In a short second I waited for his answer, and when I heard him my heart cheered with joy at him, he was the one I had been looking for all this time
Thank God, God wants me to cry right now, but the shame that dominates my heart seems to hold the crystal clear that will appear in my eyes
he's the one I'm looking for, he's the one I've always asked for in the third of my night, and he's the one I always call in my bow, he's the one, he's the answer, Louis Aslan, Louis Aslan, the white knight riding I was waiting for
after everything was ready, we set off for the agreed mosque last night, we set off in a different vehicle
he was with his family who had been waiting in their cars, and I of course left with Rama and mother, dear brother Abyan and Absyar could not accompany me, Egypt-indonesia is not a short distance let alone just in the course of an hour
Cairo-Indonesia took approximately 13 hours and my wedding was not a wedding that was drafted and planned in advance, abyan promised to buy a beautiful white Abaya for my wedding
'well, man can only plan while God determines'
isn't that....?
God is the ultimate breaker of every matter, whether God allows according to the plan we have designed or God has a more beautiful plan for us to live
the peaceful morning came back bustling as I crossed the main road, the breadwinners had already started their mandatory routine to fill the city streets, the scenery that you will always meet when living or visiting a big city
but I was lucky today because the road is not as crowded as usual, and thank you because the highway today is not jammed
it did not feel we had reached the Mosque that had been agreed last night, mother and Khola brought me into the Mosque first
I glanced at the room of the Mosque which had been arranged in such a way, a seat separated by satire between the place of men and women
the men's place is near the pulpit while the women's place is behind the satire at the back near the entrance for women
seeing it made me smile, there was a bit of curiosity that started to tickle my mind, so I ventured to ask my mother
"mother, whose concept is the place...? Rama or mother....?"
I did not expect to be drafted according to my wishes, my wedding, and more surprisingly, because the concept was as well prepared, even the decoration is very beautiful
before I had imagined that my marriage would only be attended by Rama, mother and Khola as witnesses, but when I saw this, the feeling of haru flooded the recesses of my chest, even my extended family all came, except for Abyan and Absyar of course, and his family also came though not all
don't blame me if the clothes I wear are my favorite blue plain hijab, who would have thought if it would be this fancy......?
"not Rama and not mother"
mother's answer confused me of course, or maybe the mother who conceptualized this is WO (Wedding Organizer)....?
"do you mean the WO that you hired...?"
I again asked, only to fill the time when heading to the second floor of the Mosque, I was also confused as to what we went upstairs for
isn't the show downstairs....?
or is there another wedding today....?
lest I misunderstand if below is my wedding contract, maybe I am too confident....?
"not really, but Louis prepared, including the WO and the concept"
when I heard Mom's answer I was a little incredulous, instead of what, I mean, she...? my future husband....? really true....?
"cook anyway....?"
I went back to making sure, more precisely, to convince myself that he was the one doing this
"this is the story, Tanya...? or do you want to argue....?"
Khola who had been silent since then responded, maybe Khola was anxious with my question that seemed to not believe if the one who did this was Louis
"hehehe, the end still can't believe"
I smiled broadly showing my teeth neatly lined up
"sometimes we don't have to indulge in what we want, the person who has established himself to be a friend after a life as heavenly as we will understand us, and will give us what we need, he said, it is not what we want, even if we do not ask for it directly, because it is his duty
just like Zu and Louis, a little bit of Louis had studied and found out about Zu, for that Louis came to ask Zu, didn't you think....?"
khola's last explanation made my lips itch to accidentally say "his marriage because it was forced by the citizens as well"
"sure just because of that....? Louis could have refused, and Zu, Khola was sure Rama had given Zu a choice, right...?"
I was just in a state of silence trying to extract my memory of Louis's calmness and how he easily accepted this marriage, because Louis could have refused and proved that Louis and I were not the culprit
"sometimes Zu, it doesn't take long to recognize our soul mate, Khola doesn't believe in love at first sight, much less, Khola does, love that presents sincerity can not only see love directly with sincerity
but when we love God, it will be easy for us to love a creature who also loves God, sometimes not always appearance and thought that is not in line, especially a Muslim, but also a Muslim, appearance shows what is in his mind and feelings"
really true....?
I began to sort out and pick out every flash of what happened to me and Louis, and I began to realize that what Khola said was true
just as I chose him because of God, so did he, there's no way he'd marry a woman he didn't already know....?
even though he only knew the woman for a few minutes, if he had found what he was looking for in her then he would definitely not have passed it by
the soul mate is like a lock and lock, it does not take long to open the lock if the key we use is the right key
we have reached the top floor, more precisely one room that is designed specifically for the dressing room
there is already neatly hanging a simple white hijab complete with Khimar, socks and a thin scarf sprinkled with jewels that form a neatly arranged flower frame
do not forget the bouquet of white Lily flowers tied in ribbons, and there are some small jewels located on the dresser
"this is also him who prepared....?"
I turned to my mother and Khola to make sure, and as expected, nodding to them was the answer
"now sit down, let mom and Khola help prepare"
Khola led me to sit in a chair in front of the dresser
"Zu doesn't want to be in a weird makeup, doesn't want a tabaruj"
I filed my protest, even before Khola could sweep the cleaning cotton she was holding
"yes dear, calm down, where it is also possible that the mother and Khola allowed our beloved to commit violations of Shara's law'
we also want the marriage of Zu, in accordance with Islamic law, we also want the pleasure of Allah, both from the process, its implementation until later Zu and Louis can wade through the household that brings sakinah, mawadah, warohmah"
the atmosphere of the day again enveloped my heart, I quickly rushed into the arms of my mother and khola
"love you guys"
my tears that I had been holding back from earlier finally broke as well
"even cry, already do not cry, mother help prepare yes, let not too long"
I no longer understood what they were doing to my face as I sat in front of the dresser with my eyes closed
the subtle sweep that I felt on the surface of my skin delivered a magic essence that was able to bring about sleepiness that from last night went nowhere, I seemed to forget what was happening to me right now and fell asleep in a gentle swab of makeup brushes on my face
all I knew was that when Khola woke me up and asked me to change my headscarf for the beautiful white headscarf I saw before, I was still confused and in a daze like I was waking up in the middle of nowhere and just following the instructions Khola gave me
staying up all night is not a good thing to do, especially when it is approaching an important day, but how else, last night was an event that was outside my plans and so was staying up, too, I have no plans to do that, if I slept earlier is also not something I intentionally, right....?
