Tears of Sholehah's Wife

Episode 79's.

Jihan was peeling onions in the kitchen with Salma and Aisyah, while Arif again washed his motorcycle in the front yard.

“Jihan.”

“Iya, Ummi.”

“So there was a young man who came, he conveyed the intention of wanting to ask you.” Salma Beber.

Jihan suddenly bowed silently and stopped her activity, her heart instantly pounding.

“Abi and Ummi agree.”

Jihan raised her head and was stunned. “Abi and Ummi agree?”

Salma nodded. “Iya, tomorrow night Insha Allah he and his family will come to propose.”

“Haa, tomorrow? But I haven't agreed, Ummi! Abi and Ummi should have asked me first!” Jihan Protest.

Aisyah just silently listened to the talk of the mother and child.

“You would agree to see the guy.” Answer Salma lightly.

“Ummi, but ...”

“Already, Son! Ummi doesn't want to hear your protests anymore! Anyway tomorrow night we are ready, we will welcome your future husband and his family.” concluded Salma who did not give Jihan a chance to talk.

Ayu Jihan's face turned moody, she was sad and refused. But he did not dare to go against the will of his parents. It felt like at this moment Jihan wanted to cry, instantly she had a look on Ammar's face. He really lost that guy.

Jihan continued her work peeling red onions, her eyes suddenly sore and quickly inundated clear liquid. Salma glanced at her daughter while smiling faintly.

An hour later, Jihan meets Arif who is sitting alone on the porch while enjoying coffee and looking at his shiny motorcycle. Jihan sat next to the father with a sad face.

“Abi.”

“Yes, what's up, son?” Ask Arif.

“Why did Abi and Ummi decide to accept the person's proposal without asking for my approval first?”

Arif exhaled. “Abi can't bear to refuse it, son. Abi knows the young man likes you a lot, he has also been trying to get you.” for a long time

Jihan stared in full search. “What is it, Abi? The villagers are here too? Do I know the guy?”

“Iya, you know. But he's not here, he's Abi's friend's son.”

“Who, Abi?”

“Abi, please help Ummi in the kitchen for a moment!” Salma suddenly comes and takes Arif to the kitchen before her husband can answer Jihan's question.

“Iya, Ummi.” Arif moved on and left Jihan just like that.

Jihan felt increasingly upset, Abi and Ummi's attitude really made her stricken with feelings of sadness.

Tomorrow, Jihan and her parents are ready to welcome their guests.

Jihan who wears a milk-brown Ceruti robe and a black hijab has been sitting alone in the room restlessly and with a sad face, if she can, wants to feel like she's rejecting all this.

While it was already crowded outside, Aisyah and some of Jihan's relatives started to arrive, it seemed that Arif had invited them.

“Assalammualaikum.”

“Wa’alaikumsalam, let's go in!”

“Why not come yet, huh?” Ask Aisyah.

“Maybe stuck, we wait a minute.”

Soon the car troupe entered the courtyard of Arif's modest house. Several men and women got out of the car carrying a proposal and walked in.

“Assalamualaikum.” Say them.

They entered and took their own seats, and a couple and their son followed and entered after greeting.

“Wah, we finally meet again.”

“This is fate.” Answer Arif.

Inside Jihan's room was getting stifling, her hands were cold and trembling. She wondered who her husband was really? Jihan had tried to ask her parents, but since last night they had always avoided.

The event began, a man who became a spokesman was conveying the intention of his arrival, then greeted another man and then heard the sound of everyone's laughter. Jihan could not hear it too clearly because the door of the room was tightly closed.

Before long Aisyah opened the door and entered the room. “Jihan, let's get out!”

Jihan's face turned tense. “Bule, I don't want to!”

“Eh, you see your future husband first, surely you will not reject him.”

“But, Bule ..”

“Already, come! You awaited it!” Urge Aisyah while hampering Jihan's arm and pulling her out of the room.

With a pounding heart and a raging feeling, Jihan stepped out of the room. But once he saw who came, Jihan was flabbergasted and stopped her steps.

“Mas Ammar?” Jihan murmured with bulging eyes, she was surprised and did not expect that there was her ex-husband. Even Joseph and Anita were there.

Ammar smiled at Jihan, his heart was very happy because God finally answered his prayers and hopes all along.

“Let's sit down, Son!” Salma pulled Jihan sitting beside her, Jihan who was still confused just according.

“Sorry because we secretly planned all this from you.” Salma's whisper, makes Jihan more confused.

“Truely this is his bride-to-be, Mar? Not wrong?” Ask an old man.

Ammar nodded. “No, Opa! Right he's a future bidadari me heaven.”

“Ciieee, your style is!” Ledek the old man and invited everyone's laughter.

Now Jihan is starting to understand what happened, but she is still confused why Salma does not mind Ammar proposing to her again?

“Eh, but ask first with the bride-to-be, would not marry you, Mar?” Sela was a middle-aged man sitting next to Ammar.

Shamefully Ammar looked at Jihan and asked. “Jihan, I love you so much. Will you marry me, perfect my religion and worship, mother my children and step with me towards Jannah?”

Jihan was stunned with her head down, she was getting more nervous and trembling.

Salma held her daughter's hand and spoke softly. “Nak, answer!”

Clear liquid immediately flooded Jihan's eyes, she was moved at once happy. “Bismillah, God willing I am, Mas.”

“Alhamdulillah!” Excite everyone.

Jihan rubbed her tears that fell down, she still did not expect today Ammar would propose to her again.

Salma who saw Jihan crying hugged her daughter. Jihan returned the mother's embrace tightly and shed her happiness and joy.

Apparently it was Salma who planned all this, she deliberately wanted to make a surprise for Jihan. He did not agree because he was too disappointed, but once he saw Ammar's struggle and changes in the young man, Salma was finally destroyed.

Salma knew that Jihan still loved her, so she planned all this without asking the princess for her consent. Thankfully, Arif, Ammar as well as everyone else agreed and managed to make tonight's event a success.

Only Jihan knew nothing, she had felt sad even though at this moment the sense of it had turned into an immeasurable happiness.

They decide the day of the wedding, and Ammar, who is impatient, requests that his marriage and Jihan be held as soon as they take care of the files of the referral to the religious court.

It turns out that man only needs to be patient, confident and try to get what is rightfully from God.

If something is destined for us, it will never belong to anyone else.

And God never runs out of ways to unite the fools and separate the foolless. So it is better as humans we do not need to worry about marriage.
