A SPECK OF LIGHT (Handle of Good-Loving Love)
25. Darling

In Islam, marriage is not just about the relationship of men and women who are legally recognized by religion and state law, and not just about the biological needs of men and women, but marriage in Islam is closely related to the condition of the human soul, spirituality (born and inner), human values, and the existence of a truth.

Not only that, marriage in the view of Islam is an obligation of domestic life that must follow the teachings of faith and devotion to Allah. This is in line with that stated in Article 1 of Law Number 1 Year 1974 concerning Marriage, the, which reads “marriage is an inner birth bond between a man and a woman as husband and wife with the aim of forming a happy and eternal family (household) based on the Supreme Godhead Esa.”

And from that, then, marriage or marriage can be said to be one of the good or commendable human behavior that has been created by God Almighty with the aim to make human life better. In addition, a good marriage can also make the husband and wife relationship more harmonious and happiness will approach.

"Sister."

"Hem, please get me that piece of tomato dong."

"More. Good cooking for a wife." Soldiers blinked one eye making Adzilla glare.

"Oh my goodness, brother. Soon we are married is still fierce." added Askar again while doing what Adzilla said.

They were both in the kitchen of Joseph's father's house preparing lunch. As usual, if you want to see Adzilla, Soldiers will go directly to the house of Joseph's father after going home to sell at the Market.

Soldiers noticed Adzilla was carrying a pot to the bathroom. He wanted to help but his heart refused.

"As. Take a shower, I've prepared warm water for your bath."

Soldiers shook their heads at Adzilla's words. How come?

"Sister, you make me look like a real child." she said.

Look, instead of persuading a smile and then sit in front of her. But his speech warms the heart.

"Benefits of bathing with warm water for health because the skin is able to release endorphins when moistened with warm water. Therefore, a warm bath can provide a therapeutic and refreshing effect. Blood flow to the skin increases."

"There are many benefits of a warm bath, As. But it is actually better to take a warm bath before going to bed at night. Later if we're married, I'll be ready for you."

It turned out that the way to persuade Adzilla was able to make his heart bend its knees again. This is what Adzilla Rahma likes. Women are not like women out there who will cry or whine to be forgiven or even return angry when their partner is angry.

He likes Adzilla. "Kissing agent, can you?"

"When you marry more than that, you can too. Now shower. Father and children will be home soon. I finished cooking first."

But the soldiers can't wait for that day. Repeating habits during contact with Adzilla. In the old ketchup the end of three fingers and then attached to Adzilla's forehead.

"Oh, I love that." grumbled Adzilla but her cheeks blushed over the treatment of Soldiers.

"I can't wait to know. I'll take a shower." Soldiers enter the bathroom which is still one room with a kitchen.

After the engagement of the two men, Soldiers more often visited the house of Joseph's father during the day because it was the only time he had.

"Sister, towel." she cried opening the bathroom door a little.

This is not like in the story of the novel or other soap opera that will attract or show off the body of the male protagonist.

The soldier actually opened a little door that only his hands could get out of the door. He was also ashamed and appreciated Adzilla.

"Thank you." The soldiers immediately closed the door. Elusan in the chest because he always felt nervous when adjacent to his fiancee.

Look at his dirty clothes. He quickly washed the clothes. It could be embarrassing if Adzilla washes her underwear.

"Papi.." Sania's cheers made Soldier smile near Sania peeked at the little gadia's cheeks and then kissed Satria's head and sat across from Sania.

"Why do you wash your clothes, As?" adzilla asked while taking food for Joseph's father, his two children, and finally for the Army.

"What's wrong, brother. I don't want you to bother." said Soldier while taking Adzilla's plate to fill with food.

"That's too much, As."

The soldier chuckled and apologized. He reduced the rice that had been taken and vegetables and side dishes according to Adzilla's intrusion.

Joseph's father smiled at the interaction of the two. There is a sense of calm in the heart to see how Soldier so seem to love his daughter and two grandchildren.

They had lunch after praying under Satria. Everyone ate in silence other than Satria and Sania because the brother had to answer every question of the sister. If not, then it can be sure Satria will be disturbed continuously.

...****...

"Sister, there's something I want to talk to you about" Soldier said as he finished lunch. Now the two were on the porch of the house while Adzilla's two children were asleep and Joseph's father said to go out.

Adzilla just nodded.

"Actually my dear brother and my love are not, anyway? it's so sweet there's no spoiling."

Soldiers gawked at Adzilla laughing. Is it true that the woman who has been titled as her fiance has no feelings for him?

"Why think like that?"

"Oh my brother, the attitude of the brother can be valued by readers if the brother does not love me and love me. I'm the only one who's like that."

Adzilla seemed to be breathing. "Are my actions not enough to answer your question, As?"

The soldier shook his head because he thought it was more than enough. "Sister, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm gonna ask you how we're gonna be."

He smiled when Adzilla smiled. Just know if he was nervous adjacent to Adzilla.

"I want it to be simple, As. May I have a contract at the mosque?"

The soldier nodded because Adzilla's request was so easy and it was his wish.

"Wouldn't we not if we're married, we contract our own house?" ask Soldier carefully because he did not want to feel if he separated Adzilla from Joseph's father.

But seeing Adzilla's smile made her feel calm again.

"certain. I'll follow where you want. And can you not call me brother again? I look old when I'm still called brother and husband-to-be."

Soldiers could not help but laugh because of Adzilla's sour face and speech. It was very difficult for her to change that vocation because as a form of her respect for Adzilla. But the woman's words have a point.

"Well, from now on I call you darling."
