We've Been Matchmade
Dinda, We're Happy With Yes!
[What do you want to dowry?] a short message I sent. Not long after Dinda replied.
[I don't want to see Abah anymore. Abah turned out to be more powerful than what I thought all along. Abah does not love me. Abah prefers that woman. I am disappointed in you!] he still has his brother in trouble.
[Yes, later after the wedding stay with me only.]
[Where? Abah and Umi you?]
[Mmmm, what do you want?] I shouldn't have asked that question because I realized I didn't have any savings. But for the comfort of my woman, then I will fight!
[Living apart.] reply Dinda. I finally got the stone too. Can only be silent, approximately how to get money instantly considering the payday date is still half monthly again. [Not answered? Objection huh? Yes, it is up to you!] reply Dinda again
[No objection, just thinking where to find a comfortable place to live for both of us.] I said.
[Thank you Dihya.] He sent a smile emoticon complete with flowers.
Such a woman, if she is privileged even a little can make her happy.
[So what's the dowry?] I again asked for the dowry considering the time of our wedding was just counting the days. While the preparations have not been at all.
[Anything, I have no problem.]
[Jewelry? The magnitude?]
[Just go with Dihya. I'll just come along.]
We both finally agreed to marry into jewelry. Initially only a few grams according to the funds I have, but Umi objected. As an only child, Umi also wanted to give something as a memento for her only son who InshaAllah also only once married a child. Umi will provide jewelry weighing one hundred grams which will be divided into necklaces, bracelets and rings.
"Umi actually pity you two. But this is your choice Dihya, umi can not do anything but follow it." said Umi with teary eyes.
"But I'm sincere, so that Dihya and Dinda get married smoothly" I said.
"Devil!" umi tears finally spilled out as well. The woman who gave birth to me cried while covering her face with both hands. I immediately took the umi in a hug. Hugged it tightly. Letting the earth cry in my arms until finally the cry of the earth subsided as well. "You must be happy, yes." pinta Umi, holding my hand tightly. "You Umi take very good care of Dihya, now is the time for you to take care of your wife and later your children very well. Happy for them, Dihya. Be the man in charge of whatever exams you face. Umi bless you and the Umi prayer will always follow your household journey." advice umi while rubbing my head.

"I accept his marriage and the marriage of Dinda Annisa bint Hasan Budiman with the dowry, cash.” I answered aloud the Ijab spoken by his brother Dinda.
Two witnesses simultaneously pronounce the lawful until the ruler said the same thing.
Today, at this moment, I have gained new responsibilities as husband of Dinda Annisa. All the responsibilities of his father have passed to my shoulders. Not felt, my tears also spilled along with the Umi who tightly grasped my hand.
Not long after Dinda out wearing a long dress syar'i white. She looked down, even so I could see her face with a thin makeup polish but successfully made her more beautiful.
Dinda is in front of me. He grabbed my hand outstretched in front of him.
"Assalamualaikum my wife." I whispered softly near her ear so that Dinda's tense face could smile. "Now that we are husband and wife, let's be happy together!" i said again.
Dinda answered nothing. He was still silent, looking ahead, at the photographer who took the picture of us both
Dinda ... what do you think that looks so tense.
After taking a picture, it was time for sungkem. I go first, bow to Abah and Umi, followed by Dinda. Then it was his turn to shake hands with Abah and his stepmother Dinda. At that moment, Dinda looked angry. He won't even shake hands with his stepmother. The people who were there seemed to understand how the mood of Dinda, so no one forced Dinda to shake hands with the woman who now replaces her mother.
Finished the silence, one by one the members of the extended family from my side and Dinda's side greeted us. Uminya's uncle and aunt Dinda hugged my wife tightly. They're crying. Perhaps he also remembered his birth mother Dinda who was also their brother.
"If your mother were still around, your fate wouldn't be like this. Unfortunately God took my sister so quickly that our only niece he left behind had to go through all the unpleasant things like this." aunt Ani, her sister umi Dinda hugged Dinda. He was the closest to his nephew, so he looked the most sad when he knew our wedding was accelerated and without any event other than just a simple meal.
"Auntie .. I miss umi!" the crying of Dinda became.
I tried to grab Dinda because the atmosphere was getting less conducive.. Insinuations continued to slide from the mouth of the Dinda family from the Uminya side. They still can not accept this kind of event considering that his mother Dinda also had many savings while still alive, even uminya Dinda also fought for the progress of boarding school. But why after the departure of umi Fifi, his brother seemed to want to get rid of Dinda from here.
"Din, I've." I remind you. But Dinda did not care until finally his brother Dinda raised his voice.
"Alright, because the agreement is already underway, our duties as Dinda's parents have been completed and this hall will be used ba'da Ashar later for cottage activities so this event we have ended. For the brothers who have finished eating can go straight back to our house, who have not eaten please be accelerated" said Abah Hasan firmly.
"O Allah Hasan!" aunt Ani screeched. He's shaking his head. But the summoned did not care, waltzing left all the invited guests including Abah and Umi who had just officially become his besi.
Do not want to get carried away with emotions even though it is actually strange also with the attitude of Abah Hasan, so I immediately went to the dining table where food is served. Together with Abah who followed me, we ate though with mixed hearts. While women are still busy. Umi included.
