Stella agreed to Azam's remarks, she agreed to be guided by umi to pray repentance before the agreement.
Azam took Stella to the boarding house that day.
Abi and Umi already know the schedule of their son's return, picked up by the family driver, Azam and also Stella do not need to wait or find a taxi.
“Mari, Azam” mas said Yanto, the driver of the Wijaya family, he opened the door for Azam.
“Mas Yanto is always like this. Thanks ya” Gumam Azam followed by Stella.
Honestly, Yanto felt uncomfortable with the appearance of Stella who only used a tight robe and a hijab that was not closed perfectly.
Repeatedly Yanto stared at Stella from the rearview mirror of the car, confused while asking in his heart, who is the woman?
“For your view, mas Yanto” Sahut Azam when you find Yanto continues to glance towards Stella. Yanto immediately shifted his gaze, “Sorry, mas” Gumam Yanto.
“Stella, trim your true hijab” Azam said again, this time to Stella and immediately the woman tidied up her hijab to cover her beautifully severed hair.
The car entered a beautiful suburb, entering the area that according to Stella was housing when, in fact, it had entered the boarding school friend Lailatul Qadar.
All eyes were staring at Azam, ah it was impossible to stare at Stella strangely. Just bewildered by their Gus Azam who came with a woman who did not look well at all.
The man even carried Stella's bag.
“Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, abi, umi” Sapa Azam when entering a special room.
“Wa’alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh” Reply abi Daud and umi Fatimah bebarengan.
Azam approached his parents and kissed the back of his right hand both, of course with pleasure umi and abi welcomed Azam. But, their smiles instantly disappeared when they saw Stella behind Azam. Abi Daud was still calm, while umi Fatimah had revealed her confused look.
“Sit first” Mumbles Azam, invite Stella to sit down.
“What's up, mas? Who is this woman?” Ask umi Fatimah.
“Calon wife, Azam” Answer Azam.
Deg
Umi Fatimah widened her eyes, “Is it true? Why do you suddenly want to get married, Mom? What happened there?” incident Ask umi.
Azam smile, “Iya, umi. There is a story behind Azam invites Stella to come to”
Stella was silent, she did not dare to speak much. He knows that he will be taken to the boarding house, he thinks he will only be taken to Azam's house.
“She is Stella, someone Azam met out of town there. He found an incident like a rebuttal, when Azam and Zaidan happened to be passing by. He was with his parents, whose parents had been hurt by them.
While taking them including Stella to the hospital, her father and mother both experienced death, at that time her father somehow because of what gave Stella to Azam. So, Stella's arrival here was to fulfill her parents' mandate” Sahut Azam explained.
Abi Daud nods his head, “Then?” Legally.
“What about abi and umi? Azam is looking for ridho and blessing from abi and umi” Azam said.
“Abi agrees, as long as you can maintain the mandate and also take care of your wife including yourself and your family later, abi meridhoi yam” said abi Daud.
While Umi Fatimah looks still confused, between accept and not accept.
“But, Azam will be married to Khalisa, abi” said umi Fatimah finally, floating her misgivings.
“It is not good to impose his will, umi. Azam has made a decision, which means he has thought carefully about Khalisa. Azam is an adult, he knows which is best for himself” said Abi Daud, giving an understanding of the panic of his wife.
Umi Fatimah was silent for a moment, thinking about her husband's words.
“Alright, umi blessui and meridhoi you”.
Azam smiled, he knew for sure abi and uminya would not protest much. They really appreciate Azam and the decision he made. They were still the same, believing with their son, that whatever Azam did, must have a solid foundation and reason in His ways and his Shari'ah.
“Tomorrow, ready?” Ask abi David.
“Siap. But, tonight also Azam asked for help to umi to guide Stella prayer repent” Sahut Azam.
“Nak, are you ready to accompany Azam in his likes and sorrows?” Ask umi Fatimah.
Stella just smiled and nodded, “I'll work on it” he said.
Umi Fatimah was a little surprised by the answer that Stella gave, in no way reflecting the women of Sholehah. His way of speaking seemed relaxed and not so appreciative, looking at the woman bravely.
“Turn her before legitimately becoming Azam's wife, umi. Don't look at him that way, he and we are human beings who never escape with error” said abi Daud.
That day, Azam had a conversation with his brother while umi Fatimah was busy teaching Stella as her son had asked.
“Stella couldn't teach, aunt” Stella said, she was ashamed even really embarrassed to have to admit it in front of the middle-aged woman.
“It's okay, we learn slowly. Azam will also teach you patiently and painstakingly later” said umi Fatimah.
Stella was silent, from earlier she only heard the praise that flowed from the figure of the man who was going to marry her, as there was absolutely no reproach in her opinion.
“It's just two rakaats, son. Surrender to Allah SWT, as the most perfect substance, the creator of the universe. Please forgive us for anything we have done before” Sahut umi Fatimah.
“You ever prayed, right?” Ask again.
Stella nodded, she also still remembers the prayer movements even though she last did it while sitting on the High School bench a few years ago.
“Do you know the readings?” Ask umi Fatimah.
This time Stella shook her head, she had completely forgotten about it. He had left too much of his duty as a Muslim.
“It's okay, we learned today. Allah SWT will help you if you intend to return to Him. Trust”
Umi Fatimah patiently and painstakingly taught the procedure of mandatory prayer and also sunnah as the only basis for prayer repentance that Stella will do later.
“The purpose of this repentance prayer is sunnah prayer which aims to ask forgiveness to Allah SWT for all sins and mistakes we have done so far.
While the reward obtained from this prayer of repentance is so much, Allah SWT is all-good and generous, he will forgive our sins, he will also lift our degrees and facilitate all the affairs that we do” said umi Fatimah, revealing the meaning of purpose and wisdom that Stella can after doing so.
It was intended for Stella to carry it out with all her heart and sincerely live it.
“How is the ordinance, aunt?” Ask Stella.
“Call umi, soon you will be my son as well” Umi Fatimah said before answering the question of her future daughter-in-law.
“First, we say the intention first, Usholli sunnatat taubati rok’i lillahi ta’ala. That means, I intend to pray sunnah repentance two rakaat because Allah ta’ala.
Furthermore takbiratul ihram, Allahu Akbar and so on like prayers in general. The only difference is their intent.
And the last is prayer after prayer repentance, later umi will lead you”
Explanation that is easy to catch, making Stella immediately understand with every word that is given by umi Fatimah.
Finally, after praying together, Stella managed to do the prayer repent well, according to him.
“Astaghfirullahal’adziim laa ilaaha illaa huwal hayyul qayyumu wa atuubu ilaihi.
Allahumma anta rabbi laa ilaaha illaa anta, khalaqtani wa ana’alaa wa ana’alaa ‘ahdika wa’a mastatha’tu a’zuubika min syarri maa shona’tu, abu ulaka bini’matika ‘alayya, wa abuu ubidzanbii, faghfirlii fainnahu laa yaghfirudz dzunuuba
Umi Fatimah led Stella to speak slowly.
“If I may know, that's what artinta, umi?” Ask Stella.
“I ask Allah for forgiveness SWT, there is no God but Allah SWT who is all-living and one-sided and I repent to Him.
In the next verse, it explains that Allah SWT is my Lord, where there is nothing to worship but Allah SWT, he is the one who made us, His servants, His servants, and on His terms and promises that are bestowed upon us and we confess the sins that we have committed, therefore we ask forgiveness of Him, for there is no forgiving but from Allah SWT, we seek refuge in Him from the evil we have done before
Stella was crying, her heart was so calm and comfortable, feeling moved by the meaning of the letter delivered by Umi Fatimah.
