God's Choice of Mate

Making plans.

Alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alamin khamdan katsira yuwafi ni'amahu wa yukafiu mazidahu. (All praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, praise equal to His favors and guaranteeing their addition), I said in my heart.

I sat quietly listening to some footsteps walking towards me, Wirda and Ustad Fariz.

" Well that's Dek Rafa and my other family .Deck Wirda and Dek Rani" said Ustad Fariz to Wirda and myself.

Not long after that Rafa was heard walking closer and closer to some people with him.

" Assalamualaikum" said a man greeting us.

" Wa'alaikumsalam Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh," I replied with Wirda and Ustad Fariz simultaneously.

Wirda then stood up and greeted how many people were participating with Rafa.

While I also want to do the same thing with Wirda, but prevented by everyone in the living room.

" Kid Rani, just sit down and don't stand up, son" said a woman with a soft voice holding my fingers.

" Oh yes Nak Rani must be confused yes.Include me Umunya Fariz and Rafa.Fariz told me a lot about Nak Rani to us," said Ummunya ustad Fariz to me.

"Eh.iya aunty" I said as I felt her hand and was about to kiss her.

"Call Ummah, son, not aunt" said Ummunya ustad Fariz, gently rubbing my head after I kissed her hand.

"Well Ummah.Thank you very much Ummah is willing to accept me here and apologize for the inconvenience and distress Ummi and the entire family Ustad Fariz," said slowly.

Ummunya's hand-fingered Ustad Fariz stroked my head again gently. Then invite me to sit back with Ummunya ustad Fariz.

All the eyes present in the living room stared at us.

"Rani why talk like that. Ummah was happy to meet Rani in person. Moreover, knowing Rani will be here for a while with Wirda, " said Ummunya ustad Fariz while looking at Wirda as well and rubbed Wirda's cheek.

Wirda also smiled shyly and a little hesitant towards the treatment of Umunya ustad Fariz. Then Wirda also greeted Umunya ustad Fariz by kissing her hand. Ummah looked pleased and gently stroked Wirda's head as well.

"Alhamdulillah.MasyaAllah, today Ummah got two beautiful and beautiful daughters, "praise Ummah to me and Wirda.

"Hehehe, Ummah could have praised him, "wirda said.

"MasyaAllah Tabarakallah, "my thoughts are slow.

Ummah who was sitting in the middle flanked by me and Wirda continued to hold the fingers of my right hand gently.

" Rani and Wirda, meet Fariz's brother Fariz and Rafa's brother Zauji or Ummah's husband. Then who sat next to Rafa was his grandfather Fariz and Rafa was also the in-laws of Ummah.Usually Fariz and Rafa called his grandfather with the call Enjid or Njid, "his ummy-word ustad Fariz explained to me and Wirda.

" Welcome and greet Nak Wirda and Nak Rani at our residence, "said Abinya ustad Fariz to me and Wirda.

"Yes, thank you, "reply to Wirda.

"Don't call me Nak Wirda. Call Abi, "pinta Abinya ustad Fariz to Wirda.

"Oh yes Abi, thank you for allowing me, Rani, Bik Siti and Bik Inah to temporarily settle in the Abi residence, ", said Wirda.

"Together Nak Wirda, it's okay, "reply Abi.

"Son Rani how is she?, "asked Abi to me.

"Alhamdulillah I am good Abi, "I replied slowly.

"Rani don't feel shy and embarrassed here huh. Later if you need something Rani can ask for help with Bik Inem or with Umunya Fariz and Rafa, "Abi told me.

"Yes Abi. Thank you for being willing to be bothered by my presence here, "I said.

"Akh, son Rani don't say that. Nothing is bothered. We are happy that Fariz and Rafa can help Nak Rani" Abi said.

"Enjid really did not expect to meet with Rani. The grandson of Njid's best friend, the late Widiyanto, "said his grandfather, Ustad Fariz.

"Then does Njid know his late grandfather Rani well?, " asked Rafa.

"Clearly Rafa. Who does not know the late Widiyanto. He is a respected and very famous person who has so many assets. But he is a simple and generous figure to everyone, " replied Enjid.

"But after Njid listened to all the stories that happened to the friend of Widiyanto's late grandfather and his son, son-in-law and grandson Rani. Enjid felt very sad and really did not imagine if all this happened as a result of Suprapto.

"It turns out that Enjid was a friend of my late grandfather, "said me slowly.

"Betul Nak Rani's. And Alhamdulillah now Enjid in the meeting with the grandson of Enjid's best friend, Nak Rani .Therefore Nak Rani do not feel shy and feel guilty or feel very troublesome Enjid family. Enjid press it to Nak Rani. That Enjid and the entire Enjid family do not have the mind to feel bothered let alone troubled by the presence of Nak Rani. Enjid was even happy and happy to be able to help Nak Rani because Rani was also already Enjid considered like the grandson of Enjid himself. Nak Rani's late grandfather was a very good person and helped Enjid a lot during his life. Before Enjid started and pioneered all businesses - businesses that are growing rapidly today.There is intervention and great help from the late grandfather Nak Rani. He was never stingy about science and always light-handed towards others .And because of his kindness and sincerity, the late grandfather Nak Rani was used by Suprapto .And after the departure of his grandfather Nak Rani . The mosque tried to find the whereabouts of your late grandmother but could not be found. Yes, until finally Fariz recounted all the events when he met Mr. Budi and Nak Rani .And Mr. Budi has also conveyed all things about Nak Rani and Enjid to mourn the passing of your late mother, son. Enjid was also deeply saddened to hear of the ill-treatment of all Suprapto families towards Nak Rani .And it is indeed possible that this is the path that Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala gave so that Nak Rani was freed from the shackles of the Suprapto family with the help of Enjid's grandchildren Fariz and Rafa .Therefore, Rani do not feel shy, son. Enjid and the whole family will try to optimize and help Rani to be free from the entanglement of the Suprapto family. And we will try to take all the assets of wealth that should be yours and your rights as well Nak Rani, "said Enjid at length.

I was still silent hearing all the words conveyed by Enjid. It feels so long ago my journey struggled after the departure of the late Mother. When I was really down and felt as if I was alone in a world that even I thought was very torturing to me at that time. But again by the grace of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala slowly God sent help to me by presenting good and sincere and dear people to me ,in the midst of the swift pain inflicted by Kak Reno's family on my life.But at least now I see a little light spot of my chances of liberation. Even small in my dark eyes. However, I did not feel afraid anymore nor felt alone and lonely.

I try to express my feelings in my mind.

And while I was really grateful for the blessings and gifts that God gave me at this time.Suddenly Brother Rafa interrupted the conversation Enjid.

" Oh yes Enjid.Did Enjid know in advance who is the lawyer of his family Dek Rani when his late grandfather Dek Rani was still alive?" Kak Rafa told Enjid. "Why are you asking the lawyer of his late grandfather Rani?" asked Enjid. "For with us know the lawyer appointed directly by his late friend Enjid. We can move all assets of wealth that should be his rights and his Dek Rani .Because until now the Suprapto family was manipulating data about all the assets that Dek Rani should have .And the lawyer who has been appointed by his late grandfather Dek Rani did not know if there are still legitimate descendants of the late father Widiyanto who is still alive today, Dek Rani. And that is the Enjid that makes the Suprapto family do not want to release Rani and force Rani to be their daughter-in-law. Because they do not want to lose all the assets of wealth that they enjoy for many years now. And if we can find the whereabouts of the family lawyer of his late grandfather Dek Rani .Of course it will be very helpful for us to organize or make plans and turn things around so that the Suprapto family can not dwell anymore and do arbitrary," said Rafa.

Enjid listened to Kak Rafa's words in earnest. While thinking of repeating the memory in his memory and recalling events in his past.

" Shortly if not mistaken lawyer from the family of his late grandfather Nak Rani that Enjid also know him. But his whereabouts now Enjid doesn't know where? and is he also still alive, "said Enjid slowly while thinking.

" Yes Enjid. May Enjid remember something that could be a clue for us to search for the whereabouts of his late grandfather's lawyer Dek Rani, "said Kak Rafa expectantly.

" But does Njid still remember the name of the lawyer of his late grandfather Dek Rani?, "asked Rafa.

" Njid briefly tried to remember it first, "said Enjid while trying to squeeze his memory.

While everyone who was in the living room stared at the hope of Enjid. Especially Kak Rafa, Kak Fariz and Wirda who are waiting for answers from Enjid with hope.

" Oh yes Enjid remembered that his name was not mistaken, Mr. Gon...Gon...Oh yes, his name..Mr. Gondrong Widodo, "said Enjid with a relieved facial expression.

Hearing the answer from Enjid, Wirda ,Kak Fariz and Kak Rafa also look at each other and smile. At least this was the starting point for them to begin tracing the whereabouts of the late lawyer my grandfather was. And I also felt a little relieved and satisfied. At least slowly Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave way to open the bright spot of my journey that has been gloomy for so long.

" Well Njid then can Rafa ask for the address of our family lawyer now?" Kak Rafa asked Enjid.

But before Enjid answered a question from Rafa. Abi as the father of Ustad Fariz and Kak Rafa interrupts the conversation of Kak Rafa and Enjid.

"Just look Rafa, you immediately rush to the car and the address will be Abi send by message. God willing, Abi will share the details of our lawyer's house.How ?" Abi asked Rafa.

"Both Abi, so is it better, "Reply Brother Rafa.

"Yes Abi should Rafa hurry up to see the lawyer of our family now. In order to be able to extract information about the whereabouts of lawyers from his late grandfather Dek Rani is located, "said Kak Rafa while standing. "Well why are you in such a hurry Rafa?" asked Enjid.

"Yes Enjid because we don't have much time left. Before Reno's case was heard and Rafa was not assigned to the outside of the city. So Rafa can help Dek Rani and Kak Fariz. Of course, the better for us to know the existence of lawyers from his late grandfather Dek Rani quickly, the better for us to stop the steps and movements of the Suprapto family. Isn't that so Njid?" asked Rafa.

"It is true what you Rafa said, " said Enjid.

"Well, if you think so. You have rushed, son. Oh yes Who are you going with?, Abi asked Rafa.

Rafa then glanced at Wirda with a smile and Wirda returned a smile to Rafa and then prepared to stand up and say, "Sir Rafa will go with me Abi, "wirda said softly.

" Wirda boy?" Abi said a little hesitantly. "Why not with your brother Fariz and Pak Budi just to make it more delicious and equally male?" Abi asked again to Rafa.

"Kak Fariz and Pak Budi will take care of the development of the case on the matter of divorce lawsuit Dek Rani and also the case that befell Reno. Meanwhile Rafa will be accompanied by Wirda to search for the whereabouts of his late grandfather's lawyer Dek Rani is currently located. At least we share Abi's duties. So that problems for the sake of problems that interfere with Dek Rani can be quickly resolved. And meanwhile Dek Rani let at home with Ummah also with Bik Siti and Bik Inah," said Rafa.

Abi also thought and nodded his head. "It's okay that way. All right then you guys hurry up and be careful. God willing, Nak Rani is safe here and in the care and supervision of all of us, "said Abi.

" Well then Abi, Enjid, Ummah, Brother Fariz. Rafa and Wirda are leaving right now. Assalamualaikum, "said Rafa while greeting and kissing one by one other family members.

" Waalaikumsalam Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh, "replies all members of his family and myself simultaneously. "You be careful, son, "say Ummah in her soft voice while rubbing the head of Rafa ."And also take good care of Wirda with you, "sung ummah again.

"God is God, " replied Rafa.

"Ran, me and Rafa go first. You're fine here, "Wirda told me.

"Yes Wirda, you be careful huh, "reply me.

"Iya Rani, " said Wirda while pinching my cheek gently.

"Ummah I put Rani here yes, "smart Wirda to Ummah.

"Iya Wirda take it easy Rani will be fine here and Ummah will take care of her.So you take it easy. Oh yes you are careful also yes with Rafa and do not forget to tell if you have arrived and are where ," said Ummah gently while rubbing Wirda's head.

Not long after, Rafa and Wirda had gone and headed into the car. Then not long after that Mr. Budi also went down. And Ustad Fariz invited Mr. Budi to hurry to go to take care of the case for the development of divorce lawsuits and reports of violence against me in the police and religious courts.

After Ustad Fariz said goodbye to me and all his family members he also rushed away with Mr. Budi.

So I stayed with Umma, Enjid and Abi Ustad Fariz.

I am still silent while praying that Wirda, Rafa, Ustad Fariz and Pak Budi are in good condition and in the protection of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. They put so much priority on me and sacrificed so much energy, time, thought and everything to help me. I was very helpful and didn't know what to say to them. With the sincere intention of those who never get tired and tired to help me.

" What is Rani thinking?," asked Ummah trying to research my slightly pensive self.

" No Ummah Rani just thought Rafa and Ustad Fariz helped Rani so much. And Rani did not know what to do to repay the kindness of the two sons of Ummah who helped Rani so much, "my words slowly.

Once again Ummah gently rubbed my head and clasped my fingers slowly, "Rani should not think like that. The two sons of Ummah did all these things just to hope that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. God willing will be charity and savings for the two sons of Ummah. So Rani need not feel hesitant and burdened with all these things.Didn't Ummah have said all of this God has predestined and maybe this is the path that God gave to Rani for all the patience Rani did and Rani accepted the trials that God gave to Rani ceaselessly. And God willing, it is time for God to lift up all the sufferings and tribulations of Rani. Through the help of the two sons of Ummah. God willing after this Rani can live a good, comfortable and unfettered life from the Suprapto family that continues to make Rani's life difficult, " Ummah said gently and calmed her words.

" Oh yes, it is Ummah. Rani Ummah should take her to the room to rest .Abi see Rani's face looks pale .Maybe he's exhausted" Abi said to Ummah while looking at the screen of his phone.

"Yes Abi, " said Ummah.

"Rani, Ummah take her to the room to rest yes, " invite Ummah to me.

"Sorry Ummah but Rani is not tired yet. Whether it is possible if Rani sits with Ummah in the yard or garden in the residence of this Ummah house, "my door to Ummah.

"Of course you can, son, come with Ummah we sit in the back garden. Usually, the air is still cool and shady. Oh yes Rani is going to drink first?, "ask Ummah to me.

I shook my head slowly, "No Ummah Rani is not thirsty yet, "I replied.

"Yes already then we go straight to the back garden huh, " said Ummah while holding my fingers to stand up.

"Enjid and Abi. I accompanied Rani on a walk to the back garden first yes, " said Ummah asking permission to Enjid and Abi.

"Yes please Ummah, " replied Abi.

then slowly Uma led my hand with affection and tenderness towards the back garden Either from the sound and touch of her hand Ummah.I felt the presence of the figure of Mother in Ummah.And immediately also my sense of longing against the Mother arise.

Rabbighfir li, wa li waalidayya, warham huma kamaa rabbayaani shaghira. (That means: My Lord, forgive me my sins and (sins) my parents. Love both of them as they loved me when I was little, I said slowly in my heart while continuing to walk slowly accompanied by Ummah who presented my longing to the late Mother.
