Dinda opened her eyes, she blinked her eyes a few times. The cold immediately pierced her skin as Dinda removed the blanket she was wearing to sleep.
He got up and walked to the bathroom for ablution. The tap water starts pouring out when Dinda turns it on. He washed his hands by reciting the prayer before ablution. His hands began to look up to hold the water, then he began to wash his face three times. Further with the movement of the provisions movement in ablution.
"أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِى مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَاجْعَلْنِى مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ"
Meaning: I testify that there is no true god except Allah alone, no ally to Him, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. O Allah, make me a repentant servant and make me a holy one.
Dinda prayer after finishing taking ablution. He walked back to the room. Dinda turned on the lamp, at the sight of Ilham who was sitting dirt on his alphabet. He walked to pick up the mucus stored on the table, but when he was about to wear it Dinda's hand stopped because he remembered something. His eyes immediately glanced towards the several prayer tools located right where his mukena was stored. There are prayer rites, mukena, tasbih and the Quran.
Dinda immediately grabbed a plain white face. His smile was perfect.
Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, I received the marriage and marriage of Dinda Pangestuti bint Ahmad Mansur with a dowry of gold weighing 15 grams, the Quran, and a set of prayer tools in paid cash,,,,, and,,,
When imagining where Ilham said that sacred sentence. His hand immediately clenched the white face, as if so precious to him.
"Sir..."
"Eh yes...??" Dinda immediately turned her back when Ilham called out to her.
"You want to pray tahajud?"
Dinda nodded.
"Yes, before dawn."
"Yes, um." The answer is to immediately use the mukena and then take the prayer beads and prayer mats to perform tahajud prayers.
"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim..." Dinda raised both hands when two rakaat prayer tahajud he had finished, and dhikr had been completed.
رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
O our Lord, grant us, our spouses and our descendants as the sweeteners (we), and make us priests for those who fear.
رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَاء
My Lord, make me and my descendants the ones who continue to pray. O Lord, we grant my prayer.
الّلهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَفْسًا بِكَ مُطْمَئِنَّةً تُؤْمِنُ بِلِقَائِكَ وَتَرْضَى بِقَضَائِكَ وَتَقْنَعُ بِعَطَائِكَ
O God, I ask You for a quiet soul, who believes in meeting You and accepts what is Your grace and is willing to Your provision.
رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا مِنْ لَّدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَّهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ اَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا
Oh, my God, we. Give us grace from Your side and perfect our righteous guidance in our affairs.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ
O our Lord, do not turn our hearts from Islam after You have guided us. Give us faith from Your side. Thou art the Merciful to the Believers.
اللَّهُمَّ مُصَرِّفَ الْقُلُوبِ صَرِّفْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ
O Allah, the One who turns away our hearts, turn our hearts to obedience to You
رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَإِنْ لَمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
O our Preserver, we have indeed done our deeds to ourselves. And if Thou hast not forgiven us, and have mercy on us, surely we are of the losers.
رَّبِّ اغْفِرْلِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيراً
O my Lord, forgive me and my parents, and love them as they took care of me as a child.
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
O our Preserver, give us in this world good and so in the Hereafter good. And protect us from the torment of Hell.
"Milk..."
After she finished praying, Dinda resumed her recitation. Waiting for the prayer time to arrive.
Tok tok....
"Ilham Dinda's..." Call Abah from outside the room. Hearing that, Ilham immediately stood up and opened the door.
Abah smile. A smile, which is so reassuring. "Do you want to pray at home or in the mosque?"
Ilham. "Njih bah, I will go to the mosque."
"Pig..." Call Nyai Ma'am who comes. "Biarin to bi, let Ilham and Dinda pray together in the room first. Let it be both, the newlyweds would definitely be alone. Yes to ham??"
Inspiration smiled stiffly. "Umi's seeds..."
"Oh so, yes already. Just continue on..." Abah said. He immediately walked away with Umi to go to the mosque.
Inspiration closed the door again. "Why abi umi mas?" Ask Dinda.
"No papa, just where do you want to pray?"
"Oh,, continues?"
"May tell us to pray here."
Allahuahbar.... Allahuahbar....
Hearing the voice of the Adhan that had echoed, Dinda immediately returned to take ablution. They both pray together.
After finishing praying together after praying, Dinda asked for his memorization by Ilham. He is new in the process of memorization, and at this time the total of his memorization is 26 juz, bismillah may Allah make it easy to be quickly resolved to khatam. Amyn...
Dinda stood up and took the Quran which was also made dowry in her marriage. He sat down again with Inspiration, and handed over the Qur'an he had taken. "What page?" Ask Inspiration.
"Juz 24, surah shod."
Inspiration immediately opened the page as Dinda told.
"This, page 452??"
"Oh yes, this..." Reply Dinda nodded.
He began to read taawudz and basmalah, while Inspiration focused himself to listen per verse read by his wife. By occasionally allowing erroneous readings, then less makhraj and shorter lengths that are less full.
In these eight years, he had learned the Qur'an. So for him to read the Qur'an is not just reading, it cannot be equated when we read books or stories. The Quran has many reading provisions that must be properly understood so that the meaning is correct. Because many Quran readings are wrong or one letter is wrong, it can almost change the meaning of the word.
"Shodaqollahul Adzim..." Close Dinda when a quarter of the juz has been read. Ilham closed the Qur'an and kissed it.
"Yes..."
"Hm?"
"There's something Dinda would like to ask."
Mangosteen inspiration. "What?"
Dinda sighed slowly. "Mas, Dinda wants permission.soal..."
"Mas, from now on Dinda wants a veil. What can?" Further asked.
•••••
In the morning around six local time, the boarding school was filled by the sound of many students who were busy clean from yesterday's event. The sun had already revealed its face, until it began to shine.
Dinda's three friends were so, they helped mbak mbak santri to clean everything up. "Well, didn't you go to school today?" Syifa asked with a fixed sweep of the trash and dry leaves that fell on the green grass of the Pesantren courtyard.
"Today is Sunday, so it's a holiday. "Answer with a smile. Syifa immediately patted the eel hearing that.
"Oh yes, yesterday was Saturday. Hehehe sorry mbak, I'm old so often forget." Syifa reply grinned wide. "But I don't look old?" Syifa asked again to make a boy named Nurul shook his head.
"Mboten, still looking young. It's pretty..."
"Yes.if it looks beautiful I admit it..." Answer Syifa confidently.
"Assalamualaikum Syifa..."
Syifa turned her head, she glared in shock at the woman in front of her.
"Loe....Dinda??"
"Yes." Yeah."
Syifa's index finger was directly aimed at the woman in front of her. "Din...lo kok...wear a veil??" Ask him confused.
Behind her veil Dinda smiled. "Yes, I've decided to start today and for later I'll wear a veil."
"Are you sure??" Ask Syifa again. The feeling last night he still saw Dinda as usual, and this morning it has changed his best friend.
"Related."
"Really din...?? If you're sure you're not papa, I'll keep supporting."
"Hem thanks ya.yuk now breakfast first. His breakfast was at Anterin mas Ilham home. Yuk..!"
Syifa nodded.
"Mbak Nurul, please continue yes.and other children do not forget to ask for help. And oh yes mbak, tell mbak Hasna also yes.today there gotong royong make clean pesantren. So let the children be included."
"Yes ustadzah..." Mba Nurul replied.
"Thank you, ma'am..."
"Sami sami."
Dinda walked with Syifa to the house. "Eh din, will there be gotong royong?"
"Yes. Because today santri clean for yesterday's event, all right to getong royong."
"Ooh...Yes, let me help you too. Can you?"
"May, but don't get tired yeah.pity dede baby."
"Gue is strong, so it's not easy to get tired!" Syifa smiled broadly. "Eh din, Lina and Ayesha already know that you're veiling from now on?"
"Udah is."
"Keep on how? They must be surprised like me..."
"Well, I'm sad to know. If your face is covered, I can't see dong anymore. If you smile or jutek, I don't know because it's closed. But yes, I doain hope Istiqomah yes..?!"
"Mother."
The two of them entered the house, in the living room there was Fariz and Ilham who were chatting. The two of them continued to step inside, until they met the empty living room and there, Aisyah also held a large carpet and prepared breakfast that was brought by Ilham earlier.
Syifa opened the room door. "Yes..." Call him to Reyhan who knows what the guy is doing.
Reyhan immediately looked over. "Breakfast first." Syifa.
"Yes." Yeah." Reply to Reyhan by standing up and coming out of the room. Along with the same Iqbal came out of the room with Aluna.
Fariz and Ilham who had been in the living room also immediately came to the living room. "Uweh uweh, newlyweds...." Chirps Iqbal.
"Where was his first night, Adinda Dinda and Kanda Ilham?" Ask by playing his eyebrows.
"What the hell lo bal...!" Reply Ilham saw cynical Iqbal. Why did he ask the first night in front of the others?
"Eh I have a song.this is the creation of upin ipin. Dengerin yes, um. Congratulations..congratulations.welcome to the newlyweds." Iqbal began to sing. "Congratulations,, congratulations, congratulations, happy newlyweds. Sit with the bar bride..." Not yet finished her song, Lina immediately pulled her husband forcibly to sit on the carpet.
"Yes, rather than singing it was clear mengingan breakfast first..." Said Lina softly yet with a glaring face.
"Ih ga papa tau lin, Iqbal's voice is good." Typhoon Syifa.
"No, my voice was good a long time ago. It's good in the denger, isn't it fa?"
Syifa nodded strongly. "Yes, I'll sing again. I think Syifa wants to sing Iqbal."
Reyhan immediately threw away his face hearing that. That's why he's jealous. While lina glared at judes towards the two.
"No, not lin. I don't want to sing quietly. Yes, I'm sitting down..." Syifa immediately took off her sandals and sat down beside Aisyah.
They all sat down for breakfast together. "Well, you ain't eating too?" Ask Aisyah who saw Dinda as well Ilham just stood looking.
"No, I had breakfast with abi umi. You guys eat, we're going to go out first, okay?!"
"Oh yes, yes..."
They both walked out.
"Aluna wants eggs?" Tanya Lina offered.
"You mother." The answer made Lina add one mature egg on her daughter's plate.
"A bribe father huh?!" Iqbal took Aluna's plate and started scooping the food.
Meanwhile Syifa frowned when she saw Reyhan who ate a small portion. "Why is it eating just a little mas? That's not even half of Syifa's portion."
"Udah full."
"Udah full? What did you eat?"
Reyhan was silent without warning. He ate the food and chewed it until it was swallowed.
"Lo so craving to sing with Iqbal?" Reyhan asked, Syifa shook her head slowly. "No, that was just a joke. Why?"
Reyhan was silent again without responding.
"Emmm.. Syifa knows, I'm jealous, right? Aye right? Hem?!" He asked with Reyhan's arm. "Mas.ga need to be jealous. Syifa, tell me yes, my love is only for you."
Slowly but surely, that is how Syifa said it.
"Yes already eat gih, if so later mas aja who sang for Syifa. How's it?"
"Whatever." Reply Reyhan.
"Promise me, I'll have to sing for ayang." Syifa said withholding her laughter. He scoops the food and then devours it.
Bruuuts...
Syifa stopped her mouth that had been busy chewing, she looked at the one by one people sitting in front of her. Who was the one who threw the wind? Slowly, the smell began to smell by his nose.
Aluna smiled shyly. "Emm, I'm sorry I didn't intentionally mislead her." Said slowly.
"Luna..." Call Lina.
"Sorry mother, Aluna couldn't help it. The fart arrived just as old and bluuut..." Said Aluna mimicking the tone of her fart that had just come out. He then held his stomach. "Mother, Aluna wants a pup."
"Oh...My mother!!" Iqbal. "Anterin Aluna to the toilet."
Iqbal nodded.
"Let's go...Kebelet huh??"
"Yes Dad..."
Iqbal holds Aluna and takes her to go to the toilet.
Syifa swallowed her food. "Aluna is a very old language, Lin..." His word.
"Yes that's it.if you talk often use the default language like that."
In about five minutes, Aluna and Iqbal came back and sat down where they were. Iqbal returned to fetch the plate, about to feed his daughter. Because the food that Aluna ate was not finished. Meanwhile, Aisyah, Fariz and Reyhan had just finished breakfast.
"Mother.tadi eek Aluna long long." Aluna said so plainly. Almost the food that Syifa chewed was gushed forward hearing the utterance of Aluna. "Belwalna green mother..."
I wanted Syifa to vomit that time, too. Even to swallow food in his mouth alone now he was reluctant.
Lina smiled badly. "Aluna, don't talk about it anymore. Eat yes..."
"Yes mother" answered Aluna. "But Mother Aluna wants her belt."
"Ask what?" Ask Lina back.
Syifa immediately swallowed her food, before Aluna spoke a strangely again.
"Mother, why is walna eek different? There's yellow, brown, green..."
"Hhhhhhhhhh.." Lina quickly cut off her daughter's talk. He immediately carried Aluna and stood up. "I'm sorry everyone. Please continue eating." Lina then walked and took Aluna out.
Syifa put down her plate. His appetite disappeared instantly.
"Luna..." Lina sat Aluna in her lap. "Honey here horrified mother, do not discuss about eek in front of the crowd. Especially when the person is eating everything. Yea?!"
"Why mother?"
"Not polite, son...We have to keep our words in front of people. Can't just say. Yea?!"
•••••
Morning, after the four of them helped the santri to getong royong clean the boarding school. Now they sit down to relax in the long chair located in the courtyard. The hot sun began to heat up, making them choose to sit in a chair right under a large tree that grows in the yard, while enjoying the tranquility and small talk. It's been a long time since they've spoken like this.
"That's what I said too, hate it long ago will be love. Don't hate people too much, you don't trust me." Syifa. Because, it turns out Lina who was married first compared to the three of them. But if you remember back then they were like Tom and Jerry who never got along. There was something bad when we met. But at this time, look.they have become a couple.
"I used to say you said gini.ih will not, I will not love Iqbal. Where's ada? Not maybe!! Amit amit is..."Syifa continued with a little meye. Yes, more or less that was Lina's answer first.
"Eh but really, I don't think at all about Iqbal who even became my husband." Reply Lina.
"Yes the name is also soul mate lin, everyone will also be unexpected. Because no one knows. Aye right?" Timpal Aisyah responded.
"Yes too. And gini, one thing that surprised me. How can we do that cake so well. We are the legal department of four, well marriage is also the same person who is the cement of four. And they can also be called friends anyway? It's also pretty bad." Lina. "Aisyah is the same brother Fariz, I am the same Iqbal, Syifa is the same Kak Reyhan and Dinda is also the same brother Ilham. Kayak a miracle that lhoh.kayak very rare can match his soul mate. Is that all right??"
"Yes his name is also a soul mate, no one knows. We also did not think that it would fit that. That's God, he had a million wonderful plans for his servant. Which is totally unexpected. Allah has millions of secrets and stories, so if Allah wills to be like this. Yeah, well, eventually it'll be like this." Reply Dinda who was nodded agreed by her three best friends.
"Yes, how am I supposed to be? It's all like it's really special..." Lina said as if she would not be able to say another word. This is not a coincidence but a destiny, from the decree of Allah the All-Willed.
"By the way, this is seriously me yes..lo really sure will make a veil from today until the next?" Ask Lina.
Dinda nodded. "Yes. Sure..banget instead."
"Would you ask permission from Ilham?" Ask Aisyah.
"Udah, if it's not allowed today I won't make a veil right?"
"Eh, the reaction of brother Ilham when you permit to make a veil how about din? Doubtful, or think first or there's a condition or what?" Syifa asked kepo.
Dinda fell silent, remembering Ilham shubuh's response earlier.
"You sure?"
"Make sure." Answer Dinda.
"Mas wants to hear why you want to veil for what?"
"First, to hope for the pleasure of Allah. And secondly, as women we have to make Sayyidah Fatimah Az-Zahra as an idol, and Dinda wants to imitate him. And thirdly, as a woman it lies much slander in it. And the fact of the veil, is to protect." Dinda.
Inspiration immediately smiled. It is good that his wife is above this because God is not for anyone else. "Dec, in our neighborhood, not everyone can accept a veiled person. Some consider it bad, as many out there are abusing the use of the veil. Some are very very dislike, some are even afraid to see a veiled woman. If there will be ridicule, ridicule, insults that land on you. Are you ready? Before properly carrying out, gather the intention and mental. Do not get it later if it is not strong, in the middle of the road even on the loose. So how's?"
Dinda gave me a smile, a smile that was so convincing. "Actually Dinda has long wanted to veil, Dinda has also prepared mentally.and certainly before making a decision Dinda always thinks about the risks. And Dinda's very prepared for that."
"That Umi know with your intentions deck?" Ask Inspiration.
"Tau mas, because before marriage Dinda once asked permission to abi umi. They said Dinda must also get permission first from Dinda's husband."
Mangosteen inspiration. "Yes, I allow it..If that's how you start to carry out your intentions?"
"Today." Answer Dinda
So that morning Dinda immediately opened the closet and took out the niqab that had been stored. She started putting the niqab on her face, right in front of her husband. Even Inspiration helped him.
"Bismillah..."
In his heart solidified the intention for his big decision this time. For the good of the world, and the hereafter.
"How did Ilham din react?" Syifa repeated her question.
"Yes.mas Ilham just asked me why I chose to berniqab starting today." Answer Dinda. "You___there are the same objections...
my decision?" Ask Dinda heart.
