New Hope Together Dusk That Is No Longer the Same
Our Day

The weather today is so bright, in the sky there is not the slightest cloud that covers the bias of the sun.

The universe seems to be happy to see the event that is expected to occur only once in a lifetime.

For every girl, a wedding dress is the epitome of happiness of all time that is always awaited in her life.

When a girl is betrothed, it is the father who will feel the most loss. Where a man will shake his father's hand, sowing kabul for a change of responsibility of a father to his son-in-law.

Aisha looked up at the sky from her wide-open window, hoping it would show the father she had longed for. The father who was supposed to drive her to the beach today.

"Dad, today Aisha is getting married to Aisha's chosen man. Aisha wanted me to be here, watching how she took over responsibility for Aisha from mom and dad. May the father always be placed in the best place by His side, "said Aisha in her sobbing.

Slowly Aisha removed the droplets on her net end, then tidied up her makeup, as it was her happy day, the day every girl dreamed of.

"Isn't that ready, baby?" tanya Maya who was followed by Ning Sabina when approaching her daughter in the room.

"God willing, ma'am" replied Aisha steadily.

"God's beauty ..." praise Ning Sabina in amazement at Aisha's beauty.

"Thank you Ning who is prettier," Aisha replied which made everything chuckle.

"Yo wes let's go down, everything is waiting for Aisha," said Nyai Hamidah who suddenly appeared from behind the door.

Maya leads Aisha slowly down the stairs, if the application is held in the pesantren, but the agreement is of course at the bride's house.

A man who looked more dashing with a Javanese wedding dress similar to the one Aisha was wearing was sitting in front of her uncle, the uncle who would replace her father to become Aisha's guardian.

"Calm down Ris, don't strain like that" said Kyai Safar, who saw Faris crumpling his fingers.

"Yes naturally tense to Pakde, wong want to mengehalalin children. It's a big responsibility" Faris whispered to Pakde beside her.

“Already know the weight but still kepengen.”

“If a servant has been able, then marry. Because by getting married then he has perfected half his religion,” replied Faris steady to Pakdenya.

“It's big it turns out Pakde yo's nephew,” said Kyai Safar who actually teased Faris.

"But for ijab the fog has been broken, right?" continued.

"Yes obviously Pakde's poultice, just do it during the night," replied Faris plain who suddenly invited Pakdenya's laughter.

While Gus Hasan who was beside his brother was more silent. Precisely he was conditioning his heart to stay strong watching the girl of his dreams was actually edited by his cousin.

In the midst of Faris' conversation with Kyai Safar, there was a sound of someone walking down the stairs, yes someone is none other than Aisha who looks so enchanting in a dress of kebaya and traditional Javanese batik cloth that still breathes Islami with hijab, without having to use paes but equipped with cuduk mentul, but also, mountain bouncy flowers to sungsun necklaces that still exude traditional elegance combined with Islamic sharia.

Faris looked at him without a blink, he was fixated, fascinated, about the beauty of the angel who would soon become his eternal lover.

"The groom is ready?" ask the ruler who broke Faris' daydream for a moment.

"Yes I'm ready" Faris replied.

"Sabar le, soon halal," seduced Pakdenya.

The scholars of jurisprudence argue related to the language used when kabul may use words in any language, not bound by one language, as long as the pronunciation can be understood and show a sense of ridho and agree.

As Ibn Taymiyyah said that kabul ijab when the marriage contract can be done with language, words, or any action that is considered to have stated the occurrence of marriage by the general public.

As happened at Aisha's residence today, a man who never unexpectedly shook the hand of Aisha's guardian, then said his marriage contract at that time.

“Brother Faris Zein Abdullah bin Haris Abdullah, I marry and I marry you to my niece Aisha Ameera Al-Insani bint Muhammad Ameer with a gold dowry weighing 25 grams, twenty-five million rupiah and ten Kuwaiti dinars were paid in cash,” said Aisha's uncle, shaking Faris' hand.

With a single breath, Faris uttered the qobul aloud, hoping that Aisha would hear it from a different corner of the room.

“I received the marriage and marriage of Aisha Ameera Al-Insani bint Muhammad Ameer to me with the dowry paid in cash.”

“How's witness? Valid?” ask pengulu lantang.

“Sah.” Answer the whole room compact.

“Alhamdulillah ..”

After the ijab and kabul were carried out and they had officially become husband and wife, Faris approached Aisha in her room.

“Assalamualaikum ya baabarrahmaan (May salvation be bestowed upon you, door of affection),” said Faris lirih when he was in front of Aisha.

“Waalaikumsalam yaa sayyidal amiini (May salvation also be with you o trusted master),” replied Aisha with the most beautiful smile that Faris saw.

Aisha grabbed Faris' hand, dipped it dahdim, Faris felt a clear grain coming along wet his hand. Faris himself was trying so that there was no ditch at the end of his eyes that might show his weakness.

Faris then leads Aisha to the main room in front of the penghulu to sign the marriage papers and pin the wedding ring to each other.

After everything is finished, Faris and Aisha are guided to the dressing room to change clothes for the ceremony procession, the traditional Javanese reception which is carried out after ijab and qobul.

“Mas in the next room yes,” said makeup artist who saw Faris still holding Aisha's hand up to the women's makeup room.

“Well it is already halal Mba,” replied Faris plain.

“But the time is yes Mas want to change clothes here too,” said makeup artist chuckled with Faris's behavior.

“Yes is okay .. aww sick yes Alloh,” said Faris grimaced to feel his waist like bitten by an ant. Who else if it wasn't Aisha's doing, she deliberately pinched her husband before she continued her sentence.

“Pinched kok is beautiful?” asked Faris while stroking her waist.

“Lagian bar-bar.”

“Not bar-bar, later you fear kangen if I stay,” goda Faris who is increasingly anxious to see the red hue on Aisha's cheeks is increasingly visible.

“Ah yes I came out,” said Faris raised his hand when he saw his wife's hand preparing with the position to pinch him again.

“Daddy dear,” again Faris tease Aisha.

Aisha smiled at the behavior of the man who is now her husband, but she was not used to it all so sometimes she felt ashamed of herself.

“Sorry yes Mba,” said Aisha to the makeup artist when Faris had left the room.

“New Mba, newlyweds,” makeup artist answers chuckles.

Aisha covered her face with her palms, hiding the hue on her cheeks due to her husband's behavior.

Faris was ready with a black custom wedding dress combined with the same patterned batik that Aisha wore. Not to forget as a symbol of bravery, Faris wore a Ladrang-shaped keris and was given a Kolong Keris flower tucked in the back of the belt. The keris is engraved on the stalk and given round circle-shaped jewelry like a ring.

Immediately Faris approached Aisha in the bridal dressing room, how fascinated she was when she saw Aisha was ready with the same bridal dress she was wearing.

If Aisha was wearing kebaya and batik cloth during the marriage contract, then, now the concept of Aisha's wedding dress for the next traditional ceremony is a Javanese traditional dress that is modified into a dress that looks more charming with the tail at the bottom so that it looks more modern but does not leave the custom.

Not to forget the hijab section is still equipped with sunduk mentul and mountain bouncy flowers that make Aisha's beauty more radiant.

“Abang ...” call Aisha pat Faris' arm still pecking at the doorstep.

“Hah?” faris was surprised.

“Ayo,” invite Aisha.

“Oh already?” replied Faris who looked still confused.

“Makanya ngajakin also because already Bang.”

Faris smiled scratching his temple that did not itch, if in front of Aisha he seemed to lose consciousness. Then Faris reached out her hand which was immediately greeted by Aisha's grasp. They stepped together towards the anticipated guarantee.
