Istikharah Unites Us
Wedding preparations

A few days ago the family of Bang Rafli came back home to hand over the money and also set the date of the wedding. There's only two months left from now. Ah, that short.

"Mom, if later Sister Mea is married we are just two donk, Mom" I said to Mother with a sad feeling.

"Yes, it's okay, brother. Mea is almost 24 years old, she deserves to be married. Not good for long anyway." My mother advised me who was sad.

"Yes, Mom."

"Later if Aura is married also Mother only lives alone, Mother does not mind, even Mother is happy because the children of Mother have met each other's soul mate, can live better and happier."

"Ah, don't talk about it, ma'am. Aura doesn't want to get married."

"Hustt... It's not good to say that."

"Aura was afraid that later I would get a husband like a father who likes to play hands, Mom" I said slowly and leaned on Mom's shoulder.

"If you're scared or traumatized by past events, you understand, son. But that doesn't mean sister isn't married. What happened to Mom and Dad is enough to be a lesson for Sister so as not to be wrong in choosing. I used to love your father too much, until I didn't ask God's opinion first. So now I regret it, so I hope later if you want to choose a partner must involve Allah yes, ask Allah's opinion through Istikharah Prayer." Mother advised me at length, while I still continued to lean on her shoulder.

"It's Allah, ma'am." I replied briefly.

"Yes already, you went to take a bath, it's already this afternoon." Mother ordered.

"Okay, ma'am." I answered briefly and passed away leaving Mom.

What Mother says is true, love without involving God can make us lost and wrong in choosing. Because what looks good, not necessarily really good for us. Only God knows what is best for his servants.

But even so I do not want to try to open my heart, it's just that until now there is not a single man who can make me fall in love. "How can I fall in love? If anyone wants Aura to throw her face away." said my little heart and made me chuckle to myself.

"What's so funny, brother?" sister Mea asked as she saw me laughing to myself while heading for the bathroom.

"Huh? Nothing, Brother. Brother made Sister surprised." I said.

"Owh, sorry. Afterwards Brother was surprised to see Sister laughing herself, want to enter the bathroom anyway. Somewhat horror how that is."

"Hehe, Brother could have. Brother bathe first yes, sister." I said while grinning the horse. I no longer know what reason. Huhahh. Brother Mea just nodded.

Today Mother and Sister Mea is very troubled to prepare the names of relatives and friends who will be invited at her wedding event Kak Mea.

"Not until someone forgets, son. Later we will be considered arrogant." said Mother to Sister Mea.

"Yes, Mom."

"How did you respond when Mea said she wanted to get married?" ask Mother to Mea.

"If according to Mea the father is ordinary, Mom. Even if you say you are happy with this news." replied Mea.

"Then do you want to come to the wedding?"

"Dad said in Shaa Allah came, later when Ijab Qobul Daddy wanted to be the guardian of Mea."

"Owh, good then."

"Oh yes, Mom. I've booked a teratak same tableware, ma'am?"

"Already, Mother had the same deal with the owner. All the same make up and also 5 pairs of wedding clothes."

"Waaaahhh, Mea is so impatient, Mom. I want to wear his shirt." said Kak Mea cheerfully.

Seeing Kak Mea's expression like that made me feel confident that the choice was right. However, Mea knew better what the nature of the man who would be her husband was.

"So excited Brother" I said and followed by sitting with Mother and Sister Mea.

"It feels like you want to explode, brother? Hahahh." I said with a big laugh.

"Can be. Hahah." then we laughed together.

After finishing writing the names on the invitation, Kak Mea composed them as neatly as possible. Each address is arranged separately for easy later when the invitation is spread. One address in a plastic bag.

My mother and sister Mea went to spread the invitation to ride a motorcycle. I'm at home guarding the kiosk while watching TV. "May you go and go home, O God." - my heart.

"Ra, buy chili with onions, Ra." said our neighbor Kak Ayu.

"Yes, how much?"

"The red pepper is 1 ounce, the red onion is also 1 ounce. Same vegetables 1 tie." he asked.

Then I started weighing red chili and after weighing the onion.

"What's the total, Ra?" ask Ayu when I'm done preparing the order.

"Rp.10,000 Brother." I replied.

"Oh yeah, you hear Mea's getting married?" ask her while handing her a purple sheet of money.

"This is Allah, Brother."

"When?"

"About another month and a half, brother. Later, my brother will be invited as well. Hehehh." I replied with a whimper.

"Oh. Which person is the same?" ask her again.

"Namoterated Person, Brother."

"Away yes. How long have you known him? What does her husband-to-be work for?" the question is getting longer and more.

"If that Aura doesn't know, sister. The aura is not the same as Mea. Brother if you want to know more, the bagusan nanya directly with Kak Mea only." answered me.

"Owh is. Where's mea?"

"Go with me to spread the invitation."

"Oh yes, then I'll just go home. Just say hello to Mea, hopefully smoothly until the day H."

"Yes, brother." I answered briefly.

Neighbors are already on kepo. What is that information for, huh? I am the candidate of his Sister-in-law did not want to know what he worked and so on.

"Btw it's been 2 hours, why did Mother and Sister Mea not come home yet? Aren't you hungry yet? It's lunch time." I wonder in my heart. I looked out of the house, there was no sign of Mother and Sister Mea. I finally went back inside and watched TV.

Half an hour later Mother and Sister Mea came home. They both look very tired. They got off the bike and sat in front of the TV. I went to the kitchen to get some water.

"Capek huh?" my many.

"Banget, Sister." replied Brother Mea.

"This isn't all either, brother. Continue tomorrow again." said Mother.

"Yes already. Want to have lunch right away? Hidangin's sister's food is yes."

"Yes, Brother. We are hungry" said Mea.

I rushed to prepare food. I was hungry too, but still wanted to wait for Mother and Sister Mea to come home to eat together. It's not good to eat alone.
