New Hope Together Dusk That Is No Longer the Same
My destiny

“ ... what misses me will never be my destiny, and what is destined for me will never miss me.”

~Sayyidina Umar bin Khattab~

The application event at Nyai Safar and when Faris picked up Aisha boyong from the boarding school was the last time they met face to face before the wedding day.

Because in addition to Faris which is very dense schedule, also because of the customary tradition that requires Aisha in pingit before the wedding day, the reason for this pingit tradition is to foster longing between the two prospective brides, the reason for the pingit, so that at the wedding the two will be happier because they did not meet for a long time.

They do use Javanese customary traditions, as both Aisha and Faris, are, both of them are of Javanese descent and the family agreed to hold a wedding using Javanese customary traditions as a form of preserving cultural heritage.

Bang Faris still owed the same explanation Aisha!

Just this time Aisha got the courage to ask Faris. Because indeed after the application event, Aisha and Faris' relationship became a little awkward, not as warm as before when they were just friends.

Across there, there is a curve created from the corner of Faris' lips looking at the contents of the message from her prospective lover Halal who is seen using a different style of speech than before, no longer wearing ‘aku’, ‘kamu’.

Tring ... (incoming message)

Cie ... call him already use Abang aja, already impatient well? :D

Mother said, it should be made up to be polite with prospective priests, starting from the style of speech for example. Let's not be awkward later.

It had been five minutes to see a blue check mark of two, but there was no reply.

Farisss Bang!

There's a blue check mark of two more. Aisha pegged her phone screen, hoping for the word ‘typing’ from what she was waiting for, but nil. Suddenly his phone rang, a call sign came in, printed from ‘calon imam’.

“Hah called?” Aisha in the mist

by oneself.

Didn't they used to spend time by phone just to share stories, but now the situation is different, Aisha really feels awkward.

“Hallo, Assalamualaikum,” said Faris from across, but there was no answer from Aisha.

“Hallo?” said Faris again because there was no sound from across.

“Ica babe ..”

“Hah!” faris' call made Aisha close her own mouth, embarrassed, awkward, that's what Aisha feels right now.

“Newly called so already shocked, he said must be made up,” said Faris teasing Aisha.

“Ih! That's also Bang.”

“What do you want to call dong? Honey? Baby?”

“Ih .. Bang Faris!” yelled Aisha, she was really embarrassed to hear what Faris said.

“What Ica dear?” again Faris teased him, imagined in the mind of Faris Aisha's face who was frowning annoyed but actually added an impression of anxiety for Faris.

“Tuh instead divert the conversation ih, Aisha's question has not been answered.”

“Iya yes later Brother ulangin.”

“Kok later anyway? Now why?”

“Ica want her ears hot because of the long story Denger Abang on the phone?”

“Nothing, Aisha was already curious,” replied Aisha agreed.

“But Brother does not want,” replied Faris makes Aisha more vulnerable.

“Ih why?”

“Because Brother dear same Ica.”

Faris's voice sounded from across.

“Abang promise after kosher surely Abang tell everything, now Ica must sleep. Kan tomorrow siraman event.”

“Appointment?”

“Iya darling. Now sleep well, Brother also still has an operating schedule.”

“Yes already, Ica sleep first. Brother don't forget to rest also well.” Aisha felt ashamed of herself when she said that.

“Any bidadiku! Assalamualaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam,” replied Aisha, then the call was interrupted.

On the lips both created a beautiful curve after ending the call.

The news of Faris and Aisha's marriage was inevitable throughout the Hospital, including Karina.

Not infrequently shouts from female staff when they learned the news, not infrequently also said that Faris was PHP.

It turns out that all this time they have been mistaken with good attitudes, sweet words, and all the treatment of Faris. Faris who is a man with a good personality never realized if his treatment so far has led to many misunderstandings.

It is the law of nature, men use logic, while women use feelings.

Some are wholeheartedly supportive, some are envious to feel incomparable, like a beautiful doctor who is clenching his fingers firmly in the corner of the room without anyone noticing.

At the residence Aisha has been conjured a la kraton Javanese custom marriage, the installation of decorations and decorations of young palm leaves has also been displayed as an entrance decoration that indicates that in his residence will hold a ghost or wedding celebration.

Today at the residence of each bride is holding a ceremony of recitation and ceremony, which means in the Javanese traditional wedding procession, tomorrow is the day of the main event, namely akad and reception.

The study event is certainly intended to ask Allah SWT for blessings so that all wedding events can take place smoothly. After the ceremony, a series of traditional ceremony siraman began.

Previously there were two representatives from the Aisha residence sent to the Faris residence, which is to send water flush from the Aisha residence that has been mixed from seven different springs, namely, including zam-zam water and a variety of flowers called Air Perwito Adi. The representative of the Aisha residence also aims to be a witness to the ceremony at the Faris residence.

“Congratulations Mas, Hasan was happy,” said the man in batik clothes who added to his good looks.

“Indeed yes San, what is destined to be ours will not be possible to miss us,” replied Faris to his cousin's sister who without realizing it was hard to withstand the tightness that struck.

“So the woman I've been telling you about is Aisha?”

Faris answered him with a nod.

“Mas cepetan ready, it has been awaited outside,” said Gus Hasan ended their conversation.

There is a separate pain felt by Faris when the ceremony flush, because indeed all who participated in the procession is a large family.

While Faris, his parents are gone, this is what makes Faris more bitter when it comes to doing sungkeman to Pakde and Bukdenya who are none other than Kyai Safar and Nyai Hamidah, respectively, where he should have done it to his father as well as his mother.

“You are strong yo le, do not forget to pray also father and mother,” whispered Nyai Hamidah when Faris was sitting in front of him.

Tears have also flooded Nyai Hamidah's face, how she remembers when her brother was the victim of an accident and left Faris sepatangkara. Therefore, Nyai Hamidah and Kyai Safar were the ones who replaced Faris' parents after his death.

Faris who heard the whispers and his Bukdenya stuffing increasingly tightly kissed the back of his hands, trying to withstand the tightness that never subsided.

Just like Aisha who is also trying to hold tight when the uncle who actually carried her after the ceremony flush, which should be done by her father.
