The Heart of Raisya

Sofi's engagement

Arrived Where is the day that Sofi looked forward to, the day of her engagement. After these two days we did a lot of preparation which was quite draining. Sofi has been groomed by her own friend who happens to be MUA in one of the big salons in the city, her name is Anggi. I and Ummi wear matching color gamis made from plain maxmara that access dusty sipadu color sequins with dusty combination black color hijab.

I went into Sofi's room to see her readiness." What about you, it's done?" I saw that Sofi was neat with a modern kebaya and dusty hijab that matched the color of her danger. Natural makeup, add to the aura of my sister's beauty. "Good God, beautiful as you are, Irfan must be pangling to see you later."

"And it's beautiful with the funds." With confidence Sofi said while showing her cute face, and put both backs of her palms on her chin.

"Here, humum! can't be praised." Anggi.

Looks like Irfan's motorcade from the Irfan family has arrived. I immediately walked out of Sofi's room to greet the guests. Quite a lot of people were brought by the male candidates. We put the shipment they brought into the living room. Understand us villagers, relatives so many must be invited all. Even though it is only an engagement event, it is still a massive celebration.

Arriving at the Core event, the male candidate representative expressed his intentions. Continued with acceptance from our side. And finally the engagement ring. Irfan's ring was worn by Abi, while Sofi's ring was worn by Irfan's mother. Next the photo event with I was moved by the happiness of my sister.

May you find happiness with your partner. I'm sure Irfan is the best mate for you. There is a sense of tightness in the heart, but not because of envy. I remember a little of the past. Naturally not as an ordinary human being, am I like this?

The rest is filled with hospitality.We serve food and drinks to the invitees. The joint do'a closing ceremony was led by Ustadz Shobri, the najai teacher at our complex.

Some of the guests came home, some of the complex mothers helped wash the dishes. The nuclear family of Irfan has not returned home, there are his parents, Uncle and Aunt, and Brother and Sister. They are still taking pictures and may be talking about Sofi and Irfan's wedding. Sofi and I sat down and listened to their conversation.

"What about our son's marriage, what is the decision of Mr. Aji and Mother? do you agree with the dates we set?"

"I asked Sofi sir, Mom. Sofi has agreed, God willing we are ready with the date set." Abi turned to Sofi." Isn't that right, Sof, you agree?" ask Abi.

"Yes Abi." Sofi replied steadily.

"Alhamdulillah then Mr. Aji, we are glad to hear it. This means that from today we have to prepare everything. The wedding's on the 20th of next month, so it's about 40 days away."

"Yes sir, hopefully the preparation is smooth there are no obstacles later."

"amin.." we're co-ambulating.

"For the issue of documents that need to be submitted to KUA let Irfan nantik take care of."

"Okay sir, we're trusting in Irfan's son."

Finally they went home, and we drove to the front.

FLASH BACK ON

H-1 Sofi's engagement, on the night after Isya we gathered at home. The cake we made is not finished, tonight we continue to make the contents of the fennel panada. Sofi and I were frying, Ummi and the others were filling and forming panadas. They work in the family room. It just so happens that frying is done in the kitchen. So So Sofi and I are currently in the kitchen.

"Dik mbak want to talk, please don't cut it before mbak finished."

"Seriously very bad, so scared! what the hell are you talking about?"

While flipping the panada I fried on the pan, I advised Sofi.

"But what will people say? I don't want anyone to sneer at our family, especially mbak."

"Don't listen to people, we don't ask people to eat. As long as we do good and don't harm others, don't be afraid to step in."

"I'm not good at it either." Sofi said very softly, I barely heard.

"Sik, soul mate, death, and rizki are already there to regulate. We as humans have to live, of course accompanied by effort. Ma'am has been married, even though my soul mate only for a short time. It doesn't matter if you precede mbak, because all of this is already Qodarullah. Don't waste time delaying good things. Irfan's a responsible man, I'm sure you'll be a lucky wife."

"Awas gosong tuh mbak! it can be lifted like that." Sofi reminded. I immediately raised the brownish-yellow panada.

"Do you understand the mbak message, brother? Don't disappoint our parents! Mbak has never disappointed them with the Mbak household which is only a corn." I continued the conversation.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for wanting to take heart to make things happen. Love you for this mbkku!" Sofi hugged me from the side.

"Udah ah! do not make melow, nantik mbak so mewek. Change mbak to fry! mbak want to go to the bathroom, be careful not to be bored." I got out of my seat and went to the bathroom.

"Yes, take it easy!"

In the bathroom I wash my face, not without reason. When I entered the bathroom, I could not feel my tears falling on my cheeks. Maybe I got carried away with the conversation.

FLASH BACK OFF

After finishing cleaning the house and tidying up the furniture, we took a break. Today was very tiring, it feels like my body aches to go there and here.

Like last night, I slept with my aunt. Brother Ummi was present, but no one stayed over.Karna was too tired it did not take long to close his eyes.

In a third of the night I wake up and perform my rituals. Complain to the Dzat ruler of nature. I poured out everything in my heart.

"O Allah, forgive the sins of the servants, and the sins of the two servant parents. Give all your mercy to the family of the servant. Thank you for all the favors you gave me today. I beg you to give me the spaciousness of heart, and the strength of faith so that I may not be easily influenced by the glare of the world. Verily, the servant is only a hypocrite who can easily deny your favor. Meet the servant with the right soul mate, who will accompany the servant to your heaven. Amyn... "
