FLASHBACKS

"Haris is also getting married...." Haris made the announcement at the family dinner after Surya and Airin's wedding reception.

The guy who rarely talks is the center of attention of one dining table, especially Fany who is Mama Haris.

"Emm Ris, you don't joke around" Fany said seriously. Because as Fany recalled, the only child of this puppet does not have a girlfriend or close female friends.

Haris gave a small smile as he took out a ring box from the pocket of his batik shirt. "Not kidding Mah, seriously," said Haris while showing off a beautiful ring with a tiny diamond.

"So, who's the candidate?" ask Hani curious.

Haris then approached a girl who was enjoying a plate of bridal sponge, the girl was eating a cherry with lips slightly splattered with cream.

"Jasmine...."

Jasmin dyed, Haris who was wearing a former reception suit now approached him and gave a ring to him with a sweet smile, making Jasmin prepare to mock because of his misbehavior.

"What the hell," Jasmin said in a soft whisper.

All the old men looked seriously and curious.

"Min, will you marry me?"

Jasmin looked back and forth, then his gaze fell on Surya and Airin who were sitting some distance away from him and his family. Surya looked so fond of Airin and flattered the girl with a friendly look of affection and love, making Jasmin who was struck by great jealousy was immediately received a ring from Haris and nodded her head.

"Yes, I want to!"

***

A rather overcast Friday afternoon, Haris was sleepy listening to the Friday sermon at the grand mosque close to his mebeulnya shop. The mosque looked crowded this Friday afternoon, unlike the usual ones that were quiet with worshippers.

While holding back sleepiness, Haris also slightly absorbed the contents of the sermon that afternoon delivered by a young ustadz who Haris knew since High School. He is a handsome Ustadz Umin Muslimin like Oppa in Korean drama, Ustad Umin is the older brother of Haris class in High School, so it is natural that Haris knows and sometimes they also chat if there is free time from each job.

"The good step before Friday prayers is to say goodbye to the wife, kiss her forehead, kiss her hands. It is the same reward as going to the holy land" said Ustad gently and proudly.

"Especially when the sunnah of the apostle on Friday night when the married fathers give affection to his wife. 70,000 angels came down to earth to pray for their father and partner."

Haris cut his lips, last Friday night he actually split the bed with Jasmin, let alone kiss the forehead when about to Friday, this morning they did not greet each other.

Haris decided to stop thinking about Jasmin at this time, he wanted to focus on his life, make furniture, find ideas again, so gamers, relaxed and mabar with his friends. However, can Haris behave like that again when there is a bond between him and Jasmin? He is a husband now, and Haris feels burdened with this new title. The messy marriage they had done from the start was indeed wrong.

While daydreaming in the mosque, Haris gets a soft pat on his sturdy shoulder. It turned out that the person who patted his shoulder was Umin's ustad, ustad smiled faintly and sat down at Haris' side.

"Tumben, he said to vent," said Umin directly.

Haris smiled slightly as she rubbed her face rough. "Hehe. Tumben," replied Haris slowly, still a little embarrassed to vent, but want to whom else Haris confided if not on Umin ustad.

"There's a problem, Ris? I noticed you daydreaming from earlier."

"Hmm.. No, I'd like to ask you, Tad."

"Ask what?"

"Ituloh... regarding marriage.. What is the law, if married couples do not love each other?"

Umin looked a small smile. “Hmm... You know not Ris.. getting older, every couple needs love."

Haris rounded his two narrowed eyes... Haris is not old.

Umin chuckled slightly looking at Haris innocent expression. "There must be some affection, Ris. Although not love. Is there a problem, Ris? Suddenly asked that?"

Haris snorts small. “Honey? I guess not also deh.. how would love, if every day ya fight, noisily, we are also too childish. Ustad Umin also know dong, how do I same Jasmin."

"Try Ris think again, do not just draw conclusions. Try asking for more guidance, praying again for reassurance and being answered. Remember Ris, the matter of that feeling goes beyond the mysteries of the vast ocean. Maybe without realizing you are the same your wife needs each other. Love or love can not always be shown directly, not like you eat chilli that directly feel the pain. Aren't you?"

Haris was silent, he still thought hard until now with a blank expression like a daydreaming person. He wants to go back to how he used to be, Haris doesn't want to have any feelings for Jasmin like he is feeling right now.
