ADJOINING REALM
HALAL

This morning time stopped, Darto's ears felt deaf, his chest was pounding so hunting, his breathing was short-pressured and his hands could not stop shaking. Darto was really nervous, his whole body felt numb like a torpor at this time.

"Qobiltu nikahaha wa tazwijaha bil mahril madzkur haalan," (I accepted his marriage and marriage with the dowry mentioned) said Darto with a straight look at Kakung. He answered a series of Arabic words that Kakung said while shaking his right hand. Darto seemed so steady in answering Kakung's sentence, even though all eyes were staring at him who was sitting side by side with Harti inside the pesantren mosque.

"Huh?" kakung asked as he swept his eyes looking at the dozens of pairs of eyes sitting behind Darto and Harti.

"Well....!" sahut all witnesses who are watching the final procession of the marriage of Darto and Harti simultaneously. They also felt the joy of a bond by cheering and laughing to see Darto put on a face sumringah.

"Alhamdulillah...!" yell at everyone simultaneously.

The nervous feeling that Darto felt immediately vanished, a feeling of relief propagated from the crown to the tip of his foot. Darto was so content to be able to say a sentence he had memorized for days, without the slightest mistake in his pronunciation.

For the first time, this morning Darto's hand was held by his royal girl. Harti shook Darto and immediately kissed the back of his hand. His heart was beating again, feeling ready to escape from his chest at that moment. A feeling so intense, was immediately present inside his chest. Not to mention when Kakung told Darto to kiss Harti's forehead in front of everyone. The cheeks of Darto and Harti immediately brushed, a sense of heat immediately perched on their faces, to the extent of the ears.

Darto was so clumsy, as was his partner. They are both like robots that have rust in each of their joints. Their bodies moved stiffly, especially when Darto's lips were so close to the face filled with makeup belonging to Harti.

"Kiss.. Kiss.. Kiss..," cried all the witnesses. Accompanied by cries of Bidin and Surip saying the same word, they cheered for Darto to immediately kiss his legitimate wife, with the loudest voice among the other witnesses.

Degs.. Degs.. Degs.. Degs..

Darto seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, his voice was so loud, as if his heart was beating right in front of his own eardrum. His breathing was short-pressured again, when he saw Harti who was originally looking at him with a shy face, now started to close his eyes and slightly lowered his head, presenting his forehead to the man who had just tied himself up with a promise.

Silent....

Silent...

In an instant the noise disappeared, Darto could hear nothing more than his own heartbeat. His gaze did not care at all about what was around him. Darto looked straight at Harti's face, which was closing his eyes, right in front of his face.

Slowly Darto pushed his face forward, landing a small kiss on his wife's forehead. And when his lips touched Harti's forehead, a noise immediately came gushing into his ears. Darto came back clumsy and pulled his face away from Harti's face in a hurry. Darto really felt very embarrassed, his face was so hot, seemed ready to explode right then and there.

Seeing Darto so embarrassed, everyone who witnessed the Darto debate immediately woke up. They laughed off in a slightly mocking tone, after seeing Darto's cheeks and ears turn red.

After a long time of shame, Darto and Harti went to the place where Si Mbah and his parents were sitting behind Kakung. Darto embraced Si Mbah with gratitude and also happy. In his arms Darto buried his face in Mbah Turahmin's chest, he cried as he said "Thank you, Mbah. I've been patient in taking care of and caring for Darto until now."

The Mbah immediately tightened his embrace, he could no longer hold back the water that had been accommodated long enough above his eye bags. The crying broke right then and there, both from the bride and her parents. They were all drifting in a heartwarming momentum, on a happy day they would never forget.

After Darto finished, only a few minutes later Kakung again said Arabic sentences to two people who will be united. This time Bidin and Siti. They looked as nervous as Darto, but everything went well. Bidin actually said the sentence Qabul loudly and without error. He even kissed Siti with so much confidence. Darto and Surip immediately looked up at Bidin who had no shame at all.

After Bidin and Sri finished, Kakung again said the sentence that was always spoken by the ruler in front of Surip and Gayatri. Surip was completely pale, he was so nervous that his lips trembled when he said Qabul. Looking at Surip's face, Darto and Badin were blown away until a clear water droplet came out of their eyes. They both mocked Surip in a loud voice to make all the witnesses laugh to hear their words.

Being so nervous, Surip had already repeated the short sentence he had memorized for days twice. Kakung even to the point of seeing Surip who said the phrase qabul with trembling lips, as well as the two parents Surip and Ki Karta, respectively, they were also excited to see Surip's ridiculous behavior in front of them.

"If one is wrong again, the marriage is postponed you know, Sur," Kakung sneered at Surip who was so embarrassed because he had been wrong twice in a row. Then Kakung again said "Pull your breath first, rather than the marriage being postponed."

Hearing that, Surip immediately sighed so long, he tried to calm down, while continuing to repeat the sentence he was about to say.

After a long time, the atmosphere returned to silence. All the witnesses were silent, they put an ear to what Surip was going to say. And finally Surip managed to recite the qabul fluently on the third occasion. He even jumped straight from his seat when everyone said it was legitimate, and also immediately held Gayatri's face and continued to kiss her forehead without waiting for the cue.

Everyone was really excited to see Surip. They all laughed until clear circles continued to flow from their eye bags, after seeing Surip's action was so funny on his wedding day.

That day was a very happy day for three friends of Darto. In addition to Surip and Bidin, Anto also felt the same way as the three of them. Anto was really very moved to see Darto, considering that only Darto was the only friend left. The friend who had accompanied him grew up, with his two friends who had long gone home first.

Anto immediately looked up, occasionally he rubbed the clear water that flowed down his cheeks. His gaze stared at the ceiling of the mosque, but his mind glared far through the roof of the mosque. In the haru moment that he felt, he showed off a row of teeth while muttering "Dining.. Saty.. You can see Darto too, right? From there?"
