Accompanied by Yoga, Eza immediately visited religious figures who lived in the area of the former Eza house. Consult the problem he was having before taking him to the apartment to see the state of Alita.
"So Eza's son is getting married again? it's not law. I just heard this." Mr. Syarief, a religious figure and also a public figure who is famous in the area where Eza used to live.
"I did marry secretly, sir. No one knows, not even my parents know." Eza answered the question straightforwardly and as is.
"Owh, married siri huh?" Ask Mr. Syarief while nodding small.
"Married the contract, sir." Answer Eza straighten out.
"Astaghfirullah, contract marriage?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Eza then recounts everything from the beginning, starting from his separation with Nikita until he meets Alita and marries the contract. There was nothing Eza covered up, the man said honestly and as is.
"Who was the guardian of the marriage when you were married?" Ask Mr. Syarief again.
"Kang Eman, he's Alita's father's brother because Alita is an orphan. The marriage contract was attended only by the guardian and the witness, nothing else. And yes, is my marriage legal sir?"
Mr. Sharif examined Eza's story, digesting every sentence he heard. There is nothing wrong with the marriage, because the marriage can actually take place if there is a bride and groom, then guardians and witnesses. But what is wrong is that marriage is only a contract that will end with a predetermined deadline, and such marriage is illegal.
"When Nak Eza said 'I accept the marriage' the marriage was legal and the responsibility of the girl was automatically transferred to Nak Eza. You're already tied up as husband and wife. But marriage can turn into haram when the marriage actually has another purpose, the marriage is worship and not something that can be considered as a joke and can be played at will. Because when the kabul ijab happened, God also witnessed when Nak Eza said the sacred pledge."
"But I won't divorce my wife after the contract ends, I just want to marry her officially and make her a real wife."
Mr. Sharif just nodded, understanding what Eza wanted. "Your marriage yesterday is actually valid because the guardian of the girl is the family of the father, but it would be nice if your marriage is perfected to be more sacred and also solemn. To be a family that is sakinah mawadah and warahmah." Mr. Syafif smiled sincerely while patting Eza on the shoulder.
"God willing, sir. I am trying to formalize our marriage. But before achieving that, I also had to struggle with things I didn't expect at all."
"Don't be afraid, son. Good intentions will surely bear good fruit. God willing, everything will be as good and as it should be."
"Read Bismillah and drink this water, rub it also on your face, tubers and stomach. Pray to God that with this water your sickness will be healed." With his hand still turning the prayer beads, Sharif gave Alita a glass of water, then asked Eza to help the girl do what she had just said.
"Bismillah yes, dear. God willing, everything will be fine." Eza thrust the water, asking Alita to drink it and then do the next steps. Putting the water on some parts of Alita's body while chanting the do'a.
After drinking water prayed by Mr. Sharif, Alita immediately fell asleep. The girl seemed to give a reaction that she had improved. Makes Eza a little able to breathe a sigh of relief even though there is still something stuck in his chest.
"My wife immediately fell asleep, sir." said Eza while approaching Pak Sharif and Yoga who had sat in the living room.
"Don't worry your wife's gonna be okay." Mr. Sharif smiled a little.
"What if something similar happens again?" with a feeling that has not been completely calm, Eza settled down and then looked at Mr. Sharif who was sitting in front of him.
"Berdo'a and ask for protection from the almighty. As a husband, Nak Eza should not show excessive worry if the wife is weak or sick. Nak Eza should stay as firm as the reef. Haqul is sure everything will be fine, because sometimes our thinking often determines what will happen."
Wejangan from Mr. Syarif really reconcile an Eza. There was so much Eza took from his words. For that, Eza will apply in real life. Hoping to find a point of peace in her life, reach the happiest point with Alita.
"One more suggestion." Said Mr. Sharif while staring at Eza. "Repeat your marriage from the beginning, do the marriage as you should. Replace the previous intention with the intention of lillahi ta'ala. Because marriage is illegal.
(Mut'ah wedding = wedding within a certain time.)
"God's Inspiration, sir."
