"The show is over, said Gus Aham as he pulled the lower spring bed.
"You are not here I am above, he said again. Aisyah nodded.
From the very beginning when they started ta'aruf, repeatedly her future husband said that this marriage was only to please her Ummi, who was a woman,
not more. Aisyah agreed, she married also because "manut", according to ... want to make her family happy, let alone this marriage has been arranged since they were small.
Moreover, the extended family of Aisyah from the former was the "abdi" of the cottage owned by the elder and the extended family of Gus Ahmad Abdilah Aham al-Maliki, her husband.
Therefore, Mbah from Gus Aham before dying advised to continue to "continue" friendship with the large family "right hand" of Mbah yai who is none other than the large family Aisyah.
Aisyah looked around her bridal room.The room was very spacious, there was a wedding bed size no.1, two cabinets neatly lined up on the left of the bed and there was also a bookcase, and there was also a, where the books of Salaf and some books, such as business and automotive knowledge neatly arranged there.
On the right side of the bed there is a dressing table that is not far from the study table and set of guest sofa, also a laptop and several maps.not to forget the bathroom is one room with her husband's room.
"You can use the closet to store your clothes. Besides, all I use. for toiletries have been prepared as well. Your equipment is on the bathroom shelf pink, pink, pink, the blue one is mine.and, never climb into the attic, it's my workplace, privacy!. I don't like anyone coming in, especially when I'm not around. Aisyah nodded nodding at the explanation of her husband.
"Ok. Because you are a guest here, I invite you to clean yourself first in the bathroom, said Gus Aham
Aisyah nodded, quickly quickly she stood up and entered the bathroom.His body was so tired after a day of continuous walking around following her two in-laws and husband to greet the guests at her wedding.
Aisyah soaked for a moment to relax her body.her mind was fixated with the thought "what will happen next?".. "is there going to be a first night?".., a little shudder she thought of it, but that's it, but that's it, even if it happens it's okay, aren't they legitimate now?.
Aisyah immediately went out of the bathroom as soon as she finished washing herself, opened the door slowly, then turned to the right and left to make sure there was no Gus Aham there. once in the sense that there is no figure of her husband there then she really came out.
After Aisyah changed her clothes she was about to perform prayer isya, but her gaze was fixed towards the stairs attic. Near her stairs while calling her husband.
"Gus.i've finished flush (bath), Monggo (please) if njenengan (you/you) ngersa'aken flush (want to bathe), I prepared the water geh (yes)?." but Aisyah did not get an answer.
"Gus.., call her again thinking her voice might not sound so Aisyah called out to her again, but it didn't also sound authentic from the attic.
"Gus..., Gus Aham!!.., this time he slightly raised his voice there was a bit of worry behind his soft voice, but his husband advised not to go up to the attic.
In the middle of her worries, Aisyah turned around. slightly glued to the clothes scattered on her husband's mattress, Aisyah approached her and cleaned her up. momentarily silent before hearing the sound of knocking on the door.
"Tock...
"Tock...
"Tock...
"get in!!, he replied.
seen the door open, the face of ageless and beautiful mother-in-law and sister-in-law look.mother-in-law and sister-in-law, who used to be Bu nyai and "Ning" her. his daily guide in memorizing and understanding the contents of the holy book of the Qur'an, looks so bright and happy approaching his santri who is now officially his son-in-law.
Buru Buru Aisyah welcomed her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
"Ummi is too worried you are tired nduk. so ask mba nemenin here, all bring you jamu. let's hurry again, so can continue the next stage geh ummi?!. goda brother-in-law. Aisyah who understood also smiled shyly as well as her brother-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Fis.don't tempt your rich sister' that, later become nervous. timpal Ummi
"Let Aisyah not too tense Ummi. he said to defend himself.both Ummi and Aisyah just smiled.
"Mother. Where are you?, asked Ummi
"Ngapunten Ummi, menawi attic teng. (sorry Ummi, maybe in the attic). replied Aisyah softly.
"Kok menawi?, (kok maybe?). Ummi hardik
"Soale pas Aisyah medal saking bathroom Guse mboten wonten.(soal pas Aisyah out of the bathroom Guse ndak no).
"yasudah.you ndang break ya nduk, do not forget his herbal medicine in drink so that his body Segeran, Ummi back ndalem first yes?!,", message his in-laws
"injih Ummi (iya ummi). he replied, Aisyah kissed the palm of Bu nyai's hand which is now her in-law.although she has become a daughter-in-law, did not make Aisyah then forget the manners and adab. even Aisyah felt grateful, happy and proud because by becoming a daughter-in-law, Aisyah could take care of, care for and serve her Bu nyai family, like her Grandparents used to be "lucky".
After the prayer and dzikir Aisyah grabbed the glass filled with the herbal medicine, with a quick breath she finished it.
She saw the clock showing at half-twelve in the night, but Aisyah never saw her husband come down from the attic.
"Did Guse fall asleep on top huh?, she thought. she wanted him to check, but her husband's message didn't let anyone go up to her workplace. Worried that she was asleep while she hadn't had time to serve her husband, good for preparing bath water, eating and so on, Aisyah was awake in the middle of the night with her muroja'ah Quran.
The sound of tarhim reverberating.a sign of the time of dawn soon arrived, Aisyah woke up.she saw her husband's bed was still neatly arranged. Rose petals were also fresh on it. last night no one slept there. Aisyah was silent, suddenly the sound of the door opening
"Simplek....,
a familiar figure to him entered the room.
"Gus.", call him, but the one called silent did not answer.just passed and walked towards the bathroom.so out of the bathroom Gus Aham took the sarong, kopyah and prayer mat.
"Gus.wait a minute geh, I join jama'ah".Pinta Aisyah
"yes,". answered Gus Aham briefly.
Rushing Aisyah into the bathroom took ablution water and immediately returned to wearing mukena and congregational prayers.
Aisyah continued to see her husband who was reading the Koran after the worshipers.he wanted to ask, where did her husband go last night?.
