Want me to Be With You
Episode 38's
The rain is so durable late at night, even the frequency is increasing. Even so, Fauziah still felt warm in the arms of her husband. Due to the rain that never subsided, Aqmal missed the dawn prayer time. In a hurry, he went into the bathroom doing the morning routine and did not forget to take ablution. As soon as he performed the morning prayer in the room. After praying, he approached his wife who painstakingly combed her waist-length hair.
"Zah, we're going to Mama's house in the morning. Last night Mama meseg Abang but forgot to tell Ziah" said Aqmal took over the comb in his wife's hand. Slowly, but surely, he combed his wife's hair.
"Yes" said Fauziah. Pulling a smile, Fauziah felt like a queen who was treated with privilege by the king.
"Does a dating person also do something like this?" tanya Fauziah looked at Aqmal through the mirror.
Aqmal chuckles. Either he has to say yes or say no. The reason is, when he and Lis were dating first, he had done that. But that was when the two had not officially become a halal couple. Ls it? What can be said yes. Should couples who have not been together in the room? No, they are afraid of being caliph.
"That is not yet legal to be a husband and wife, this is not recommended to be done. A Muslim woman's hair is aurat. You know, you've made that mistake. Understandably, you used to lack reading" explained Aqmal.

Ali-instead of asking Aqmal and Fauziah to go home, Mother Sakila and Father Fikram actually met at the house of the Fauziah family. Grandma's mansion is still one subdistrict, one district, but different complex. Malik's family and Darussalam's family sat down to enjoy hot coffee and some pieces of cake bought at a neighboring stall.
Long talking, Mother Santi resigned to the room to take the money given by invited guests, when Fauziah and Aqmal married how many days ago. Fractional money of 100 thousand and 50 thousand is not small in number. Back with a happy sparkling face, Mother Santi sat next to Mother Sakila.
The pile of money held by Mother Santi invited questions, until the question managed to come out of the mouth of Fikram's father.
"You going to the bank?" ask Fikram's father.
"Where might I go to the bank, want to do something there" explained Mommy Santi put the money on a glass table.
Mother Santi sighed softly. Only Uncle Zaki and Father Fikram don't know about the money. "It's money from those who fulfill our invitation"
"Everything?" Uncle Zaki rounded his eyes in disbelief.
"of course. You should give thanks, the money could be used by our niece and her husband" Aunt Nova replied.
"What about rice debt and other groceries?" ask Uncle Zaki again.
"It's gone" Grandma replied. Because it was Grandma who held the money at that time, so Grandma knew how much they spent at the wedding. Approximately 100 million, already by renting party equipment and other fittings.
Their gazes were sidetracked as Aqmal and Fauziah walked out of the room.
"Do we make mistakes?" ask Fauziah seriously.
Aqmal sighed softly. That question was also what he asked. "I don't know either" she replied briefly.
Like Father Fikram and Uncle Zaki, Fauziah and Aqmal stared at the amount of money. I wanted to ask, but I was embarrassed.
Grandma cleared her throat, confirming her sitting position. Then he looked at Fauziah and then Aqmal. "That's money for you, from the people who attended your wedding"
"That much?!!" Both Aqmal and Fauziah rounded their eyes with their mouths open.
"Yes, the total number of 63 million " explains Mother Santi.
"Masiah Allah ... May Allah double their sustenance. Aamiin" Aqmal pray.
