First Drop of Vienna Water Wudhu

Old Temptations

The full moon illuminates the desolate streets. Vienna walked alone, her steps steady and delicate prayers flashed across her lips. He had just left the mosque after performing Isha prayers. His green cloth waved softly in the light breeze of the night, and his face emitted a serenity. However, in the silence of the night, his mood was far from calm.

In the distance, a flash of neon light and music pounding filled the air. It was a big evening party held by his old friends, friends who were still stuck in the circle of mundane lifestyles. They felt confused and did not understand the profound changes that Vienna had undergone. They felt they had to take him back to the path they had once taken together.

"Hey, Vienna!" shouted one of his old friends, Kevin, as he flashed a mischievous smile as Vienna walked past the nightclub. "Why don't you join us? Tonight will be great!"

Vienna halted his steps and looked towards the glowing club. He knew that the offer was full of temptation, and his decision to refuse had to remain steadfast. "Thank you, Kevin, but I have to refuse. I have principles I must defend."

Kevin just shook his head and replied in a low tone, "You changed, Vienna. You're not like you used to be."

Vienna did not respond and continued on towards her home, leaving Kevin and his old friends behind. But the temptation does not just stop.

When he almost reached his house, a luxurious car stopped beside him. The window came down, and the soft voice of one of his old friends, Lisa, was heard. "Vienna, wait a minute. We just want to talk."

Vienna thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. She approaches Lisa's car, and the car door is opened for her. She sat in the passenger seat, and Lisa began to speak carefully, "You know, Vienna, we miss you. We feel like you've left us."

Vienna looked at Lisa firmly. "I've never left you. I just choose to live my life according to my religious values now."

Lisa smiled and replied, "But, Vienna, look around us. This party is so fun. We can go back to how we used to be, like family."

Vienna bit her lip, feeling seduced by Lisa's seduction. However, he remembered a message from his religious teacher that always reminded him to maintain his integrity. "I thank you for the invitation, Lisa, but I have to go."

Lisa sighed and escorted Vienna back to her front street. "You've always been different now, Vienna. You are no longer a part of us."

Vienna leaves the car and sees Lisa still sitting in it. He felt a void in his heart, but he knew that maintaining his principles was the most important. With steady steps, he walked into the house, relieved to have overcome the old temptations that approached him.

The meeting of the two of them was held in a small cafe hidden in a corner of the city. Lisa had invited Vienna to meet, and the atmosphere of the cafe was quiet and cozy. Soft chandelier light provides a dim glow, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. Vienna sat in one of the soft corners of the table, waiting with anxious feelings.

Not long after, the cafe door opened and Lisa walked in with a sweet smile on her face. She was wearing fashionable and luxurious clothes, very different from the simple fashion that Vienna used to wear. Lisa approached the table with a gurgling step and sat down in front of Vienna. "Hi, Vienna," he said kindly.

Vienna smiled gently, but her facial expression showed the firmness of her heart. "Hi, Lisa."

They sat quietly for a moment, trying to evaluate each other's feelings. The quiet atmosphere of the cafe is only interrupted by the sound of customers talking quietly and the coffee machine pounding behind the counter.

Lisa finally broke the silence. "Vienna, you know I miss you so much, right? I feel like we've lost something so special in our friendship."

Vienna nodded, but her eyes remained focused on Lisa. She knows that Lisa is a friend who was once very close to her, and she feels sad over the change in their relationship. However, he also knew that he had to maintain his integrity.

Lisa continued, "You remember how we came together to pursue the pleasures of the world? That's so fun, Vienna. We can go back to being what we used to be, filling our lives with happiness and joy."

Vienna felt the temptation was getting stronger, but she did not want to shake the principle. He looked at Lisa with decision. "Lisa, I appreciate our past together. But I have found a way of life that gives meaning to me. I no longer seek the pleasures of a pseudo world."

Vienna was sad to hear that. "I'm still the same, Lisa. It's just that I value religious values more and the values that really matter in life."

Lisa squinted her eyes and said in a mocking tone, "Are you feeling happier now? Is your life better?"

Vienna replied firmly, "I feel more at peace. I know the direction of my life now, and it gives me real happiness."

Lisa sighed and then changed her tone. "Lady, do you feel lonely? Do you feel alienated? We are your friends, and we miss you."

Vienna was struck by those questions. He felt a dilemma, but he knew he had to stay strong in his beliefs. "I'm not lonely, Lisa. I have friends who support my change. And I feel closer to God than ever before."

Lisa responds with an expression that looks a mixture of frustration and disappointment. "Alright, Vienna. Well then, I just want you to know that the door is always open if you want to come back."

Vienna nodded, feeling heavy-hearted for ruining their old relationship. "Thank you, Lisa. I will always cherish our memories together."

After that difficult encounter, Vienna left the cafe with mixed feelings in her heart. She knows that she has kept her principles in mind, but she also feels sad over the change in relationship with Lisa. The calm atmosphere of the night seemed to depict the silence in his turbulent heart.

That night, Vienna sat in her bedroom, thinking about the offer she had just received from old friends. They invited him to a popular nightclub, promising that he would only come for a short while and would not do anything that violated his religious teachings. The temptation was very strong, and his mind was turbulent.

He decided to accept the invitation, but on one condition that his friends must admit: they must not force him to drink alcohol or do things that are contrary to the principles of his religion. Vienna was confident that he could keep his morals even in the midst of temptation.

When Vienna arrives at the glittering nightclub, her friends welcome her cheerfully. They serve soft drinks and try to make the atmosphere as if nothing has changed in the past. Vienna was tempted by the music and laughter of her friends.

Kevin, one of Vienna's old friends, approached her and said with a smile, "You know, Vienna, we really miss you. It's going to be a great night!"

Vienna smiled and replied, "Thank you, Kevin. I'm glad to be reunited with you guys."

That night, Vienna tried to stay focused on its principles. He enjoys talking and laughing with his friends without drinking alcohol. However, the temptation comes when some of them try to convince him to taste alcoholic beverages.

Lisa, who had spoken to Vienna before, tried to convince him, "Vienna, try it, it's only once. It won't ruin you."

Vienna refused sternly, "I'm sorry, Lisa, but I can't do it. I'll keep drinking non-alcoholic beverages."

Lisa sighed and nodded in understanding. "All right, we're not gonna force you. But at least try to have fun."

Vienna felt pressure from her friends who wanted to involve her in the drink and the wild atmosphere. He felt alienated among them, but he stuck to his principles. He felt that this was a test of his loyalty to his religious values.

The night went on, and although the temptation was strong, Vienna managed to keep its morals. He enjoys music and laughter with his friends, but he does not engage in behavior that goes against his principles.

When they finally left the nightclub and Vienna returned home, he felt relieved and proud of his ability to remain true to his beliefs. He knew that this was only one of the many trials he would face in his spiritual journey, but he felt increasingly strong and steadfast in his faith and principles. The calm night atmosphere around him reflected the peace he felt in his heart after passing this test of loyalty.
