Love Me Because of God

Gratitude

“What they say is that Yusuf will marry a disabled person” reflects brother yusuf, while bu zainab just fell silent in the corner of the room while looking at a photo of yusuf with a blank look. “Have bang we leave everything to Yusuf anyway all yusuf who will live it”. Send goddess, brother-in-law of yusuf. “Yes if the woman he introduced was not as bad as Fara, was blind, he spoke stuttering, usually the stutterer had less hearing, plus his legs were limping, what will be expected of him to meet his own needs he still needs others, it will inhibit Yusuf himself, if not helped even pity him.” “But bang we can not directly shower yusuf like that maybe yusuf has its own purpose”. The goddess again. “But that is the reality de”, yusuf who speaks for himself that the woman he is about to marry is disabled. “But we haven't seen it dam.” Finally, Zainab spoke up. Suddenly with his trademark smile, Yusuf came carrying a black package. “Assalamualaikum..” greetings yusuf break the silence of the middle room, all answer his greetings is no exception aulia the only niece of Yusuf, the son of brother adam and mba dewi. As usual after returning home, Joseph always had to be the horses for aulia around the room, with the laughter of all the family so that it warms the atmosphere of the room.

After five minutes passed by aulia descending from the shoulder of Yusuf, it meant that it was time for aulia to take a bath. Yusuf sat next to his mother and said “Bu, yusuf asked for help with his mother and kaka to take Yusuf to the house of Fatimah Az Zahra (Fara) today, yusuf had proposed to him through his uncle yesterday, and joseph promises today will come to marry her.” Everyone is shocked to hear his words, he said, but that's the reality by convincing his family members finally they went to the house of the fig not to forget again yusuf made his family shocked, he took out his luggage that was in the black bag, “ibu, <TAG1>ibu, it is not appropriate if we go there and do not bring anything, this is my savings so far if it is worth taking there.” While giving the package to his mother, and his mother opened it turned out to be money and a number of jewelry. “Bu, that's not much because my ability is only to that extent, the money amounts to 50 million, yusuf would like to ask for the opinion of mother and sister is roughly appropriate or not.” “subhanallah, that is more than enough, even that is more according to brother” continued kaka adam. “suf, I can only support all your decisions, you can only support all your decisions, if fara deserves to be compared with 50 million that mother can only pray that your steps in the ridhoi of God, mother always bless you, I know who you want,” “thank you ma'am, actually 50 million is nothing compared to fara bu” replied yusuf.

As they prepare to leave for the house of fara, aulia asked her omnya, “om...emange met aunty fara where, ko like people have known for a long time.” “om actually have never seen aunt Fatimah AzZahra,” again shocked family. “lho, continue ko you are sure the same fara from where the deck, even this has asked to marry all, and,” mba dewi also participated brightly with her sister-in-law. “fara is a child of ordinary people who studied at IAIN Walisongo Semarang mba, she was a student of Adnan kyai who also kyainya yusuf, she was a student of Adnan kyai Yusuf,” with a smile Yusuf continued his story “yusuf thought with mother, because mother had said want to see yusuf married, terynata kyai can read my grief, he offered a woman that is fara, he said, but he is flawed. Joseph had a moment of fear, a kyai adnan offered to joseph a complete person with disabilities, whose heart received, ahirnya with various reasons joseph rejected the woman, and kyai can understand with it.

Three months passed, Joseph thought that fara must have found his soul mate, and joseph found kyai again with the same question, but kyai adnan still offered fara to joseph, at that time Yusuf could not do anything else, yusuf shy of kyai adnan” “because of the shame ahirnya you accept disabled people suf?” Ask kaka dam. “no brother, not because of shame I received fara, but because joseph thought, joseph like a selfish person, can not accept the disabled person on the disabled is a creature of God as well, mom... fara has not had a father and mother since childhood, then hopefully with the presence of Yusuf in his life can replace his parents.” “ya son, I know you mean, may he be your field of worship.” “thank you mom, fara is a cousin of kyai adnan, so later the one who married is kyai adnan, yusuf always remember the advice of kyai adnan, kyai adnan, he said that God will give us what we need, not what we ask for. So may the fig be what you need. Yusuf used to want a beautiful woman, her height, clever, clever, but Allah gave complete fara”. “But the deck, do you not want to see it first, is not Rosulullah also recommends to see the woman to be married.” The mba dewi. “Not mba, insha Allah yusuf already sreg with fara, will yusuf make an advantage in the self what he lacks. And hopefully the shortcomings that exist in yusuf can be in ma’lumi by fara, because we want to complement each other, and be able to cover the shortcomings that exist in us with both our shortcomings and advantages, both of us, please pray brother, mba.” “insya Allah we always pray for you dek”. Mba the goddess whose notes are nice people easily cry at once without her power she cries, while hugging her in-laws, mrs zainab.

Preparations were finished, it was time for them to go to the house of the fara, not many who came because it was very sudden, but the plan of his mother yusuf after the agreement was over, about a week later they will have a wedding reception at their home, the purpose of which is to broadcast and introduce Yusuf's wife to relatives and neighbors. But Adam refused to do so because it would only embarrass their family, who had a disabled son-in-law. Not with the goddess mba, she was fully supportive of her mother-in-law's plans on the grounds that they would not talk about their family later on, quite the day of the reception.

And they had come to the house of fara which was next to the house of kyai adnan, seen from the front of the crowd in the crowd, even this was beyond suspicion of joseph, especially in the eyes of his family. About two thousand people crowded the courtyard of the mosque which is also the courtyard of the house of farad an kyai adnan, ten groups of tambourines have lined up from the front yard to the mosque chanting sholawat the sign of the bridegroom has arrived, everyone stood glued to one face - Yusuf, the lucky man who had kyai adnan's niece. Arriving in the mosque with in the damping kak adam, in front of the mihrob there is a table wrapped in a white table cover, on which there is a quran, everyone was silent while waiting for kyai adnan as guardian yet arrived. While in the house of fara many women who are preparing food for walimatul ‘arsy, while in the room fara is dandani same budenya who is none other than the wife nyai bu of kyai adnan, who is the wife of kyai, the one called Sharifah.

And in the mosque the marriage contract was started because kyai adnan had arrived on the spot. “Are you ready suf?” “Insya Allah is ready kyai” replied yusuf calmly. The show went well, there were no obstacles. The wedding sermon that is conveyed is also hidmah and affects the hearts of invited guests. So also in the heart of joseph because there is a verse of the Quran recited, the point is that a husband will be a dress for his wife is to protect women from slander, from eyes that are not his right, and guard his honor. A wife also becomes a dress for her husband. And do not miss God told his servant (husband) to come to his wife and grow crops in each field well, of course, have a good purpose and purpose as well. May God bring them together to be better. Amens…

The Hutbah is finished, now is the time for the bride and the son to meet, joseph to the house of the pharaoh with in the gandeng kyai adnan. On the way to the house of the pharaoh, Kyai whispered something into the ear of joseph “suf, I tipped fara, please take care of him not because he is my nephew, but take care of him because of God, accept his shortcomings, thank God for the advantages, he said, he is weak need hands to take care of him, he is small need a strong body to take him.” “iya kyai, hopefully yusuf can bring this trust, please pray for us and our grandchildren later.”

And there came Joseph and kyai in the vestibule, this was a thrilling moment in which Joseph would see for himself that his wife was completely deformed, in the heart of Joseph only one how the mother felt after seeing her son-in-law earlier, whether his mother was okay, where she and her mother were, and what happened, this was beyond human control, her mother holding an angel from the living room descending from heaven, in silence, Joseph asked himself again, “who is in the hand of the mother, why is the mother smiling, is she my wife? Ah that is impossible, said my wife Kyai is completely disabled, while she is complete, why mba goddess also smile, what is this.” Still In her daydream, suddenly her mother greeted Yusuf “My son, this is your wife Fatimah azzahro, and this fara your husband look and kiss her hand.” Slowly but surely fara saw her husband with the accompaniment of a sincere smile. On the other hand, the heart of Joseph beats very hard even if in the loudspeaker you can hear it. When Fara reached out her hand to shake hands suddenly “maaf... I cannot, because Fatimah azzahro my wife is completely disabled, she is blind, she is also stuttering, from her stuttering that her ears are not working, she is blind, she also paralyzed her legs, so this is not my wife”. Everyone smiled at the words of Joseph, including fara herself. Kyai then explains that fara is indeed disabled, he blinds his eyes from things that are not in the Ridhoi of Allah, he stutters from useless talk, he stutters from useless talk, she is also deaf from listening to the thing that can burn her ears in hell, she is paralyzed from the step towards the place of maksiat. “yusuf this is your wife, Fatimah az zahro that you need it” said kyai adnan. Everyone smiled happily, and fara greeted and kissed Yusuf's hand while greeting “Assalamualaikum mas yusuf...” “Waalakumsalam mba fara..”. like a burden has fallen out along with its roots that is what Yusuf feels when his skin touches the halal for him.

Happiness has been with their days, in the house of Joseph has been held a wedding reception as a sign of their gratitude to the creator who has given a thousand pleasures to human beings, it was not enough to say Alhamdulillah and the reception was appealed to the pleasure that had been bestowed.

Beautiful days belong only to Joseph and Fara, there are no boring days for this couple. The gloomy and dull day belonged only to those who were not yet good at gratitude, one night when all had closed their eyes Joseph woke up from his sleep suddenly, automatically fara startled and asked “What is mas...?” “Nothing mba, I just remembered earlier I gave a study to mothers about the verse 223 surat al baqoroh, al, I am afraid that I am among the servants who have not practiced it” replied Yusuf tensely, so that even fara was tense. In her heart, she smiled amusedly at her husband's words, but she would follow her husband's game by pretending not to understand. “Indeed the verse explains what mas so that you are frightened like this?” then Yusuf explained the content of the verse so that the atmosphere became calm immediately, as a wife sholeha again clever to understand the obligations and rights, the mucodimah has run smoothly, indeed, during being a newlywed, the two have never given each other shodakoh because it is hindered by menstruation. But that night the figs were sacred, so they would sail towards the island that everyone said was the most beautiful island in this world. “Mas... I can make a request before we shodakoi” “Of course my hindus areu, you are my treasure so I will fulfill as long as I am able” “Please call me ade’ do not mba’, I will not, because from small I have never been called ade’” “only it is your request ade’ku dear” “iya mas..” smiles both expand simultaneously, and their views collide, and their views are mutual, the view that has been covered by HIS spirit, then the view is ABSOLUTELY theirs, may Allah give more favors because of their gratitude. Amens…
