100 Days of Being a Widow

Marriage agreement Part 2

...Sorry readers tonight is not much, because the trip dr lumajang to malang and tiring🙏 insyaallah bsk up a lot 🤗...

Various processions before the wedding were held. Starting from the flush, recitation, and pingitan.

Melati who is familiarly called Neng when in the cottage, more locked themselves in his room room. Enjoy the pingitan period by writing some inspiring articles.

The novel he really liked was about the writings of Ra Kartini who fought for the rights of Indonesian women through the book "Darkness comes out the light". The novel inspired Melati to write poetry and articles, which she later sent to the Sehati newsletter, owned by NGO Sehati.

The first poem he wrote was titled

Women At the End of the Tower. He wrote down a picture of himself, who could always bring out his aspirations out there, however, unable to bring out his aspirations in his own home.

The woman at the end of the tower, staring high at the sky,

Looking far away at the earth he did not step on

Flying is not able

Down he's afraid

Have no choice

The woman at the end of the tower,

Feeling locked up in prison, though,

Can talk, can't say.

a poem that represents itself

I am the flower that dried before it developed. Sticking a thorn that has not been sharp...

Marriage is not in the name of love,

just for an honor.

Duhai youth, duhai,

So fast I passed.

Without having a chance to feel beautiful.

Egoku if on destiny.

This work owned by Melati attracted the attention of NGO Sehati because it saw Melati experiencing forced marriage at a very early age.

Rania immediately contacted Melati. Trying to get him to discuss. But unfortunately, jasmine still closes herself and uses her own unnamed account.

Rania is still waiting. Perhaps this girl needs her help for the eluar from the snare of early marriage.

***

All needs have been arranged by the father. In accordance with the agreement of the bridegroom. Kyai Mansyur has requested that the celebration be held on a large scale because it concerns the name of the boarding school, as well as the celebration of the friendship of two boarding schools. He even donated 10 cows for the invited guests' party.

"Delati, you're called Abi...!"

Said Anisah, Melati's sister.

Melati just looked. Then continue with the writing.

"Congratio ....!!!"

Call Anisah.

Melati got up from her seat. He couldn't possibly make a fuss and anger his brother.

Melati walking lunglai. There was not a single pesantren whom he responded to. It's so flat and cute.

In a rattan chair, Abi Basuki had been sitting waiting for Melati. All faces were smiling, except for Abi Basuki who seemed to be able to read Melati's heart and mind.

"My son, in a week you will face a new phase of life. You will be the wife of a priest who has asked for you".

"Abi understands that of your brothers, only you have the highest ideals, a well-ordered future, and broad insights. However, what power is this of your father, if you still dare to reject a shari'a!".

Melati lowered her head, tears had dripped down her cheeks. In fact, he knew what Abi Manshur was going to tell him.

" The Prophet Shallallahu alaihi wasallam said three things that must be hastened, should not be delayed.

O Ali, there are three things that you must not delay, namely prayer when the time has come, the body when it is present, and a woman if there is a future husband who is the same Hadith History of Tirmidhi and Ahmad; hasan".

This is a test for us in the world, son. Will we choose marriage or education?

Every parent wants his child to be happy in the grasp of a faithful priest. The imam is worth the religious knowledge you have. For Abi, harya can be sought, but religion must be owned early on"

Jasmine approached her father, then hugged and cried so badly.

"I just want to pursue my ideals, bi.that's all. and not grandiose!"

Abi Basuki let his son shed his tears, rubbed his son's back and clasped his hands tightly.

"Let's understand how you feel, son!"

Abi Basuki's voice was getting heavy.

"Seek your husband permission, so you can resume your school". Abi Basuki said in a weak voice.

Melati then recalled the contents of the marriage agreement between herself and Ustad Malik.

Melati retreated, asked for her leave, and immediately returned to her room room. He remembered that he could find the phone number of the ustad and talk about the results of their agreement.

Secretly, Melati asks Ustadzah Yana to buy her a cell phone and keep it in a student school cooperative. Jasmine will visit him in the morning during sports hours.

***

A mobile phone brand has been in the hands of Melati. For both men and women, it is strictly forbidden to use mobile phones. Jasmine kept it secretly. Although there is no prohibition to save for administrators and courtiers, however, he certainly does not want his parents to know if he uses social media to write, interact with the outside world, seek knowledge, and learn, entertainment and find out about her future husband, Ustad Malik.

However, it seems he was mistaken. Ustad Malik does not have social media. His name is not famous either. There was a sense of disappointment in Melati's day. How he wants to covet a famous ustad, slang and able to bring Melati to the happiness of the world.

Melati was not discouraged. He searched the website of the promotional agency owned by Kyai Mansyur boarding school, his future father-in-law. Melati even kept one number belonging to Ustadzah Tia, one of the devotees in the boarding house. Melati disguises herself as a cousin who wants to find information about Ustad Malik.

However, Melati got less pleasant information from Tia's ustadzah. He said that the ustad Malik is a cold figure, not humorous and very obedient to the decisions of his parents. While Melati wants a male figure who has a leader character, so she can direct, supporting Melati. Because, he thought, if he married a man who does not have a personality, of course all will be free!

Melati feels that Ustad Malik is not her dream husband!

He then saw a copy of the letter he made to ustad Malik, as a covenant letter before the marriage. Melati then wrote down each agreement point that must be approved by Ustad Malik. The point of the agreement he will give to the ustadz, later when they are enjoying their first night.

Married, seemingly absent because of love, but also because of destiny. He felt that love was in vain.

Melati then suspected, that Ustad Malik was the same, he agreed to his father's advice, anything, especially about marriage.

Melati is sad, disappointed, and doubtful, will she be able to accept and learn to love her husband? or will he just cancel, while not too far away!

***

In the turmoil of his heart, sheethan saw an opportunity to tease him.

Melati becomes much busier to serve her online fans. Curate about his feelings, draw sympathy, and become a figure who wants to always be pitied!!!

With a mobile phone that he already held, he made a social media account, vent there and... He even has a lot of fans on his FB and Youtube accounts.

On social media, Melati became very popular, having many fans of the writings she had made. However, in real life, Melati is just a quiet, shy girl who prefers to shut herself up in her room.

In his room, Melati is a super star who is ready to greet fans from YouTube and Instagram channels. His face was invisible because of the niqob he had been wearing.

For a moment, he was able to forget about Ustad Malik, and all his shortcomings.

***

One day there was a house and cell phone search. But it turns out that Melati forgot that the cellphone he put in front of the student cooperative who was waiting.by the officer.

Melati ran to the execution area of mobile phones by the boarders of pesantren cottage. A bonfire has been set alight to burn all confiscated mobile phones, including property. Aisyah Ustadzah.
