The chanting of prayers began to be offered by the Kiai whose voice sounded very melodious and dodged into the ears, everyone offered prayers for the marriage that had just been carried out.
Puja and praise singing syahdu in the room, another room from the cottage so it will not disturb the students who are teaching together.
"Deefa let's go see your husband" the Kiai ordered after finishing his prayer.
The woman whose name was called was shocked, in an instant her heart that had begun to calm down even returned to rumbling quickly, truly Deefa felt her heart as if rebelling against her.
Umi and Salimah also help Deefa to get up from her seat but Deefa interrupts with her voice which is very slow like whispering.
"Deefa's legs limp Umi," Deefa argued feeling his legs limp suddenly like boneless.
"You're just nervous Deefa, read the prayer and calm yourself down," suggested Salimah watching her two friends' legs who have now removed her girl status with a young man from Jakarta.
Deefa nodded and said a prayer that made her calm so quickly, because God was the only place to ask for everything she felt and would face.
"Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim."
The three compactly said bismillah before stepping out of the room where they had been since.
"Relax Deefa," Umi said as she felt Deefa's hand holding her hand very tightly, he knows that Deefa is very nervous to meet a man who a few minutes ago said kabul ijab loudly and smoothly.
"Mom" called Raffan to Hayati who was sitting next to him.
"In a moment, be patient" Hayati said.
Raffan snorted with an irritated glance at his eyes, perhaps his mother thought he was impatient to meet his wife when in reality he was already very impervious to urinate, since then he has been very cool but forced to hold it because he feels bad with the people around him who are clearly much older than him, he felt it rude to cut their conversation just to ask permission to go to the toilet.
Well even though he sometimes also acts disrespectful towards his own parents.
And when the three women came out, they, Raffan even more can not stand still he was very can no longer hold the water the longer forced want to go out if he continues to hold can-can wet his pants and make him embarrassed for life.
"Bu Raffan can't stand it! Raffan's going to the toilet!" raffan said loudly making all eyes look at him was no exception with Adeefa who was just about to sit near her parents.
"Behind, Danu please deliver, right" said Kiai Burhan as he held back his smile.
It feels like only this time he saw a man who had just been married even kebellet to urinate rather than kebelet enter the room after having a wife.
After Raffan's death, everyone in the room each held back his smile, not wanting to laugh out loud, afraid that they were laughing at hearing him.
"Congratulations son, now that you are a wife, devoted to your husband, tell him if he made a mistake and instead you should not neglect your duty to be a wife, be a godly wife who becomes a dress for your husband, you must complement each other to support each other both joy and sorrow and the main thing is never to leave your obligations as a Muslim, Mother pray for your household mawadah warahmah," the advice of the woman called by Deefa.
The woman seemed to be trying to hold back sad but still could not, because she knew soon she would be away from her parents, away from the boarding school that had well raised her, she said, because of course her husband will take her to Jakarta and she as a wife must follow where her husband goes.
When Deefa and her mother hugged Raffan came with a much calmer face of course because of what he had been holding he had taken out, he said, it becomes the most relieving thing for now even though he was not in the dikiriri earlier he was quite tense when it comes to doing kabul ijab.
Ah everything goes very fast is really not in his dictionary if at the age of 19 he already has a wife, then which one is his wife?
Raffan looked to see one by one the faces of the three women who had come out together with when he went to the bathroom.
Raffan's eyes were fixed on Umi the wife of Kiai muttering, "his face is too mature for 25 years old." then turned her eyes to Salimah who sat close to Umi and Kiai Burhan, "it's like this one, it's not it?" looks hesitant but now his eyes only see Salimah who looked down because Raffan continues to look at him, even Raffan is not aware that there is one more woman who is hugging the man who was shaking his hand.
"Ah don't know," said Raffan who finally did not care to continue to sit next to his Mother and Father who somehow did not even say anything to him.
Kiai Burhan and his father and the others were chatting, apparently unaware that Raffan had returned from the bathroom.
Finally Salimah poked Uminya to tell about Raffan who had returned, Uminya smiled and nodded and spoke to her husband.
"Change, that's Raffan has come," Umi told Kiai Burhan who immediately stopped his conversation.
Kiai Burhan begins to introduce Deefa and Raffan to each other, telling them that this is their partner.
"Deefa draw near to your husband" Kiai Burhan said to Deefa, bowed with red cheeks.
Now what does Raffan do? the young man frowned at the confused woman he thought as his wife was not his wife, oh god she had guessed wrong!
Raffan turned his gaze to the simple white-blamis woman who shifted in front of him, the woman who said his wife was sitting in front of him with a face that just kept looking down.
"Kiss your husband's hand Deefa," the Kiai's orders were directly obeyed by Deefa.
Raffan looks stiff, of course, because this is the first time his hands are kissed by a woman who has no brotherhood with him, usually his cousin's sisters were only once a year when they met, when they met, the rest are not there because their homes are far apart.
"Sugary too" she said inwardly when Deefa raised her face to face with him and quickly lowered her face.
The couple asked for the blessing of all the elders to pray for the permanence of the household.
Household sustainability? will it last if one of them is still in doubt? he still did not believe in the choice he had even chosen himself.
