Butaku's Wife

Butaku's Wife
Marriage to a foreigner


I'll take care of Nayya. I'm responsible.” Sahut Habib on the sidelines of talks.


Nayya's father looked up at Habib. “What can you do ha?” Tanna was half-snarled.


“I will marry Nayya and take care of her. I will be his eyes, feet and hands at once. I will promise to make her happy.” Said firmly. He was determined to be responsible. He does not want to live full of regrets.


Nayya's father looked at Habib cynically. “You caused my son to be like this, and you want my son to marry you. Your dream...!” Shouted Nayya's Father.


“Dad. “ Say Mother Nayya. She whispered something in her husband's ear. ‘ Just leave dad. Let Nayya take care and care if we are no more. We can't keep going like this. Who wants to marry a Nayya like this. Mother does not want Nayya to be a spinster.’ His whisper.


“Tpi Bun..”


“This is the decision of Mommy.” Sekak Bunda Nayya's. He just does not want Nayya to live an unaccompanied kara, not to mention if they die, he does not want his favorite child to live alone, lonely and sad.


“Good. But I want you to get married right now as proof if you're really serious.” Nayya's father's decision was firm.


Nayya was shocked by that. He wants to be married to someone he does not know at all, his face is not known. How come?. “Dad. Nayya does not want to get married. It's okay.” Her speech.


“This is the decision of Mother and father Nay.” Reply Mother.


“But bun. Nay didn't want to marry out of pity or responsibility. Nayya does not want to go. Let him marry with his choice, if you are afraid that Nayya will not propose, mother do not be afraid, because the soul mate is written on the siteulmahfuz.” Answer Nayya firmly.


“This is Nay's father's decision. You can't argue!” Say Nayya's father firmly.


Habib looked at Nayya's parents sure. He looked at Umi and Abinya for approval. “You sure nak?” Uminya Tyan.


“Insyaallah Mi. By permission of Allah.” Habib said sure he wasn't sure.


“How about Khumairo?” Kyai asked Abu quietly, afraid that the Nayya family heard.


Habib was silent for a moment. Honestly, Khumairo is the girl he loved so far. But now the problem is not love, but responsibility!


“Later Habib will face Khumairo and explain everything. Habib was sure he would be sincere. Habib did not marry her either. Maybe all this is already the way of Allah.” Habib answered sure. He also did not know how he could talk if he was going to marry Nayya. The voice seemed to appear suddenly in his heart and spontaneously thrown.


“Abi equals Umi always supports you whatever you decide.” Kyai Abu sure looked at his son. He believes his son made the right decision and always supported him. So is Umi Habib. He looked at Habib with a supportive smile and nodded.


Habib looked back at Nayya's parents who stroked Nayya's head. “I will prepare everything today as well. I will connect my friend to bring penghulu here and his dowry.” Her speech. Nayyapun's parents looked at Habib. “I'm sorry to come out first to contact them. Assalamu’alaikum.” Be polite and then leave.


He came out of Nayya's room and contacted his friend who became the ruler. After speaking for quite a while, he went back inside and looked at Umi and her ashes. He nodded his head as istarat ‘sudah’


Nayya kept silent without speaking. He cannot dispute his master. He also does not want to marry someone he does not know the slightest thing. He simply gave up what would happen to him and gave his whole life to God.


A few hours later, Azan Ashar. Nayya initially did not want to think of anything, her head ached as she thought about the bannyak thing. He chose to sleep, but his matan immediately realized when he heard the azan reverberate. “Bun already Ashar?” nayya tannya.


Mother Nayya holds Nayya's left hand. “Iyya darling. You want to pray?” Tannya Bundannya.


Nayyapun. “Tapii pak penghulu has not arrived yet. We want to marry.” Answer Mother Nayya gently. Nayya remembered.


“Tapkan the predecessor has not arrived. We pray first. Newly married.” Answer Nayya.


Habib looked at them from afar. He stood up to perform prayer. “Buk, we pray just congregate here.” His words touched them.


“Do not seek your attention..” Nayya's father's voice is ketus.


“Dad. We pray together yes. Nayya kagen pray berjama’ah sama mother and father.” Nayya's words calmed her father.


His father Nayya softened. “Iya dear we pray together. We take ablution first yes..” Answer gently. It is drastically different when talking to Habib and his family.


“Iya . thanks dad” Nayya said with a smile.


Umi and Abi Habib smilingly looked at Nayya. He was so fascinated by it. “Ya. Let's prepare everything for congregational prayer.” Kyai Abu.


Habib and the others nodded. Habib went to fetch the prayer mats and the mukena. Fortunately, Nayya's room is a VIP room, so it is very spacious and can accommodate them for congregational prayers.


Mother Nayya helped Nayya to ablution. His father helped provide prayer rugs for prayer. Actually his heart was heavy, but because of his daughter's request he became weak and sincere.


When they finished all the prayers that were imitated by kyai Abu. Nayya prayed on her bed. Prayer is as solemn as a happy family to heaven. But when praying all the family crying, either crying happy or sad. But they really hope that in the future it will go well and always be in the path of God.


“God, my loving Lord is most merciful. Servant assured the whole life of the servant in your hands Yarob. I assure you of your decision, O Allah. I am sure that all your destiny is your best decision for me, I am only pleading and serving you. Strengthen the servant for the whole path and the life of the servant in the future. And if he is indeed the soul mate of the servant, the servant pleads yarob, make the household of the servant strong and happy. Make us like Khadija and Rasullullah who are always together when suffering or liking. Strengthen and warm each other. Give and grant us the happiness of Yarob,,, aamiin.” Nayya Prayer.


“It's yarob. Please, make the decision of the servant the best decision.help the servant for the future Yarob. I assure you entirely. And our gifts are always in blessing. Always protect us with your mercy. Make me the head of a wise household like Rasullullah saw. Amiin.” Habib Prayer.


After the prayer Habib wanted to greet Nayya's father, but not Nayya's father if he wanted to accept it. Habib smiled miris. He greeted Umi and Abinya in turn.


When they finished praying they berkasbih and dhikr while waiting for the penghulu. It did not feel until at 16;30 the ruler came with two colleagues.


“Assalamu’alaikum.” Greetings in front of the door of Nayya's room.


Dug. Nayya's heart beats fast. He was very nervous, he was sure it was the ruler, and it signified that he was going to fight with Habib.
