GROANS OF DESTINY

THE S2 - CHAPTER 36

Do you guys know?

The definition of love and love is different

But the definition of love and affection is almost the same

For example, if you like a personal item that belongs to you, then surely you will love it but not necessarily you love it, right?

For example, if you love someone, let's assume that person is your idol, your love for him must be based on something you like about him, but do you love your idol?

Likes and loves are interdependent, but love enters into the definition of everything

Therefore, love is only aimed at one person who rises the highest rating from the group of people we like and love

Cam is that. Love and love are different.

Flashback Riani and Andi

The wind was accompanied by brown leaves that slowly fell following the wind accompanied the cool outdoor room to discuss small organizational activities in the pesantren.

The lively applause became a real crowning of the room which is now inhabited only by a handful of people.

A man walked to the front of the prepared table, he stood gallantly in front of everyone, not infrequently girls smiled gently with a reddened face staring at him.

The footsteps of a man again sounded, now the newly appeared man was standing beside the man with the look of his face and his posture is very firm, very firm, unlike the first man standing.

With a loud greeting they sounded to the people who were now in front of them, answered simultaneously by the people who had been sitting before them both.

Andi Ibrahim, the name widely known by all residents of the An-Nur pesantren, the head of a handsome-faced da'wah organization with a smile that is able to captivate the hearts of women, his polite and meek character, accompanied by the vice chairman of the da'wah group, Muhammad Abra Azhka, a strong man who is smart and confident, his charisma is extraordinary, he is active in all fields.

He was the man now standing in front of all the members of the da'wah, plus a woman with an ideal posture, with a jutek face but very very beautiful. Kirana Zahara is how people know the girl, the secretary of the da'wah set who can always inspire her friends.

Today they are holding a meeting to organize the pesantren da'wah schedule to several mosques/mushalla during this Ramadan.

Kirana notes nimbly each division of duties and the opinions of other members.

When the head of the da'wah assembly asked if anyone still wanted to give an opinion, the room appeared silent for a moment, then a girl confidently stood up while holding her hand.

Andi was quite keget to see the girl, Riani Putri, a 1st grade student who at that time got the champion of the general level. Andi knew the name of the girl.

"Please Riani" said Andi.

Riani nodded "Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatu" Riani's greeting was answered by everyone in the room "Include my name Riani Putri, a student of class 1-A, class 1, here I want to give a refutation of the event of our Nuzul Quran, I myself know very well that our togetherness in the month of Ramadan is very important, read the Qur'an together until the time of sahur, open together, open together, censoring all tausiah acceptance just for the sake of gathering together in this Nuzul Qur'an, previously sorry... do you know what Nuzul Qur'an is?" ask Riani.

Everyone in the room seemed quiet.

"Nuzul Qur'an or what we usually mean as the night of the Qur'an, the night that coincides with the night of Lailatul Qadar, a night better than a thousand months!" With a loud voice Riani called out her opinion.

"Aren't we better as Muslims, as well as others out there grateful today? he said it was a thousand-month night, and it was not the brightest night, and guided down to the elect that night, what they were looking at then, so why do we just reduce ourselves in the room and read the Koran? wouldn't it be better to take our neighbors and orphans out there to read the Koran and watch the night of Lailatul Qadar? the courtyard of our mosque is open, a thousand months will surely be able to illuminate us in reading the Quran together, sharing experiences, prayers of circumcision crowded, long tausiyah about this Nuzul Qur'an! isn't that more beautiful?" ask Riani again.

This room was silent again, everything was silent, since then Andi was amazed at the figure of a Riani, she liked the way of Riani's mind that could not be limited, her way of mind that advanced and voiced, she said, his speech that is able to captivate and move the hearts of people. Intelligence is not only about the material, but also aspirations and togetherness, social spirit so high, really a girl who is extraordinary and full of competence.

Time passed quickly, great togetherness on the night of Lailatul Qadar was very short and imprinted in memory.

The children who cried out loudly recited the holy verse while surrounding the houses of the citizens, illuminated by torches carried by the adults, were heard, rabana and gandang music voiced by students pesantren An-nur and others who enliven the atmosphere of the night until Sahur together.

Towards the end of Ramadan, they returned to the meeting, expecting students who would return home after the final exam, or who remained in the dormitory.

Riani who had previously only chosen to be silent during the meeting, although she was usually the most chatty person discussing the results of the meeting, the three cores were now staring at the girl's astonishment.

Riani let out a long sigh, like a person who no longer had the spirit of life.

She got a fever after the rain came home from the market to buy cooking ingredients for sahur and break the fast, Riani chose to attend the meeting instead of just sleeping in the dorm room.

But now his head feels very heavy, slowly the view of Riani fades, Kirana, Andi, and Abra are worried about Riani whose body looks trembling.

Brak!

Riani fainted right then, the girls had already left from the beginning of the meeting ended earlier, Kirana would not be able to raise Riani alone in her room.

Andi and Abra were also feeling bad, not that the muhrim could touch.

"Let me take her to the dorm room!" andi looked worried.

"But-" said Abra who was cut by Andi.

"We can't let Riani keep this up, this is for her sake so there is no limit to what the muhrim is not" Andi said while carrying Riani's body immediately to her dorm room.

Andi accompanied by Abra directly out, because men should not enter the female dormitory, the law is very fatal, maybe even they can be expelled from there if they still dare to linger in the female dormitory.

The next day Riani's condition seems to have been mengingan from before recovering, he was active as usual, until the final semester exam was conducted in the last seconds of the Ramadan fast, he said, again Riani got a general ranking even with the situation that was sick at the time.

Andi's admiration for Riani reaches its peak, Andi smilingly looks at Riani from a distance, Abra is aware of the attitude of her best friend.

"You like Riani?" tanya Abra is possessed by Andi.

As in the lightning flash, Abra was shocked to not believe that his best friend was now in love, but Abra misunderstood, Andi is not in love with Riani, he only liked and admired a Riani, a very smart and kind independent girl, nothing more.

2 Years after that, arriving on their graduation day, Princess Riani was the only student who received the most invitation student offers.

Andi's admiration for him still survives, even though Riani's silent love for Andi is still a beautiful story in each of them, Riani's love that was anchored when she first saw Andi's dazzling smile, her handsome face was still imprinted in Riani's heart until the day of graduation arrived.

Andi's admiration for Riani and Riani's love for Andi remained silent, they whispered in prayer, about each other's health and happiness.

The final farewell after graduation was when Abra expressed love for Kirana, it was the last brief conversation Andi and Riani had at the boarding school, where their taste began to dock.

Riani's hesitation to choose a university or stay in her hometown was because of her love that she wanted to express, she did not expect more, just that she wanted Andi to know what it was like.

But again Riani chose to be silent, maybe with silence she will find something unexpected beautiful later.

Until Abra arrives at Kirana's family home to ask Riani's best friend, Kirana Zahara.

Andi's sudden arrival becomes a complement to Abra, plus the arrival of Aisyah's sister Riani at the end of the event also becomes a complementary spice for the Aisyah family.

But not only that, Andi fell in love at first sight with Aisyah, as well as Aisyah who was stunned by the man next to the man who was about to propose to her cousin's sister.

I don't know what the reason is, but we need to know, love comes for no reason but will always end with a reason to be together and happy.

Andi ventured to ask for Aisyah's number, until they often replied to her behind a mobile phone. The taste called love is still in silence, before they arrive at the guarantee.

But what about Riani's feelings when she found out about it? Riani chose to remain silent forever, wasn't the greatest love the moment of willing to give her away with others? even if that person is the person we love the most ourselves?
