God's Choice of Mate

Unexpectedly.

Ummah rubbed my head slowly, where I was still lying on the patient's bed. An infusion hose was attached to my wrist with my khimarku still exposed to bloodstains.

"Son, please ask Bik Siti to be sent by Mr. Budi to take a change of clothes for Rani. Pity to see the khimar and its robe exposed to a lot of blood stains, "the pinta Ummah to Ustad Fariz.

"Well Ummah, " replied Ustad Fariz who immediately rushed out the IGD room.

While outside the IGD room, Ustad Fariz immediately conveyed what was asked by Ummah to Bik Siti and Pak Budi.

"Oh yes, Enjid and Abi should go with Mr. Budi and Bik Siti to go home and rest , let Fariz and Ummah take care of Rani here, " said Ustad Fariz.

"Yes already then, but now Enjid wants to see the state of Rani first before going home, " said Enjid.

"Abi too, "sahut abi.

Then Enjid and Abi walked into the IGD room to see my condition.

"Enjid did not suspect that Aisha's actions could have resulted in Rani in her current position. "

Enjid walked up to me, who was lying on the patient's bed, and he placed his right hand on my head covered in khimar cloth with many blood stains.

"Amsihil ba’sa rabbannaasi biyadikas syifa’u laa kaasyifa lahu illa anta.

Eliminate the pain, O Lord of men, in Your hands is all healing, and no one can reveal the disease but You, " said Enjid while praying for me.

"Ummah, later after Rani realized immediately Ummah called the doctor and asked as a whole whether the torn wound and impact on her head affected the condition of Rani's eyes, " Abi said.

Ummah looked worried listening to the words of Abi.

Abi who saw anxiety in the look on his face Ummah immediately rubbed gently on Ummah's back to calm his wife.

"Ummah no need to worry, we just pray that Rani is in good condition. The words that abi conveyed were only to make sure that Rani was in a really good condition, " said Abi trying to calm Ummah.

Ummah nodded with his feelings that were still not calm thinking about my situation.

"Well, with Fariz here first. Abi and will accompany Enjid to go home, after that Abi will come back here with Bik Siti and Pak Budi, "Abi told Ummah.

"Yes Bi.Be careful. If Abi is tired, Abi better rest, let Ummah, Fariz and Bik Siti also Mr. Budi who accompanied Rani here, " said Ummah.

"Yes Ummah later Abi see the situation, if possible Abi try to return here. But Abi asked Ummah not to overthinking well. Leave everything to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, "pinta Abi.

Not long after, Abi and Enjid came out of the IGD room and alternated with Bik Siti and Pak Budi who saw my condition.

"Oh Allah, Son of Rani why did it come to this end, hiks.... "

Bik Siti's crying broke seeing my condition, for fear of disturbing myself Ummah asked Bik Siti to come out until her crying did not explode hysterically.

Given the time is getting late, then Mr. Budi, Bik Siti, Enjid and Abi immediately go home. Ustad Fariz and Ummah accompanied me in the IGD room.

***

Last night Ummah and Bik Siti accompanied me inside the IGD room, while Ustad Fariz and Pak Budi waited outside. The next morning after I woke up the doctor checked my condition and made sure there were no medical indications of harm to me. Ummah also did not forget to ask about my situation regarding what was ordered by Abi.

The doctor then requested that for 2-3 days I undergo hospitalization so that my condition improved and see if there was a serious impact that occurred after a few days during the recorvery period. Ummah and Ustad Fariz don't mind that either.

A few nurses moved me to the hospital room. Arriving at the Ummah inpatient room, Bik Siti assisted the nurse to change my clothes that were dirty with blood stains. After that Ummah fed me food given by the hospital and gave me medicine that I should immediately drink on the advice of the doctor.

"How are you now, dear, "asked Ummah while rubbing my head.

"Alhamdulilah Ummah much better, only pain and pain in the head, " said slowly.

"Yes, son, it's pain due to the sewing and impact that hit your head, son. Yes, after taking medicine Rani back to rest yes, so that Rani's condition is much better and back to health again, " said Ummah with his eyes that said.

I looked at Ummah with a bad feeling for making her sad.

" Ummah forgive Rani, for always inconveniencing Ummah and Ummah family, "my words while holding Ummah's hand.

" Rani why talk like that. Ummah doesn't like to hear it. Ummah sincerely can take care of Rani, after all this happened not because of Rani's fault, dear," said Ummah holding my cheek.

I was silent looking at the face of Ummah who looked at me gently, then Bik Siti chimed in the words of Ummah.

"Yes Nak Rani. What Princess said was right. Nak Rani should not feel shy or bad to Miss Princess. Now Nak Rani just focus on the recovery of Nak Rani ya Nak, "sahut Bik Siti while rubbing my head.

I said nothing and just nodded.

Not long later Ustad Fariz entered with Pak Budi with a lot of food parcels. Then Ustad Fariz asked Ummah and Bik Siti to eat.

When Ummah, Bik Siti and Pak Budi were eating. Ustad Fariz then moved closer to me by sitting on a chair near the patient bed where I was leaning.

"How is the Rani Deck now?, "asked Ustad Fariz.

"Alhamdulillah, much better Ustad, "I replied.

"Alhamdulillah, I am glad to hear the Dek Rani, " said Ustad Fariz while thinking of something.

While Ummah, Bik Siti and Pak Budi who were eating seemed to try to find out what Ustad Fariz told me.

"I forgive you for the actions that Ukhti Aisyah did to you Dek Rani. It is my fault, so Ukhti Aisyah vented her disappointment, anger and frustration to Dek Rani," said Ustad Fariz with a sorry face .

I fell silent as I glanced at Ustad Fariz who was slightly bowed.

Ustad Fariz did not budge either, as if he thought of something that made his heart and mind so heavy as to reveal it to me. Then with courage I asked Ustad Fariz what was damning his heart.

" I'm sorry, Ustad what makes Ustad Fariz look like he's thinking something. Rani saw Ustad Fariz looking so riled up like that?, "manyou glanced at Ustad Fariz.

Ustad Fariz was a little jolted at my words. He seemed to be trying to answer my question, but his facial expression looked puzzled to start the conversation by talking to me.

I waited quietly for Ustad Fariz to answer my question.

Not long after that the door to the room I was being treated in was opened.

"Assalamu'alaikum, "said the voices of several people together.

"Wa'alaikumussalam warohmatulohi wabarokatuh, "i replied and everyone who was in this room together.

"O Allah Rani!, "cried the voice of Wirda approaching me.

Wirda's tears spilled along with Auntie Warti who walked with him.

"I was really surprised Ran. Hear from Abi and Enjid, if you are in the hospital in this condition, hiks... I really did not expect that Brother Aisyah could do this to you Ran, "Wirda said in tears.

"Wirda. Thank God I am okay now. Forgive me for making you anxious and interrupting your rest with Rafa, "I said I felt bad.

"You said what Ran was supposed to say, I was rumored about your situation last night. Me and Rafa were late for information about your situation Ran, " said Wirda while holding my fingers.

I sighed while looking at Wirda.

"It's okay Wir, God willing I'm fine. After all you just held a party event ngunduh mantu, and surely you and Rafa Kak are tired. Better you two quality time by spending and enjoying your time with Kak Rafa, so don't think too much of myself Wirda. Here many take care of me, so you do not have to worry about me, "I asked Wirda.

Wirda still disagreed with my suggestion, he continued to cry seeing my situation.Kak Rafa also tried to calm Wirda as well as myself.

Meanwhile Aunt Warti and Om Akmal spoke with Ummah and Bik Siti recounted the chronology of the bloody events that left me injured. And on the other hand I saw Ustad Fariz with Abi, Enjid and Pak Budi talking about something important, and I had no idea what they were talking about.

Then I focused again on talking to Wirda and Rafa.

" Rafa and Wirda, you two should immediately get ready for your honeymoon departure.Where in a few hours the plane that will take you to Switzerland will take off. I beg you two not to worry too much about my situation God willing I will be fine , for there is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who keeps me always and there is no best guard of Allah Ta'ala against His creatures. So now it's better that Rafa and Wirda hurry up before they miss the plane, "persuade me.

Wirda and Rafa looked hard to leave me in this condition, but after I asked earnestly and persuaded them they both finally wanted to fulfill my request, and soon Rafa and Wirda left the room where I was being treated to rush to the airport for their honeymoon departure .Meanwhile Aunt Warti and Om Akmal also after saying hello and praying will also help take the departure of Wirda and Rafa.

After the departure of Rafa, Wirda and her parents. Ummah, Abi, Enjid, Pak Budi and Bik Siti came closer to me.

Ummah rubbed my head again slowly.

" Ran, there is something important that we want to tell you, hopefully you do not misunderstand and can accept it wisely without any coercion and intimidation" Ummah said.

I slightly scrunched my forehead to hear the words of Ummah, and felt very curious to know what important things Ummah would say to me.

Then, Abi called Ustad Fariz who was sitting alone on the sofa waiting for the patient, his face looked tense.

I just keep on being deep in my heart, what is this. Looking towards my surroundings.

Ustad Fariz walked slowly, offering the do'a in his heart to Allah Ta'ala.

Allahumma innaka taqdiru wa laa aqdiru wa laa a’lamu wa anta ‘allaamul ghuyuubi. Fa in ra’aita li fii Nur'aini azzahra binti the late Sugeng Widiyanto khiran fi fini wa aakhirati faqdirhaa lii.

O Allah, Thou art Destined, and I am not the Destined One. And (You) Knoweth what I know not. You are Knowing of the Unseen. So if you see the goodness between me and Nur'aini azzahra bint the late Sugeng Widiyanto for my religion and the hereafter, then do not do me with him.

Ustad Fariz looked so tense but not with everyone looking happy and happy. I wondered more and more in my heart about what really happened to everyone around me.

In the silence of Ustad Fariz.

Abi then invited Ustad Fariz to immediately convey what his intentions and goals were.

DEG....

My heart was also pounding and tense.

However, Ummah slowly approached me while holding my shoulder while rubbing it gently.

And also Bik Siti who keeps throwing her distinctive smile indicates something will happen.

I'm getting tense in my heartbeat.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, by calling the name of Allah the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful, witnessed by Abi, Ummah, Enjid, Pak Budi and Bik Siti. I want to learn to know you openly, even without a courtship but have a definite purpose, which is to the level of marriage, if Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala allows Him. O you sister Nur'aini azzahra bint the late Sugeng Widiyanto are willing to marry me Fariz Syarfan Imandar, to be a companion and consummation of my worship in traveling this life to his paradise later, God willing with you, " ustad Fariz said to me.

My heart is racing back.

DAGS.. DIGS.. DUG....

I was speechless and shocked to hear Ustad Fariz asking myself to be his future wife.

It felt like a hard dream to distinguish between real and illusory.

It all feels so fast, though,

as fast as the flow of my blood flowing in my long breath that felt a little tight in the thump.

Everyone was smiling looking at me and Ustad Fariz, and impatiently waiting for the answer I was about to give in my shock.
