The Love of Habib
Chapters 29.3

Dad turned to his side, giving Grandpa a 'please' gesture to speak first. Grandpa nodded his head. With a serious and radiant face, Grandfather raised his old hand to hold the shoulder of habib Khalid.

"Son, Aish to me is both the beloved granddaughter and beloved daughter of my life. He is the color for me. If he is sad then I will be sadder for him, if he is happy then I am happier for him. Aish has a lot of flaws that I can't explain one by one. He is irritable, stubborn, and hard to give up. These three points alone are a test that you cannot underestimate. But know that the character can grow in Aish because of the life experience that has been experienced to this magnitude. In spite of all that, I admit that he is full of flaws, being able to be with you is pure because of the power of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. God knows how complicated my girl is. Son, can I ask you one more time? With all the flaws and advantages in Aish, will you make Ais the mother of your world?" Behind Grandfather's frail body, he tried to stand straight and firm before the habib. Use the tone as firmly as possible to get a guarantee of the happiness of his beloved grandson in the future.

In this world he had long since devoted the life of Aish to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And when God sends the figure of the Habib in the life of his grandson, the Grandfather hopes that Aish's next steps will be filled with laughter, jokes, and cheer that has not been freely felt so far. He hoped that when he was no longer in this world Aish would not live in constant loneliness. He has the habib, a handsome male figure who will be the best and most sturdy backrest in the world.

With resolute eyes and a convincing tone of voice, the habib spoke back.

"For God's sake, only God knows my heart. What a desire to make Aish happy. And I am absolutely certain of my choice. As Grandpa knew that my race for her had never changed since many years ago. The distance and promise that separated us made me miss him even more. Let alone being my heretic in this world, by Allah, I wish to make her my Surga woman in the hereafter. I only want Aish, both in the world and in the afterlife. Except Aish, I don't want it." Say habib really.

Habib's answer immediately shook the hearts of the listeners. They were amazed and amazed by the answer firmly habib. In addition, they also wonder who is the woman who has succeeded in making the habib fall so badly as to be unable to turn away from him?

Some of the people from the boarding school who knew who the woman was clearly did not speak much but admiration never escaped the twinkle of their eyes. While for people who do not know who the woman is obviously very curious and really impatient to see or extraordinary the woman. Of course, that woman was amazing. Otherwise, how could the habib fall to this point?

"God, what a lucky woman..."

"I wonder what that woman looks like?"

"Is he a Sharifah? No way, even though he comes from the family of habib Alamsyah, then why don't I see his title in the invitation letter?"

"Maybe not a Sharifah, but a wonderful woman. Could she be so pretty?"

All sorts of discussions sounded among the crowd. Neither Habib Khalid nor Grandfather and Father were bothered at all by their discussions. As if deaf, they ignored the voices.

"Alhamdulillah... I'm glad to hear your answer. I'm relieved that you're willing to bring my dear granddaughter to the longest service in the world and perfect half the religion." After Habib Khalid gave a definite answer, then Grandfather could smile widely. His smile was extremely wide and bright, as if the stone that had weighed down his heart was yawning somewhere.

After Grandpa spoke, it was my turn to speak. In front of the habib, Dad seemed to be very embarrassed. He thought habib Khalid would underestimate him, but surprisingly the habib was very polite and respectful as Aish's father.

"I am guilty of him and his mother. He has many wounds in his heart. As an irresponsible father, I only beg one request of you. Please don't bring another woman into your household. She must have had a deep trauma to my decision to bring another woman into the family. Indeed I understand that it is only natural for men to marry more than one woman to multiply offspring, let alone you who are from noble society. I understand this, but I beg with all my selfishness, please do not let my daughter down. He has to be happy, he deserves to be happy, he deserves to be happy. I'd feel so guilty if she got hurt again with her new home. So I beg you, O Habib, please take care of my daughter, make her the only queen in your household and ruler of your heart." Father pleaded with a soft voice, mixed with a sense of regret that could not be covered from within his eyes.

After going through it all, she realized that what she had been doing all this time was wrong and what she had done had really hurt Aish. And the most painful thing in his heart was that, as a father, he was unable to give a fair affection to his other daughter just because of his love for his wife. When time can be turned back, he will redeem the days of suffering Aish went through with loving care.

"Dad. Like I said before. Not only did I make Aish the angel of the world, but I also wanted to make her my Surga woman. That is, I will not take another woman into our household because I am quite enough with an Aish. Polygamy is allowed, our religion does not prohibit it as long as it is qualified and can be fair. But I really can't do that. I can't give justice to another woman because Aish is the only woman I want. Never turn to another woman, just thinking about her makes my heart hurt so much. I am utterly incapable, unable to turn away and unable to be fair to others. If a man cannot qualify, then Allah says that it would be nice for him to marry only one woman. For one woman alone has much trust and test in her. So in this life Aish is my bidadar, and in the next life she is my Surga woman. If it wasn't him, I really wouldn't want it. By Allah, my heart is already wholly owned by Aisha Rumaisha, my soul mate." This series of words once again drew praise from many around. Especially for the women who had the most reactions. Some of them feel heartbroken because they have no chance.

Who would not want to marry a habib, conceive and raise a noble offspring, obviously this is the desire of many women. Moreover, habib Khalid was born handsome and well-established, this excess has the most fatal temptation in the heart. But after hearing the answer and the immediate acknowledgement of the habib, they were immediately discouraged. There seems to be no room for them.

Dad rubbed the corners of his wet eyes. There is also pain. He really did not think that the person who became the source of happiness and promised to protect his daughter was someone else, not himself as a father. But he was very moved because the happiness of his daughter was immediately guaranteed by the habib. He was not really worried about his daughter's future if the man was Khalid's habib.

"Thank you.I can now calmly think. The promises you make will always be etched into my head, son. So don't try to deny it." Said Dad pretending to be fierce.

Habib Khalid smiled with relief.

"God is his witness." Said mean.

Then Dad and Grandpa looked at each other, smiling, they both opened the way to Habib Khalid, then let him into the building where the event was held.

"Come, Son. Come inside." Said Dad inviting.

Habib Khalid took a deep breath. Once freed from Father and Grandfather, this time he would justify Aish in front of many people. How nervous he was now, but he did not feel any trepidation at all. Instead he was very happy because today under the supervision of many people he would claim Aish as his own. Only one of his.

"Bismil was bornRahmanirrahim, O Allah, today, I leave everything to You, O Most Romantic. And today I hope that every step I take with my wife is kept in Your protection, and always get pleasure from You, O God." Whisper the habib while raising his right foot stepped into the building.

Once inside the building his eyes were immediately spoiled by various kinds of typical wedding decorations are very beautiful also beautiful. Everything was filled with the sparkle of the flower and dominated was the red rose, the flower that Habib Khalid used to describe his feelings for the soulmate. The flowers are deep red, fully blooming and have a sweet fragrance but do not make nausea. When decorating this building, habib Khalid specifically asked them to use a variety of fresh flowers are also interesting for his happy event, especially red roses that have the deepest meaning in the heart of the habib.

"The groom has arrived. Let's sit down because the show is about to start." The host directly directed habib Khalid sitting on the pulpit.

Immediately after that all the invited guests sat down on their respective seats, they naturally quietly listened to a hafidz who was asked to open the sacred event by reading a Quranic scripture quoting about a marriage. These verses are usually read at weddings, as a form of how grateful the two brides are met in a household.

The soft sweet voice that dipped beautifully in everyone's hearing was like a cool dew that had a sense of soothing heart and soul. It was as if the refreshing cool dew washed the hearts of the souls who wished for the Ridho of the Almighty.

After reading the Qur'an, the event could finally begin.
