First Drop of Vienna Water Wudhu

The spiritual journey of Vienna, Ali, Lisa, and Budi

The spiritual journey of Vienna, Ali, Lisa, and Budi continues, and this time they are faced with a test involving their own families. Although they have grown deeper in their faith, their families do not necessarily fully understand or support this change.

Vienna returned home to gather with her family during the holidays. He was happy to be with his loved ones, but also nervous about wanting to talk to them about his spiritual journey. Vienna knew that her parents had a different religious understanding, and she was worried that it would make them worried or even angry.

When she finally tried to talk about her changes in her life with her parents, their reactions were very mixed. Her mother was delighted to see Vienna more deeply in her faith, while her father was concerned that these changes would affect her future.

"I just want you to be happy, son," the Viennese father said anxiously. "But I'm also worried about what you're sacrificing by living such a different lifestyle."

Vienna tried to explain that her faith had brought her true peace and meaning to life, but her father remained worried. They had a long debate about religion, but no agreement was reached in the end. This left Vienna feeling mixed, happy that her mother supported her and bewildered by her father's disapproval.

Meanwhile, Ali is also in conflict with his family. She has become more religious during her spiritual journey, and this has made her more conservative in dressing and behaving. His family who were used to the freer Ali felt perplexed by this change.

"I'm just trying to be better in my religion" Ali told his sister, who asked why he was dressed more in private. "But doesn't God accept us for who we are?"

Although Ali tries to explain his good intentions, conflicts with his family remain. The two of them must struggle to reach an understanding of each other and appreciate the changes that have taken place in Ali's life.

Lisa and Budi also face similar challenges. Lisa, previously always known as an avid student, is now regarded by her siblings as "too serious." They miss Lisa's old cheerfulness and cuteness.

Budi, who had always been a humorous and cheerful friend, got a lot of questions from his friends about his "serious" change in religion. Some of them even tried to make fun of him, which made Budi feel offended.

Although they all faced conflict and disapproval from their family and friends, they stuck to their faith. Their spiritual journey has transformed them into better individuals, and they feel that this is the right step in their lives. They hope that one day their family and friends will be able to fully understand and support them.

In addition to facing conflict within their families, Vienna, Ali, Lisa, and Budi also experience a test in their friendship. As their spiritual journey progresses, differences in life values and priorities begin to emerge between them and their old friends.

One day, they all gather at their favorite campus tavern. They sat at the same table as usual, but their conversation was no longer what it used to be. Their friends from college talk about vacation itineraries to the beach loaded with booze and all-night parties. This is a very different lifestyle from what they experienced during their spiritual journey.

Their friends tried to convince them to join. "You have to have fun now, life is short!" said one of their friends.

However, Vienna, Ali, Lisa, and Budi felt that they had found a deeper happiness in their faith. They know that feasts and booze only provide temporary happiness, while their spiritual journey gives a deeper meaning to life. This creates tension in their friendship.

At home, Lisa also faces conflict with her sidekick, Maya. Maya has always been Lisa's closest friend, but ever since Lisa began her spiritual journey, Maya feels like they no longer have much in common.

"You've always been serious now, Lisa," Maya said in a disappointed tone. "We used to have fun together, but now you're like everyone else."

Ali also had a conflict with his friends who had always invited him to rock concerts. They could not understand why Ali was no longer interested in that lifestyle. Ali found it difficult to explain that her life priorities had changed, and she now prefers to spend time on activities that support her spiritual growth.

Budi, who had always been a joker and a cheerful friend in his group of friends, found it difficult to find closeness with them. They often take her to parties and make fun of her when she refuses. You feel isolated and lonely in this situation.

Although all these conflicts make them feel sad and lonely, Vienna, Ali, Lisa, and Budi stick to their values and priorities. They feel that their spiritual journey is the right thing, and despite the rift in their friendship, they are convinced that time will show what is true and what is not.

On a quiet night, Vienna, Ali, Lisa, and Budi gather at the Viennese house. They sat around the dining table, their faces filled with doubt and uncertainty about the direction they should take on their spiritual journey.

"Vienna, Ali, Lisa, Budi, are we really doing the right thing with this change in our lives?" ask Lisa in doubt.

Lisa's question sparked a long debate between them. Each of them tried to express their views and share any doubts they had. They feel a dilemma between the life they are living now that is full of meaning and peace, and the lifestyle they used to know that feels easier and more enjoyable.

"We can change and grow spiritually without leaving our friends" Ali said, trying to find a middle solution.

Vienna nodded in agreement, but she also felt that some of their old friends had brought a negative influence on them in the past. He was worried that if they got too close to those people, they would be tempted to go back on their old habits.

Lisa expressed her biggest doubt. "What if this is only a temporary phase? What if we soon get tired of this life and want to go back to the old ways?"

Budi, who is usually the most cheerful among them, feels distressed by these doubts and uncertainties. "I miss the way we used to have fun. This is all too serious now."

Vienna, as the group's spiritual leader, tried to give a more in-depth look. "We have found peace in our faith, and we have become better people because of it. But we also have to remember that this change is our choice. We can't force others to follow the same path."

They all fell silent for a moment, pondering over Vienna's words. Perhaps the most important thing is that they understand that this spiritual journey is a choice they make, and they must live the consequences.

Ali, as most likely to seek a middle solution, eventually proposes, "Maybe we can figure out a way to stay with our old friends without having to be swayed by their lifestyle. We can still support them without having to follow them in things that we know are not good for us."

Lisa, Budi, and Vienna contemplated Ali's suggestion, and they felt it was a reasonable solution. They know that they will face many conflicts in their spiritual journey, but one thing they believe in is that they will always support each other, even in this moment of uncertainty.

With a renewed determination to stay true to their spiritual values and principles, they decided to open up to the possibility of living a balanced life between spiritual growth and keeping their friendship. Although there were still doubts, they knew that this journey was an inseparable part of their lives.
