The Story of the Children of the Juragan
185. Alhamdulillah sah
Fatim and his mother walked down the stairs. Fatim held his mother's hand, because he felt his legs limp to be used to walk.
Mama Tiwi who knew her son was very nervous, calmed him down by gently rubbing his hands.
When Fatim had arrived near the guests, all of them looked up at him. Leon stared unblinkingly at him.
"Self conscious." papa Marco nudged his son's arm open. Leon wavered, and rubbed his face rough.
'Geez, he really made me not wince.' Leon's mind was anxious.
Even in makeup with simple makeup, it still makes Fatim look beautiful. At that time was also wearing white brocade kebaya, and his subordinates were using rags. Her head was also covered by a matching colored headscarf with her clothes. Not an accesoris and ronce jasmine flowers also adorn his head. Now Fatim is sitting flanked by his parents.
Family members who saw Leon's behavior actually chuckled.
Feeling all is complete, pak pengulu began to convey some important information, before the bridegroom to say the pledge ijab qobul. After that, the sacred event began.
Penghulu shakes Leon's hand and begins to recite the ijab qobul pledge. Leon inhaled a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then began to reply.
Everyone present in unison said 'legitimate'. And that made Leon's heart so relieved. He said the tahmid sentence, while rubbing his face filled with sweat that poured.
Fatim did the same. He rubbed his face while saying the tahmid sentence.
Although only married at home and simple, the important thing was that her husband was able to say the pledge of ijab qobul smoothly.
Penghulu allows for both spouses to shake hands with each other.
Leon and Fatim momentarily looked at each other. The groom extends his hand towards the bride. Which was soon achieved, then Fatim kissed the back of his hand with reverence.
Now it was Leon's turn to kiss his wife's forehead. With his heart racing, he did just that. He seemed to be impatient until he lost consciousness.
Not only did he kiss Fatim's forehead, he also kissed both his cheeks and other parts. Which brought the laughter of his family.
"Leon." whispered both his parents, pulling the end of his lower shirt. And managed to resuscitate the man. He grimaced with shame, because of his actions.
After signing important wedding documents, they are invited to taste the dishes that have been provided.
He also advised with his iron, in order to understand the attitude of his son who is sometimes beyond reason. And reminded him of things related to his duty as a Muslim.
Mama Tiwi reviewed a faint smile, then promised to make her besi request. The two hugged each other before returning home.
After the departure of all members of his family, Mama Tiwi asked Fatim to perform Dhuhur prayers. While everything related to the rest of the marriage, taken care of by his household assistant.
Leon sparkled his face when his mother-in-law told him to go to the room. Shown in his mind, he would do the common thing done by married couples. To make her smile herself.
Without a doubt, the man wrapped his hands around his wife's shoulders, as the two walked down the steps. Fatim slightly gasped in shock when he got such treatment. He looked and tried to smile. After all, Leon has officially become her husband.
Arriving at the room, Leon circulated his sweeping gaze to every corner of the room.
"Good room." he muttered, when he saw the room Fatim quite spacious, with the dominance of pink paint. And some special items of many women are displayed there.
"You can pray first brother. Take water wudhu can be in the toilet, which is right over there." Fatim pointed towards the left corner of his room.
"I want to pray with you. But don't insult me for not being fluent with his reading." Fatim smiled gently looking at her husband's face.
"The person who insults or ridicules the person who is learning is a fool. And I don't want to act that stupid, brother. Instead I'm very happy, because Leon's brother wants to learn."
"Thank you, Fatim." Leon brought his lips closer to his wife's forehead and cheeks. Which made the girl shy.
"Am I allowed to do it later after prayer?"
"Do what?" Fatim asked innocently.
"That is, having a husband-wife relationship on the bed." Leon replies as is. There was no need for codes, for it was impatient that ambushed his heart.
Fatim's face met in red, hearing her husband's request. His heart was also beating fast. Because this is the first time for both.
"Shall it be this afternoon?" fatim asked hesitantly, afraid of offending her husband.
"Well, when else. We get married quickly to avoid sin, right?" Leon raised one eyebrow, also raising the corner of his lips. Naughty fashion towards his wife.
