Moon

Moon
Ijab Qabul


“Ahhhh... child Mama beautiful gini” Mama cupped her hands in the face. The moon shouldered her simple hair with a small clap on the back. Mama bought a hair ornament because there is no flower decoration that can be pinned like other brides.


“That's the effect of her makeup is expensive Ma. So glowing face dianya” Afi mopped while smiling cynically.


“Hehehe... thanks Afi who is beautiful even though not wearing makeup... what would I be without you” Moon embraced Afi tightly, he most memorized that Afi most do not like to be rivaled.


“The most beautiful son of Mama is still Afi.. no one can miss” Mama Nisa added while smiling seductively.


“Halaaah Mama pleasantries, emang I do not have eyes.. I also know that Moon is beautiful” he let the Moon embrace him, although his speech often taut on the Moon, even if the Moon, everyone knows that Afi is a hard-line friend of the Moon.


“The clothes I use in RS aja Ma, if used from now shame later fit into RS”


“Bakalan allegedly wrong costume, enter RS but rich want graduation” he said while laughing, Moon re-inserted cloth and kebaya into the protective container of clothes that he had brought.


“It's okay to change his clothes in the hospital only, let's now want nine”


“Mama had already ordered a small meal for those present to stay brought at the same security guard Nico” Moon looked down embarrassed, fortunately there was Mama Nisa who thought of all things, and she was very happy, because he didn't think of getting there at all.


Arriving at the Hospital, there were several sisters in front of the Father's room, the feeling of the Moon immediately felt bad.


“Suster what's up? What is the condition of Mr drop?” his face was immediately worried.


“Ow... not just the Hospital Director phone to come here, he said want to marry yah?” Moon just nodded slowly, actually he did not feel good for the sisters and patients in the hospital, he was worried disturbing the peace of other patients. Sister Head who is big body is smiling, her face is already innately looks fierce so if the smile is also like grinning. He patted the Moon's shoulders slowly.


“It's okay don't be sad like that. Congratulations, may be a happy family” he said short while smiling gently. Moon until dumbly turned out to be a very good head nurse, then she followed Mama into the room. He was immediately surprised that the arrangement of the room had changed.


The bed for the other patient, already on the edge of the wall so that beside the bed Mr. there is room to store a table and six chairs that circle the table, the table, then there are some chairs that are neatly arranged so that they are not impressed.


“Ahh The month has come, wow it is beautiful but what would you like to wear that shirt wedding?” samuel's forehead immediately wrinkled at the sight of the Moon's clothes while Juno was neatly dressed in a full suit.. Inside it turned out that there were a lot of people, Mama Nisa's family, Ema, Nico and Juno who were looking at her fixedly, Moon was immediately nervous and lowered her head.


“Ehh this hasn't changed her clothes doc.. For a moment want to see Mr. du” he approached Mr, but it turned out to be sleeping even though the atmosphere in the room was not quiet. The moon pensive, you wear a suit on the outside of his patient's shirt, who brought you a suit, while he did not bring it yesterday because he thought you would be troubled to wear it.


“I put on a suit for your Father, so that it looks handsome even though he is sick.”


“Don't worry the material is comfortable really does not make your Father sultry” said doctor Samuel flat, he understood the Moon's concern that nodded his head in agreement. You look more normal wearing a suit. His eyes looked back at Juno who was still looking at him intently, this time Juno seemed to be smiling faintly as she looked at him and it made the Moon nervous.


“I want to change clothes first dok” he rushed to bring kebaya clothes and cloth to the toilet in the room, but then his eyes saw Benny who stood staring at the wall while busy talking to himself.


“Bismillahirahmanirahim, Bhranta Juno Aditya bin Bhanu Senggala I marry you.. eh kok mating kannya so even forget..” Benny seemed to frown while looking at the paper.


“De you again what?” he saw the paper Benny was holding that looked pale.


“Teh.. From the wrong talk that makes ijab kabulul” Benny's face looks pale. Moon smiled to see her sister, between wanting to laugh and sad to see her beloved sister who she cared for since baby so nervous because she had to be her sister's guardian..


“Do not need to memorize de.. you will just read aja” Moon actually wants to laugh but see the face of Benny who panics so pity;


“Ade is good at rote memorization, it's only two sentences but I don't memorize it.” Benny rubbed his neck roughly.


“Terus ade try to read as well, instead keblibet so read it” he really looks panicked.


“Udah calm just do not panic, the more panic we can not think” Moon hugged Benny.


“Still yes De... You are with Teteh now, not in vain teteh used to care for you again baby.”


“Eh now you who know Teteh married” rubbed Benny's back slowly, trying to calm down.


“If later Ade is wrong, Ade is afraid that you are angry and continue to hurt worse” he said slowly.


“Ahahahah will not be dear, you must be proud you can already be a marriage guardian. I can wait for you to make Teteh” tears in the corner of his eyes.


“Udah. don't continue, later you also smoothly”


“Here eat cake, Mama Nisa buyin cake a lot. Help Ema to make kebebagiin cake” if stress should be diverted attention. Benny rushes over to Ema who starts taking out the cake box to help Mama Nisa.


Fortunately, this month wore a shirt, so the process of changing clothes took place quickly and concisely. He felt lucky to have a cloth that had been modified into a skirt, unfortunately there was no large mirror so he could not check the appearance on the glass.


“Month... The forerunner has come” heard a knock and the voice of Mama Nisa outside, the Moon was stunned to take a deep breath. From that feeling he was already feeling unsettled, wanted to urinate or defecate but not at all. Earlier in the morning at breakfast he put food feels nauseous. It felt like no food could enter his mouth, finally just drinking hot sweet tea.


When he came out there were many people sitting in the room, apparently KUA Chief Pak Sugandi came with his wife who became a patient dr. Samuel, then there's the ruler who's been sitting at the table with the witnesses. Moon saw Juno and Benny already sitting also in a chair in their respective positions.


“Let's Tea soon start, Teh Bulan sit first here with Mama, later if given the same cue Penghulu will just sit there” Mama occupied the Moon in the chair where Afi, later, Nico and Ema had sat in an orderly manner.


“Yes Allah Eneng meni geulis kieu... Ema nepikeun ka pangling, whereas dangdos nyalira nya” (Yes Allah Eneng looks beautiful, Ema to pangling, whereas grooming itself well).  Ema shrank the tears on her cheeks, Moon smiled wryly, seeing Ema crying her heart became even more sad. He saw that the Father was positioned to sit leaning on the bed and staring at the table where it will be held akad.


The door opened and Samuel's doctor came in with another doctor who looked more senior, his face clean and wearing small transparent glasses. His face looks wise and good, because since entering the room his smile is not separated from his face.


“Ahh this witness from the female side is present. So we can start yah” penghulu looks to stand up to welcome the Director of the Hospital.


“Welcome doc... thank you for coming” they look shaking hands.


“Well let's start” he said Mr. Penghulu, Moon saw Benny's face that looked increasingly pale.


“For a while Sir.. I have not permission first to the Father want to be his guardian teteh” he stood quickly and approached the Father who stared nanar at the table where ijab kabul.


“Bapak... Ade asked permission to marry Teteh” Benny scooped the hand of the Father asking for blessing, His father just stared while nodding his head, his father, slowly then suddenly you cry at first slowly but then hard so sniffling.


The moon stood up and approached the Father,


“Bapak do not cry later so sick.. “ he patted Benny's shoulder apparently his sister even so go along crying while holding the hand of the Father, only he hid his face like he was salim.


“You even so follow the cry, already dong kasian Father so follow sad” Moon take a long breath if he can cry actually he also felt sad. But with many guests who have come, the Head of KUA, Penghulu, the Director of the Hospital and the family of Mama Nisa as a witness from the male side.


“Bapak... already do not cry, kasian guests have attended” Month remove tears Father


“Drink his Father yah” he thrust a glass with a straw so that you can drink.


“Ade drink let's not cry, later can not be a marriage guardian. because it is still small like nangis” said Moon firmly, Benny immediately sat up straight and wiped his tears, take a drinking glass from the hands of the Moon and be gulped down. Moon so want to laugh to see it, do not want to be called a child immediately trying to prove himself as an adult.


You have stopped crying and look calmer, apparently from earlier you save the turmoil and sadness but detained, once Benny asked permission to him, you like getting the opportunity to vent all his sadness.


“Alhamdulillah, it's okay Sir. If the condition is healthy would want to marry directly yah” Pak Head KUA sound wise comforting Father.


“Later if you are healthy have a chance to momong grandson sir do not worry and sad” continued Mr. Penghulu, Mr. nodded his head sign agreed. Benny kissed the hand of the Father and hugged him, unwittingly the hand of the Father raised and patted Benny's hand.


“Ehh Father his hands are strong can lift hands..alhamdulillah” Moon hugged Father and Benny together, he said,


“Let's Benny come back again, his kasian guests all waiting for” Moon wiped Benny's tears and pushed him back to the table.


“Bapak... pray the same Benny” Father nodded steadily, Moon felt relieved Father look calmer.


“Well we start, witnesses from both sides have come, thank you Mr. Director of the Hospital who has been present in the midst of his busyness. Sorry when Mr. Doctor Samuel mentioned the Director of the Hospital as a witness on the part of women. I thought Mr. non-Muslim so can not be a witness but said the doctor, the director is Muslim thank God.”.


“Please check the name is correct to both witnesses”


“Well I say that the order in the marriage contract consists of reading the holy verse that I will read, then the sermon from the father of the Head of KUA, ijab kabul, marriage prayer and then the reading of the sydgat taklik.”


Then Mr. Penghulu recited the holy verse of the Quran which initiated the marriage contract, after which KUA Head Mr. Sugandi gave the sermon of marriage, one of the soothing tausyah given by the Head of KUA.


“For the two bride-to-be who today are getting married, I would like to convey that a marriage conducted with a limited circumstances like this does not make this marriage has no meaning and will not bring happiness.”


Beautiful walimah place, sparkling clothes, festive party atmosphere does not promise that the wedding that will last until death separates them.”


“A handsome man and a beautiful girl will create a beautiful wedding party, but a man of faith and a woman of righteousness will create a marriage that is sakinah, mawadah and warohmah. Wh why? because marriage is the longest and longest worship that will complete half the religious journey and the lives of both of you.”


“Son Juno Allah created for you the Moon as the wife of many women who are on earth but only with her will you feel at ease, as well as for the Moon, God has made between you both love and compassion. If you realize it all then that is really a sign as a people who think,"


“I want to remind you both, that your partner is a dress for you. The husband becomes a garment for his wife, he must be able to protect, cover his wife's imperfections. Similarly for a wife, she became a dress for her husband even though maybe the clothes may not fit or not beautiful but I see here the Moon Deck is beautiful well, well, she will provide protection for her husband, when he is sick, has a disaster or problem during his life in the world. Nak Moon should be able to cover up the imperfections of the husband so that Nak Juno seems to be the perfect man in everyone's eyes even though it is really annoying. That's what my wife usually says behind me ..hehehehe.” Mrs Meri Sugandi's wife looked pouted with a smile.


“Nak Juno you must remember that the world is best jewelry is a virtuous woman, who is able to accompany her husband beside her rather than behind her. For that be a good household leader, who is able to carry responsibility in a born and inner way over the led is his family.”


Everyone nodded his head listening to the wedding sermon from the Head of KUA, until the sermon ended everything seemed to listen well.


“Good thank you Mr. Sugandi, S.Ag for the wedding sermon, then we continue on the core event that is ijab kabul where the marriage guardian is his sister. Let's get ready, please the marriage guardian and the groom hands each other shake hands”


“The marriage guardian recites the ijab first as a sign of submission that is immediately answered without a pause by the groom reciting his Qabulus as a sign of acceptance in one breath.”


Benny seemed to take a deep breath calming himself then with a vibrating voice he recited the ijab


"Bismillahirahmanirahim, Bhranta Juno Aditya, I marry you to my older brother Rembulan Danurdara Maheswari bint Harlan Suherlan with a dowry a set of prayer tools and a set of jewelry weighing 105 grams, paid in cash,"


Juno tightly gripped Benny's hand and answered quickly.


“I received his marriage and marriage, Rembulan Danurdara Maheswari bint Harlan Suherlan with the dowry, paid in cash”


“How legitimate?” ask Mr. Penghulu while looking at the witness.


“Sah.. Sah...” several people answer simultaneously.


“Alhamdulillah.. let us now pray together” then Mr. Penghulu recites the prayer guaranteed by all the occupants of the room.


“Please pair it with” Pak Penghulu sign Mama Nisa to bring Moon sitting next to Juno.


“Next is the recitation of the alik sidqat that will be read by Nak Juno to his wife, Rembulan”


“Sidqat Talik is not a marriage harmony, but a part of the marriage contract as a reminder for the husband who will be a protector for his wife as stated by Mr. Head of KUA”


“Please bring Nak Bulan to sit with her husband now, can be held by his wife's hand, now already shah”


The moon looked down embarrassed, from earlier saw the process of kabul ijab from the back seat with Mama Nisa. His mind was like hovering, and all the stages in the marriage contract made him feel palpitating indistinctly. In a matter of minutes everything will change, she will be the wife of a man. His cold hands were tightly grasped by Juno while Juno read out siqat ta’lik.


“Bismilbornrohmanirrohim”


“On this day of June 4, 2018 I Bhranta Juno Adiyta Bin Bhanu Senggala promise will sincerely raise my wife named Rembulan Danurdara Maheswari bint Harlan Suherlan well according to the teachings of Islam”


“To my wife I stated sigat taklik with as follows”


“When I, leaving my wife for two years in a row, do not give her a mandatory living three months, hurt my wife's body or body or, or, letting or not caring for my wife for six months over”


“Because of my actions my wife did not want to and filed a lawsuit with the Religious Court. So if the lawsuit is accepted by the court, then my wife pays Rp. 10,000 as iwad or replacement to me, then my talaq falls one to him”


“To the religious court I gave the power to receive the iwad money and handed it to the National Amil Zakat Agency for the purposes of social worship.


“Bandung, June 4, 2018. Signed Bhranta Juno Aditya.”


Juno stared fixedly at the Moon, a gaze that had never been the Moon from a Bhranta Juno Aditya before.


“His view will be continued again, now Son Moon can kiss her husband's hand and Nak Juno is allowed to kiss Nak Moon's forehead.”


“Until there first if here, the others later if you are alone” Pak Penghulu like to know that the Moon is nervous, so just keep flirting.


After the wedding ceremony, ended with a warm greeting given by the Director of the Hospital, to the bride and groom, he gave a special gift for Moon and Juno.


“I can not give a voucher stay at RS well.. hahahah” everyone laughs.


“I give a gift to stay in hotel in front of hospital for three days to this newlyweds”


“I am happy to be present at this event. I pray that you become a family that is very happy and warohmah” everyone in the room guarantees what is conveyed by the Director of the Hospital.


The sad atmosphere was again felt when the Moon asked for prayers and blessings to the Father, who again cried until it sobbed. Old Father hugged Juno tightly, as if to move all the happiness and calm that he felt because of the presence of a man who is expected to be a protector for his son.


Among all the occupants of the room who continued to congratulate, only Nico looked agitated. He looked at his phone and then took a deep breath. Afi missed noticing what was happening with her husband, the euphoria of the marriage that she and Mama so desperately hoped for that she did not notice the awkwardness as if only Nico was unhappy with this marriage.


“Fi I want to go down first for a while there needs to” he told Afi, he was seen rushing out. Then people seemed to enjoy a light meal that had been prepared. Suddenly the door of news opened in haste.


“Month... “ screams of men at the door divert the attention of the Moon from the Father who was sitting he bribe snacks. Teachings….


“Don't say you're married…. You said you want to get married with me” Anjar walked quickly towards the Moon who looked shocked and amazed.


“Yesterday you said I had to go to Bandung and tell Dad that I want to marry you. Now that I've come, I've brought money for the operation. Mr. Kevin has prepared it for you” Anjar's hand gripped tightly the Moon's hand.


“Aaan...Anjaaar…. Jaaaa..don't here” Moon looks panicked, his eyes look towards the Father who looks like a confused.


“You're not married, are you?” asked Anjar quickly while pulling the Moon's hand, everyone who was in the room seemed to be amazed.


“Anjaar don't be like this please” Moon trying to release the hand grip Anjar who gripped his hand tightly.


“Last parallel.. please .. Mr. again sick Njar” Moon tried to make a soft voice, but Anjar like not care about it.


“My father who will marry Rembulan” said Anjar firmly while staring at Father.


“Anjar.. Lepasss ih” Moon tried to release the hand grip Anjar, until finally the jolt from behind made Anjar pushed to the side without releasing the hand of the Moon.


“Arghhhhh...” shouted the Moon that almost fell down, fortunately Juno's hand that held him back until it did not fall but Anjar's hand pull on the one that gripped his sleeve resulted in a torn Moon shirt. Wrrkkkkkkp…. The sound of a hard enough tear looks half sleeve kebaya shirt attracted by Anjar's hand.


“Arghhhh The moon screamed, a part of her arm from near her shoulder was exposed to a clear, smooth white. Juno clenched his wife tightly, quickly seeing that part of the Moon's hand was open he opened the suit and attached it to the Moon's body.


“Your bastard... “ Juno's angry gaze when he saw Anjar who was like a confused holding a tear of the Moon's clothes. Juno pulls Anjar up and drags her away, but Anjar tries to break away and move back towards the Moon.


“Am sorry month.. I cum….. Uhuuuuk” punches Juno's hand into Anjar's stomach stopping her steps, everyone screaming.


“Ahhhh...” when Anjar then fight and push Juno.. The moon looked puzzled as her eyes stared at the two men who were fighting before her eyes. His confusion stopped when he heard a loud noise.tit..tit...tit...tit...tit..the monitoring machine by the bed of the Father rang loudly, and he saw the Father looked like a seizure.


“Bapaaaaaaaakkk...” that is the last shadow he saw.
