Diary Qina

Part 48

Everything is done. The pelamin at Carcosa is done. I actually had a hard time trusting Sofia that she could handle everything but eventually that feeling eased away as she managed to settle the problem one by one just a month before my wedding, August. 

Farouk had arranged his friends and Hassan had arranged his friends too. All seven of them will be carrying at those dulang hantaran. Can you imagine that Syed had 10 hantarans? I said he was nuts and yet he just laughed. 

Farouk drove the Alphard with all of Hassan's and his friends with all those dulangs while dad drove Syafiza and I in his Teana. Alisa drove Syafiza's Myvi with umi by her side taking care of Farish. 

As we reached the mosque, everyone was there. Syed wasn't there. That made me panicked. I wondered why. I asked Syafiza to call him but he didn't pick up the phone. Where on earth is he on our wedding day? I feel like I wanted to blast off! Even Uncle Qhoftar doesn't know where he is. 

Half an hour later, he came with a man in a wheelchair. Suddenly, Hanani and Qatar got up. They pushed him nearer while Syed walked his way to the "big bantal" hehe I mean there's this one big pillow for a man to seat on it and said the akad. 

"Syed Qhalid bin Syed Qhoftar, aku nikahkah dikau dengan anakku Qina binti Hussein dengan mas kahwin satu ribu enam ratus sembilan puluh enam ringgit tunai," kata Encik Hussein.

"Aku terima nikahnya Qina binti Hussein dengan mas kahwinnya satu ribu enam ratus sembilan puluh enam ringgit tunai," kata Syed dengan jelas.

"Alhamdulillah sah," kata tuk kadi.

As soon as the tuk kadi mention 'sah' there were tears running down my cheecks. I'm a married woman! I'm not daddy's litte girl no more. Syafiza gave me a tissue. The tuk kadi started reciting the dua. I just don't know what I was thinking but it just kept me crying. 

After the dua he went to pray. 

Soon after that, Syed got up. He took a nice cincin belah rotan, and slide it through my jari manis. I wore my proposal ring on my left hand. He kissed my forehead as I slowly closed my eyes and feel that moment. 

Memang betul kata orang, bila dah kahwin kita akan jadi raja sehari. Mana taknya habis orang nak ambil gambar aku. Paling gatal suruh Syed kiss pipi aku lepas tu tangkap gambar. Aku rasa nak sepak je. Tolonglah bagi privacy sikit. Ada budak kecik around kot. Not good. Hish. 

After that, everything is done. Akad nikah is over. Good. That nervous feeling that I had before the akad nikah and during it was over. Syed and I went back from the mosque to my house together in one car. 

Before we head home, Hanani teased her brother like seriously a lot until it annoys me too. What's wrong with me getting so moody on my wedding day. Gosh! Bad vibes. 

So as we said our goodbyes we set off. Tomorrow is the big day at Carvosa Seri Negara. OH MY GOD! 

Yang paling aku takut malam ni. First time tidur dengan orang lelaki in one bed. Macam awkward je. As if you're forcing me getting out the comfort zone. I hope nothing happened tonight because I'm not ready about being a preggy lady!
