Wedding Ceremony 1

After she finished praying, Linda turned to face her daughter and daughter-in-law. Seeing that, Rima and Ira immediately kissed the back of Linda's hand. Then it was answered with a soft elusan on the heads of the two.

"Welcome to this family, son, " said Linda as she looked at her new daughter-in-law's face.

"Thank you for accepting Rima as part of this family. Guide Rima, yes Aunt, because it is still common about the household, "pinta Rima.

"Well, how do you still call Auntie, anyway? You're already a son-in-law. So, from now on call Ummi, yes, "protest Linda.

"Eh, i. yes, Tan, uh Ummi, " replied Rima nervously.

"Not to be shy and nervous, Rim. You should get used to calling me Ummi, " Linda said with an amused smile at her shy daughter-in-law's behavior.

Ira's coming, "Calm down, brother. There is Ira. Ira is now a sister. If A Daffa can say something like Ira, let's help the tabokines."

"Hus, how about your brother. Disrespectful, "reprove Linda to her daughter.

Ira nodded and closed her mouth. Linda shook her head.

"How dare you, never get along with your brother. Just a little."

"Finally, A Daffa was ignorant, annoying, " complained Ira, scowling.

"But, your brother is loving you, like to take care of you, very protective even. If you come home a little late your brother immediately panicked nyariin."

"Yes, yes, yes." cut Ira not to argue anymore in front of Rima.

"Tell me, Daffa is Ira, Rim. Rich Tom and Jerry alone, fighting continues. One was ignorant and the other was sensian bin moodian. Just keep on rame, huh. Make it hot."

"Mi, already, ah, don't talk A Daffa continuously. The nose of the kempis again pinched." Ira protest scowled.

But not long his gaze turned to his sister-in-law, then smiled happily, and then,

"Ira is very happy, Kak Rima is now my real brother, not only at school. From the beginning Ira wanted to have a sister who can be invited to vent, play, shop, anyway exclamations so, "said Ira spirit.

Rima smiled, "Sister is also happy, kok, have a chatty and funny sister rich you. I have not had a brother all this time. Understand the only child. Sometimes I like to be lonely too. But since knowing you and close Brother already consider you like a sister. Uh, not expected to even be a real sister. A soul mate is unpredictable, yes."

Both cuddle. Linda just smiled looking at the two.

Linda Nimbrung, "Yes, that's what a soul mate is. It is all in God's hands. Sooner or later we will meet, either way. God is the one who moves. Just imagine, Ummi with your mother has been separated since graduating high school and lost contact as well. Suddenly we met again a few months ago without thinking. Come to Ummi's shop. And who would have thought you met at one school, you and Ira. From there, Ummi's heart was moved to match you with Ummi's child, uh it turns out your mama felt moved too. So connected. It was all arranged at the right time by God,"

The two girls in front of him were just beards hearing Linda's description.

"But even so, the soul mate still has to be sought, because it is still in the area that we can work. That is, we can choose someone who is best according to us and also according to God. That's important, not based on our own. Not that waiting for a soul mate to come alone, it still has to be picked up. But not by dating, yeah. Remember, this is very much the case for you, Ira." Tukas Linda while glancing at her daughter with a sharp look. A strong warning to him.

"In Islam it is strictly forbidden that men and women have close relationships before marriage. Hatta it with the reason of friends doang. For the only relationship that God desires between man and woman is only through marriage. Outside it cannot be, unless there is a nash or verse that is syar'i allowed. Such as teachers and students, employers and employees, doctors and patients, sellers and buyers. Even so there are still limits, they relate as needed, outside it is not allowed.

"No doubt, whose name is alone unless accompanied by mahram, khalwat or mixed between men and women without any need that is allowed syar'i, berpatruj or decorated with the aim to attract the attention of the opposite sex, for women must wear syar'i clothes, namely a broad robe or long clothes and cover the entire body except the face and palms, and the, and the khimar or veil, the cloth that covers the head to the breast, that's the minimum."

"Therefore, Ummi, Abi, Mama, and Papa you agree to immediately marry you to an ummi child. Fear of something unwanted. Understand the association of young people today, so free. Agung-matang already dating then free to do anything including prohibited relationships, namely adultery. Such acts include acts of fahishah or destructive. It is not yet valid in the eyes of God. It can damage the offspring, as well as damage the order of society, even though Islam is very guarding it. That's why Islam governs in such a way about the relationship between these two genders hear so detailed, clear, and firm."

"Think of being complicated, too, yeah. So if we can't date, how can we know his nature and character? Later if you choose wrong how, Mi? Rich buy a cat in a sack, dong. Ih, don't want to, ah, "ask Ira curiously.

"Actually not that drag either, Ra. Islam comes with a set of rules precisely to facilitate all human affairs. All of that is a clue to us. Like a computer if there are no instructions how to run it, how can it be used? Just look at people who are clumsy aka stuttering technology, until anytime will not be able to run it. But different people who want to follow the instructions and diligently learn, certainly can and right, fast jago. If only the origin, do not want to follow the instructions how to use it, yes can Heng, deh it's the computer. What do you mean by Ummi, Ra?"

"Yes, Mi" Ira replied.

"Keep, how long does it take to get to know our potential mate?" Ira asked with a serious look.

"Yes, there really is no limit to how long the period of ta'aruf and sermon is. Like your brother and Rima, they didn't take long to get to know each other. Moreover, there are trusted people who can be used as references about each candidate. The closeness of you and Rima is quite a consideration A Daffa finally want to get married. Plus the closeness of Ummi with Mama Rima since the days of High School, including with Papa Rima who is our upperclassman. Ummi knows them well. I see, okay?" ask Linda.

"Yes, Mi" Ira replied.

"Eh, by the way, the feeling from earlier you were very active. Enthusiasm talks about this. Well, maybe you've already been targeted, huh?" accuse Linda of suspicion.

"Ih, Ummi is so su'udzon that, anyway," Ira upset.

"Not that, Ira just wanted to know the science, Mi. Before you actually meet a soul mate. Ira hasn't thought at all, though. Especially thinking of men, it's far away, deh. After all, it is better to know the knowledge first before things happen that are not desirable. If you already know, Ira so know the boundaries of association between men and women. Keep on taking care of yourself."

"Yes, that's it. Good if you have not thought, you better focus on learning first. That's your job now. Not yet time to talk soul mate. But if you want to know the knowledge is certainly better, "said Linda while stroking her daughter's head.

"Ready, Boss!" answer Ira kocak. Then, Ira cuddled with the woman who had given birth to her.

While hugging, Daffa suddenly rebuked, "Well, what is this, what are the rich hugs of Teletubbies?"

"Didih, Aa nih, sirik only. Just say you want to join in the hug too, "live Ira while opening her eyes at Daffa. Rima held back a laugh seeing the fierce expression her sister-in-law showed her husband.

"Eh, it's home, anyway. Unheard of entry, "greet Linda when she saw her husband and two sons walking up to them. Linda stood up to her husband and kissed the back of his hand.

"From the greetings, no one answered. Uh, apparently again at the gathering here, "sahut Wirawan rada frowned.

"Sorry, we just finished praying together here, keep chatting for a while, " Linda explained.

Finally the five gathered in this hall of mushalla. Wirawan sat to the right of his wife who was empty, while Raihan immediately sat on his lap. Daffa sat beside Rima, while Ira was still unmoved, remaining in her seat while hugging Umminya.

At first they had a light conversation, joking with each other. Seeing the familiarity created in this family made Rima feel the novelty and envy to see it. Because all this time he really misses the warmth with his brother, even though both parents always bestow full affection and attention for him.

Slowly, Wirawan began to talk more seriously to his newlyweds, son and son-in-law.

"Daffa, Rima, Abi congratulate you on your marriage,

" Baarakallahu laka wa baarakaa alaika wa jamaa bainakumaa fii khoir.”

"May God bless you, both in joy and sorrow, and always gather you both to goodness."

Surely the good in the world and the hereafter.

"Message Abi to Daffa, be a good and responsible husband. First, guide your wife to the way of God in a kind, gentle way. Never ask him to do what Allah forbids. If that happens, your wife can very well not obey you. For there is no obedience to a creature in the service of Allah. Hatta was to her own husband. Keep your wife from sinning. Guard yourself and your family from the torment of hell."

"Two, treat your wife well, never do wrong to her, hurt her, burden her with something beyond her means. The relationship between husband and wife is like two friendly people. Both strengthen and complement each other."

"Three, fulfill the birth and inner living in a good way. In seeking sustenance, always try to find it in a halal way, both in substance and how to get the sustenance. As for the inner living, also fulfill it in the best possible way. Your wife is a field where you grow crops. From her womb your children will be born."

"Fourth, take care of your wife's disgrace. Whatever your wife lacks, don't talk to anyone else, except in order to find a solution. And it must be told to the right people, who are able to provide solutions, rather than being spread to many people. Especially until the status update in medsos, vent carelessly. Because your wife is like clothes to you, so are you clothes to your wife. Do you like if your wife's clothes are exposed in front of others, until her aura is visible? Not willing, is it?"

"Fifth, give your calm, love, and affection to your wife, then the household we often desire will be achieved, namely a marriage in which filled with a sense of calm or peace, then the house we often desire will be achieved, love or vows, and Grace, or compassion. That's samara."

"The bottom line is, you must always remember that from the moment you speak the marriage contract before the ruler, the witnesses, and all those present this morning, from then on the responsibility that his father Rima had borne, became transferred to your hands, which will be held accountable before God at the end of the day. Heaven and hell are in your hands. For in fact you have reasoned before Allah, swearing in the name of Allah, who can shake His Throne. Then frame your household with piety."

"This is Abi's message to you Daffa. And now, for Rima."
