HIJAIYAH LOVE
Karen Approves Spiritual Request

After returning from the company, Hanafi took Karen to the pesantren. Han invited his wife to say goodbye to the abi, namely Kyai Waffiq and umi Fatimah, as well as his beloved mother.

flashback....

" Mas Han, can I ask for something no?" asked Karen, along the way home from the company with a doubtful look.

Han, who was busy driving the car, turned to the woman who was talking beside him.

" Yes of course you can, just say don't hesitate so !" replied Han casually.

" Would Han live together in my house ?If you need to invite also mother." said Karen still staring at Hanafi.

" It's good if it's your will, I'm asking you once again. Are you right not to be ashamed of my profession, which is totally incompatible with yours?" han asked to make sure his heart returned.

Karen stared gently at Hanafi's face, and clasped the hand of the man beside her who was driving.

" Han, it was not clear last night that we said together, that I married Han because of God, as well as Han. I accept all the shortcomings and advantages that exist in you mas, I beg you not to always feel inferior, because in nature I am still a wife who must be devoted to the husband, I am the current owner of the company. The treasure was just a goldsmith." Karen's chimpanzee implied a sincere smile to Han.

As Hanafi pulled the car over to the quieter streets, Han landed a kiss on Karen's forehead.

" Thank you Karen, for accepting me for who I am, from now on we will pass every moment together, both difficult and happy" Hanafi said as he embraced Karen's body.

Both continued their journey to the pesantren.

flashback off's.....

Hanafi opened the door for Karen, because the clothes Karen was wearing slightly bothered her in walking, so Hanafi gently led Karen, walking into the residence of the Kyai.

The rest - the rest of the excitement of the ijab qobul event that was in the title, is still there. Some santriwan who was cleaning the room, staring at the ustadz who was so romantic treating his wife.

" Wahhhh... ustadz Hanafi romantic as well." chirped one santriwan.

Feeling noticed by the students in his care, Han smiled at them and waved his hand. Some of the santriwan who was there also chuckled together while whistling.

" This is all friendly yes mas, actually I want to feel like living in a boarding school since long ago, but papa does not allow." said Karen told me while walking in a Han gang.

" Thank God, people here are friendly and kind. All right, someday I'll take you to stay here for a few days." said Han chimed in.

" Assalamu'alaikum" Han and Karen said as they stood at the door of Kyai's residence.

Karen and Han shook hands, umi Fatimah came out to greet the newlyweds. Likewise with Azzam and Annisa, when they heard Han's voice, they immediately came out, Rohimah also came out to welcome the return of the son and daughter-in-law.

One by one shaking hands with each other, Hanafi and Karen were sitting next to each other, all the families were gathered.

" This is Abi, umi, mother, now we are officially married in the eyes of religion, the day after we will get married in front of the religious office, meaning Han wants to say goodbye to ask permission to live with Han's wife, Han said, he requested that Han stay with him " said Hanafi with a serious face.

" Yes son Han, Abi never forbid you will stay anywhere, as long as you two get along well and happy that is enough for Abi and also your mother, is not Rohimah?" kyai Waffiq said, turning to look at Rohimah.

" Yes Han, dear Karen, whatever you think is best, then our do'a is always with you. Then about the wedding of the two of you when was it done?" ask Rohimah the Han mother.

Karen and Han looked at each other when they got a question from the mother.

" I'm sorry mom, for the moment my dad Karen is lying in the hospital, so it would be unethical if we had a party, behind the disaster. It is official in the eyes of law and religion that already means a lot to us, besides the wedding event that was held this morning, has been very lively in our opinion, so thank you very much for all that you have offered us, may Allah repay you all for your kindness." replied Han with teary eyes, as if representing his happiness at that time.

Meeting Karen really opened the eyes of a Hanafi, that the rejection made by Mr. Himawan, it was stored a truly extraordinary gift. He found a piece of diamond that is rarely found in this day and age.

Suddenly the middle-aged woman who was sitting beside the son, voiced back.

" If you may ask, be ready to hold your wedding Han, because it has become the trust of your late father, even before your father died, he has deposited his savings for the future you marry to Abi Waffiq." added Rohimah.

Karen stared fixedly, into the netra of the mother-in-law, there was a great hope in it. Karen approached Rohimah and clasped the hands of the middle-aged woman beside her.

" Yes mother, if it has become a will from the late father, then the mother just do it, we would be willing to be happy. Besides, if papa could talk, he would force us to do it." said Karen.

Rohimah hugged the beautiful girl who is now his daughter-in-law while crying happily.

" Thank you son." said Rohimah rubbing Karen's head while peeping Karen's forehead.

Shortly afterwards, the whole family deliberated over the execution of Hanafi and Karen's wedding feast.

Seeing the cousin's wife from her husband who was still wearing bridal clothes, Annisa also brought Karen inside, giving a change of clothes for Karen. A Muslim dress of hers that Nisa accidentally left at the home of her mother-in-law.
