HAPPY READING
💚💚💚💚💚
The two eyes stared at each other intently and longingly. Unexpected miss, because it will end in disappointment. Why meet at a time like this. Why should I feel guilty here inner Holy raging. His heart was broken, seeing Fathan in front of his eyes. Saints immediately turned their eyes to not look at Fathan. However, Suci is already married is not good to look at the opposite sex with a longing gaze.
True said Umi, Suci more beautiful emigrated, hijab and berniqab. Perfect. Can I still look into her beautiful eyes. I can't have it but I want to be friends with him, Is that wrong?, Fathan said.
"Holy go back first to make drinks" said Suci slowly.
"Dear, thank you" said mama Larasati.
"Khadijah how are you, we have met for a long time. It's been 15 years ago, you're getting beautiful Khadijah." mama Larasati said sincerely.
"Larasati, you don't change always demeaning yourself. You are the most beautiful, all men love you. Just don't let my husband love you" Khadijah said with a smile.
It was like a knife pierced right into the heart of Larasati. His heart stopped hearing Khadijah's words. But quickly Larasati neutralized her heartbeats and behaved naturally.
"You're just Khadijah, this is your firstborn, right? what's your name, son? mom forgot?" larasati.
"Yes Laras we're just the two of us. This is my eldest Fathan, Fatima's second, there was a need to be out. Abi Fathan was busy Laras" Khadijah explained.
"Diminum umi, mas Fathan, sorry there's only this" said Suci turned back to the kitchen.
"Holy accompany mama here, you already know Fathan." asked mama Larasati.
"Iya ma knows, mas Fathan the chairman of IRMA, once Suci had been active in social activities" said Suci with his head lowered. His eyes did not want to look at Fathan. There was a sense of guilt enveloping him that had reneged on his own promise.
"Holy, this is the tea umi drink yes, ayok Fathan drink, do not bengong aja see Suci" said Umi Khadijah chuckled.
Fathan, who was aware of Umi's words, turned his head and looked at Umi's eyes. Umi simply blinked her eyes, smiling.
"What exactly is it, why I became curious" said mama Larasati asked for an explanation.
"Nothing what ma." said Holy steady.
"Last night we both went to Atmojo's mother's house, and I proposed Suci to Fathan. Fathan is a big fan of Saints, especially now Saints have migrated. Which mother does not want Saints to be her daughter-in-law. It is indeed Holy. But said Mother Atmojo Suci is married, we here want to congratulate the Holy Wedding. This is a little gift from Fathan, please accept." said Umi Khadijah softly.
"Really Khadijah, I'm sorry Khadijah, Suci is already married to Zhein" said Larasati slowly.
"Holy go in, it is not good for a wife to talk to someone who is not her mahram. Bring in the gift, the gift should be appreciated open with Zhein later so that there is no misunderstanding." said the mother firmly.
Mother had indeed heard their conversation. Saints had told me about Fathan before. So mother Jihan can draw conclusions.
Fathan who heard the words of the Holy in-laws gave a rude snort. His heart that had begun to calm by seeing the girl he loved in front of him began to fade because of the arrival of the mother of Jihan in-laws of the Holy.
Holy according to what Mother Jihan said. His heart was already uncomfortable from earlier, because it appreciated mama so Suci still sat near mama Larasati with a down. The saint stood up and began to step inside.
"Holy.why do you have to do this to me, don't you have a little heart to appreciate me as a man. One year I waited for you, I waited for you to get guidance from Allah SWT. You promised, but you denied it. I came to Indonesia just wanted to propose to you, but it turns out you already belong to someone else. I have the right to take that promise to you" Fathan said loudly. He was already not ashamed of mama Larasati even with the Holy in-laws. Fathan seeks justice. Fathan has not been able to accept this harsh reality, for him this is all nonsense.
Still with his back to the Holy also answered all Fathan's questions.
"I'm sorry Fathan. It's all fate. Destiny brought me to this house, meeting Jihan's mother and Zhein's mother who is now my husband. This fate brought me to realize my desire to become a Muslim. The process of my struggle is not easy, Fathan, there are all sacrifices and you never know how I go through the process of guidance. There's only Jihan's mother and Zhein's mas who always support me. Those who were there when I was down. My love grew for Mad Zhein because his sincerity and patience helped me to emigrate. What's wrong if I also love Zhein mas which is obviously real there when I need someone to lean on. He's a good man, a religious man, from a good family, there's not the slightest flaw for me to reject the proposal. RIGHT NOW AND FOREVER I LOVE MY HUSBAND ZHEIN. I thought you were a good person and could lead me, but you left me to work on my own. Forgive me, Lord Fathan, forget the promise." said Suci steadily.
"I'm sorry Holy, I was wrong, I should have helped you, I was scared that time because we were different. I've never loved a woman. And you're the first woman I ever loved, but it turns out we're different. I'm a fool, I should have sacrificed for you." said Fathan with teary eyes.
The saint went straight inside, his heart also hurt. But he also became hateful, as if I were guilty. You don't know how I fought Fathan. And I cannot betray the holy love of Zhein.
Mother Jihan and Larasati just looked at each other. As if all were answered, how their past. But back to the destiny of Allah SWT. We have to live it.
"I'm sorry my son Khadijah, Suci explained. I can't do anything." said Larasati slowly.
"Son Fathan, you are sure you will get a better soul mate than Saints. Kowtow, Son, beg for forgiveness and ask Allah SWT a soul mate who is your destiny later." said Mother Fathan softly.
"I'm sorry, Mother, my love for the Saints is so deep that I find it hard to accept my destiny. It's hard to wait a year just to be disappointed" said Fathan Lirih.
"Pardon our arrival, even make trouble like this, we just want to keep the friendship of Jihan and Larasati's mother. Even though we are like this, we are still Muslim brothers. We say goodbye first. Come on, Fathan, we're home. Assalamualaikum." said Umi Khadijah.
"Waalaikumsalam.." said mama Larasati and mother Jihan together.
