One year later
Takbir continued to echo inside the mosque throughout the night leading up to one Shawwal, Faiz was grateful to be able to follow the takbir in the mosque, while last year he was only at home, the accident happened on the 10th of Ramadan.
"Allahuakbar Allahuakbar Allahuakbar Laailaha Illallahu Allahuakbar Allahuakbar Wallillahilhamd" thus I wear takbir that continues to echo until dawn.
Then sholawat tarhim before dawn began to sound. The dawn adhan began to be echoed, sounding mutually authentic menahut along with the sahutan cock crowing. Then while waiting for the time of iqamah, continued again by echoing takbir.
Indeed, which eye does not shed tears, which heart does not knock when takbir is echoed. This atmosphere is very much missed, this atmosphere is very later, Lebaran will arrive, or even someone has celebrated it? Because the time in various places even different countries.
Iqamah has reverberated, the dawn prayer was performed. After praying and praying, some people continue to proclaim takbir, some others begin to arrange a place for the implementation of Eid prayer.
Exactly at 6.30 Eid prayer was carried out, followed by the sermon and then halal bihalal. Afterwards they all went home to celebrate Eid with their families.
After his older brothers had sungkem to the mother, now it was Faiz's turn to apologize to Azizah, hoping that his sins in one year could be removed on this feast day.
After being with his mother, Faiz was also sungkem with his brothers ranging from his eldest brother to his last brother.
The sungkem event is over, the atmosphere of haru has become commonplace on this holiday. Where those who go will come back, those who are far away will come closer, gathered together as one, celebrating the feast.
They also chatted about various things, until the elder brother's gaze moved on Faiz who was sipping his drink.
"Faiz what's the plan? Yes, there are no candidates either, do not try nyari, what is it" asked the eldest brother 'Farhan'. Already one year after his marriage was canceled, Farhan has not seen the movements of Faiz who will propose to women, or even introduce women to his family has not.
"Yes Iz, that mother you want nimang granddaughter of you, yes no ma'am" teased Fariz second son Azizah. Azizah smiled and nodded confirming Fariz's words.
"Yes Iz, I see, your work is well established and can be done while making the mosque. Do you think about finding a wife?. Inget age son" explained Azizah.
"Mmm if Faiz is planning to sleep this month mas, ma'am" he said making everyone frown confused. Faiz had never just introduced a woman either to her mother or her sisters, but why suddenly there was a proposal.
"Suddenly, not known? Who's candidate?" ask Alifa curiously.
"Nayya mbak, God willing if Nayya is not married, not yet invited by another man and Nayya is ready to go to the household, Faiz wants to propose to her and marry her" all who were there smiled, except Alifa. It seems that the matter of one year ago is still remembered, maybe even the grudge is still in Alifa.
"Is there no other woman besides Nayya Iz, you know, because of her you got into an accident and went to the hospital right? Your knee is also in surgery again. There are many other women out there who are more than Nayya" she explained without looking at Faiz's face. He was busy serving his son 'grandson of Azizah'
"Yaudah it's up to you, but I don't know if you marry Nayya" he explained then went to the back room leaving them all. Radit seemed to be twitching his head, not dizzy, just that he was inexhaustible with his way of thinking Alifa.
"Where's ma'am, mas, does Faiz have to postpone it again? Honestly Faiz there is no prospective wife other than Nayya, because from the first Nayya is what Faiz wants to be a companion to Faiz's life" he said then lowered his resignation.
"Just do the proposal, then let me talk to you" Radit explained later. He as a husband felt guilty because he could not educate his wife 'Alifa' to speak a good and polite word.
"Thank you mas" said Faiz with sumringah. He plans to propose to Nayya and marry her this month. He hopes that everything will be smooth. Either at the time of application or when the wedding arrived.
"Oh yes, about when will the application be? Later insyaallah mas same Nina will come if there is no work" said Farhan who was taken by Nina, the wife 'in-law of Azizah'
"The 10th of Shawwal mas, insyaallah" he said, who was embraced by Azizah as well as his sons and daughters-in-law. After the brothers returned home, Faiz immediately entered, then sat in the living room. He picked up his phone on the table. Then immediately contact someone.
"Hello, Assalamu'alaikum mas" greeted Faiz when his phone was connected to Arya's.
"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" Arya replied from across the phone.
"Minal Aidzin wal faizin mas, sorry inner birth nggih if something wrong" said Faiz later.
"Iya Iz sorry inner born too, by the way tumben called, what's up?" ask Arya curious.
"Well, did Nayya have a husband or a man?" tanyanya.
"There's no Iz, why?" askalanya.
"The plan is I want to lamar Nayya mas, if the mas please and allow, tomorrow God willing the 10th Shawwal I will go there" Faiz explained later.
"Oh, I see, come back, I will tell you the same mother Nayya as well"
"Yes, I turned off the phone first Assalamu'alaikum" after Faiz leaned his body on the sofa.
"Bismillah, hopefully Nayya will accept my proposal this time" he murmured then moved to wear his scabbard and rode his motorcycle to the mosque. Remembering the moment Dzuhur arrived.
