My Love is Blocked by the Holy Promise

Chapters. 4. Wedding Preparation

(POV) Dewanta

The wedding day for Fatimah and I was getting closer. Today I was accompanied by my mother to go to the market. We plan to buy equipment for delivery.

"Mother.quick mom," I shouted to mom, it's been an hour I've been waiting in the car. But my mother did not come too. Tired of waiting I finally entered the house, I checked my mother's room but she was not in the room, I went to the kitchen, in the kitchen she was not there.

"Let's find out if you're pacing Dewanta, it's like a scourge," asked the father who suddenly appeared from the living room.

"Which mother, we wanted to go to the market, but God waited in the car, but mother did not come" I asked my father.

"So your mother went to the bathroom again BAB, lived longer than her son," replied the father, pointing to the mother who had just come out of the bathroom. I saw my mother's hand rubbing her stomach.

"Mother mules mostly eat jengkol," replied the mother relaxed.

After my mother entered the car I immediately drove my father's car to the market near the Camat office.

Until the market, the first place we went was a jewelry store. I bought a beautiful set of jewelry consisting of necklaces, bracelets and earrings, I also bought a pair of wedding rings.

After finishing buying jewelry we continued to ketoko clothes.

In the mother's clothing store that is more dominant choose the needs of prayer such as a set of prayer tools, some Muslim clothing stels, women's underwear, shoes, sandals and others.

Then we continued to make up shop, I bought a package of makeup tools that are usually used Fatimah. I happened to send a message asking what makeup she used to wear. After the goods have been purchased everything. I immediately transported the goods to the car.

While the mother bought vegetables, after all the goods entered the car. I'm back after mom to the vegetable area. It turns out that the mother had bought some plastic bags of vegetables, large in size. I grabbed him and put him back in the car.

When I went back to see my mother, I was going to the meat area because she told me to go back there. I went back through the vegetable area.

"uncle..paman.... A tall, fat, dark-skinned mother called me with a sack of vegetables next to her.

"Uncle let's bring the vegetables," said the fat mothers," As I fell silent, but I soon understood what the fat woman meant.

"Sorry ma'am, I am not a porters carrying goods here," I explained.

"You are a coolie do not doubt, use picky work, if no one tells you to know the taste, so unemployment, you are asking for how much money. Be calm no matter how much you ask me to pay, you think I can't pay," the mother continued to be angry, she didn't believe all my explanations at all.

For a moment I thought, if I keep pushing. Then it will take a long time. Kasian mom is waiting.

"Where should I bring mother's stuff," I said for a moment.

"Yes, from the cake, do not have to be picky, please lift my goods to the black pick-up," said the fat mom while pointing her index finger towards a black pick-up car.

" I immediately lifted, it felt heavy, but I poured my strength until sweat poured down my clothes. With a limp step I carried the vegetables. After arriving at the black pick up car, I immediately raised the vegetables above the car tub. I saw the fat mothers following me in the back.

"It's mom, it's mom's stuff," I immediately passed away leaving the fat mothers.

"This is uncle's payment" the fat mothers handed over twenty thousand bills.

"No need ma'am, I told you that I'm not a coolie" I said as I passed away leaving the fat mothers who were flabbergasted to keep looking at me.

"Once you've been crying," I replied, I immediately told you what I had just experienced, mother laughed back and forth at my story. As mom laughed back and forth, I saw the figure of a shady-eyed woman who would soon be my life companion accompanying her mother shopping. It feels tired that I feel after carrying vegetables one sack is now gone already.

" Mommy.bu is Zahra" I said, patting her on the shoulder. Mom immediately stopped laughing and stepped closer to Zahra and her mother.

"Mother Markonah is shopping!!" my mom said say hello to Zahra's mom and then they shook hands. Zahra immediately greeted my mother and kissed the back of her hand. I immediately greeted my future-in-law and kissed the back of her hand just like Zahra did. Zahra looked at me and cupped her hands together in the chest, but I only responded with a flat face. Zahra immediately set her eyes in another direction. I immediately pulled the tip of her veil until she looked at me. I gave her the sweetest smile I had. But Zahra just pinched her lips and turned her gaze back to the other direction.

"Let's buy Markonah I live first, because it's been on the market for a long time and has finished shopping. Kasian God's father waited too long at home," said my mother.

"Please Bu Wajirah, no need to hesitate, because I just came," replied Markonah's mother. We soon left them. Before I left, I looked at Zahra. Suddenly Zahra threw me with a red onion she took from her shopping cart. I just blinked one eye and left without even looking. At home my father welcomed us to help bring down and bring our groceries into the house.

"Bu sulur orders father's mother bought it," asked the father.

"It's well, soon mom cook for vegetables lunch later. Ibu also buy iwak wadi favorite of father, just calm down, today we eat good, vegetable sulur same iwak wadi.

I immediately took a shower because it felt like my body was so sticky. It turns out that shopping activities are quite energy draining. One by one the wedding preparations were completed. The wedding and the reception will be held at Zahra's house. All kinds of dishes and dishes, cakes are cooked by local mothers in gotong royong. It has become a tradition in our village.

While the decorations and bridal clothes to the wedding fairies we leave it to mba Santi who has business in that field.

All the wedding files have also been entered into the KUA office and everything is also in order.

H minus three, all the villagers of Padang Gatah flocked to Zahra's house to help all needs such as cooking rice, side dishes, vegetables and a variety of cakes. It is also a tradition in this village.

While Zahra and I were at home, we couldn't meet let alone travel together ahead of the wedding.

Today some of my family came from some areas. They are the brothers of father and mother, there are also some cousins.

This afternoon my cousins and I were chatting after a long time without seeing each other because of our busy lives.

"Your god is dating Fira, I want to be betrothed by your father to Zahra, if I don't want to try to think that Fira is beautiful, classy, elegant already so rich, so I'm not happy, his parents are out of the country, remember brooo, rich!!, while Zahra is just a PAUD teacher, how much is his salary. Far when compared to Fira, his face is also mediocre. Not understanding me with the mindset of you and your father, what try the advantages of Zahra, in addition to the size of her dress and the wide hijab," said Dito cousin me while shaking his head. I smiled at Dito's words.

"Broo, do not equate to looking for a wife with looking for money, if you want a lot of money you have to work hard. In finding a wife there are many things to consider. The wife is the mother-to-be of our children, so she must have good manners in order to later decline in our children. He must be able to educate our descendants, he must be able to accept us as we are. He must be able to understand us and many others.

Marriage is not just the union of two hearts that love each other but the union of two large families that may be different cultures, different habits

So the blessing of the old man is very important to make the household heresy more sturdy. Because we are married not only for a month two months but for the rest of our age, God willing.

In the long time we live, many twists and turns we go through, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes sick, sometimes healthy, sometimes economic uphill, sometimes also downhill. So we need a faithful companion in any circumstance and in any case. Remember bro... Life is not just money and money. Our lives are only for a moment, so do not waste it just to be a slave of treasure.

We live in the world to find provisions for the future deacherat by continuing to spread goodness.

As a man if I marry later I will carry out my duties as a husband to support an inner born wife, loving wholeheartedly, remaining faithful even under any circumstances with or without love," I said long and wide.

"Wrap me bro with your thoughts, it's inspiring, you seem to be ready for marriage" said Dito, patting me on the shoulder.

Let our children gather all in the guest room, we eat together, it's grilled catfish, acid fish, roasted haruan there is also balacan sauce," said the mother called us all. We all ate in the guest room.
