Chapter 97

Alvan's heart was beating very fast at this moment. Even though faced with Grandpa Joseph and Grandma Halima almost every day. However, when he wanted to talk about something important suddenly became nervous.

Not only Alvan was nervous about his current feelings, but Aulia, whose hands were suddenly cold and sweaty. The woman even felt a sense of fear that their desires were both rejected.

"So, what important thing do you two want to talk to you about?" asked Grandpa Yusuf while looking at the two human children in front of him.

Aulia and Alvan glanced at each other at a glance. But anyway, they should talk about this.

"I want Aulia's hand" replied Alvan.

Grandfather Joseph looked towards Aulia, he wanted to see how his adopted daughter's reaction was.

Aulia looked to nod her head. A sign that he has made a choice, who will be a companion in his life.

"Are you ready to become a priest for Aulia and her family?" ask Grandpa Yusuf.

"God's Insha, ready, Cake," replied Alvan without hesitation.

"Then, are you ready to be a husband who will protect and take care of Aulia?"

"God's Insha, ready. I will guard, protect, and guide him until death do us part."

"Are you never going to be rude to Aulia? Whether it's his body or his heart?" 

"God's Insha, I will never hurt or hurt his heart and body."

Grandpa Yusuf and Grandma Halimah smiled happily. Now the girl can open her heart again to other men. For several years now, Aulia's feelings have been trapped by Ahmad's charm, making it very difficult for her to accept advice from other men.

"Make Aulia happy by being by your side!" pinta Granny Halimah.

"God's Insha, that's what I've always wanted to do for him" Alvan replied with all his heart.

Hearing Alvan's words, the two old men and Aulia were very happy. At least with that they feel calm.

"Grandfather will only give you advice as advised by the Prophet Shallallahu alaihi wasallam to Ali ibn Abi Talib and Fatimah bint Muhammad" said Grandpa Yusuf.

"This may have been Aulia knew, because we told her in the past. There was no harm in reminding me," continued the old man and Aulia nodded.

In the marriage of Sayyidina Ali bin Abi Talib and Sayyidah Fatimah, the Prophet gave a sermon containing guidance, views, and discourses on marriage.

First, marriage is God's power. Everything in this universe is inseparable from the power of Allah SWT, including marriage.

“He is the One who created the creature with His power. It is He who illuminates the way of his servant with His decree,” said the Prophet in the wedding sermon of Sayyidina Ali ibn Abi Talib and Sayyidah Fatimah.

In marriage, Allah SWT has made a decree. If a married couple follows what he has set, the marriage will be lasting and happy, and vice versa.

Second, the means of obtaining offspring. In a hadith, the Prophet called on his people to marry fertile women, in order to have offspring.

But the most important thing is not only to get many offspring or children, but also to educate and try to form a generation of faith, fear, and knowledge.

"That is the Most High and Most High has made marriage as a means of obtaining offspring,” continued Prophet SAW in the wedding sermon Fatimah.

Indeed, marriage in Islam involves not only two individuals (the bride and groom), but also the extended family of both parties. Generally, once legally married, two large families will have a strong bond.

The advice of the Prophet SAW regarding marriage is the most perfect guide. By following or practicing his advice, health will be maintained, the pleasure and pleasure of the soul to be perfect and the purpose of marriage can be achieved.

Alvan listened carefully to Grandpa Yusuf's words so that no one would be missed. He wanted to be a good priest for Aulia and her family later.

"Grandmother also wants to add some advice to you," continued the black-mistered old woman.

"By, Grandma. Tell us any advice. So that we are not wrong in stepping when building a household later," said Alvan enthusiastically.

Seeing the reaction of Aulia's future husband, made Grandpa Yusuf and Grandma Halimah laugh. They were happy because Alvan really wanted to build a household ark with their very dear protege.

"In order to get a sadinah household, mawaddah, warahmah. Islam considers that marriage is a noble and sacred thing, worth worshiping to Allah subhanallahu wa ta'ala, and following the sunnah of the Prophet shallallahu alaihi wa salam. It is also carried out on the basis of sincerity, responsibility, and following the existing legal provisions.

"First, marry for worship. The first thing to do is to set the intention of getting married for worship. It is important to always remember that the self and the partner are human beings with all their flaws, not impeccable angels.

Furthermore, there is an emphasis that the obligation of the husband is to work for a living. Because work is a form of gratitude for the gift of Allah SWT. Work is the process of collecting sustenance. If the results of his efforts are achieved, then it has to do with destiny because it is related to what is done. If not satisfied with the result, then there is a necessity to feel qana’ah."

Qana'ah is an attitude of willing to accept and always feel enough from the efforts made, and keep away from dissatisfaction.

"Second, communicate with each other. You must communicate with each other in a smooth and polite manner. Every time you speak, say it in a good way.

If the husband and wife can communicate well, this will minimize misunderstandings in the household. Not only that, this good habit will also be imitated by his children.

Do not forget, you must also commit to carry out the obligations and rights that have been required of him to his partner.

Allah SWT again said: “And the women have the right to be balanced with their obligations in a way that ma’ruf. However, husbands have a certain degree of advantage over their wives. And All-Mighty, All-Wise.” (QS. Al-Baqarah: 228)"

Aulia and Alvan's heart trembled even more. Their chest rumbled and the blood flow in the body felt to flow rapidly. How happy these two brides-to-be get this kind of advice from people who love them.

"Aulia, you know how much we love you. Grandma can only give a few words that might be useful for your life later in building your household," Grandma Halimah said as she looked at the girl with sad eyes.

Aulia nodded with teary eyes. He was deeply moved by the confession of the old woman he loved as well.

"Know that your happiness is very much related to your husband's happiness. Therefore, beware of the first possible conflict with your husband. And the conflict has the potential to continue until it never ends.

Obey your husband as much as you can. Avoid mocking and mocking talks, and conversations that are not worth listening to.

Be afraid and avoid jealousy because jealousy is the gateway to divorce.

Be afraid and avoid much reproach because the reproach has the potential to generate anger.

Many small things are better than some big things. A sweet little thing like a little attention that is often done is better than a big gift on a birthday.

Learn to love your imperfections. Brides can choose to continue to strive for perfection that will never be achieved, or accept that everyone has their own uniqueness.

Forgive mistakes. This is the most difficult, but the most important thing. Lowering the ego and understanding each other takes time to grow, but married couples have plenty of time to process together.

Self-reliance and respect. It is important for couples to respect each other and give each other space to grow and develop as individuals. It's fun to do things together, too. It will also make the time sweeter when the couple has time to be themselves."

Aulia's tears eventually fell as well. How happy he was to have a foster person who was so attentive to him. What God took from him was replaced with something better. Aulia already considered that Grandpa Joseph and Grandma Halimah were her parents, even though they did not have the same blood as her. However, their affection and attention is not far from both of their biological parents. Even he felt that God was too good and dear to him by presenting a substitute for his parents.
