Between Love and Religion

chapter 36 Fret

the news and decisions conveyed by papa jooan that is none other than papa aera may have been a unanimous decision, aera had negotiated with his papa but his papa remained in his stance if he really wanted aera to be engaged to Gus faizar.

Feelings of sadness, anxiety, confusion, mixed in his feelings.

currently Aera is calming herself at her Rooftop home alone, accompanied by some chocolate and also her favorite banana milk.

it was dark precisely at 8 pm usually aera was watching her favorite drama but not with that night, aera looks confused, restless, and also a little sad.

"Ehem" the voice of a man

the sound surprised Aera

"why?" aera turned to the source of the voice, which turned out to be Gus Faizar

" Can I talk Ra?" ask Gus faizar

" Yes" answered aera briefly

" Can you come down for a minute from up there ? it will be dangerous if you continue to be there" Faizar said

at that time, Aera was sitting on the wall that led to the street

" if you want to talk yes talk, do not need a lot of chatter" said aera ketus

" Ra.I know you're upset by Mr. Jooan's decision, but please listen to me! and get off for a second "his pinta

" ck really complicated, yes yes I went down" said Aera

" Want help?" ask faizar

" No need I can myself "said aera while jumping down (teras Rooftop)

" What do you want to talk about?" ask aera

" Sit for a while" said Faizar and followed by aera

" What?" Ask aera

" Previously I'm sorry Ra, this decision is also not me who asked him, Mr. Joan who asked me to ask you " explained faizar

" Yes.i know " Ketus aera.

" I know you're close to a guy on campus" Faizar said

" do you know where Lo is?" aera was surprised

" When Valero and I went to your college, I saw your interaction with a man and I clearly saw from the man's eyes that he liked you "

" Trus Lo wants to tell papa?" ask aera

" no aera, listen to me! do not habitually cut people's conversation" Faizar said

"yes yes sorry"

" I don't want to force you to accept me, I just follow and obey the requests of people who contribute in my life, I know you don't like me Ra, I know you don't like me, But you have the right to choose who is worthy of you, if you really want to reject me say that I am steady on my day not to put too much effort into showing my feelings " clearly the faizar was heard carefully by Aera

aera was silent I heard Faizar's explanation, the atmosphere was immediately silent without any conversation between them but suddenly aera spoke again

" Gus, can Aera ask? " ask aera

" why gus accepted papa's request to marry Aera" asked Gus faizar

" there's nothing special, but I just want to keep you "

" Aera can tell Gus? ask aera who is haizar

" the guy that Gus was referring to was Kenzo, he was a close friend of Aera, we liked each other but aera didn't want to date him, Kenzo always needs aera because when his grandmother died only aera can calm him, at this time Kenzo also often go to a psychiatrist for mental therapy, Kenzo is different from us Gus" explained Aera

" is that different?" ask faizar

" Kenzo and his family were born a Christian Catholic "clearly aera

" meaning we are with him the same Ra, only the god he is different "clear faizar who is a little surprised

" yes gus, and his family also when obeying in his religion, until the day the departure of Kenzo aera's grandmother came to worship, he said, but the whole Kenzo family, especially his papa, it's like he doesn't like Aera, but Kenzo's mom is very good, she doesn't show any difference, her tolerance is very good, Gus, But it's also what makes aera unable to choose to continue the aera's relationship with more on Kenzo's "clear aera

" Hmm I understand what you mean Ra, I see you seem to like Kenzo too, perhaps only hindered by differences in beliefs that are difficult to break down" Faizar said

"hmm" aera simply fell silent

" I leave that decision to you Ra, you know what's best for you, you're mature enough now, if you accept me, you accept me, I wouldn't forbid if you're still on good terms with Kenzo as long as it's in fair words and you still respect me, but if you want to reject me please tell me that I am the one who retreats without you having to throw him out" Faizar explained giving understanding to aera

" Aera needs Gus time "pinta aera

" Okay, please.I will always wait for you, then I go down and wait under " said Faizar who is aera.

" Oh yes you can pray istikharah first, I wait 3 more days" explained faizar

aera already felt calmer when she told him about her relationship with Kenzo on the faizar, and feel calmer also because Faizar responds well and tries to give aera understanding to make good decisions for aera.

not long after aera came down from Rooftop to his room, and Valero was in the aera room waiting for the arrival of aera

" What is this brother doing here?" ask aera

" Wait for you, where are you from?" ask val

" from Rooftop" he explained

"oohhh, how? do you know what your decision is?" ask val

" hmmm not yet brother, I will pray istikharah first to ask for an opinion from Allah" he explained

" nahh pinter! and Allah is in all your decisions Ra, God willing, God's choice is best for you" Val explained

" yes, brother, if so I want ablution first yes" he said

" okay okay if that brother to the room deh brother" said val who was taken by aera

And in that night aera will pray istikharah to ask for help advice from Allah

what is the best decision for Aera?
