The Journey of Love Habibah..
Ricky's wedding

Two months after the meeting, the wedding day between Ricky and Nelly will take place around mid-June, which means about 2 weeks away. Ricky's getting closer to the day H he's getting restless. I don't know what made him so nervous. His parents were told of the happy day, and they promised to come 2 days before H. While Nelly herself is getting more diligent in the kitchen, she is getting diligent in trying new menus. He also learned a lot from Habibah in terms of making traditional cakes or modern cakes that are contemporary. Nelly was very excited about it.

The days that awaited arrived, Ricky's parents stayed at Habibah's house. And how happy they could meet and get to know Habibah directly. Because it turns out Ricky very often tells about himself Habibah terutana to his mother.

" I'm glad to see you in person. Ricky's been telling me about you for a long time, but unfortunately we never got to meet. And now at the wedding Ricky can actually meet you son. At school, Ricky often said that he was chasing a girl named Nur Habibah. He said it for a few years , then mom was surprised when she knew the person she wanted to marry someone else. And it turns out you're married.. Though I like you." Karin's mother said to Habibah. Habibah was surprised to hear all that.

" Ehmm.I'm sorry ma'am, that's what is called a non-match. God willing, who is a mother-in-law now is no less good than me, it could even be that she is better than me. Why did I say he was better than me? Because he's the one who's dating Ricky's mother's son. And I'm happy for Ricky" Habibah said, clutching Karin's mother's hand tightly.

" You're really good, I feel lucky to meet you. How lucky is the man who became your husband." Karin's mother really felt admiration for Habibah.

" But unfortunately that's not true, ma'am, if I'm as good as I can be right now I won't be a widow. I am not as good as people see me. I have too many shortcomings, so do not like to exaggerate in judging someone." replied Habibah slightly sounded bitter in the heart.

" You are a widow? How can someone like you be a widow? Since when did you become Nur's widow?" karin's mother was really surprised to hear that even she couldn't believe what she heard.

" It's been a long time, Mom.. Since my son was born, my husband and I have been separated. Well, our marriage couldn't last more than fifteen months. If I were as good as Ricky or mom would say, I wouldn't be like this right now" Habibah said bitterly.

" O God, son, how foolish is your husband. She can't see any diamonds in her hands, I'm sure one day she'll regret her decision to divorce you." Karin's mother hugged Habibah tightly. He believes that if Habibah is not that bad, he has seen how Habibah died he can believe what he has seen. Habibah was speechless, only astonished by the way of thinking ibubkarin who was at a glance similar to Sofia's mother Purnomo.

How could I forget, even I forgot to say goodbye when I got back here. O Allah. for feeling too guilty at Purnomo to forget to say goodbye for leaving in a hurry.

Habibah only realized that she had promised to see Sofia's mother if she would return home, but she forgot because she was in too much of a hurry.

The next day the marriage contract was carried out in the Shafi'i residence. Separate female guests with male guests. The male guest is in the guest room with the groom and the ruler who will marry him. While the female guest is in the inner room with the bride. The marriage contract is full of service, even Ricky only needs to do one time the pronunciation of the contract. After the qobul ijab was spoken, the bride waited nervously until both of Nellypun's palms were wet with cold sweat. After the prayer thread has been recited, it is time for the bridegroom to meet her bride. Nelly's heart was beating very fast, Habibah who accompanied him clasped Nelly's hand so that Nelly could be calmer. Ainun was on the other side of Nelly gently stroking Nelly's back hoping Nelly's tension could be reduced.

The dinner was held afterwards, and now Ricky and Nelly are sitting side by side. Although Nelly's face is more often down in shame because it continues to be teased by the people who are present there. Nelly seems very happy with her marriage. While Ricky himself although looks happy, but attention is sometimes still focused on Habibah.

I feel like I haven't seen and know which one is Nur's husband. Ever since I came here until now when I got married, I've never seen one.

Ricky was suddenly very curious about the whereabouts of Habibah's husband.

"Emmm... Honey, which one is Nur's husband? I don't know yet and haven't been recognized?" Ricky whispered to Nelly who was sitting next to him.

" Oh Habibah has long been divorced from her husband. After giving birth to Zain, her husband left with another woman. Poor dech brother Habibah. But she is a great woman, she can be like now without the support of her family at all. Habibah's sister is Nelly's idol here. Everyone here loves Brother Habibah. Because he is also very good to everyone." answered Nelly innocently. Nelly did not even notice how her husband's face looked when he heard her answer. Ricky felt his chest ache hearing news he never knew at all.

How could you hide all this from me. If I had known this was how you were, I wouldn't have wanted to have this wedding. I will certainly continue to chase you. How do you go through all this alone? How could I not have realized all this from the beginning? Now I can only regret it. Because now I'm married to the woman of your choice, and I can't leave her. How unfortunate you are, someone as good as you how could have fared like this. One day you will find your happiness with the right person. What a fool he who has abandoned you, one day he will regret it. Because there will be no more women like you.

Unknowingly Ricky squeezed his painful chest, not even realizing that his tears were running down his cheeks. Nelly who saw it was shocked.

" Mum, why? You sick? Let's go in first, then you rest first." said Nelly while packing her husband into their bridal room. Nelly seemed so worried to see her husband suddenly like that. Nelly laid her husband's body on their bed, Nelly loosened the clothes her husband wore by opening some buttons on his robe. Ricky just kept quiet, he still could not control the sudden pain he felt.

I'm sorry Nelly.. On this happy day, I cry for others. I promise, I will try to love and love you sincerely. But let me now be like this. Let me enjoy this feeling of pain, and let me enjoy all this on my own.
