I'm a Widow But a Virgin

Polygamy

This morning the Rengganis is well again, and today Rengganis and Albirruni will continue their honeymoon journey by visiting one of the places in Istanbul, namely Hagia Sofia

Mr. Anton was waiting in the hotel lobby, Rengganis and Albirruni immediately boarded the car and drove to Hagia Sofia.

Hagia Sofia is also a religious tourist spot in Turkey in addition to blue mosque.

Hagia Sofia is a mosque.

Before it was converted into a mosque, Aya Sofia was a church called Hagia Sophia built during the time of Emperor Justinian (ruler of Byzantium), in 558 AD. The architects of the Hagia Sophia Church were Anthemios of Tralles and Isidore of Miletus.

Thanks to the hands of Anthemios and Isidore, the building of the Hagia Sophia emerged as a symbol of the height of Byzantine architecture. Both architects built the Hagia Sophia Church with a new concept. This was done after the Byzantines knew the shape of the dome in Islamic architecture, especially from Syria and Persia. The practical advantage of the dome shape developed in Islamic architecture is that it is made of bricks lighter than the dome ceiling of the Christians in Rome, which is made of thick and heavy concrete, and expensive cost.

By both, the concept of the dome in Islamic architecture is combined with the shape of an elongated church building. From there came the shape of a dome that differed structurally, between the Roman dome and the Byzantine dome. In Roman architecture, the dome was built on a plan that had to be circular, and the dome structure was inside the towering walls, so the dome itself was almost invisible. While the dome in Byzantine architecture was built on a pendentive– curved triangular structure that holds the dome from all four sides of the square plan– which allows the dome building to be clearly seen.

Arriving at Hagia Sofia Rengganis, Albirruni also Mr. Anton immediately went inside.

"MasyaAllah is very beautiful Mr. Anton architectural design in this mosque" said Rengganis.

"Yes Mbak, Turkey is one of the countries that introduced the design of the mosque using a dome, when Islamic culture was in contact with European culture in the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine/Constantinople) in the 11th century, when the Islamic culture was in contact with European culture in the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine/Constantinople) in the 11th century, islamic architecture also drew on the techniques and forms of European architecture, which grew out of Greek and Roman architecture. Rather, the techniques and forms of Islamic architecture brought by the Turks were also tapped by the Romans to be developed in the Eastern Roman Empire.As a result of cultural contacts between the Muslim Turks and the Christian culture in Eastern Europe this is, Islamic architecture that initially only knew the flat roof of the building and the shape of the dome, then began to recognize the tapered roof to the top. In addition, since coming into contact with the culture of the Eastern Roman Empire as well, Islamic architecture began to recognize architecture that is magnificent, powerful impression, and verticalism"

Rengganis and Albirruni nodded, they were also very lucky to choose Mr. Anton as their tour guide, because Mr. Anton knowledge so much about the tour in Turkey.

They went back around inside Hagia Sofia.When they were walking around suddenly a woman greeted Albirruni.

"Al.. you're here too"

"Eh Laras, yes, he's still on his honeymoon"

Rengganis who saw Laras immediately close his body to Mas Birru, Bengganis grasped the arms of Mas Birru.

"Rengganis, can I talk to Al for a second"

"Talk here" replied Rengganis.

"Sorry it's privacy, can't both be there"

The barrel pointed at an empty bench.

"Alright, please, I and Mr. Anton still want to go around first"

"Rengganis, you come" Birru said.

"It's been..I talked to Mbak Laras first, I'm fine, I just talk there"

"All right"

O Allah protect my husband from any danger, however it may be, Inner Rengganis.

"What is Laras, why do we have to talk together" asked Birru.

"I have information, your marriage is only 1 month right, and Rengganis is a widow"

"You are diligent in finding information about my race, it is not necessary, then if the widowed Rengganis is indeed what the problem is"

"Al, you virgin, you deserve the virgin, you are good, handsome, you are well established, you should be able to get more Al, and I am still a virgin Al, Al,I also changed my appearance with this hijab because you are also Al" said Laras.

"So, I'm married, and all this time I never told you to veil because I, you're beautiful, you're good, you're good, and you said you were virgin, too,there must be a lot of people out there who want you to race"

"I'm willing to be a Rengganis honey, not if polygamy is not forbidden"

Birru laughed at Laras's silliness.

"Laras, listen to Me, my responsibility as a man is very heavy, you know when in the hereafter 1 man will bear 4 people, his mother, his wife, his children and his sister.

Moreover, I have 2 younger sisters, plus not later maybe a daughter, I can not afford to add one more, on my shoulders have a lot of responsibilities, polygamy is not prohibited,but heavy in the afterlife Race," replied Birru.

Birru hoped that Laras would understand the explanation.

"But Al, I feel you're not worth the Rengganis, he's too lucky to get you, and when you can get more from him, you can get a Virgin girl"

"Rengganis is also still a Virgin, you have no right to insult my wife, just because my wife was once a widow, do not judge people by status, property, or appearance, because God judges us by her taqwa, and as long as you know, God judges us by her taqwa,Rengganis is still a Virgin, just married a few days her husband died, I reiterate if my wife is still a Virgin, and another one, I who pursue her and I who love her so much, is enough,if you insult my wife again I won't be polite to you anymore"

Birru was furious with Laras who so blatantly insulted the Rengganis.

Birru searches for the whereabouts of Rengganis and Mr. Anton.

Laras was disappointed by Albirruni's refusal, leaving Hagia Sofia.

Birru who saw the existence of Rengganis and Mr. Anton just came to them.Birru immediately took Rengganis' hand and they continued their journey to the shopping center in Turkey.

Not feeling the time of their honeymoon is over, Rengganis and Albirruni will shop for souvenirs for his family and friends.

"What are you talking to Mba Laras about?" Ask Rengganis.

"Later Mas tell me yes, later tonight, today we just enjoy this time soon in Turkey, we buy souvenirs first yes"

Rengganis nodded, they also headed for a special shopping center souvenirs in Turkey.
