Married a Former Inmate
Marriage Siri

***

Tomorrow morning. Aris went around. Ask the surrounding residents, maybe someone knows the house pak penghulu. Because Aris think, Dinda's marriage can not be categorized officially in the country. So since she lives in a city of people, she prefers to get married religiously first. Alias nikah siri's. And later after Dinda wants to be invited home, maybe Aris will take care of letters and other necessities.

"Ngapunten, sorry excuse me sir. I want to ask, you know where the house is?" aris asked one of the people.

"KUA ruler or who used to marry people (pak kyai)?" ask a citizen.

"Em, I'm not a citizen here sir. Maybe that can marry us religiously first" replied Aris rather hesitantly. Married in series is not a common marriage. Still taboo, the effect is like playing with marriage. It looks like it's not real. But Aris has no other choice, but Dindanya already wants. Afraid that later, Dinda would change her mind.

"What a coincidence. This house next door, he's the imam of the mosque.

Sometimes people get married religiously, too" he explained.

Aris immediately breathed a sigh of relief. 'Alhamdulillah, ' his mind is happy. Everything was getting easier for him. All because God has set the way

"Matursuwun, thank you sir," said Aris while shaking the hand of a citizen.

Aris immediately visited the imam's house. And. The person sought there is.

"Please enter. Please! What is there need?" ask the imam of the mosque.

"This Sir. I want to ask the father to marry me and my future wife, but religiously, sir" said Aris slowly in shame.

"Look at Nak. Getting married under that hand also requires certain conditions. And your goal, your goal is clear. I mean, the family of your future wife agrees. Not because of coercion" explained the imam of the mosque.

Actually Aris is forcing Dinda not really? But Dinda herself agreed. So this isn't coercion, is it?

"Thank God, God willing, all of you have agreed" replied Aris in the end. He is sure, Mr. Bambang and Jo agree with this marriage. Because in 2 or 3 weeks they think their child will be born. So Aris wants to quickly justify their relationship. Fear if later, everything does not go as he wishes.

"If you may know, the wife-to-be is still single or widowed?"

"Widow sir" replied Aris.

"Have you been through Iddah?" ask the imam of the mosque again. Despite siri marriage, all there has to be rules. You can't just marry people. Fear if wrong, pengulu sir will also be sinned.

"Already Sir. It's just that she's pregnant again, but she's carrying my child" Aris said. Let everything be clearer.

"Good Son. I can marry you. But father's advice, after you're legitimate. No body contact first. Until the child your wife conceived was born" the imam told me.

"Why sir?" asked Aris curiously. His religious knowledge has not yet arrived. So he doesn't understand this.

"Your wife is pregnant again. If possible, do not have any body contact first. Follow your advice again. Let's be more afdol, after your wife gave birth you married again. Let everything be religious. If you want to be valid in a state can also, let's find a deed for your child more easily," suggested the imam of the mosque and understood by Aris.

Well, even though his intention is to get married so that it can be delicious. To kiss freely. But the road must be this way, so inevitably Aris still has to go through it.

"Thank you very much for your advice, sir. Then I ask for help. This afternoon after 'ashar, marry us yes sir," pinta Aris solemnly.

"God willing. I was waiting at the Nurul Huda mosque. Don't forget, marriage trustee and 2 witnesses."

"Yes Sir. I'm ready."

Aris immediately drove his motorbike to the boarding place Dinda. It was their wedding so sudden. But this is Aris' will. So whatever it is he's gonna do.

"Assalamualaikum, baby!" call Aris while knocking on Dinda's boarding door.

"Wa'alaikumussalam" said Dinda as she opened the door.

"Alhamdulillah, all our affairs are good. Only you call dad, I want to nyariin kebaya for you as much as 2 people for our marriage witness," explained Aris.

Hearing that, Dinda deg-degan. This time he was happy but scared. Did he really marry the man who raped him?

"Yes, I go first. You take good care of yourself. Soon I will return" said Aris, saying goodbye.

Pak Penghulu is in sight. The two human beings were sitting restlessly waiting for the arrival of Mr. Bambang. Mr. Bambang should have come 5 minutes ago.

Dinda who now wears white Muslim clothes complete with hijab. Aris chose that. Although only siri marriage. At least it's a sacred event. Therefore, Aris will always do his best for his future wife.

Aris thinks her soul mate is Nesa. Apparently humans lost the destiny and plan that God gave.

About 15 minutes of waiting. No sign of meaning here. Lucky, sir, his predecessor was so patient. Understandably, there was no event he had to attend other than marrying Aris and Dinda. His name is also human, surely his mind thinks of negative things when he sees Dinda who is pregnant. Young and Aris looks more mature. Two witnesses he hired must have suspected that they were a married couple due to an accident. Accidents in another sense. Not a car or motorcycle accident in general. But marriage due to pregnancy first.

Long awaited, finally Mr. Bambang came alone. After work earlier, he just glided to Sidoarjo. A long enough distance to travel. Almost 50 minutes on a motorcycle.

Now Mr. Bambang must sit in front of pak penghulu. With Aris and Dinda sitting on his right and left side.

This wedding was deliberately held in a closed manner. There were only 6 people in Nurul Huda's musholla. Namely Aris (prospective husband), Dinda (prospective wife), Bambang (women's marriage guardian), 2 witnesses and kabul ijab.

After the verses of the Qur'an are proclaimed as the opening. Now, the gentleman shook Aris' hand.

The nervousness struck when the pak penghulu asked for an answer from Aris. This is the first time he's married. Surely so nervous and made his heart flutter.

"I accepted his marriage and marriage, Dinda Fahira binti Bambang Junaidi with a set of prayer tools paid in cash."

With one attraction, the kabul ijab goes well.

"How's witness?"

"Well." Right."

"Alhamdulillah."

Until the event closes with prayer. A happy and relieved hue was clearly visible on Aris' face. From the words of Sah earlier, he could not stop smiling.

Especially when Dinda flickers her hand and even kisses her. His heart is so pounding. There is sadness there too. Her mother and sister could not see her wedding.

After Dinda kissed his hand. Now Aris broke the kiss on the top of Dinda's head. Although it is blocked by a hijab. Aris continued to recite his prayers and holy promises.

That afternoon, these two human beings were legally declared husband and wife.

"Congratulations, son," said Bambang to Dinda and Aris.

"Thank you, sir" replied Aris with some embarrassment.

"Dad asked, never hurt Dinda. Because until whenever the father is not sincere father's son is made to suffer," said Mr. Bambang to Aris.

"Yes Well." Aris meant. With all her strength she will make Dinda happy.

"Then you go straight home to Dad. Because I've heard, you can't do that until there is more ijab," said Bambang and Aris sir.

If forced alone, it could be that Aris can not resist his lust. Same with Dinda. Older pregnancy makes the sexual hormones increase.

"Dad love Dinda. Good luck, son," said Mr. Bambang while hugging Dinda.

"Aamiin," Dinda replied as she closed her eyes.
