BDJ 65:MY RIBS
If asked what month is the most awaited by Muslims? The answer is definitely the month of Ramadan. The holy month. The month is more important than the other months. As the Prophet Shallahu alaihi wasalam said, Ramadan is the month of Allah. His virtue over the other months is like the primacy of God compared to His being.
In the holy month, the glory and the blessing of this signifies that all the doors of heaven are open, while the doors of hell are closed, even demons are shackled. In addition, Allah Subhanahu wata’ala also keep humans from despicable and vile behavior, so that more practice of goodness to remove sin.
The holy month of Ramadan this time is also very special for the Radityan family, because their eldest son finally returned with his small family. They can welcome the holy month together, and close it with victory and a new bond that will be established between two families. As per the plan agreed by both sides, the marriage between Nathan and Alea will take place after the holy month of Ramadan. More precisely in the month of Shawwal, as stated in the book of Qurratu uyun, that a good marriage is in the month of Shawwal and is destroyed in the month of Ramadan. Proposals from the hadith narrated by Sayyidah Aisyah radiallahu anhu.
Friday’at, Sayyidul Ayyam, or Rajanya day, the grandest day, was chosen as the day on which two human children will be married both religiously and legally. In order to legalize the relationship between the two, with the aim of creating a healthy household life and warohmah in the future. In Al-Qur’an Surat Al-Jumuah verses eight to Nine, Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala explained that jum’at has privileges compared to other days.
Jum’at day is also referred to as the day of relationship and marriage by the Prophet Shallahu alaihi wasalam, because the previous Prophets were married on this day. Call it the marriage of Prophet Adam Alaihi greeting with Siti Hawa, Prophet Yusuf Alaihi greeting with Zulaikha, Prophet Musa Alaihi greeting with Shafura bint Nabi Shu’aib Alaihi greeting, Prophet Sulaiman Alaihi greeting with Bilqis, Nabi, Prophet Muhammad Shallahu alaihi wasalam with Siti Khadijah, Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasalam with Siti Aisyah, until the marriage of Sayyidina Ali ibn Abi Talib with Sayyidinah Fatimah Az-Zahra.
Another privilege of getting married on Friday’at is because Friday’at is the recommended day, those who get married on Friday’at will get blessings, including holidays, the best day, the best day, for on this day the Prophet Adam Alaihi salam was created, put into heaven, and on that day the Prophet Adam Alaihi salam was expelled from heaven.
“So how? Alea wants to use a wedding dress design syar’I from whom?”
The question was again thrown, making Alea who was presented by 4 wedding dress plans syar’I seem increasingly confused. This new wedding dress syar’I, not to mention there are several Abaya designs that Alea must choose. Abaya itself is a garment that comes from the Middle East, simple in shape, like a robe. Abaya is usually termed as arabic, because it is commonly used by Muslim women in other parts of the world—covering North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
“Alea use the first design only. Design Mamah Gea and Onty Lunar.”
The two owners of the name immediately smiled sumringah while looking. They are one of the famous designers of the country that is no less famous. Their work has also been known by many people, even went international. However, they do not hesitate to offer other famous designer designs, including the design of the class designer Ivan Gunawan—, one of the famous designers in the country. All of that is to support the happy day Alea Ananta Rumi who will soon be married.
Leaving less than one month left, making both parties really go the extra mile to prepare all the needs for the wedding. Since arriving in Indonesia, Alea was immediately faced with various milestones of marriage that she had to choose her own. While the larger circle has been taken care of by the parents with the groom.
“Alea is sure?” tanya Airra made sure.
As a mother, she wants the best for her daughter. Therefore, Airra also worked hard to prepare for the princess' happy day.
“Iya, Mah. Alea prefers the design of Mamah Gea and Onty Lunar.”
Although not used to calling Gea with the frills of ‘mamah’, Alea still had to get used to it. He will soon become Gea's son-in-law.
“Mbak Airra take it easy, we will try our best. All the abilities we will muster to make Alea's wedding dress,” Lunar said with a big smile.
“Of course. I feel so honored to be working with you, Lun. Moreover, we work together to make the wedding dress of my son-in-law.”
Lunar smiled. “Iya, Ma'am. I just feel like I'm still a dream. It turns out we'll soon be family.”
Gea nodded while replying with a smile as well. Everyone is happy because of Nathan and Alea's marriage. If they could, they even wanted the day to arrive soon. The day on which two families will unite because of a marriage between a pair of lovebirds.
“Alea minglingan rest first, pity from the morning was told to choose this and that.” Lunar said as he laid out the plans scattered on the table.
“Iya, darling. Better you rest first,” added Gea.”
Airra nodded. He also agreed with their idea, for Alea to rest first. Alea has been working since morning—choose this and that, consider this-that, and so on. They are currently performing fasting.
“Better you go up and rest first, dear. You look tired,” said Airra while stroking the princess temple. “Rest gih. You should not lack rest let alone lack of fit.
“Good, Mah.”
Alea finally agreed. He is really soybean all day, because he is busy taking care of various wedding trinkets. He then told the mothers to take a short break in his room. Today there were many agendas Alea had to work on, as well as Nathan. Her husband-to-be this morning had come to Radityan's residence to deliver the mother, then she had to join Anzar and some Radityan men. They have to take care of other wedding needs.
The intensity of the meeting between them is getting less and less, because of the busyness of each. However, it was as if God knew if they both wanted to meet things for just a moment. The man who had once appeared in Alea's mind suddenly appeared, blocking his net.
“Assalamu’alaikum, Ar-rumi.”
“Waalaikum’salam, Kak.” Alea answered the greeting while looking down. Maintaining views—Gadhul bashar.
“Where are you going, Ar-rumi?”
The handsome man who was wearing a baby blue shirt today seemed to be smiling unbeknownst to Alea. He felt there were millions of butterflies flying in the chest cavity every time Alea called her mother with the frills of ‘mamah’.
“Can I ask for a little time, Ar-rumi? I want to show you something.”
“Bby, Kak.”
Nathan's smile was still on his lips. “Then let's follow me. Something I want to show you.”
Alea nodded. He then walked slowly behind Nathan, following the man's footsteps wherever he went. After a few minutes of walking, it turned out that Nathan was taking Alea beside the Radityan mansion. Entrance area of a large park in the residence Radityan. A place where the trees of spruce, pine, damar, until dates grow tall, lush and neatly lined. One of the unreal spots in the Radityan mansion area, because of its beauty that looks like an optical illusion.
The place where young Van’ar proposed to Aurra. The place where young Van’ar expressed his feelings.
A place that holds a lot of history in the past.
“What do you really want Brother to show?”
Nathan smiled again. The reason led here to steal time together, even though there was such a distance stretched between them.
“I found a treasure and want to share it with you, my future wife.”
A red hue converged on Alea's face, fortunately well camouflaged. “H-treasure? Mean Sister?”
“See this.”
Nathan shifted his body so that Alea could see a tree trunk that had broken and fallen to the ground. Meanin?
“This is what you mean by treasure?” asked Alea confusedly.
Nathan was aware of the confusion, so he was more than happy to see it. “Look more closely, Ar-rumi. Then you will find the hidden treasure.”
Alea squinted. He then scanned the tree trunk. One minute, two minutes, three minutes, until five minutes passed, he could not find what Nathan meant.
“Where, Brother?”
Nathan smiled wider when he saw the confusion of the future wife. He then squatted a little closer to the tree trunk, but kept his distance from Alea.
“Look, this is a treasure I mean.”
Alea sharpened the vision. On top of the broken tree trunk that Nathan pointed at, there was? very small, similar to a mushroom. Parasites.
“Udumbara flower?” guess Alea be careful. If not wrong, the plant looks like a mushroom is Udumbara flower.
Nathan nodded. He recognized the intelligence of the future wife in guessing. “Hm. You're right, this is Udumbara flower. One type of flower is small and relatively rare. So rare, this flower gets the nickname of a flower from heaven, because it is difficult to grow on earth. In fact, he said, this flower only blooms once in a period of 3000 years,” explained Nathan. “I can be said to be lucky to find this flower, by accident.”
Alea blinked her eyes. “Then why did you bring Alea here?”
If you feel lucky to find Karun's treasure, shouldn't Nathan keep it to himself? Why call Ale? The purpose for what?
As for Nathan who will certainly be asked that, it looks still maintain a smile on the lips. It has its own reasons for wanting to bring Alea here, seeing Udumbara flower.
“Because I want to split luck with my ribs.”
