When We Are Stupid

When We Are Stupid
Advice for Aira


Bismilbornohmanirohim.


Morning time. In the dining room of the Arga family home.


"Aira later grandma, grandpa, opa and oma will also come here to discuss your matchmaking problem." 


"Yes abi." Aira joined the dining table.


This morning they all enjoyed a meal cooked by Aqila the wife of Arga.


"We'll eat first." Arga said then as he saw that they were all already in the dining room.


Afka who was sitting next to her twin seemed to feel what Aira was feeling. They all ate in peace.


After eating Aira helps Aqila clean the dining table, while Arga has gone to work as well as Afka. For Azzar he also had to go to college, Azzar still included new students at one of Bandung universities. They had already said goodbye to Aqila and Aira. Afka would also usually help his grandfather to teach the santri.


"Aira's done doing the dishes and wants to talk to you." Said Aqila, since her work was done she passed away leaving Aira for the living room. 


Aira whose dishwasher was almost done turned her head briefly at Umi Aqila. "Yes umi." Aira Sahut.


In the living room.


Aira was seen sitting next to Aqila. "Aira Umi wants to ask you, but you have to answer honestly." Aqila said seriously.


"Yes umi." 


"Do you really agree with this match?" last night Azzar asked about the matchmaking now the Umi.


Aira nodded slowly. "Aira has decided umi. God willing Aira is ready." 


"Alright umi hope you are sincere with all this, but if you want to cancel this matchmaking there is still time to let umi talk to your brother and grandfather and grandmother." 


"God willing, Aira is ready." Aqila smiled getting an answer from Aira.


The sound of the car makes the two women of different ages stand up reflex. "Maybe grandma and grandpa umi are also opa, oma." Aira said, the two of them laughed together.


"Let's welcome them." take Aqila. 


"Assalamualaik." 


"Wa'alaikumsalam." Aqila and Aira welcomed their guests. Both of them shove the backs of the hands of four different people of different ages and types.


"Abi, umi, papa and mama let's go in first."


Arriving in the living room Aira helped Aqila prepare drinks and also some snacks for their guests.    


A few minutes later Aira and Aqila had already gathered in the living room with both grandmother and second kekek Aira.


"When did you graduate?" tanya Jaya opa Aira, the father of her birth mother.


"Two weeks from Insyaallah"


The atmosphere in the living room was back in silence after a brief conversation of Aira and her opa.


"Their wedding one week after your graduation is about to take place" all eyes are now on Aira.


"That's how fast" Aira's inner.


Aira took a breath, just now she had received all of this with a chest of air, but Aira did not expect that her marriage to a person she had never met at all would be this fast.


"Aira sipa anytime cake" replied Aira steady.


"Alhamdulillah" 


Everyone breathed a sigh of relief to see Aira approve her grandfather's words.


Lina doesn't show the marriage story of her son and granddaughter almost the same, for arranged marriages, but Lina feels this is all for the good of her only granddaughter.


Aqila could feel if in fact Aira was still heavy with all of this, Aqila stroked Aira's back gently. Aira is like her own daughter.


"Aira grandma wants to talk can" said Umi Rika.


 "Oma also wants to chat with Aira" said Lina.


"Then let us invite Aira ketaman umi, mama" Aqila proposal approved Jaya and Abi Misbah grandfather from Aira.


They both knew Aira needed time for all this.


In garden.


"Aira Umi hope you can live the household well later"


"Amin" said the three women who were on the side of Umi Rika.


"Aira oma told you" Aira turned to Lina. "In married life there should be no 'most' but should be able to 'mutual' and never decide to turn away. You know what Ima meant" Lian looked gently at her grown-up grandson. He knows. That this granddaughter of his is a smart girl.


Every time I saw Aira, Lian always remembered that the late daughter of the only accident a few years ago had a bad impact on those left behind.


"Yes ora Aira understood" they all smiled back at Aira.


Now it's Umi Rika's turn to speak again. "Maira" 


"Yes grandma" Umi Rika smiled.


"The key to the harmony of a household is surrender to God. The closer (husband and wife) to God, the more harmonious and happy the household will be. But if they are far from Allah, their household is far from harmonious and happy" 


"Thank you oma, grandma and umi for everything" the nevy-clad girl hugged the three precious women in her life in turn.


"Don't forget to ask for the blessing of mama and papa ya Ai, they must be happy there to see their daughter will soon be married" said Aqila when Aira hugged her. Aira's sobs made Aqila hug her daughter even more tightly.


"Don't cry anymore Ai, later we will join the pilgrimage there" added Aqila again, Aira nodded in Aqila's arms.


Lina was so grateful that Aqila who was the sister-in-law of the late Nadira loved Aira and Afka as she loved Azzar swivel them alone, even Arga and Aqila never distinguished the three.
