Patience in Wounds (Stupidity)

°°°

The wedding will be held in a simple manner at the family residence of the bride. The relatives had gathered to help prepare for the event that took place tomorrow and they also congratulated Abi and Umi. They were also happy that their brother's daughter was married to a rich man from the city. Such is the gossip from the neighbors.

Umi and Abi never told anyone about her daughter's future husband. Rara never told her friends, yes they were shocked when they heard her friend was getting married when they just graduated. Rara is a smart student, she also got an S1 scholarship from her school. Her friends and teachers deeply regretted the young marriage decision Rara had taken just because of the rich man from the city.

Usut had a mouthwash, the rumor was circulating because neighbors often saw Tio's grandfather's car when visiting. They origin guess and spread widely without asking the reality. Umi and Abi do not think about it, for them slander is a means to reduce our sins. There is a much more important thing that his daughter will begin to struggle through the ark of marriage.

Rara's older sister just came home last night and was told everything. He cried as a brother, he even let his sister into a marriage that is not clear direction.

"Sir, stop crying and then look beautiful." Goda Rara's.

Instead of stopping crying her brother was even more sobbing in her arms.

"Why do you want to take the Deck?"

"She is the soul mate God sent, Rara can't resist."

During these three months Rara really solidified her heart, so that she could be as strong as now.

"You're too young to live such a married life. Ma'am alone probably won't be strong Deck."

"That's why God gave the man to me Ma'am, because God knows Luna won't be strong."

Rara slightly chuckled to melt the atmosphere. Her sister had been home until this morning still crying.

"You're that..." Luna pinched her little sister's cheek, yes to her Rara had always been her little sister.

Luna still did not expect that her sister could think very wisely, just as Umi and Abi were shocked at that time.

"Don't cry anymore, your sister wants to get married not to go to war," said Rara while taking a tissue on the dresser and wiping her brother's tears.

Rara realized that what she was going to face might be much heavier than the battlefield that was killing each other blatantly. Luna knew very well how to have a marriage like that, because she studied psychology. He studied and did a lot of research on husband and wife relationships, where inner war would be more torturous than killing.

"Can't you just cancel this match. You can find a husband who loves you and you love."

"But I can't lift my degree in front of Allah Ma'am. Tests and trials are the means by which a servant raises his degree. Ma'am rest easy, pray for me that Allah will give your brother infinite patience."

Abi who heard the conversation of her two daughters behind the door unconsciously shed tears. Tomorrow is the day he marries the youngest to a man Abi himself has never seen.

During this time Tio's grandfather came alone, his grandson who would be married never came to just get to know each other.

Abi's heart is getting painful, which father is not sad if he knows his son will live a marriage life that is not easy. What kind of man did Abdullah's late grandfather match up to his own grandson, although Tio's grandfather was very kind did not guarantee his descendants would be good either. Abi can only pray for her daughter from afar, because after marriage Rara will follow her husband.

,,,

The expected day arrived. Today Rara will be hosted by a man named Revan, only that name that he knows, what kind of face or nature Rara does not know at all. Even if berta'aruf only we can know and know the characteristics of our prospective partner, but this is Rara just just know he said. Tio's grandfather who has told everything, Rara also does not know what her future husband knows what the face of his future wife.

"You're so pretty, Dek." Luna was just about to call her sister and tell her that her future husband's family had arrived.

"Thank you Ma'am" replied Rara who saw her brother enter from the large mirror in front of her.

"Your future husband's family has arrived" said Luna.

Rara knew very well what her sister felt, until this morning Luna was still trying to persuade her sister to cancel this marriage.

"Yes and he's good-looking too." There was no happiness on Luna's face when she said that. He had seen for himself earlier how the attitude of his sister-in-law, as a prospective psychologist Luna could read the look on her face.

Looking cold and somewhat stiff man who will marry his sister, the compulsion in undergoing marriage with the younger brother is very demonstrated.

"Mr..." Rara touched the hand of the older sister who was on her shoulder.

"What's wrong?" tanyanya who saw the brother daydreaming.

"It's okay Deck." Soon Luna normalized her facial features.

Last night Rara managed to make her brother promise to support whatever his decision. But on condition, Rara must always tell him later if she encounters any problems.

"Let's go ahead?"

Rara uses a white kebaya that makes her look more beautiful, not a wedding dress that dangles like most people today. Just a simple kebaya but still make Rara more beautiful wearing it.

Luna helped her sister walk towards the place to be executed.

Neighbors and relatives were sitting around the head and a man. Rara looked at her back from a distance, from behind it was visible if her future husband was tall and strapping. With a white coat matching the kebaya that Rara wears.

"Bak will always pray for you Deck." Whisper Luna as they reach the dead table.

Rara sat next to her future husband, he looked down not having the courage to just look. The man was the same, the gaze of his eyes went nowhere when the prospective wife was already beside him, they were both reluctant to turn their heads.

"We can start now, pak Penghulu." Grandpa Tio was very enthusiastic.

Penghulu also began to give a little encouragement and advice to the couple, Rara listened carefully and nodded her head occasionally.

"All right let's start, afraid they're impatient," said the pak penghulu a little joking maybe the goal is to reduce the nervousness of the bride and groom.

As the guardian of Rara, it turns out that Abi himself will marry his daughter. Abi and his future son-in-law have shaken each other just to say ijab qobul.

"I marry and I marry you brother/Ananda Revano Hermawan bin Roni Hermawan with my son named Mahira Nareswari with a cash offer of five million rupiah and a set of prayer tools, Cash.”

"I accept his marriage and the marriage of Mahira Nareswari bint Abdul Aziz to his bride, cash.”

"Well..."

The voices of witnesses and guests were unpretentious, along with the dripping cries of Abi. With his own hand Abi handed his beloved daughter over to a man who is now his son-in-law. With prayer and hope that their households are bestowed with the gift of God and kept away from things that are not desirable.

to be continue....
