God's Choice of Mate

Grandpa went home

"Down!," said Brother Reno harshly.

I glanced at him briefly.

"You heard no, I said get off now.You can continue on foot to school.Already lucky to get a free ride," he said with a grumble.

Without looking at him I immediately got down from his car.Akh, I had expected from the beginning.Where maybe a bad man like himself can turn into a good man in an instant, my inner heart.

I kept walking and left the car behind me.

TIINN....TIINN....

The sound of the car horn shocked me,

I looked back.Kak Reno opened the window of his car, and,

"Hey, if the road had gone!not in the middle, do you want to get hit!," he said rudely.

Brother Reno's car drove away from me.

"Knee..Ran,"say someone.

I looked towards the source of the voice that called my name.See from a distance a girl who is no stranger to me was waving a hand calling me.

"Wirda..," I said.

He also walked up to me.

"Ran, I'm sitting by the side of the road" he said.

"Akh, it's nothing Wir," I said.

"Ran, your head and your lips why," he said worriedly.

"Oh, nothing Wir, just fell down."

"But how come it's like that Ran," Wirda said while gently holding my bandage.

"Akh, nothing Wir.Alhamdulillah I do not mind Wir," I replied with a smile.

"Seriously nih Ran," he said a little hesitantly.

I smiled a little while nodding.

"Yes already then Ran, yuk together to the same school I was.Masih far away Ran," said Wirda.

"Later to take care of you Wir" I said.

"Any kayak the same who is Ran,ayo!," Wirda asked while holding my hand.

After that, Wirda and I rushed to his car and headed to school.

***

Arriving at school me and Wirda down in front of the gate.Then we continued our steps to the classroom.Not how long Kak Roy approached me,

"Ran, are you new nyampe?not just you..," said Kak Roy who interrupted his sentence because Wirda chimed in,

"Eh Kak Roy,"wirda as he continued his words,"Yes nih kak, so I met Rani on the side of the road again pensive.Untung Wirda saw that it could not be too late Rani entered school," explained Wirda.

"Huh?by the way?," said Roy a little surprised and then continued his words, "Not Rani just together..".

I cut off Roy's conversation right away,

"Sorry brother we first go to class," I said as I pulled Wirda away.

Brother Roy was silent to see me with a questionable face that was clearly drawn on his face.

Arriving at class, I went straight to my seat, but I was so surprised when I saw a red rose decorated with a purple ribbon on my desk.

Wirda who saw also said,

"Cieeeeee..from nih ye's secret admirer,"goda Wirda.

"What the heck Wir, wrong send tuh people maybe Wir, do not-don't for you Wir," said my reply tease.

"Akh can aja Ran, you ngelesnya.Mana I see Ran, who knows there is the name of the sender,"said Wirda while examining the flower by looking for clues to the sender.Suddenly his fingers stopped guerrilla and managed to find small pieces of cards tucked, tucked away,

"Well, let's see from whom.

Simple and tough girl I know.Keep radiating a radiance of kindness will be sincere and holy atmu.Because I know you are different from the others.

I always wanted to flap my wings to always take care of you.

Roy."

Wirda read it with great interest.

"Cieeeeee...from Kak Roy, the secret admirer of Rani.Ehemmmmm..so sweet Ran," said Wirda who continues to tease me.

"Astaghfirullah Wir, have not said that again Wir.Ngak good at hearing others.Malu Wir," said I begged Wirda.

Wirda who saw my face look serious finally stopped teasing me.

I sat back in silence in the rotation of my mind.What should I say to Brother Roy,oh God if my life is not this complicated I want to live my normal life as it was, that is, there is only me and my mother with my efforts in achieving all my dreams to make my mother happy,everything has changed so quickly, my inner heart.Then I continued to pray that God would make my affairs easier,

"Robbanaa'aatinaa miladunka rohmatan,wahayyi'lanaa min amrinaa rosyadaa.Yang means O Allah, give us the Mercy of Your sides, and perfect us this righteous guidance in our affairs.Aamiin ya Robbal'alamiin," said I wirih.

TEETT'S.....TEETT

The sound of the school bell rang, it was time to go home.I rushed to tidy up my school supplies.I can't wait to see my mother and see her situation.Wirda then took me, and took me,

"Ran, did I drive you home?"asked me.

"No need for Wir" I said.

"No need to Wir," I said slowly.

I also pulled Wirda's hand slowly while stepping out of the classroom.Not how long later Wirda and I had arrived at the school parking lot.

"Ran, I really don't want to take you with me" Wirda asked.

"Yes Wir" I replied firmly.

"Yes already then, I go home first Ran.Assalamu'alaikum," said Wirda passed.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," I replied with a smile towards Wirda.

After Wirda got into his car and passed away.I then stepped towards the school gate.Yet again Kak Reno came suddenly and pulled my hand towards his car.

"It hurts.let go," I thrashed.

But he still did not touch my moans.He still pulled me and pushed my body into his car.

I sat down, then he quickly closed the car door and rushed in.

"What do you really want?" I asked Reno.

With a ketus he also replied, "Udah diem do not need to be noisy.Many girls who want to sit in my car this.You are also lucky to be able to sit here."

"Astaghfirullah," I said slowly.

"Wear the seatbelt, remember it.You need me to help you again" he said with a slight grin at me.

"No, I can do it myself" I said.

"Good then," he said flatly and he said again, "And remember today grandfather will return home,so be sweet with me.Remember we just pretend in front of grandfather only.Moreover never expect more to me.You understand it not!," he said ketus.

What a silent thing.How does Brother Reno think if I expect all this and like it,astaghfirullah, I said in my heart.

Then Kak Reno's car drove to his house.

***

Arriving at the house of Reno Kak.All family members have gathered.Ada Bu Sri,Pak Sugeng, Kakek and Mbak Riska.

They all welcomed me and Reno.

"Rani, grandfather's granddaughter," said Grandpa hugging me.

"Yes cake, Alhamdulillah grandfather is healthy now," I said with happiness.

"Yes son, all thanks to the do'a-do'a of you all and the presence of Rani in this house in particular" said the grandfather.

Then Grandfather hugged Brother Reno.All seemed dissolved in happiness.

Madam Sri approached me,

"How is your daughter now," she said, holding my chin gently.

"Alhamdulillah good Ma'am.ehh.ma," I replied.

Madam Sri smiled to see me,

"Yes already Rani change clothes first yes son.After that we eat together.In syaAllah afternoon or evening mama will invite Rani to visit mother."

"Akhh, really ma," I said in disbelief.

"Yes dear," replied Bu Sri while stroking my head.

Ms. Riska came up to me to take me to my room,

"Let's Ran, take it to the deck's room," she said, holding my hand.

I also did not refuse because my heart felt very happy because it would meet with the mother.Seturnya on the top floor Mbak Riska took me to another room, and I was very happy,

"Where are we going,"tanyaku.

"To Rani's room" replied Mrs Riska.

"Isn't Rani in Riska's room?" I was curious.

"No deck, from now on Rani has her own room, yes" said Ms Riska while pulling me slowly.

"Not together with Ma'am Riska aja mbak?,"tanyaku.

"No deck, this is the order of mama, papa and grandfather.So that Rani freely have her own room," he said with a smile while pressing the button on the elevator to go to the next floor.

I was silent in the elevator.And suddenly the elevator door opened.Mbak Riska invites me out, and,

"Well, it has arrived" said Ms Riska while holding me walking.

Me and Ms. Riska stepped into the room that I would occupy.So very spacious this house, my inner.

Not long ago Ms. Riska opened the transparent door and invited me in.

"Ran, who is on the left side of the room Rani yes deck.Sekalgus facing Reno room in front of him," explained Ms Riska to me.

My heart immediately became so very surprised.Not long later there was the sound of the door opening.It turns out Brother Reno came out of the door of his room.He waved his hand and smiled at me.

Akh, what other plans will he play this time, I thought.

My face was pale and stiff, Sister Reno seemed to have known all this.He seemed happy to see my face expression.

Slowly he walked towards me and Madam Riska.

With her smile full of mystery and allusion to her veiled intentions.

O Lord, help me.My silence.
