The Light of Love Salma

Discovering Kafa

Salma who was lazy to meet Kafa chose to linger in the bathroom, enjoying the smell of shampoo and soap that was pouring out all over her body, bathing like this was long enough she did not feel, she said, usually he bathed in a hasty movement, whether it was because someone was waiting in line, called Ummi or in Tunghu Tari, he said, at this time the state of the bathroom is quiet there are only a few santri only visible, and Dance she also has not finished folding the clothes that she washed yesterday, usually Dance will fold and tidy up right then and there, but yesterday Tari said lazy to do it, so today the work is so piled up.

"Ahhh, the leg," said Salma who now looks so fresh after bathing with a radiant face.

"Tumben you took a really long shower?" tanya Tari who turned out to be neat looks already showered and polished the powder on her cheeks.

"Again enjoy the dance life, so take a long bath" replied Salma.

"There is a santri who nyariin you, he said in the call cepetan!" tambak Tari's.

"Yes, it's also going to be there." Salma replied relaxed.

"Where are you going?" Dance asked again with a curious expression that was clearly visible on her face.

"So he told Mas Kafa in the backyard," Salma replied still with his leisure.

"Gosh, it means that since then you have been waiting for the same Mas Kafan," cried Tari in disbelief if his best friend still looks relaxed when Kafa is waiting for him.

"Yes" Salma still showed a relaxed face without sin or fear.

"What are you not afraid of in the omelin or in the same anger Mas Kafa if you come late?" tanya Tari with a curious expression that is clearly drawn on her face, however this morning Salma told me about her energy that was exhausted because of Kafa's ngadepin.

"So I told you that I was in the bathroom, if he was angry just say I had an upset stomach so long ago in the bathroom, it was easy," replied Salma.

"Since when have you been so good at finding excuses like that?" tanya Tari was surprised to hear Salma's words, this is the first time Tari heard Salma make an excuse that is not true, all this time Salma always said honestly and as it is.

"That's the point, I should be able to be seen firmly in the presence of Mas Kafa, even though I am here living a ride on Ummi and receiving an arranged marriage also from Ummi, but I still look strong and firm so that Mas Kafa does not treat me as he pleased," Salma explained what was on his mind and what happened had to be faced with a myriad of strengths.

"If so I agree, Salma's spirit!" Dance encouraged Salma to make her stronger against Kafa.

"I'll go first." Pamit Salma breezed away leaving Tari who now began to open her favorite novel.

"What's Kafa?" salma asked as she reached the courtyard, she saw Kafa sitting down to enjoy a cup of coffee accompanied by fried food beside him.

"Why have you been so long? you think I have nothing else to do but wait for you?" kafa protested in a hostile tone.

"I'm sorry, dear Mas Kafa, my stomach hurt a little longer in the bathroom" Salma gave an excuse according to what she had planned.

"Sit down!" kafa continued giving orders that directly followed by Salma without protest or ask, he immediately obeyed Kafa's order to sit in a chair located not far from where he sat.

For a moment the atmosphere became silent, Kafa seemed to be silent thinking the right words for him to express, while Salma only looked down to hide his upset face after hearing Kafa mbembentaknya.

"Did you know about Ummi's plan to set us up?" one question sounded from Kafa's lips.

"Yes, I know it," answered Salma quickly firmly and clearly.

"Why did you refuse him?" Kafa asked back.

"I will never refuse the wishes of Ummi that I have considered like my own mother," answered Salma who successfully made Kafa remember all the stories told by Ummi.

"What about Ghozi?" Kafa continued to ask, expressing all the feelings that were running in his heart.

"Maybe he is not my soul mate, so there is no reason for me to accept Ghozi or reject Ummi's request because of it, for me Ummi was like my own mother after my real mother died, so whatever he decides or wants I will obey him with all my heart," again Salma gave a firm answer to Kafa.

"How can you. establish a household without any love? are you able to carry out all the duties of a wife later?" Kafa is seen staring fixedly at Salma looking for honesty there.

"I believe in the destiny that has been laid out in me, whoever will be my companion later, I am sure that over time the feeling of love will come by itself, because I married not with the intention of uniting the love that I believed based on momentary lust, but I married for worship, practicing the sunnah and seeking as much merit as possible through that marriage," salma's words completely rendered Kafa speechless.

"Are you ready to be my wife and serve me as a wife?" Kafa now begins to ask more deeply about Salma's readiness, because Kafa wants to get married once in his lifetime, even though he has not loved or loved Salma, but he also does not want to reject Ummi's wishes, either, and Kafa also needs a reason to release Intan.

"Whoever or not when the time has come, I will continue to carry out my duties and obligations as a wife later," Salma still showed a firm and strong face before Kafa, he said, even though Salma's feelings were mixed at the moment, her heart skipped a beat when she heard Kafa ask her about her readiness to serve her as a wife.

Salma's mind drifted deep into the clouds, imagining that every morning, afternoon and evening she would continue to see Kafa and the one she feared the most when Kafa asked for her hakny as a husband, how can Salma serve him well if just seeing it makes Salma afraid to mix emotions.

"Salma!" reprimand Kafa when he saw Salma was silent with a blank look looking straight ahead.

"Eh, yeah, why?" spontaneous Salma.

"If you're not ready, just say it! I'll help you talk to Ummi before it's too late" Kafa said.

"No, I won't change my decision, I don't want to disappoint Ummi" Kafa replied.

"You don't want to disappoint Ummi or do you really want to marry me?" tanya Kafa who succeeded made Salma surprised by it.
