Akad Shackle
Ignore the Falling Voices
"The education of a wife depends on the level of purity of a husband. Seeking the righteous is important, because the shale husband will lead his wife to heaven. A man is the first madrassa for a woman, when she becomes his wife. The woman is a makmum, so her good is determined by her priest"
Rahma exhaled slowly, the words she heard in the lecture of an ustadz kept ringing in her ears. He pondered at the fate of his own household, realizing that everything he lived was wrong.
Marriage will give the sakinah, the tranquility that is the fruit of the mawaddah and warahmah that is present in the hearts of two people who justify the bond with the ijab qabul.
But Rahma realized that the beauty of the sadinah was really far from her household, which there was only a commitment to keep each other's feelings that they did not want to be disappointed even though they had to ignore their own feelings.
'Finding the man shaleh is important' The sentence continued to dance in Rahma's mind, how could she forget that criterion. Circumstances that make him make quick decisions without thinking for longer. If the man who married her was a shale man she would know how to properly treat her partner even without love.
But is not a soul mate is a reflection of ourselves, is it possible that he is not good enough and worthy to get a man shaleh? could her husband really be her picture?
During this time Rahma felt enough to take care of herself and her honor, hoping that God would bring a similar soul mate who was also good at guarding herself and her honor. But his expectations are still limited to hallucinations, because the reality is he must survive in a sacred bond that seems to be a shackle since the agreement was spoken between the foreign man and his father.
Rahma's days still haven't changed, school is still the most convenient place for her to spend time. Arrive the earliest and go home the last is Rahma, until some of her colleagues dubbed her as a school pigeon.
She asked a question that was quite disturbing to her from several female teachers. How could Rahma be so free to be in school even when her teaching schedule was over, whether her husband did not have a problem. Rahma just smiled and answered no problem and everything was fine.
"When?" Lisna who has always been a loyal friend of Rahma spending time at school comes to his best friend when Rahma is seen tidying up her desk. His status is still single make it also free to go home at any time from school.
They have just attended the tabligh akbar event held by the Rohis children in filling the midterm activities.
"Hayu .." replied Rahma without looking,
"Naw, can I ask you something?" Lisna chose to turn around the chair belonging to another teacher who was in front of Rahma's desk, now they were sitting opposite.
"What's wrong? tumben permission first, usually also immediately berkoar" joked Rahma by clicking her lips, their chatter was more relaxed because the teacher's room was inhabited by the two of them.
"What is your relationship with Anggara? I feel there is something you cover from me about the state of your household. I was thinking that until something happened to you, I'd actually introduce her to you" Lisna spoke directly to the point, his innards are not good at speaking trite makes Rahma understand the character of his best friend, it is,
"Why are you that?" Rahma knitted her eyebrows together, she stopped her activities and focused on looking at Lisna,
"Yes..mau know, because among some teachers it turns out you have become a hot chatter now tea" said Lisna who some days feel hot ears, which some days feel hot ears, said,
"What did someone say about me?" Rahma who did not realize that her life was the center of attention was innocently asking Lisna,
"Say you may be a second wife, aka a mistress because your husband who came home erratically, even you spend more time at school" explained Lisna at length, at first he also wanted to ignore the suspicions of his friends, let alone see Rahma who also always seemed to enjoy living her days.
But over time his mind was disturbed, Lisna would feel very guilty if it happened, because he was the one who met Rahma with Anggara.
It seems that something hit him Rahma's heart beat faster than before, he did not think that something like this would happen.
During this time Rahma only thought about how to cover the disharmony in her household in front of her family, but it turns out that the eyes and ears of others must be taken into account.
"We are fine, Mas Anggara is rarely home because these months have to serve outside the city. But our communication is good, even now more often Mas Angga who contacted and asked me news" explained Rahma trying to cover up, he did not want others to know the real situation. Let him swallow what he feels because this has become his commitment.
"Thank God, that's how it should be" Lisna said with a face that was still curious, her gaze fixed looking for lies on the face of her close friend,
Rahma did not lie, her last meeting with Anggara was when her sister Maya married three months ago. At that time Anggara did tell him if he would go outside the island for duty, although he said it was two weeks but it had been three months in fact Angga had not visited him again.
Rahma who had thought where Angga was when not on duty did not want to think about it, the agreement at the beginning of the marriage became her reference to behave towards her husband.
But Rahma is grateful, at least there is a positive development about her relationship with Anggara. Lately Anggara more often contact him to just ask the news, although Anggara never said why he did not visit him and where his whereabouts but it was enough to make Rahma feel had a husband.
Especially during these three months Anggara always routinely send him monthly money, Rahma always contact Anggara to confirm the shipment and say thank you. At least the history in the chat room between himself and Anggara is now longer.
"It's ah, come home yuk already afternoon. Ignore the discordant voices that will only interfere with our mood and performance" Rahma moved from her seat and walked to the exit of the teacher room followed by Lisna still with curiosity.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Mom. Mommy want to go home?" a male student with the committee name tag still hanging around his neck comes over to Rahma when Rahma just came out of the teacher's room,
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Andrean? you haven't come home yet?" asked Rahma in surprise,
After the tabligh akbar event which ended with ashar prayer, Rahma who was one of the coaches of extracurricular activities at the school briefing the committee consisting of students - students of OSIS board for the evaluation of today's activities and prepare for the activities that will be carried out tomorrow.
The activity in the middle of this semester will be filled with two grand activities involving all students from class X to class XII, namely tabligh akbar and tourist works.
Tabligh akbar activities have been carried out today, starting at 12:30 until 15:30 by bringing famous ustadz who are being loved by teenagers, tabligh akbar is running successfully because all students are so enthusiastic to follow it.
The material presented by the speaker was in accordance with their development in general. That clearly adds to the attractiveness of students to follow this study.
The second event that will be held to fill the semester break time is to hold tourist works, including, with the approval of the school and the foundation on Saturday, they will hold a tourist work to one of the attractions in the Bandung area.
Allocation of one day time prepared for the activity. Departing Saturday morning and returning home to Garut Saturday afternoon.
"Not yet Ma'am, this is. I was in the parking lot but I still saw my mother's motorbike so come here all want to make sure about the day after tomorrow" explained the student named Andrean,
"Why the day after tomorrow?" rahma asked him to stop his steps and chose to stand up to listen to his disciple's explanation while waiting for Lisna,
"The next day I want to bring my own vehicle, I happen to go home to my mother first" explained Andrean,
"Ouh so? alright. You just prepare a permit to go home separately, then contact Wanda ma'am yes, he is responsible for licensing matters" Rahma also chose to continue walking when Lisna had approached her,
"What's wrong?" asked Lisna curious, she was also responsible in the day after tomorrow as a student guide class VII.
"This Andrean wants to bring his own vehicle the day after tomorrow because he wants to go home to his mother in Bandung. Is that Andrean?'' ask Rahma to make sure,
"Yes ma'am was right, and I meant to meet my mother.." Andrean's words suddenly stopped and it made Rahma and Lisna stop their steps, compactly staring at Andrean.
"Why?" lisna asked impatiently looking at Andrean's expression who looked hesitant to say it,
"I want to take my mother to see my mother, I hope she is willing" he said firmly, no more doubts on his face when he said that,
"You mean all teachers?" asked Lisna who was even more enthusiastic in responding to his student's invitation,
"No Ma'am, I just took Ms Rahma to see my mother" she explained, making Lisna turn her eyes,
"Ck..ck....ck....wurried? you want to show a potential ghost to your mama?" janda Lisna chuckled, but it turned out to be serious for Andrean,
"Yes Ma'am" he answered steadily, making Rahma shake her head,
"Ishh.kamu, don't say a word" said Rahma reminded her student, who was,
"No ma'am, I'm serious, I want ya?" as long as without a sinful face, he asked Rahma to meet her mother, and,
"No Andrean, I can't. Already yes, the mother first had the afternoon" Rahma refused firmly, she also took Lisna's hand and passed leaving Andrean who was still standing glued in his place,
"It looks like the boy is obsessed with you" Lisna's tease ended, rascality,
"Disregard the discordant voices!" joked Rahma, he also drove his motor matic first leaving Lisna who was still wearing his helmet, he said,
"Hey Naw Naw..tungguin" cried Lisna, but was ignored by Rahma.
