FOREIGN DESIRANT

Episode 8 of Rehan

As hard as Kirana's heart held back her tears but still the clear twirls were getting unstoppable. Kirana was disappointed, sad, sorry not because of Rehan's attitude. It's not because Alif saw the incident. But nevertheless, the,

Kirana blamed herself. How could it be like this?

As he is trying to control his feelings for Alif, as he tries to be consistent with his

his commitment to keep the heart only for his soul mate later, only for God. Without realizing it, someone put their heart on him. Kirana did not blame Rehan's feelings. Kirana just doesn't want to hurt anyone. Kirana just wants everything to go as usual. As before he admired Alif, liked him even he dreamed with him in the way of da'wah.

The tears fell again, is this as difficult as keeping the heart for his 'priest' later?

Not just for the heart

I'm telling you this I really love you

Not just for the heart

When the breath stops

I'd be willing to dance for you

Kirana remembered the lyrics of the song she had heard from the angkot speaker who took Kirana to school every day. Right, not for just any heart he will say his feelings, as deep as he likes Alif, no matter how heavy he must try to make that heart. Kirana just wants to leave her heart to the right person, to the right heart and at the right time.

"A servant will not be tested beyond his means. God won't spill patience on you when you ask for a patient heart. Instead God will test your heart with a little difficulty to see how patient you are with the problem. Allah grants the prayers of the servants not by giving them what they want but by giving them what they need. Maybe you like something when it is not good for you and vice versa something you hate is not necessarily bad for you. Allah is Knowing of all things. We only need to devote ourselves to Him, in every decree."

A message from Ms. Eliza on the routine review that Kirana took last week. Kirana got up from her seat and rushed to the school musholla. He wants to wash his face, he wants to be ablution, Kirana just wants to win his heart. In the musholla, Kirana spilled all grievances on long prayers.

mushollas.

In his heart Alif whispered, "Kirana like this makes people will love him with

effortlessly. I'll never deserve a heart as sincere as Kirana."

All the students present at the special study of the son were stunned when they realized Rehan was present among them that afternoon. How not? So far Rehan is known to be anti-social, there is not a single activity in the school that interests him. He was invited to a music club because he played the piano and drums and was rejected.

Being invited to join the basketball team is also ogah even though he is famous as the tallest student in school and the value of his sports lessons is not in doubt. Moreover, scouts, PMR and sispala, Rehan does not like something binding that requires him to meet and prepare for this event. Rehan with his free soul prefers to go to a special lab for automotive children, even though he comes from Accounting class. It is a contrast, hobby and

the course he chose had no synergy at all. Rehan only fulfilled his mother's request to study accounting as a provision later he had to replace his father managing their business. Rehan, orphaned since 3rd grade Junior High. Died by his father and sister at once in a single accident when he wanted to watch Rehan's graduation procession at that time. Fortunately his mother was thrown off the motorcycle before a truck ran over his father, and Rehan's sister.

Rehan slumped, lost his spirit. He left himself two years out of school. Losing two people he loved so much at the same time was not easy for Rehan. He shuts himself up, disappears from friendship, he hides in a guilt that never subsides. Seeing Rehan's condition like that.

Rehan's mother tries to restore Rehan's spirit, realising that he still has a mother who will depend on him. Bringing Rehan to the building shop his father left behind, saw some employees who relied on the store as their source of income. Mom told Rehan. If he doesn't have a father or sister, at least Rehan still has empathy for the people who work for them. They are the fathers of children like Rehan.

"If this store closes, how do fathers finance their families? How do their kids go to school? At least give the fathers a chance to make their children happy from the sustenance obtained from this store. Dad's gone, I'm not gonna be able to take care of him, there's gotta be somebody else, and it's just Rehan."

Rehan looks at the faces of his father's employees, remembering how his father treated them as best he could, seeing the shadow of his father who every morning greeted and asked the family situation of his employees every morning and every afternoon never forget to say thank you to all employees when the store closed. Dad really means a lot to the employees, for the family especially for Rehan.
