Your Spirit from the Water of My Eyes
S2 Chapter 117. Alhamdulillah Accepted.
Instantly the atmosphere turned silent as Fathir expressed his wish in front of everyone. There was no tension, nervousness, nor fear on the man's face. Even he said it resolutely, accompanied by a sincere smile with a radiant face made everyone feel the sincerity of his words.
"By saying bismillah, I plead with God to step foot into this house, and by asking both of you for permission, I want to make Ayun my wife" Fathir said later.
Fathir felt very relieved because he had expressed all his wishes well and smoothly, to make everyone feel moved, especially Ayun who was now down with teary eyes.
Abbas also looked at Fathir in admiration. His heart was relieved when he heard the man's words, as well as Hasna who had repeatedly wiped her tears.
"Thank you for coming to our house, Fathir. I feel overwhelmed by what you're saying, and happy that you're falling in love with my daughter Ayun" Abbas said. He then turned his head towards Ayun who was still looking down.
"That is our daughter Ayun, the eldest daughter whom we hold dear. She is an independent woman and does not talk much, she is also a woman who always maintains her self-esteem and morality. She truly is a woman worthy of love and happiness."
Swing straight up his head and looked at the father with a flood of tears, he felt stunned when he heard the words that were very touching from his father.
Abbas smiled as he looked at Ayun, nodded his head and looked back at Fathir.
"We gave you permission to marry our son, Fathir. But, it would be nice if you have your own body that answers your wishes earlier," continued Abbas. He got up from his seat and moved to Ayun's side.
Everyone seemed tense as they looked towards Ayun, especially the woman's family who felt anxious if Ayun was not ready to accept Fathir's proposal.
"Yun, my daughter," said Abbas, wiping the top of Ayun's head, causing Ayun to look at him with sadness. "Tonight, there was a nice man who came to our house to ask permission to marry you, son. Papa and Mom gave her permission, but we leave all the decisions in your hands. Whatever the decision is, papa and mom will still support it." He smiled as he rubbed the tears of Ayun who continued to flow profusely.
Ayun nodded while trying to hold back her cries, she then turned to look towards Fathir who had been looking at her with love since.
One moment Ayun closed both eyes, to reassure herself of the answer she would give to Fathir.
Seeing Ayun silent, Fathir began to be agitated. He who had been feeling confident, now began to waver too if the woman was still not ready to accept his love.
"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, in the name of Allah, I accepted the proposal of brother Fathir, and God willing I am ready to be his wife" Ayun said with a soft voice.
Deg.
Deg.
Deg.
Fathir's heart skipped a beat as he heard the word for word that Ayun said. She was completely distrustful of the woman's answer, making her feel that none of this was real.
"Alhamdulillah" cried Farhan and all those who were in that place.
Everyone cheered in delight upon hearing Ayun's reply, a sea of gratitude echoed in that place, especially from Ezra, Adel, and also Faiz who really felt very happy upon hearing it.
"Congratulations, Papa!" faiz said firmly while pounding his papa's body from behind, bringing Fathir's daydream to a halt and he jumped in shock at what his son was doing.
"Alhamdulillah, dear. Congratulations to you," said Alma, patting Fathir on the shoulder slowly. Tears of happiness could not be held back and fell soaking in the face, making Fathir realize if what was happening right now was truly reality.
Everyone laughed amusedly when they saw the look on Fathir's face that looked confused, obviously the man must have felt very shocked because his proposal was accepted by Ayun.
"What, is Ayun really willing to marry me?" fathir asked his mother slowly, he was still really hard to believe everything.
Hearing the papa's reply, Fathir immediately turned to Ayun who had been looking at him with shame. It seemed that the woman immediately lowered her gaze when she met her eyes.
"What's up, Fathir? Don't you believe what you heard?" abbas asked, shaking his head.
Fathir shook his head while smiling widely. "No, Mister. Now I have believed, and I feel very happy that Ayun is willing to accept me."
Everyone smiled happily at Fathir's words, although they were anxious to see the man's reaction when Ayun gave an answer.
After Ayun received Fathir's proposal, Alma immediately opened the offering he brought for Ayun.
All eyes immediately stared in admiration as they looked at the contents of the medium-sized velvet box opened by Alma. There was a set of jewelry that looked very sparkling because it was made of real diamonds, making anyone who looked at it feel fascinated.
"You, Son. Aunty will put it on for you" said Alma softly as she asked Ayun to come forward.
Swing was stunned when he saw the jewelry brought by Fathir and his family, all of it was really very luxurious and the price must have been very expensive.
"But Auntie, this-"
"You go, son," cut Hasna off while patting the back of Ayun's hand.
Swing immediately turned to the mother who was shaking her head, as if giving a code that she should not refuse a gift from her future father-in-law.
Without saying anything, Ayun immediately advanced toward Alma. The middle-aged woman then paired a necklace, bracelet, and ring to her ring finger to make her chest beat back.
"God, you look so beautiful, son," said Alma as she kissed Ayun's forehead.
Swing immediately crucified the hand of his future father-in-law while saying thank you, not forgetting he glanced at Fathir who was smiling warmly in his direction.
"Oh my God, I never thought I'd feel this kind of happiness again." Swing returned Fathir's smile sincerely.
After all the items were handed over to Ayun, the two families began discussing the wedding for them. Moreover, there was no longer any reason to postpone it for too long.
"As per the agreement, Ayun and Fathir's marriage will be held next week. So, starting today-"
"Sorry to interrupt Papa's words." Suddenly Ayun made a sound to say Abbas had to stop.
"Yes, Honey. What's up?" abbas asked in wonder, and so did all the people who were there.
"I'm sorry if I've been disrespectful, but I want to say something to everyone" Ayun said, staring at everyone, then her gaze stopped as she turned to Fathir. "I want our wedding to be held in two weeks' time."
