Until the day before noon, Jaka Someh still did not see Dewi Sekar. In his heart he felt worried fear that his existence had made Dewi Sekar uncomfortable.
“I am worried that Nyi Sekar is disturbed by my presence here, Does she feel condolences towards me?Do I leave this house immediately ? after all, he is also safe here, it seems like I really have to say goodbye! maybe it's good later tonight I speak to Pak Karta “.
At night, Jaka Someh met Raden Karta in a room. He was surprised to find that Dewi Sekar was sitting with Raden Karta and his wife. They seem to be talking about something serious. The feeling became clumsy when he saw Dewi Sekar was there. Somehow there is a feeling of shame when meeting Dewi Sekar. Jaka Someh looked at the face of Dewi Sekar. Dewi Sekar turned her face the other way, her face red. Her red lips looked a little smiling.
“Eh happened to be Jang Someh here, there is something I want to talk to Jang Someh, here is jang! sit down here! Comeing! “.
Suddenly Raden Karta said kindly to Jaka Someh, inviting him to sit beside him. With doubtful steps Jaka Someh approached them. He also sat beside Raden Karta and faced Dewi Sekar who was looking in the other direction.
“Sorry Father, Mr tea would like to chat with me, ?what are you talking about, sir?is there a problem?”
Tanya Jaka Someh in a slow tone.Hati suddenly become stubborn.
“iya jang, I want to chat with you, but just relax, no problem anything koq “. Said Raden Karta.
“Oh yes, by the way jang Someh now what age is it,?” continued Raden Karta.
Jaka Someh was wondering why Raden Karta suddenly asked his age. However, he still answered Raden karta's questions
“eeh I forgot sir, eeh how many yes? owh yes if not wrong about 25 years sir, !”
“euleuh euleuh, it turns out to be a weathered bachelor “
said Raden Karta laughing.
“iya sir, my age of tea is old, hehehe is rusty.”.
Said Jaka Someh jokingly to cover up the awkwardness in his heart.
“Heummm Jang Someh punten, is there no desire to immediately leave the bachelor so, ? Men the age of Jang Someh generally already have two or three children you know “.
Said Raden Karta.
“Iya of course I also want father, I also want to live a normal life like humans in general, but the problem is which woman can accept me in this situation ? “.
Jaka someh said.
“Koq said so, not yet tried, marry first! new ujang can conclude like that “.
Raden Karta protested the words of Jaka Someh.
Jaka Someh breathed. There was doubt in his heart to reveal his heart. After a moment of silence, Jaka someh began to respond to Raden Karta's remarks.
“ Actually I've been married sir, !” Jaka Someh.
“Hah? “.
Sontak Raden Karta was shocked to hear the words of Jaka Someh,
“Kang Someh already married ?”
Dewi Sekar felt shocked.
Jaka Someh glanced at Dewi Sekar, then said again, saying,
“Iya nyai, but wedding akang failed “
Jaka someh said in a sad tone.
“Heh? is that really jang Someh?” tea
Tanya Raden Karta who still does not believe one hundred percent in the words of Jaka Someh.
“Yes, this is really !“. Jaka Someh.
“heh, how is Jang some story? Would you mind telling me ? “. Said Raden Karta.
“Actually I no longer want to bring up my past, but well sir will I tell you “.
Jaka Someh was silent for a few moments. Then after taking a deep breath, he began to tell Raden karta and Dewi Sekar.
Jaka Someh told me from the moment he lived on the slopes of the foot of Halimun mountain and was asked by Mr. Rohadi to marry his daughter who had been pregnant out of wedlock. But apparently after living a married life for approximately two years, Nyi Asih was decided to return to her former lover.
Jaka Someh tells his life story in a way and clearly.
“That's how gaffer, nyai, I finally decided to leave my hometown and wander until finally coming here “. Jaka Someh closes the story.
“Sabar yes kang Someh! I am also concerned about akang “Kata Dewi Sekar.
“Iya jang be patient! Insha Allah ujang will be able to replace the better “ Raden Karta also empathize with Jaka Someh.
“But, by the way, by the way you tea have no children with your ex-wife jang, ?” Said Raden Karta curious.
“Birth child, meaning sir ?hehe father mah could have, yes no sir! I am ashamed to say it, hehe, I have never touched Asih at all as well, but the son of Nyi Asih I already consider as my own son “.
Jaka Someh said shyly.
“hah? that means you have never been in contact like a husband and wife with your ex-wife jang?” asked Raden Karta in surprise.
“Iya. I was embarrassed. I'm still a hundred percent virgin tinting “.
Jaka Someh smiled as he bowed his head in embarrassment.
Dewi Sekar and Raden Karta laughed at the words of Jaka Someh.
“Haha, you tea stupid man jang someh! how can you not be in love with your own wife? duh stupid, lest you are not good at seducing women “.
Raden Karta laughs at Jaka Someh.
Jaka Someh just smiled at Raden Karta's joke.
“Yes father, I lack confidence in women “
Jaka Someh.
Raden Karta nodded her head.
Raden Karta then glanced at Dewi Sekar, his nephew. He said in a soft voice.
“I'm up to mamang only, how good is “
Said Dewi Sekar who had handed the decision to his uncle. His head bowed, as his hands played the edge of his cloth.
Jaka Someh was astonished by their whispering conversation. He had not yet caught the point of their conversation.
“ Jang Someh here ! “
Raden Karta turned towards Jaka Someh.
“Iya Mr “ says Jaka Someh suddenly tense.
“Look Jang Someh! Mr. Teh intends to match you with my nephew, namely Dewi Sekar, what do you think Jang Someh ?”
With a voice that is quite clear, Raden Karta expressed his desire to marry Jaka Someh to Dewi Sekar. Like hearing lightning in broad daylight, Jaka Someh felt shocked.
He was silent for a long time, stunned to hear Raden Karta's words.
Then his right hand pinched the calf of his right leg. Feels sick. But, he still did not feel 100 percent trust in the words of Raden Karta. In a soft voice he asked Raden Karta again to confirm the truth of the speech he had just heard.
“Punten Bapak, I mean Mr ehh ehh, You will match me with Nyi Sekar? is it true, ? “
“Iya Jang Someh, Previously you have discussed this matter with Nyi Sekar, only Jang Someh's turn, about ready or not, ?”.
Raden Karta reiterated his words. Jaka Someh stared at Dewi Sekar. Getting such a gaze of jaka someh, Dewi Sekar turned her face the other way. His face became red.
“Father, honestly my heart is very happy, even though this feels like a dream for me, Only I am confused “.
Said Jaka Someh, then he resumed his speech
“I am just an ordinary man and have no position, while Nyi Sekar, for me is like a goddess, not just have a beautiful face, but, but also having a good person and from a good bloodline, a noble, whether my circumstances will not trouble him later, I fear this is only a dream for Me, Sir, But if you ask me if you are willing to marry Dewi Sekar? Of course I will answer, will! but it would be nice for you to reconsider “.
Jaka Someh stopped his words again for a while. He blew his breath. Quiet for a moment. Jaka Someh thought hard. Then he continued his words again,
“May you be pleased with my application, sorry if I am not polite ”
Although with a clumsy feeling, Jaka Someh behaved knightly, declaring a proposal to Dewi Sekar in the presence of Raden karta.
Raden Karta nodded her head,
“Yes Jang Someh. Thank you, God willing this decision we have talked about carefully, so it feels not rushed”
Jaka Someh's mood became very tense. A sense of happiness, confusion and misgivings mixed in his heart. After a brief stale jaka Someh also said goodbye to Raden Karta and Dewi Sekar.
That night and the next night he slept in the mosque porch in the village. Jaka Someh seeks to draw himself closer to the Creator, asking for guidance and kindness for his future. He increased prayer and remembrance and beristikhoroh for his desire to invite Dewi Sekar.
Three days later Jaka Someh returned to Raden's house to discuss the proposal to the goddess Sekar. The decision of Raden Karta and Dewi Sekar turned out to be unchanged, Dewi Sekar still willing to marry Jaka Someh.
“Alhamdulillah “.
Jaka Someh spontaneously made a prostration of gratitude.
“But kang Someh ?“
Suddenly Dewi Sekar said to the goddess Sekar. Jaka Someh's heart suddenly became stubborn.
“What's up ?”.
Jaka Someh said suddenly.
“Kang, I have a request to akang, if possible after marriage later for a while, would I be pleased if I do not have a husband and wife relationship first? since I still want to focus on Rama and my sister, how about kang ?”. The goddess Sekar.
Jaka Someh sighed at the request of Dewi Sekar. Then he smiled, though,
“Heumm nyai, I am already happy you are willing to marry akang, if the problem is, God willing not to worry, I will grant what he asks “.
Raden Karta also smiled because he was happy to have managed to match Someh's body with his nephew. Shortly afterwards came Raden Karta's wife to bring her perfunctory dishes. They also chatted for a long time while planning their wedding.
Tomorrow night, the wedding of Jaka Someh with Dewi Sekar in a simple title. Although simple but become lively because many residents want to attend it. The regent is Raden Karta and the predecessor is Ustadz Naim.
Almost all villagers were present at the event. They are happy because Jaka Someh will marry the goddess Sekar.
Although they only briefly know Jaka Someh, but the villagers already feel airborne with jaka Someh. It may be because of the attitude of Jaka Someh who is always friendly to them and always light-handed to help. Mang Adang and Ceu Entin were also present at the wedding of Jaka Someh with Dewi Sekar. Even Mang Adang was one of the witnesses in the marriage.
Jaka Someh sat neatly with the penghulu and the witnesses. They were waiting for the bride-to-be who was still dressing up in her room.
“Where is the prospective female bride? pity Jang Someh already restless fear of not getting married, hehehe“
Ustadz Naim said in a joking manner.
The audience laughed as they saw Jaka Someh's tense face. Jaka Someh can only mess with jokes from the audience.
Not long after Raden Karta came out of his room while holding Dewi Sekar. Jaka Someh gawking towards the face of Dewi Sekar, he was fascinated to see the appearance of Dewi Sekar at that time. Likewise, the audience was amazed to see the beauty of the Goddess Sekar like a goddess of grace that descended to the earth. Dewi Sekar wears a greenish-white silk dress decorated by jewel beads. On his forehead there is a decoration of glittering gemstones. Her hair was covered with a veil that was also made of beautiful silk.
“Nyaiii !“
Unknowingly Jaka Someh muttered.
Suddenly Jaka Someh remembered the Ustad Fikri who had once advised him to remain patient while being betrayed by his wife, Asih.
Ustadz Fikri once said,
“even if we do not find a good wife who is in accordance with our expectations when living in this world, you do not worry because God is grateful for the goodness of His servant, to anyone who has believed and done good deeds, Allah will surely reward him with Goodness, which is heaven, and in that heaven there is a beautiful angel who will be his wife , so you tea must remain patient yes jang, walah jang, if you already have an angel wife mah you tea will forget or the women in this world, hehehe ”.
Remember with the advice Jaka someh suddenly smiled to himself, without feeling he muttered softly.
“Yes Allah! it turns out that Ustadz Fikri said, You replaced my old wife with my current wife, God willing, may be a blessing, he said, for to me he is like an angel who is descending into this world, Alhamdulillah Gusti “.
Not long after the wedding ceremony was held immediately. Although feeling a little groggy but Jaka Someh fairly smoothly say the kabul ijab. All the witnesses and witnesses shouted:
“Saaaahhhh, .”.
Jaka Someh and Dewi Sekar have now officially become a legal husband and wife couple.
