Allow the Heart to Choose

12. Go without saying goodbye

Rico's eyes were still closed, he was just squirming even though there was already the call of the Lord in the morning.

Because I thought too much about Aisyah so that Rico could not sleep well at all. Rico was only able to close his eyes after three in the morning.

" ALLAHU AKBAR ALLAHU AKBAR...!!

There was another sound of azan in the mosque next to Rico's house. Rico started to blink his eyes. Rubbing his eyes slowly. " Athaghfirullah, it's dawn. Though just now my eyes can be closed" he said with eyes that are still reluctant to open.

Rico got out of his bed and immediately went to the bathroom to clean himself up and took ablution there. Although Rico had little religious knowledge but one that Rico knew, he had a duty to his Lord to do his commandment, which was to pray five times.

Ten minutes Rico wrestled in the bathroom he came out of there, taking the sarong, kopyah and prayer mat he was going to wear to face his Lord.

" Allahu akbar.. " So fervently Rico confronted himself and turned to his Lord. Perform the five prayers as it should and should.

Finished in the prayers Rico will never forget every prayer that he always say every day. There was not much he asked for, only happiness for Aisha was always there in every desire.

" O God, if one day I lose my hope and my purpose, give me the confidence that Your Destiny is better than all that I want and dream of." rico said with both hands up and pleaded. " Amin"

Rico rubbed both hands to his face, Rico back prostrated up to a few minutes whatever his expectations are now.

In a different place, Aisyah was still faithfully locked herself in her room, Aisyah was also the same, she was on a prayer mat with a face that covered all her aurat.

Ayesha's tears trickled down her palm in her prayer. " What must Aisha do, O Allah "Aisha is sobbing, unable to continue the prayer she wishes.

Aisyah stopped her prayer, wiped away the tears and collapsed, curled up on the prayer mat. Tears just kept flowing at will and Aisyah let her just like that.

" i must not be weak, I must not be like this "Aisyah brushed her face violently using her hands. moved and released her face quickly, Aisha briskly, fold it up and put it on the nightstand.

" All that will happen, all is His will. And I can't just cry with all this. This is not Aisyah, Aisyah is a strong girl she will not cry just because of this kind of problem, "Aisyah snatched her hijab, put it on and also took her black backpack.

Aisyah stepped out of her residence, not a single person knew that Aisyah had now left the house. Aisyah picked up the phone she had in her pocket. The old phone he left and now he's wearing it again.

" Assalamu'alaikum Mr. Jon. Can I get Aisyah now? " said Aisyah.

Aisyah hurriedly put her phone in again after getting an answer from the person she had contacted earlier. Aisyah went further hoping that no one would know where she was going.

The black sedan car stopped in front of Aisyah, Aisyah went straight in after confirming that the person inside was the person she had called earlier. "the road, Mr. Jon. " aisyah Pinta.

" Good Miss. " The man in black clothes with a sturdy body immediately drove his car after getting an order from Aisyah. "where are we going, Miss.? "

" To the place where the thugs are. I want my things back "Aisyah replied coldly.

" well, " replied Jon obediently.

" Why is ustadz so nervous? what do you really think, "ask Faisal.

Faisal and Farel were returning home from the mosque after performing congregational prayers and also teaching najai there. With their hands carrying their prayer mats, each of them continued to step but slowly.

" sa-my? "

" Hm? "

" Last night I heard Aisha crying. Is she okay? is there a problem happening to him? " ask Farel.

Last night Farel overheard Aisyah crying at night. Farel was passing behind the pendopo where Aisyah's room was. Farel did not know for sure what problem was happening to Aisyah, was it because of her match? only one question that always comes in the brain Farel, but many times Farel brushed it off.

Faisal paused for a moment, "try I'll ask him later?" answer Faisal.

" Thank you ustadz" said Farel, developing a smile.

" it's time for ustadz to get ready, Ustadz has to go to campus, right today? " asked Faisal and Farel just nodded.

" I'm sorry, ustadz "part Farel. " Assalamu'alaikum.! "

" Wa'alaikumsalam "

Faisal rushed to the pendopo he was very curious about what had been said by Farel, Faisal wanted to make sure for himself what happened to his sister.

Faisal entered the pendopo and was immediately greeted by Rayyan who was drinking tea in the living room accompanied by Fikri, while Keisha and Adiba were in the kitchen preparing breakfast for them. " Assalamu'alaikum, Pa, uncle. "greet Faisal.

" Wa'alaikumsalam, "answer the two together.

" Deck, isn't this all too fast? don't you want to hear Aisha's answer before it's all done? Mas just do not want if it gets to the front of him there will be problems" said Fikri.

" it's going to happen anyway, Mom. I trust Farel very much, He will be able to accept and will take care of Aisha. "

" but with Aisha herself? did he really accept Farel and this matchmaking? " ask Fikri who is really very worried.

" I'm sure, Mas. Aisyah will. "Rayyan's words stopped when Faisal returned from Aisyah's room while shouting.

" By! Aisha is not in the room? where's she? " ask Faisal.

" Nothing!! where possible? " Rayyan flinched to his feet quickly and looked at Faisal sharply. "how can! from last night he didn't come out at all! "

"This is what I'm afraid of, Deck! " excited Fikri.

" What! Aisha is not in the room? " Keisha who just came out of the kitchen with the plate in her hand was shocked. " Aisyah where, Pa! "

" I don't know either, Ma.! " everything was so panicked. "I'll order people to look for it, that kid really made me high blood! "'angry Rayyan.

" Patience, Deck. "

" no, Mum! if she had always been like this, not only was she engaged in these five days, but she would have been married to Farel straight away" exclaimed Rayyan.

" Morning, Mother. Morning, Dad. " Rico joined sitting at the dinner table with his parents who were waiting for breakfast.

Both of Rico's parents frowned at Rico's lazy state and there were even eye bags that were clearly visible. "you stay up again because of the game? " ask Marno Rico's father.

" is that right, Ric? " look at Susan.

" what the hell, Bun! Rico wasn't staying up late because of the game but Rico really couldn't sleep?"

" why? what do you think you can't sleep?" saut Marno precedes Susan.

Rico still reluctant to answer, Rico prefers to take breakfast fried rice and omelet also crackers and immediately feed on his mouth.

Susan and Marno just sighed they did not want to bother more about what Rico experienced because they were afraid Rico would stop his breakfast later.

" slowly down Rico. "said Susan rebuking Rico who saw her eating she sped up. "don't choke. "

" Morning Om, auntie morning, Brother Rico morning! "

All of them turned to the source of the voice. " Eh Felisha, here son! " Susan was so sparkling with the arrival of Felisha, the girl seemed to have already managed to take Susan's heart for now.

Felisha swung her legs quickly and joined her sitting next to Rico just like that because by chance her seat was only four there. " Sister Rico, Felisha went to her college! " said Felisha.

Rico chews lazily, his mod just disappears as well as his eating desire. "sorry, Feli. I want to walk "Rico replied flatly.

" Yes already then, Feli will also go on foot. All of us can walk together. "the spirit of Feli.

" uh... both of you are suitable. like you are a match" said Susan.

Rico moved quickly, greeting his parents without a word of song except for greetings only. " Assalamu'alaikum "Rico is gone.

Susan and Marno whistled at each other as usual Rico would always be like this if in alluded to the matter of a mate. Rico will run away without a word.

"'Sister Rico! why is Feli staying anyway?, excuse me aunt, Om. " Feli also greeted both like Rico and after that ran after Rico who turned out to have hunted away with his bike.

In front of the house Feli stomped his feet repeatedly he was very upset because in staying by Rico "Kat Rico lied! he said he wanted to walk, uh. turned out to ride a motorcycle, and now Feli in stay again. "germutu.

" what's up, Feli! " cried Susan who also came out and saw Feli who was grumbling, well even though Susan did not hear him anyway.

" hehehe, it's okay, tan! that only? Brother Rico turned out to be lyingin Feli said he wanted to walk turned out to ride a motorcycle. Yes, aunt! Feli left first. Assalamu'alaikum! " answered Felisha with a slight shout.

" wa'alaikumsalam! " Susan shook her head, Rico who always ran from Feli can really be read by Susan if Rico does not like Feli. "that child, until when will be single? don't you like his old parents like this, Rico basic." murmured Susan.
