Akad Shackle

Maximizing Ikhtiyar

"Sometimes someone comes into our lives just as a firework. Lighted, beautiful, dim and finished" said Rahma with eyes that showed disappointment and hurt, the experience of life has really traumatized her to start again.

"And I've experienced that, sorry ... not the intention of equating, but for now this heart is not really ready to re-believe if the coming will settle, not just stop by"

Rahma took a deep breath, the same sentence Rahma had said to some of the men who had come to express their hearts to her. However, somehow it felt so heavy to say Rahma at this time. There is something that makes his heart and mind out of sync, but Rahma does not want to be sure what it is.

Instead of being offended and angry then giving up seen from Tama's facial expression when she heard Rahma's current answer. He smiled meaningfully with a gaze that could not be separated from the woman sitting opposite him now.

If today his efforts fail, he will not give up because there is still tomorrow. Tama nurtured the spirit in his heart.

"Remember Tama who failed is your business, not your life. And as long as you're alive, maximizing that effort must be, remember the plans you've made. Even if the plan is destroyed, it does not mean that your future is also destroyed. Calm what Allah wills will not be stopped. Fighting Tama!"

In his heart Tama suggested to himself not to despair and never give up. From here he knows how deep the wounds that Rahma's ex-husband has incised in his heart.

"Sorry" said Rahma with her head lowered,

" It's okay, thanks for the answer. However, allow me to assure you that I am not what you fear, that being with me is not what you imagine. Let me replace your past memories with a series of stories you'll always want to remember. Today, tomorrow and in the future" said Tama steady, he was showing his sincerity in front of the angel of his heart,

"Pak Tama, I.." not yet complete Rahma responded to Tama's expression just now, the man had been waiting for her, he said,

"Naura Rahmania. Sometimes walking slowly will make you see and feel more things. There is no need to rush to reach every post, the important thing is that the path you take is not wrong" said Tama calming, azzam his heart is strong to continue to fight for his love, he said, tama's heart was sure his feeling this time was right. Rahma is the woman she has to fight for.

Rahma was stunned again to hear a sentence that was so convincing and sounded sincere Tama said. In his heart he again felt strange vibrations that he had never felt before.

"Sir, actually...." Rahma again paused her speech, stared at the man who looks so shining face tonight.

After the prayer, Maghrib Rahma decided to finish everything tonight. Several times with Tama, she knew that the man had other intentions towards her. Actually Rahma could feel the sincerity of his attention and treatment, his heart even warmed and moved but again the logic goes back to not being rash in making decisions.

"Tell me whatever you want to say, say everything you want to say" Tama said with a gentle look,

"Thank you for expressing your feelings and concern that felt so sincere to me and Athaya. One more thing you should know, however, is that marriage is not just about uniting two intertwined hearts, uniting two interested bodies together, but further than that is uniting two families of different cultures and thoughts" Rahma sighed pausing her words,

"And in the end it is not about who is interesting, but who can accept the shortcomings well" Rahma continued,

"For so long, getting married was no longer my life priority even though it didn't seem to be on my list of plans that I would go through in life. The most important thing for me is to make sure Athaya lives and grows well and correctly. Sorry if I overdo it, but I don't want to sacrifice Athaya's happiness for my happiness. All this time his presence in my life has been a drug and tranquilizer that is not comparable" explained Rahma steady, his gaze did not switch a bit from Tama when he spoke, even from his body language he displayed his firmness.

"You're afraid my family can't accept your and Athaya's status?" ask Tama softly,

"Heumm" and answered a nod of the head by Rahma,

"Yourfts..."Tama took her breath,

"Your fear is excessive Naura" said Tama, she sipped tea that was almost cold on the table.

"I think not sir, you need to know also if my fear is also based on experience. One of the causes of the division in the household that I have ever intertwined is due to the demands of the family about heredity, where at that time we had not been trusted by God to have it. So I said, the edges are not about who is interesting, but about who is able to accept the shortcomings well" Rahma repeated her words again,

Tama's heart beat faster hearing what Rahma said at the beginning, his heart also felt pain imagining what pressure Rahma received at that time.

"I'm sorry, not that I'm trifling. But I want to assure you, I will make sure that I will fight for you in front of my family. Your job is just to stand by my side and accompany me forever."

No one seemed to be flushing over Rahma's heart, what Tama said made her heart touched. But logic returned to it.

"Sorry sir, I do not want to put more hope in humans, because finally disappointed who will dominate. If today I am everything to someone, tomorrow can be no longer anyone" Rahma knows she is an adult, time has shaped her to be able to make wise choices in deciding.

"Naura, we are no longer big new children who just know love. We are both adults and understand each other's needs. Marriage is the most expensive worship. The problem is half religion and running it throughout the age then it takes gratitude and patience in living it. Please give me a chance to prove it" Tama is still trying to display her seriousness,

"After getting your permission, let me fight for you in front of my family. Trust me, I really mean it. Do you know what my life was like after you left? I think Lisna and Regy told me everything, and consider it a dedication I dedicate to my love"

Rahma took a breath she felt like she didn't win talking to Tama. The man always had an answer to his every worry.

"Pak .. please give me some time" Rahma said at last and was taken in by Tama with a big smile adorning her face. His heart was sure, his efforts would bear sweet fruit.

"Now there are sky paths that must be considered" said Tama in his heart,
