The Tears Of Wedding
Chapter 27 Importance of Science

I was changing the bed linen in the room, suddenly the Thunder mas entered the room. He whispered to me.

“Dik, mas confused.” He said as he pulled my hand while sitting by my side.

I saw her who looked confused.

“Mommy asked me to cut chicken. He said he had not returned from the house of a neighbor who died.” Obviously fast thunder mas.

Father indeed from last night quickly went to the house of a neighbor who was rumored to have died. It is customary in our place, the neighbors will make a tent and prepare the needs for tomorrow's funeral, I have made sure the father after the prayer shubuh will go directly to the funeral home again, while Guntur mas is a habit of difficult to wake up in the morning, only because that makes him have to take a big shower that can make him wake up early. And this morning, Imas who from yesterday did not wash, so early in the morning he was already in the bathroom. So that my husband who I asked to take a bath, still sheltered under the blanket. It was 15 minutes before dawn, he just got out of bed..

“So it's been said, hunting bath. That's Imas if already in the bathroom already like a bride again temon.” event My joke.

“Well on how, mom seems to be in a hurry. We also have to leave early in the morning for Kali Bening.” Her speech.

“Ya slaughtered anyway mas,” My word.

“Bby? Halal eaten later the chicken? Kan mas is still in a state of great hadats.” Said worried.

I pulled the rolling rope I just replaced with an orange one with a flower motif.

“Bby, and legit. But, when reading basmalah it is intended to recite not the intention of reading the Quran.” My speech.

“Mas have never met anything like this.” Say again.

“This was discussed by Gus Furqon in the book Al-Majmu Syarh Al-Muhadzdzab. Later let's not ingetin Imas for a while in the bathroom.” My speech.

I took a shower before Imas, then when I finished the bath. I woke up Thunder mas. Mother will probably rewang, worried until the afternoon, then mother will start our village chicken so that later in the afternoon no longer need to be confused for side dishes. Because I must have come home late in the afternoon. Imas also definitely went home for the daytime course.

I don't know if it's because of my sharp nose, but Guntur always likes to squeeze my nose when he's anxious with me.

“God if you have a smart wife.” Her speech.

The thunder came straight to the kitchen. I'm still making the bed. For some reason, every time Guntur mas praise my cleverness or my morality, I always remember the bawuh Umi Siti.

“Searching knowledge becomes an obligation if you want your child to become a sholeh and sholehah person. The woman if asked to choose, then the most important knowledge learned is the science of fiqh concerned in daily worship.”

‘May my knowledge, a useful science for me and the people around me.’ My mind while pulling the last corner of the mattress I had replaced with a new bed sheet.

I rushed to the kitchen to remind Imas, because pity Guntur mas if it comes to prayer at the end of time, if at home he usually prayed five times in the mosque because he was superstitious in the mosque which is only 200 meters from our house.

“Dik, ndak suwi-suwi. I want to hurry this morning. ” Say me from behind the outside bathroom door.

Only deheman I got from the sound of Imas, it seems he was brushing his teeth. I see from the direction of the kitchen door new Thunder will take a chicken that is still moving.

“Iya dear, mas know.want mas moved in here, later nyemplung trench. Difficult cleaning. " said Guntur.

Ah I almost forgot if he was a santri kang. Of course, he knows how to cut a lyam or animal that is good and right. Sometimes my female instincts are so dominant, always pretentious in everything. This is what sometimes likes obscenity, feeling smarter than the husband so as to impose our opinion on the husband. This is not allowed.

I was worried that my husband would execute the chicken without waiting for him to move. Things that sometimes make in the meat or in the thighs there is still blood when cooked, because the blood does not come out completely when finished in the slaughter. Directly cleaned. Trivial, but for me as a wife is also a mother-to-be. Food is something that must be halal for my family members to consume. Including Chicken, even Kyai Rohim's caution I've heard from Umi Siti, if there is a celebration, Kyai Rohim will not eat chicken if not his host or kang santrinya who cut. He was worried about being slaughtered in an unrighteous way.

While waiting for warm water to clean the chicken, I made coffee Thunder mas, the weather was quite cold. I'm still not out of the bathroom.

"So remember why you like to buy live chicken instead of cut chicken, hehehe.... " Say Guntur mas while enjoying black coffee.

Yes, I experienced it when in the village of Guntur mas, there is a supplier of cut chicken. When I want to buy one chicken cut and immediately cleaned. I gawked in disbelief, the owner of the cage was not careful in slaughtering. For me it is fatal because it is the same as me and my husband will eat carrion. Eat carrion, and his mouth is unclean, for he eats unclean. If you pray, the mouth of the former meal is the same as carrying feces. While the legal requirement of prayer is free from unclean. I did not buy when the chicken coop owner cut the chicken buyer first than me on the top of the junkyard. It is the same as cutting the chicken's tongue.

"Ndak's just in Joni's cage. In the place of the celebration there is also sometimes a ndak carefully loh Mas cut it." I complained while enjoying the warm tea.

In the place of worship sometimes there are also those who cut under the jakun, but do not break the breath. Or in most places cutting chickens cut people in the market cut chickens just by lifting the chicken neck, then cut a little. Sometimes on top of the jakun, sometimes under the jakun and only a slight wound. Moreover, there are those whose knives are not sharp.

Gus Furqon once peeled this in the book of Fathul Mu'in, where the condition of cutting the knife should not be removed before the airway and the dining channel broke both. Even Sunnah according to Imam Shafi'i school is cutting the left right vein in the neck and the sign will come out a lot of blood. So that it dies quickly, do not torture the chicken that is cut.

"That means in the hut you learned to chop chicken, Nduk? " Task mom while lifting the fried banana. I was so spoiled by Mom. I know I'll be home in a few days. Then mom won't let me 'grand-dirty' she said.

"Umi Siti even often examines the chicken cooked while there is still blood in the meat, Mom. Alhamdulillah so the ndalem servant can directly practice." My speech.

"How to research it? I don't understand." Mother asked as she approached us carrying a fried banana.

"Sometimes the cooked chicken still has blood. That's usually the possibility of two causes, ma'am. It could be because cutting it is not legal or cutting it is legitimate. But not completely dead and the blood has not come out. Then put in hot water to pluck the feathers.If the blood in the chicken muscle is forgiven." Obviously me.

I saw the face of the Thunder mas staring at me with a look of admiration.guntur asked if I was often in the kitchen or was only in the guest laden section. I used to not slash through. Any part, sometimes because I could not bear to let Zhafirah himself who did not go home, made me stay in the ndalem during the cottage holiday.

"Aku and Zhafirah used to stop cleaning chickens when the santri men practice cutting chicken, mas. Just when there will be an event, we santri ndalem asked to see the chicken we were cleaning. It turns out true, of the many chickens that are slaughtered santri new men, there are those who if seen the slaughter is legitimate, under the jakun and cut off the path of breath and eating. But the former slaughter is not widened."

Yes, Umi Siti who heard the news if there was a chicken that ran away when it would be slaughtered and hit by a motorbike, and still slaughtered but he was late when he would choose the chicken, worried about the chicken being slaughtered when it's dead.

"It's possible that the chicken is dead and the neck is still cut." My memories.

"Science is very important in any field. From the science of tajwid, fikih, to tasawwuf." Guntur comments then he enjoyed one banana that looks still let out the heat.

"A drug without a foundation of knowledge, does not become worship. Including in building a home. Yes, just take a shower, son, let Imas later clean the fur. Shajuh soon." Mother said when she saw the flowers coming out of the bathroom complete with her hijab. Imas already wanted to protest but the eyes of the mother who swerved were not able to make her lips open so I could see my sister's lips pursed.

'Ah, mother is right. if I don't have the knowledge how to be married. Maybe I no longer survive on the side of Thunder. Mother must not feel proud of her neighbors and siblings for getting souvenirs from her iron, my inner being.
