LAILA TO KANG ROHIM
EPISODE TWO PROPOSES PRINCESS ABAH UCUP

"So, I apologize if my presence and Rohim and Kidi disturb the rest time Abah and family. As for our arrival here is to propose to the girl Abah.” Said Mr. Toha.

Abah Ucup turned to Kidi and Rohim.

“Wait, this is who wants to marry Mukidi what Kang Rohim?”

Abah Ucup did not expect if the Youth he himself admired proposed to his eldest daughter. Many parents also hope that their girl will find a soul mate like Rohim. Not the rich, not the office. But Rohim's good charisma in the eyes of parents in his village and neighboring villages was able to make him admired by many people.

Abah Ucup confirmed his sitting position. He looked towards Mr. Toha. The man who was asked by Rohim became a representative of himself to propose to Abah Ucup's daughter. It has become a tradition in the village. If you want to apply, then bring a family representative and express their intentions. If the application is accepted then the official procession comes with a large family.

“Rohim Bah, He some time ago expressed his intention to get married and asked for my view there is no girl he can apply to be his wife. It just so happened that Abah also told me that his daughter Abah had no candidate. Yes, I told Rohim to try here first. At least they met and acquaintance first Bah. If it fits Alhamdulilah. Rohim wants her to get married immediately if accepted."

Obviously Mr. Toha at length.

Abah Ucup was silent for a moment, he was shocked because Rohim who was known by the young man who came to his house and wanted to propose to his daughter. He is not a good man in religion.

“Well did you already know Abah's son?”

“Shopping sump, nanging asring mireng naminipun."Answer Rohim.

{Not Bah, But often hear his name.}

“Okay, Can you hear what your purpose is to get married? And choose Abah's child?” Ask Abah Ucup again.

Still looking down Rohim answered Abah Ucup's question. His voice sounds clear. Abah Ucup can see clearly the shady face of the naji teacher.

“Pertami kulo kajeng nglampahaken shari'a Allah ing pundi one of the other than punika omah-omah. Ing pundi omah-omah gadhah tujuwan kangge worship ittib’ rosul njagi honors utawi kemuliyaan manungsa saha njagi kelebetan lebet omah-omah. Lan kulo ngajeng-ajeng saged nmihir dhiri kula saking zina, amargi age pegang sampun age, kuwatos kul0 seduced zina minimal zina manah amargi ngaosi estri gaosi mboten kulo imagine lan vista, kula dereng ngertos ningkang pundi putri abah. Nanging kula ngertos sampun pinten tiyang nyaranaken kula kangge mriki." Reply Rohim steady.

{First I want to practice the Sharia of God where one of them is marriage. Where marriage aims to worship ittibaut’ rosul maintain the honor or glory of man and preserve in the household. And I wish I could stay away from adultery, because of my mature age, I worry about being tempted by the minimum of zina of the heart because I admire women who are not lawful I imagine and look at, I don't know which one is Abah's daughter. But all I know is how many people have advised me to come here.}

Abah Ucup and Mr. Toha look mangosteen. While Kidi was only silent but from there he wanted to take the tengginang that was on the plate. But the shame held him back. Abah Ucup heard Rohim speaking in fine Javanese, he was even more amazed by the man who was famous for his cleavage he also lowered his gaze and his wisdom in teaching children who where there was no payment that was tempting enough, there are even some residents who never give Rohim anything as long as their children learn to teach with Rohim.

Mukidi was not separated from a sense of admiration, amazed at her friend who was so guarding her gaze. For as long as they were friends, he hardly ever saw Rohim staring or looking at women. Unlike her who would be so fascinated if there was a beautiful girl nearby. Even Mukidi did not hesitate to approach the girl.

Abah Ucup who heard Rohim's words rubbed his chin that did not have a beard. He thought of something, then he invited his guests to enjoy the dishes that had been prepared by his wife a while ago. Mukidi also smiled widely, she first took the tengginang from earlier glimpsed.

Abah Ucup observes Rohim, according to him who is relaxed and also humorous but also a serious person especially when talking about preaching. For Abah Ucup, Rohim is not only fluent in the theory of religious laws but also their application in the daily life of the young man. Not just a theory, but a practice in his life.

He is indeed a pious young man but does not look down on people who have not practiced their religious faith. Especially with older people. After Mr. Toha and Rohim and Kidi enjoyed the dish, Abah Ucup gave an answer to Mr. Toha's question.

“So how Bah, Is this accepted Rohim's proposal or want to introduce his son first?” Ask Mr. Toha.

“A minute, wait.” Abahk Ucup stood up from his seat.

Abah Ucup walks towards the picture frame. He dropped the picture frame. Then he put the picture frame on the table in a closed state.

“Menawi kulo nampi sampeyan nanging sanes kangge lar pertami kulo . Ananging lare kalih kula kula . sampeyan angsal sumerp fotonipun. Puniku wisudahipun photos per week ngang rumiyin. Midherek kula, youngest daughter kula langkung fit kangge nak Rohim." Reply Abah Ucup who uses Java alus because of embarrassment since Rohim used a language that very few young people can use this language.

Rohim is getting bowed. He did not dare to open the picture. Hearing the word whisudah made Rohim's heart shrink. He is only a pesantren hut alumni. He only has an SD degree. It was because from a small age he was in a Salafist hut that did not have the validity of the correspondence so that his diploma had not been recognized by the government.

Mr. Toha saw Rohim just looking down silently, he knew what his younger brother was thinking.

“Come Kang, just open it. Yes who knows fit.” whispered Mr. Toha.

Rohim was still down, but at first glance he glanced at the picture frame lying on the table.

“Kados puniki mawon bah, kula mangke tilaraken photos of kula. Lan tulung jlentrehaken ing youngest daughter abah menawi kula namung SD graduates. Mila menawi piyambakipun nampi kulo. Kulo ajeng saenggalipun nglamar piyambakipun kalih official." Answer Rohim.

{Beginnya Bah, I will leave my photo. And please explain to the youngest daughter Abah that I am only a graduate of Elementary School. If he accepts my proposal. I will immediately apply for him officially.}

Abah Ucup was shocked because he was surprised, how Rohim did not want to see his daughter's face. Abah Ucup is only worried that Rohim will be disappointed, because his first daughter is more beautiful than his second daughter. Because usually men will find a beautiful wife.

“Well, how is that? Later you regret that she is not as beautiful as my eldest daughter?” Abah Ucup asked curiously.

Rohim answered Abah Ucup's curiosity with a question.

“Pangapunten abah, nanging abah nggih kenging punapa matchmaking kula kalih youngest daughter abah sanes kalih pertami abah princess. Dene midherek sir Toha, Abah saweg madosi jodho kangge abah reader's daughter."

{Sorry Abah, but why did you betroth me to the youngest daughter Abah not to the first Princess Abah. Meanwhile, according to Mr. Toha, Abah is looking for a mate for the eldest daughter Abah.}

Abah Ucup sipped his coffee and answered Rohim's question.

“Slruuup.. cep.cep...” (the voice of Abah Ucup meyerup coffee).

“Based on your intention and purpose of getting married then I think you are more suitable for my youngest daughter. The way you look at life has something in common. I'm the parent of both my daughters. Then I know better the character of my two daughters. And I'll make sure my youngest daughter's a better fit for you. Intentions of worship in the frame of the household."

Rohim was forced by Abah Ucup to open a photo on the table. With the mention of basmalah in his heart Rohim flipped the picture frame. He was about to open the photo, then quickly reverse the photo again. One explanation is that he and the youngest daughter Abah Ucup have something in common in looking at what it means to be married so Rohim chose what is suggested to have the girl.

Still looking down in shame, Rohim proposes to Laila for himself. He whispered something to Mr. Toha.

Mr. Toha again conveyed what Rohim wishes to Abah Ucup.

“Bismilahhirommannirrohim. Alhamdulilah, Rohim intends to propose to the youngest daughter Abah."

“Alhamdulilah, I will give you the answer in one month. I will immediately contact my daughter who is now still in the boarding school. Yesterday after graduation he was detained by Kyai and his Nyai Bu. I worry about marrying someone far away. I only have two children."

When Abah Ucup said that. Her eldest daughter who had flowered from earlier because she heard him in the room Rohim. At once he felt sad and angry with Abah Ucup. Heart's broken. He is hurt, because the real one has long put his heart on Sumber Sari's village naji teacher. But his love has not yet grown.

Abah Ucup even asked the idol heart to marry his younger brother. Back he felt in the duet number by Abah Ucup. He who used to want to work in the city is not allowed while his sister mondok until just holding a religious bachelor's degree is always followed by his will.

“Hiks, bear Abah... Hiks, hiks... Watch out for you Laila!"
