"How is it? Legal?"
"SAH!"
The chants of prayer echoed around the room. The families and guests who were present now took turns congratulating Namira and her husband on their marriage.
"May this one last until your grandparents, Nam," said one of them.
"Yes, yes. You didn't make the wrong choice again. Amir is already the best," said another.
Namira smiled and nodded her head. She then turned to her husband who was now standing beside her and hoping that the Almighty would guide them to become the best couple until the hereafter.
"Don't keep looking at it, Sis. You're going to be misbehaving."
The words just now made Namira quickly avert her eyes. She was embarrassed because she was caught looking admiringly at the man who had legally become her husband.
"I still feel like I'm dreaming, honey," grinned Namira after trying to normalize her nervousness. "I didn't expect you to marry my sister, who had failed to get married twice. You're still single, handsome, and a good man too, but -"
"Don't feel inappropriate, baby," cut her husband quickly. "You're a great woman who should be happy. I'm happy to be your husband, dear."
The man named Amir now touched Namira's chin gently. Making the face that was reddened now look up slowly. Their gazes met at the same point, causing a throbbing in the chest.
The first night of marriage that would become history for them began to knit. Amir gave his wife's increasingly nervous forehead a long kiss.
"Amir and Namira. Our names seem to be a sign that sister and brother are soul mates," Amir said in between the process of introducing their bodies on that quiet night.
Namira nodded vaguely. "They say that a similar face means a soul mate."
"Hu um."
Unlike Namira, who was experienced in bed matters, this was Amir's first time. The young man who initially looked calm began to break out in a cold sweat as he gazed at his wife's beautiful curves.
"Why?" asked Namira who saw her husband slowly pulling away.
Amir did not answer. His hand began to feel the left side of his chest which was already causing pain. The man became breathless and his breathing became labored.
"Honey," he called in a soft voice.
Namira widened her eyes as soon as she saw Amir who was already lying unconscious. Her hands shook the man's body several times.
"Amir!" screamed Namira in a loud voice. "What's wrong?"
Unfortunately, the call went unanswered. Namira became panicked. Especially seeing her husband's eyes closed. She hurriedly grabbed her clothes and veil. Then she went out of the room.
"HELP!!! HELP!"
