All showed sad faces in the room, The parents were sad to see Grandpa's condition. While Nanta and Nadia are still loyal to his inertia. Even from that phone call from Dara he ignored. Can't talk to the girl for now. Even his phone was finally turned off.
"Son Nanta, can we start his kabul now?" ask the grooms.
Nanta didn't answer, his tongue was my tongue. This is the destiny God has set for him. But why the feeling is still for Andara. There is not even the slightest affection for the woman who will be married. There is only respect because she is a woman.
Those in the room looked at each other because the one in question only lowered his head, loyal to his inertia.
"Son, this marriage must be in motion. Be a responsible man!" Said his brother to the prince.
Nanta remained silent. He turned his head towards his grandfather's face which was still breathing but very slowly. That face that used to always smile patiently taught her to teach. The one who always defends him when he's naughty. How could he ignore his grandfather's request. But, what about his feelings. His hands clasped tightly until his knuckles were visible.
Everyone was waiting for Nanta to wake up from his funeral. Umi did not stop crying. What if his son does not want to carry out the mandate of his father. His hand grabbed the old hand and kissed it repeatedly. He did not want to put his son in a difficult situation. But it hurts for him too. It was fortunate that Abi had always faithfully helped Umi to support her weak body.
"Ehem!" Deheman loudly from Nadia's father resuscitated everyone who was focused in their minds.
"Son, will this continue. Mr. Penghulu is waiting for your readiness," Nadia's father said softly.
"Son,.." Before Abi said what he wanted to say, Nanta interrupted quickly.
"Yes, Nanta understood," he said with a flat face.
"Nadia, will you have this marriage with me." Although his eyes were staring at the beautiful hijab-wearing woman, but his flat face showed compulsion.
"Bismillah, if marrying you means being willing through all the pleasures and difficulties together, I am sincere." Nadia said the word out loud and steady. In contrast to Nanta.
Nadia has decided, she will accept whatever happens later on in their household. God willing, if God intended this to happen, there would be a way.
The parents who heard Nadia's reply were relieved, Umi was also relieved but nevertheless he understood her son's feelings. He could only pray that God would open the door of Nanta's tightly shut heart to his future son-in-law. However, Allah is heart-wrenching, He is resigned.
"Well we start now," said pak penghulu.
Nanta just nodded.
"Bismilahirrahmanirrahim
And all things we have made in pairs, that ye may remember the greatness of God.” [QC. Adz Dzariyaat verse 49]
God has established the birth of man as a definite destiny of the male and female kind.
God will also give each soul mate for each creature. For the adult human, there will come aqil baliq day and will go to marriage.
Who doesn't want to get married?
All grown-ups want to get married, because it is natural that we were created for couples.
Marriage is a sacred ceremony that aims to unite between men and women in establishing a holy bond.
Allah has said in the Quran Surah Ar-Rum verse 21:
وَمِنْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا لِّتَسْكُنُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةًۭ وَرَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
Meaning:
“And among the signs of His dominion is that He created for you wives of your own kind, that you might tend and be at ease to him, and made Him among you of love and affection. Verily in that are signs for the people who think.” (QS. Ar-Rum verse 21).
From the above verse it can be interpreted that Allah has the power to create wives for you (men) from your own people so that your souls are calm and peaceful, and He makes love and affection between husband and wife.
Verily in the creation of Allah is a guide to the Power of Allah and His Oneness for the thinking people.
After the wedding means that the bride and groom have received the blessing of God to build a household. And in the household later they will continue their offspring.
By doing the sacred promise that is approved by his parents and the presence of witnesses, the bride and groom have become a legitimate partner born and inner. This procession of sacred promise between a man and a woman will be held in a marriage contract."
Everyone in the room nodded, When pak pengulu will start kabul ijab.
Nadia's father also prepared to perform kabul ijab. Likewise with Nanta only the face of the man did not show the slightest smile.
أنكحتك وزوجتك مخطوبتك بنتي ……. علىالمهر ……. حالا
“Ankahtuka wazawwajtuka makhtubataka binti (Nadia Keisya princess) alal mahri (a device for prayer) hallan”
Meaning:
“I marry you, and I marry you to your betrothed, my daughter Nadia keisya princess bint Arman with dowry a set of prayer tools paid in cash.”
قبلت نكاحها وتزويجها على المهر المذكور ورضيت بهى والله ولي التوفيق
“Qabiltu nikahaha wa tazwijaha alal mahril madzkur wa radhiitu bihi, wallahu waliyu taufiq.”
Meaning:
“I received his marriage and marriage with the dowry (a set of prayer tools) that has been mentioned, and I am willing to do so. And may God always give you grace.”
After the pronunciation of Ijab and Kabul, it will be continued with the remarks of the witnesses present to confirm it.
When the witnesses said “Sah” then the marriage will be legalized by the penghulu.
Everyone says hamdala at the same time. Afterwards Umi hands Nanta a pair of rings, telling him to win on Nadia's ring finger. Abi bought a ring while waiting for Ashar.
Everyone was relieved, including Nadia. Especially when Nanta kissed her forehead for the first time. His heart was racing, even though Nanta's face did not show the slightest smile on his handsome face, Nadia was still happy. She has become the wife of someone. Now his life depended on the man's guidance. His clutter had disappeared with the kabul ijab that had been read.
Different from Ananta. His lips were crabbed after saying kabul. Her dream of marrying a girl is shattered. She was ashamed and afraid to meet her daughter. Even her tears shed, though she looked down. However, everyone saw when those tears fell.
The atmosphere that had started to warm again became quiet. Even Abi was silent. I don't know what the iron thought of this son of his. Umi can also only force her smile on Madam Nadia.
"Bring Nadia to your apartment. He must be tired, we'll wait for Grandpa here. Don't worry, come back" Abi told Nanta, who was approved by Nadia's parents.
Nanta nodded his head passed out of the room leaving his bride. Nadia was so awkward because of Nanta's attitude. Can the man respect his parents who are still here. But because he did not want any problems, he came out following the departure of Nanta.
Along the way to the apartment, they just kept quiet. The beautiful face of Nadia in a white robe, looks sad with the attitude of her husband. Though his attempt to get close to the man was quite successful yesterday, but, now the man is back to being cold towards him.
When it arrived. Nanta just waited for Nadia to get down, then handed her the keys to her apartment, without saying anything she left again in her car. Nadia who was still in the front yard of the apartment could only cry in silence.
Nadia smiled wryly, strengthening her heart to stay strong. This is his choice, so he also has to bear the risk.
........
Nanta did go to see Andara, his heart felt very guilty.
"Honey, where are you?"
'I'm at Saka's house, brother. This is going home. How's Grandpa doing?' ask Dara from across the phone.
"I picked it up, it's on the road. Grandpa has not changed. Yeah, wait for me, Jan everywhere." Nanta smiled wryly, will Dara still pay attention to the old man who has made this lover marry another woman.
sorry dear
Nanta went straight to Saka's house which is not far from Andara's apartment.
In about 20 minutes he arrived at Saka's house.
"Excuse me." Nanta knocks on Saka's door.
"Yes, just a minute." There is a law from within that he can guess if it is the Mother of Saka.
chequeleked
"Eh nak Nanta, nyari Andara huh? come on in." Mother Saka already knows her. Because Andara is also close to the Saka family.
"Darling, this is Nanta's gonna come after you." Shouted Mother inwards.
"Come, sit down, son. Andara is in the same warehouse as Saka. The barn looks like it's the door from here." Mother pointed at a wooden door that was no different from any other door.
"Oh yeah, what do you want Nanta to drink? let Mommy make it first," asked Mommy kindly to Nanta.
"No need to bother Mother, Nanta will only pick up Andara. I'm going home soon." Nanta also replied politely not to forget also the forced smile. The mood is still bad to smile is difficult.
"Oh yeah, uh it's them." Mother turned to the two children who had been battered with paint. Although Saka is not as bad as Andara.
"Eh so cute brother by his side, speeding ya?" asked Andara after sitting next to him.
"No, let's go home!" Ask him to stand alone with the owner of the house.
Can be seen the friendly face of Mother Saka is very contrasted with the fierce face of Saka. Nanta understood that if Saka was still angry with him, what if he knew he had married and hurt the beautiful girl next to him. Nanta shuddered in horror at the thought of that. When caught driving another woman Saka just beat him all out. Then he knew he had married another woman, could die at the hands of the man.
Throughout Dara's journey chattering about painting, about school and everything the girl told him, Nanta did not pay much attention. He only nodded when asked or shook his head.
He was quite happy, at least still able to see the cheerfulness of the girl. Can't imagine when that girl gets hurt. Saka clasped Andara's right hand and kissed her dear.
Dara turned her head, she noticed her lover's face, There was a sad look even though she smiled at him.
"Sad brother yes, because grandfather is in a coma. Don't be sad! It is not that my brother ever said if life, death, soul mate and sustenance were arranged by God. Brother must be strong no matter what happens later, we pray that grandfather can be healthy again." Dara tries to comfort Nanta.
Nanta turned his head, a little surprised by what Andara said. He said that life, death, soul mate and sustenance were arranged by the almighty. It did not make him so entertained, it reminded him of the wedding that was on his way a while ago.
Dara who saw the look on Nanta's face looked surprised, he became misbehaved.
"Salah yes brother, Dara apologizes if wrong, Dara does not remember very much," Dara thought what he just said was wrong.
"No, that's real. Pinter is my girlfriend." Puji Nanta rubs your darling hair Andara.
Dara replied with a smile. Those blue eyes also looked at him deeply. The longer Nanta looked into those eyes, the more his guilt grew.
They arrived at Andara's apartment. They immediately went in and laid themselves on the sofa in front of the tv.
"Have you had dinner?" tanya Nanta turned his head, his hand had been playing with the girl's long hair.
"Udah dong, abis magrib. Did my brother eat?" askalanya.
"Udah" he replied in a lie, Nanta even missed the magrib prayer today.
His heart is still broken. Right now the guilt is controlling his heart. His love for the girl beside him was very sincere. The girl's smile was also her favorite, and the girl's cry was the one she hated the most.
"That's Azan Isha, Brother take ablution gih. Later Dara prepare his prayer equipment." Dara pulls Nanta's hand to stand up.
Nanta just followed Andara's steps behind him. Andara brought him to the bathroom door. His head directed him to come in immediately. Nanta could not bear the adorable attitude of this girl in front of him. Hugged tightly until Dara had trouble breathing.
"Sister, even hugging. Later the time to run out," protested Andara who was slightly muffled because his mouth was covered by the chest of the man who embraced him.
"No, the prayer time is long" replied Nanta.
"Yes, the tap should be in motion!"
"Yes bringel." Nanta ruffled the girl's hair and then entered the ablution profit.
Dara runs towards the closet looking for prayer mats, sarongs and peci for Ananta. He really likes to do this. After setting it in place he waited for Nanta on his bed while playing a cell phone.
After the prayer, Nanta prayed for longer than usual. Dara turned her eyes towards the man. Dara knew that if Nanta was in trouble, he knew because from then on Nanta's face showed sadness. He didn't know what it was, but he didn't want to ask any further.
Nanta hugged her tightly. Dara put her phone on the table. Swiping Nanta's head on his stomach. Although blocked by blankets but still Andara felt amused.
"Sister!" andara's whine was trying to push Nanta's head from above his stomach.
"Diem! just a moment," said Nanta did not want to step aside.
Dara rubbed the head in the end, hoping to help reduce the burden her lover was thinking.
In a different place, Nadia is sitting on a mattress that smells typical of men who have now become her husband. He waited anxiously for Nanta to arrive. Nadia never knew if Nanta often stayed at Andara's apartment. So now he is confused and confused. It cannot be denied that he feels sad. But then he remembered an ustadzah had once told him this.
*J**God's promise will always be kept for those who are always patient and obedient to Him, will not be violated.
"Only those who are patient shall be perfected with unlimited reward." (QS.Az To:10*).
