..."Love is a sense without reason. The most beautiful gift that is priceless. Honesty the foundation of the strong bond of love. Patience is the best way to understand the meaning of love. Faithfulness a sacred promise of maintaining love. Jealousy becomes a sweetener when the bittersweet love sticks out. Betrayal is the toughest test of wading through love. Sincerity becomes a way of uniting differences. A holy love becomes a strong foundation of a marriage. But only determination becomes the peak of understanding of love. He believes he is the best of the good. He is the most beautiful of the beautiful. Because a thought, able to make the heart survive on the weak foundation of love. We will never see the advantages of anyone other than our spouse. Accepting the complexity and bitterness of a relationship, with a firmness that we will surely be happy. Love is not always beautiful, but in love there is a priceless beauty."...

The night sky looks so bright. The moonlight makes the night sky beautiful full of light. The clouds look real, the stars shine beautifully perfecting the beauty of the night. Accompanying the moon greet the inhabitants of the earth. Reaching the beautiful that can never be matched.
Hanna stood looking at the clear night sky. The light the moon emits. Real light makes the sky so beautiful. Removing the dark and desolate on the face of the sky. As if to tell the world. The sky will always be cheerful, there will never be sorrow on the face of the sky.
"Why stand alone under the sky?"
"Beautiful!"
"As beautiful as a colorful life, tears and laughter become solace. The colors that make our day full of beauty!"
"Mama's right!" Hanna said softly, Tika smiled behind her veil.
He smiled towards Hanna who was staring at the fixed sky. It was as if Hanna wanted to reach for the sky, plucking the moon with her hands. To make his life more colorful.
"Why are you looking at the sky so hard? Though as hard as you can look at him. Langi will be there. Far from your achievements, but very close when you know him!" Tika said, Hanna nodded slowly. Justifying the words of Tika which are full of meaning.
"Because the sky holds the answer of my restless heart!"
"What else is it? You quarrel with Hafidz or there begins to be a doubt in your heart to marry Hafidz!" Tika said softly, Hanna shook her head not to agree. He never thought that far. But deep in Hanna's heart, there was one doubt that started to annoy her. There may be doubts that may not be appropriate.
"Why is there any doubt? When trust was just created?"
"What's Hanna?"
"I'm starting to get scared going through this marriage. Hafidz's past relationship with Aura's sister. Makes me feel low!"
"But you know, Hafidz has forgotten Aura. It's not appropriate for you to think like that anyway. Aura is no one else, she's your sister's wife. I don't know who made you believe that fact? One thing is for sure, he just wants to make you hate people who love you. One of them is Aura, the older sister you care about!" Tika said softly and warmly, Hanna lowered her head weakly. He began to realize his thinking was wrong. Hanna was incited by untrue thoughts.
"Trust Hanna, there is no connection of Aura with Hafidz. He's your brother-in-law is not your enemy. Brother believes that, since abi himself convinced brother!" Arkan said, Hanna and Tika looked surprised. Arkan walked slowly towards Hanna and Tika.
"Sorry!"
"Hanna, it's not just you who hesitates to marry the likes of Hafidz and Aura. My sister also thought that way. But that night, all doubts were gone. When Abi Salim handed over his daughter to me!" Arkan said sternly, Hanna looked at Arkan full of regret. Hanna accidentally hurts her sister.
"One more time, I'm sorry!" Hanna said softly, Arkan silently looked at the sky that looked so bright.
FLASHBACKS
"Arkan, you left and I did not prevent it. You left without asking or hearing my opinion. Today I want you to leave, but after you answer all my questions. I want to know the reality that is stored in your mind!" abi Salim said firmly and coldly, Arkan shook his head weakly.
The sound of Abi Salim's long breath. The breath seemed heavy considering the age of Abi Salim who was no longer young. The silence of the night felt real, only the cold felt piercing Arkan's bones.
"Abi, what does Abi really want to say? I do know Hafidz. As far as I know him, he's a good young man. So what does this have to do with me? I've only ever known him, but I'm not that close to being worthy of an opinion!" arkan said, Abi Salim was silent.
Hafidz Arif Shaleh the youngest son of a distinguished family. One of the students in the boarding school who graduated two years ago. If Arkan gets out of the pesantren, before he finishes his education. Instead, Hafidz left the pesantren, to pursue a deeper religious education. Hafidz is a messenger of the Qur'an like Aura. Arkan knew him once, because both were once one room.
"It's no good Hafidz, for my daughter's Aura. So he refused this match. Who do you think would be a better candidate than Hafidz? The man who made Aura think, he deserves to be the priest of his afterlife!" abi Salim said coldly, as Arkan looked up at Abi Salim. His surprise was clearly visible from both of his eyes.
"If Abi has chosen Hafidz, of course he is the best man for Aura. I don't know a man better than him!" arkan said firmly, looking down. Abi Salim looked at Arkan who remained calm. There was no jealousy or anger in Arkan's eyes. A calmness that holds millions of thoughts.
"If he is the best. Why did Aura refuse him? Aura said there was another man who pulled her heart. Someone I don't think is appropriate to accompany Aura!" abi said coldly, Arkan lowered his head.
"Because sister Aura deserves to be happy. Sis Aura deserves to choose whom she depends on? But still with your blessing. I'm sorry Abi Salim; I didn't mean to advise Abi. Namub, it would be nice if you let Brother Aura know brother Hafidz. While Abi knows the man who makes Aura's sister captivated. So that Abi and Aura's relationship will still improve. Listening is not a bad thing. At least Abi can see the other side of Aura's choice!" arkan lirih.
"If it was you, which side would you like to show me?" sahut Abi Salim, Arkan shook his head in disbelief.
"Remain Abi, I'm not that man!" arkan said firmly.
"You asked me to listen, when I did. Why don't you even believe it?"
"For I do not deserve to be the priest of Aura. The knowledge he has, it's too heavy I bear. My shoulders are too fragile to sustain his knowledge. My hands and feet are too weak, in order to hold and step together with Aura's feet!" sahut Arkan's.
"You rejected Aura?" abi Salim said short and cold.
"I questioned him, so I refused. I don't feel worthy to be his priest. I was afraid I would just hurt him. Sister Aura is a good woman and deserves the best. Not a dark-hearted man like me!" said Arkan again.
"Abi, it's hypocritical if I'm not interested in Brother Aura. His good man will be able to be a good wife and mother. My heart is still filled with fear. That's why I don't want to hope for more. If it's gonna make her cry!"
"You are the best priest!" abi Salim said, patting Arkan's shoulder gently.
"I mean Abi?"
"It's not science or treasure that will make my daughter happy. Your understanding and sense of care for his future will make him happy. I don't need a daughter-in-law who is highly skilled or of great wealth. I need a heart that understands my daughter's tears and smile. Meet Aura with courage. Like you asked him to dare to meet me. Decide the best among you. I will fully support your decision!"
FLASHBACK OFF
"Now tell brother, should your sense of doubt exist to destroy the good relationship between us!" Said Arkan shortly after recounting his meeting with Abi Salim.
"I'm sorry Hanna, it's inappropriate for Hanna to be inappropriate!" Hanna said softly, Arkan nodded slowly to understand it.
"You twin brothers who won't be easily separated. Especially with cheap incitement!" Tika said while hugging her two hearts.
