After the Word Talak
CHAPTER 36. Calculating Iddah Time
"What is the Iddah time for a woman who is being ingested in a pregnant condition?" tanya Dikta's back.
Ustadz Zaky rubbed the fine fur on his chin once again. "Three qurus'."
"Three qurus'?"
"Yes as described in QS Al Baqarah verse 228 which means: “The divorced wives are obliged to refrain (waiting) them for three times quru'" replied Ustadz Zaky.
"Three qurus' are like three months if you ask," continued Ustadz Zaky. "But since you are pregnant, your Iddah is until you give birth."
"Thank you, for the description of Ustadz," said Dikta who felt confident now to open his heart.
Sean coded Dikta to stand up until now they both finally stood up. "Ustadz Zaky, then we say goodbye first, Assalamu'alaikum."
Ustadz Zaky smiled at Sean and Dikta.
"Waalaikumsalam" replied Ustadz Zaky. "If there's time to come back here again."
Sean and Dikta replied to the nod, Sean shook Ustadz Zaky's hand while Dikta only put his hands together in a cupped position to Ustadz Zaky
Sean and Dikta immediately left Ustadz Zaky's house where Ustadz Zaky drove them to the front yard.
Sean got into the car followed by Dikta, they both then waved to Ustadz Zaky while running the car away from there.
"How is it now?" tanya Sean drove her car with a tail of eyes that glanced at Dikta.
"I still haven't finished setting my heart, but Mas Adam has fought enough for me, there's no harm in me accepting him as a substitute" Dikta replied solidifying his heart.
Sean smiled, Finally Dikta can really open a new page in his life after the departure of Robby and all the dark stories of his life.
Crtts!
Sean slams the steering wheel, and he who initially runs his car home turns him to the hospital.
"What do we want?" ask Sean.
"Come to Adam and you have to give him reassurance" Sean replied.
Dikta flinched, this was too soon but Sean wanted happiness for his sister so he became excited like this.
Dikta only nodded for a moment, she did not want to refute her brother who was already so excited for her.
Dikta exhaled a long breath. "Bismillah."
Sean and Dikta got out of the car and walked into the hospital with a definite step, they didn't have to ask where Adam's room was, because they already knew about it.
Adam himself had just examined the patient and sat in his chair before Sean and Dikta came and said hello to him.
"Waalaikumsalam, Brother Sean? Dikta's? What's up?" adam stood up.
Sean drew Dikta's hand and brought it before Adam, now the three pairs of eyes intersected, before Dikta chose to cut off eye contact with them.
"Adam? Are you seriously loving my sister?" ask Sean suddenly.
Adam who got such a question just fell silent, why did Sean question something like this at this time.
"To be honest, the feelings I had five years ago still existed even though I realized that Dikta used to belong to someone else" replied Adam slowly.
Dikta raised his head, Sean glanced at him then coded Dikta to speak. "Dictate say.".
"M-mas Adam? If I accept, will Mas Adam accept me also for all my shortcomings?" tanya Dikta hesitated.
"I love you because God is not for the physical, the throne even for yourself" Adam replied.
"But does he intend to propose it now while he is still in the Iddah period legitimate?" Adam had a little doubt.
Sean walked over to Adam and patted him on the shoulder. "I'm not a good person, but Ustadz Zaky once told me that there was a hadith that said, And it is not permissible to ask women who are in the iddah period, but can propose it by way of satire and marry him after the completion of the iddah period. So if you only intend to go through the words first, it's legitimate" replied Sean who remembered the sentence Ustadz Zaky.
Hearing Sean's words, Adam sparkled he looked at Dikta once more. "If I propose to you innuendoly now, do you want to? I'll wait for you to finish your Iddahi."
Dikta fell silent and then disturbed his head. "I want to."
