Ramadan Without Sua
Akad

A little over a month later, the administration for the registration of Ardhita and Dhito's marriage was completed. Both will be ready to welcome their happy day.

Really just a deal, no big celebration party. All this also to break the spread of the covid chain. Keeping everything safe and in good health is a top priority for both of them.

Now the day that awaited has arrived. Usually when having a celebration, the family will put up a sign that they have a job. Invite neighbors around, or put up a tent. Not so with Ardhita and Dhito. There really is no preparation.

It's just that the two families distribute Boxed Rice and Cake to PRT neighbors only. That was enough, as they considered only bringing Ardhita and Dhito together.

For the preparation of the bride herself, there is also nothing fancy. Ardhita wore only her white kebaya, a naturalist make-up that decorated her face. Meanwhile, Dhito was also just wearing a black suit only. Despite not making a big event, Dhito ordered a bouquet of White Roses for Ardhita. A flower symbolizes the sanctity of both.

"We're going to the Office of Religious Affairs now?" ask Mr. Harja to his daughter and his wife.

"Yes, sir," replied Ardhita.

"The father used to have a dream to marry you to a good event, Javanese customs, and reception. Unfortunately, it has not been able to make it happen well, Ta," said Mr. Harja.

The girl nodded her head. "It's okay, Father. The important thing is that Ardhita and Mas Dhito are legitimate in marriage. It's worth a deal more than the reception party, sir" replied Ardhita.

Listening to what Ardhita said, Mr. Harja nodded his head. Can understand Ardhita's mind. Moreover, the condition also does not allow to hold a massive reception. After all, it is important that Ardhita and Dhito are bound by agreement.

After that, Mr. Harja drives his own car. They were about to head to the Office of Religious Affairs, where they would meet with Dhito and his family. Taking a journey of approximately fifteen minutes, they finally arrived at the Office of Religious Affairs. In front of the Office of Religious Affairs, it was waiting for Dhito and his family.

"The beauty of the daughter-in-law, Mother," said Miss Lastri who judged that Ardhita was so beautiful.

"Thank you, Mother," replied Ardhita.

Whilst Dhito said nothing. All because Dhito was nervous about memorizing akad sentences. Moreover, despite not saying anything, Dhito praised Ardhita in his heart. He knew it was always beautiful.

"Dhito's nervous, huh?" ask Mr. Harja.

"Quiet, I can. Yeah, we're in. Soon I'll be right," replied Mr. Harja.

Finally, they are welcome to enter a room with a penghulu and officers from the KUA office who will take notes and be witnesses for the agreement that took place this afternoon. Mr. Harja also took a seat face to face with Dhito.

"We're from now on" said the penghulu there.

Finally, Mr. Harja shook Dhito's hand and was ready to start a contract. It seems Mr. Harja sighed for a moment and started to marry his own daughter to the man of his heart choice.

Bismilbornrahmanirrahim

"I marry you and marry you Dhito Pratama with my daughter, Ardhita Maesti with a dowry and a set of cash-paid prayers."

Dito began to sigh and tighten his hands. "I accept her marriage and the marriage of Ardhita Maesti bint Harja with a dowry and a set of cash prayer tools."

With confidence, Dhito uttered Qoubul. It is enough to say that the two are united in a valid marriage.

Validly!

The marriage witness said so. All who were there said, "Alhamdulillah ...."

After that, the holy verse is recited. Accompanied by hands cupped in front of the chest. This marriage is very simple, just a contract in the Office of Religious Affairs.

After that, we continued with the marriage book signing. Brown color for husband, and green color for wife. Then, the two smiled looking at the photo of the two of them who were already on the first page of the marriage book.

"Congratulations, Mr. Dhito and his wife. It's legal" said the KUA officer there.

Getting married in KUA is becoming a trend in its own right in pandemic times. Because, this method is considered more able to break the chain of spread of covid. After all, the essence of marriage is commitment. Although it was delayed, now Ardhita and Dhito have been united in a marriage that is sakinah, mawaddah, and warrahmah.
