Karatan Bad Boy
Part 11#Marriage, Welfare
Rafa's honest request leads Kimmy to agree without a second thought. Although impressed like brothers who were born only a few years apart. One must think so too, if one sees the communication between him and the young man.
"So, tell me. What do you think of our matchmaking?" Kimmy looked at Rafa with a serious, unblinking look.
Just leave it to the point because it's better for both of them. Facts cannot be changed even if you want to ignore them. Likes, dislikes having to start introductions without parental guidance. Age can decide for itself what is good and what is not good.
Rafa shifted his sitting position, then put both hands on the table. His eyes were calm with a cold mind, "Honestly I don't feel ready to become a priest. As you said, whether as a man can fulfill the responsibilities of a husband in the future."
"Physically, I'm ready because I'm in good health. It's just that the mind is still hesitant to step onto the path based on the responsibility of the afterlife. But marriage also has a purpose of good in real life."
Rafa paused for a moment breathing in the oxygen around him. He felt he had to be positioned as an adult man both physically and psychically. It is not difficult because he is also a young man who has a high commitment when he has decided something in his life.
"We both know that the purpose of marriage in Islam is to worship Allah. As the Prophet said in a hadith, it means: 'Whoever marries, he has perfected half of his worship (his religion). And he shall fear Allah SWT in the maintenance of the other.' HR. Thabrani and Judge.
"If I follow the teachings of our religion. I believe that our matchmaking is the path God chooses for future lives. Now my question is, will Miss Kimmy be the wife and mother of our children? Having a husband of a young man who is still a high school student.
"It must be difficult to think we can be married couples because in addition to the age factor. I'm also worried about how our household will be run but for that, I want a little confidence in order to move forward. Can Miss Kim give us one chance to get to know each other?"
The length of the discussion is only focused on one direction. The young man forgot to ask what Kimmy wanted. The atmosphere makes Rafa forget his initial goals and instead provide options for future life. I don't know what's on his mind.
A thin smile adorned Kimmy's face. The girl did not want to comment too much. What is the use of line of words when he realized at this time Rafa is busy uniting one dream with a pseudo reality. One side of the plan of life is well-ordered and on the other side is only about peace without a meaningful storm.
There was no intention of answering in Kimmy's heart until the arrival of the maid who brought the order distract the two men who looked still so serious. Snacks such as french fries, cakes, pizza accompanied by cold drinks become the menu of choice to accompany togetherness.
"Food that's filling, shall I get you?" bargain Rafa with his right hand ready to grab a slice of warm pizza on the table.
Hunger in the stomach along with delicious halal food. Moreover, the order made by Rafa meets the tastes of a Kimmy. Elsewhere, there is a serious debate. Couple chat about a living that for three months does not get a wife.
"Mas, until when do I use my own money to meet the needs of our household? Do you not intend to find a permanent job for the future of our family." lamented the wife with a hand restraining her husband's departure.
According to the Islamic religion, the wife's living is a place to live, food, and clothing. However, in addition to food, clothing, and shelter, Shaykh Az-Zuhayli added side dishes, beauty kits, household appliances, including household assistants.
Then, among the few parties that a man must raise, the wife sits first after herself and her lost living does not simply fall. Shaykh Musthafa Al-Khin said:
يقدم بعد نفسه: زوجته، لأن نفقتها آكد، فإنها لا تسقط بمضي الزمان، بخلاف نفقة الأصول والفروع، فإنها تسقط بمضي الوقت
That is, “After himself, the husband must put his wife first. The benefits are more emphasized because the living does not fall out with the passage of time. It is different from living for parents or children. Their lives fall with the passage of time.
The whining voice of the woman he had married for three months with a sweet promise was no longer able to treat the tightness in his heart. The hand that was struggling was thrown away without feeling, then he again stepped away from the narrow room that became the boarding room. Live like a midfielder but have a place to shelter.
"If it wasn't for your family's theatrics, I would still be with a woman worthy of my future. There's no way I could be a man without money and live like a society's trash. Do I have to go back to see him?" ask yourself a silly thought based on insanity.
A glimpse of memory returned. Where with courage to say the pledge of sacred promise that makes his world turned upside down. A life filled with happiness because it always gets easy in every want something suddenly turned into a life full of pain and mediocrity.
"I've decided, I'll go back to him again. Who's resisting my charm?" Narcissists admire themselves. To not see the mirror how bad the heart and mind of the man.
Back to the cafe, where Kimmy wrote something on the paper that was folded as soon as it was finished. The fold of paper he thrust in front of Rafa. "Search for answers within the next five days. My decision depends on the outcome of your efforts, as well as your treatment."
"What's this?" Rafa picks up the fold but Kimmy's fingers signal him not to open the paper. "As you wish, by the way shouldn't we be practicing basketball, huh?"
