THE SUNAN BODYGUARD

episode 5f: Raden Ainul Yaqin Asked to Marry Mbah Bungkul's daughter

Sunan Ribang Kuning often invites his first grandson, a walk to the house of Rejo aka Sunan Kembang Kuning, if he misses his friend. Rejo's house is still cleaned by the Yellow Ribang soldiers, in preparation for Sunan Kembang Kuning home.

Usually, Sunan Ribang Kuning continued his walk to the house of one of his friends, Sunan Bungkul.

Incidentally, at an old age, Sunan Bungkul was given the gift of God, a daughter, who was named Wardah.

He was related to Murtosiyah. And these two little girls were quickly familiar.

Because it is too often away from each other, between Wardah and Murtosiyah really become a friend that is difficult to separate. Kanjeng Sunan Bungkul also told Wardah to visit the Yellow Ribang to get learning from Ki Wirozeroyo, and instead, Ki Wiroseroyo also told Murtosiyah to visit Bungkul to teach.

In fact, these two women often stay at home one of them.

As time passed, Murtosiyah and Wardah transformed into two very beautiful girls. They become friends that cannot be separated. No day is missed alone. They were always both.

When the two of them became teenagers who deserve to be married, Kanjeng Sunan Bungkul, who is getting older, began to fret. He was very hopeful that he could marry this youngest daughter to a reliable man. However, it is certainly not easy for anyone, because the science of religion and pencak silat controlled by Wardah is quite qualified, the results of Sunan Bungkul's own shepherds, and Sunan Ribang Kuning.

At the same time, in Ampel Denta, Kanjeng Sunan Ampel was restless, because he also wanted to marry Murtosiyah who had been baligh.

"Hyai Karimah, our daughter who went with Abah, is already a teenager. I would love to marry this Murtosiyah to a satri who is a genius, pencak silat expert, mastering the science of religion in depth, especially already have experience in the land of people, namely Ainul Yaqin, who have no knowledge of religion, his adopted daughter Ageng Pinatih" Sunan Ampel told his wife.

"If according to Kanjeng Sunan is good, go ahead. Kanjeng Sunan needs to talk to Abah first. Murtosiyah was Abah's favorite grandson. Please Murtosiyah was also spoken to, because, she has a friend, Wardah, daughter of Kanjeng Sunan Bungkul," replied Nyai Karimah.

So, did not wait long, Sunan Ampel also saturates to the Yellow Ribang.

"Change, my coming here, wants to talk about Murtosiyah. I want to marry Ainun Yaqin, my most genius santri," Sunan Ampel told Sunan Ribang Kuning.

"Son Ampel. I, as Eyang Kakungnya, certainly very happy, because I believe that santri Ampel is the young man of choice and suitable for Murtosiyah. I am getting older, I want to watch Murtosiyah get married before I am called Allah swt. Please talk to his son. Does he want to. Murtosiyah had a very close friend, Wardah, daughter of Kanjeng Sunan Bungkul. Maybe right now, he's in Bungkul" Sunan Ribang Kuning said.

As a dutiful daughter, the newly arrived Murtosiyah from Bungkul, was spoken to by her Abahnya.

"Abah wants to marry me to santri Abah. I'm a fool" said Murtosiyah.

However, he let out tears.

"Why crying?"

"I'm not crying. It's just, I'm not ready to be away from my best friend, Wardah."

"Son, if married, the wife has an obligation to obey the husband. So, it's more important to a husband than a friend."

"I understand, Abah."

"So you don't mind getting married?"

"I'm Abah."

"Alhamdulillah."

Sunan Ampel finally said goodbye to return to Pesantren Ampel Denta.

However, in his boarding school, Sunan Ampel did not immediately call Ainul Yaqin to speak.

While Murtosiyah, who felt her time with her best friend, Wardah, less and less because she was getting married, spent her time in Bungkul.

"Wardah, Abah came yesterday, and asked me to marry one of his santri. I don't know and don't know who my husband is. And of course, when I'm someone's wife, we'll rarely see each other again" Murtosiyah told Wardah, shedding tears.

Wardah who got this sudden story, was also shocked, then followed by crying. These two friends, finally hugged while crying.

Sunan Ribang Kuning also let his grandson spend the night in Bungkul, because he knew, that soon, the grandson would follow the husband and part with his best friend.

But God has destined another.

In a time of increasing anxiety Sunan Bungkul, because he has not found a soul mate for his son, got an event that is believed to be a gift from God.

Look for a handsome young man, strapping, and walking gracefully.

"Assalamualaik."

"Waalaikum Salam."

"What's the young man? I've never seen you here?"

"Please, my name is Ainul Yaqin."

"What do you need to do here?"

"I'm sorry Kanjeng Sunan, is it true that the pomegranate tree on the edge of Kali Mas there, belongs to Panjenengan?"

"really. What's the matter?" sunan Bungkul said in amazement.

"I'm sorry, here's the story. When I bathed in Kali Pegrian, there was one pomegranate drifting at times. I took it and soon I broke it. I ate it partly."

Sunan Bungkul was aghast. His chest started to beat. However, he chose silence, to give his guests a chance, continuing the story.

"However, after swallowing some pomegranate seeds, I realized that this fruit is not mine. This fruit belongs to someone. I can not imagine if the owner of this pomegranate is not sincere. Of course what I ate earlier was haram."

Sunan Bungkul remained silent. But, his face looks very cheerful.

"For that, my coming here, is to apologize, and beg, may Kanjeng Sunan give me the pomegranate that I ate some of it."

Sunan Bungkul is silent.

Ainul Yaqin was silent.

Some time ago, then Sunan Bungkul voiced.

"I'm not sincere. Pomegranate I will demand in the afterlife."

Of course Ainul Yaqin was shocked.

Slowly, he began to shed tears and looked down.

Sunan Humped smiled, and said inwardly: "Alhamdulillah, O Allah, may this young man be my son's match. Thank you God, may I still be able to watch Wardah marry this young man."

"I'm sorry Kanjeng Sunan. Whatever I will do, even if my life can atone for the pomegranate, I leave it to Kanjeng Sunan, as long as Kanjeng Sunan forgives me, and welcomes the pomegranate."

"It's not that easy."

Ainul Yaqin bowed lethargic.

Sunan Bungkul let his guests cry.

"Whatever I do, as long as I'm converted and forgiven."

"really?"

"God willing, Kanjeng Sunan."

"Well, there is only one way that I can give you the pomegranate you have eaten."

"Tell me that way, Kanjeng Sunan. God willing I will do."

"The only way, that is, you must marry my son."

Ainul Yaqin was shocked. But get down.

"If that's the only way, I'm willing."

"My son is blind."

"I'm ready."

"My son is mute."

"I'm ready."

"My son is deaf."

"I'm ready."

"My son is paralyzed."

"I'm ready."

"Is it true that you're ready to have a wife who is blind, deaf, mute, and paralyzed?"

"God willing is right, Kanjeng Sunan. I will take care of him, as strong as I am. Because that is the only way for Kanjeng Sunan to forgive me and let me know."

"good. Then then. Where is your house actually?"

"I live in Pesantren Ampel."

"Alhamdulillah, so do you santrinya Nak Ampel?"

"Yes, Kanjeng Sunan."

Ainul Yaqin returned to Ampel, with a raging feeling. Confused and not understanding how.

After Ainul Yaqin, Sunan Bungkul called his son, who was chatting with his best friend, in Keputren.

"Wardah, Abah's age is already very old. Abah's one wish is to marry you to a chosen man. The man in charge."

Wardah was shocked.

Soon her eyes were filled with tears.

He had not long received a story from Murtosiyah, that it would be married. Now, he suffers a similar fate.

"I'm moving on to Abah."

Then, Kanjeng Sunan Bungkul recounted the presence of the young santri Ampel, and the pomegranate.

"Here you go, there go back to Keputren, act as a wife-to-be. Take care. Murtosiyah also you take care of yourself, because I heard, he said he would be married too. Perhaps, you two can be friends over long distances. You will be a wife, and you must be devoted to your husband."

Wardah nodded, and parted.

"Murtosiyah, I will also be married," Wardah said.

They immediately embraced. Crying together.

"Who is married to?" ask Murtosiyah.

"I don't know. Clearly, with the young man eating the pomegranate. My future husband said santri Ampel."

l

"I will also be married to Santri Ampel. I just forgot what his name was.

"The word also does not mention where. Maybe I forgot."

"I was told to be prepared, if Abah Murtosiyah had come here with Santri, to marry me. Maybe it's good Murtosiyah also get ready, who knows the wedding time is getting closer. That's what Abah told us."

Finally, they agreed to separate first. To enter the pingitan in each house. Murtosiyah spent time in her room, at the Yellow Ribang palace. While Wardah did the same thing in Bungkul palace.

Ainun Yaqin himself, looking for the right time to convey the greeting of Sunan Bungkul, and will tell the story that happened to him. However, before he found that time, he had already called Sunan Ampel, to the residence.

"Ainul Yaqin, I need to be very important to you. Therefore, I call you home, so that we can talk alone."

Ainul Yaqin.

"Look, if I asked you, would you give?"

"Sure, Kanjeng Sunan Ampel."

"If I told you, what would you do?"

"Sure, Kanjeng Sunan Ampel."

"While I ask for the hard thing?"

"Sure, Kanjeng Sunan Ampel."

"Look at Nak. I spoke to Umi Nyai Karimah. And I have spoken with Murtosiyah, who was on her chest, in the Yellow Ribang there. The point is, I want to marry you to Murtosiyah. For that, as Abah Murtosiyah, I ask you to be willing to marry my daughter. As a teacher, I tell you to marry Murtosiyah. Will you?"

For the sake of hearing this, Ainul Yaqin was shocked and immediately fell down.

Ainul Yaqin fainted.

Sunan Ampel was shocked as well.

However, Kanjeng Sunan Ampel remained seated, waiting until Ainul Yaqin woke up from his stupor.

For a moment, Ainul Yaqin woke up, and immediately sat down in front of the kiai.

"What is it, until you are so shocked that you faint?"

"I'm sorry, Kanjeng Sunan" said Ainul Yaqin, bowing.

Stop for a moment, not continuing his words.

Impressed, there is a very heavy load.

Sunan Ampel remained silent and calm.

"I'm sorry Kanjeng Sunan Ampel. Before, I had experienced an event that required me to make a heavy decision. That is, related to me eating pomegranates that I found at times," said Ainun Yaqin.

For the next, Ainul Yaqin told a complete and detailed story, about his meeting with Sunan Bungkul, and finally willing to marry the daughter of Sunan Bungkul who was blind, deaf, mute and paralyzed.

Kanjeng Sunan Ampel's turn was shocked.

"Allahu Akbar's. So, you promised to marry Princess Abah Bungkul?"

Ainul Yaqin lowered his head, but nodded.

Sunan Ampel got up from his seat. Go see Umi Nyai Karimah.

"Umi Nyai, there is quite a shocking news. I just called Ainul Yaqin in Paseban, and he won't actually refuse all my requests.

It's just that, when I told her that I was going to marry her to our daughter, Ainul Yaqin fell and passed out. After waking up, I asked, how did I pass out? Then he told me that he actually, wanted to tell me, that he had promised Abah Bungkul, to be married to Abah's daughter, named Wardah."

Umi Nyai Karimah just gawked, staring fixedly at her husband.

"Lantas, what's Abah doing?" ask Umi Nyai Karimah.

"Eat him, I was confused too. For that, I came here, to ask for Umi Nyai's opinion."

Umi Nyai Karimah silently thought.

"Of Sunan, if this is God's destiny, and indeed Murtasiyah's soul mate is Ainul Yaqin, that's okay, let's marry our son to Ainul Yaqin."

"Then, what about Abah Bungkul? Does he want his son to have honey?"

"For that, it seems like Abah Sunan should meet Abah Bungkul. Or maybe, we can ask Abah Wiroseroyo for help. I heard that our son is friendly with Wardah. But, is it true that Wardah was paralyzed, blind, deaf, mute as Ainul Yaqin told? Didn't we go to Bungkul first, Wardah is healthy? At that time, Wardah and Murtosiyah were very close. Even they joke very familiar?"

"Well that's it, I don't know. So, Umi Nyai sincerely, if our son, Murtosiyah married Ainul Yaqin? Despite being a second wife?"

"I'm sincere. It is only Murtosiyah that needs to be spoken to."

"Murtosiyah herself, already said, handed over all the affairs of marriage to me. So, it really doesn't matter. God willing, Ainul Yaqin can be trusted and can be fair to his wife."

"All right, then. There, Abah Sunan returns to Ainul Yaqin, and make our decision."

Sunan Ampel returns to Paseban. Sunan Ampel saw that Ainul Yaqin was still looking down.

"Ainul, I have spoken with Umi Nyai Karimah. Our decision, I hope, is that you will continue to accept Murtosiyah as your wife. And you must also keep your promise to Abah Bungkul, marry Wardah."

Ainul Yaqin. Back this he's not spiked. Just scratching your head.

"Oh, that's my decision. Do you mind?".

Ainul Yaqin was silent.

Ainul Yaqin was told to pass.

Sunan Ampel then asked his wife, Umi Nyai Karimah, to visit Nyi Ageng Pinatih's house in Gresik Arab Village. The goal, telling everything, asking for advice, and asking when should Ainul Yaqin's marriage with Wardah and Murtosiyah be carried out.

How fond Nyi Ageng Pinatih, so knowing only this adopted son of his puppet, asked by two Sunan.

"Subhaanallah. This is a gift and mercy from Allah to me. Ananda Aiunul Yaqin will be the son-in-law of two Sunan once. Umi Nyai Karimah, please tell Kanjeng Sunan Ampel, I resigned. Whatever the decision of Kanjeng Sunan Ampel I follow."

Umi Nyai Karimah also, conveyed what it is.

"Alright, then, I'll talk to Abah Bungkul first. When should Ainul Yaqin's wedding take place.

Sunan Ampel did not delay the time to go to Bungkul.

"Allahu Akbar's. So then? My son-in-law's candidate, will Adi Sunan Ampel marry Murtosiyah? They are friendly. Every day, Murtosiyah plays here, or Wardah who plays to the Yellow Ribang. For these times, Wardah sleeps a lot in the Yellow Ribang. I don't know when I'll be back. Actually, Wardah it's me pingit. In connection, he sometimes wants to meet his best friend, yes, all in the Yellow Ribang. Should we call both?"

"No need Abah Bungkul. Let 'em. I want to ask, is it true that Wardah was blind, deaf, mute, paralyzed, as Abah told Ainul Yaqin?"

"Ha ha ha, yes certainly not Adi Sunan. I did it because to test the earnestness of Ainul Yaqin to make up for his mistake of eating pomegranates. Apparently, he was indeed the chosen young man. The proof, he's willing to marry Wardah, who I say is blind, deaf, mute and paralyzed."

Sunan Ampel nodded.

"If I am, it doesn't matter, whether Wardah is an old wife, or young. What is clear is that I just pray that Ainul Yaqin will be fair to his two wives" Sunan Bungkul said, chuckling.

So, the wedding day was discussed seriously, including the place of the wedding.
