The End of the Waiting

Seeking Redirection

“Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, by the permission of God as the owner of the heart and life, with the blessing of my father and mother .. I .. am willing to marry you,” Amara replied while looking down with a red hue on both cheeks.

“Alhamdulillah.” Everyone said it gratefully.

Then the chatter continues by looking for a good day to carry out the wedding day. At first Adnan asked for about two months while preparing many things, but Ahmad Arsalan refused and asked to be hastened.

One reason is because both partners have dared to steal a glance and exchange love signals only through the eyes. He did not want both of them to fall into sin by exceeding the limit.

Secretly the two prayed inwardly, desiring to be hastened.

Adnan finally agreed to remember with his own eyes he could see that the two people who had been struck by love were looking at each other and admiring in silence, then blushed by themselves.

The decision was made that the marriage contract and the wedding party would be held he week again considering the many preparations that had to be made.

Ahmad Arsalan stared at the child and his future son-in-law in turn. Then ask the two to talk and get to know each other.

After getting permission from the family, Raisa calls one of the servants to accompany them so that the two are not alone.

Amara takes Akram to the backyard of the house, a mini garden with several lounge chairs lined up neatly.

“Aibi can watch and sit there.” Amara pointed at the bench next to her which was only a little distance away.

Amara and Akram sit on the same bench. However, both of them sit on the end and end sides until between the two still leaves a fairly far space.

Both of them looked nervous and a little misbehaved. Every now and then they turned their heads and threw smiles as the eyes of the two met. So on until the sound of coughing from behind which turned out the figure of Raisa and Azizah was standing watching.

The two middle-aged men rolled their eyes in a careless manner and took a seat behind the two.

“Papa asks you to talk, instead of looking at each other and throwing a smile full of love. Jesus, Akram!” nagel Azizah while shaking her head. The behavior of these lovers is truly terrible.

Akram looked down and blushed. Amara smiled in response.

“Mama and Ms. Raisa will be waiting for you here. Continue what you want to say, no need to worry. We were also once young,” Azizah said again.

The atmosphere was silent for quite a while, only a soft sigh collided with the sound of a cooling breeze.

Amara turned her head for a moment towards her future husband, then threw a straight look forward. “Please if Mas Akram would like to ask,” said.

Akram nodded in understanding, he looked back where the two middle-aged were sitting, but said nothing. They seem to be listening to what they're going to talk about.

“Where to pray five times, Mara?” tanya Akram starts with a simple question.

Religion is the pillar of life, prayer is duty. If his worship is good, God willing, he will also be a good teacher.

As the Prophet SAW said, get a religious woman, you will be happy.

“God has five times already, Mas,” replied Amara honestly.

Akram nodded and smiled faintly. “Who do you love most in this world?”

Amara. “Allah, Apostle, then man. Because love for man also comes from Him.” Resolute without a doubt.

“Who are you with all my shortcomings? Because actually after marriage probably will be a lot of my shortcomings that will start to look.” Akram again throws a question full of intent.

“God willing, I will accept your advantages or disadvantages. Man is created no one is perfect, but by marriage may we be able to complement each other and support each other in terms of kindness.”

Amara was getting nervous, the longer the questions thrown in the heavier.

This is the ultimate question. Everyone responds to problems perhaps in different ways and attitudes, but there are times when as an ordinary human being, the khilaf must exist.

“Married not only because they want to live together, but must also be prepared mentally in living it. Because marriage is a new chapter in life, problems and trials will always be there and can be anything. Insha Allah .. May we be able to face it together and still give trust to each other, because trust is the foundation for building a good relationship.”

Akram nods and thanks Amara for the reply which further convinced him.

Then the simple question of what his favorite and what his skills are becomes the number thing that is thrown. To get to know each other and understand each other the little things that are actually valuable in the relationship.

After a few minutes of silence enjoying the cup of milk the waiter had brought, they spoke again. Now is the time for Amara to ask her future husband, the future priest in married life.

Before asking he turned to look at Akram who looked worried-looking. A small smile appeared on his lips, the feeling felt almost the same.

Hope anxious.

“What does family mean to you, Mom? What is the vision in marriage?” ask Amara calmly.

“Family is a place where we go home and share many things.

Marriage makes it possible to find a partner or partner in sailing the ark of life, realizing an ideal family that is harmonious, faithful, and has good self-quality, ” Akram replied briefly, but very meaningful.

“How is Mas Akram worship?” The same question Akram asked Amara.

“God willing I always put God at the top in life. Like, a husband is a driver who will take his passengers in the direction of goodness or just the opposite.”

Amara nodded. Understand enough. Husband is like a pillar of a building, if the pole is ugly, then it will be ugly building.

“If there are problems and conflicts in the household, how to put them down, Mas?”

“Married is the start of the test, no marriage is spared from conflict or problems. But, as much as possible we can solve it by sitting together and talking, with a cool head, without emotion and anger, then looking for a way out and the solution,” said Akram memgebu. Remember the last time he found a guy who almost hit Amara.

Marry a man who can still say good even when he is angry.

The best thing about a partner is that when he is angry, he will not be insulting because he remains respectful, and does not want to lose just because of the debate.

Remember this ....

Before marriage, get to know your partner well even when he is angry.

Was he rude?

Or choose silence?

How does he respond to every outburst of his emotions?

A child cannot choose from which parent to be born. However, only yourself can see which is appropriate to accompany as a spouse and decent parent.

“Women are created not from gray hair so they forget praise, not from the bones of the feet because they are worried about being stepped on and lowered. Women were created from ribs, close to the chest to be protected and close to the heart to be loved,” continued Akram which instantly made Amara melt.

The two looked at each other and looked at each other in a few seconds. Throwing each other a smile so deep and intent.

However, Azizah and Raisa who witnessed it were only head bobbles. They approached and closed their eyes to the children who always stole the opportunity.
