God's Choice of Mate

The Suprapto family home.

"Pak Budi, will stop briefly at the mosque secretariat building. The place that Mr. Budi and Dek Rani had taken at that time," said Ustad Faris to Mr. Budi.

"Well, Fariz," said Mr. Budi while focusing on driving.

"Ustad Fariz, do I need to send a driver to pick up Fariz and Pak Budi from the Suprapto family residence?" asked Aisyah while holding her mobile phone.

"Hmm, there is no need to Ukhti Aisyah.Later me and Mr. Budi just take a taxi to return to the hospital," replied Ustad Fariz while checking incoming messages from his mobile phone.

"Then what if Ustad Fariz wants to go anywhere and there is an urgent need?" asked Ukhti Aisyah with a slightly worried face.

Ustad Fariz always put his cell phone in his pocket.

"Ukhti Aisyah need not worry. I was able to contact my sister Rafa to take the car to the hospital. It just so happens that Rafa is currently helping Abi with his efforts" Fariz replied casually.

"Oh means that Dek Rafa has come home or is on holiday ustad Fariz?," asked Aisyah to ustad Fariz.

"Rafa is currently on holiday in the ukhti," replied Ustad Fariz.

"Oh nak Fariz turned out to have a younger brother" asked Mr. Budi while driving.

"Yes sir I have a younger brother" replied Ustad Fariz.

"Still in school or already working for Fariz?" asked Budi inquisitively.

"Hmm, it's working sir," replied Ustad Fariz.

"Was working to help the business owned by Nak Fariz or Nak Fariz's family?" asked Budi again.

"No sir my sister works outside the lines of business people or entrepreneurs pioneered by grandfather," replied Fariz again.

"Then Fariz's sister worked as what profession?," asked Budi wanted to know.

"As a soldier sir,"sohut Fariz's brief.

"Oohhhh, great yes," replied Mr. Budi.

And not long after the car driven by Pak Budi has arrived in front of the mosque secretariat building.

Slowly Ukhti Aisyah got down from the car and said goodbye to ustad Fariz and Pak Budi.

Then after Aisyah down, Pak Budi continued driving to the residence of the Suprapto family home.

Mr. Budi drove the car with a slightly tense face.

There was a hint of anxiety and worry that re-emerged within his heart and mind.

However, once again the advice Fariz had told him began to echo and fill his mind and heart.

Retracts her breath slowly and short to relieve her slightly tired and tight chest.

All his misfortune he resigned and hanged to the power of Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala.

He was completely convinced of God's decision.

The best for him and in particular he was very concerned about my situation.

Occasionally Ustad Fariz looked and looked towards Pak Budi. He seemed to understand the turmoil of anxiety that enveloped Pak Budi's heart. Therefore Fariz's ustad helped calm the heart of Mr. Budi by reading dhikr so that it was heard and followed by Mr. Budi.

"Laa ilaha illallah wahdahu laa syarika. Lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli syai-in qadiir.(Which means: "There is no God but Allah. No allies for Him. His is power and His is praise. He who gives life and who dies. For him is good and He is All-Powerful over all things."

Ustad Fariz read dhikr over and over again in his mellow voice.

Today helps Pak Budi feel calm and peaceful.

"God, whenever I hear Fariz reciting a holy verse, reading a do'a or reciting a dhikr. What a beautiful and melodious voice that Fariz has so makes my hearing senses solemn and feels cool in my heart," said Mr. Budi praising ustad Fariz.

"MasyaAllah tabarakallah Pak Budi. Dhikr does have the power as a stabilizer of the soul that can create peace of mind, sir.

Therefore, Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala is a source of calm and peace (as-Salam) for all of us, especially humans who are not separated from a myriad of problems and sins.

In addition, dhikr is also a way that Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala is always with the people who always practice it (ma’iyyatullah).

Budi sir knows, the one who returns and gives all his affairs to Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala will get calm, peace, and tranquility in his heart,"said Ustad Fariz explained his understanding to Pak Budi with courtesy and soft.

"Yes nak Fariz.Bapak feel the closer the father to Nak Fariz.The understanding of the father's religious knowledge becomes increased.And nak Fariz always reminds the father to surrender and rely on Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala.MasyaAllah, God,thank you very much, son," said Mr. Budi who felt better.

"Yes Budi sir equally.I also still lack knowledge and still have a lot to learn," said Ustad Fariz humbled.

"Son Fariz could have, always, humbled himself" said Mr. Budi.

"I am just an ordinary human being who is despicable sir.And it is not appropriate for me to feel proud of myself.Because of the true knowledge that I obtained all with the permission of Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala so it is inappropriate if I boast or show it off to someone else, "just like Fariz.

"Yes son right.But why yes nak Fariz, sometimes the feeling of uneasiness and uneasiness like to appear suddenly when before the father did not feel that way.How to treat him son?," asked Mr. Budi to ustad Fariz.

"Life is alternating sir, not unlike the wheel that continues to spin there is a pleasure, there is a hard, there is calm and also there is restlessness,one way to treat a restless heart is to pray to Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala for peace of mind.

Because this is highly recommended, even Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala will feel closer to us. If we make ourselves slaves who never get tired of praying.

For indeed, what brings pleasure and also the difficulty of life problems is Allah subhanallahu Wa ta'ala too. And from that, then,it is appropriate for a servant if there is a problem that makes his heart restless and not calm is recommended to come to Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala.But instead listen to music or songs that actually make his heart grow upset and sad.For the devil beguile the gap of weakness of their faith," said Ustad Fariz explained at length to Pak Budi.

And it did not feel that the car driven by Mr. Budi had arrived at the Suprapto family residence.

Mr. Budi looked at ustad Fariz and prepared to go down. But Ustad Fariz stopped Mr. Budi for a while.

"But we pray first before going down so that everything is smooth and there is no problem"ustad Fariz aris told Pak Budi.

Pak Budi also nudged the sign he agreed with the advice of Ustad Fariz.

Then Fariz ustad also read the Qur'an letter of Al-Baqarah verse 250.

"Rabbanaa afrigh ‘alainaa shabran wa tsabbit aqdaamanaa wanshurnaa ‘alal qoumil kaafiriin.(meaning : “Yes our Lord, leave it upon us, and establish our stand and help us against the infidels)."

Then Ustad Fariz said to Mr. Budi,"

After praying with confidence and great servitude to Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala then we scattered to find a solution for our efforts, sir, by asking for the Ridhonya Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala.Let Pak Budi now we come out. Bismillah."

Ustad Fariz invited Mr. Budi to enter the Suprapto family home.

Mr. Budi shut off the car engine.

Then close the door slowly.

With Fariz Pak Budi's ustad set foot towards the entrance to the Suprapto family home.

"Assalamualaikum," said Mr. Budi greeting while pressing the electric bell near the entrance of the house.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," answered someone from inside the house while opening the door".

Czechkkk....

Door opens.

Bik Siti came out the door.

"Where are you going ?why just go home now? Madam, Mr. Sugeng and Mr. Suprapto are all looking for Mr. Budi," said Bik Siti while asking Mr. Budi.

"Hmmm, the story is long bik," replied Mr. Budi briefly.

"This is who is with Mr Budi?and where is Rani's son?" asked Bik Siti while looking back and forth to find a figure of me that she did not find.

Mr. Budi turned towards ustad Fariz.

"I'll explain Bik. But now I have more important business," said Mr. Budi firmly.

Bi Siti was speechless hearing Mr. Budi's words with a very confused face and full of questions.

"Yes let's go in first sir.I call you ladies and gentlemen," said Bik Siti while inviting Mr. Budi and Ustad Fariz into the house.

So Mr. Budi and Ustad Fariz also slowly entered the house.

Bik Siti invited Mr. Budi and Ustad Fariz to sit in the living room.

But no time for Pak Budi and Ustad Fariz to sit.

Grandfather had descended from the stairs and seen their arrival. Then the grandfather walked quickly with an annoyed face mixed with anger towards where Pak Budi and Ustad Fariz were.

"Where have you been, Budi? I just want to go home by noon. I sent an unanswered message. Even I called repeatedly you didn't pick up. You realize no, you're here it works. Your status here as a chauffeur employee of this family .And I am your master, your master. This action of yours is too beyond the limits of a subordinate to his superior. You know the risk of doing this? Huh?," said the grandfather who was very angry with Mr. Budi.

"Why are you silent. Where is the responsibility for the performance of your work to this family. And well where is Rani? Wasn't the last time she was with you," said grandfather in a rage as he looked out looking for me.

However, Mr. Budi remained silent without saying much. Mr. Budi seemed to wait for the right moment and time to talk about his resignation as a private driver from the Suprapto family.

"You are deaf or deaf !spoken to just silence like a statue that can not talk aka mute!," shouted grandfather very rudely.

Because of the loud screams of Grandpa. It was heard by all the other family members.

"Is there a reward for the noise and the shouting?" asked Mr. Sugeng to grandfather while looking at Mr. Budi."You are Budi sir! why just go home now? where have you been?," continued Mr. Sugeng while asking with an annoyed face looking at Mr. Budi.

"This is what makes you have to scream. The father asked Budi where he was. Just got home now. He was silent like a statue. IS NOT UPSET AND IRRITATED PAPA SAW IT!," said grandfather in a very rude and very high tone.

Grandpa and Mr. Sugeng then looked at Mr. Budi simultaneously. Their faces were red from holding back anger.

Then not long after, Ms. Sri, mbak Riska and followed by Reno brother down heard the noise that was below.

"What the hell is pah?the cake?just scream. Disturbing his sleep Riska only, "said mbak Riska who looked towards grandfather and Mr. Sugeng.

"Yes, what is the reward?" said Bu Sri while rubbing both eyes because he was still sleepy.

"This is the Budi who made your father and husband scream annoyed," said Grandfather to Bu Sri while pointing at Pak Budi.

Bu Sri and Mbak Riska looked at Pak Budi with an annoyed look and also full of questions.

"Where have you been, Budi? This clock just came here?," said Bu Sri also angrily.

"Oh yes, Mr. Budi, where is the village boy? how invisible and not with Mr. Budi!," said Mbak Riska rudely while looking here and there looking for me.

Brother Reno who walked slowly from earlier.Kini is beside Bu Sri.

Occasionally his face seemed to think and clench his forehead when he looked towards the ustad Fariz.Ia felt as if he was no stranger to Fariz.

"It seems like I've met that person before" Reno's sister said in her heart.

"But where is yah?" continued Reno's words in his heart while thinking to remember where he had met Fariz's ustad.

On the other hand, Fariz was silent and looked at Reno and saw the faces of the entire Suprapto family. Not long after that, Fariz turned to look at Pak Budi and who also looked at him.

Ustad Fariz bowed his head slightly, as if to signal to Mr. Budi that now is the right time to convey his resignation in front of the entire Suprapto family.

And it seems that Mr. Budi also understood the meaning of the sign given by Ustad Fariz to him.

So quickly and without prolonging the time Pak Budi directly conveyed his intention.

"Begini Mr. Suprapto, Mr. Sugeng and Bu Sri. My intention here is that I want to quit and resign from my job as the family's personal driver. Here are the car keys yes I bring me back," said Mr. Budi while putting the car keys on the round nesting table slowly.

"Wait a minute why do you suddenly want to stop being the driver of this family?" asked the grandfather with a stingy and suspicious to Mr. Budi."Lest there be something you hide and you plan for this family ,Budi!, "would Grandpa return in a suspicious and accusatory tone to Mr. Budi.

"Yes Mr Budi where is Rani ?why isn't Rani with you? are you hiding where he is?" did Brother Reno interrupt the conversation.

Hearing Kak Reno's words, Pak Budi's face looks upset and slightly ignited angry. He recalled how Reno treated me that night.

"It should take Reno to be responsible for the conditions experienced by son Rani now," replied Mr. Budi with a stern.

"What do you mean, Mr Budi?" said Reno angrily and while pointing at Mr. Budi's face with the index finger of his left hand.

All the members of the Suprapto family looked confused and wondered in their hearts about what was really going on with me and Brother Reno.

"Son Reno is indeed a bad and cruel person to treat Nak Rani like that.Bapak really condemns the actions of nak Reno!," said Mr. Budi with a slightly shouting and angry tone to Kak Reno .

Hearing the harsh words of Mr. Budi. With his arrogant and angry nature. And reflexively he immediately raised a fist from his left hand towards the face of Mr. Budi.

However, with a swift urtad Fariz held the hand of Kak Reno, so that Kak Reno could not and did not even have time to hit the face of Pak Budi.

"This haughty, angry, arrogant and cruel you will sooner or later destroy and burn yourself. You should repent immediately to Allah Subhanahu Wa ta'ala for forgiveness before it is too late and to be as vain as dust" said Ustad Fariz, advising Reno.

Reno's brother, who heard Fariz's words, recalled his meeting that night and Fariz's ustad.

"Oh, so you apparently! Why are you here to make trouble with me again! And well where are you hiding Rani?," asked Brother Reno very angrily.

"You know this man, son?" asked Ms Sri to Reno.

Brother Reno nodded, "It is this man who made Reno hurt like this" Reno said lying to accuse Fariz.

Hearing the words of Reno Bu Sri immediately believed. His face was so angry and annoyed that he saw Fariz's father and with his cruel and evil mouth he began to insult Fariz's Ustad.

"Oh, you are brave enough to hurt and hurt my son. You don't know who you're dealing with. A lowly and classless person like you already dared to harass my beloved son. And I do not hesitate to report your actions to the authorities" Bu Sri said, bullying Ustad Fariz.

Hearing the words of Ms Sri Ustad Fariz smiled slightly.

"Please mother. You can report me to the authorities. And I have no problem with that. Even if my mother reports me to the authorities, it is not me who will be arrested but this mother's favorite son" Fariz said calmly.

"Hey, what do you mean? and watch your mouth!," cried Bu Sri very angrily and while pointing at the face of Ustad Fariz.

"I don't have to answer my mother just ask the real incident to the mother's favorite son" said Ustad Fariz."Let's take Mr. Budi out of this house, "tajak ustad Fariz to Pak Budi.

Bu Sri, Pak Sugeng ,kakek and Mbak Riska looked towards Kak Reno.

Their faces were filled with questions as they looked at the face of Brother Reno who pretended not to see his family.

"Reno, what really happened son?," asked Bu Sri curiously while holding onto Kak Reno's face.

However, Brother Reno just kept quiet.

"Sir Budi wait!," shouted Bik Siti calling Pak Budi.

Pak Budi also turned to bi Siti," Yes make what?," asked Mr. Budi.

"Where is Rani now, sir? I'm very worried about Rani. Either I feel like something bad has happened to Nak Rani," said Bik Siti with anxiety to Mr. Budi.

"Hmmm, son Rani is currently being treated at the hospital, Bik," replied Mr. Budi with a sad face.

"Oh my God" said Bik Siti surprised as she put both her hands on her mouth."I follow Mr. Budi yes see the condition of Rani's son now," said Bik Siti again to Mr. Budi.

The entire Suprapto family heard the conversation between Bik Siti and Pak Budi with a surprised face and a slightly anxious feeling especially Kak Reno.

"Bik Siti you can not go with Mr. Budi, "command Bu Sri to Bu Siti.

"Sorry Mom but I want to keep looking at the situation of nak Rani,"sahut bi Siti with compassion to Bu Sri.

"If Bik Siti still forced to look at the village and step out of the door," said Bu Sri while pointing to the door at Bik Siti and then continued his speech again."So I do not hesitate to fire Bik Siti working from this house.Paham!,"gertak Bu Sri back.

"Then it's okay Mom.I've all stopped working from this house like Mr. Budi.Excuse me Mom!," said Bik Siti loudly and firmly.

Ms Sri was surprised to hear Bik Siti's words.

So did the rest of the Suprapto family.

"What is really going on with this family?," asked Bu Sri quietly with a face while gawking.

Mr. Budi, Bik Siti and Ustad Fariz together stepped out of the Suprapto family home.

Meanwhile, Mr. Sugeng with a face of restraining annoyance and anger immediately approached Brother Reno. Then Mr. Sugeng pulled the collar of Kak Reno's shirt.

"What did you do to Rani? and what exactly happened? tell me! say quickly! Don't just shut up!" shouted Mr. Sugeng loudly and emotionally.

But brother Reno just silently received treatment from Mr. Sugeng. He still thinks about the words of Mr. Budi.

About me being treated now.

Many times Mr. Sugeng shouted but Brother Reno remained silent.

His body and body were indeed in the Suprapto residence.

But somehow his mind floated far away leaving his body that was constantly getting rough treatment from Mr. Sugeng..

"Already Sir! stopit! already Sir! stopit! please reward, pity Reno," cried Bu Sri hysterically while releasing her husband's hand from Reno's body.

"Akkhhhhh.

BRUckkk....

The Duarrrr.......

Mr. Sugeng threw a vase of flowers from ceramic floor.
