Galang still could not believe if Airin would be made the second wife of a Gus. In Islam, you are allowed to marry up to four times. It's just that in modern times like today, being the second it is considered as a bad actor and woman because it goes into the household of another woman to become queen.
Both of his hands were firmly clenched. He had retreated alon-alon because he must have lost competitiveness with morality and religion from Gus Ipul. But at this time of course that is not what Galang means. Her determination becomes more to get Airin's love because not all women want to be made second or duaakan.
"Aba .. Please explain!" lirih Galang still held back his emotions.
Ustadz Jefri was still staring straight ahead without a word for a while. Galang saw the look on the face of sadness and he did not dare to ask anything more because the previous question had no answer. Galang was eager to urge ustadz Jefri to immediately explain what he had just said a few minutes ago.
"How can a father be willing to make his son second?" batin Galang is still trying to hold back his emotions.
Long enough they both kept quiet with their own thoughts, until finally Ustadz Jefri also let out a long sigh several times and heard a sound of Istighfar shrieked by Galang. Ustadz Jefri bowed as if he were thinking of a heavy burden.
"So, what can I help you with? Doesn't Airin want to get married? I will help anything for Aba and Aba's family to be happy. I'm here right now because of Aba, so .. tell me what can I do, Aba?" tanya Galang ventured.
"You're right, son. Aba did not want Aba's son to be his second wife. Moreover, the marriage was not because of love because Airin was not interested at all with men who had married. Airin is too good to sacrifice. Aba fears she is suffering from being a second wife. Or it could be that he was later banished after giving the offspring. All this is just because of Aba's debt." Arcing the eyes.
"debt? Debt with ustadz Jefri? Or debt to your child? How much until Aba had to sacrifice Airin's happiness and make him his second wife, Aba?" tanya Galang was a little carried away by emotions.
Ustadz Jefri stared at Galang. To be honest, this is not the will of Ustadz Jefri. There was no word, however, as the two stared at each other. A few seconds later, Ustadz Jefri again looked straight ahead after sipping mineral water to relieve the throat that had been tight since it held back crying.
"Three years ago Airin was sick and had to have surgery for appendicitis. His life was hardly helped. Aba has issued all Aba savings and even savings to go umroh, but it turns out Airin has not been declared fully healed and must seek road treatment. Aba borrow money ustadz Hafiz 15 million. After a year we got back up, unfortunately at that time Aba was in an accident and had to be operated on because the blood vessel broke. Aba almost had a stroke. Praise be to Allah, He will be healed. But Aba's debt became 50 million because Aba was then unable to do anything for six months."
Galang really listened carefully to what was being told by Ustadz Jefri. Galang was also sad because it turns out that the cypress family that he considered always getting happiness had a difficult time. Galang should not feel like the world's most unfortunate person, right!
Ustadz Jefri again took a sighfar and breathed a heavy sigh. His eyes were dewy, but with all his strength he held back that the clear liquid did not fall on his cheeks. After a while he looked back at Galang and patted his shoulder. The smile is clearly visible. Galang could only return that smile with a sweet smile.
"Airin immediately agreed when Ustadz Hafiz expressed the request because Airin knew that Aba would have trouble paying our debts. Even all the livestock we have will not be enough if sold. Aba couldn't do anything when Airin forced us to agree."
Ustadz Jefri also moved and returned with his sickle because the grass bag for goat feed was not full. He also did not want to get carried away and made him look weak in the eyes of Galang. Although actually Ustadz Jefri was very weak because it could not prevent the marriage of his only child to become a second wife.
"Aba ... How do I get that kind of money fast? I'll help, Aba." Galang. Ustadz Jefri turned around and returned a bland smile.
"That's it. That money cannot be earned in a short time. You work banging bones all day also stuck one day only 100-150 thousand. How many years do you want to spend on that money, son?" Ustadz Jefri does look resigned. But Galang's determination was already round. Not only because of Airin, but because he also felt he owed his life to Jefri's family.
"Aba ., there is no God who is all-giver. I remember a little if often read sholawat then our business will be easier. Why is Aba so pessimistic? Does Aba doubt the greatness of God? Nothing is impossible for God, Aba. Aba said what we would ask God to give. I'll try Aba. Aba can ask for time on ustadz Hafiz if I will pay off the debts, Aba."
"Astaghfirullah ...." Ustadz Jefri looks teary and pronounces Istighfar several times. What Galang said is all true. He was also moved by Galang's determination and goodwill. But there was an agreement between him and Ustadz Hafiz.
"Aba .. I'm sure I can help, Aba. I believe I can save Dek Airin from that unexpected marriage" Galang said. Ustadz Jefri smiled. This time the smile was different from before.
"We finish looking for the grass first. Later we discuss at home, the hunt is hotter if we delay again." Galang nodded and took his scythe and went back to look for grass with Abati.
"Please be calm .. I am willing to drop my pride for your sake. Perhaps it is time for a Galang Prakoso to submit to Baskoro, "the inner Galang with both hands clenched. Of course it is not big money if Galang asked his Papa. But Galang will try first before he really drops his pride.
