ABI'S HUSBAND OF CHOICE

SPAS 02

"I can't Bi. I cannot accept a man who even to teach me the religion of God alone cannot. How should I go about the household with him Bi. I really can't accept a man like that Bi," Aida refused Abinya's request. His heart did not accept such a man.

Truly, this was not something Aida wanted. Even imagining a household with a man who does not know the teachings of God's religion is not easy.

Hasan looked at the face of his son who was very disappointed with his choice. Hasan also did not want to be selfish about his son's life. But the man's family entrusted him with educating their son to know the teachings of God's religion.

"Can't you take it, honey?" Once again Hasan looked at the princess who looked disappointed with him.

Aida shook her head. "No Bi. I really can't accept a man like that. I will not be able to marry a man who can not take me to the path of God," Aida looked at Abinya with a clear look the defendant felt disappointed there.

"Please just this once, dear. You're the only hope the family has for their son. They are confident that you can educate their sons about the teachings of the religion of God. Abi is sure you can and you will definitely be happy with him. Believing Abi," Hasan again persuades his daughter. Even the middle-aged man seemed to be begging the princess.

Hasan believes his daughter can change the man. He is only lost in worldly affairs, because of mismanagement. Forgetting the afterlife is the most real place. The most eternal place forever. The world is only part of the test for a servant. And that's what the man has forgotten.

"I still can't Bi," Aida still rejected Abin's remark.

"Try Abi's news for a clearer reason, son," said Hasan.

"I'm not going to marry her, Bi. Abi knew clearly with the reason I had without having to ask in detail again," Aida replied looking at Abinya. Moreover, what else must be explained, if Abinya knows the reason in detail. There is no way Abinya forgot he said a few years ago. Her brother is not too old to remember what he said when he was a teenager.

"All right," That one word came out of Hasan's mouth. No longer knew having to persuade her daughter to marry her adopted sister's son.

Deep in Hasan's heart, she desperately wants her daughter to marry the son of her adoptive sister. It is not a matter of treasures, even the treasures will also be endless. But because Hasan believes his daughter can change the man as her foster sister said some time ago. At that time his sister also had time to beg him, to persuade Aida to become his daughter-in-law. There is no other way to change the nature of his son than the wife of Sholeha. Although it was difficult at first, he was sure that Aida could. Nothing will change if done in a gentle way.

In the blue tidings of the sky was a woman sitting on a bed holding the Quran in her palms. Do not forget if the woman is still wearing the face she wears while performing the isa prayer.

"Darling to come in?" The middle-aged woman with the status of a mother was bending her head through the door of the princess' room.

Aida who was reading the Qur'an stopped her reading. Glanced at the woman who had given birth to herself decades ago.

"May Mi, come in" he answered with a smile that never faded from the thick lips

The woman who was often called Aisyah stepped into the princess' bed. Even in his hand was a glass of his daughter's favorite chocolate milk.

"Why did Ummi bother making me milk? I can make my own Mi" said Aida when she saw her Umminya carrying a glass of milk in her hand.

"It's okay, honey. At times ummi made a daughter, ummi milk," Aisyah replied after putting the milk she brought on the nightstand.

"May Ummi say something dear?" Currently Aisyah was sitting next to her daughter. He looked at his son with a gentle look as usual.

"Boleh Mi. What did Ummi say?" Aida fused her eyebrows together, out of curiosity Umminya wanted to say what. It seems like a serious thing.

"Can you agree to the last request from Ummi, dear. After this Ummi will never ask anything more from you, son?" Aisyah looked expectantly at the princess. Even the woman's eyes looked teary.

"Why does Ummi speak like that. Don't say that Umm. I don't like it, "Aida doesn't like Umminya saying that, like someone who's going far away.

"Then from that, can you fulfill Ummi's last request, son. Just this once," Aisha's hand held the princess's hand. Because the other hand was holding the Koran that the woman had just read.

"Alright I will accept Ummi's request. But, is that Ummi's request?" Aida looked at the face of this woman in front of her. There was a clear wrinkle near his eyes. Not too much, there are only about three wrinkles.

"Can you promise to fulfill it, son?" Aisyah looked pleased with her son's answer.

Hearing that Aida looked doubtful. But her face implied a great hope. Wanting to say no, Aida was unable to see Umminya's disappointed face. That woman is his weakness. "Yes Ummi, I promise," Finally it's the only word that Aida can break. Even a little Aida was unable to see the disappointed face of Umminya.

Aisyah took a deep breath, then let out slowly. "Marry Abi's adopted sister's son, dear," Aisyah's pinta looked at her daughter.

Aida tekajut at the request of the ummi. It was unthinkable for Aida if her Umminya would ask for what even the woman could not afford to fulfill. His mind really cannot accept such a man.

"I-I can't Umm---"

"Remember Honey. You promised the same ummi," Asiyah interrupted her daughter's speech. Reminds her that her daughter promised herself.

Aida was silent at the words of her beloved woman. Really, it feels like he's stuck with the ummi's words. Can't dodge a bit. Because of the promise that his mouth made.

"But Umm-"

"Darling with ummi. If you only rely on the knowledge of religion that is now in its possession, then your heart will still be difficult to accept it, son. If he wants to learn there is no harm. It could even be later he is more in his religious knowledge than you, son. Perhaps what you want now is not necessarily God's grant. It may even be that what you think is good, not necessarily that God is good." Aisyah displays at length. She, as a mother, is sure that her son will be happy with the man of her husband's choice.

Aida was silent for quite a long time hearing her Umminya's explanation. It is true what Asiyah said. It could be, it could be that the man made him lose a long time if he wanted to learn. No word too late before the time to pick up.

"Well Mi, if that's best for me. In the Lord I will accept it with sincerity, "Aida akhinya. I hope the decision he makes will not be wrong. That's his prayer
