A Friend From the Past

Section 21

Time goes on, but Elin's days are like black clouds, dark without light.His days he always uses to keep looking for Nabil, although the police stated that Nabil was dead, he did not believe him. His little heart said that Nabil was alive, his love was not dead.

For three years, Nabil never showed himself. Makes his mind start to doubt that his lover is still alive, although as strong as his heart believes that the lover is still alive but circumstances seem to indicate that his love is gone.

As in previous days, after the hospital Elin would go to where Nabil had an accident, just to see after that back home.

The car that Elin was riding in began to move away from the place where Nabil had an accident three years ago. Now the car began to circle the road to get to the destination.

After forty-five minutes, the car arrived home.

When he arrived at the middle room, he was immediately asked to sit by his father. Well, Dirman's father is sad to see his eldest daughter is no longer as happy as she used to be.

"Sit down son, I want to talk to you about something important" Dirman's father asked

"Yes, Dad" answered Elin and sat her body before her father

"Son, before I wanted to apologize for everything that happened to you and Nabil but I have decided for you to marry the man of choice" said Dirman's father slowly but full of charisma firmly

Deg

"Dad, didn't Elin say that I rejected this" Elin replied in a raucous voice

"Dad knows, but this decision was taken before Nabil died and maybe this is an answer from God that the man of your choice is your soul mate" he said full of gentleness but sounded firmly in the ear of Elin

"Father but.'' said Elin cut directly by Bunda Wati

"What your father said is real, son. Perhaps you and Nabil are not yet a match and this is the destiny of God. About love, Mommy is sure if you are married and used to being with him, surely the love will slowly appear. Believe me dearly that this is the best choice that God has given you" Sela Bunda Wati in a soft and gentle tone

"think this with a calm heart and mind dear and do not forget to ask for guidance from God" continued Mother Wati

"yes, Bun. then Elin to the room first" said Elin before moving from there

It's been a week, after Dirman's father's talk with Elin, Dirman's father no longer discussed it. Because for him, his eldest daughter needed time to think and calm the heart.

While eating breakfast, Elin seemed to keep daydreaming and occasionally glanced at the Mother and Father.

"Well, Elin wants to talk to Daddy about something important" he said after daydreaming

''Speak son" said Dirman's father

"Elin wants to marry the man of choice father" he said, almost inaudible

"thank God, but I hope you accept this not because of Father and Mother but because this is God's choice for you" said Dirman's father trying to strengthen the heart of his first daughter, who answered a nod by Elin

"Alright, father will tell this news to Angga first" after saying that, he went straight to the room to tell this to Angga the future husband of his first daughter

In the room, Elin was praying with tears flowing down

"*Oh Allah, if this is the destiny that You gave to the servant, God willing the servant sincerely accepts it. But I beg you, O Allah, to strengthen the heart of this weak servant"

"O Allah, if indeed it is not Nabil's soul mate, please open the door of the servant's heart to be able to accept and love the future husband You choose for the servant. O Allah, open your hearts to receive what You have set for you. Only You are the place where the servant pours out all the grievances of the servant, O Allah*"
