Happy Reading's...

Rico continued to advance his bike at moderate speed, his mind was so confused with the road like what he would do.

Why is so big a test of love, maybe he is guilty because he and Aisyah are in love at a time that has not yet arrived, maybe it is too soon they put each other's feelings.

True said the parents, if in love before having it would be very wrong. Rico can't blame anyone, but he's guilty himself. Love is better after halal, right?.

But, although like that he also cannot blame love, because the guilty is the culprit not his love.

"If I can't make it all happen, then I'm not his soul mate." Mumbled Rico.

"Maybe I do not deserve to be with him, my knowledge is not much, my wealth is also nothing from him. Maybe I was too stupid to expect more. But I will still fight to make it happen because anything requires a struggle. However, if the struggle fails it means it is not sustenance."

Rico continued muttering alone, because that was all he could for now. Rico was confused as to how? He only has a large Resto, the workshop is not so much income, then where else will he get all that?.

Not only the material that Rico had to pursue, but at the same time he also had to learn so that he could align what Aisyah had.

Tired of heart, tired of mind, tired of energy all will definitely get Rico within a month, yes if finally he can get what he wants, otherwise? It will all be in vain.

"There will be nothing in vain if I cannot achieve it. At least I can get a little savings and can also add to my knowledge. "

It turns out Rico thinks otherwise with everything. "Destroy everything because of God, Rico. Then all that you get will not be in vain and will be priceless as worship."

"Rican! Just stop! I want to talk to you!" Shouted Ikhsan who turned out to follow Rico by driving a car.

Rico turned his head for a while, clearly seeing Ikhsan several times poking his head through the car window. Ikhsan kept shouting hoping Rico would stop and talk to him.

There was no way Rico would stop at just any place, the distance he had with his restaurant was also not far, so he decided to lead Ikhsan to the Nusantara Resto.

Within five minutes Rico arrived in front of the Nusantara Resto, he parked his motorbike and a few moments followed by an Ikhsan car parked next to him.

The two get off their vehicles, Ikhsan looks fast approaching Rico who is still releasing his helmet.

"Rico, we have to talk" Ikhsan said impatiently.

Rico put the helmet on his bike, turned towards Ikhsan with a flat face.

"Let's sir, we're talking inside."

Ikhsan only goes along with what Rico wants even though he himself does not know that the Resto is Rico's.

"Hem.. "

The two walked together, entered and immediately looked for a comfortable place for them to chat.

Not even Rico and Ikhsan reached their place, Dante came out of the kitchen and quickly approached Rico.

"Boss, all the ingredients are exhausted. Do you want me or the boss to go to the market? " ask Dante.

"You'll be there, I'm a Caribbean guest" Rico replied.

Ikhsan was still silently listening, he would not interrupt their conversation even though he was anxious. Ikhsan just needs to wait for time.

"Ready.. Go ahead, boss. Don't miss it, it's not good! I'm just not gonna be long, at least half a day." Babe Dante.

"Obviously kangen is not delicious, there is no sweetness as well. There go quickly! Actually up to half a day do not you overtime five days instead. " Seloroh Rico replied.

"Isy.., sadistic." grumbled Dante as he passed away.

"Let's get Ikhsan. "

Rico turned his head again and invited Ikhsan back to walk until he reached the place where Rico was headed. Not too far from the place just a moment they have arrived at a place that is slightly closed from the visitors.

But before getting there Rico first ordered a drink to his employees who passed him so he did not have to scream anymore.

"Please sit down, sir."

Ikhsan first sat down and was followed by Rico in the front seat until they faced each other and were stuck with a square-shaped table.

Ikhsan's eyes continued to explore every corner that could be reached by his eyes, although the place was not too wide but felt very comfortable, and Ikhsan was very acknowledging the greatness of his owner.

"This is your resto, Ric? "

Ikhsan asked but his eyes were still glaring far away until the corners of the Resto.

"Yes. Just a little resto, sir."

"But it's very convenient, you're smart. " Praise Ikhsan.

"Thank you, sir." Bigheaded but Rico felt very flattered by the praise from Ikhsan just now, a moment could slightly erase the anxiety that was in his heart.

One employee came up with a tray containing him a cup containing a special coffee from Resto Rico, the employee immediately put in front of the two.

"Please, sir" said the young employee.

"Please Mr. Ikhsan, drink his coffee." Pinta Rico's. The employee has already stepped away.

"Hem.., thank you Rico. " Ikhsan immediately raised the glass and began to enjoy the mainstay coffee at the Resto which was built by Rico.

After a few sips Ikhsan put the cup back to its original place. "Ric, why are you stopping me from telling you the truth, what are you afraid of? "

"none. "

"There can't be nothing, Rico. Tell me, "Ikhsan said.

"I'm just afraid that they all don't believe me, Mr. Ikhsan. Mr. Ikhsan will know for himself how Om Rayyan, will he just believe? No sir, Rayyan's om won't be that easy to believe." Answer Rico.

"You won't give up after this, will you?! I hope you will still fight for Aisyah, right? " Tanya Ikhsan was so hopeful.

"I'll fight, sir. But if Allah does not want it, I can only hope that Aisha will be happy with whomever she chooses. " Answer Rico.

"Hopefully you succeed."

"I don't want to get married because I'm in love, sir. Not because of property, let alone married because of pity. But, I want to marry her because I believe with her I will be able to reach heaven, that's all that matters to me, sir." Bright Rico.

Ikhsan's heart felt touched, it turns out that the child in front of him has such mature thoughts, even when Ikhsan feels at his age he only thinks of getting married because he is in love, but Rico? The goal is heaven.

"You are right. "

"But the thing is now, I'm like a beggar. I am like a beggar who only expects mercy to be able to get blessing, if I manage to realize what Om Rayyan asks, is not the same as we are married only for property, but only for property, isn't that like a deal? Is it not marriage that expects heaven in the future? "

Sadly Rico said that, his heart ached because his love was like a deal. That's not what Rico wanted. Rico wanted to marry Aisyah not because of anything, he was so sincere.

"I'm sorry on behalf of my papa, Ric. I'm so sorry about all this, I never thought that papa would be like this. Hem...., continue, what will you do after this? "

"I will keep fighting as hard as I can, sir. But I cannot guarantee the end result. "

"Well, why? Or..., look at it, you I'll lend you money, to buy a decent house. You can think of it as debt. "

"Thank you for the offer, Mr. Ikhsan. But I don't think it's necessary, let me fight in my own way, although it won't be easy but I will keep trying. "

Ikhsan smiled proudly with the diligence of Rico, he would be very happy if Rico and Aisyah could unite, because Ikhsan believes Rico is able to be happy and lead Aisyah also to be better.

"I believe you, you can. If you need help don't hesitate to ask for help, I will always be there for you. " Ikhsan said.

"Thank you, sir. "

"Hmmm.. "
