Melati At The End of Hope

Dio's wedding day

Episode 39's

Fragrant as jasmine, decorating the bun of a Muslim bride, in a distinctive white dress, a girl wearing a jasmine crotch as a decoration, on her head wrapped in hijab.

"Beautiful as the man." Says a bride-to-be who dresses flowers.

Flowers just smile with teary eyes.

While from another room was heard, the voice of the groom who was saying a promise to take great responsibility, by marrying the daughter of a father.

The sacred promise of marriage, which he spoke, was not merely witnessed by humans, but the angels who were present witnessed.

The door of heaven opened through Arsy, so that any prayer would be easy until then.

"Well" said all the witnesses present.

Dio has now legally become the husband of Bunga, and takes over the role of his father, to guard, nurture, and nurture, and of course, being a priest and a leader who is able to take full responsibility for the promises he has made in the sacred bond of marriage.

"Barakallahu Laka Wa Baarakaa Alaika Wa Jamaa Bainakumaa Fii Khoir."

Meaning: “May Allah bless you in all things and unite you both in kindness.” (CHR. Abu Dawud, Ahmad, Tirmidhi).

The prayer was also chanted syahdu when the ijab qabul was finished.

And the long-awaited moment has arrived, where the bride is presented and united with the man who has been legally her husband.

There were no tears Dio kept dripping, wetting his cheeks. Sometimes he smiled in his tears, welcoming the heavenly angel whom he had now legitimately converted into his wife.

"O Allah, now my responsibility is growing, strengthen my shoulders, Lord, expand my sincerity, and extend my patience." Dio muttered in his mind.

The atmosphere filled the room, Dio touched the crown of the wife while praying according to the guidelines.

The first time their eyes met face to face, Flowers could not help but cry happily.

"Who you were before, I don't know much less about you. But now you're my wife, and I'm your husband." Dio said in his heart.

All the guests present were also washed away in the happy nuances full of the day.

"Congratulations, bro. Thank God, I'm not a sad boy anymore." Hendra hugged Dio.

"Thank you bro, next time be careful when you talk. Most of the time, it's true loe." Dio said as he returned the embrace of his best friend.

They laugh and bully each other.

"Surprise." Hendra.

Dio was shocked not to play, it turns out that there aunt and uncle Dio also attended to see the wedding. And there are other guests who are no less surprising Dio, namely Jamal and Chia who turned out to be part of the successful team for the wedding of Dio and Bunga.

As Dio's cries grew, Dio took comfort in the legs of his uncle and aunt while apologizing deeply.

"Auntie, uncle! Sorry Dio never told you. Dio felt a failure to be the pride of uncle and aunt." Said Dio while sniffling.

"Wake up son, don't say so dear. Uncle and aunt are so happy, even if it's just knowing you're okay." Said uncle.

"Nearly like the prophet Ya'qub who was blinded by the prolonged sorrow of the passing of the prophet Joseph, that is the state of aunty after you have left son." Said the aunt conveying her inner wound that was left by Dio at that time.

"But now, even the other aunt's illness is cured, watching you happy with your very good bride." continued the aunt as she rubbed the cheeks of Flowers, who had been listening to the drama of her husband's novelty with people who Dio had considered as his own biological parents.

Bunga greeted aunt and uncle Dio, but the aunt refused to shake hands, hugging Bunga tightly while kissing him like kissing a toddler.

"Be heaven to your husband and family." Said aunt lirih

Now it is Jamal and Chia's turn to congratulate the newlyweds.

Jamal hugged Dio, and Dio returned Jamal's embrace. While Chia hugged each other with Flowers.

"Sister Chia, thank you for helping all the flowers." The flower that still holds Chia.

"Same-sama is beautiful, so the wife who is a pious yes." Chia.

"I am happy for you and the Dio Flower, may you be able to carry this great trust well." Chia.

"On good prayers as well, I have now come to this point, thank you Chia, for you never hated me." Dio.

"Bro thank you so much again, I don't know what else to say." Dio said to Jamal.

Before becoming friends with Dio, it turns out Hendra was Jamal's best friend when Jamal lived in his pakdenya boarding school.

All this time Jamal had known that Dio was there, and with his sincerity to pay attention to Dio, Jamal had always exchanged news through Hendra and asked how Dio was doing.

As a fellow man who had fallen in love with the same woman, Chia who has now officially become Jamal's legal wife for almost a year.

Jamal understands how broken Dio's heart is, because Chia has made the choice to live with Jamal.

With all Jamal's knowledge about Dio's life story, apparently Jamal secretly continues to monitor Dio.

Then who's the Flower?

Bunga is the woman who was betrothed to Jamal, but Jamal rejected him because his heart had fallen on Chia.

Everything that happens in life is not a coincidence.

Even if it must be sick and wounded, all of it is determined by Him.

No problem is too great for God, when all affairs are returned to Him, of course with a moment of trouble that is difficult for humans, it will be very easy for God to make it okay.

"Bro, this is a small gift from me and my wife. Hope it's useful." Jamal handed me a box.

"Well, man, thanks again." Jamal said while receiving a small box that Jamal gave him.

It turns out that the contents are a motorcycle key, complete with STNK (Vehicle Number Sign Letter) and BPKB (Motor Vehicle Ownership Book ).

Of course Dio and the flowers are very happy to receive it.

The plan after this Dio and Bunga will stay in the boarding house for some time, as his devotion to the teacher, namely pakdenya Jamal or what they call Pak Kyai.

Without calculation, the cakes are available in a pickle, apparently prepared by Chia from Chia's own cake shop.

"Who is the favor of your Lord that you deny?" One proper sentence for God's unrelenting favor Dio and Flowers received.

With timid looks Dio and flowers threw each other a smile.

"Bro, this is from me. Don't look at it." Said Hendra giving a small parcel.

"Thank you bro, you're my best friend." Dio.

Two books, which contain fiqh marriage for men and women.

Regardless of the content of the gift that Hendra gave, which Dio obviously will receive with great pleasure and gratitude, considering that all this time, Hendra was always there to accompany the days of Dio.
