"Hello. Assalamualaikum."
said Zain who opened the conversation on his phone.
"Waalaikumsalam, mas Zain, what's wrong? how did Tumben call Asma'?"
asthma's voice sounded so clear from there.
"How are you doing As?"
"Alhamdulillah, Asthma' is healthy and good only mas."
"Alhamdulillah if that's it".
"How is it yourself?"
"Yes, thank God I'm also healthy."
"Oh yeah, why call Asma'? why tumben?"
"Why? can't it be, right?"
"It's not like mas, it means the collision of the Asma' call, it's not usually, what's the wind again?"
"Yes, I want to say goodbye to you."
"You saying goodbye? where are you going?"
"They got an As scholarship, so I'm going to Cordoba."
"Loh, I'm leaving anyway."
"Yes As."
"Alhamdulillah, Asma' was horrified, finally mas can go there too."
apparently from his words, Asma' looks so happy to hear the good news from his brother.
Zain was silent for a moment on his phone.
"Judah As, I just want to say that."
"Yes mas, But Asma' sad because it can not directly meet with mas Zain, Asma' would also want to take Zain mas to the airport, hug mas Zain before mas Zain left."
"Can't you come here for a minute?"
"Asma' doesn't know either. Ntar deh Asma' permission used to be the same Abuya to meet briefly with mas Zain. All Asma' also want to meet the beautiful Mother Ica, Asma' kangen."
Zain framed his smile.
"That's why you came here, Kafa mas there is also a walimahan event today".
"Astagfirullah haladzim, yes Asma' just remembered mas, yaudah deh Asma' will try to come there."
"Yaudah, you hang up."
"Assalamualaik."
Zain ended his conversation, then closed by Asma' from there with his greetings.
The day went by so quickly, time passed by so short. Day changes night, likes to change grief, cries change laughter, everything flows like a current that brings swift water.
The wedding day of Zizi and Kafa has now arrived. It coincides with Icha's birthday. What feeling should he feel right now, happy or sad.
Ica sighed deeply.Prepared herself to be present on her best friend's wedding day. Her tears melted again as she recalled the whereabouts of her parents who were far away from her, there was usually always a gift of their own even though they never had time for her.
"Barakallah fii umrik, brother Ica."
their voices awaken Icha from her daydream.The girl quickly wiped her tears before they saw.
They all came with a parcel they had prepared to celebrate Icha's birthday.
"God, thank you, everyone."
his cheerful voice seemed to cover his sadness.
"May God bless your age ca, you become a better person."
Anna gave her first prayer.
"And may Allah always give the best for you, even if it is not in line with your wishes" said Dina who added.
"Amen."
"There is another one from Ika, hopefully Kak Icha can be a successful person of the world and the hereafter."
"Amin, thank you so much for all your prayers."
Ica embraced her three best friends.
"Icha requests are only one. O God do not separate me from my friends. Even if we are separated in the world, do not separate us in the Hereafter, O God."
"Fine on Allah."
tell them at the same time.
...****************...
All of the guests were present there. The concept of marriage with a luxurious and beautiful Islamic feel. Stunned the dozens of eyes that came to him.
All the families gathered there. Even Zain's family was already there, although along with his scheduled departure, Zain still took the time to be present at his cousin's wedding.
Asma' comes near Ica.
"Asma'."
Asthma' immediately hugged him.
"Asma' kangen equals mbak Ica."
Ica broke her embrace, looking at the face of the girl before her with a smile.
"Sir Ica is fine, right?"
"Alhamdulillah, may be healthy As."
"How are you? memorize your Qur'an?"
Asma' breathed.
"Alhamdulillah mbak deposit memorization Qur'an Asma' has been completed 30 juz."
"God, Alhamdulillah."
Ica gently swept Asthma's cheeks that were embedded in that smile.
Ica was so happy to hear the news of Asma' who had completed the recitation of his Qur'an.
"Look at you, Kafa is so handsome, he's getting dashing with his looks like that."
said Asma' who was staring at Kafa from a distance, as he walked towards the upper seat.
Ica also directed her eyes to follow Asthma'.
And sure enough that at that time Ica's heart was also amazed to see her appearance.the girl lowered her face as if unable to linger long staring at her face.
"I have to be strong to see all this. I can't be weak, I can't cry, these tears can't fall, it's my best friend's happy day, I have to be happy too."
Ica said in her heart.
Ica tried to calm her heart and feelings, this was her best friend's happy day, as well as her birthday.
He had been among the invited guests for a long time, but until now he had not met Zizi. Where Zizi, why he has not come out, soon his qobul ijab will be started.
Ica looked around her, but Zizi had not yet come. Finally she also decided to go and see Zizi in her room.
Ica opened the door of Zizi's room slowly and was accompanied by a greeting.
Realizing if anyone came to her room, Zizi immediately wiped away her tears.
"Zizy."
With her slow steps, Ica came closer to Zizi who was sitting in front of her makeup glass.
"Why are you zi?"
Zizi let out a long breath.
"I don't know if I should be happy or not today."
both are silent.
Zizi turned her face to Ica's.
"I'm sorry ca, I'm not a good friend to you. I have taken away your happiness. It should be you who is currently in my position."
Icha framed her smile.His hands were clasping Zizi's hands. Icha's feelings are more and more not because he feels more guilty if his heart is still heavy to weld everything.
"Your zizi is my best friend, you never took my happiness, it's all fate."
"Ca, if you still love Kafa, I'm sincere for you. I'm also hard-pressed to do this wedding, if the person who's going to marry me is still hard to forget his feelings for the person he loves."
"No zi, you don't deserve to talk like that. You must continue this marriage. Your destiny God has determined to be with him, Zi. Just one step away from this marriage going on, there's no way this marriage is being annulled just because a woman and that woman only exist in her past."
Zizi was still speechless not to stare at the floor.
"Zizi, marriage is not only based on feelings or feelings of love, but marriage must be based on faith, that is most important zi, you must be sure God will facilitate everything. If Allah is pleased with this marriage, happiness will always cover you."
cica gently rubbed Zizi's cheeks that were already wet with tears.
"Zizy."
Dita went into Zizi's room and approached her.
"Let's love everything's waiting for you downstairs."
the girl who was neat with her ivory white wedding dress showed a happy smile in front of her future in-laws.
"Yes ma, soon Zizi will come down."
"Yaudah, that's Mama first."
"Yes ma."
"Come, ca."
"Yes, Auntie." said Ica kindly.
Dita finally went first from Zizi's room and let the bride-to-be with her best friend.
