POV Rican...

This is where Rico is now, in a boarding house in a remote village that is very far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and all its activities. It's been two days that Rico has isolated himself from everyone he loves so much.

His broken heart could not be healed just by silence and lamenting the fate of his own region, he should really be able to step away and learn to be more sincere in order to accept all that has become His Terms.

In just two days Rico had been more sincere and could set his heart properly all this he would not get if he just kept silent. Not only can I be sincere that Rico got but he also got the lessons that so far he wanted to learn.

Tonight is the last night Rico is there and tomorrow morning he has to come back to fight for something he might still be able to fight for and that is the last time.

In the stillness of the night under the moonlight Rico sat alone the sorrow of his girl would always be his sorrow as well even though it was in no distance at all close.

A drop of crystal escaped unwanted by Rico, seeing her girl who was locked away for her senseless disappearance was heartbreaking on this silent night.

Not only from Aisha alone Rico was not alone and gave reasons for his departure but from everyone, even to his parents alone Rico only said that he would only go to take care of his work and did not explain where the place was.

"I'm sorry bang Rico, Shah. Not the intention of your brother to leave you, brother just wants to calm the heart, strengthen his that had hesitated."

Rico muttered, his face kept looking up at the sky filled with stars and also the moon is almost perfectly round. More precisely Rico tried to hold back his tears so as not to continue sliding freely as he pleased.

"Why is our road so heavy, Shah. What exactly is our fault?"

A hand touched Rico's shirt, making him turn to see who was coming.

"Sir kyai.. "

The proud man whom Mr. Kyai was calling Rico smiled slightly, let go of his hand and sat down next to Rico.

Mr. Kyai looked at Rico for a moment, he saw clearly that so many problems were on Rico's mind. No Rico knows that it turns out that Mr. Kyai is also the same as himself, someone who has advantages that not everyone has.

Rico's mind must be easily known by Mr. Kyai, let alone higher knowledge than Rico, surely Mr. Kyai more able to use it properly and correctly.

Mr. Kyai turned to look far ahead, sighing long before prayer gave advice to Rico who was now agitated.

"Sometimes we feel that God is unfair with us, everything we want is always inversely proportional to everything that is the provision. But rest assured Son, God will always give his best" said Mr. Kyai.

Rico could only smile a little in response to a remark from Mr. Kyai, maybe what he said was true and he also had to keep learning to be sincere in accepting it.

"God is good, whatever you experience, it must be the best. Maybe now you feel everything is tiring, but rest assured that in time, you will say 'this is the reason God gives trials'. You have to be sincere, because that's what you're supposed to do now,"

"Yes, Mr. Kyai, "Rico replied with a bowed face.

"What you fought for today, did not escape Qodarullah. The process teaches many things, while the results have been determined by the Supreme Being, "

"Sir Kyai... " Rico glanced at Mr. Kyai, he was confused by everything Mr. Kyai said, as if he knew everything he had experienced.

Mr. Kyai turned his head also towards him so that their eyes met immediately, Mr. Kyai smiled to see the confused-faced Rico, "fight if it can still be fought, if it can still be fought, if it can not be fought then release it with a sincere heart. If he's not, then there's something better God has prepared for you, son,"

"Sir Kyai, you know? " Rico frowning.

Mr. Kyai just nodded the two of them had advantages but they did not know what they had from the envy that was before them.

"If you come home tomorrow, never forget this place. The kids are very happy with your arrival. And, yeah! Please give my regards to the lucky girl, if you've been together bring her here, introduce me."

"I-yes Mr. Kyai," Rico replied nervously.

"And, yeah! Give my regards to Ustadz Rayyan as well, tell her that Ahmad wants to see her" he said.

"What's? Mr Kyai knows Om Rayyan? " ask Rico.

Kyai Ahmad patted Rico on the shoulder, he almost laughed if he remembered the mischief of the two of them first. But Kyai Ahmad did not think that Rayyan would become what it is today, a very hard and selfish person. Though Kyai Ahmad knew that Rayyan was very good and also soft-hearted, only when young saha she was a little cold but after marriage the cold had changed.

"He was a childhood friend" replied Kyai Ahmad.

Not expecting that Rico will meet with childhood friends from Rayyan, the world feels really narrow until Rico meets people who are also close to the Aisyah family.

"Oh.. " Rico nodded, but he was still curious. If Kyai Ahmad was Rayyan's childhood friend why now he's in a place so far away.

"Not to be confused, one day you will know," said Kyai Ahmad made Rico smile shyly, "now rest, and pick up your happiness tomorrow. Don't let you be late."

"Yes, Mr. Kyai, "Rico nodded, before leaving Rico gave his best regards to Kyai Ahmad first, he closed his eyes as he lowered his head.

Like a tape of all those times that Rico wanted to know instantly revolved around his brain. Rico could tell Kyai Ahmad who his parents were, his grandparents were, and finally Rico could tell right then and there.

"Son, you didn't fall asleep here, did you?" Kyai Ahmad was puzzled because Rico had so long looked down and was still shaking his hand, "son."

"i-yes!" Rico was surprised when Kyai Ahmad called him.

"Sleep.., if you have bad luck, your girl will soon go up to the beach with someone else" said Kyai Ahmad.

" Yes, mr. Kyai. Assalamu'alaikum," Rico moved up and immediately went to his room as long as he was there.

Kyai Ahmad continued to look at Rico's back, he did not think he also had the arrival of a young man who was struggling to get children from his childhood friends first.

"Ray, why did you become like this. Kasian Abi if you stay like this for a long time," muttered Kyai Ahmad who also called Fahmi with the call Abi as well.

After leaving with the residents of Kyai Ahmad boarding school, Rico immediately took his motorcycle to return to the city.

The calm he had actually gained now, he was more willing to accept all the worst realities he might get.

"I'll come, Shah. I'm coming, "His heart is steady to fight again for his girl, about the results let God determine.

Rico's departure is also not only for his knowledge but he also continues to realize Rayyan's wishes. Rico is willing to do everything for the sake of the diamond that is considered by Rayyan, namely Aisyah. And Rico will fight to get the diamond, he doesn't care even if he's only considered a useless black pebble.

Although by selling the only workshop in his possession, Rico was willing even Rico also sold his house which some then he had mortgaged.

Before actually returning Rico had to pick up the letters as well as the keys to the house he managed to buy, he said, yes even though the house was not so big but he could already call it a decent house to bring Aisyah home and become a mistress in that house.

A luxurious house was in sight, but it was not a house that Rico had not yet bought but the house of the owner of the house he had bought.

"Alhamdulillah.. " Rico got down, rushed to quickly enter the house and immediately came to Aisyah's house to deliver this happy news that she had succeeded.

𝘛𝘰𝘬... 𝘛𝘰𝘬... 𝘛𝘰𝘬...

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.. " Excited Rico while knocking on the door of the luxury house.

Before long the door was wide open, the face of a woman carrying a small child who was only three years old was seen.

The woman fell silent, looking at Rico full of question marks, "Rico! You're Rico, right?! " Squeak the young woman.
