HELLO SUNSHINE
Hello 139, The Wedding
Thursday after work, Rama went straight to Tasikmalaya with the office driver. Mang Ujang's wedding will be held Friday at nine in the morning.
Pak Isam's family entourage and new domestic assistants will depart after Friday prayers. In addition to Sachi's school, Izza also has an appointment with his final assignment supervisor. So it is certain that will be present when Mang Ujang marriage contract is only Rama.
Rama arrived at the Pesantrennya Abah Ikin about three o'clock in the morning, looks busy at the Pesantren is not too crowded, all is ready. The tent and stage are beautifully decorated. The mosque in Pesantren has also been decorated its front. The inside will be cleaned after the morning prayers are finished.
There is a Hadroh team that is in final practice to accompany the bride later. Abah Ikin is on break. Rama was accompanied by his sons Abah Ikin and there was also a representative of the Mang Ujang family.
After dawn prayers, Rama pamit to Mang Ujang house, he drove his own car.
In Mang Ujang house looks crowded, brothers and neighbors have gathered. Rama and all were served breakfast, they enjoyed a simple and luxurious meal for Rama. Mang Ujang family prepares corn rice, fried tempe flour and balado salted squid plus karak crackers (from the rest of the rice). They all look very good at eating banana leaves.
His name also wants to worship, there is only fanfare that arises, even though all offerings and equipment have been prepared since last night.
Things that look trivial due to sprains, but make a noise that is quite funny as entertainment.
The mothers are noisily looking for brooches that have been distributed to look good in uniform, some even pacing back and forth peniti nyari to tidy up the rectangular hijab. The fathers also did not miss along enliven the atmosphere, looking for peci to sandals that are only next door (many guests slippers piled up outside the house).
There is also a sister Mang Ujang, there are dancing and while nyuapin his son who whines for food, as a result of eyebrows so high next door.
The young boys even took it easy with Rama in front of the house. They enjoy the prank dish after eating, there is coffee, boiled beans and sweet potatoes. Don't know what else to do, just waiting to go.
Exactly at eight in the morning, at Mang Ujang's house held a permit and asked for do'a blessing to be married, Mang Ujang was in front of his parents. Mang Ujang sat on the floor while his parents were in the chair. The atmosphere suddenly became full of blue, especially the type of Mang Ujang who always seemed cheerful suddenly became mellow.
In addition to parents, Mang Ujang also asked for do'a blessing from the parents/parents in the family and the surrounding environment. Rama waited outside the house, seeing every procession with the same taste. Intentionally Rama did not enter because today he wanted to put himself as a friend for Mang Ujang, not his Boss Mang Ujang.
Mang Ujang flanked by his parents while moving out of the house. Mang Ujang immediately hugged Rama as soon as he saw there was Rama near the door.
"Thank you Boss.I don't know what kind of reply Mas Boss, if not for Mas Boss, none of this will happen" said Mang Ujang while crying.
"Udah Mang . ga do not cry mulu, later the powder faded. Want marriage should be calm because if nervous can say all hapalan ijab kabuln" joked Rama while patting his shoulder Mang Ujang.
Those present at Mang Ujang's house laughed at Rama's words.
"It is fortunate that Ujang has a superior like Aa' Rama, meuni someah hade ka semah" said his brother Mang Ujang.
"What is Mang?" ask Rama who doesn't understand.
"That is the term pilosopy Sundanese society, meaning friendly, kind, entertaining and happy others even though they do not yet know" explained Mang Ujang.
Rama just smiled. Mang Ujang rubbed his tears using tissue that had been bagged since earlier.
"For my honor, today I will take the car to Pesantren. Bringing my best friend to a new life. So Mang Ujang and both parents, just sit sweet on the passenger seat" said Rama.
"That's not good dong Mas Boss.there is my brother who is also a driver. Let him take it" replied Mang Ujang.
"Watch a form of support for bestie, do not feel good" said Rama.
"This has all been financed by Mas Boss, O Allah, actually Mamang was lucky to have Mas Boss" said Mang Ujang.
"Udah do not need to add mellow. tuh the delegation of the bride's family has come. Let's get ready, kasian later Pak Penghulu nungguin" take Rama.
The envoy from the bride's side picked up the prospective groom to be escorted to the venue. This is the custom of the area there. The goal is to ensure the prospective groom arrives safely without any obstacles to the designated place.
Rama drove the front of his car, the others followed from behind to the Abah Ikin Pesantren.
Seeing Mang Ujang sitting next to him somewhat nervous, hands trembling, mouth kamit kamit kamit no matter what is said, the legs also can not be silent and sit like a restless person. Seeing that, the more Rama likes to tease him.
"Said playboy, new time gini aja already geteran. This we haven't reached the tablets at the place of akad. For a long time can faint loh kalo ga calm" ledek Rama.
"Mas Boss rich used to not fathom aja.dah Dig dug really nih" replied Mang Ujang.
"Take a deep breath Mang, continue to waste slowly, a lot of praying for all to be launched. All men who are going to get married will certainly experience the same thing as Mang Ujang, but how our minds must be able to master the emotions that exist" advice Rama.
"Tumben Mas Boss ga ngebully Mamang, usually very confused to see Mamang" said Mang Ujang.
"Negative thinking aja Mang Ujang with me, try if you do not believe, this continues until the place of akad .. auto blank mind" said Rama.
"True Jang .what is said to be the same Nak Rama. hence from yesterday was told to pray very difficult prayer. The goal is to create a heart and mind. This is even playing chess with the neighbors" said Abnah Mang Ujang.
"Begged siraman instead nolak, it will be not calm" said Mang Ujang Emotion.
The invitation of Mang Ujang to process before marriage is held, the fairies will also provide. But Mang Ujang insistent ga would, for him let the bride-to-be who complete the procession.
"Selowww brohhhh.. later run out ijab kabul can do just that. After all, today's show is just a deal, only tomorrow's the recipe" continued Rama.
"Don't ya Jang .. later the bride's aura does not come out at the reception" Mang Ujang recalled.
"Is there such a rule?" ask Rama.
"There ... Ambu has been told by the fairies, if the marriage contract and reception are different days, the bride must be able to refrain from connecting with each other. Even asked to sleep alone so as not to be tempted" explained the Amber of Mang Ujang.
"Kuatin his faith si imin ya Mang... hahahaha" ledek Rama.
Ambu and his brother Mang Ujang laughed, Mang Ujang still could not laugh. Her sense of humor drifted.
Mang Ujang group has entered the Pesantren area, indeed the agreement and reception will be held in Pesantren considering the area is very large. After all, this Pesantren is not a formal learning place, only a rehabilitation place. So it can still be used for weddings without being disturbed by other activities.
Arriving at the venue, the prospective groom is greeted by the mother of the prospective bride by draping jasmine flowers (ngabageakeun).
After the Mang Ujang family sat in an arranged place, it was the turn of the Ceu Lilis family group who entered the Pesantren area.
Ceu Lilis looks very beautiful in her danger, she looks special by covering her head with a hijab that has been decorated in such a way compatible with her danger.
It turns out that Ceu Lilis if wearing a hijab and dressed by professional fairies, the more out the aura of beauty. Many are pangling the same look of Ceu Lilis.
Ceu Lilis has indeed been in the past month running all the treatment given by the bride and groom to appear plenary at the ceremony today.
Rama immediately approached Ceu Lilis.
"You look a lot like Mba Nay today Lis" said Rama.
"Thank you A'." replied Ceu Lilis timidly.
"Alhamdulillah do'a Aa' and do'a you have finally missed Lis, after the great secret was revealed, now Aa's job is to bring you to a marriage contract. Indeed the initial plan you want in KUA only, Alhamdulillah at the last second decided to be with Mang Ujang alternately. Hope you are sincere Lis, I take care of all this time, more or less I am sorry. This is the end of hard work, do'a and Aa's tears have been looking for you for a promise with Mba Nay. After that, the heavy burden was so tiring Aa's shoulders'. The sail will soon be developed, the boat is ready to sail across the ocean of life. Be prepared to face the waves that are not always friendly to you. Refresh the heart when the ordeal hits. Always be thankful for what God has given. Barokalloohu laka wabaroka 'alayka wajama'a baynakuma filkhairin. Aa', Abrisam's wife and family, will always be there for you. Remember also if Aa' is just a big brother not your trash can that will accommodate all complaints. Do not expose the ugliness of the couple, because his disgrace is your disgrace as well" advised Rama.
"Yes A' will Lilis remember. Can't Lilis kiss Aa' Rama's hand? in honor of an older brother" asked Ceu Lilis.
"Ga yes, this is the environment of Pesantren, so it should not be in contact with the opposite sex who is not Mahrom. The point is don't kiss hands, Aa' understand if you think Aa' is Brother itself. We respect each other, yes. Aa' is not your mahrom, after all have a wife. Aa' ga will not hurt the wife by arbitrarily holding hands with other women" reason Rama.
Ceu Lilis understood Rama's principles, so he nodded his head in honor of Rama.
Ceu Lilis flanked by her parents towards the chair pelaminan that looks very beautiful decoration. Mang Ujang is also ready at the marriage certificate table. KUA officers have entered the event venue and are checking documents.
The plan is Mang Ujang's marriage contract first, then Ceu Lilis' marriage contract.
Mang Ujang prepared to say his kabuli. Abah Ikin had already tightly shaken Mang Ujang's hand. It was more because of his heart Mang Ujang.
Rama who understood such conditions tried to melt the atmosphere. He approached Mr. Penghulu and whispered.
"Punten Pak Kepala KUA, the groom-to-be seems to need to be given a drink first, it's a blister already as big as corn, I'm afraid he fainted after kabul" pinta Rama.
The one around the wedding table laughed. The head of KUA finally asked for drinking water to be handed over to Mang Ujang. Mang Ujang was immediately downing a small bottle of mineral water.
After a bit of calm, with a dowry a set of prayer tools and jewelry weighing twenty grams, Mang Ujang officially invited his youngest son Abah Ikin, his age was young, he said, only nineteen years old and just graduated from the hospital in one of the Pesantren in Yogyakarta and has served a year in its Pesantren.
When he returned to Tasikmalaya, his son Abah Ikin became a byword in the area. His brother Mang Ujang who regularly prays dawn in Pesantren so smitten and hope could be his mantra.
Gayung together, Rama who visited Pesantren also, had plans to match his daughter Abah Ikin to Mang Ujang.
After Abah Ikin discussed with the child, daughter-in-law and wife, then Rama came to the house of Mang Ujang's parents to convey his plans. Of course, Mang Ujang's parents strongly agreed with the proposal.
Alhamdulillah son Abah Ikin would accept the proposal on the condition that Mang Ujang changed for the better of his religion. During the sermon, Mang Ujang was tested as a prayer priest, at that time it was still a mess of his reading, but Mang Ujang had shown his intention to further deepen the science of religion.
When the direction is opened, the path can pass anywhere. Meeting his son Abah Ikin used to be the same momentum Mang Ujang to re-learn the religion again.
So far it has often been invited to participate in the study, but still help follow it. After many discussions with Rama, Mang Ujang became more determined to get married.
After ijab kabul and the submission of dowry and marriage book. Now it's Abah Ikin's son's turn to go forward in front of KUA's head.
This man was chosen by Rama to be her husband Ceu Lilis. Since often to the Abah Ikin Pesantren, Rama several times talked with his third son Abah Ikin. He graduated from agriculture at one of the famous campuses in Bogor. Devoting himself in his hometown by being in charge of the plantation owned by Mr. Isam, the result of which was to supply the organic vegetable and fruit store owned by Haidar which has five outlets around Jabodetabek.
Rama considered this man the most appropriate to continue the baton to protect and guide Ceu Lilis.
Rama told Abah Ikin all about the behavior of his stepfather Ceu Lilis. Abah Ikin's son was legally willing to accept this match.
His two younger siblings Abah Ikin is indeed a graduate of Pesantren Junior High School and his High School, so it is deeply embedded in themselves to devote all the knowledge obtained for the progress of the ummah. Marriage is one way to preach, invite someone to re-learn the science of religion and carry out obligations as a Muslim.
Ceu Lilis' marriage contract went well. There was a cry at the end of Rama's eyes. He tried to smile broadly seeing Mang Ujang and Ceu Lilis in the right hands.
After the agreement went well, the couple also made a condolence to both parents to apologize for the mistakes.
Now two pairs of brides are sitting on chairs, the ceremony is performed to the bride. Parents give advice accompanied by a canticle. Giving advice is accompanied by the throwing of coins, rice, thinly sliced turmeric and candy.
It is said that coins and rice symbolize prosperity, turmeric as a symbol of glory, while candy symbolizes the sweetness of household life.
The event continued with the harupat meuleum. The bride burns the bar of harupat the groom holds with a candle until it is lit. After that, the harupat stem is inserted into a jug filled with water held by the bride. Harupat rods are lifted back and broken and then discarded. This procession means that the two brides are expected to always solve household problems together. The wife who holds a pitcher filled with water describes the role of the wife who plays a role to cool down every problem that burdens the heart and mind of the husband.
The procession of nincak endog (treading eggs) was abolished because Abah Ikin asked, like a food should not be trampled.
Both pairs of brides return to the top of the guarantee to continue the procession of the scope, where the bride is fed by parents as a sign there is no difference between affection for the child and daughter-in-law.
After that the arrangement of the event continued with the pabetot bakakak hayam, the two brides pulled each other whole roasted chicken. The one who gets the bigger share should share it with his partner. This procession means that the received windfall must be enjoyed together.
Only two hours of the event took place, continued cordial. But because it will enter the Friday prayer time, the mosque area is immediately restored.
Only tomorrow will the reception be held for both. Today is only a marriage contract considering today there is Friday prayer.
Rama was immediately embraced by Abah Ikin, both of whom wept without being able to say words.
