The Secret of the Heart (Loving My Brother)

Chapter 9

"Ridho hasn't come yet?"

Bagas' question made Kennan turn his attention to him.

"At the most" Kennan responded after taking a sip of his drink.

"How busy, usually the earliest"

"You don't know that today he opened his 16th SPBU?"

"O well, I don't know, great too yeah, new feeling yesterday opening, now open a new branch again"

"Assalamu'alaikum bro" said Ridho who had just arrived. "Walaikumsalam" replied Ridho and Kennan compact. Alternately perform a fist bump.

They were gathered in a cafe to talk or talk. Kennan, Ridho and Bagas, are schoolmates since at MTs and MA owned by abi's grandfather. Kennan and Ridho who both continue their schools in the field of business, in contrast to Bagas who attended police education after graduating S 1 Technik informatics (programming). And now gets a job in the Surabaya polresta.

Ridho managed to become a businessman who has several SPBU branches in the Surabaya area, while Kennan continued the business founded by his parents.

While waiting for the order to come, they seemed to talk about women, where the three did not have a partner.

"By the way, big sir, how's the planning going?" ridho's question made Kennan smile wryly. What is meant by planning with Ridho is about his plan to marry Zara. Only those who were in charge knew that Kennan loved the woman who was his sister.

"Looks ambyar dho" said Bagas.

Still clenching his lips, one hand Kenan played a pack of cigarettes on the table.

"What does your friend want?" said Ridho pointed to Bagas "my own group for a long time!" continue with the head.

"I know, it is not easy to express your feelings, let alone your family relationships are very close, but still have to be revealed" added Bagas staring at Ridho as if asking for approval.

"Betul Ken" Ridho seemed to sip a cigarette and exhaled his smoke "Si Zara has not realized what, if her brother love dies?"

The man she was talking about was still silent, making Ridho and Bagas even more furious "Would I and Bagas meet Zara to represent you about your feelings?"

Snoring softly, Kennan scanned the gaze staring at Ridho and Bagas Alternately "You guys talk about me without reflecting on yourself" said Kennan then lit a cigarette "How are you guys who haven't been able to mate huh?" Business smoothly, a lot of money, looks also not ugly very, in fact there are no women who want to be on a date. Moreover, you Dho, every year open the SPBU branch, still opening alone, without the assistance of beautiful women" he mocked.

"Haisst, you're the one who clearly has no target yet realized" replied Ridho throwing a pack of empty cigarettes into Kennan's face.

"I'm dizzy to know"

"That is you are dizzy to make your own" said Bagas

"I'm seriously Gas" Kennan chanted "Zara again there's a ta'aruf process, I'm really going to lose him"

"Eat him do not be soft as a man, you have a mouth for what if not in use talk. Tell Zara that you love not as a sister"

"But if he doesn't love what?"

"Yes at least you know his feelings, then you have to move on and find another target" continued Ridho "I saranin as soon as possible, if not, can first with other brothers"

********

Long enough, the three men gathered, until the clock showed at 9 pm. They came together out of the cafe building towards the parking lot, and this is where they split up.

Not the home of his parents who became the goal of his return tonight, Kennan chose to go to the home of Abi's grandfather and Umi's grandmother.

Upon entering the courtyard of the grandfather's house, several cars were seen coming out of the gate.

"Have you had any guests?" kennan was still in the car.

"Assalamu'alaikum" Kennan grabbed the hands of his grandparents

"Wa'alaikumsalam"

"Where are the guests?" tanyanya then sat on the single sofa opposite her grandparents who sat next to her.

Kennan frowned, trying hard to digest his grandfather's words.

"There was a cake wedding?"

Grandfather nodded.

"How can you?" he asked with a surprised face

"Islam is easy, son?" concluded the grandfather "A father, or grandfather can marry his daughter or granddaughter to the best man of his choice, without the consent of the woman, of course for some reason"

"I mean cake?" kennan asked with a confused and curious face

"The existence of legal guardian ijbar in Islamic marriage law is due to consideration for the good of the girl who is married, because often a girl is not good at choosing the right match" Grandpa Arifin gave a pause, because it often happens that a girl is not good at choosing the right match, to take a breath, because of his old age, makes him not as energetic as before "If the girl is released to choose her own soul mate, it is felt will bring harm to the girl in the future, and, so the right of the guardian of ijbar here is the right of a guardian be it father or grandfather to marry his daughter, without waiting for his willingness"

It seems that Kennan still does not understand the grandfather's explanation.

"I mean, like this cake, Kennan married a girl, without having to wait for the consent of the girl he married, so cake?"

"Yes, and the father of the girl can exercise the right of guardian ijbar with the aim that the choice for her daughter is the best"

In Islam, there are two opinions regarding the right of the guardian of this ijbar namely, first; according to Imam Hanafi, the right of the guardian of ijbar is the right of a guardian who can marry by force or without the consent of someone he wants to marry, namely to a small woman, a woman who has grown up but does not make sense is a virgin or a widow.

Second, according to Imam Syafi’i the right of the guardian ijbar is the right of a guardian who has the right to marry his daughter even without her consent, both the girl has been puberty or not yet puberty"

"Beware of the right of ijbar for women who are not old enough huh cake?"

"Yes, that is if according to the Hanafi priest, if according to the Shafi'i priest for all women both young and mature. Depending on who runs, we are more concerned with the Hanafi or Shafi'i priests"

"But isn't that against the law in our country cake?"

"Failure, this can be kept secret for a certain period of time. For example, the girl is still underage, it must wait for puberty, after adulthood can be discussed again"

"But cake, if after adulthood the girl does not agree with her marriage how?"

"It can be canceled, this man must pledge talak, and if the girl accepts it, then it can formalize her marriage in a state"

"That's the cake"

"Did I marry Zara with the right of guardian ijbar papi?"

"Once it's legal, it's only been talked about with Zara, if Zara agrees, then I can formalize it state-by-state, otherwise I'll try to get her to agree, and if she still can't, then I can't, Zara can cancel the wedding"

"I need to talk to Dad"

"Ken" call Grandma umi

"Yes Grandma"

"Where was that from?"

"Having been hanging out together, want to stay here mumpung sunday night"

****

In the room, Kennan still kept thinking about his intention to marry Zara, because his guts were too afraid to express his feelings to her.

"I hope his ta'aruf fails" muttered Kennan, then folded his hands for him to use as a pillow "Do I have to thwart him?"

"Ahh too evil"

"Now, just surrender Ken, if the ta'aruf succeeds, then fix Zara is not your soul mate, and if the ta'aruf fails, you can immediately move quickly"
