Chapter 26 Part 2 "The Night of Ijab Qabul and Making Out"

POV Karim

Time continues to move forward, night and day keep exchanging their turns and I, who since yesterday couldn't wait for my wedding day finally meet that time, the early morning time on the day when I will finally become as the legal husband of a Sofia van Amsberg van Oranje-Nassau, a graceful and brave Princess of the Kingdom of the Netherlands who with her courage has made many big changes to me, my friends and the citizens of the VSI for the better because thanks to the courage that Allah had instilled in her, I also can be here with my family and friends again and survive the slander that had befallen upon me.

One thing that I still don't understand is the reason why she fell in love with me and still has feelings for me to this day. Yes, love is blind but, I think one of human nature is to always be curious and want to know the reason behind everything that has happened and is happening to that human. Well, never mind. Maybe it's better if I ask about it later after the Ijab Qabul is finished.

In order to prevent us from getting attacked by the enemy's assault that is targeting us, we followed the tactical advice that mevrouw Sofia's servant gave to us. Mevrouw Sofia's servant whose name is sister Tantri Annie Dekker suggested the following tactic to keep us safe during our Ijab Qabul. First, we informed His Majesty the King of the Netherlands the false schedule of the day of our Ijab Qabul procession and wedding ceremony being held along with the fake location of where our Ijab Qabul procession and wedding ceremony will take place.

The reason we informed him of the false schedule and false location for the procession of our Ijab Qabul and wedding ceremony is because, of course, His Majesty the King of the Netherlands will deploy his bodyguards to maintain the security of the location where the Ijab Qabul procession and wedding ceremony will be held.

We are worried that some of the guards of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands are spies and inform our enemies about the day and location of my Ijab Qabul procession and wedding ceremony with mevrouw Sofia and for that reason we informed him of the false schedule of our Ijab Qabul procession and wedding ceremony along with the fake location of where those two events will be held to lure our enemies out from their nests and find out who the people around us who are our enemies that hides under the covers.

In addition, the presence of the bodyguards of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands who guarded those fake locations on the fake days of our Ijab Qabul procession and the wedding ceremony would certainly attract the attention of many people and would make it easier for our enemies to identify what events were going on at those locations, making it easier for them to carry out their actions and attacking those locations.

To make our fake Ijab Qabul procession and our fake wedding ceremony looked real, mevrouw Sofia's family have hired several actors who are willing to sacrifice their lives to act as mevrouw Sofia, me and to act as our own family members, our closest friends, and some other people who are close to us that we will invite to our real wedding ceremony in which those hired actors will replace all of us on the day when our Ijab Qabul and wedding ceremony events are being held.

The actors who will replaced us at the fake Ijab Qabul and wedding ceremony events have the same physical characteristics as us and for their appearance, our family has asked a reliable costume maker to make some hyper realistic masks in which those masks looked very much like our own real faces so that our enemies will not realize that the people who attended that fake Ijab Qabul procession and that fake wedding ceremony event were actors who were in charge of replacing us.

For the original day of our Ijab Qabul procession, the event was held at 1 am, today. Yes, performing the Ijab Qabul procession at 1 am does sound crazy but, if it can protect my family and mevrouw Sofia's family from the various mischievous deeds that our enemies have planned in order to harm and destroy us, then that's better to be done.
