I'm Not an Old Virgin
Chapters 21.3
One month already Shin was in the boarding house. Shin was already able to adapt to the pesantren environment. Where he had to share a room, share a bathroom, to share food. Shin mingled with all the young santri and even the mature santri. For Shin, the experience of studying in a boarding school is a new thing that is very fun throughout his life.
Life in this boarding school has taught Shin how to live a simple yet happy life and taught the true meaning and value of life. Shin began to study hard about the science of Islam. Learn to pray, learn to read the letters of the Qur'an, learn about aqidah, tawhid, fiqih and others. He is never ashamed to ask anyone what he does not know. Even he did not feel the prestige of learning to santri who was far below him though.
Twelve o'clock at night. Shin lay down his body on the bed which was just enough for him after dhikr together in every Friday night.
His gaze glared over his mind remembering the woman who until this moment still filled his heart.
"Where are you Norin? I miss you so much." Shin monologued and closed his eyes.
"Change, can I ask you something?" shin asked as he sat cross-legged in front of Abah on his next day.
"May Shin, ask him what Shin wants to know?"
"What is the law about marriage in the view of Islam?"
"The law of marriage depends on the circumstances and the intention of a person to perform a marriage son Shin. The law can be mandatory, can be circumcision, Better left behind, makruh can even be haram. The obligation to marry is intended for people who have the ability to get married and have a strong desire to channel their sexual passion, for example, they cannot be held back again so they are feared to fall into disobedience. The ability to marry is meant by me to be able to provide a living, which consists of dowry, sandang, food and board. If a person is in this position, then he is obliged to get married to avoid things that are not desirable.
Furthermore, the Extinction of marriage is intended for people who have the ability to marry, want, and have the desire to channel the passion of sexuality, but not to the extent feared will fall into disobedience. If someone is in this position, then he is circumcised to get married immediately.
The next marriage law is better left out. This law applies to people who want to channel the passion of sexuality but do not have the ability to provide. People who are in this position should postpone the desire to marry until they are able to.
And then the law of makruh. This applies to someone who does not want to get married, either because of his guardianship so, or because of an illness that exists in the person.
And finally, the prohibition of marriage applies to married people with the purpose of harming or other purposes that violate religious provisions. For example, if someone with a strong desire intends to hurt and torture a couple in marriage, then he is forbidden to marry.
Shin was stunned to hear Abah's explanation. His eyes began to glaze over.
"Why Shin ? is there a problem and can I know it?"
"I love a Muslim woman but I don't want to marry her. I don't want to lose him from my life. Is that the law of entry into the law of makruh bah?" asked Shin with trembling lips.
"What makes Shin not want to marry her?"
"People say my brain hurts because I don't want to get married. I have often witnessed the quarrels of my parents and their relationship has become strained and distant. and I don't want to get married because if I marry the woman I love, I'm afraid our relationship will become tenuous and we'll move away from each other just as much as my parents' marriage."
"Not everyone who is married is experiencing the same marriage as the marriage of Shin's parents. Marry with the intention of worshiping Allah. Because if we intend to worship, problems or conflicts that arise will feel light and beautiful. Worship is done of course expect the pleasure of Allah."
Shin sat pondering on his bed, pondering Abah's explanation of the law of marriage.

A clap of hands landed on his shoulder. Abdul resuscitates Shin from his daydream.
"Today we want to garden palawija will not come, brother?"
"Garden?"
"yes, last week we harvested it and now we want to replant it."
"What are you going to plant?"
Shin was silent for a moment then nodded. Shin wondered what the santri would do in the garden.
While in the cottage the daughter of a young santri called a beautiful woman who had just finished changing her clothes.
"Sir inay, brother..!" call santri youth while knocking on his room.
"yes for a moment." said from the inside. And soon the woman opened the door to her room.
"What's the Princess?"
"Said Umi Husna we cook again sak for santri men. because today they want to garden again."
"Oh, yaudah let's go to the kitchen."
Then, the princess and the beautiful woman wearing the big outfit and the big hijab stepped into the soup kitchen to help prepare the food.
After entering the soup kitchen they saw that there were already twenty students and Umi Husna, Abah Ahmad's wife who had been waiting for his arrival.
"Inai....!"
"Yes umi."
"Today santri putera will garden again. Therefore umi ask for help with you and other princess santri to cook food to prepare their lunch. And for the menu, it's up to you to do what."
"yes umi."
"well if that's the case, umi came out first."
After that, then, santri Puteri began busy cooking while santri putera busy hoeing the land that will be planted in palawija in a garden of a thousand meters that has been bought by Pak Ali for the activities of children santri on the sidelines they're off to study.
Shin's face flushed red. Sweat began to pour on his body. Five times to cover the ground.
"Sister Shin never seems to hold the hoe and dig the ground huh?"chirp Akbar who was watching Shin hoe. Shin stopped his activities and turned to Akbar.
"In Korea there is a hoe?" Abdul.
"i don't know what's going on because I'm digging in the ground for the first time with this tool"
"Lunch is here....!" shouted one of the santri. Shin and the others turned their heads towards the source of the voice. Four men were carrying containers filled with food. After that, they roll out a mat and look for banana leaves as rice ampoules and side dishes. Shin no longer felt awkward eating that way.
then, they began to eat voraciously, Shin's gaze fixed on a large tray of mountainous omelets. Shin took one omelet that had been cut into small pieces and then he put it into his mouth and chewed it. Instantly Shin was stunned. The taste of the omelette he ate was exactly the same as the taste of the omelet Norin made. His heart was pounding considering Norin.
"what....is Norin in this boarding school? why does this omelet have the same taste as the omelette? it's just a coincidence." Shin monologue.
Akbar turned to the man next to him who was silent about not eating.
"sister Shin why keep quiet, do you not like the food?"
"Mom, I don't, I love this omelette." Shin smiled then continued eating again.
