When Love Is Afflicting

When Love Is Afflicting
Allowable


In the house of Ustadz Bilal, the family had gathered all together, so it made the house very rame in filled with the uncles and wives of his wife, as well as the cousins Annisa, and the nephews.


"Why are you so sure to marry Annisa?. She is still in school, and her future husband is still in school" said one of Annisa's uncles named Reyhan.


"Many things I've considered to make that decision. Besides Annisa's ready to get married, I'm doing this for Yasmin too. I don't want to, until my two daughters like the same guy for the second time. I'd better marry one of them. And coincidentally, Shaka came to see me, and intended to marry Annisa" replied Ustadz Bilal.


"Married young is not a bad thing. I think getting married at a mature age does not guarantee a happy home life. It all depends on the maturity of the husband and wife undergoing marriage. For example, me and Sirin. Thank God, we are still able to maintain our household until now. Yes, whose name is household, there will definitely be quarrels in it. It depends on each of us, how we react. Importantly, whatever the case may be, talk about it after the emotions have subsided" Uncle Annisa told Arsen.


"Yes yes! you are the most right" said Reyhan a little careless with his sister.


Ustadz Bilal, who had failed in building a household, could only shut up and take a slow breath. Pray in your heart that none of your children will experience the same.


While busy chatting while waiting for guests who are waiting. Shortly after, the sound of a car was heard from outside the house. Ustadz Bilal immediately stood up from his seat, stepping his feet towards the entrance of the house, to greet his special guests.


And sure enough, outside the house, Shaka and his family had gotten out of the car, and stepped towards the terrace of the house.


"Assalamu aleikum!" said Mrs Drabia smiling kindly.


"Greetings hallaikum!" answered Ustadz Bilal with Umi Hani who came to follow him to the door to welcome the Shaka family. Umi Hani also touched Bu Drabia's hand, and they hugged each other and did cipika cipiki.


"Come please come in!" said Umi Hani, after taking off her embrace, then welcomed Salwa who stood behind Ms. Drabia.


"Assalamu aleikum Aunty" said Salwa kindly.


"Greetings, come on in, Annisa's still in her room." Umi Hani pulls Salwa's arm in, and tells her to follow Annisa into the room.


"Then Salwa went to Annisa's room first, Auntie" said Salwa, and left immediately.


"Cabin!" call Umi Hani to her sister-in-law.


"Yes Kak" replied the woman in her thirties.


"Please get a drink prepared on the kitchen table yes" told Umi Hani.


"Both my dear sister" Sabina replied to her slight smile, after which she turned her face flat.


Umi Hani stepped her feet towards Ustadz Bilal, and sat her body beside her husband.


"Where is my man candidate?" ma'am Drabia had not seen Annisa in the room.


"Still in the room, I already told Salwa to bring her here" replied Umi Hani commenting on her smile.


"So her future husband Annisa, Ferel's friend" said Uncle Annisa named Darren.


"Yes, Om" Shaka smiled happily.


"That's it, like Om knows your face. You're the one who goes to Om's room often? together, what's the name of your other friend?" asked Uncle Darren forgot the name of one of his son's friends, Ferel.


"Calix, Om" Shaka replied.


"Yes, that" replied Uncle Darren.

Inside the room, the newly-prepared Annisa is in makeup, constantly pecking her face on the mirror glass on the dresser. Although her face is a cabi, but it looks beautiful and sweet. What else is in the make oper like this. Her beauty multiplied many times. But there was something strange on her beautiful face. The aura of her beauty tonight was not shining, like it was covered in black clouds.


Annisa, who was called, turned to Salwa who entered her room.


"Wow! you are very beautiful" praised Salwa, admiring the beauty of his best friend, even though his best friend's body is not slim. But that's not a benchmark for being a beautiful woman.


"If not beautiful, not Annisa's name" replied Annisa commenting on her smile.


"It's a good thing you're beautiful, so it's okay to praise yourself" Salwa replied."Hasna's not coming?."


"She was still on the road with Calix" Annisa replied.


"Are they?" ask Salwa again.


"I don't know, maybe yes, maybe not" Annisa replied.


"Annisa, let's go down, everyone's waiting downstairs."


Annisa's reflexes turned towards the middle-aged pulmonary woman who gave birth to her. Then Annisa nodded her head and stood up from her seat.


Dug dug !


Suddenly Annisa's heart thumped, as Furqon's shadow flashed through her mind.


'Bismillbornrohmanir rohim!' inner Annisa, when going to step her feet out of the room, led by Salwa and Mama Aqeela.


'O Allah, the substance that turns my heart back, establish that my faith is always in the teachings of the MU Religion O God' Inner Annisa. Pray for God to confirm his intention, to start a new life with a man named Shaka, and there is no doubt in his heart.


Arriving at the bottom of the house, Annisa was immediately greeted by Mother Drabia, bringing her to stand in the middle of the family.


"You are indeed very beautiful and sweet.It is fitting that my son wants to get married quickly" said Mother Drabia, stroking soft chin Annisa.


"Shaka, come here, son!" call Bu Drabia to his son.


Shaka, who was sitting next to Mr. Ansel, stood with a jewelry box in his hand.


"Let's love, now it's your turn to propose to Annisa directly" said Bu Drabia, leading Shaka to stand face to face in front of Annisa who had lowered her head earlier.


"Yes Ma" Shaka reviewed his smile, then let out a long sigh before speaking to Annisa.


"Bismillbornrohmanir Rohim. Allohumma solli a la sayyidina Muhammad, wa ala Alihi sayyidina Muhammad. May we all intercede in the hereafter, amen!." Shaka took his breath again. Honestly, Shaka is very stubborn at the moment.


"Before proposing to Annisa, I must thank Mr. Ustadz Bilal, Umi Hani, Aunt Aqeela, and all the families gathered here. Who has given me his blessing, to propose to Annisa tonight. I say thank you very much again. And also Thank you to Mama and Papa who also support and bless Shaka to marry the Woman I love." Shaka shed his tears at the end of his sentence.


"Congratulations Shaka Ma, Pa. So that Shaka will become a responsible husband. Pray for us, so that we can achieve the Ridho of ALLAH in sailing the household ark later" said Shaka again.


Ms. Drabia who was still standing beside Shaka, stroked the soft elus on her son's back from behind.


"And once again, I ask permission and blessing of Mr. Ustadz Bilal and all the families who are here, to apply for Annisa to be my wife. Please Permit Mr. Ustadz" Shaka said once again.


"Where is Ustadz Bilal allowed to propose to Annisa tonight?" ask Ms. Drabia again.


"Allowed" replied Ustadz Bilal smiling.
