God's Choice of Mate

Healing.

While I was enjoying nature's taddabur, Wirda came up to me and her fingers held my shoulders slowly while calling me."Ran, what are you doing here?,"he asked.I turned to him as well. "I am living Wir nature, enjoying the beauty of God's creation and grateful for all His greatness over all the phenomena of His creation that are in the sky and on earth" I said, looking at Wirda.

Wirda fell silent digesting the sentence I said to him. My eyes were originally looking at Wirda, now I turn back to highlight the beauty of nature around me.Soever Wirda did, he also reflected on my actions.

" I'm so pleased Dan, with the return of your vision. After this I heard from Ummah, you will come out of the house of Imandar and take Bik Siti and Pak Budi with you. Is that true?, "said Wirda looking at me.

My eyes met with the look of his questioning eyes to confirm the truth of the news he heard from Ummah. My lips smiled at him, "Yes Wirda was right. "

Wirda's facial expression was flat instantly and as if thinking. "Ran, what better thing if you stay with me or stay in the house of Ummah.In my opinion it will be much better than you stay alone. "

I turned to Wirda and looked around where I and Wirda were standing, to find a chair so we could talk in a relaxed and comfortable manner. My lips smiled, after I found on my left side which is approximately 2m there is an iron long chair facing the reservoir and empty not occupied. So I immediately invited Wirda to go there and sit on that chair. Without a lot of words Wirda did not reject my invitation. It didn't take long until Wirda and I finally sat down on the long iron chair I meant. After sitting down, Wirda looked towards me. He seemed to be waiting for the answer from the expression of his heart to me.

I slowly held Wirda's hand and saw the look in her eyes that were so serious looking at me.

"Wirda, there are many reasons I have considered in terms of the goodness of myself and everyone around me. "

My lips were silent for a moment waiting for Wirda's response, after he also did not flinch and only listened to my words then I continued my words to him.

"The main reason why I had to get out of the house of Ustad Fariz as soon as possible was because I had no connection with the family of Ustad Fariz, Wir. "

This time Wirda interrupted the words I had spoken to him.

" But Ran. Didn't the whole Ustadz Fariz family accept your presence, and they all make you like a member of your own family. Even more so Ummah who loves you so much and considers yourself like her own biological daughter. You know Ran, just now when Ummah said if you want to get out of the house Imandar.I see the eyes of Ummah glazed.She seemed unwilling and heavy hearted to let yourself leave the residence of his home. I was full of Ran, seeing Ummah's face so sad. However, I knew he was trying to hide the restlessness of his heart so as not to become a burden on everyone's mind. Do you not pity Ran, seeing Ummah become sad like that? and whether or not you should just stay at the residence of his home Ustad Fariz," Wirda looked at me seriously.

Huft...

I let out a short sigh trying to regulate the uncomfortable feeling of being inside my heart that I wanted to reveal to Wirda.

" Wirda I also love Ummah very much like my own round house and have great respect for all members of the Ustad Fariz family, my intention to get out of the house of Ummah is also to maintain the dignity and avoid the slander of all people for my existence in that house ,you also know not if the Imandar family is a family that is very respected and so respected by everyone,then what will be the mind of everyone if I remain in the house without any clear family relationship status. Moreover, the two sons of the Imandar family are men and I am a woman .Would everyone just shut up, certainly not Wirda. Maybe not now, but gradually with the passage of time everyone will speculate and make negative rumors to the Imandar family, he said, especially for Ustad Fariz who plunged directly in the world of da'wah with fans of mothers and women who MasyahAllah many. And that's what I'm afraid of."

Wirda was silent listening to my explanation.

"Again Wirda, soon Brother Rafa will propose to you and propose you to be his wife . After that, of course, Rafa will take you to live in the Imandar family with him. "

Wirda's face blushed in shame listening to my words this time, his cheeks blushed red in the sunlight that hit his beautiful shade.

I smiled at Wirda, who was trying to hide her shame from me.

"You don't have to be ashamed of me like that, Wirda. I already know everything because Rafa's own sister told me directly ."

Wirda was surprised."Is that really Ran?,"asked with a slightly bulging expression of disbelief.

I nodded, "Yes Wirda," I said.

So Wirda's cheeks grew red and lowered his gaze from me after he gave a shy smile to me.

Pinched Wirda's red cheeks gently I continued my words to Wirda.

"After later you and Rafa officially become a married couple and live in the Imandar family. Ummah will definitely not grieve anymore about my decision to get out of his house, because there is Wirda the best daughter who will come to fill Ummah's life with her family with an abundance of millions of happiness and affection, "I said. And Wirda smiled at my words. "Why did I not choose to live in your house, because I wanted to organize my life from the beginning with all the new memories, the new order of life, ' he said ,and also with a new mood. I don't want to be constantly troublesome and dependent on others. I think this is the right time for me to start and start my next life after the independence I got from the shackles of the Reno Kak family. "

Wirda held my finger and looked at me seriously.

" Ran Isn't it okay you stay at Ustad Fariz's house. Especially after I got married to Rafa. Isn't it okay, because later there will be me in the house" said Wirda by stating his argument. I shook my head and clasped Wirda's hand back ."Can't Wir, and it's not appropriate for a woman who doesn't have any relationship to live in the home of a single man, and the reasons that have been told to you before. I did this for my own good and that of the entire Ustad Fariz family. I will stick with my decision to get out of that house and live in a simple house that I will later live with Mr. Budi and Bik Siti while pioneering my business and continuing my education. Anyway later if I get out of the Ummah house and choose to live somewhere else. Ummah and I will also continue to be able to meet, because we still live in the same place. Ummah will be able to visit me and vice versa I will also be able to visit Ummah's house, as well as visit you and I think there is no problem with all that. It is all just a matter of time and habituation only later.Yes already Wirda does not need us to continue to discuss this problem. Anyway this is not a big thing to question.Now you just focus on your future with Rafa Yes, "my words while pinching Wirda's cheek once again.

This time Wirda nodded his head, he seemed to have understood and understood what was my decision. A gentle wind hit our smiling faces. The happiness that emanated from the face of my best friend colored my happiness as well. In my eyes I looked at his smile. I always pray to the Power that the happiness and good fortune of life always accompany me in every step of his life, my mind in my heart.

While I was chatting with Wirda I occasionally expressed my views towards Ummah, Pak Budi, and Bik Siti as if they were talking seriously. While I saw Ustad Fariz walking alone closer to where Ummah was sitting with Bik Siti and Pak Budi.

"Ran, I see the color of your eyeballs does not seem to be the same as the color of the eyeballs owned by the late Kak Roy, ", Wirda said, staring intently at my eyes.

I looked at Ummah and turned my eyes to Wirda. "Is that really Wirda? where do you know that?, "question me with a questionable facial expression and both eyebrows raised upwards.

"Yes Ran, as I recall the color of the eyeball owned by the late Kak Roy is black or dark brown but the color of your eyeball is different, namely hazel color by having a combination or mixture of colors on the iris. Like there is a kind of mixture of green and orange or gold that is almost like the color of a cat's eye, Ran. "

Wirda told me by constantly observing my eyeballs. Actually hearing Wirda's words made me flinch a little but I tried positive thinking, while arguing to Wirda about the doubts arising from his vision.

"Wirda, sliced eye is a muscle so that it can contract to control the size of the pupil, there is a possibility that the color can change because the eye pigment is compressed or spread,light to the concentration of an object can change the color of the eye and even the emotions I feel can also affect the color of the eyeball. And it's also possible that my eyes have adapted to the cornea of the deceased's eye, Kak Roy.

I who listened to Wirda spoke, slightly frowned and was amazed at the attitude of Wirda.So I just silently looked at it.

"Oh yes Ran, when Rafa and I wanted to tell you about the death of Madam Sri to Reno and her family,on the way home to the house of the late Pak Sugeng and his grandfather Kak Reno, I saw Rere pushing a wheelchair to get into the car,and a man covered in a mask and a hat sat on a wheelchair that he pushed."

"Then?, "ask Wirda.

"Yes Ran, I don't know why I saw the man was no stranger to me, although I didn't see his face clearly but I felt very familiar with him. However, since we were on the opposite street and the lights were green, I could not go down to Rere and observe the man closely. For some reason Ran, my heart seemed to feel curious about the man who was with Rere .Even to this day, I still think about who that man is. Because Rafa and I have not had time to monitor and monitor Rere, because Kak Rafa's busy with Enjid and Abi. "

I kept listening to Rere's words that looked so very serious with a real curiosity in the male figure with Rere. Until Wirda held my shoulder tightly in her suspicious and probing eyes. "I feel like there's something Rere has hidden from us Ran, with no intention of making a bad thought to Rere."

I stared at Wirda who was so suspicious of Rere.

Then suddenly Bik Siti came patting gently on both of our backs and broke my daydream.

"Oh, what are Nak Rani and Nak Wirda talking about? Bik Siti called from earlier not heard. "

"Oh sorry Bik, "I replied smiling.

" Yes it's okay. Oh yes Nak Wirda and Nak Rani are called Miss Princess to join there. Mr. Sucipto, Pak Iwan and Nak Rafa have also come to wait for the two of you to go there immediately.

Come! ," said Bik Siti holding my hand and Wirda to immediately stand towards the place where Ummah and others were sitting waiting for our arrival.

Wirda and I walked to the side of Bik Siti in our footsteps to where Ummah was. My gaze continued to see the face of anxiety that was still depicted on Wirda's facial expression and occasionally I called Wirda to signal to him not to think about it first. Wirda who understood also nodded to me and immediately forgot her nervousness and suspicion towards Rere. Not long before the three of us arrived at the place where Ummah and Imandar family were eating the food they ordered while staring at the arrival of the three of us. Then the sitting Enjid stood up to me, gently stroking my head and thanking me for the vision that had returned to me. Enjid then led me to sit next to him near Ummah.

His eyes were glazed with novelty, and this was the first time I could see Enjid's face after I could see.

"Alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alamin khamdan katsira yuwafi ni'amahu wa yukafiu mazidahu. Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds, praise equal to His favors and guarantee their addition. MasyaAllah Enjid is very happy to hear from the Princess if Rani's vision has returned as usual, "Enjid said with tears of his novelty.

I just looked at Enjid with a smile and a bad feeling to see him crying like that.

"If your late grandfather is still around, the deceased would be happy and proud to have a grandson like you son, " said Enjid again while rubbing my head.

The mosque wiped away her tears and Abi and Kak Rafa also kept flooding me with prayers and thanksgiving.

Today is also the first time my eyes can immediately see the face of Abi and also Rafa, who so has a large and tall body stature. And I was almost shocked.

I also saw everyone dissolved in happiness celebrating the return of my vision that had been unable to function and made me so very badly down. But the existence of the Ustad Fariz family along with Pak Budi, Bik Siti and Wirda continued to support my strength to survive. Until now, Alhamdulillah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala allowed and gave healing and restored my vision again to be able to see the expression of faces of happiness that enveloped the best people around me.

From another angle it was seen Kak Rafa who was staring at Wirda with his big smile, and Wirda shyly also returned the smile that Kak Rafa gave him . Wirda and Kak Rafa seemed to have dimensions of their own world in between our being around them. Ummah and Enjid also unceasingly rubbed my head and bestowed his affection on me with their attention.

Every now and then my heart would like to know what Ustad Fariz was doing sitting across from me. Ustad Fariz looked at me occasionally, and as usual he immediately lowered his gaze when the corner of our eyes met. Again, it looked like he was avoiding me. It is likely that Ustad Fariz felt uncomfortable when Pak Budi or Bik Siti would tease him back by using myself as their joke material. If they find out Ustad Fariz is staring at me. But I understand what Bik Siti and Pak Budi do, the action is just to break the silence and melt the atmosphere to make it look more colorful.

As my eyes went around looking at the expressions on the faces of everyone around me. Abi then said stop my sight.

"Ran, after this Mr. Gondrong and Mr. Hadi will meet with Rani to discuss all the inheritance assets belonging to Rani. At once we will find a house that Rani will live in after Rani does not live in our house, later Rani can choose which one Rani thinks is suitable according to Rani's wishes. But if Abi may ask can Rani stay for a little longer until Rafa is married to Wirda.At least so that Ummah does not feel very sad after the departure of Rani, and if Rafa is married to Wirda. Wirda will stay with us so that Ummah's heart can be tempted a little to leave Rani leave our home. How's kiddo ?Do you want to?" Abi asked as he looked at me.

I was silent for a moment while thinking.

Actually in my heart, I want to get out of the house Imandar family residence immediately.But by looking at the facial expressions of Ummah,Abi and Enjid. Finally I paled my intention and tried to give me a little leeway to stay for a while in the house of Ustad Fariz.At least I did this little thing to make Ummah happy that I had considered like my mother by oneself. With a small smile I looked at Ummah and said, "Yes Abi. Rani will stay until Wirda comes to the house of the Abi family to be the daughter-in-law of the Imandar family as well as his wife Kak Rafa,only then will Rani go out to invite Bik Siti and Pak Budi to move to Rni's choice house to live Rani's new life next," I said slowly and softly.

Ummah smiled happily as well as Abi, Enjid, Kak Rafa and others. And as usual Ummah hugged my body tightly and landed a kiss on my forehead. "God, thank you, dear. Ummah was very happy to hear it, "saying Ummah while holding my cheek with both hands.

After that we all enjoyed the food and drinks that were available on the table, while occasionally listening to jokes and jokes thrown by Bik Siti, Kak Rafa and also Pak Budi.

Every now and then I glanced at Ustad Fariz who was just speechless and smiling little without saying much. Ustad Fariz will always keep his head down and his eyes down when our eyes meet again. In the corner of my heart I felt something a little different from Ustad Fariz's gaze and attitude towards me, but I tried to throw that feeling away. With the thought of maybe Ustad Fariz not comfortable if people make themselves into material joking with me. Where do I know Ustad Fariz is a very serious person and very different from Kak Rafa who prefers to joke even though his body looks so very sturdy and stocky.

The sunlight began to gradually rise, its rays illuminating the existence of all of us who were gathering.

The Bayu is more often tempting by stroking his coolness gently.

Everything felt different from my perspective which now looks more colorful with the absence of darkness that has been accompanying me.

Allahumma inni asaluka nafsan bika muthmainnah, tu’minu biliqoika wa tardho bi qodhoika wataqna’u bi ’athoika.

O God, I ask You for a quiet soul, who believes in meeting You and accepts what is Your grace and is willing to Your provision, I said softly in my heart while looking at the happy faces of the best people around me right now.
