The Path of Love Halimah
Episode 8's. My marriage

“Baarakallahu laka wa baarakaa alaika wa jamaa bainakumaa fii khoir... May Allah bless you both in joy and sorrow and always gather you both in good.. Aamiin" Kyai Rifa'i said, Praying for my marriage to Brother Hafiz.

"Amiin" answered the guests who heard Kyai Rifa'i prayer, including my parents.

Throughout the contract I continued to cry sobbing unable to withstand the pain in my heart.

Still can't believe it's like today has come when I've changed my status to that of a wife of a man I don't know at all.

Our brief meeting was only once when Abang Hafiz came with his parents to have dinner at home.

Even we also just spoke once, It was only by telephone and very short.

But now the fact that I have to accept is the fact that He has now legally become the husband that I have to obey all my life.

"Astagfirullah." I whispered again.

The wedding ceremony that continues with a little small party goes well.

I cried again and again when my schoolmates came to congratulate me and Brother Hafiz.

I cried again when the assembly of teachers, my High School staff and the principal were also present at my wedding.

" May your marriage be honored by ALLAH SWT.. And hopefully Halimah can be a sholeha wife for the husband yes. "said Walikelasku pray.

"Still Buk. "I hugged him tightly with tears of pain.

Buried with my new status as a wife who has great responsibility towards her husband and family.

"Astsgfirullah" I repeatedly tried to calm my heart and tried to smile a little at the guests.

Mom and Dad hugged me and gave me a lot of encouragement so I could be a sholeha wife to my current husband.

Being a wife who takes care of husband and family.

Being a wife who obeys the orders of the husband.

It becomes the most comfortable place for him when he feels hurt.

"The most important thing is that you have to work with the field of heart to accept all the shortcomings of your husband. God willing, if you are sincere and patient, then the love between you will grow by itself with the permission of ALLAH SWT.. Be a good wife to your husband.. Take care of Mom and Dad's good name.. Love your new family.. Be the best wife and the best mother for your children. Mother and Father's blessing will always be a prayer for the happiness of your marriage" said Mother again advising me with her tears.

"God willing Buk" I answered crying in his arms.

"Trust me, I only want the best for you Halimah.. God willing Hafiz is a good man and will be the best husband for you.. Mom and Dad love you so much" he kissed me repeatedly.

I just nodded and kept crying.

"Am I capable of being a good wife, O ALLAH?? Guide Me, O ALLAH.. Now I've truly become a wife to my husband.. Let me live your destiny, O ALLAH... Grow love in my heart and my husband's heart, GOD.. Make this marriage a field of reward for me.. Let my ideals be buried far away.. Make happiness in marriage my new goal.. Help Me O GOD" my prayer continues in my heart.

"Bismillah." I said again beginning my new status.
