PREMARITAL

Accompany Me to Reach the Top

Today Sakha and Shara decide to talk about their plans to move house, Sakha is completely convinced by her decision.

"Dek. let's meet Abi and Umi," Sakha invited to his wife who had just finished with her activities.

Shara nodded obediently, she followed her husband's footsteps from behind. It was hard for her to leave her parents behind, but she was aware of a wife's obedience to her husband.

The two of them had now stood before Shara's parents, nervous as they both began to make their point.

"Come, Umi. There's something we want to talk about" Sakha said politely.

"What'sthis? Sit down" said Abi Fadlan.

Sakha and Shara now sit next to each other facing their parents.

"Speak, can Abi help you?" ask Abi.

"Look, I want to invite Shara to move. We want to learn independently," Sakha said with confidence.

Shara's parents exchanged glances, and the son-in-law's decision surprised them.

"Why all of a sudden, Kha?" ask Umi Merry.

"In fact, this is not sudden. We've talked about it before" Sakha said.

Umi Merry looked at her daughter, she felt sad if she had to part with Shara. But it is undeniable, the obligation of a wife is to obey her husband. That's what Shara had to do.

*One time, in a story from Anas bin Malik RA told—some hadith experts call the sanadnya weak—, when friends travel for jihad, when friends travel for jihad, he asked his wife not to leave the house until he returned from the holy mission. At the same time, your father's wife is ill. Having promised obedience to the husband's order, the wife did not dare to visit her father. 

Feeling a moral burden to his parents, he sent someone to ask the Prophet. He replied, “Obey your husband.” Until the father met his death and was buried, he also did not dare to visit. For the second time, he asked about his condition to the Prophet SAW. The same answer he got from the Prophet, “Obey your husband.” For how long, the Prophet sent a messenger to the wife to tell her that Allah has forgiven her father's sins thanks to his obedience to the husband*. 

Umi Merry was pensive, and immediately regained consciousness from the clap on the shoulder given by her husband.

"Umi, why daydream?" ask Abi Fadlan.

Umi Merry smiled softly, he rubbed his eyes that had pooled clear water in it.

"Umi is only sad if you have to stay away from Ara," said Umi.

Shara was touched, she walked half-bending towards her Umi front.

"Umi, Ara will often visit Umi as well as Abi. Sakha will definitely not mind," Shara said as she glanced at her husband.

"Truely Umi, we will try to regularly visit Umi and Abi. We just want to live our household nosedives independently, feeling the joy of his suffering in married life." Sakha tried to convince her mother-in-law.

"Yes already, all right. When are you guys moving out?" ask Umi.

"Quickly, Akha will find a rented house first." Sakha.

"Let Umi try to ask a friend, it looks like someone has a pretty good rental house," suggested Umi Merry.

"Umi, no need. Let them do it alone, we just pray." Abi Fadlan suggested.

"But Abi, what's wrong if Umi helps find a place to stay? Let Umi ask friends and Umi can also pay her face money," said Umi Merry.

"Mi, Abi said no. Let them learn independently," Abi Fadlan chuckled with his stance.

"Truely Umi, let it be Sakha's responsibility." Sakha added.

"But, have you prepared the provisions to live separately with Umi?" ask Umi Merry.

Sakha momentarily fell silent, "Akha can sell the car for our initial capital," he said.

Shara was a little surprised, because she had just heard that Sakha intended to sell the car from her husband first.

"Mas, that's your hard-earned car." Shara.

Sakha looked into his wife's eyes, trying to convince Shara to agree with his decision.

"Just trust me" said Sakha.

Shara nodded, her eyes looking at Sakha's eyes that looked confident.

"I leave everything to Mas" said Shara.

Sakha smiles in relief, she is grateful to have a wife who trusts her.

"Oh yes, one more thing we want to tell Umi and Abi" Sakha said.

"What is that, Kha?" ask Abi.

"Alhamdulillah, Ara are you pregnant?" asked Umi Merry enthusiastically.

Shara nodded with a happy smile, her Umi immediately rushed to hug her only daughter who would soon become a mother.

"God is safe, son."

Both of his parents were so happy.

"You're young pregnant now, then why did you move house?" asked Umi with a slightly disappointed feeling.

"Umi, Ara will be fine. God willing, Sakha Mas will be on standby to guard Ara. Right, Mas?" ask Shara.

"True Umi, Abi. Sakha will be a smart husband to take care of Shara and our future child" Sakha said.

"Emm, okay. Umi entrusts Shara and Umi's future grandchildren to you" said Umi Merry.

"Thank you, Umi, Abi."

The family is dissolved in happiness, it seems perfect if in a family there is mutual respect in any case.

Today Sakha went to a place to sell cars, she has decided to sell her car. It was not that he had no savings, it was just that he really wanted to pioneer everything from scratch.

Sakha is seen shaking hands with a person who received his car, he is also seen handing over the completeness letter along with his car keys.

"Thank you, sir."

Sakha passed by leaving the place, at the end of the road Sakha was waiting for public transportation to return home.

"Bismillah, may Allah's blessings be upon my little family" said Sakha.

A public transport car stopped, Sakha quickly got into it. This is not the first time he uses public transportation, during college Sakha also often uses angkot to go and go home from college.

Upon arrival at the intersection of the road to her in-laws' home complex, Sakha must have to walk to get to her destination.

The sweat now appeared on his forehead, he rubbed his sweat using the back of his hand.

"May my fatigue be a blessing" he said in his heart.

Shara is waiting for her husband in front of the gate of her house, she is worried because Sakha has passed the time she mentioned.

From a distance looked a man he knew very well, his eyes suddenly felt sore. The clear water now piled on her eyes, she felt pity because the husband had to walk to get to her house.

Shara walked closer to Sakha who was now about five meters ahead of her, she approached with a feeling of sadness.

"Mas, are you on foot?" ask Shara.

"Your memory" she added while gently rubbing her husband's forehead.

"Yes, while playing Deck." Sakha answered lightly.

"Why not go online?" ask Shara.

Sakha smiled faintly, "i want to be more grateful to enjoy the wonderful pleasure of walking that God gave me" said Sakha.

Shara was filled to hear the husband's answer, but her sense of compassion never disappeared.

"Sir, walk beside me. We knit our story from the beginning, accompany Mas to fight from the bottom to reach the top."

Shara grabbed her husband's hand, lovingly staring into the face of the man she loved so much.

"Take me wherever you go, Mom. I will always be there for you" Shara said.

"Thank you, may Allah make me an angel in heaven" said Sakha.

"Aamiin," Shara replied.

No matter what the path, never think of giving up. Because you will never know what awaits you at the end of the road.

Let's fight together...
