Fatih was still speechless there. He stared fixedly at the middle-aged woman who had just gone berserk.
''Nature! Alamsyah?? Uncle Alam?? o Allah! means Rani is my cousin? why is the world so narrow? And why should Rani?? Is it okay if I marry Rani??
Before all this has happened, I have to ask who knows better.'' he added to the old woman.
The old woman was silent. Not saying yes, not saying no. Her mouth was locked tightly when she found out if it was her husband's brother-in-law. Which means there's still one guardianship with her son.
Once the old woman thought, could Fatih marry the girl who turned out to be her cousin?? It turned out that all was answered with Fatih who would ask an ustad.
Fatih walked forward where they were sitting. He pulled out his android phone to call someone who knew about the matter.
He dialed the Gibran number, connected but not yet lifted. He waited a long time, no answer. He tried many times, and finally answered.
''Hallo assalamualaikum ustad??''
''Greetings Waalaikum, Nak Fatih. What's the matter with calling me? sorry I had a guest from the office, I happened to live inside, so I did not know Nak Fatih called. Can I help you, son??'' answer ustad Gibran at length.
Intentionally Fatih loundspeaker hape her, so that her mother can know what they are talking about later.
''Look, today I want to propose to a girl, but I am shocked that this girl is my cousin, the son of my uncle, my papa sister. What I want to ask is, can I marry Rani, while she is my cousin?? And what the law is, that's all just ustad.''
''Alhamdulillah, today Nak Fatih wants to propose anyway. In Islam, there are some forbidden to marry called mahram, as described in the Qur'an surah An-nisa verse 23 which means:
''Be forbidden to you (marry) your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your mother's sisters, the daughters of your brothers, the daughters of your sisters, your mothers who breastfeed you, your sisters, your wives' mothers (seconds), the daughters of your wife (stepchildren) who are in your care, of the wife whom you have interfered with, but if you have not interfered with your wife (you have divorced), then it is not your sin (married), (and forbidden to you) the wives of your biological children (in-law), and (banned) gather (in marriage) two sisters, except what has happened in the past. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.''
''In other words if the cousin is not included in it. Thus, the cousin is not a mahram so it can be married. It is also described in the Qur'an Surah Al-ahzab verse 50. Later can be opened at home yes, more or less delivery as well as surah An Nisa earlier.''
''Thus, Nak Fatih can marry Nak Rani. Because you two are not mahram. How, Nak Fatih?? already understand??'' obviously at length.
''Alhamdulillah is ready, thank you for your time. Sorry to interrupt ustad! again I say thank you!''
''Same-same, Nak Fatih. I'm glad I could help you. If there is something else to ask, please ask. I'm ready to answer. Yes, I closed, right? Assalamualaikum.'' he said goodbye to Fatih.
''Waalaikum salam ustad.'' he replied by breathing a sigh of relief.
''Means I can Ma, marry Rani. Hopefully Rani is not surprised to know that we are cousins.
Not with anyone there, he stood there. The ears cannot be misheard. If he and the young man were cousins.
''Sepupu??'' paro Rani. Made Fatih look at him in surprise.
''Do you know??'' ask her.
''Just now. If I had been out late, I wouldn't have known you were my cousin. Cousin from where?? My cousins are all married! ye? cousin from where??'' ask him confused.
Fatih smiled, and approached the girl of his heart.
''Wh-what?! Me? How do you know about my father??''
''Because your father is my uncle! my papa's cousin, who was pronounced dead twenty years ago. At that time your mother was pregnant with you, we heard the news, if both of your parents died in an accident! Therefore I do not know if you are my cousin, the son of my father, if Bude had not mentioned the name Sarasvati Alamsyah! a name that was very popular at the time. In the heyday of Uncle Alam!'' he was laughing considering past events.
Fatih was seven years old. So he can remember everything clearly.
''How? Are you willing to marry me??'' ask her again.
Rani's mother inside who heard her, shook her head. Her tears just kept flowing, hearing the explanation of the niece from her husband.
One who would willingly kill her husband and herself out of thirst for treasure.
Bude Risma who saw it, was astonished. He thought, is Saras the only brother already healed??
If he was healed, why did he hide it from everyone?? What the hell is it? What happened twenty years ago, to the point that he became insane like that?
Her lips twitched wanting to ask, but held back. Because considering Saras' condition is not good after remembering the incident.
Saras was so traumatized by the incident, that he sometimes screamed hysterically. Sometimes I laugh at myself.
Bude Risma who saw him pity. But whatever the power, he couldn't help her at all for her healing.
It is not a matter of money, it concerns the condition of the patient himself. He can only heal if he wants to heal himself. According to the doctor.
Free money can treat his sister, but his sister did not want to recover at all.
And now, look at his condition. She was shocked to see her sister hysterically like that. Old events are repeated.
Bude Risma let out a long sigh.
''What really happened on that deck. Why did you and your husband deliberately cover it from us? Until the power of attorney about your entire fortune so I'll handle it? What was? Is there anyone who's trying to hurt you? Or was it an accident because it was his destiny? I'm still confused by all this! If you knew the deck .. I miss you so much. Your cheerful presence is like it used to be. When we share our joys and sorrows. If only.'' I'd like to see Bude Risma in his sister's ear.
Clear lips flow on the cheeks of the mother of Saras. He heard all the heartbreak of his only brother.
He also misses their togetherness. But for now it's not time.
Back to Rani and Fatih.
''So how? you want to marry me? are we cousins? And again, who would marry you willingly, if not me? If the men there know that you are a girl born from a woman who is not sane, are they willing to marry you??''
The deg!
