Karatan Bad Boy

Part 17#BABY

The feeling is increasingly uncertain because both his parents and Rafa are still silent but suddenly the sound of a simple greeting from the sound of the house bell is heard from outside. A voice that attracted more of his papa's attention than the princess's own questions. Strange because it was not as usual for the father to behave like that.

"Rafa, go accompany Mas Fairuz. Mama's gonna take Kimmy inside first." Mama Lily moved from her seat. Footsteps walk around the table, while Rafa follows his orders.

The young man also woke up, then left the dining room without saying a word. The atmosphere was increasingly astonished and confused until the touch on the shoulder jerked the awareness that was trying to digest the situation around him. Mama's gentle speech can not be denied, let alone clearly visible eyes gaze of the woman was serious.

Wanting, unwilling, Kimmy came back to the room without being able to figure out what was going on. The voice that was clearly heard in front of the middle was having a long chat wide. Somehow the feeling became more and more unsettled until the mother closed the door as soon as they entered.

"Kimmy, how are you feeling now, son?" mama Lily asked her daughter to sit on the edge of the bed. He knew the girl must be confused, but what had happened could not be changed anymore.

Every time trauma strikes, the girl's memory is lost. The doctor said the princess refused to recall the worst time in life that always tormented the mind but that it would come back to mind if the trigger came back to remind. Like it happened last night.

The riots and terror that Delon created aroused fear within the princess but after being calm in Rafa's arms. That memory is not back knocked out without expecting to come back. Therefore, what remains is only confused because it does not remember the events of last night.

This condition has also been explained by the husband so that Rafa can understand even though it sounds strange and unreasonable. The manly and polite young man had already stolen the attention and approval from him, if he wanted to continue a more serious relationship.

"Mom why ask that? Kimmy's fine, just a little headache. Wrong sleep times, but why don't you scold Rafa? She would sleep even while curling me." Kimmy's protest as it is made Mama Lily smile thinly.

Want to explain what happened but not a good solution. "Rafa can do more after it's legal later because your marriage is fixed. Wait a minute," Mama Lily left Kimmy for the closet.

Glass cabinets featuring so many dresses became her goal. Without lingering the woman chose a long-sleeved floral dress with subordinates falling over. Dresses to wear at the right time. She remembers the dress being bought last year but still has a chance to wear Kimmy.

"My kind daughter, change your clothes first with this dress," Mama Lily gave her chosen dress to Kimmy's lap, then rolled her eyes for the princess to comply without wondering.

I don't know what his parents will do but he feels there is something big ready to shake his life. A premonition that since morning was felt could not be misdirected. But seeing the seriousness on his mother's face, he could not argue even though the mind began to calm down.

While down there, Papa Fairuz has just completed the formality that the religious court needs for an impromptu wedding to be held this morning as well. Yes, everything has been decided since last night and of course with the approval of Rafandra himself. So that marriage is no longer a coercion but a responsibility with full awareness.

"So, what about the dowry for her wedding? Have you thought that the pak penghulu record it now." asked the religious court officials who did come after a long debate last night.

That question made Rafa think for a moment. As a man, he had to give a dowry that suited his abilities just that it was impossible at will. A marriage that is expected to be once in a lifetime, however, should be as expected from both sides. That's his thinking.

Whereas in Islam the provision of dowry is regulated in the word of Allah SWT namely in Q.S An-Nisa Verse 4 which reads:

“Give mascawin (mahar) to women (whom you marry) as a gift with utter willingness. Then if they give you a portion of the makawin happily, then eat (take) the gift (as food) that is delicious again good as a result.”

Mahar or in Indonesian called as mascawin is a gift given by the groom to the bride at the time of marriage. In addition to being a mandatory requirement, dowry is also a proof if the bridegroom seriously wants to marry the woman of his choice and unite in the household ark.

Rafa took out the necklace that had been hiding behind her clothes, then took it off, then put it on the table. "The necklace I bought from my first job. It weighs only five grams. This necklace as a dowry and to complete then the second dowry of Ar-Rahman's letter reading."

"Alhamdulillah, it is a dowry glorified by Allah SWT. In accordance with the history of the Apostle as follows, 'Then if you have to spare a dowry in the form of clothes, cnc ⁇ n or laen as it is, then, then it can be done by memorizing one of the letters in the Qur’an yesu ar rahman.' HR. Bukhare.

The departure of Papa Fairuz gives Rafa time to talk with everyone present at the impromptu wedding. The young man was busy asking this in order to be a good priest to Kimmy. It is true that the life of his future wife needs support and support. Especially after seeing the fear of the substitute teacher.

"Why do you want to marry young? What is the same love of adolescence that usually still likes to play with friends." A neighbor who lived not far from Kimmy's house ventured to ask, while the one who was asked threw a charming smile without coercion.

When marriage becomes a complement to worship. Is age in question? The decision was already unanimous after thinking at length times the width of all possibilities and the future. It all starts when a warm conversation leads him to a sense of protection. The heart says it is made to complete the life of the substitute teacher.

That question brings a glimpse of the memory that happened last night. Where he sat enjoying a cup of coffee accompanied by Kimmy's parents. The conversation, which was originally just a small talk, suddenly turned to a more serious topic. The topic of marriage that changes the viewpoint even though it begins atonement for guilt.

"Rafa, Om doesn't know where to start but honestly seeing you can calm Kimmy makes me feel calm. The burden on the shoulder feels lighter just that the situation is not always the same. Are you willing to be Kimmy's companion as her legal partner? Om knows it must be heavy because your age is indeed much different" Papa Fairuz said looking at him with great hope.

The confession sounded sincere without any hidden intentions. He knows how difficult it is for parents to keep their children to adulthood. Although Kimmy is not a spoiled woman, still a different life is getting extra in the care. The past is dark but trying to be addressed.

"Om, it's not that I refused but actually Kimmy already refused the match because your mother cornered your daughter. Our relationship cannot continue after what happened. How to convince Kimmy to agree to a suit that would've been unthinkable." rafa replied as it was just that the two parents of the substitute teacher already knew the problem in question because Lion himself told without delaying time.

Mama Lily rubbed Rafa's back, "We have no problem with that because it's all clear even Keisha apologized even though it was just a phone call. Son, my daughter's good just bad luck always surrounds her. If all this goes on, we don't know until when we can keep Kimmy."

"Marry Kimmy because you can take care of him. Love him as much as you love your family. Learn to love to share every sorrow of life. Although our daughter is stubborn but she can quickly adapt. Moreover Rafa is willing to be our daughter-in-law?"

Mama Lily stretched out her right hand in front of Rafa. The gaze of the eyes expected approval for the long wait that had been neglected. The fear in her heart also felt as a mother who worried about the future of her beloved daughter. While Rafa pensively thought about everything carefully.

Fifteen minutes passed but Mama Lily's hand was still hanging indefatigably. It makes him feel guilty but the heart still tries to accept the reality so that there is no regret later on. Especially considering everything that has just happened, of course as a husband must provide protection to his wife.

"Rafa is willing to marry an aunt's daughter, but marriage will happen if Kimmy wants the same thing." Her hand welcomed Mama Lily's hand with a heart of surrender to the Creator.

Suddenly someone patted his shoulder surprised him but just threw a daydream last night. "Sorry, what was it?"

"Why do you want to marry young?" ask the father repeating his question that is almost expired because Rafa ignored.

Young marriage? True too, the fact tickles the heart and mind but does not change the decision. Age is not a provision because marriage must be ready mentally, materially and willing to fulfill responsibilities without any questions. If you think about it, his mentality begins to be fixed. Material can still be searched as long as the intention does not fade.

The eyes turned to look at a family picture frame that was clearly displayed standing upright on the sideboard cabinet of the north side of the living room. Kimmy's college graduation photo with a thin smile captured by the camera landscape. Graceful since birth with a charming look that certainly captivated many people adam.

"I got married for worship." replied Rafa firmly without hesitation. His voice sounded so serious that his footsteps above the stairs stopped enjoying the heartbeat racing erratically.
