H-1 to wedding | 16 July
At the Fira residence, the guests of the atmosphere study drift away in particularity. All of them are women. The wedding ceremony went well. Starting from the opening of studies and tausiyah about marriage brought by a famous graduate in Semarang. Until reading the holy verse of the Qur'an, prayer and dhikr together.
Fira gracefully wears a tile made from ivory white root embroidery. Khimar layer two match with the robe to cover the chest. The manic-nosed woman bowed solemnly to accept the prayer offered by an ustadzah. He sat with his parents and three children. In front of the guests.
On a long table covered in white cloth decorated with flowers and artificial roots there are several wedding ceremony. Among them are small pearl sparkles, bags, watches, mukena, necklaces and prayer beads. The blessing was certainly a gift from Henry to Fira.
On the other table there are many wedding souvenirs. Each of the small, pretty ribbon bags contained seven sachets of different flavored coffee products and one pearl tasbih. Definitely reserved for guests of study.
After praying together. Now a woman who brought this study event, directed the next session of the event. The expression of a daughter to her parents. Then the words of the fathers to their daughters.
Fira changed the position of sitting together in the opposite direction to his parents. The host of the study then thrust a microphone to Fira. That full warm smile was Fira so trembling clenched the microphone.
Two of Fira's netra wearing brown lenses began to glaze over. "Bismilbornrahmanirrahim, thank God because this teaching event went well. God willing, all who are here are blessed by God. Aamiin ya rabbal alamin."
"A few days ago, my Maghfira Annisa had been hosted by a man who had been waiting for five years. His name was Henry Lee. Praise be to Allah, the power. Plus the steadiness and blessing of the family, I'm willing to be Henry's wife" she said.
"For Mothers, before Fira married Henry. Fira wants to apologize if so much has gone wrong. Not being a good son to your parents. My parents are great parents. Knows very well the journey of Fira's life. Always love and guide Fira and the children of Fira. Thank you for the Father's blessing to Fira and Henry. For Fira, the blessing of parents is important because it is also the blessing of God. Pray for the eldest daughter of these Fathers, so that Fira's marriage to Henry is the last port. God willing, that's all from Fira. Fira loves the Fathers."
Fira was unable to stem her cries, and hugged her parents tightly. His father's face was drowned in the warm embrace of his parents. Ratih and Fatih were so full of tears. Her three-headed eldest daughter is due to have a second marriage tomorrow.
Fira unceasingly kissed the backs of her parents' hands. Again, he always asked for the blessing and prayers of his parents. Fatih and Ratih kissed each other on Fira's forehead affectionately. He wore the khimar that Fira wore.
Fira gave the microphone to her father. Now it's Fatih and Ratih's turn to reveal the message to Fira. For a moment Fatih managed to catch his breath, his chest felt filled with haru feeling as well as happy.
"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, God willing, Fathers always forgive Fira. From the bottom of my heart, I am very sorry for Fira. If Fira gets married, between haru and happy which is difficult to express. Father always pray Fira with Henry to be a family that mawadah warahmah. May your marriage last until His heaven" Fatih said. He handed the microphone to the coach.
"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim, a mother's prayer is timeless for her children. Mother is the same as Father, between haru and happy which is difficult to express said. I always forgive Fira. Fira is our gentle and loving daughter. Mother prayed for Fira and the children got happiness and blessings. God willing, God meridhoi Fira with Henry in building a household," said Ratih.
Fatih and Ratih hugged their daughter again. Tears that shed are a sign of happiness in their lives. If you recall the trials that once hit them-acid, sorrow and bitterness faced together. Family is like a body and energy. If one of them is sick, it will also hurt. If one of them feels weak energy, of course the family strengthens each other's energy.
Two hijab-wearing women who work as photographers do not want to waste the opportunity. They worked professionally to photograph this heart-pounding moment. After hugging her parents, Fira hugged her three children. One by one he kissed the heads of his children. Then kiss the cheeks of her three children lovingly.
"Mama's children are also part of Mama's love energy. With you, Mama can stand firm for our future. Mama just wants one, you brothers have to get along no matter what. Love each other and take care of your brothers. No ex-brother said. The brother is already one blood," Fira told Zayn, Zema and Alira.
"Goddessa, Mama. We love Mama and Papa, too" said Zayn, Zema and Alira.
"Mama loves you and loves you too." Fira kissed each of her three children.
Mom and her kids are drifting in a day. Hugging and crying happily. Especially if you recall the difficult time Fira worked hard to support Zayn and Zema. The more tears sheds her eyes. His embrace now led him to success.
Even the fruit of his patience through trials, God replaced it with matchless happiness. Fira's determination, prayers and earnest efforts can create a bright future with her children.

Now it's time to carve the hena on both backs of Fira's hands. The throne of the bride-to-be Fira gathered with her sisters. Including her closest friends, Medina and Velia. Who came far from Jakarta to arrive in Semarang.
A nasyid group consisting of several women also enlivened this study event. The melodious sound as well as the strains of tambourines so spoil their sense of hearing.
As a friend, Medina was determined to carve the hena on both backs of Fira's hands. This sweet woman does not want to waste the opportunity to color her best friend's happy day. While Velia was busy staring at the device. His fingers surfed on the WhatsApp app. Then seek the Caliph's contact. When the Caliph's contact was found, Velia immediately contacted the Caliph through video.
Time sided with these four friends. The Caliph was quick to pick up a video call from Velia's device. Velia sat down next to Fira. So that the screen of his device can meet face to face between himself, Fira and the Caliph. Medina carved a hena on the back of Fira's hand.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Ibuukk Fira, be happy, yes. Finally married again, hahaha," cried the Caliph.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, this is the son of the first utterances of very frontal origin. Eiy's wedding!" exclaim Fira chuckled.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, auk nih, the Caliph, uh!" reproof Velia.
"Wild, huh! Sorry, yeah, Fir-eike can't come. You see, I'm the same A' Haris just moved to Turkey" said the Caliph.
"Yes, it's nothing. Do it" said Fira.
"Duh, O Allah, you are equally married, hahaha. Henry, right?" seloroh Caliph.
"Didih, your language, Fah! Haha."
"No wonder he has two children, but his speech is still that. It needs to be treated as such," Medina said laughing at the Caliph's remarks.
Velia's fingers thrust the screen of the device in front of Medina, so that the Caliph could come face to face with Medina. Velia and Fira stared at each other while laughing as the jest between them blocked the distance.
"Din, that's what really carved the mahndin!" tegur Caliph.
"Udah really time! Take it easy, I do it professionally" said Medina.
"Just made a cute one, yeah, Din. Let Henry look more and more at the mahendi in the hands of Fira," lamented the Caliph.
"The bride-to-be is not chatty. Even you're the one who's chatty, hahaha," joked Medina.
"Who knows given the same bonus Mrs Boss Fira. What really is?" caliph again.
"Wuuu, the Caliph's base!" Fira chuckles again.
Four friends are joking through video calls as well as treating longing. The busyness of those who now have a family, makes them unable to gather again like before. Although these four women already had children, but they seemed to be good at taking care of themselves. No wonder their faces look so young.

The elite two-story house was separated from the other elite houses. The spacious yard of the house that fit with the number of guest cars. At Henry's residence was also organizing a lecture event ahead of the wedding. The guests are not just the closest friends. Even Henry's family from South Korea was present there.
After passing the opening session of study, tausiyah, recitation of the holy verse of the Qur'an to prayer together. A mustachioed man who was the host of this study, directed the course of the event. Now turn to the session of expression of a boy to his parents. Vice versa.
Henry looked handsome in a long, ivory-white robe sitting in front of his parents. His two narrow eyes began to condense when he saw the papi and mami who had been raising him all along. The big hand held the microphone.
"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, without prejudice to respect and happiness, I am grateful for the presence of all of them at the lecture event ahead of my marriage to Maghfira Annisa," said Henry.
"Some time ago, I Henry Lee had asked my beloved Maghfira Annisa. Thank God, by the power of God and the blessing of our parents, and the steadiness of heart, Fira received a proposal from me. The greatest gift of my life was that Fira and I stepped into marriage" Henry began to tear up.
"For Papi Abdurrahman Lee or Lee Hyun Joong and Mami Intan Dynasty, please forgive Henry if all this time much wrong and distress Papi and Mami. Henry felt he could not make Papi and Mami happy. But from the heart of Henry has the determination to always be devoted to Papi and Mami. Papi and Mami have given Henry many lessons and experiences. Without the affection, prayers and motivation of Papi and Mami, perhaps Henry was not as successful as he is now. Thousands of thanks for honoring Henry's love for Fira. Giving meaning to marriage to Henry. Honestly, Henry is getting more determined to build a household. Henry learned from Papi, to be a loving, wise and authoritative family priest."
The man with the sharp-nosed man bent his knees at the feet of the mother. Tears are not unstoppable anymore then wet Intan's feet. Intan sat on a chair, swiftly shrugging his only son's two shoulders. Henry's embrace was full of love, did not feel his son has now transformed into a man. And will soon build a housewife.
"Mommy and Papi always forgive Henry. You are our only son. We love our baby boy who is now a grown man. Henry is an independent boy. Mami was amazed Henry remained humble under any circumstances. It is time you deserve to have a family that is sadinah warahmah. Mami's prayer is always with you and your little family" Intan said.
Intan and Henry let go of the hug. Intan wiped away the tears of her son that had soaked those cheeks. Henry's breath gasping sensed the fragrance of this precious moment. Then he bent his knees before the papi. He kissed the foot of the middle-aged man sitting in the wheelchair.
If viewed in terms of the face of the child and papi is practically similar. Lee Hyun Joong's oriental face was inherited on his son. Slowly the right hand of her papa stroked Henry's hair. He smiled until the tears were on his cheeks. Henry looked up. Papi and his son looked at each other.
Although he could not speak, but his body language said meaningfully. Only between Henry and his papa would understand the language of affection and mean it. Lee Hyun Joong's facial wrinkle also looked happy because his only son was going to be the head of the family.
So many stories between papi and his son. Ever swallowed the bitterness of life. Sad problem. Until God reunited Lee Hyun Joong with his own flesh and blood. Henry is now the heir.
This happy moment mixed haru is immortalized in the photo. Two photographers repeatedly photographed the family togetherness. Naomi and her teenage sister did not want to miss the happy moment. These two girls were gathered with papi, mami and Henry.
"Sir Naomi and Dik Sakura" Henry said, hugging his two sisters.
Naomi stretches Henry's embrace. "Silver still do not expect, Brother's brother is willing to get married. Brother knows exactly your story. Message Brother, love and take care of Fira and her children. You guys should be happy."
"Goddessa, Brother. So, my brother, when is his marriage? I'm the one who precedes Brother."
"Eitherway! Haha. Honestly, I'm still single."
"Hmm, between Kim Jae Young or Mr Irfan's?"
"But not both, you! Amit-amit, hahaha."
"Congratulations, Brother Henry with Brother Fira. Sakura was happy. Sakura can't wait to know and meet Kak Fira. Looks like our family will be a big family, nih!" sakura semringah. Cute girl parachutes the fusion between papi and her mama.
"You're happy to have another sister" Henry said.
"Happy dong. Especially if there are children Kak Fira-wah a Sakura Ghayda Lee will be a Auntie dong, yes," cried Sakura.
"If Sakura is a Aunt-means Naomi's sister is a bude, hahaha," Henry continued.
"I think I'm the oldest, yeah!" naomi's wrath throbbed.
A photographer directed the Lee family to a photo together. Intan and her husband remained seated. While Henry, Naomi and Sakura stand behind her parents. The clothes they wore looked in harmony. Every corner of their lips carved a smile. So during the photo shoot, the family looked slick and classy.
