Sah



Today is Danang's wedding day with Della. All preparations are done. Just go to the bride's house.


But because of Linda's circumstances that did not allow her to participate, she with great heart, had to be at home alone. Because everyone went together, delivering Danang to ijab kabul.


"Erli follow sumbang. But I can't be fussy, honey. Danang is a bride."


Linda advised her son, Erli, not to make a mess there. Moreover, he could not come with them either.


"Mama's not coming?" asked Erli with teary eyes.


"Mama can't walk yet Honey, tomorrow, if mama can walk again. Erli's going anywhere, Mama's coming, yeah!"


"Hiks..."


Erli was back sobbing. She felt sad because of her mother. He can't be spoiled anymore like he used to be.


Moreover, he also could not meet again with his papa. If you forget, Erli will ask, "Ma! When will papa come home?"


And after Linda answered if her papa could not go home again, Erli would cry without being able to be stopped quickly.


Linda understood, if Erli behaved like that. Because Erli was closer to his papa, since Linda left work.


"Honey, here!"


Erli got closer to his mother's bed, still as he pleased.


"Honey. Listen to Mama! Om Danang wants to take Aunt Della to this house. Does Erli not like to see Aunt Della as well as Danang later?" linda said, trying to explain to her son.


"So, will Aunt Della come with Danang? Stay here, same as Erli and Mama?" erli asked back, because he had more explanation.


Hearing the question asked by her son, Linda nodded and smiled, as the child began to understand.


"The magic dong Ma! There will be a lot of people in the sewage house, huh Ma? But papa can't go home..."


Erli's uncontrollable mood, sometimes making him feel happy, but suddenly sad. When he remembered his father who had left and could not go back home again.


Although he did not understand and did not understand what it was to die, but at least, Erli knew that, people who had been buried could not possibly go home again.


That is why he is often sad. When he remembered his father, who could not go home to meet him.


"Honey. Erli, listen yes! Although papa could not see Erli, but papa could see Erli. And papa will be sad, if you see Erli is sad like this."


Erli looked towards Linda quickly, with a look of disbelief.


But Linda smiled and nodded for sure. To convince his son, so that he would no longer be sad and always remember his father. Although actually she was also sad, if she remembered her husband.


"Erli, come on, baby!"


From outside the room, there was the sound of her daughter calling her grandson's name.


"Yeah!"


Linda invites Erli to get out of the room. She uses a wheelchair, which she can move on her own. To make it easier for him to move, and not have to wait for someone who will help him.


"Lins. I asked Bu Lek in front of me for help, so I would often look at you. Who knows you need help" explained his mother, who could not bear to leave herself alone at home.


"Yes, Mom."


Linda shook her mother's hand, which immediately grabbed Erli's.


His father also said goodbye to Linda, before getting into the car.


"Sir, Danang asked for my blessing! Pray Danang can be smooth and be a good husband for Della in the future."


Linda nodded in agreement with Danang's request, smiling. He shed happy tears, seeing earnestness in Danang's eyes.


After a while, Linda returned to the house.


Actually, she wanted to help her mother, by cleaning her house. Because of the remnants of the salvation and the youth of his friends Danang last night.


But since he couldn't do anything, he was finally only able to let out a long sigh.


"May his uncle Romi not come here later. Or tomorrow there's no need to come to this house."


Linda hoped that she would never see her uncle Romi again. Which made him sick. It even has to be what it is today.


With Ferry dead, it was also because he had to drive himself to the doctor to check.


Although actually all the things that happened have been outlined by fate, Linda is still not ready. If you have to meet the middle-aged man.


Now, Linda could only sigh deeply. To reduce the feeling of tightness and fullness inside his chest.


"Yes Allah. I surrender to what You have outlined in the message of my destiny. But if you can, never find myself with that man again. I don't know what's gonna happen next."


This Linda prayer, really two expect to come true.


He didn't want anything more sad. If you have to meet a man who makes him unable to accept the reality and circumstances of himself as a child.


"Mas Ferry's. I'm sorry Linda Mas..."


*****


At Romi's house, all guests are welcome and welcome to sit in the space provided.


Although this event is not big and luxurious, but quite a lot of guests also come.


In addition to the Danang family, family and community around the house Romi also invited to be able to help and give a blessing at the wedding of his sister Romi.


"No. Penghulu has arrived. Come on get ready ahead!"


"Yes, it's."


Danang began to get used to calling Romi mas, just like Della who called Romi with mas as well. Be more familiar and the same.


So Danang decided to call his brother-in-law the same as his future wife too. Not with a call anymore.


"I accept, marriage and marriage Della Puspita, binti pak Mahmud the deceased. With dowry a set of prayer tools and 15 grams of gold paid in cash!"


"How's the witness, legit?"


"Well!"


"Well!"


"Alhamdulillah..."


After Danang finished saying the kabul ijab, then endorsed by witnesses, the event continued with prayer.


Everyone prayed, praying well for their marriage.


The event continued with photos and meals. Just like the ones at weddings in general.


"Alhamdulillah yes Brother" said Della, who was relieved and happy. She is now officially the wife of Danang.


"Yes. Come straight home, yes!"


Della smiled shyly, hearing Danang's invitation just now.
