CAKA (Love Me Because of God)

Chapter 10 (Please pray before you pray)

Jefri was confused to answer Nayla's question as to what, because all this time he was far from God, let alone to pray, even Jefri did not know how.

"A_I'm a little bad again," said Jefri looking for an excuse.

"Mas, prayer is an obligation for Muslims, so we should not say that, because the first practice that will be asked in the afterlife is Prayer. So, as long as there is time to pray before being prayed," said Nayla.

"What do you mean, I don't understand?" jefri asked with a scratch on his head that did not itch.

"Nayla means that we must pray before we die, because after we die, we will be led astray," explained Andri, because all this time Andri always took time to attend the recitation events, although both of Andri's parents are also far from God, but Nayla always reminds Andri so now Andri turned into a better person again.

"It seems that since meeting with Nayla, you have changed Dri, when you used to rarely pray" Jefri said.

"Thank God, it's all thanks to Nayla because when we were together, Nayla always reminded me of the path of truth" Andri said with a wry smile, because at this time Nayla would not be able to pay any more attention to him.

"It's not all because of Nayla, but because Mas Andri already got guidance. May Allah SWT soon open the door of guidance also for Mas Jefri, because a Husband must be a priest for his family," said Nayla then kissed the back of Jefri's hand and said Salam before leaving for Mushala.

Jefri was stunned to hear Nayla's words, he felt ashamed because he could not be a good priest for his wife.

"Nayla is special, sister, so Andri will never be able to forget Nayla."

"Yes, Nayla is very special, so don't expect me to let go for you, even if you are my sister" Jefri said.

"What if I decide to try to take Nayla again from Brother Jefri?"

"Are you going to accept Nayla if she's not holy anymore?" asked Jefri who was curious about Andri's answer.

"For me Nayla will remain holy, because I love her for God's sake, and I always hope that Nayla will be my soul mate" Andri replied.

Jefri didn't know what else to say, because love couldn't possibly be forced.

It turns out that Andri's love for Nayla is so great, that Andri is willing to accept Nayla as she is. Do I also have to change into a better person so that Nayla can love me, Jefri said in his heart.

......................

After Nayla performed Maghrib Prayers, Nayla bought food for Jefri and herself, because Andri had eaten food given by the Hospital, so Nayla bought fruit only for Andri.

Nayla knocks on the door, then says Greetings before entering, but at this time Jefri pretends to be asleep, because she wants to know what Nayla will do to Andri when she falls asleep.

"Nay, I want to talk to you" Andri told Nayla, as Nayla was sitting next to Jefri.

"What does Andri want to say?" asked Nayla with a face that was always bowed.

"Why don't you want to see my face? don't you miss me?" ask Andri.

"Right now I am a wife who must always keep her eyes on a man who is not my muhrim Mas."

"Is it that easy for you to forget me after two years of our relationship?" ask Andri again.

"Lied if I had forgotten Mas Andri, because all that would be very difficult for me to do, but anyway I have to try, because at this time our status is different. So, I hope Mas Andri can forget about me too, because maybe this is the best for us" said Nayla.

"Your name will always be in Nayla's heart, and I won't be able to forget you."

"There is no better woman in the world than you Nay" Andri said, and Nayla kept quiet without saying anything else, because Nayla thinks that this time Andri needs time to forget her, until finally Nayla remembers the rice she bought for herself and Jefri.

"Mas Jefri, wake up Mas, he said hungry, why did Mas Jefri even sleep?" nayla said by shaking Jefri's body.

"Have you gone home to Nay?" jefri asked, pretending to rub his eyes.

"Yes, then we eat first," said Nayla by opening the rice pack she bought.

"Kok you buy the side dish of Andri's favorite food anyway?" ask Jefri who saw if the side dish is rendang.

"Sorry Mas, Nayla does not know Mas Jefri's favorite food," said Nayla with a sigh.

Andri had thought that Jefri would be angry with Nayla, because usually Jefri would be angry if someone made a mistake.

"Sister, the food is for Andri only, later let Andri tell OB to buy more food for Kak Jefri."

"Just want to eat the food my wife bought. Let's eat Nay, even if I don't like the side dish, but whatever you buy, I'll eat it, for sure" Jefri said, then eat it voraciously.

"Mas, if Mas Jefri doesn't like it, let Nayla buy him a new one."

"Nay, if Brother Jefri does not like it, let me eat the food" said Andri.

"Mas Andri eats only fruits, yes" said Nayla by keeping the fruits she bought next to Andri.

"I told you I would eat whatever my wife bought me. What if you feed me, people say food will taste good when fed by others" Jefri said.

Nayla is unlikely to reject her husband's wishes, and Nayla finally feeds Jefri.

"Sister Jefri is not sick, why would you want to be fed everything" protested Andri.

"Nayla just does not protest, why are you the sewot," said Jefri.

Nayla let out a long sigh as Jefri and Andri continued to argue.

"If you're still arguing, I'd better go home" Nayla said, until Andri and Jefri were silent for fear that Nayla would leave them.

"Yes, then I eat alone" said Jefri by taking his rice pack from Nayla's hand.

After he finished eating, Jefri was about to lay his head on Nayla's thigh.

"Mas, if you have eaten it do not fall asleep first, at least thirty minutes, so that the food can be digested by the stomach," said Nayla, and Jefri also returned to sitting.

"Sister Jefri is very obedient to Nayla, surely Brother Jefri is afraid that Nayla until I take it right?" andri.

"Please try to take Nayla, because I'm sure Nayla won't betray me, despite the fact that there is still love in her heart for you" Jefri said.

"Well, from now on I'll go back to taking what should be mine" Andri said.
