After the Word Talak

CHAPTER 38. Teach Me Islam

After Sean's departure, Aurel walks into his house, inexplicably this feeling gets bigger.

"I can love her but I can't take her from her God, then? Should I abandon my God?" murmured Aurel sat on his sofa home.

Aurel who was like this felt that the world was unfair to her even she had no other family in the midst of all her parents' treasures.

"I need to speak from heart to heart to God" Aurel got up and went into the room.

Aurel took a worried step, as he glanced at the nightstand he found the Quran belonging to Dikta who forgot Dikta brought before and missed so long at Aurel's house.

Somehow the vibration of something happened to Aurel when holding the Quran, he seemed to get something different.

"I won't take it from his Lord and he won't take me from my Lord, but for God's sake I want to change my faith because of something that makes me comfortable," Aurel grabbed her bag and walked out of the house.

Aurel had actually thought about all this confidently, while he was quiet, he felt that he had something to lead him to do this.

Aurel is now standing on the side of the road looking for a taxi, he will meet Sean at his house and express his feelings and desires.

Meanwhile, Mama Reni and Dikta are busy preparing for the seven-monthly Dikta event, there is no great tradition especially Dikta is not a follower of such a tradition, here there is only study.

"Have you ordered the cake?" dikta asked Mama Reni who was busy sweeping the living room of Sean's house.

"Don't you kid, what time does it start?" mama Reni asked to open the door to take out the trash she was sweeping.

Dikta walked to take the carpet and held it in the living room that had been Mama Reni broom earlier. "Jam two Ma, it's twelve o'clock, right?"

"It's straight me aja or Mama want mop first floor?" tanya Dikta made Mama Reni glance at her.

"Mama Pel used to be well dear," replied Mama Reni put a broom next to the door.

Mama Reni then walked to pick up the mop in the kitchen, after the departure of Mama Reni, heard the sound of a car that Dikta knew that it was Sean's car.

"Assalamualaikum," said Sean took off his shoes and entered the house.

"Waalaikumsalam, Brother," Dikta walked up to Sean and kissed his hand.

Dikta sat down next to Sean and leaned his head against his brother's chest. "Gausah, I've ordered my money, it's helped Mama Reni."

Sean glanced at Dikta. "Sister's brother said use your money."

"Gamau ah, I'm the one who's pregnant," Dikta replied pushing her brother's face looking at her seriously.

"Eh Mama Reni is here?" sean asked which made Dikta nod. "Where?"

"Why Nak?" mama Reni asked who came with the mop.

Sean stood up and went to Mama Reni and kissed Mama Reni's hand. "Thank you Ma already want to help Dikta, mending Mama just rest let Sean who mengepel."

"Eh, who should have rested you, you just came home from work, there let Mama mop," replied Mama Reni.

"Where can I rest if Mama I mop myself," Sean snatched the mop. "Well, you're my Mama and Dikta now, so as a child I don't want you to be tired."

Sean leads Mama Reni to sit on the sofa beside Dikta. "Once you win, it's hard to fight with your mom's bujank."

Sean smiled then walked back to pick up the mop before a knock on the door made Sean walk to the door opening the door.

"It's-" Sean's words were cut off. "Aurel?"

"Sister Sean? Teach me Islam" Aurel said firmly.
