Jaka Someh's

Jaka Someh's
Chapters 17. Household Ordeal.



Jaka Someh often imagines his wife in a state of woe in hell. Burned by fire for his deeds. There was a feeling of horror and pity when he imagined his wife was being burned in hell. Jaka someh is not willing if his wife is miserable forever in hell. The anger also changes with the feeling of pity.


“Yes Allah, I am actually sincere if I have to divorce Asih, as long as he is happy and can repent to You, but somehow my heart does not have the heart to leave him,  I'm afraid she's getting more broken and more disobedient to You, but even if I keep going through this marriage, I don't feel strong either. God, what should I do?”


Jaka someh did not want his wife to get worse, for a while he chose to give up, no longer bringing up the problems they were facing.


Tomorrow morning, Jaka someh leaves his house. She was confused about where to go to treat her grief.


Without feeling he walked towards the river. On the rocks, on the riverbank, Jaka someh sat pensively. Thinking about the current state of her troubled home. Sadness has taken hold of him. He didn't feel like he was shedding tears. Saddened that his sacred love has been betrayed by the wife he cares for. Sadness and anger begin to mix into one in the heart.


It felt like he was beating and killing the man who had captured the heart of his beloved wife. But Jaka Someh realized it was just a silly attitude and mere lust. Wanting him to leave Asih alone or divorce her, it might be the best solution, but his admiration and respect for Mr. Rohadi and his love for Asih hindered his desire.


He realized that now he was getting great trials from God. Household matters were a big deal to him. He was confused as to what to do to deal with the situation. Is divorcing his wife only so that he is immediately free from this problem or be patient first, hoping Asih can change for good. Jaka Someh realized that he really loved Asih. He did not want Asih to be wretched and continued to live in disorder. He wanted to save her from the hellfire.


While he was deep in contemplation he was suddenly startled by someone patting him on the shoulder from behind.


“Someh, why are you? From earlier I noticed you were pensive, your face also looked sad and Difficult? be careful oruh Meh, later you can catch demons “.


Jaka someh awakens from his daydreams,


“Eh Mr. Ustadz, sorry I was not aware of the presence of Mr. Ustadz “


Ustadz Fikri smiled softly,


“Just make it or Someh, you are not aware of my presence. You're daydreaming, why or Someh,  ? Your face looks so sad. Tell me about it ! who knows I can help you ”.


Jaka Someh seemed hesitant to answer the question Ustadz Fikri, he was confused to say WHAT. Ustadz Fikri, who understood Jaka Someh's doubts, asked Jaka Someh again,


“Are you having any household problems?”


With a little embarrassment, Jaka Someh nodded his head to answer the question of Ustadz Fikri, who,


“Iya Pak ustadz “


Ustadz Fikri said again to Jaka someh,


“Yes you are patient!  if you do not mind, you can tell the problem to Me, hopefully I can help, at least to ease the burden of your mind, God willing I will keep the trust and secrets”


At first Jaka Someh felt embarrassed and hesitant, but finally he also told about his household which is now experiencing a tempest. Ustadz Fikri nodded his head when he heard the story of Jaka Someh. Finished hearing the story, ustadz Fikri said to Jaka Someh,


“You're patient, Someh! All of this is a form of trial from Gusti Allah”.


Ustadz Fikri was silent for a moment, sighing, then again speaking words of wisdom to Jaka Someh,


“As normal humans we do expect to have a sakinah family, mawadah warohmah. It was a dream in building a household full of tranquility, comfort, mutual affection and happiness. But often it turns out that it becomes so difficult. It is not easy to unite two people who are basically different, not only different gender, but also different in terms of personality, background, habits, ideals, and,  and also his life. But if only these differences could be united by a good intention, that is, both want to seek divine pleasure, equally understand the rights and obligations, he said,  God willing, all those differences will be tolerable, even beautiful and pleasant. Because each other can complement each other, respect each other, love each other, and take care of each other. Hence, Meh. When we choose a life partner, Our prophet, Prophet Muhammad SAW once advised, in terms of finding a life partner the most important thing is based on morality and religion. Because a person who understands religion will understand about his rights and obligations, if good he is accustomed to respect and respect others. All his behavior and words will always be awake from things that can hurt others, which is in his heart just want to always get the pleasure of God, God,  so he will love his husband or wife also because God is not because of mere lust, so when his life partner is shiny or wrong, he said,  then he would be able to remind her in a good way. He will not be pleased if his partner falls in a crime. There was no way she would betray or hurt her husband. The Prophet himself once said that people choose their life partner can be because based on beauty or good looks, based on his wealth, based on his message whether he is of good or ordinary descent,  and or it can also be on the basis of religious and religious understanding. If our soul mate tea has all of that then it is an extraordinary thing. If not, at least on the basis of religious understanding and ahlaknya, because it is the basic capital of our happiness in terms of building a household that is right mawadah warohmah “


Jaka someh was speechless from the long Ustadz Fikri. He realized that what Ustadz Fikri said contained a truth, because he himself was now experiencing it. He was sad and hard because his wife had underestimated and betrayed him. He used to marry Asih initially because he felt sorry for Mr. Rohadi who was in distress at that time because his daughter was pregnant out of wedlock.


Jaka Someh himself knows that Asih's character is actually not good, even though she is beautiful.  He is arrogant, likes to underestimate, impatient and easy to indulge his passions. As a result, she became pregnant out of wedlock because of her actions.


At that time, the innocent Jaka Someh was willing to marry Asih to protect the dignity of the family of Mr. Rohadi.  Now he was betrayed by Asih whom he had saved his dignity. His heart felt so painful. Jaka Someh then asked Ustazd Fikri,


“According to Mr Ustadz now I have to how?  Please advice!  I love Asih, my wife. Now all I want is for my wife to be aware and be a good woman, no longer do mischief, I do not want to see Mr. Ustadz if my wife continues to do maksiat “


Ustadz Fikri was moved by the simple wishes of Jaka Someh. There was no grudge or malice in his heart, despite having been betrayed by his wife.


Ustadz Fikri said to Jaka Someh,


“Alhamdulillah if you think like that. Actually you could have divorced your wife who betrayed you, that's your right.  It is not wrong to divorce her. But it seems like at this time, you still feel hard if you divorce your wife, because you still hope she can turn into a good woman. Heumm, in fact you chose on a hard decision, I actually do not recommend it, but if Someh still wants to be patient maintaining the household, I can only advise that Someh increase praying to Allah. Wastainu bi shobri. Istianah is with shobar and prayer! Istianah it means you pray earnestly considering the problem is very serious . Ask the Gusti of God to go through this ordeal immediately. Allah is All-Powerful and Accords to the PRAYER of His servant. Ask for goodness for you and your family. Pray that Nyi Asih will soon come to his senses and become a good woman, able to believe and fear Allah. Advise him with patience and kindness!  Keep in mind, Mother Eve was created from the ribs of the most crooked Prophet Adam, so the nature of women is generally crooked, most of them easily become mutung, if hardened can be broken, so the nature of women is generally crooked,  if left it will become more crooked. So you must multiply giving advice to Asih, Advise in a good way and at a good time, do not fit him tired. Slow down, be patient !“


Jaka Someh was silent listening to the advice of Ustadz Fikri. Then he sighed, saying to ustadz Fikri,


“ Mr. Ustadz, God willing I can be patient, it's just that I am confused, all this time I have been trying to do good, away from the deeds of morality and sin, he said, and I also abstain from persecuting creatures, let alone men, but why did God give me a dholim wife, whereas in the Qur'an itself it has been mentioned that a good wife is for a good husband, and vice versa, how about Mr Ustadz? Where is my fault?”.


Ustadz Fikri smiled at Jaka Someh's question, then he said


“Betul Someh, a good wife is indeed for a good husband, so if we are happy at the good will certainly choose a life partner also based on goodness, both in terms of morality and religion, so if we are happy at the good, are you like that already? You alone can answer it. A good man should choose a good life partner! and vice versa. But if everything has already happened, you also do not give up, all the good deeds we do, as long as it is mediated by pure sincerity because of God alone, surely God will repay it, he said, the important thing is to be patient, and continue to be wise, even if we feel good but it turns out we are still tried by God through our partner who is not good, yes remain patient! pray to the Lord of God !so that our spouse will immediately get guidance, even if it turns out not to get a good wife according to our expectations while living in the world you do not worry because God is grateful for the goodness of His servant,  to anyone who has believed and done righteous deeds, Allah will surely repay that patience with his heaven, and in that heaven there is a beautiful angel who will be his wife , so you tea must be patient jang!  walah jang, if you already have an angel wife mah, you will forget tea or the beautiful women in this world, hehehe ”.


“Oh yes Someh, you have to remember that the true life is actually the atherat life, the life that lasts saterusus, while the life of the world is only temporary, only a cement of years,  at least 70 to 80 years, it rarely feels like there are humans who can reach the age of more than 100 years, the hadith of the prophet also says so ‘Inna aina, he said,  ainnal akheroh’ the true life is the life of akherot, so in fact we live in this world only for a short time, so if we are tried hardship by the Almighty mendingan patience, so we are actually living in this world,  that tea is just a moment sabenernya mah, especially when compared with the eternal eternal acherate life forever ”.


Jaka Someh seemed to get life enlightenment from Ustadz Fikri. His heart began to grow back. The feeling of the chopstick that had controlled his soul had started to disappear. He thanked Ustadz Fikri for giving him his message.


Since his meeting with Ustadz Fikri, Jaka someh tried to get closer to the God of All Nature. Every night he rejoiced and prayed for the guidance of the Almighty. Jaka Someh wants to rely on his marriage.


He also tried to further improve his attitude to Asih, giving him more attention than usual and occasionally also giving him good advice.


One night, Asih was sick. His face looked pale, even several times he vomited. Jaka someh who saw the state of Nyi Asih like that was worried. He also laid Asih nyi on the bed, while massage the Asih limbs with full tenderness. He also treated nyi Asih with wild honey and ginger wedang. Jaka someh said softly to his wife,


“Come nyi!  drink honey and ginger first! “


Asih also complied with Jaka someh's request, saying,


“Iya Kang Someh, thank you “


While massaging Asih's feet, Jaka someh said,


“Now Nyai must rest a lot first! Don't mind much, hopefully tomorrow morning already healthy “


Shake his head, though,


“Iya Kang “


Then they also fell silent. Long enough Jaka someh menijiti feet Nyi Asih. Only his mind was busy with various problems. So many words in his heart that he wanted to convey to Asih, but he was unable to express them. Worried that his words would ruin the mood of Asih who was now in pain.


After a long time getting a massage from Jaka Someh, Asih finally fell asleep. Knowing his wife had fallen asleep, Jaka Someh immediately put a cloth blanket on Asih's body. Then he slept in a bale-bale not far from Asih's bed.


The next morning they woke up. It looks like he has recovered from his pain.  Jaka Someh smiled at his wife,


“How has Nyai gone?”


Shake his head, though,


“Iya Kang Someh, Alhamdulillah has improved, thank you “


Jaka Someh smiled again, then he woke up from his sleep,


“Aang to ****** first yes Nyai, want to shower and pray “


Asih looked at Jaka Someh's face, though,


“Kang! “


Jaka someh also replied to Asih's views


“Iya Nyai, what's up ?”


Half hesitating Asih said slowly to Jaka Someh,


“Anu kang, later, eeh Akang pray it here only!  I want to join kang Someh “


Jaka Someh was surprised to hear Asih's words, although he was surprised that he felt very happy because his wife had been willing to pray. No words were spoken from the mouth of Jaka someh except,


“Oh yes, yes Nyai, I will pray here “


With a heart full of happiness Jaka someh went to the well that was behind his house. He also cleaned his body and prepared to pray together with his wife. In his heart he said,


“Alhamdulillah gusti, my wife already wants to pray, hopefully You give her guidance and kindness in her life “


After Jaka Someh returned to his room, it was Nyi Asih's turn to go to the well to clean himself up. Not forgetting he was ablution. Although he had not practiced prayer and ablution for a long time, he still remembered his procedures. They also prayed in the room. How happy Jaka was that day. Since then Asih has started to order his prayer service, although there are still many holes. But Jaka someh remains grateful because there has been a change in his wife.
