My Ottoman Girl

Mahar Izza

Izza tells Zein to call her again after arriving at ruminis.Because he does not want if Zein does not concentrate on the highway, it can be dangerous. Zein relented and immediately spurred the speed of his vehicle but with high vigilance to survive until the destination.

After 30 minutes, Zein arrived home and began to clean his body because he wanted to rest immediately so he could call his future wife.

"Assalamu'alaikum Dek, Mas has arrived home, is it sleepy yet? " question Zein while making a video call while leaning her body on the head board of her bed.

"Waalaikim salam, Adek not sleepy Mas, was Mas want to say what? " Izza sat leaning back on the head board of her bed.

" She wants to ask for what dowry? earlier Mas forgot to ask because he was confused see father hehehe" he replied.

Izza smiled with a sad look. Actually, not only his father who feels sad must be his brother and mother are also sad if he separated from the house and the warmth of this family.

" She why is sad too? Mas so sad, sorry if our togetherness will make you sad because of parting with family" Zein understood the contents of his future wife's heart.

"If you do not want to stay with Mas in the official house, yes gapapa later we stay at the house of Dad only. " Because he did not want to make his future wife moody Zein finally decided the thing that made him uncomfortable.

Izza rubbed her wet eyes and suddenly she became moved and wanted to cry in Zein's arms but she never held hands so it was all just her wishful thinking.

" No, don't sacrifice yourself like that. Whatever happens I will go wherever Mas goes because his wife's paradise lies in her husband's ridho. "

Zein was moved to hear the youngest words from Mr. Birendra, although still young but he could behave and think mature. Zein loved Izza more and promised not to make the girl regret marrying him. And he will make the soulmate happy with all his might.

"Reply back to the original question. What dowry does Mas Zein want? do not hesitate yes" Because do not want to drag on with the sadness of his future wife, the man offers another dowry of choice for her.

The little girl who from childhood until now never lacked anything was confused about his own dowry. Though Zein had prepared a sizable saving money to give the girl dowry. He does not want to demean his future wife with a cheap Mahar but he does not want to be too excessive because God does not like people who are too excessive.

" It's up to Mas Zein, but if it can't be burdensome Mas. And it can be beneficial for our future "he replied diplomatically.

Zein requires her head not to itch. Then he fell silent and finally he gave Izza a choice.

"Mas wants to show you something."

Izza was curious to see Zein moving towards the closet in the room. He opened the closet door and looked for something under his pile of clothes.

Before long Zein had returned to the living room and sat down in front of his phone that had been placed on the table.

Zein showed me a savings book from a bank that was blue.

" There are special savings to prepare to buy Mahar. Do you want to be a thing or nominal money? " he asked slowly there was a sense of shame to say it because he knew the Birendra family wealth was not comparable to his personal savings.

The pink-hooded girl flashed a shy smile. He recalled a hadith from "Rasulullah SAW once said, "Both women are the cheapest dowry." (CHR. Ahmad, Ibn Hibban, Hakim & Baihaqi).

She did not want to burden her future husband who had just pioneered his career in the Capital because he also understood Zein as the eldest son was also responsible for his family in the village. She should not be selfish by asking for expensive dowry and draining the pockets of her future husband.

" Well, Mas will provide savings of fifty million rupiah for Mahar and a set of gold jewelry weighing 25 grams, does adek agree? "

The girl heard the Mahar that Zein was going to give her. He felt too much so he was a bit hesitant to agree to the handsome doctor's request.

"Is not it too much? While Adek knows Mas must have a lot of needs for Mom and Dad at home. "

How touched his Al Azhar graduate doctor was to hear the noble heart of the lover who will soon be halted. He did not expect Izza who was the son of a rich man was so considerate and had empathy for others who had not become his family.

" Masha Allah did not choose the same Mas you deck, already beautiful face is also beautiful. How lucky they are to have you. But take it easy, for Father and Mother at home and the needs of Mas's sisters already have their own savings. And Mas's parents already know the dowry that Mas will give you this. He even felt bad when Mas said he only gave Mahar like that to the daughter of Pak Birendra, the number one businessman in the Capital"

Izza's face was getting red to hear her husband's praise and she prayed that her morality was really good and could be the wife of the future sholihah of her husband's paradise.

"Alhamdulillah if Mas has reserved the rights for Father and Mother and sisters. Because Adek does not want to enjoy the results of Mas's own hard work even though Mas's parents are more entitled to be happy first as a devotee of Mas because he has educated and given sincere affection so that Mas can be a doctor like this" he replied with a cheerful face.

After discussing the matter of dowry for the terms of their marriage, Zein ended their conversation with a relieved heart and was now able to sleep well. Tomorrow we can work quietly.

The night is getting late and the air temperature has started to fall, the sound of the clock bells on the wall has rang 1x the sign of the morning has arrived and the body figure that has just laid his body on the soft bed inside the official house was seen sleeping in the dream house.

-----***-----

At the Birendra residence, a father who will soon release his favorite girl looks still restless on his soft bed that is king size. From 22:00 earlier he had laid his aging body on the bed but his eyes could not sleep a bit.

On his left, the wife had fallen asleep and her snoring began to sound. It was as if flashbacks guided her memory to the youngest daughter's childhood.

"Dad, later I don't want to get married when I grow up, "he said, cuddling his neck when he came home from the office.

Pak Birendra's attention was immediately diverted towards his favorite daughter. He was surprised that the boy who was still on the bench of kindergarten had talked about marriage.

"Why not get married? " ask her while continuing to hold the little guy.

"Later if you get married, surely Daddy same mom will cry '

The more curious the father heard the youngest's innocent answer.

" Why Daddy mommy can cry why deck? "

Little Izza was silent for a moment as if thinking about something then she started chattering again "Yes like Aunt Luna when she married Om Trio, Grandpa and Grandma cried when Om Trio took Aunt Luna away from home. "

At once Mr. Birendra's smile broke when he heard the girl's innocent answer. He recalled the time his cousin got married a while ago and they decided to occupy the sweat house themselves, Om and his aunt are very sad because he let his daughter go to occupy a new house.

In her mind at that time, surely someday she will feel heavy when releasing her daughter into the hands of another man who became her husband. And another month that time will come. Will he let go of his beloved little one? Is not he selfish if he wants a lot and his son-in-law still lives with them here while the daughter-in-law has his own house.
