God's Choice of Mate

Rani Reception.

Ustad Fariz and Pak Hadi have arrived at the home of Ustad Fariz.

"Pak Hadi, please sit down first, while I will call Dek Rani to come down" said Ustad Fariz.

Mr. Hadi smiled at Ustad Fariz.However, before Ustad Fariz walked away from him.Pak Hadi also said, "Son Fariz, I just wait in the backyard.So much better the atmosphere when talking to Nak Rani".

"Well Mr. Hadi.Oh yes I forgot, Pak Hadi wants to drink what sir?," asked Ustad Fariz.

Mr. Hadi who was walking answered Ustad Fariz's question, "Okay, oh,Nak Fariz take it easy.I can tell my own to Aunt later.Now Nak Fariz immediately call Nak Rani just to tell the news that will make her happy".

"Well Mr. Hadi" replied Ustad Fariz.

Mr. Hadi walked to the back garden of Ustad Fariz's house to sit there while Ustad Fariz immediately went upstairs to call myself.

Geck..Geck...Geck...

Ustad Fariz knocked on my door and Wirda stayed for a while at the Ustad Fariz residence.

"Assalamualaikum Dek Rani" call Ustad Fariz.

" Waalaikumsalam Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh," said Winda answered greetings from Ustad Fariz while opening the door to the room.

Czechk....

The door is open.

"Sir Fariz.What is it?" asked Wirda.

"Where is Dek Rani Wirda?" said Ustad Fariz.

"Oh Rani was praying ashar Kak Fariz.What's the matter?," Wirda asked looking at Ustad Fariz.

" Oh yes already Dek Wirda then after Dek Rani finished doing the prayer asar.I ask you please Dek Wirda immediately invite Dek Rani to go down to the backyard. Because Mr. Hadi dab I want to tell a very important news to Dek Rani," said Ustad Fariz while bowing his gaze from Wirda.

Wirda frowned at the words of Ustad Fariz.

"It's important?," said Wirda slowly muttered a little. He immediately asked Ustad Fariz what he wanted Ustad Fariz to say to me. "What is important, indeed, that Fariz and Hadi's brother would like to convey to Rani, if Wirda could find out?" asked Wirda with curiosity.

Ustad Fariz smiled at Wirda. "God willing, the Deck of Wira will also know about the important news that I and Mr. Hadi will convey. Yes already then , I went down to accompany Mr. Hadi while waiting for Dek Rani finished doing the prayer asar ,"sahut Ustad Fariz then left Wirda who was still standing glued to his departure.

Wirda was still thinking to guess the important thing what Ustad Fariz and Pak Hadi wanted to convey to me, while putting his index finger near his forehead. Wirda kept walking slowly to see how I was doing. Whether you have finished praying or not.

Seeing myself still chanting dhikr with my words, Wirda was patiently waiting for me by sitting not far from where I am now.

"Yaa Hayyu Ya Qoyyum, bi-rohmatika as-taghiits, wa ash-lih li sya’nii kullahu wa la takilnii ilaa nafsii thorfata ‘ainin abadan.

O Lord Almighty, Lord of the Alone (does not need everything), I ask for help with Your grace, fix all my affairs and do not leave me even a blink of an eye (without Your help)" I said slowly.

And not long ago I finished performing the Ashar prayer. So Wirda immediately came up to me and said, "Ran, that was while you were praying .Ustad Fariz came here and told me that Mr. Hadi and himself wanted to tell you the most important news. For that, I was asked to take you to the backyard because Ustad Fariz and Mr. Hadi were waiting for you" Wirda explained to me. I listened to Wirda's words as I let go of my face and folded it slowly, thinking what important things Mr. Hadi and Ustad Fariz wanted to talk to me, I asked in my heart. But quickly Wirda immediately told me to hurry so that Ustad Fariz and Pak Hadi did not wait too long for me.Then Wirda helped to tidy up my hijab .After that Wirda led me to immediately go down to meet Ustad Fariz and Pak Hadi.

Arriving in the backyard of Ustad Fariz's house .It was heard from my sense of hearing, the voice of everyone talking.

"Well, Rani has come" Enjid told me of my arrival with the others after seeing me.

Ummah who heard about the coming soon got up from her seat and helped Wirda lead me to sit beside Ummah.

"Let's Rani and Wirda sit next to Ummah yeah," said Ummah softly.

After Wirda and I sat next to Ummah, Pak Hadi immediately started talking to me.

"Assalamualaikum, son Rani how is he now?".

" Wa'alaikumsalam Warahmatulli Westarakatuh. Thank God Mr. Hadi, Rani's condition is fine", I replied.

" Thank God if so.Pak Hadi is happy to hear it".

Hearing that Mr. Hadi has already started a conversation with me. Everyone who was in the backyard and was sitting was silent without saying anything, to listen to what Mr. Hadi would say to me. And for a moment the atmosphere became silent, only the sound of splashing water from the fish pond that was so boisterous interspersed with Pak Hadi's conversation with me.

" Yes sir, please just say it. Insha Allah Rani is ready to listen to him" I said calmly and waited for a news to be shared by Mr. Hadi with me..

" Today the religious court has issued a divorce certificate from the divorce between Nak Rani and Dek Reno, so Nak Rani has officially divorced Dek Reno".

DEG....

My feeling was a little pained listening to him.And the beat of my heart seemed to run very fast.

While that sounds the voice of the others, it will be news that makes them happy.

" Alhamdulilahbilalamin o Allah" said Enjid and Abi simultaneously.

"Alhamdulillah, finally Rani has been released from Brother Reno and his family," said Winda very happily.

"Alhamdulillah, Kak Rafa was happy to hear this news Dek Rani," said Kak Rafa.

"Alhamdullilah," Ummah said also quietly while rubbing my head, as well as reciting the do'a with the tongue.

"Allohumma zidnaa walaa tanqushnaa wa akrimnaa walaa tuhinnaa wa a’thinaa walaa tahrimnaa wa aatsirnaa wa tu’tsir ‘alainaa wardhinaa wardho ‘annaa.

It means: O Allah, increase us and do not reduce us, glorify us and do not despise us, give us and do not prevent us, put us forward and do not leave us aside, please accept us and accept our actions".

"Aamiin yes robbal alamiin," I said.

Then Mr. Hadi also, forwarded his words."Inside this folder contains all documents Nak Rani who yesterday used for divorce proceedings Nak Rani and Dek Reno.In it there is also a sheet of original documents divorce deed that I have neatly arranged.And Pak Hadi congratulated Nak Rani, for being free from Dek Reno and his family.Hopefully after this Nak Rani can continue her life now. With a new beginning, a new hope and a new purpose .Hopefully what has happened in the life of Nak RNi can provide benefits in the form of lessons that are so very valuable. In order to be a role model and also an ever more muse can mature Nak Rani to live life in this world. Insha Allah whatever Nak Rani has passed both like sorrow and suffering. Pak Hadi hopes that all will be a field of reward and will be because of Allah Ta'ala".

" Aamiin.Iya Mr. Hadi thank you," I replied slowly.

"And after this we can focus on immediately preparing for the Deck of Rani. Who will soon have his eye surgery done, '" said Ustad Fariz looking pleased.

And suddenly Enjid said again.

"Why does Enjid see Nak Rani like so many minds? Is Nak Rani not happy to hear the news of Nak Rani's divorce with Dek Reno?," asked Enjid trying to browse through my heart.

And when Enjid asked like that. Everyone was silent and watching me. I also felt awkward and uneasy to hear questions from Enjid. "Not so Njid.Rani only felt surprised to hear the news of Rani's divorce with Reno," I said slowly. Then I continued to say again," Because now Rani is officially divorced with Reno.Maka Rani is better immediately out and go from the residence of the house Enjid.Since now Rani has no relationship with the Suprapto family,so that Rani has been free from their interference.Again Rani feel bad if you have to trouble all members of the Enjid family," said slowly.

Ummah immediately rubbed back my head with affection like Ummah's own daughter. "Why did Rani say that?honestly Ummah did not like to hear it.Ummah, and the entire Ummah family did not feel bothered by the presence of Rani here, Nak".

"Allow Abi, Enjid, Fariz and Rafa?" asked Ummah.

"Yes right Ummah," they answered all compactly.

"Then Rani heard it herself. God willing, no one would mind if Rani was here until Rani's condition was completely healed and could see again as before. Ummah and the other Ummah family sincerely helped Rani. And Ummah hopes Rani does not have such thoughts anymore huh," said Ummah softly and quietly.

The mosque also conveyed what was in his heart to me. "Yes Nak Rani. Form has considered Rani as the Grandchild of his own Being.Rani is the grandson of his best friend Enjid, who is, so where might Enjid become objected and also feel burdened with the existence of Rani here.Jut Enjid and the whole family Enjid feel very happy if Rani can stay here.And Enjid ask Rani not to think yeah assortments. Just focus on preparing for the eye surgery that Rani will face. We all hope that Rani's vision can be restored as usual. So we can all be happy to see Rani can be independent and return to normal life as usual," said Enjid.

"Yes Rani deck, what Ummah and Enjid say is true. Dek Rani do not need to think of the kinds that will interfere with the health of Dek Rani. Now the most important Dek Rani focus. As Enjid has said is to prepare to undergo eye surgery which will soon be done. We all pray for the best for Dek Rani" said Kak Rafa who also expressed his heart.

" It's true, Brother Farid," said Rafa as he patted Ustad Fariz's pensive arm. Ustad Fariz was surprised by the action that Kak Rafa did and answered Kak Rafa's question with a little stammering, "I.ya ..iya rightr Dek Rafa".

Brother Rafa smiled looking at the attitude of Kak Fariz who looked tense and became nervous.

Everyone laughed to see Rafa and Fariz .Then not long after Mr. Hadi was ready to go home because the day had begun to evening and azan maghrib would want to roar.

Abi, Enjid, Kak Rafa and Ustad Fariz drove Mr. Hadi to the front yard. Ummah and Wirda led me back into the room.

After the Ummah came out of the room. I sat on the sofa by the window with Wirda reading all the documents Mr. Hadi gave me. But there was a sense of relief and also a feeling of distress that had disappeared from my heart.But somehow my mind was fixed on Brother Reno and a little worried about him. I thought back to my last conversation with Brother Reno. How he expressed his heart to me, but I quickly threw away the memory so as not to spin and fill my head. I don't want to go back to being fooled or pitying the attitude and the words that Reno said to me, because I know Reno is very clever at theatrics and manipulating all circumstances. I was deterred and did not want to get hurt again and was fooled by his new ruse.

Ughhhhhh.....

I let out a long sigh and gave thanks for all the favors that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave me. Because one by one the problems that wrapped around my life began to be resolved. Wirda rubbed my shoulder slowly. "I'm so happy about this amazing news, Ran.Hopefully this is the beginning to start your new life ya ya ,"said Winda while hugging me and I also gently rubbed Wirda's hand while saying to him ."Thank you, Wir, because you always accompany me in my bad times. You are the best friend that I have Wir," I said slowly and quietly.Lalu Wirda also answered my question," Akh Ran, in friendship no repeated thanks .Didn't I say you were more than a friend to me. You are like my own sister and for that I never feel tired and burdened to be by your side .I want to see you happy Ran," Wirda said to me."And I also want to see you happy Wir," I said back.

Wirda then hugged me back to express her happiness because I had officially parted with Brother Reno. After that, we talked with laughter that filled our mood with happiness. And it did not feel the time was rolling quickly until the adhan Magrib was reverberating. And Wirda helped me to take the ablution and quickly led me to go back down to perform the congregational magrib prayer with the Ustad Fariz family, to the mosque in his house.
