God's Choice of Mate

Farewell

Not long after the big family Suprapto held a study for the late mother now arrived Kak Reno who will go to study at one of the famous boarding schools in the country.He will stay away from his family for a long time.

Tonight is his last night at home.Siras Bu Sri looks swollen because of crying.He still seems powerless to separate away from his favorite boy.But after all he still tried hard and strong in the in front of everyone.

I stood pulled over on the second floor porch of their house.Witnessing them to take off Brother Reno from a distance only.I deliberately did so that I did not disturb the intimacy of their family.

Cold air ambushed my body.

The wind plays khimarku slowly.

Calm and shady in silence until I did not realize the gift prayer beads from Kak Roy I always held.

So glorify my speech gently praising the greatness of the Creator.

"Subhanallah walhamdulillah walailaha illallah wallahu akbar (Holy o Allah, praise be to Allah there is no God but Allah and Allah is Most Great)."

"La ilaha illa anta Subhanaka Inni kuntu Minazhzhhalimin (There is no God but You, Most Holy You are indeed I am a person who wrongs himself)."

So good is my mind that I do not realize the arrival of Brother Reno who has been beside me.

I was surprised when I opened my eyes and looked to the side.

Hufhhh.....

Our eyes meet again.

This time his face was so close to me.

We were silent for a moment until I slowly pushed myself slowly to shift back away from him.

But he quickly pulled my hand.At the same time as a stream of electricity grabbed my body.

Gggggg.......

My heart was pounding again as her sharp and big eyes looked at me deeply.

"Ran.

I looked towards him.

"What's wrong?," I coldly let go of his hand.

"Can we talk for a minute"he asked softly.

"Alright,"return.

Not long after he gave me a beautifully decorated prayer roll.

"Ran, please accept this," while thrusting it at me.

"For Rani?,"we were a little surprised.

Brother Reno stuttered.

"What's the reason Reno gave Rani a prayer mat,"you want to know.

He smiled as if this was the question he wanted to hear from my mouth.

"So that when Rani salat , this prayer can be a reminder of Rani to brother.If there is a do'a tucked for brother and always remind Rani of goodness."

I looked at her in astonishment and puzzlement.Since when did Sister Reno become like this I murmured inwardly.

"Why did Reno do all this?wh-wh-what for?and what do you want Reno to try to prove?, "you're sharp.

"Love Ran.ya love that makes a sister like this.Because brother loves you," he explained with earnestness.

"Love?all of a sudden?, "do I doubt.

"This is the name of the gift of Ran.And it is not a mistake if the brother loves you Ran.In reality you are my wife Ran even though we are married because of coercion and betel.But my love is lawful to you," he replied confidently.

I was shocked to hear his answer.

My tongue is weak, my body feels stiff.

His gaze made me unable to say.Never have I seen the look on his face so deep and gentle.

I drew my hand slowly and approached his face at my khimar.

She whispered to me.

"I want to love you because of Allah Ran" he said gently as he rubbed my head slowly.

The night wind drugged the silence.

Breaking the sound of splashing leaves.Shahdu in playing the feelings of two different servants.

 

The next day I was with the whole family Suprapto will take Kak Reno to the boarding house of his choice.

Everyone is getting ready and waiting for Reno to come down.

Not long after Reno went down he looked different wearing a white long-sleeved cocoa suit decorated with gray embroidery and black trousers and his head wearing a similar skullcap.

The parasite is more radiant and earthy like not the previous Reno Sister I know.She smiled they were happy I did not see the slightest look of sadness on his face.

I was a little stunned to see him for a moment and tried to convince myself that he was Brother Reno.

The boy who evolved with lightning became a manly figure of wisdom in the glint of an eye.

"Masya Allah, the son of a handsome mother," said Bu Sri stroked the face of Kak Reno.

Brother Reno replied to Bu Sri with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Cieeeee.the ingredients are couplean nih same Rani,"go Mbak Riska.

Me and Brother Reno glanced at each other.

It turned out that I just realized the color of our clothes was in line.

"The name is Mba's soul mate.because of sehati,"celtuk Kak Reno.

"Hmmmmmm...cieeeee...lt....iya ....

sehati..,"reply Mbak Riska teases.

Mr. Sugeng, Bu Sri and Grandpa smiled.

"Let's have a joke, we leave now so as not to get stuck," the grandfather rushed.

Mr. Budi looked back and forth preparing the items to be taken.Everyone rushed out to the car we were going to ride.

"Mahs, mamma....Reno left with Rani, yes" she said quickly as she pulled my hand into her car.

Everyone looks and smiles.

I who look confused can only be silent and obey Brother Reno enter his car.

He opened the car door so I could go in and sit in front of him driving.

Plegggg......

Quickly the car closed and he rushed in anyway.

So he quickly helped me wear the seat belt.I was spontaneously flabbergasted by his actions.

Again our eyes meet.

The world stopped turning.

Srrrrrrrrrrr........

My body feels like it's getting electrocuted again.

Why me?my inner.

I try to take my eyes off her.

"I can wear it myself, brother," I replied slowly.

But he kept the seat belt.

"Hmmmmm.

With a little nervous I thanked him.

Not how long the car drove to the boarding school that will be the place where Kak Reno studied religion.

Arriving at the destination of Kak Reno's car has arrived first compared to the car driven by Pak Budi.

The car engine stopped right in front of the pesantren cottage yard.

But before getting out of the car I gave a Qur'an to Brother Reno.

"For Reno's sister," I said.

Brother Reno looked at me

"For sister?,"he asked.

I'm nodding.

Brother Reno received the Qur'an my beautiful gift.

So before he asked me a lot.I also explained to him the reason I gave him the Qur'an.

"Hmmm...May this Qur'an be an encouragement, a reminder, and bring kindness to Reno to continue learning and istiqomah in the way of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala," I said slowly.

Brother Reno smiled listening to me.

"Thank you Ran.Al-Qur'an this will be my longing and encouragement to you" he said seriously.

I kept staring at him.

Then he returned my eyes.

"Take care of yourself Ran and big brother entrust all members of our family, especially grandfather and mother, do not let them grieve.Silver believe you.

"One more thing wait and wait for brother until brother is truly worthy and worthy to be your priest" he said in a statement.

I was just stunned speechless.Either what feeling was raging in my heart.

Slowly in his gentle swab of my head, his eyes looked towards me fixedly.

"May God be quick to unite us" he said.

Tok.dok..

The sound of the car window glass rang.See Mr. Budi who was knocking.

Reno opened the window

"Yes sir."

"Mas Reno was told to come out with Mbak Rani called father" said Mr. Budi politely.

"Yes sir," replied Reno.

The two of us got out of the car towards grandfather and the others gathered.

The air is quite hot but gently swept by a gentle breeze from the shade of green trees.

"All the administration and others are done. Reno stayed in and accompanied by Pak kiyai," explained Mr. Sugeng while patting slowly on the shoulder of Kak Reno.

"Thank you for the reward" said Brother Reno while hugging Mr. Sugeng.

"Take care and behave well while here, son," whispered Mr. Sugeng.

"Yes pah,"while nodding.

Then Brother Reno hugged his grandfather, Bu Sri and Mbak Riska.They said a message and gave a farewell sentence.

All looked raced blue in the frame of grief releasing Brother Reno.

Until Reno stopped right in front of me.

"Ran...,"he called me softly.

I turned to him and our eyes met again.Over time he was glued to look at me as well as me.

I don't know what words I should say to her.I feel like my lips are locked in silence.

And once again he gently rubbed my head gently while smiling.

The wind flew the khimarku cloth slowly.As if to say goodbye to Brother Reno.I can only look at him when Pak Kiyai invited Kak Reno into the boarding school.

Slowly but surely Brother Reno stepped his feet confidently.

Trap....

His footsteps grew further away and his shadow disappeared away.

Gggggg.......

The crowd turned silent.

Sayups in hearing are occasionally heard in tears.

Came and then the rupture disappeared in the solar radiance that began to rise.

The sky is bright but looks sad.

Everything suddenly felt empty.

Rumbles in the echoes of silence.

Strange vibrations that lurk in my body.

Quick and suddenly so crowded.

I feel lost and lonely.

My gaze fixated.

For a moment I was petrified.
