God's Choice of Mate

Talk to Ustad Fariz.

"Is Dek Rani okay, "asked Ustad Fariz who said to me as I passed her to put my face on the shelf in the corner of the wall.

My steps came to a halt, turning slightly towards Ustad Fariz and nodding my head. Ustad Fariz also showed a face full of relief while expressing his gratitude. "Thank God, I'm glad to hear that. I hope that while at Wirda's house, Dek Rani can take good care of herself, and not repeat such actions that can endanger the safety of Dek Rani, he said, because it caused anxiety and worry in my heart. "

"Iya Ustad, Jazakallah kairan katsiran for his reminders. God willing I will take care of myself as well as possible, for that Ustad Fariz does not have to worry and worry about me. I hope from now on Ustad Fariz no longer needs to worry about me, because it really makes Rani feel bad, because Rani becomes always and continues to trouble Ustad Fariz non-stop."

My gaze then glanced towards Ustad Fariz who was stunned hearing the words from me.

"Why does Dek Rani say that?. "

"Indeed like that the truth of Ustad, since the arrival of Rani in Ustad's life, Rani only became a burden and always inconvenienced Ustad non-stop. For that please forgive Rani Ustad for making Ustad just focus to always help Rani out of trouble, so Ustad Fariz himself to forget the life and priorities of Ustad's life goals. "

When I said that to Ustad Fariz it felt like my heart was in pain, because what I said was just the opposite of the desire that was in my little heart. I'm really happy to find Ustad Fariz talking to me again like this, especially if he's always around me and always helps me in my difficulties. But I don't want Ustad Fariz to continue to pity me, with his pity and sympathy. Ustad Fariz had the right to think about his life, especially with Sister Aisyah who was so close to him and stretched because of my arrival in the life of Ustad Fariz and Ukhti Aisyah which I now call Kak Aisyah more often.

Ustad Fariz looked sad with my words, he was silent while looking at me who was walking to put the face and prayer mat on the shelf in the corner of the wall.

As I was about to walk out of the musholla at Wirda's house, Ustad Fariz followed in my footsteps from behind.

"Can we talk for a minute Dek Rani?, "he said which surprised me.

I looked back.

DEG....

My heart beat fast and fast as our eyes clashed, and quickly Ustad Fariz and I lowered our eyes.

I was speechless trying to neutralize the strong thump in my chest, but the thump remained, as if not wanting to pass in from my chest and silent while continuing to spur a strange feeling that caused the vibration of electricity that spread throughout my body.

"How about Dek Rani, can we talk for a minute?, "asked Ustad Fariz again. I was at a loss to accept or reject the request of Ustad Fariz who wanted to speak to me. In the anxiety I felt, I reflexively just nodded my head slowly, and I saw Ustad Fariz looking happy.

"We are talking in the park next to the Musholla just Dek Rani, because the place is shaded and also open" said Ustad Fariz.

I nodded slowly without saying. Then I walked first to the park followed by Ustad Fariz behind me. Arriving in the park I immediately sat on a white wooden chair facing directly on the large window glass Musholla, which in front of the glass there is a garden landscape and combined with a fish pond. Then Ustad Fariz sat on one of the wooden chairs near me with a round table of brown wood separating us. Cool and beautiful I feel here enjoying the colorful koi fish dance that is in action to welcome me and Ustad Fariz. My oral wanted to speak to Ustad Fariz immediately, but he first began the conversation by chanting fragments for the fragmentation of the Holy verses of the Quran to me. I did not understand and understood what the actions of Ustad Fariz meant, but I was always drugged whenever Ustad Fariz chanted the words of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with the melodious and beautiful rhythm of his voice, my heart also became calm and calm.

"Wa min ayatihi an khalaqa lakum min anfusikum azwajal litaskunu ilaiha wa ja'ala bainakum mawaddataw wa rahmah, inna fi zalika la'ayatil liqaumiy yatafakkarun.

Meaning: Among His signs (greatness) is that He created pairs for you of (kind) yourself so that you would feel at ease with him. He makes among you love and affection. Verily in this are signs (of the greatness of Allah) for the thinking people.

The Qur'an of Ar Rum verse 21" said Ustad Fariz, looking at me.

Then, Ustad Fariz chanted the Word of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to me.

"Wa min kulli syai'in khalaqna zaujaini la'allakum tazakkarun.

Meaning: All things We created are in pairs for you to remember (the greatness of God).

The Quran of Az Zariyat verse 49."

"Innal-lazina amanu wa ‘amilus-salihati sayaj'alu lahumur-rahmanu wudda.

Meaning: Verily for those who believe and do good deeds, (God) the Most Merciful will instill their love (in the heart).

The Quran Maryam's letter verse 96."

"MasyaAllah Tabarakallah, "my words are soft and easy to enjoy the beauty of every chant of the Holy Quran and its meaning spoken by Ustad Fariz to me.

So with my curiosity, for what reason Ustad Fariz laid the Word of God before me, then by looking at Ustad Fariz who was silent thinking of something. I just asked him.

Ustad Fariz fell silent while looking at the koi fish swimming in the pond. And for a while I waited, finally Ustad Fariz said.

"Al-Qur’an is the life guide of Muslims, which in it explains about all the laws to the way how we behave in everything addressing aspects of life.That is where in some fragments of letters that I read in front of the Deck Rani,

explain the love and compassion that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gives to the heart of every human being.

A feeling of love given by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to make one's life feel in happiness and peace.However, happiness and peace it will be more meaningful, when the love we give and show to fellow living beings is based on the intention of worshiping Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, because it will bear rewards for us who practice it. Because I expect to be ridho of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala," said Ustad Fariz.

I was silent about every word Ustad Fariz gave me. However, my heart and mind were not yet well connected to digest the essence of every word that Ustad Fariz had spoken to me. I glanced at Ustad Fariz who seemed to want to speak to me again. However, his wish came to a halt when suddenly Brother Aisyah appeared before me and Ustad Fariz .

"Afwan, Ustad can drive me home and we'll have a look at the best wedding organizers for Dek Rafa and Dek Wirda's wedding, given the time for the wedding and the reception was so short, " Brother Aisyah looked at the silent Ustad Fariz.

"How is Ustad?, " asked Aisha impatiently.

"Can Ukhti Aisyah wait a little while, because I will finish my conversation first to Dek Rani, then after that we will discuss about the wedding organizer, " replied Ustad Fariz.

However, I saw that Brother Aisyah seemed to disagree with the proposal of Ustad Fariz.

"Afwan, Ustad I think it would be better if we leave now. After all this was more important than Ustad Fariz's talk with Dek Rani, " said Kak Aisyah with a cold face expression looking at me.

I also heard Brother Aisyah talking like that feeling bad and very uncomfortable, so I immediately invited Ustad Fariz to go along with Brother Aisyah. At first Ustad Fariz refused, but after I gave my understanding. Finally he complied with my request, to go directly with Brother Aisyah. Then I also looked at the face of Aisyah whose face water changed immediately showing a sense of happiness.

When Ustad Fariz and Ayesha were about to walk away from me, suddenly Ummah came with Wirda and asked Ustad Fariz. "Where are you going, son."

ustad Fariz quickly said .If he and Kak Aisyah will go see the best wedding organizer services to immediately be able to organize and handle the wedding of Kak Rafa and also Wirda, as well as take Kak Aisyah home afterwards. Hearing that Ummah immediately reacted to participate along with Ustad Fariz and Aisyah. Ustad Fariz smiled at Ummah's desire to participate with him, and welcomed the Ummah's wish. But on the contrary, when I turned my face to look at Aisyah, her facial expression, which originally looked happy, now became moody and looked disappointed. After he heard Ummah would come along with himself and Ustad Fariz to go together, and without delay, Ustad Fariz and Ummah immediately walked to the courtyard of Wirda's house and rushed to the car, after which they both said goodbye to me and Wirda, while Aisyah walked to follow Ummah and Ustad Fariz from behind with her facial expression still bowed limp and disappointed.

And not long after that all members of the Imandar family returned from the residence of Wirda.

***

The night had arrived, Wirda and I were busy chatting about the wedding that would soon be held. Wirda told me that at this time he was nervous and tense and did not expect that soon he would be joined by his wife Kak Rafa.

I also listened to all the spills of feelings that Wirda poured out on me, because seeing him happy like that also made me feel good to see him.

And while Wirda and I were chatting . My memories are repeated of Rere with the man in the wheelchair, which made me hit by a car because I was so curious, so I immediately told all the chronology of events I experienced and saw to Wirda and also told Wirda. If true the man who was with Rere was very familiar, and similar to Kak Roy. Wirda who heard my story was also surprised and shocked it turns out what he felt was also the same as I felt.We both thought to each other, is it possible if it was Kak Roy. But sometimes the thought goes away, because we both know that Kak Roy is dead. However, on the other side of my heart and Wirda also questioned how the man who was with Rere was similar to Kak Roy. We both got confused and kept thinking about it. " That's what I suspect of Rere ,Ran.Still remember you Ran, when we were all preaching at the Auntie Warti residence, at that time I really watched and saw if Rere's face did not look sad about the passing of Kak Roy. And at that moment I sensed that there was something she was hiding from all of us. Surely we all know Ran, how Rere was very crazy and obsessed with Kak Roy .Then suddenly when the man he loved so much was no longer in this world . Rere did not show a sad or lost facial expression at all, and it was very strange Ran.Then from there I started to put a very big suspicious feeling towards Rere. Especially when you see it with a man who you say is similar to Kak Roy or maybe it is true Kak Roy ya Ran, "wirda said with a slightly glared and surprised facial expression.

I was silent for a moment thinking about Wirda's words and then trying to make Wirda not think negatively. Especially in a moment, he will get married. So I tried to say a word that made his heart not think about this for a while.

"But where is Wirda. The dead man could suddenly live again, maybe I was the one who saw it wrong and maybe the man just happened to be similar to Roy, because I didn't see it too clearly. That's why I got out of the car to get to Rere and see the truth about who that man is whether it's Kak Roy or not, but because I was in a hurry and got hit by a car ,finally Rere and the man who looked like Kak Roy had moved away from where I had originally seen them, "I told Wirda who looked still surprised and thought.

So seeing that Wirda was still thinking about Rere, I tried to make her relax and asked her to focus on her wedding.

"Yes already Wirda, you do not have to think about this for a while, because the most important thing is that we focus on the wedding ceremony and your wedding reception first yes. I don't want you to think too much of what will make you tense up and not look beautiful at the wedding, "my words tease Wirda by trying to melt the atmosphere.

Wirda smiled too. " You could be Ran.Oh yes Ran, I was curious to know what you were talking about alone with Kak Fariz?, "wirda asked curiously.

Hearing Wirda's question I was jolted into shock, which made me silent with a thumping feeling of not

restrained when Wirda mentioned the name Ustad Fariz before me.

Wirda looked at me seriously and tried to look at the feeling I was feeling. Wirda smiled slightly as she pinched my cheek gently. I was getting tense and awkward, afraid that Wirda could guess what I was feeling right now.

Huft....

I took a breath to compose the word.
