The Pledge of Holy Promise

Monday morning mas Bagus permission not to enter service to his battalion corps, because that day mas Bagus though immediately take care of the permit from the village and also the religious affairs office as a requirement to complete the administrative letter of his marriage.

After a day of taking care of letters to the village and also the office of religious affairs to the religious court to get a certificate of widower, finally mas Bagus can breathe with relief. A certificate from the local village head office and from the religious court he found all, now mas Bagus just wait for the day until the time comes.

While Dewi who assisted his two men in the boutique he managed, also busy also preparing all the delivery equipment that will be brought by mas Bagus as a condition for the wedding. In addition to various cakes, Dewi also wrapped gifts containing a set of prayer tools, clothes, and other equipment.

The days of Bagus and Yuli are more beautiful because their wedding day is soon to come. Their love is a lot of twists and turns, but God's destiny finally brought them back to live together to build a household.

Mas Bagus is now ready to make a pledge of sacred promise to Yuli in front of the ruler and their wedding witnesses who live a few days away. Their love is now as eternal as the love of Qais and Laila which is legendary until the end of time. Although the trials and obstacles in the twists and turns of love that they had experienced were bitter, but all the bitterness that had existed, now seemed lost with a reunion that they had not expected before.

Towards nightfall mas Bagus again mentioned the name of his lover Yuli Astuti so that he could attend and incarnate in his dream. In the stillness of the night hugging the kangen and longing for some verse temples to Yuli the angel managed to reassemble it as a release of endless longing.

The night is getting late, but the eyes of Bagus seem difficult to be closed, while the mind and mind are increasingly floating not because of imagining the figure of Yuli the idol. For 2 years living alone as a widower does not feel good like a bird that is broken wings.

Now when mas Bagus was hit by longing for the figure of Yuli the future wife, pillow bolsters as his bedmate he hugged tightly back. "I love you Yuli," whispered the Nice mas while kissing the bolted pillow in an embrace.

Only the beautiful face of Yuli always plays in the delusion of Good mas, so she has difficulty sleeping at night. On the edge of the night finally drowsy approaching, making the eyes of Nice mas deep in sleep in the shadows Yuli who always accompany.

Towards dawn mas Bagus was built from sleep, while the name Yuli he called last night was not present also in the dream so that it made him miss him even more.

Thursday morning mas Bagus went to serve again in his battalion unit, that day he also applied for leave to his office for a period of several days for his wedding and honeymoon.

The commander and comrades in his staff unit smiled happily and congratulated him. “Welcome to live a new life mas Bagus, may be happy always.” they said as a smile that expands on the lips of commanders and existing friends.

“Thank you for the prayers of the commander and friends of all,” replied Mas Bagus with a smile also at the end of working hours when he was about to return to his home.

Although mas Bagus had been married and said ijab and qabul with his ex-wife (deceased Dina) first, now ahead of his marriage with Yuli, he also memorized the sentence of ijab and qabul, now before his marriage, so that at the wedding later he can recite it fluently in front of the penghulu and witnesses.

Two days later, the day they had been waiting for had now arrived, the time has come for mas Bagus to say the sacred promise of their marriage in front of relatives of two families who will witness the marriage of himself with Yuli the angel.

Saturday morning, mas Bagus and his family had left to go to the house of his parents Yuli with administrative letters and dowry equipment also because of their marriage. At nine o'clock in the morning now mas Bagus and Yuli sat together in front of the ruler and witnesses and family relatives.

Mas Joko and mas Irfan also mang Ali and kang Dori are now ready to be witnesses of their marriage. After the parents of Yuli (pak Zaenuri) as the marriage guardian handed over to the pak penghulu to marry Yuli with mas Bagus, then the sacred event of their marriage began.

The atmosphere in the house of Yuli where the ijab and qabul will be held felt so tense, so tense, the hearts of two relatives of the family dag-dig-dug when the start of the event of ijab and qabul which they will soon see.

After the Bagus mas twice practice demonstrating ijab and qabul, pak penghulu then started the ijab and qabul. Mr. Pengulu read the introductory sentence of marriage to arrive at the core sentence “I married my son named Yuli Astuti bint mr. Zainuri with Bagus Saputra bin father Adam with a dowry in the form of money of three million rupiah and a set of prayer tools paid in cash, I received marriage Yuli Astuti bint mr Zainuri for me with dowry paid in cash!” reply me Nice very firmly.

“Sah.” replied the four witnesses with a voice that is quite loud and compact.

Both of Yuli's eyes sparkled happily, as her heart pounded and sweet smile expanded, she then kissed the hand of the ideal husband. The goddess and photographer then capture the moment with a camera.

On that beautiful morning, Mas Bagus finally really made a sacred vow to Yuli in front of the ruler and the witnesses of their marriage.

“Alhamdulillah, with ijab and qabul that we have heard and witnessed together this morning, then from today, mbak Yuli Astuti is now officially the legal wife for mas Bagus saputra." said pak penghulu.

All the attendees at the house of Yuli who was originally tense, now after they watched the mas Bagus say the pledge of ijab and qabul smoothly, they also returned to breathe a sigh of relief because of the smooth and successful marriage they had witnessed together.

“For wedding prayer, I leave it to the village mudin sir as kaur kaur kesra village.” pak penghulu told pak mudin local village.

An hour later, attendees and family relatives resigned to return to their homes. Dewi is now driving a car owned by Mas Bagus to take back both parents and family relatives back to the village. Because for a while mas Bagus stayed at the house of Yuli's parents for a few days. Accompanied by Mas Joko and Irfan also other friends, mas Bagus was quite comfortable to enjoy the atmosphere of togetherness there.

While Bik Wati, Mang Ali and the closest relatives of Yuli's parents' family were still busy in the kitchen to prepare all the dishes for their wedding thanksgiving later tonight.

"You don't want to split duren mas, after all you guys are officially married." inward mas Joko.

“If we are too long here, what will not interfere with the rest time mas Bagus?” ask mas Joko while grinning to divert the shadow tickling in his imagination.

Mas Bagus, mas Irfan and other friends can only smile when they hear a question from Mas Joko accompanied by a small laugh.

“Don't ngaco ah mas Joko, this afternoon the bride's time will be clumsy,” said mas Irfan who was greeted with laughter by them.
