My oath

"But we pray first Mas," said Sophia.

"The ritual is again, boring" Alex said.

Sophia pulled Alex's hand to invite him to wudhu with her. They went into the toilet. Alex watched Sophia who was ablution.

"Sophia why do you have to bother just for worship?" ask Alex.

"At first it may seem complicated and difficult but when we have done it it feels cool, calm the heart and mind" said Sophia.

"What's that magic of ablution?" alex said he doubted what Sophia did.

"Then try it now" Sophia said.

Alex turned the faucet beside him. He began to ablaze. Alex doesn't know how to do ablution right yet. He washes his hands, face and feet.

"Some are missed" said Sophia.

"What should it be like? Same call?" ask Alex.

"The shaman of ablution must be true if it is not true is not valid Mas wudhunya," said Sophia.

"Areally ablution is a rule that will be punished or fined if wrong? Heh!" said Alex.

"If our ablution is not valid how our prayer can be legitimate, because ablution is a valid condition of prayer" said Sophia.

"Huh. I'm like a kid who doesn't know anything" Alex choked.

Seeing her husband looking upset, Sophia kissed Alex on the cheek. But Alex did not accept just kissed his cheek, he kissed Sophia's lips.

"I've given you a gift, be right like me Mas" Sophia said.

Alex holds Sophia's lips. He looked at Sophia.

"You're getting smart about conquering me Sophia" Alex said.

Sophia just smiled. I have to be patient to get Alex to do the right thing. Sophia had to give her what she liked.

Sophia followed Alex wudhu first. Alex wudhu was after that. Alex did it right this time.

After wudhu they prayed together. Because Alex has not been fluent in his prayer readings, they pray each even though one room. Alex finished praying later because he had not memorized all the prayers and correct reading. He listened to Sophia chant the Qur'an. His voice was sweet, his face full of calmness.

"Sophia you're like a wingless angel, a demon like me should be the husband of a sholeha woman like you, can I?" inner Alex.

In silence, Alex waited for Sophia to finish. After she finished teaching, Sophia grabbed Alex's hand, kissing her hand.

"Why should you kiss my hand like a child to her parents" Alex said.

"When a child kisses the hands of his parents, it is a form of respect for the child to his parents, besides the prayers poured out of the parents for his child, as well as with me, every kiss in the hands of Mas, and so on, full of prayers that I say," said Sophia.

Alex fell silent. She felt so much difference between herself and Sophia. The Sholeha woman was always clean and pure in her heart. Like a light that illuminates the darkness. Warming in the cold.

"Sophia, I am not a good person, every time I commit adultery, different from you who always keep your honor," Alex said.

"God is Oft-Forgiving, whatever our sins, no matter how great our sins are, if we truly repent, ask for His forgiveness" Sophia said.

Alex stood up. She left Sophia.

Alex is out of his apartment. Sophia was silent, sitting on her tongue.

That night Sophia sat in bed. Expecting Alex. Sophia could not figure out why Alex had left her. An hour later, Alex reenters his apartment. He approached Sophia in the room. Sit beside him.

"Where's the gas? Are there any words I'm wrong?" ask Sophia.

Alex stroking Sophia's cheek. Looked at his face.

"Sophia, I won't touch you before I can be a good priest to you" Alex said.

"Why won't you touch me?" ask Sophia.

"I can't leave my world yet, and you're too holy for me, I don't want you to get hurt" Alex said. Sophia was silent. Alex's decision can't be changed. Slowly Alex took his hand off Sophia's cheek. He stood back up. Leaving Sophia out of that room. Alex got out of his apartment. He drives his car to a nightclub where he hangs out with his friends.

Alex is sitting at the bar. Sipping alcohol as usual. This time he was silent. Alone and looking moody.

Not far from where Alex was sitting, Key and Theo were sitting enjoying an alcoholic drink.

They saw Alex sitting alone.

"Bro it's not Alex" Key pointed to Alex.

"Then anyway? Tonight's his first night, where maybe Alex is here" Theo said.

"OK," Theo said.

Key and Theo approach Alex who is sitting alone at the bar. They pat Alex on the shoulder, greeting him.

"Lex, what are you doing here? He said he wanted first night?" ask Key.

"Yes, it's a pity that Sophia was taken" added Theo.

"Sophia is holy, I'm a demon, which is suitable," Alex said drunk.

Alex's two friends whispered behind him.

"Bro, Alex is not ready for his treatment" Key said.

"No, maybe he still wants to adventure rich Dora," said Theo.

"What we bring to Mbah shaman let insyaf," said Key.

"That sorcerer mah to blow people up is not for insyaffin people," said Theo.

"Well if I take it to a nursing home, how about it?" ask Key.

"He's not old, his teeth are full" Theo replied.

They both think. Understandably, Alex was drunk and playing women was common, but when married to Sophia they did not feel good to see Alex in the nightclub.

"We're taking it to the orphanage" Key said.

"Will he be an orphan? It's better to take it to a mental hospital, let the brain really if the slang is the same person," said Theo.

"Ha ha ha." Key laughing. They are getting worse. Imagining everywhere.

Alex is getting drunk. He began to speak as he pleased.

"Bro take Alex home" Key said.

"Where to go?" ask Theo.

"To Sophia's house" Key replied.

"Don't Sophia's family are nice people, it's not nice that a drunk Alex is taken there" Theo said.

"Where are we taking it?" ask Key.

They both thought hard. Don't want to take a wrong step. This time they have to consider where Alex is going.

"Just go home" Theo said.

"Bastian's Family Home?" ask Key.

Theo nodded. Finally they took Alex out of the club that night. They put Alex in the car and left the place.

***

Sophia woke up from her sleep. Look around. It turned out that last night he fell asleep in his alphabet after the tahajud prayer. The sound of the dawn wake him up. Sophia immediately took off her mucous, revived and then prayed at dawn.

After morning prayers, Sophia checked her phone. No messages or calls from Alex.

"Alex where?" Sophia anxious.

"God has given me the patience and strength to take my husband on Your path" said Sophia.

Soon Sophia was wearing clothes to get outside the house. Sophia believes Alex must have gone home. He went outside the apartment, drove his car to Sebastian's house.

At Sebastian's house, Sophia goes inside. Accidentally met Marisa's mother.

"Assalamu'alaikum," Sophia greeted. But instead of getting a reply to greetings, it gets insinuations from his mother-in-law.

"I've guessed, a woman like you can't possibly serve your husband well" Marisa said.

"My son is not a man you can master with your stupid ties" said Marisa's mother.

"Sorry Mom, is Alex home?" sophia asked as if she had not heard Marisa's mother's insinuation.

"You think you can be the hero who saved my son?" mother of Marisa.

Sophia was silent. He doesn't want to retaliate.

"Sophia" called Alex down the stairs to Sophia and her mother, who was standing not far from the stairs.
