Suffering Becomes Happiness
Chapter 07

"Well then we should rest, because it is late at night, and tomorrow we leave together to the office of KUA...!!"

Then they all broke up from the living room, and they all took a break.

Then to the next day they get ready to go to the KUA office.

But before they left for the KUA office, they had breakfast first. Because Ms. Sumiatun had prepared breakfast for all of them, before they left for the KUA office.

Then they had breakfast together in the middle of the house...

Then after they finished breakfast, Ibu Sumiatun and Icha immediately cleaned the dishes and glasses, their former breakfast together earlier.

Time has shown 09:00 in the morning.

Then they began to leave, and did not forget Sumiatun's mother locked the house, while Mr. Hartono took the car out of his garage. After that they all got in the car and they went to the KUA office.

Coincidentally the KUA office is not so far from Mr. Hartono's house, so they do not take long to get to the KUA's office.

A few minutes later, they reached the office.

And they went straight into the yard, and they got out of the car.

Then the three of them immediately entered the office and were greeted by the office security, then they were asked by the security guard, about their intentions and goals.

Then the security guard said....

"Good morning Mother, is there anything we can help you with.?"

Then Mr. Hartono replied....

"Good morning sir, sir, we came here intending to apply for marriage, for me and my future wife sir.!!"

Then the security guard asked Mr. Hartono again....

"Oh yes sir... but are all the requirements letters complete sir.!?"

Then Mr. Hartono replied....

"Oh yes sir.this I have brought, all coincidences I have prepared from yesterday sir.!"

Then the security guard said....

"May I first check the completeness of the requirements sir.!"

Then Mr. Hartono handed over the map containing the letters

the requirements held by him, and presented to the security guard.

Then the security guard checked the completeness of the requirements letters carried by Mr. Hartono.

Then a moment later the security guard said....

"Fine sir, the letters are all complete, then please take the queue number first, then the next Mr. waiting in the waiting room, to wait for the call for registration..!"

Then Mr. Hartono said to the security guard....

"Oh yes thank you sir.!"

Then the security guard said....

"It's the same sir.!"

Then Mr. Hartono took the queue number, and then sat down in a chair with Icha and Ms. Sumiatun, and waited for the call for registration.

Incidentally at that time the queue was not too much, because Mr. Hartono was not too late to his office KUA, and the number of the queue of Mr. Hartono is number 5.

A few minutes later, the call came queue number 5, which is the queue number held by Mr. Hartono.

Then Mr. Hartono, Sumiatun and Icha, entered the registration room. Then the three were immediately invited in by the officer, who was in the room.

"Good morning sir...!" Said the officer to Mr. Harsono....!

Then Mr. Hartono replied....

"Good morning....!!"

Then the officer asked....

"There's something we can help you with, sir....?"

Then Mr. Hartono expressed his purpose and purpose....

"This sir...!! We came here to register for marriage.!"

Then the officer asked....

"Oh yeah.. who wants to marry who sir.!"

Then Mr. Hartono replied....

"Oh yeah.. I happen to be alone sir with this Mother..!"

while Mr. Hartono pointed to Sumiatun's mother.

The officer asked again....

"What's your father's name.?"

Mr. Hartono replied....

"I'm Mr. Hartono sir, and this is my future wife Mother Sumiatun.!"

Then the officer asked again while pointing to Icha...

"Who is this, sir.?"

Mr. Hartono replied....

"Oh yes.This is the son of my future wife, her name is Ica sir.!"

Then the officer said....

"Oh yes can I see the data sir.?"

Then the officer asked Mr. Hartono....

"This is the marriage trustee and the witness is already there sir.?"

Mr. Hartono replied....

"If the guardian happens to be the parent of Sumiatun's mother has long died sir, while the brother does not have. So we beg the judge, sir from the KUA.!

If the witness has a sir from my relatives later.!". 'Can you sir...?".

The officer answered....

"Oh yes, you can't, sir.!!"

Then Mr. Hartono thrust a map containing the data in his hand to the officer.

Then the officer checked the completeness of the letters carried by Mr. Hartono.

After the letters were examined, read, and recorded, then the officer gave a marriage schedule letter to Mr. Hartono.

It just so happened that day was Monday.

The schedule given by the officers is next Monday. So there is a Jeddah 1 week registration time.

After everything was finished, then Mr. Hartono, Sumiatun's mother, and Icha immediately told the officer to go home.

Mr. Hartono said....

"Well sir, when we're done, we'll go home.!!"

Then the officer said....

"Oh yes sir be careful, and don't forget the next Monday father and mother come back here again yes.!!"

Then Mr. Hartono replied....

"Oh yes sir thank you sir.!!"

Then Mr. Hartono, Ms. Sumiatun, and Icha, came out of the room and went straight to the car, and soon they went home.

After a while, they reached home. Sumiatun mother prepares coffee, while Icha prepares a small meal, then placed on the table of the living room of the house.

Then they immediately gathered in the middle room of the house, to discuss the continuation of it, while drinking coffee and small meals on the table.

Then Mr. Hartono spoke to both of them....

"Mother...! Icha...! look, we are given a schedule of 1 week from the KUA to carry out the marriage contract.... So while we wait for that time, we have to plan ahead.!!"

Then Mother Sumiatun and Icha asked....

"So how about sir.?"

Mr. Hartono said....

"So we'll soon be one family...!"

Sumiatun and Icha's mother said...

"Keep....!!"

Mr. Hartono said....

"Yes we have to remodel and fix the family order that used to be dong...!!"

Then the mum said....

"Keep what we have to remodel sir.!"

Then Mr. Hartono said....

"And soon Mother has become my wife automatically Icha has become my son and we are already one family.

If in the past when Mom was still my maid, Mom would go home to Mom, and Icha with Mom, now that we are married we should gather together in this house.!!"

Then Sumiatun's mother asked....

"Then my house is there how sir, should we just leave it.

If we take care of the house it seems impossible...!! so how dong solution sir...?"

Then Mr. Hartono gave advice....

"Mh.... How about this, then,

Incidentally in this house there was no maid in the house, after Mother became my wife.and then on the catfish farm I also needed one worker, to take care of the farm....

Is there one family from Mother, or a close relative who can be invited to work here Mom...!!

And all of you occupy Mother's house. How's Mom...!?"

Then Sumiatun's mother was silent and thought for a moment, then answered Mr. Hartono's question....

"Oh yes, I have a sister who lives in the next village, and my brother gathers with his son and daughter-in-law in one house and happens to have no permanent job. what if they're the ones we told to work here, sir...!!"

Then Mr. Hartono said....

"Oh yes I agree..!! Then..how about tomorrow we go there to offer this to them. how do Mom and Icha agree with your opinion....!!"

Then Sumiatun and Icha replied....

"Yes sir we agree tomorrow we go there.!!"

Coincidentally the village where the sister of Ibu Sumiatun lived was in the village next door. About 10 minutes drive by car.

Then the next day Mr. Hartono, Ibu Sumiatun, and Icha left to go to the house of Ibu Sumiatun's brother, who was in the village next door, by car.

Arriving at the house, then they were greeted by Mother Sumiatun's brother. It just so happened that her brother and her husband were playing with his granddaughter outside the house.

Then Mr. Hartono said hello to them....

"Assynolod.!"

And then they answered....

"Goddessam.!!" "Eh there's a guest they say.?"

They live in a house with their children and their son-in-law with one grandchild.

Sumarni's mother looks happy because of the arrival of special guests, namely her sister Sumiatun and her uncle Icha.

Then Sumarni's mother said...

"Eh...There's a Auntie's bang....!! welcome to Icha.....

Then Icha approached the Tantenya while kissing her hands and hugging her.

Then followed by Sumiatun's mother. Understand they have not seen each other for a long time, so they both miss each other.

Then Sumiatun's mother introduced Mr. Hartono to them.

"Oh yes introduce this brother, this is Mr. Hartono my future husband, and this is my brother sir, his name is Sumarni, and that's her husband's name is Joko.

And they shook hands while introducing each other's names.

After some time there were two people out of the house, apparently it was the son of Sumarni's mother named Ratna, and her husband was named profit.

Then they shook hands with Mr. Hartono, Sumiatun's mother, and Icha. Then Ratna took over her son who had been carried by Sumarni's mother.

Then Ibu Sumarni and her husband Joko, invited Sumiatun, Mr. Hartono, and Icha to enter their house, allowing her to sit in the living room chair.

Sumarni's mother and her husband worked as farm laborers in her village, if anyone told her to manage the fields, then Sumarni's mother and her husband did the man's errand, and if no one told them to, so Mother Sumarni and her husband daily searched for grass for their cattle. So they don't have a regular job.

While his son-in-law was a civil servant in the district government, and they lived in one house in the village.

After everything gathered in the living room, not long after Ratna son of Sumarni Mother served coffee and small meals to all of them. and a moment later the daughter-in-law of Ms. Sumarni or the husband of Ratna, immediately say goodbye to go to work.

And a moment later Sumarni's mother immediately invited the guest to enjoy coffee and small food at the table. Ratna's son Sumarni's mother also gathered among them in the living room, holding her child.

After a while they chatted, then Mr. Hartono expressed the intention of his arrival to Mother Sumarni and her husband, and her son Ratna.

"Look, Mom and Dad, we mean to come here first to want to be in touch with the family of the Father and Mother, then the second we intend to offer Mother and Father to help us at home, to do some work things that are not right, even if the father and mother want if they do not want to also yes it is okay..!!"

Hearing the offer from Mr. Hartono earlier, then Mr. Joko's husband from Ms. Sumarni directly asked Mr. Hartono....

"So sir Hartono means, we are both offered to work at the house of Mr. Siru sir"

Then Mr. Hartono replied....

"Eee...not so sir, it is not my intention to hire father and mother, I know father and Mother are the family of the Sumiatun Mother my future wife, so automatically become my family too right,? so it is unethical if I hire a Father and a Mother in my house so I mean that,.eee!!!

So Ibu Sumiatun continued to connect the words of Mr. Hartono...

"So gini kak, I mean you invited my brother and mas Joko to help us do something wrong at home , coincidentally our house is a bit big so he needs the help of others, and besides at home dad had a catfish farm, it was nothing to take care of, too, so the meaning of the Father was rather than We have someone else take care of all that, it is better we invite brother and mas Joko to take care of all that, he said, and besides my house that used to be no longer inhabited, so we mean besides brother and mas Joko take care of the work at the house of Mr. Hartono, so we mean besides brother and mas Joko take care of the work at the house, so brother and mas Joko can stay in my old house, besides my brother and mas Joko take care of the work at the house of Mr. Hartono only during the day, so if the night will be able to occupy my house that was my brother.count-count my house rather than unused, it is better to occupy my brother just the same mas Joko. so there are those who take care and occupy. that's what we mean sis.!!"

Then Mr. Hartono added....

"But don't worry, sir, even the Father and Mother of our family, but we will pay you every week like we pay someone else..!!".

"How about ma'am.?"

Hearing the offer, Joko asked his wife....

"How's Mom..? I agree...!?"

"If I agree anyway sir once, anyway here we do not have a permanent job, and again we gather one house with children and son-in-law.if we agree to Mr. Hartono's offer earlier, and again we collect one house with the son and daughter-in-law, in addition we can earn income we can stay at the house of Mother's sister. besides the house is not occupied right dear rather than useless house is better and not just occupy sir.

So besides getting a job, we'll get a place to stay sir...!!"

Then Joko's husband from Sumarni's mother said....

"Oh yes already if you agree I also agree.!!"

Then Sumiatun's mother asked her brother (Sumarni)...

"How does brother agree with our offer..!!"

Icha who had been silent and observing the conversation, suddenly said to Sumarni's mother "the tent."

"Yes aunty if according to Icha anyway... Aunty would like to..!!In fact, if there is a aunt at home is not lonely if Mother and father again come out, there is also Om at home. And any mother's house there will be someone who takes care and who occupies, it's delicious aunt.!! yes.. "count-count anyway...mumpung there is a free ride.... hehehe.!". Ledek Icha to his aunt...

Then Sumarni's mother said to Icha....

"Ih... Icha... base you yes, look out for you, later do not ring your ears as aunty yes....!!!". Said Sumarni's mother to Icha in a loving tone.

Then everyone laughed....

Then Joko asked his daughter Ratna...

"If you think how son... do you agree Mr and mom stay in your old house, and work at Mr. Hartono's house.?"

Then Ratna answered....

"If indeed the Father and Mother agree ratnasi is okay sir, Mom. Ratna agreed, but it would be nice for us to discuss this again with my husband later after work.how mr..bu..?"

"Oh yeah well we'll talk today again with your husband after work.!!". Answer Sumarni's mother....

Then Sumarni's mother and her husband said to his sister, and Mr. Hartono....

"It's fine that we have agreed to the father's offer, but we still have to talk to my son-in-law sir, because it's not nice that this is not with him. because after all we have been together in this house.!!"

Then Mr. Hartono said to Mr. Joko....

"Well then we wait for news from Father and Mother.!! But quickly notify us sir..Mom..!!"

Then Joko said....

"Oh yes sir later in the afternoon Fortunately my daughter-in-law came home, later I immediately spoke with him and later I immediately informed the father.!!"

Then Sumiatun's mother said....

"Well then this is the key to my house, I leave it to my sister. and later when you have spoken to my sister's daughter-in-law, my sister directly contact us. and immediately occupy my house is sis. yes...!!"

"Yes well deck.!". Answer Sumarni's mother....

Then Mr. Harsono, Sumiatun's mother, and Icha say goodbye to them.....

"Well then we say we go home first yes, and do not forget I wait for news from Father and Mother as soon as possible.!!" said Mr. Hartono, saying hello....

"Assalamu'alaikum.!!"

Then Mr. Joko, Ms. Sumarni, and Ratna answered the greeting.....

"Wa'alaikum hail.!!"

Then Mr. Hartono, Sumiatun's mother, and Icha came out of the house to the car, and immediately went home.

Then when he arrived at home, Mr. Hartono, Ibu Sumiatun and Icha immediately entered the house and took a bath, then Salat dzuhur, because time has entered the dzuhur time.

Then after that, Ibu Sumiatun and Icha prepare breakfast for them, then after breakfast ready to put on the table of the living room of the house. and then Ibu Sumiatun and Icha called Mr. Hartono to have breakfast together.

And lifted the PHONE Mother Sumiatun and it turns out that the right one who called it was Sumarni's mother. Sumarni's mother through the phone conversation told Sumiatun's mother, that Sumarni's mother and her husband Joko had finished telling her the thing that was discussed earlier this afternoon.

Hearing the words of Mother Sumiatun and Icha earlier, Sumarni's mother and her husband were delighted.
