Wife Candidate Substitute
26. Call Me ’Abang’
”Why would you marry my daughter?” ask Soleh to start interrogating Malik.
”Because I loved your daughter at the beginning of the first time I met her.”
Soleh nodded at Malik's words. ”I salute your courage here, all the way from Jakarta just to express your feelings and propose to him. Hana, are you willing to marry her?” sanya Soleh turned to her daughter's face.
”Mm, Hannah ... Hana wants Pa,” replied Hana hesitated.
”Alhamdulillah,” Malik said unknowingly making the three turn towards him.
”Indeed, you guys brought the letters to register with KUA?” ask Soleh.
”Not Pa, we are here because we want to ask for blessing first,” replied Hana.
”Mm, how about we marry siri first when we get to Jakarta we immediately take care of everything. What do you think of Mr Soleh?” ask Malik.
Soleh stared at Malik intensely trying to convince his heart if Malik is the best mate for his daughter considering he had already clopped with Jaka his best friend's son in this village.
”Actually Papa heavy if you have to marry you, now moreover it's just a series marriage you know Nak, living in the village and in the city is different. What if Hana becomes a gossip, let alone her marriage will suddenly arise many questions in the community and they think surely my daughter is doing things that are not good in the city, what do you think Mama?” ask Soleh to his wife Rita.
”Yes if it is better not a problem Pa, after all to avoid slander as well let alone they have often gone both ways, the name netizen good or bad will definitely be commented,” said Rita.
Malik reached into his pocket and handed him a small, navy velvet box. ”I only had time to bring the ring, the rest I will take care of after coming home from here.”
Suck her breath slowly. ”Alright if indeed you both intend to live all this, Papa can only give you both blessing. Papa call Mr. Amir first yes to marry you two and some witnesses here.”
Soleh immediately prepared everything he did not want to disappoint his daughter even though his little heart had hesitated because Malik was a city person and he thought his nature would be the same as Eric the man who canceled to be his son-in-law.
”All are ready Ma, Pak penghulu has come,” said Hana.
”MasyaAllah you are so beautiful Son,” praise Rita.
”Do not overly praise later I become a big head,” said Hana.
”Already come out, guests are waiting in front.”
Rita leads her daughter to a front that has many guests who are her own neighbors.
”Are you ready Nak?” ask Mr. Amir as a ruler.
”Ustadz,” replied Hana.
”I received marriage Hana Puspita Sari bint Mahendra Wijaya with dowry paid in cash,” said Malik.
”How are the witnesses legitimate?”
”Sah!”
”Sah!”
”Alhamdulillah, Al Fatihah,” said Mr. Amir chanting prayers to both brides and guaranteed by the invited guests who attended.
”You are legally married religiously, papa hope you formalize it legally soon. Malik please hold your word after coming home from here please immediately register your marriage to KUA.”
”Good Pa, then we excuse you first.” pamit Malik who immediately invited Hana to leave for Jakarta that night.
”Be careful yes, if it has arrived please contact us immediately,” said Rita.
”Good Ma, we'll excuse you. Assalamualaikum,” say goodbye Hana and Malik immediately check in to enter the airport.
”Waalaikumussalam.”

”We go home to my house yes,” bargain Malik.
”But I didn't bring a change of clothes,” Hana replied.
”No need to worry later so Bik Surti who prepared everything,” said Malik immediately turned his wheel to his home.
Hana scrolls through her phone and searches for her sister's name.
”Hallo Kak, astaghfirullah why did I not get married anyway!”
”Eh horrified first, tonight sister does not go home ya.”
”Loh want to directly tap gas?”
”Astaghfirullah said that, it's Vin's night, so tomorrow morning brother just came home this new arrival at Mr. Malik's house. Yes I closed it first yes, Assalamualaikum.”
”Waalaikumussalam.”
Hana turned off her phone and it turned out that Malik was looking at her with a gaze that was suit read.
”What's up, why see me so?” ask Hana.
”From now on don't call me ’Pak’ I'm not your husband,” Malik said.
”Eh, yes then what should I call?” ask Malik.
Instead of answering Malik was getting closer to Hana.
”Call by the name of Brother how? Change our greeting so ’aku, you’ understand right?” malik.
”Good, adalagi?” ask Hana.
”While enough is first, let's go down if Emil knows for sure he will be very happy,” Malik replied.
”Absolutely he's home?” ask Hana.
”Not yet, tomorrow we pick him up all take care of the letters made to KUA. We rest first,” said Malik holding Hana's hand into his house.
”Assalamualaikum Bik Surti,” saya Hana.
”Waalaikumussalam, uh Non Hana here,” say Bik Surti.
”Bik please prepare the clothes that I used to buy for Sabrina yes, love it to Hana to change,” said Malik.
”Sayang I went to the bathroom first yes later wait Bik Surti love change clothes later followed to my room,” continued Malik.
Hana nodded making Bik Surti become more curious about the attitude of his boss.
”Non, what's up?” ask Bik Surti to investigate.
”He ... he .. Where is Bik?” reply Hana.
Bik Surti was forced to head to the guest room where Sabrina's clothes were there.
”This shirt is Non, relax it is still new nightshirt Non Sabrina who bought Mr. Malik but never used at all,” explained Bik Surti.
”Still Bik, I went to the room first yes,” said Hana.
”Non,” call Bik Surti.
”Iya what's wrong?” tanya Hana turned towards Bik Surti.
”Mm, is that true?” bik Surti asked with a shy smile.
”Jawab no yes?” Hana broke her smile. ”Ask him only Bik, let him answer.”
Hana stepped back into Malik's room. There was the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
”Is he in the shower?” hana Mumbles.
Faithfully Hana waits on her net sofa tracing every corner of the room, ”Why are you working tables here?” hana Mumbles.
Waiting for Malik to come out, Hana falls asleep on the sofa.
”Honey,” call Malik.
”Eugh, sleepy once,” down Hana.
”Mandi first new break!” malik said while Hana still blinked her eyes.
”Aarrgh ..” shouted Hana covered her face with her palm.
Hana felt embarrassed especially in front of her is a torn bread overgrown with a little fine fur makes Hana's mind immediately traveling instantly.
”What's up?” malik asked, remain calm.
”Wear clothes Bang!” exclaim Hana.
Malik took his breath slowly. ”Darling, you forgot we're married so there's no ban if I'm like this ’ right? Open your eyes!”
The distance between the two was getting closer Hana held her breath her heartbeat pounding, Malik seemed to deliberately erode the distance and tease Hana.
”Yes Allah, help me,” muttered Hana.
