Quickie Marriages
QM 25's



Early in the day exactly at 3 o'clock past 20 minutes Arka woke up from


sleep soundly because there is a sense of turbulence from inside his stomach. Body


suddenly confused to get in front of the bathroom.


“Huekk Huekk Huekk.” Arka tried to pull out the contents inside


her stomach. Cold sweat begins to wet the forehead and neck. Him


normalize the pounding on his chest by sitting on the bathroom floor.


For twenty minutes normalizing the situation, Arka again struggled on the blanket.


Unstable conditions make Arka uncomfortable for


just lying. He moves here and there to find comfort. Abdominal


suddenly act back, he immediately ran to the bathroom to let out


what has broken.


“Astagfirullah, Mas why?” Farah massaged the nape of the


husband to launch the contents in the stomach that wants to come out. The worried face


of course it was Farah. He thought that Arka was exhausted so much so that


sleep becomes uncomfortable.


“No know deck, Stomach Mas hurts,” Shrink Arka. Him


hold on to the bathroom wall so as not to fall.


“Still want to vomit Mas?” Ask F directions with eyes already


glazed. He could not see the pale husband had no energy


even to hold his own body weight,


Holding his head which hurt Arka said


“It's I-“


“Huekk Huekk Huekk.” Arka vomits again before


finish saying.


“Mas,” great-grandson Farah was afraid. She was crying sobbing


because I could not bear to see the husband who was drowning under the floor.


“Do not cry, Mas is okay,” said Arka


ogre.  He held out his hand to


erasing the tears that flowed on Farah's cheek.


“Mas-“ Farah could not continue her speech anymore.


“Mas is okay baby, Let's go to sleep again,” said Arka


while struggling to stand up. Farah was quick to help her husband


to be the place to hold it. The weight of the body of the Ark that tends to be large is not


makes Farah object at all. After Arka laid her body, Farah


looking for eucalyptus oil to relieve a little pain in the stomach of the husband.


“So lunch What did you eat?” asked Farah while smearing


oil on sixpack Arka belly.


“Common kayak kok deck,” replied Arka. During the day Arka


will buy food near his daily goods store. At first Farah wanted to


delivering lunch or Arka who came home, unfortunately it is


not approved by Arka let alone knowing she was pregnant young. Household distance


Papa Arfan and Arka shop are quite far away, can travel 45 minutes


buying food is the right choice.


“Adek has often said not necessarily food outside it


suitable for Mas's stomach, just one week already a stomach ache like gini. Howsoever


for months or even years?” Arka knows that when a wife


angry eat enough silence and silence do not fight with various reasons because


“Why silent?”


“The anger sometime Yes, Mas stomach hurts.”


Farah let out a long breath, she was very easy


sensitive since pregnancy.


“Sorry Mas,” Og Farah.


Arka smiled at his wife, she knew that Farah


very worried. He also does not want stomach pain like this, but what can be done


if it happened.


The swipe Farah made on Arka's stomach suddenly


relieving the pain, he tried to close his eyes to rest


the self that is no longer powerful.


“Don't get sick again Mas, Adek fucked up if you see mas


weak gini,” whispered Farah. He peed at Arka's forehead long enough.


Early morning is no ordinary time. Farah is not


he used to pray at night but he also did not waste it


time when you wake up in the early hours.


Every human being wants to be close to their god


performing various services to get the love of God. Farah is still


studying in matters of religion, he did not come from a religious-savvy family.


During this time Farah only did five prayers, fasting is mandatory in the month


ramadan and other obligatory worship. The village where he lived for 17 years


it was very religious but Farah never came out of the house


except the important things like school, shopping, and buying what is in the


ask her family. After attending high school, he


also can not be free from various kinds of rules made by brother


own cousin. Be the science of religion that he got only from books


school library or just ask a religious teacher.


Maybe he will know if he has a Smartphone, yes maybe


unfortunately, he was not given the facility. He was fed and


drinking is so grateful.


 Farah started praying,


every reading he recalls was well-thought. He used to not know what it meant


the daily prayer he did, until there was the word of an ustadz


that made him realize that the importance of understanding the meaning of prayer reading.


Just imagine, we pray 17 rakaat a day but


we don't know what the reading means. How to pray


presenting the Khusukkan


but we don't understand what we read. Every prayer reading if in


contemplate then the cry can come out without excuse. Even reading prayer


iftah just so has a deep meaning, not to mention Al-fatihah and


othersmore. Masya Allah.


After performing the 2 rakaat prayers and praying, Farah opened the mushaf


and read the Qur’an very


good. When reading the Qur’an is indeed so many temptations, such as drowsiness,


lazy and so on. When temptation comes, fight it


as much as possible, never lose to the devil.
