Exactly a week ago, Haykal and Kanaya's wedding was held. Both marriages were performed religiously. Given that Kanaya is not old enough and it is impossible to carry out marriage legally in the country. A marriage that became the beginning of Haykal's happiness. But also a sadness Haykal. But for Kanaya, her status has now changed. Haykal is no longer a former teacher, Haykal is fully Kanaya's legal husband.
"Can't your departure be delayed!" haykal said softly, Kanaya shook her head weakly.
Haykal bowed lethargic, he saw Kanaya who was constantly busy stuffing her clothes inside a large bag. Some of the books and equipment Kanaya needed were also put in bags. Haykal could only sit staring at the listless Kanaya who seemed to be tidying up all her belongings.
"At least you can put it off for another week!" said Haykal lirih, while walking towards Kanaya. Haykal sat on Kanaya's bed. Haykal sat right behind Kanaya. Slowly Haykal leaned his head against Kanaya's back. Haykal's hands were perfectly circular in Kanaya's slender belly.
"Remember, we're just the two of us in the room. Don't let your sister get carried away by napsu. Seduced by my beauty, remember the dowry I asked of you!" kanaya said teasing Haykal. Instantly Haykal let go of his embrace. Haykal dropped his body just above Kanaya's bed. Kanaya's fragrant body was left on the bed. Haykal lay on his stomach, infiltrating the blanket Kanaya used every night.
"Slowly, baby, I've lost my mind. You're making me helpless. I'm not just tempted, but I can't go because of your charm!" haykal said, Kanaya smiled at Haykal's reply. Kanaya picked up the big bag that was in front of her. Kanaya put it down, then Kanaya laid her body right beside Haykal who was lying on his stomach.
"What am I doing now? It was a big brother's decision, so don't regret it. I don't want to be an ungodly wife!" kanaya said softly, Haykal nodded. Haykal twists his body, remembering the night that changed the course of his life and Kanaya. A night full of joy and sadness in time together. It was Haykal's decision that meant Kanaya had to leave tonight.
FLASHBACKS
"If indeed the purpose of menghitbah Kanaya in order to avoid adultery and slander. So tell grandpa. Are you going to marry Kanaya right now? Because it means one step towards guaranteeing!" said Iman lirih, the voice of Faith shook Haykal's heart. The sound was soothing, but it touched Haykal's heart.
"Had it all been possible, I would have married Kanaya tonight as well. In this second, I want to change my own status. I want to have Kanaya born and inner. Not just for the sake of desire, but a sincere feeling that I cannot erase from my heart and memory. But all that hope will never happen. I don't want to destroy Kanaya's future for this love. I will let Kanaya achieve her whole dream. All the ideals that have existed long before I knew me!"
"Haykal, if tonight I ask you to marry Kanaya. Can you guarantee his happiness? Could it be that you were able to resist your lust, at least until Kanaya finished her school!" said Faith, Abra looked down. A father who must be able to let go of his daughter finds her happiness.
"I will not promise, but with all my soul and all my heart I will make Kanaya happy. My lust is able to prevent me, but my race is not easy to endure. Thank you for believing in me, but the marriage between us will only take place. Kala Kanaya wants it!" haykal said loudly and firmly.
"Haykal, how ready are you to be a part of Kanaya's life and world. Maybe his face and attitude impressed you. But there is a hard and rough side that is not easy to control. Can you accept or at least educate Kanaya?" abra said, Iman and Arya nodded almost simultaneously. The two saw Abra, as if seeing their own. Kala Abra came to ask Dewun to be part of Abra's life.
"I have nothing of value, other than sincerity and a belief in love with Kanaya. I have the material, but I'm sure Kanaya won't be interested in any of it. Let alone my sweat, the material this family gave me. It does not necessarily make Kanaya a proud and arrogant figure. Instead I came with only one promise. I will learn and continue to learn to understand Kanaya. Like a book, there's a lot of writing in Kanaya that I want to learn!"
"Haykal, get ready to marry Kanaya tonight!" said Dewun lirih full of calmness and firmness. As Haykal fell silent, Haykal's arrival only wanted to crush Kanaya. But getting married to Kanaya this very second. Never in Haykal's shadow. Although all that is the deepest hope and very desired by Haykal. Along with Kanaya, being Haykal's only wish. Without anyone being able to restrain or forbid Haykal from doing so.
Instantly all was silent, the soft sound of the wind. Not only does it bring coolness, but it cools the entire body. Everyone froze, the word Dew was a hammerhead that everyone had to obey. Abra can only be sincere, when he heard the Dewun decision. Arya did not dwell, when her beloved daughter had agreed. Faith could no longer speak, when her wise little daughter chose. While Rafan only nodded his ass, when the mother had determined the path that might be best for her little sister. Four great men, unable to change one decision Dewun. Not selfish or wanting to win on their own, Dew has reason to decide all that. On the contrary, the men believe, there is a very appropriate reason to accompany the final decision of Dewun.
"What is this that you and Dad feel? When I came to propose to Dewun. If it is true, forgive Abra who never understood the pain you and I feel!" abra said softly, Arya and Iman turned towards Abra. Both of them patted Abra's shoulder gently. Asserting Abra's words, as well as calming the anxiety of a father who will see his daughter married.
"All will be well. All are not final yet, the three of us know Dewan well. Maybe Haykal can convince us. But is he capable of convincing Dew?" iman said softly, Arya nodded in agreement. Abra looked down agitated.
"We better shut up for a while. Now is the time for the mother to speak, there will be unexpected surprises. When a mother talks!" sahut Arya, Abra sighed. All feels heavy, Abra is not ready to fully release Kanaya. Moreover, making Kanaya a wife at the age that has not even seventeen years.
"Rafes!" call Dew, Rafan looked up at the Dew. With a nod of his head, Dew asked Rafan to do something. Even Hanna also asked Dew to do something. A command that Dew said just by gesture.
"Haykal, lift your head. Answer my question, think well before you answer. Do not regret your answer. I'll just hear the first answer come out of your lips. I, as the mother who gave birth to Kanaya, have the right to ask my daughter's future priest of the afterlife. I just want to hear, do you deserve to hold my daughter's hand tonight!" said Dewant loudly, Haykal immediately gulped his saliva roughly. Dew firmness is clearly implied from each word spoken. The sharp gaze of the Dew, a gesture of earnestness without any play.
"Abra, pray Haykal fails to convince Dew!" whispered Arya, Iman shook his head in disagreement. Arya smiled seductively towards Abra. Abra's fear and pain had been felt by Arya. Therefore Arya clearly knows, how scared a father who sees his daughter will live with other men.
"I'm sorry auntie!"
"Why are you apologizing? What mistake have you made?" said the cold Dew, Haykal looked up at the Dew. The Dew position is right in front of Haykal. Silvi and Haykal's other relatives no one spoke. They only accompany Haykal, all decisions depend on Kanaya's extended family.
"I was too brave to kill Kanaya. Although I know, the age of Kanaya is not ready to bond with anyone? For a moment I regretted being selfish. But I cannot hold this conscience. The marriage that happened to me. It might happen to Kanaya. Reasons that make me dare to crush Kanaya with all risks. I'm afraid of losing Kanaya, but if after my honesty. Kanaya will not be a part of my life. I sincerely released Kanaya with a much better priest!" said Haykal, Dew nodded slowly. Iman felt compelled to hear Haykal's answer. Arya and Abra did not reject Haykal's proposal. But married to Kanaya, both feel not fully ready.
"What are you doing not wrong? We are the wrong parents. We let Kanaya get to know you when she was immature. You didn't love Kanaya wrong, even you came to propose to Kanaya tonight. None of this is a mistake, only one problem is causing you to blame!"
"I'm sorry!" haykal said softly, Dew shook his head weakly.
"Why Kanaya? If Kanaya is depressed, I am ready to cancel this proposal. I don't want to hurt Kanaya!" said Haykal, Dewun smiled at Haykal's fear and anxiety.
"I'm fine, it's just that I'm having a fever. I can't stand rain!" sahut Kanaya relaxed, then sat in the middle of Abra and his two grandfathers. Kanaya's appearance was very relaxed. Kanaya's face flushed red, obviously Kanaya's body temperature was very high. Kanaya leaned directly on Abra's shoulder. Haykal felt anxious, almost Haykal ran to embrace Kanaya. But his steps came to a halt, when Silvi held Haykal's hand.
"Kanaya, he loves you so much. Looking at his anxiety, he had not noticed that many eyes were watching!" goda Rafan who just happened to come with an ustad. Kanaya was silent, Haykal was embarrassed. It felt to Kanaya, making Haykal forget everything.
"Haykal, he's the ruler of this neighborhood. I spoke to him this morning. Kanaya came with me when she visited her house. My decision tonight, all thanks to his advice. Abra already knows about this decision. For Abra will be the marriage guardian of Kanaya. But before you got married religiously to Kanaya. I'll ask you something and your answer will decide if you get married or if this proposal is void!" debun said loud and firm. Haykal nodded without looking into the eyes of Dew. Haykal felt unable to deal with Dew. A mother who educates her daughter with firmness and broad affection is ordinary.
"Kanaya, mama wants to ask you a question. Answer my mother loudly and firmly. Your answer will be held accountable!" dewy said softly, Kanaya nodded.
"Did you receive Haykal's proposal? Are you ready to be Haykal's wife and part of life? Are you capable of serving the duties of a wife?"
"I received his proposal. I am ready to be the mother of his world. God willing, I am able to serve my duties as a wife. But the obligation to take care of his needs, but not in terms of spiritual needs. Kanaya is still too young and has not graduated High School. After graduating from High School, Kanaya was just ready to meet her physical and spiritual needs!" kanaya said loudly, Haykal immediately turned his head in disbelief. Kanaya's words were like a breath of fresh air in the sultry of her life. Kanaya quenched the thirst in Haykal's soul.
"Haykal, you accidentally heard Kanaya's terms. Do you mind all that?"
"I married Kanaya not just for a moment's sake. I love Kanaya and want to live happily ever after with Kanaya. Since I've been preaching Kanaya, let alone asking for the right to be a husband. Imagine being married to Kanaya, it never was. The happiness of being Kanaya's husband is already huge. I didn't expect more than that!"
"That means you agree!" said Dewun, Haykal nodded without hesitation.
"Well, one step you're getting close to marrying Kanaya!"
"Kanaya, what dowry do you want from Haykal?" debun said softly, Kanaya turned towards Abra. The look of a spoiled princess. Abra looked at Kanaya's face, then peeked at Kanaya's head. An affectionate kiss that hints at deep pain.
"Say baby, papa's fine!" abra said softly, as if understanding the meaning of Kanaya's gaze.
"Papa, he probably thinks I'm the first. But until now, papa was first in my heart!" kanaya whispered, Abra smiled as she kissed Kanaya's puffer cheek.
"Papa believe!" sahut Abra lirih, shortly after kissing Kanaya's cheek.
"Kanaya!" pangil Dewun, Kanaya immediately turned her head. He understood the meaning of the call of Dew.
"I don't expect materials, there are three things I want to ask for as a dowry!" kanaya said softly, Haykal stared fixedly at Kanaya.
"Say!" sahut Haykal without hesitation.
"Firstly, prop me up by saying bismillahirrohmannirrohim and marry me by saying thank-you. For I want our relationship only because of HIM and our union also because of HIM!" kanaya said, Haykal nodded in agreement.
"Second, I don't like his name. If maybe he changed his nickname, at least just for me!" kanaya said, Haykal nodded slowly.
"Third, after marriage until I graduate High School. Let me lead the science in the boarding house. I want to pursue my goals, at least until High School. Before I became your wife!" kanaya said, Haykal immediately fell silent. Kanaya's request made Haykal not warty. His happiness in an instant changed his pain. Not Haykal forbid Kanaya from studying. But being in the pesantren will make it difficult for the two to meet.
FLASH BACK OFF
"Darling, I'm staying tonight. I want to spend the night with you. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the boarding school!" haykal said softly, while embracing Kanaya's body. Haykal's hands coiled around Kanaya's body. Haykal rested his head on Kanaya's shoulder. Warm swirls flowed in Haykal's pulse. Again and again, Haykal was reminded by the dowry Kanaya asked for.
"All right!" sahut Kanaya was brief, then pulled Haykal's head into his arms.
"Darling, I'm happy to receive your warmth. But I was also tormented, when this desire was stirred up without being able to express it!" batin Haykal is upset in Kanaya's warm embrace. Haykal could feel Kanaya's heartbeat.
