75 Time to Get Married

As the shaykhona said earlier, that he knew, there were many women who were chasing after his son, after his fame along with Albadar. Especially until there is a tremendous tragedy of slander, launched by Masayu for the sake of his ambition to get Irfan Arafka Wafdan.then in order to prevent his son from continuing slander, sheikhona also mengunajah, ask for guidance from Allah, until he arrives at a decision based on that guidance.

On the other hand, there was a dispute between Ning Zaskia and Farah, regarding the innocent recording of Arafka, in the presence of the handsome young man himself. It was then that suddenly came ustadz Rahman who delivered the message of shaykhona to Arafka to face, and it turned out that he was waiting outside the gate. It is certain that he knew the dispute between two girls who both wanted Arafka.

Moreover, Zaskia, he came to the assumption that the sheikhona will reprimand his ashes related to the event, and then Kyai Fadholi will give him punishment. And of course, Arafka also certainly will not escape the sanctions of the foundation, although he is not the one who made a mistake.

Apparently, all forms of guessing did not occur. There was never anything after that, everything went as usual. At least, this was according to the judgment of all of them. But, it is different from the side of Arafka.

Kyai Abdullah Umar Hashim did not sanction him, nor scolded him. He actually gave his son's encouragement to continue to give thanks, and multiply reading hamdalah. As Arafka bailed to return to the guesthouse, sheikhona asked him.

"How old are you now, son?"

Rafka was slightly stunned by the question. Because the aba must not know how old he is. If he is still asking, there must be a specific purpose behind the question, which may be related to his age.

"Twenty-four years," java Rafka.

"It's time you got married" Sayikhona broke up.

Arafka was shocked, he even dared to look up at the face of the sheikhona. The young man always looked down every time he was in front of him.

"Yes, Son. It's time for you to get married" asserted Shaykhona, for the sake of seeing the questionable face of the son.

Arafka immediately lowered his head, while in his mind all four questions lunged in. Why, why, and for what?

Why is it time to get married? She is 24 years old, too young to get married. His knowledge in the field of religion is also not much. There is still so much he does not know, and there is still much to learn.

Why is it time to get married?

In a small country called a household, a husband is a priest, a leader whose leadership will only be successful if it is based on sufficient ability. While Arafka feels still very layman in this matter. He still can't be a good leader for himself. Then how could he possibly lead his wife and children later.

Then, because of what sheikhona decided to marry, if in everything there is to her it is minimal and limited. Is it because his self-righteousness is dangerous?

Is not the identity of his play boy that he has been canceled and he left in Bali. Arafka traces the land of Alhasyimi with a new figure, a new soul and a new spirit to learn and live an Islamic life in a kaffah.

In Alhasyimi, he kept himself in terms of feelings towards the opposite sex. He was determined not to recognize illegal love, which was not based on marriage. Though praise and flattery are often addressed to him, with a wad of gestures and signs of love.

Why, why, and for what?

"What do you think, son?"

"I obey the decision, Aba," replied Arafka with certainty, although he did not understand at all what the decision to get married meant.

"Alhamdulillah." Shaykhona recites hamdalah while smiling.

"Do you like someone, son?" Ask Shaykhona again.

Subhanallah. Arafka accepted the question with pleasure. Not because he felt free to choose. But, because he felt that from the question indicates if the sheikhona decided to get married immediately, not because he judged his son could not keep himself from unofficial relations in quotation marks, relationships outside of confusion.

"Nothing, Aba," answered Rafka honestly. Because until this moment there is no woman who likes him in full. Because he has no desire to get married.

"May, son, if I chose it for you?" This is a wise question from Shaykhona.

"Of course, Aba," java Rafka immediately.

"Whoever I appoint and choose for you, are you sincere?" Shaykhona like still want to try out the seriousness of his son's heart with his question.

"I am sincere, and I accept whoever is chosen by, Aba for me," Arafka replied more firmly.

Shaykhona hugged her son with pride. For his extraordinary obedience to the aba. And indeed what was decided by kyai Abdullah umar for Arafka, is not a decision that is only original, but a guide that he can pass through the path of istikharah.

Two days later after that afternoon's conversation. Arafka who was about to attend the lecture at the STAI building, was surprised by the arrival of the sheikhona who approached. Just contact the presence of the nanny kyai in the area of the Alhasyimi high school building, enough to create a silence that struck. All of them remained silent in honor of the teacher's presence.

"Son, today I am with your uncles, kyai Mushtofa Tamimi and Kyai Fadholi, I will call a girl for you. Pray well, good luck."

Arafka was stunned by the notice, but immediately nodded. The young man did not expect that soon his brother dropped the choice, so he forgot to ask which area his brother would go.

And in the afternoon, when Ustadz Fadil asked Kyai Fadholi to Ning Zaskia, the beautiful girl said that her brother went to be invited by sheikhona to the Darul Ulum foundation in jember. From there, he found out that his brother went to the Darul Ulum Foundation. But at that time Rafka did not know that Meidina and Davina who were studying at KM was from the foundation.

In the afternoon leading up to the Maghrib, Arafka was summoned to the Fadholi kyai residence in the Alhasyimi branch. The young man was called to the inner room, where there was shaykhona with Kyai Fadholi himself.

Kyai's nanny tells her that they've just come to ask a girl for Arafka. And they were all rejoicing because the proposal had been very well received by the woman's family.

Arafka was silent and lowered her head. He didn't know at the time whether he was happy or not. What he understood in him now raged a very deep curiosity about who and how the woman who had been chosen by his brother.
