Let Time Talk

Father restu

After receiving a phone call from Bu Yahyu, as soon as my mind was upset, my heart was beating violently, I felt that something bad was going to happen.

Immediately I moved, asked permission and dragged my matic motorbike to the IGD hospital where my father was taken by his friends.

A little running around, I finally managed to set foot inside the IGD room.

There's already Bu Yahyu and three other people I don't know.

Upon seeing my presence, Bu Yahyu got up from his seat and approached me.

"How's my dad, ma'am...?" I anxiously grabbed onto Bu Yahyu's arm.

" The doctor is still handling it, you calm down, everything must be fine." she smiled slightly and rubbed my arm.

I just nodded slowly.

" So our plan was to pick up your father, like I said yesterday. But when we arrived, we felt your father looked very tired, so we decided to just hang out at your house. When we found out, your father started to claustrophobic and broke out in cold sweat, we brought him here..."

"Thank you Mom, I can't imagine if you'd experienced that alone at home.Sorry to be troublesome" I immediately wiped my tears that I couldn't hold back.

Bu Yahyu still hugged and gently rubbed my back.

Moments later, Devan came and approached his mother.

"How is Mr Rusdi Ma?" ask me Devan

"No idea, Van.still inside..''

But just as Yahyu's mother said so, a nun came out of the action room.

"The Rusdi family? Please comein..."

I approached the father who was still conscious but with various tools attached to his body. Although I have seen it several times like that, but my feelings are always not because of it.

"Dad.." call me slowly while wiping his cold arm.

My father responded, turned to me and tried to smile.

"Kinan.sorry father...always bother you..."

" No father, Kinan did not bother at all. Kinan dear father so please father always strong yes.."quickly I wipe away the tears that I can no longer contain.

" Kinan.kamu don't be sad anymore yes, all has been written by Him, I don't want you ..keep thinking about him..."

My heart flinched, the father who had been silent had always been watching me. Although I said nothing, but my father took it, and felt my sorrow. So I'm the one who caused a father like this...

"Actually I want you to accept another man, but I know you're still thinking about him" he sighed heavily.

"Dad rest.don't think too much..."

"Dad was afraid of Kinan.not afraid of death, but.fear not to marry you.." Father's tears flowed. I who saw it immediately took a tissue and rubbed it even though the tears from my own eyes were getting more and more flowing.

How'this? How can I calm father down, while I myself am very fragile. From behind my body, Bu Yahyu approached and rubbed my back, channeling strength for me to endure.

"Dad must be healed.hiks.ayah will definitely marry Kinan, so I have to be strong" I started sobbing.

I saw him trying to smile, but I knew he was holding back his pain.

Bu Yahyu started to get nervous, and the other friends of his father started to look at him.

Then Bu Yahyu whispered to me, "Kinan..would you marry Devan?"

I immediately looked over and frowned. I looked one by one at the other at the sign of not understanding, I was confused.

"Devan..are you willing to marry Kinan? Rusdi wants to marry Kinan, now..." Bu Yahyu asked his son in front of all of us.

Of course Devan looked very surprised.

"Huh..!!But what about Kinan ..?"

I held my palm and tried to smile.

"Dad, do you really want to marry me to Devan mas.." I said slowly.

"Dad .. so much fun..kalo you...Kinant.."

" Kinan will be happy if you are also happy, Kinan is ready .dad.." I saw my father smiling with relief. And seeing that, my heart felt light and my burden diminished.

"Devan...are you willing to accept responsibility towards Kinan from me? Take care of it for the rest of your life." asked Dad to Devan

All eyes stared at Devan, waiting for his answer. Except for me, just being able to look down and set my own heartbeat, felt burdened by the man.

"Yes Rusdi sir.I am willing to marry Kinan..."

"Alhamdulillah.I will marry you now..."

The father's words made everyone present there again dumbfounded.

"Please guide me. You will all be a witness." said the father while trying to sit leaning back.

Mr. Muji who turned out to be an ustad, guided the prayer. Bu Yahyu took off the ring in his diary and folded the mukena that was always in his bag, then arranged it neatly. Doctors and nurses also witnessed this impromptu ijab qobul.

With the stammering father said while shaking the hand of Devan.

"I marry.and control.my child..Kinanti Prameswari bint Rusdi with dowry set.alat prayers and rings paid in cash .."

"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Kinanti Prameswari bint Rusdi with the dowry paid in cash"

"Alhamdulillah...Allahumma inni as'aluka min khoirihaa wa khoirimaa jabaltahaa 'alaih. Wa a'udzubika min syarrihaa wa syarrimaa jabaltaha 'alaih.." pak Muji continued with a series of prayers recited by all of us.

"O Allah, make this agreement, a blessed contract, a contract that does not exist after separation (divorce) or hostility, the Akad that was blessed for both of them and for both of them from beginning to end until both of them met You and You were pleased with both O Lord of the Universe. O Allah, extend the sustenance of both and make good deeds for both and protect them from shirk, doubt, nifaq and bad deeds.

O Allah, O our Lord, make between them an unbroken harmony and an end and keep them from enmity and separation by Your mercy, O Dzat the Most Merciful of the Merciful. O Allah, make this marriage, an everlasting and lasting marriage until you meet You and You are pleased with both, O Lord of the Universe.

O Allah, make it their second livelihood, good livelihood and good livelihood, enjoy and be blessed and provide sustenance for both children of good descent and bring kindness and be a heartbreak for both, Verily, Thou art Powerful over all things, and ever hastening to fulfill the supplication."

" Amin..."

"Kinan.kiss your husband's hand son.." said Dad.

I clumsily grabbed Devan's awkward hand and kissed him. After which, she pulled my shoulder to come closer and kissed my forehead gently.

I don't know what feeling I'm feeling..

I saw Dad so happy then lay back down.

"Kinan.now you belong to your husband, dedicate to him, because your paradise is in him." father's message again.

"Yes father, Kinan will always remember.." I said as I leaned my head against his arm.

I feel very happy to make my father proud to have successfully said ijab qobul for me. I heard Dad muttering indistinctly, as I looked up...

"Dad...what's up...dad why..?"I stared at the father who looked weak and teary-eyed.

The doctor came forward to check on my father, and the nurse advised us to get out of there.
