Marrying My Brother's Fiancee
EXTRA PART. A MOTHER'S DREAM
Almost half an hour, Diah and Mama Doddy spoke in separate rooms while Doddy sat face to face with his papa, in a tense manner.
"Papa, do you mind if I marry Diah?" Ask Doddy then with all his courage.
Mr. Ferdian sighed, looking heavy.
"I'd like to take you in, two more weeks." Suddenly his father spoke. Far from answering his son's questions, Papa Doddy so clearly shifted the direction of their conversation.
"Papa?" Doddy actually knew the plan from papa and his mother to go umrah, but he did not know if he would be invited and because like the plan of papa and his mother, they wanted to umrah alone.
And somehow Doddy felt his papa diverted the conversation and seemed to be trying to avoid the real topic.
"You suddenly want to take you there, he said maybe there you'll find what you want, the three of us, just the three of us."
Doddy was silent, staring at the father, he felt his heart ache so much, realizing that his parents never expected him to marry Diah. The words of his father seemed to put a limit that in their lives, there were only three people and no one else could enter except with the permission of his parents.
"Mama and Papa have been there twice, this is the third time. The place is very beautiful and you never stood there without feeling so calm and sad. When you set your feet in Jerusalem, you will long for your whole life to return to it." The father continued to speak.
"Papa, I'd be happy to be there. But, right now we're talking about something else." With Doddy's little fuss, he goes awry when he feels his papa isn't interested in talking about his relationship with Diah.
"Doddy..." Winning, Mr. Ferdian preferred to call him by that name, in contrast to his mother, because his father made his first name, Doddy.
"There is one place among the many beautiful and sacred places there, its name is Multazam, it is a place where prayer is almost always in the temple. Every prayer that is said in that place will be answered. It's God's promise.
Multazam is the part of the wall of the Kaaba between the black stone and the door of the Kaaba. When Prophet Muhammad conquered Mecca, the Prophet and his companions entered the Kaaba. Between the black stone of the aswad and the entrance of the Kaaba, the Prophet attached his body, face, hands and fingers to the wall of the Kaaba. There the Prophet and his companions prayed.
The first time my father and mother prayed there, we begged a handsome boy and sholeh, a good boy and listened to the parents, a child who was afraid of Allah SWT.
And do you know? A year later you were born into the world, becoming the most beautiful gift to us." Papa Doddy sighed again, giving Doddy time to digest all his words.
"Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity to the Holy Land, for Umrah or Hajj, papa always intends to go to Multazam. Experience proves that some of the prayers you said in that place were granted, do you not want to pray there?" Papa Doddy smiled slightly as if recalling some wonderful things in his memories.
"Because my father and mother wanted to take you there, because your mother had a dream when you were a child, the woman who became your soul mate was a woman who sat beside you while in Multazam."
The talisman was like a hammer that instantly shattered all Doddy's hopes.
Yes, actually needless to say, papa and his mother had clearly rejected Diah as their daughter-in-law.
In the time of his heartache now, even he still could not resist, because he was a truly obedient child. His eyes turned red, his feelings headed in an instant.
Diah, not the woman his mother dreamed of, was not found by Doddy in Multazam. But, Doddy felt really in love with her. How unfair it feels to Doddy when the person he loves cannot be accepted because he is not the one in his mother's dream.
"Father, mama is a wise and realistic person...This is far from the attitude of the mother I know. He always taught me to love sincerely, without judging the background and past of others. Mama was the one who always believed in my choice, she would not break my heart just because of her dream of "Smoke Doddy with a hoarse voice.
"Doddy, you certainly wouldn't have the heart and hope of your mama just because of a woman, would you?" Papa Doddy leaned his head towards Doddy, his voice so smooth.
Doddy didn't budge, only his eyes didn't blink, they dewed. Although he was a man but he also could not stem the pain that so stifled his heart now, never did he feel his heart as broken as now
"Give your mother a chance to see her dream, if it never happens then go home and fight from the beginning again. You can create dreams with others throughout your life but a glorious opportunity when you can realize your mother's dreams. Go with us, just this once. After that, you can do whatever you think is right." Papa patted Doddy on the shoulder, as two clear hairs fell from the corner of his eye.
"Males won't cry just from a broken heart." Whisper the papa, at the same time mama Doddy and Diah emerge from another room.
Diah's eyes were so puffy, like she had cried so much.
"Doddy, get Diah home now. It's not good if he has to come home too late..." Mama said the sentence so as to undo the intention of Diah who would sit back next to Doddy.
Doddy was stunned, loosening his head at his mother, a million disillusionment implied from his deeply hurt gaze.
"I'd better get home now..." Said Diah wrongly, his voice sounded trembling and grabbed his handbag which he put on the floor near the foot of the table. Then greeted papa and mama Doddy, and then greeted Doddy, kissed their hands solemnly as if it was their last meeting.
