GRINNED
CHAPTER 33: Ijab Qobul

The beautiful, melodious voice that conveys the kalam of God, touches the heart. By bowing our heads we listen. Embracing the feelings that exist, to permeate the meaning implied in it. This heart is also washed away enjoying what is contained in the verse of the verse of Ar Rohman. It is about creation, beauty, power, of the Almighty. Form God's love for us. What an incomparable pleasure. But often as a servant is less aware and grateful for all this.

Without the power of clear circles, teardrops came out of the hiding place. From between the ends of the eyes are seen starting to fall to form short and small rivers. Flowing to wet the cheeks. With the handkerchief I was holding, I rubbed it so it wouldn't get real.

I didn't think Zaidan would fulfill my request if I was going to edit myself. And in this short time, it has been memorized smoothly. Without a single glance at the Qur'an. I was stunned and fascinated by the abilities of my future priest in the real world.

Ustadz Arifin and ustadz Syarif listened carefully. Both the reading and the art. From beginning to end, they never interrupt. Marking no error in Zaidan's reading.

From the very beginning of the verse spoken to 'shodaqallahul adzim' all fell silent and enjoyed the reading.

My God .. is a beautiful read. No one complained until the end of the reading. Even Anya who was usually always agile here and there seemed calm in Zaidan's lap. I want to hear his voice again. But darling it's over.

Then, Zaidan took out a car key and also the BPKB of the vehicle and placed it on the table.

"Is this the dowry, Nak Zaidan?"

"Yes, Mr. ustadz."

"alright. Then we can start."

"Come!"

Ustadz Arifin stretched out his hand and shook Zainab's hand tightly. Although he looked a little nervous, he remained calm and spirited. And on his forehead popping grains of cold sweat that looks shiny under the dim light in this living room.

Without wasting a long time ustadz Arifin began to say the word ijab qobul with Zainab.

"I marry you to Adinda Humaira bint Abdurrahman with a dowry reading al-Rahman and a car."

"I accept the marriage of Adinda Humaira bint Abdurrahman with a dowry reading ar Rahman and a car paid in cash."

"How is the witness, legitimate."

"Well." they answered simultaneously.

Immediately Arifin ustadz raised his hands, lowered his head, praying for the two of them. Everyone guarantees it happily. Likewise mommy Zaidan can not hide his happiness. Until we shed tears.

Anya who has since started ijab qobul in the lap of Zaidan, looks silent but happy. Unceasingly smiling looking at the newly owned father and mother, who had always missed him. Zaidan lowered Anya from his lap. Then sit by her side with affection.

Dinda and Zaidan approached her mommy, gathered together and kissed her hand with tadhim. Hendiyana greeted the two with a loving hug and gently stroked the heads of the two. Clear lights flowing on both sides of the eyes. As an expression of happiness that has been stored perfectly in the chest.

Alfath who due to the process of the qobul ijab had to leave the room, waiting quietly on the other side of the room, which was located next to the living room, had returned with a happy smile. Zaidan and Dinda approach Alfath to sungkem, replacing Dinda's parents.

Behind the curtains of the living room, stood bi Sari, Silvi, and Hani. They watched their best friend's marriage. Standing sculpted since the strains of the letter ar Rahman heard until the completion of the qobulnya ijab. They were moved and did not expect that his best friend would change status so soon. A second ago, still alone has now become the wife of a life companion who wants Dinda resigned herself.

Then they passed, returning to clean up the finished banquet. From plates, cups, spoons, vegetable stands and everything up to tables and seats to clean and tidy. Bring it to the laundry. There have been waiting for bi Sari patiently until the equipment is clean and arranged to dry quickly. For him to arrange in the closet to look neat.

While in the living room still continues in the series of ijab qobul events. That is listening to the sermon conveyed by the Sharif. What he said was not long but meaningful enough for Zaidan and Dinda. Marriage advice, about togetherness, rights and obligations, so that they can make their dreams come true. Sakinah, mawaddah and rahmah. Calm, peaceful, full of love, until affection will always be awake.

Dinda went into the house to get a pillow.  And put it on Zaidan's side. Slowly, Zaidan put Anya down. Not to disturb his sleep.

Finished the wedding between Zaidan and Dinda with full simplicity. Without a fancy wedding dress, or a magnificent wedding venue. But wisdom feels. It makes the new family happy.

The event was originally for a proposal, but it was unexpected that it should continue on to a real marriage. At the request of her sudden little daughter.

The invited guests one by one say goodbye.

"Sorry son Alfath, you go home first" said Ustadz Arifin.

Then, Alfath and all his new family delivered to the outside.

"Thank you, Ustadz" said Alfath, who was greeted with a nod to Arifin's head.

"Zaidan, please take good care of Dinda. Don't forget tomorrow to complete the files and stay hands in the KUA office." message ustadz Arifin when greeting Zaidan.

"Well, Ustadz" said Zaidan, kissing his hand.

"Zai, I want to go back too" Sharif said later.

"Lho. Not with us."

"No, I'm just ngojek. I already ordered. That's it he's coming." said Syarif, pointing at someone who was cursing at the helmet with a motorcycle by his side, which was across the street near the store.

"Yes already. Thank you, yeah...."

"I have fulfilled my promise. Now I'm waiting for you at the Islamic center."

"Fastly, man." replied Zaidan excitedly and united his hands with Sharif.

"Assalamualaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh."

"Waalaikum salam warohmatullahi wabarokatuh." we replied in unison.

Finished delivering the guests Alfath, Miss Hendiyana, and Lisa's sister inside. Followed by Zaidan and Dinda who walked hand in hand behind them. He quietly brought his head closer to Dinda's ears to tell her about her tummy that had been rumbling since he had not had time to eat. Even had to miss the banquet to fulfill the wishes of his little daughter, who was now sleeping soundly with a smile, decorating on her tiny lips.

"Darling, Mas laper is great" said Zaidan, whispering softly in Dinda's ear. It makes Dinda a little nervous. And enough to make his heart beat.

"I prepare first, Mas." said Dinda as she passed into the house. Eliminate the vibration he just felt. To prepare food on the table, for Zaidan who is now her husband.

"God willing .." said Zaidan after returning from the toilet to wash his face, before heading to the dining room and enjoying the food he had prepared.

Leaving Hendiyana and Lisa's sister in the living room. Accompanying Anya who was fast asleep. While chatting lightly with Alfath, Dinda's brother who he just met. Also while waiting for the driver finished enjoying dinner with his newly married wife.
