God's Choice of Mate

The situation of Brother Reno.

The morning is approaching, with a breeze of wind that sweeps away the warmth of the body. The morning sun shines with a slight blush of embarrassment in a reddish orange hue. The morning air is cold but feels frozen. The body feels shivering in the sweep of the baby that feels piercing bones. Pain and pain touching the joints.

From Lapas or Penitentiary where Kak Reno was detained, it appears that all the criminals are doing various activities from exercising, sunbathing, worshiping and others. However, Brother Reno sat alone in the corner of the wall outside the futsal court. By leaning his head against the wall, he bent his legs until his knees aligned with his chest. Both hands he put in a circle holding both his legs.

The look in his eyes felt empty, with the look of his face getting dreary and his hair that began to grow long. Her lips were locked tightly, her heart was open. His mind wandered thinking about his fate and destiny. Especially after his parents are gone. His heart was broken to pieces, as he could not even attend the final funeral for his parents. And now he was so devastated in solitude, without anyone at his side.Even the family who visited to just look or ask his condition in the room was not there. Reno's brother was so devastated, after all his family members were ravaged including himself.

His tears welled up his cheeks, he was so distressed and shaken by all the events that had destroyed his entire family.

"Arghhhhhhhhh.

He was so frustrated and seemed unable to accept everything that had happened to him.

His eyes were staring upward in memory of all the events of his life including being with me.

In her cries, it flashed repeatedly the look of my face that adorned her eyes.

" Rani.

Brother Reno recalls how he treated me badly. Rude speech, rude behavior, arbitrary actions and all the bad things he did to me rotated in his mind incessantly.

" If only I had not obeyed Enjid's request, mama, papa and Mbak Riska might not be separated from me at this time, maybe my life and Rani happy at this time. God, how stupid of me to have wasted her, and after she was gone from my life it hurt so much. I was completely devastated and deeply hurt. I can't imagine that Rani isn't my wife anymore, "said Reno with her tears flowing.

"Thighhhhh.... Rani!, " shouted Brother Reno.

Huhuhuhu.... Huhuhuhuhu....

Reno continued to cry incessantly.

He buried his head inside both of his bent knees while hugging his own body in his grief.

His mind was muddled with all sorts of fears and turmoil.

"What if after getting divorced from me. Rani is married to another man. No. gabe... No. gabe... It must not happen, " said Brother Reno while shaking his head with his frightened face.

"I will not let Rani marry another man, forever Rani is mine and will remain my wife. Rani has to marry me again. At any rate, " said Brother Reno said to himself with his sharp and ambitious eyes.

Then suddenly his facial water turned instantly into a doldrums and lethargy.

"But I'm in prison and I'm going to be here for a very long time. Then how can I get out of this room and take Rani away with me?, " said Kak Reno while thinking.

Slowly Brother Reno wiped his tears. Her lethargic eyes now looked wild and savage, trying to think of a way to create a new game that could bring me to meet her.

"I've lost everything, and I won't let me lose you Rani. Although this time my life will be at stake. But there has to be a sacrifice in my love to bring you back into my life" Reno said this time with a wry smile.

Not long after that the warden who worked in the garage where Reno was detained approached him.

"Why is Reno's brother alone here?, "asked the driver carefully.

"I just want to calm my mind sir, " said Mr. Reno while looking at the warden.

The Warden looked sharply at Brother Reno and observed him so closely. And Brother Reno seemed uncomfortable with the sharp gaze of the Warden.

"Brother Reno is a Muslim right?, " asked the Warden. And Reno nodded her head.

"Brother Reno see what that building is?, "appoint the Warden.

"Mushola sir, " replied Brother Reno confusedly.

"Well that knows. It should be that instead of Reno's brother being alone like this, it would be better to worship, perform the prayer of the sunah.Sekalgus pray to Allah for the spaciousness of life, asking for the spaciousness of life,calmness and the most important thing is to repent regret the actions that Reno's brother has done when Reno's brother can still breathe air outside this prodeo hotel, " said Mr. Sipir while patting Kak Reno's shoulder.

Kak Reno's eyes were fixated in confusion as he looked at the Warden who gave a message to him.

Once again the Warden patted Brother Reno's shoulder gently.

"You're young, son, your life is long. And I know that being here is not easy. You must sincerely live your life and promise yourself to change into a different and much better person than before. "

Brother Reno did not flinch at the advice given by the Warden to him.

"Life needs to be called a change Son, of course a change that brings good to our lives. You make the problem you are facing a test, do not make it as something that makes you continue to fall and do not want to try to rise and to get better.As Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said in Surat Ar-Ra'd, verse 11 which reads;

Innallaha la yugayyiru ma biqaumin hatta yugayyiru ma bi`anfusihim.Verily Allah will not change the state of a people until they change the circumstances that exist in themselves. Believe me, every problem has its solution. We are willing to work and rely on Allah or not. "

The sentence that came out of the lips of the Warden slightly hypnotized Kak Reno to hear every word that contained advice to him. His heart that originally felt empty and empty, slowly felt a screeching stream of electricity knocking at the door of his heart. In his silence, Brother Reno tried to open his heart to receive advice from the Warden.

Highlight the warm eyes of the Warden, felt digging up the anger of Brother Reno who was quiet and empty.

"God gave Reno's brother the opportunity to become a human and a better servant by learning from all the mistakes Reno's brothers had made. Therefore, do not slip into the same valley of sin and error. While still given the opportunity to change, use that opportunity before God closes the opportunity and removes the spirit from our bodies, it will all be in vain" said the Warden with a smile.

Brother Reno looked fixedly at the warden who was now sitting on the floor beside Brother Reno.

"Why did you say this to me? But we don't know each other? And there is no benefit for you?, " said Brother Reno.

Brother Reno's heart is still shrouded with prejudices to the good intentions of others to him. And the Warden understood that, so patiently and calmly while staring up also occasionally saw Reno. The warden tried to explain his argument.

"As the narrator of Rasulullulah Shallallahu alaihi Wasallam says: Man dalla'alaa khoirin falahu mitslu ajri faa'ilih.

Whoever leads to good will receive a reward like the reward of those who do it (H.R. Muslims no. 1893).

That is the basis I call on brother Reni to acknowledge the destiny that Allah Subhanallah Wa Ta'ala gave to brother Reno, so that brother Reno avoids futility."

Gleekkkk... Brother Reno swallowed his saliva, and felt slapped to hear the words of the returned warden, slow and polite but right about him.

"Allazina amanu wa tatma`innu qulubuhum bizikrillah, ala bizikrillahi tatma`innul-qulub.

That is to say: (i.e.,) those who believe and have their hearts at peace with the remembrance of Allah. Remember, it is only by remembering Allah that the heart is at peace.

Al-Qur'an letter of Ar-Ra'd verse 28," said the warden while patting slowly Kak Reno's shoulder.

"Let's brother Reno to Musholla, perform dhuha prayers, "take the warden down and leave Reno.

Brother Reno is still fixated on seeing the departure of the warden from before him, he came suddenly with a bright light of kindness for Kak Reno.

Kak Reno's eyes continued to follow the footsteps of the warden who continued to walk away from him towards Musholla.

Speech from the lips of the warden continued to ring in the mind of Reno.

From a distance a simple white tall building, as if calling himself to visit set foot there.

While his heart was still raging decided to move from his seat or continue to be pensive there without doing anything.

Brother Reno is still in a dilemma in un-chronizing his heart and mind.

And not how long he kept pensive, his eyes widened to see the warden was in front of him again by giving the package to Brother Reno.

"Receive this. "

"What is this sir?, "asked Brother Reno.

"Open it and use it if it is useful for you, " said the warden.

Brother Reno opened the plastic package given by the warden to him.

Then he peeked at the contents inside and pulled out the contents.

Cocoa clothes, sarongs, skullcap, prayer beads, prayer mats and the Qur'an.

"Akh, all this equipment for prayer, " said Brother Reno slowly.

Brother Reno raised his head and wanted to thank the warden.

But when he looked around the figure of the warden was no longer anywhere within his sight. Everyone around him looked lonely. His feathers goosebumps, his blood flow sighed instantly. Brother Reno was frightened by his pounding heartbeat.

He quickly put all the gifts from the warden into a plastic bag, then stood up from his seat and brought the gifts from the warden with him.

"Akh, there is no harm if I go to Musholla, " said Brother Reno lirih while holding his neck that continues to creep in fear.

Reno quickly rushed towards Musholla, occasionally looking back to check the whereabouts of the warden.

And how shocked Kak Reno was when he saw that the warden was now standing right where he was sitting while waving his right hand and throwing a smile to Kak Reno.

Kak Reno's hair is getting goosebumps with bulging eyes watching the oddity that happens to him. Wishing this was all a dream, then Sister Reni rubbed her eyes together. When his eyes opened again the figure of the warden was no longer there and disappeared from his view.

Reno's brother was increasingly shocked and frightened, he quickly twisted his body and accelerated his footsteps by hugging the plastic package he brought to get to Musholla.

It feels like the distance to Musholla is so far away for miles and feels heavy.

Huff...

Brother Reno sighed while wiping away the cold sweat that soaked his forehead.

From a distance, someone called his name.

"Brother Reno... Brother Reno."

Brother Reno did not budge and continued walking. He did not dare to look back.

Wasn't that the voice of the warden earlier, Inner Brother Reno by accelerating his footsteps.

Bruukk...

Reno fell because she walked in a hurry and did not look into the road until her feet tripped.

Pluck... Plukkkp.. Pluck..

Someone patted his shoulder slowly, Brother Reno turned his head.

And how astonished Brother Reno was when he saw the warden who was behind him and who patted him on the shoulder.

His heart felt limp for a moment, with cold sweat pouring out.

"Ha.. Han.. Han.. Ghost!, " cried Brother Reno.

"Where is the ghost, " asked the warden confused.

While covering his face with a plastic package given by the warden Kak Reno said, "his ghost father, go sir don't bother me. "

The warden smiled and laughed a little, then

The warden patted her on the shoulder again, Brother Reno, saying, "Astagfirullah. You're not the ghost of Reno's brother. This father is still alive there are no ghosts here. Brother Reno is too much pensive and daydreaming to hallucinate the strange. Yes, let me help you stand up. "

With fear and hesitation, Brother Reno ventured to extend his welcome hand with the help of the warden who helped him stand up.

"I told you, I'm not a ghost." "But where did you suddenly disappear?" asked Kak Reno with a still hesitant face.

"I'm not going anywhere, maybe it's just the hallucination of Reno's brother. Yes, already then. Let's now go to Musholah to worship, "invite the Warden while throwing a smile at Brother Reno while Kak Reno is still a little dazed between being aware and confused by the incident that just happened to him.Pak warden then turned to look at Kak Reno again the one who was still staring at him.

"Come why are you still there!" the warden asked.

Reno nodded with her eyes still as if she could not believe what she saw.

"Iy.iy..iya Sir, " replied Reno brother stammered.

Then Reno walked slowly behind the warden, while continuing to look at the body and footsteps of the warden who was in front of him with a still shuddering feeling of fear.
