I opened my eyes after the alarm from the phone rang. I saw and it was not from my phone but from the mobile phone mas Tama. But the one with the cell phone is not in this room. Maybe he woke up first.
I woke up and tried to turn off the alarm that had shown at 5 o'clock late because along with the morning sound alarm was reverberating by inserting a pin that had been told to Tama mas last night. Then I poured water on the glass on the dresser. After that, I made my bed.
Suddenly mas tama entered is complete with gloves and white Koko clothes.
"Have you woken up?" I asked without seeing who was spoken to because I was still busy tidying up the slightly tangled sheets at the end of the mattress.
"Yes, I deliberately didn't wake you up. You sleep very soundly" Mas Tama then look for something among the souvenir items brought by the bridal party yesterday.
"Search what?" ask me because some items were dropped by Tama among the pile of shipping boxes at the end of our bed.
"Delivery box containing mukena. Here comes..." Then Mas Tama sat on the bed and opened the city made of wood and covered by glass and there is a pink ribbon.
"Ran, later pray using this mukenah only yes" pinta mas Tama after removing the white face with green lace tosca and put it on the dressing table.
"Darling mas is still new, after all the ones in the mosque are still new and good" I'm done with the bed sheet business finally saw the mukena given to me as the contents of the shipping box.
"Okay, we'll compare that to the face you're wearing"
I took the hijab I hung behind the door and put it on and looked for the shirt and hijab inside the 3-door closet next to the entrance. Usually I change clothes after bathing must be in the room and from yesterday it was not done. I changed my clothes in the bathroom. And I saw something similar done by Mas Tama.
"Mas, about yesterday why was I told to wudhu again? Instead of being told again yesterday I forgot to ask the same mas" I held my step out of the room because I remembered yesterday when going to pray ashar mas Tama asking me to clean my face first and return.
"Owh that's..here sit here" mas Tama patted the mattress next to him.
I followed what Tama asked. I sat next to him. Waiting for what will be explained by the man who has become my husband is so a figure that is quite unique. his daily life will use a shirt or shirt and jeans but only one day I became his wife looks that she has more understanding of religion. While I who is not a graduate of Islamic school or santri do not really understand even though I pray but it is still often perplexed but if at home then my mother is the best alarm so that 5 time won't be missed.
Mas Tama was seen taking tape from the drawer and cutting it and then sticking it on my wrist and the back of my hand. I was confused and also again made pounding by his treatment but I did not want to ask because I believe there is an explanation that he will convey.
"Member this has been issued by the factory with a halal certificate and can be used for prayer because it is not exposed to feces. now I ask you think the concept of ablution is an example of the hand and face that we wipe or wash?"
I frowned and raised my eyebrows thinking for a moment.
"It seems that if it's not wrong we washed the mas"
"To wash the concept, it means that water must flow. When washing hands, water must flow. The question again is whether the flowing water was able to hit or flow the hand or face covered by this tape?"
"It's certainly not because he's made of plastic and stuck to our skin" I answered spontaneously while looking at the tape on my hand.
"Then we must remove the tape first, not. So that the ablution water can flow the parts that must be purified or exposed to water ablution.Betul?"
"Well this tape is the same as cosmetics that are often used by women who say it is waterproof or waterproof if not wrong. So for women who use thick or waterproof cosmetics must first clean from the objects so as not to block the water ablution purify the parts of the body that must be washed. Such as can not use water then must use a special make up cleanser. Or Eyebrows that have been rubbed with a cleanser and eyebrows still look black. Make sure all that's left is the color. There was no more cosmetic stuff on the eyebrows. Other examples such as cet stain scars are the same, not just cosmetics. Mas learned this when mas High School and mas learned to tap rubber when finished Friday mas teacher Kyai Furqon reminded mas because there is still rubber rubber rubber that sticks in the hands and nails and then mas santri kalong in kyai Furqon cottage"
"Santri kalong???" ask me curious.
"Santri Kalong is a cottage santri who comes from residents around the pesantren but does not settle in the dormitory. They only take part in pesantren activities at night. During the day they go home."
I nodded my headmaster understanding the explanation mas Tama.
"Back to the discussion of wudhu earlier mas. Then what about turmeric mas? or handbody?"
"Ehm.... Now I ask you what kind of turmeric stain on your hand is that thing or color?"
"Ehmmm... color may be mas yes?"
"Yes right. if the powder, cuttings, eyebrows, woats..it is an object there is a form that sticks while the turmeric that sticks in the hand is color. And the color did it stop the water from hitting the body parts for ablution just like this tape?" Mas Tama pulled the tape that he had placed on the back of my hand.
"Regarding mas"
"Means that while the color attached to the body part that must be washed does not change the color, smell and taste of the water itself, it does not matter if it is still attached it is still legitimate. Except for example, using a very large handbody then when we wudhu water had turned white or the water had become fragrant because it was exposed to the handbody then we must wash the former handbody first new wudu"
"Then how about ink when coblosan mas?"
"The concept is the same as turmeric earlier that there is nothing left only the color is not it? It will be better to clean and if it has been cleaned still leave the color is fine while not blocking the water to drain the body part earlier. And it won't turn the water into an ink-like stain or an ink-smelling"
"Then if if we abudhu and just use waterproof cosmetics earlier means allowed mas?"
"May as long as the cosmetics are guaranteed. Not now many already have halal certificates".
I must have heard Tama's explanation. I don't know the language is easy to understand and I admit I'm not a person who often participates in studies or religious science assemblies.
"It's obvious?" ask me Tama.
"Yes, I took a shower first"
I just want to take a shower. Back my husband made me lose in a landslide continue to be teased by him.
"Don't forget the shampoo because in the kitchen was a lot of mbokde and buk le mu. Instead of them thinking about why the newlyweds in the first morning did not shampoo.....At least we don't make them boast about us with shampooing capital this morning" And with a sinless face, Tama stood right in front of me and smiled as she walked out of the room justifying her position on the head.
One day and one night I was made to flutter with his teasing. Whether every newlywed is going through this or just me... Ah.... I hope that love will come quickly so that I am not confused like this. The love? Enchanted yet? Only You who turn your heart back know, Lord....
