He's Not The Best
146. Marriage Is Not Legal


Marriage is Invalid


Erlan turned briefly to her right and left rearview mirror, then, pulling her car aside violently, she really did not know what to answer to the woman next to her. Whether he should lie or be frank, because he is in a state of complete error.


If it says there is no love or affection for Hanifa, then it is a lie. For so long together in closeness, even though initially only a sense of compassion, then he will not deny the affection even there.


However, if honest, it can be ascertained if Winsi will choose to leave.


“What kind of answer do you want?” asked Erlan while looking.


“Jawab just what a hard thing!”


Erlan was silent, she lowered her head and placed her forehead on the cubit arm resting on the steering wheel of her car. He thought about his answer, making Winsi feel a little guilty and pity for him. She saw fatigue clearly imprinted on her husband's face.


“Wiwin, I love you it's not a lie ...” Erlan said as she raised her head and leaned her body. He turned his head for a while and pressed the gas pedal again until the car drove back a long time ago, pulled over at a mosque.


The husband and wife worship separately. After he finished, Erlan walked over to Winsi who had just put on a shoe. He clasped his wife's wrist and took her to eat at the Padang restaurant not far from the mosque.


We eat first, Erlan said after ordering, they sit in the seat that is located at the corner, while doing so, Erlan did not let go of his hand for a moment


“Erlan, let's answer my question!” winsi said as she sat next to the man.


“Eat, first.” Erlan said as she let go of her handhold on Winsi.


While eating, the mouths of the two were just busy chewing, in silence. There was no intention of Erlan to answer Winsi's question, right now, only once in a while did she glance at him. In addition, he was busy serving his wife eat, take meat and cut it into small pieces, to be placed on a plate so that she could easily eat it.


“Eat a lot, let's not be skinny!” erlan said, as quipped, because Winsi thinks he's skinny. But for the girl her body is ideal, with a proportional height and weight.


Winsi enjoying the food also enjoyed Erlan's sweet attitude towards her. They have lived together and often dined together but, not with a romantic atmosphere. Although, the restaurant was simple, but Erlan's attitude was very special.


Erlan paid the restaurant owner for the food, after they finished eating the food and asked for permission to stay there even though their dining table had been cleaned.


Seeing Erlan sitting back after paying, made Winsi wonder.


In fact, the one correct attitude when persuading or calming a woman who is upset, desperate, sad, etc., is with food. Yes, by giving her something that women love, including food. That way the woman's feelings will be distracted, at least that's what God teaches in His book, when giving the spirit and motivation to be patient and strong in living the test of his life to Siti Maryam, who is the author of the book, in Maryam's letter.


“Why good again, we don't go home?”


“I want to talk to you, for a moment, later you can think of the answer after arriving at home.” Erlan said as she pulled up the chair, next to Winsi and also pulled the woman's hand to kiss her several times.


“Then, I was in an accident,” he said starting a chat.


“When?”


Erlan remembered the incident right before the graduation day of Winsi, she could not see the happy moment of her little elf because she had to take care of Hanifa whose parents were both victims of an accident along with her. In fact, you could say they died because they avoided hitting him. It all seemed like an unintentional sacrifice.


After learning about Hanifa, Erlan and Arkan agree to continue to keep the girl as a form of humanity only or can be said as a reward.


Winsi immediately remembered that when her school exam ended, she heard that something had happened to Hanifa. However, all the students back then no one knew what had befallen one of his mentors.


“Tania said you've been married to her for a long time? When?” Ask Winsi.


“If not wrong, two months before Dad died.”


Winsi was silent, that meant Erlan had been Hanifa's husband for almost three months and she only knew about it now? Uh! Just the real one. Who knows what the two opposites do every night? Thought Winsi.


Winsi turned his face away while smiling like he was laughing at himself. He has chosen the wrong person, or his love has fallen in the wrong heart? He couldn't accept if he had been lied to for so long.


“Why weren't you honest from the first time?” winsi said while pulling her hand from Erlan's grasp, rude.


“Because I love you!”


“You lied, Lan!”


“I don't want you to be angry, I don't want you to go.”


“Keep, now that I know, how about I go too?”


“I got married because Dad asked for it!”


“Why do you want?”


At that time, Erlan had no reason to refuse, especially because Hanifa just kept calling him Pap and hugging him even the girl often asked for a sling. So he thought it was better to be husband and wife.


“You think your marriage is legitimate, Lan?”


“You mean?”


“Try thinking, all worship requires people who do it must be adults, puberty, reasonable, healthy body soul. There is rukhsoh or lightening for the sick .. but, not for the mentally ill.”


“So, you're saying I'm now illegitimate to be Hanifa's husband?”


“Can be, time, who should be a witness only in demand for a healthy body soul, but who married ya crazy?”


Erlan quiet.


“The marriage is clearly worship, even perfecting half the religion, how would it be perfect to marry a crazy wife? Means you're crazy too, huh, Lan?” Winsi laughs.


“What? You're kidding, aren't you, Win?”


At that time Erlan remembered the story of a tabiin, a man who was Sholeh, who married a woman, while the father of the girl said that his son was mute, blind, deaf, and had no hands and feet. Is not marriage valid in the eyes of religion until both have children. However, in fact, she is a perfect woman because physical disability is a figure of speech that indicates she is a Sholeh woman.


“Try it, you think yourself!” wasi.


“Come! Then we have to find the solution!”
