. Aisyah did not have time to see it because she was busy preparing the opening of the boutique. It was not wrong for Aisyah to leave all the decor matters to her mama.

"They're all your friends, Mas?" Aisyah glanced at the left and right sides as they stepped together towards the pelaminan. His hand held Umar's arm tightly while holding a bouquet of white roses.

"Don't be surprised, they are a lot."

"A lot of it, my friend to the point of being invisible."

Umar smiled at Aisyah, if he had forgotten how to breathe now he forgot how to blink. Umar's eyes were hot as he forgot to blink while staring at Aisyah. He no longer shyly looked at Aisyah who is now officially his wife.

"Atalie, happy wedding, I'm happy with you getting married." Aisyah's friend got a turn to congratulate her first because of their small number.

"Thank you for coming." Aisyah had to get used to the two calls, Atalie and Aisyah. It was one of the friends of the church community.

"Aisyah, do not expect secretly it turns out you married our lecturer." Sukma congratulated. "I remember half a year ago you said you didn't have a boyfriend." He talked about their trip in Ijen.

"I was single at the time." Aisyah did not lie, until now she had no chance to feel what dating was like.

"There's a broken heart in the back." Sukma whispered while looking back a little.

Tio was right behind Sukma, his lethargic face was not at all excited to be present at the event.

"Congratulations Ayesha." Tio extended his hand.

"Thank you." Aisyah was about to return Tio's hand but Umar immediately withdrew it. Aisyah directly linked her hands in front of her chest, she was not used to doing that yet.

Tio had not had time to get close to Aisyah but he had to retreat far away. Approaching Aisyah was not that easy, suddenly now the girl he liked had married their lecturer. What an unpleasant ending for Tio.

Another heartbroken man soon arrives, it is Felix who brings a lavish gift to Aisyah. Felix carrying a paper bag one of the luxury brands containing clutch. He had to go all the way to Bali to buy the goods because in Banyuwangi is not available. At least Felix gave a special gift before actually saying goodbye. Although Felix had previously said he would give up but the news of Aisyah's marriage was too soon.

"Congratulations!" Ayana and Khanza came closer to Aisyah.

"Finally after a rainstorm you marry the same man you have long been afraid of." Babe Ayana.

"Trust me there is no better than Gus Umar to be your life companion." Khanza also gave a gift to Aisyah.

"But we can still go to study together, not Ustadz your own husband."

"I'm still going but sitting next to Ustadz is okay?" Aisyah glanced at Umar teasing him.

"Can." Umar answered with pleasure.

Aisyah could not help her smile, Umar was adorable, she wanted to bite her cheek.

"Sir Umar, take my best friend who does not know anything about this." Gracia's turn congratulated.

"Your best friend will know a lot of things after this." Reply Umar.

"I hope you are always happy and together continue." Gracia gave Aisyah a tight hug. After this no one stays at his boarding place anymore. After graduation, Gracia will also go to Semarang to continue her education.

"Thank you, yeah." Aisyah patted Gracia on the shoulder, her only friend who knew her best.

They took pictures together many times with various poses before the turn of Umar's friends got a turn up to the pelaminan.

"So this girl who already knew Aisha, Prophet Muhammad, Khadijah and Umar." Imran advanced the very first congratulating the happy bride.

"Don't look for long." Umar covered Aisha's face with his hands.

"Geez Gus, I'm married."

"Then keep your eyes on that."

"Waiting 30 years is not a problem because finally Gus got a special wife like Aisyah."

"Thank you Aiman."

Umar was restless because of his friends who like to flirt. He should have asked Aisyah to wear a veil so that no one would see her beautiful face.

"Don't be fierce with Gus' wife."

"Come on, since when have I been fierce?"

They laughed because they had seduced Umar. When he was in college, Umar had the task of teaching the children of Madrasah Tsanawiyah and many students said Umar was always serious and rarely joked. They thought Umar was a terrible teacher.

"Your friends are funny." Mumbled Aisyah after getting a chance to sit down. Guests are enjoying their food.

"They have a knack for joking."

Aisyah brought her face closer, and she saw Umar's eyelashes falling down. He raised his hand to take the eyelashes on Umar's cheek.

Umar was tense being very close to Aisyah, he was about to rewind his face but Aisyah first touched his cheek.

"Someone misses you."

"Do you believe that myth, my wife?"

Aisha's turn was tense because for the first time Umar called her that way. Aisyah immediately regressed her face and tried to control her facial expression.
