Halal Lover Waiting

Cornered

When Alesha arrived at the shop owned by her parents, Alesha stopped to get off Alena's car. Yes, while on the way home, Alesha's mother called her to tell her daughter to stop by her shop, it turns out there is a man Dion who will be introduced to Alesha.

"Why didn't Sha come down?" Alena who has not realized in Alesha's shop there Dion wonder why the friend did not come down as well.

"That's Lo Na, in Mom's shop is Dion, why is she here? Wasn't she just her boyfriend?" Alesha said with a growl.

"Well that guy, but it was really friendly with his girlfriend, now he's at the store nyokap lo, I'm curious he wants to do it here, Yes yuk Sha we go down, we meet the guy is not clear, just calm down, I always support Lo, any proof of video recording he's the same girlfriend will be on my phone." Alena gave her support for her friend.

"Yaudah yuk Na, I also want to quickly solve this problem, I do not accept Mother's same father lied to the same unclear man." Alesha said patiently.

Finally Alesha and Alena got off the silver car, approaching the whereabouts of Mother Alice and Mr. Anggara who were chatting with Dion.

"Assalamualaikum Mother, Father," said Alesha while kissing both hands of her parents with reverence as well as Alena.

"Waalaikumsalam, Sha, Na" said Alesha's mother and father.

"This who's Buk, sir? Which one is Alesha?" Dion asked Alesha's parents to the point, who had not been able to see Alesha since Alesha's early days set foot in the shop.

"Oh yes, know Sha, this is Dion's son whom I often tell you, son Dion knows this daughter Alesha's mother, and this is Alena Alesha's best friend," mother Alice introduced them one by one.

"Gue Dion" said Dion, greeting Alesha. But Alesha did not welcome the greeting of the man.

"Alesha," Alesha replied as she linked her hands together in front of her chest.

Dion, who was embarrassed that his hand was not welcomed by Alesha, immediately pulled his hand while scratching his non-itchy head.

"What's wrong, Mom? Why did I send Alesha here?" An impatient Alesha asked immediately put an end to this inconvenience. Especially since Dion did not blink his eyes to see Alesha, Alesha who was noticed so was uncomfortable with the gaze of the man who was not his mahram.

"Look Sha, like I told you before, Dion wants to get to know you better, don't you want Dion?" Alice's mother made sure to Dion.

"Yes right Sha, I've often heard about You from the same Mother Father, it turns out you are a very beautiful girl," said Dion who felt he would be accepted by Alesha.

"Sorry before Mom, Dad, before all this is getting further away, and Mom and Dad are increasingly hoping for Alesha's relationship with Dion, Alesha wants to say that Alesha does not want to know more about Dion." Alesha said with confidence.

Suddenly Alesha's answer made Alesha's mother and father as well as Dion surprised.

"What do you mean, son? Didn't you want to give Dion a chance to know you before? You don't want to disappoint me with Dad, do you, son?" Alice asked Mother expectantly that what she heard was wrong.

"I'm really sorry Mom, Dad, Alesha doesn't want to make Mom either Dad's disappointed if Alesha accepts Dion." Alesha said calmly.

"Mommy really does not understand your words this time, try to explain to Mother why you do not agree Mommy to match with Dion, you also do not know Dion's son, anyway, but I made that decision." Alice's mother said looking for answers.

"Your mother Alesha said, We haven't started yet, so why did you reject me outright?" Dion held back the wind from feeling his pride had fallen because it had been rejected by a woman. Because all this time Dion never get rejected even by any woman, Alesha was the first girl who dared to reject him.

"Mother just ask her why Alesha would not accept it" said Alesha turned her eyes away from her mother who seemed disappointed, hope Dion will be honest with her as well as her parents that she has had a lover.

Alesha's father, who had been silent before, finally spoke up.

"Polite speech in front of Alesha's guests" Alesha's father advised.

"Alesha had tried to speak politely since then Well, what's wrong if Alesha does not accept Dion, Dion is not a good man to be able to be Alesha's future priest, let alone be the daughter-in-law of the same father Mother." Alesha gave her understanding.

"You must not just judge Me, You do not know Me yet, but You have said that I am not a good candidate for you, the priest" said Dion in a tone that began to rise.

"Look Well, Mom, not yet any tone of speech has increased. Are you the same mom I'm sure she can be a good husband to Alesha?" Alesha was still trying to calm down.

Dion, who had been provoked by Alesha's talk, tried to temper his anger.

"Sorry sir, Mom, I don't mean to speak in a high tone, it's just that my parents are too outrageous to judge me" Dion said in a statement.

"It's okay for Dion, sorry for your son yes," said Mr. Anggara sincerely.

Alena who had just been silent to the debate between Alesha and her parents and Dion finally spoke up.

"I'm sorry that Alena interfered with Om, Auntie, what Alesha said about Dion is true, we have proof of what Dion really is." Alena defended her friend.

Dion, hearing Alena's words, was astonished, as were Alesha's father and mother.

Alena immediately pulled out her cellphone in the bag she was holding, without any talk Alena played video recording evidence of the togetherness of Dion and a woman, Alena said, then handed the phone to Elis and Mr. Anggara.

Both of Alesha's parents received the phone, as Alesha's mother and father noticed the contents of the tape, their eyes widened perfectly, so surprised they could not speak.

Dion, who felt strange after both of Alesha's parents saw the evidence of the recording, asked.

"Bapak sama mother why look surprised? What's the recording?" Ask Dion who still does not understand the situation now.

Alesha's father, who heard the man's voice, was furious, his chest started to go up and down, wanting to beat up the man in front of him at this moment, who had dared to play tricks on him and his family.

Alena took the phone in the hands of Alice's mother who currently looked shocked, then without speaking she gave Dion proof of the recording. When Dion received the phone and saw the contents of the recording, he was no less surprised.

"Where did you get this tape?" Asked Dion whose chest was now starting to pound because it was discovered how his true nature.

"It's not important you know where we can prove this recording from, which is clear from now on you never again meet Alesha's parents, especially if you dare to make deketin my best friend. If you dare to set foot here or in front of Alesha and her family, I will immediately make the same calculation," Alena warned Dion by holding back her anger.

Yes, from the first Alena did not like to see there are others who hurt Alesha let alone relate to her family, She will be the front guard to defend her best friend, even if it is a man, he will be the first guard to defend her friend, Alena will never fear or tremble.

Alesha and Alena have known each other since they were in elementary school, but when entering High School, he and his family moved to Surabaya, Indonesia, so Alena and Alesha rarely meet although occasionally they still communicate via chat or via phone.

And when Alena graduated High School she returned to Jakarta, and finally enrolled in the same university, until now she was always with Alesha everywhere even when Alena married, Alesha is always there for her, although she rarely goes out together because she spends a lot of time with her husband. Alesha had considered her like her own brother and vice versa with Alesha, Alesha had considered Alena like her biological brother. So when someone hurts Alesha, Alena will not stay silent.

Dion, who was ashamed of being caught with his lies, finally left Alesha's old shop without saying hello.

After Dion's departure, Alesha's father and mother look disappointed, disappointed in him, they both sit on the floor of his store, their minds are raging, feeling guilty to the child, and they are, they almost gave their son to a bad man.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim, forgive this servant O Allah, almost I hurt my son." Said Mother Elis where the clear round had wetted her cheeks.

Alesha's father was speechless, he felt ashamed of his son, he should have protected his daughter, especially from a bad man, but instead he almost entrusted his son to be married to a man who already had a lover, even going to propose to another woman.

"Alesha who saw her current Father and Mother with a state of guilt, approached her parents, without saying Alesha immediately embraced her mother and father.

"Had the mother, the father, Alhamdulillah everything was finished, Allah still loved Alesha, so that it was given guidance as soon as this. If Alesha and Alena had not seen Dion in the city's garden, we may not have known what Dion was, it's possible that Alesha has accepted her to be Alesha's future husband." Alesha won both her parents.

Alesha understood very well, surely at this time both her parents felt guilty about her. But this is not really the fault of both parents, both parents just can't wait to see Alesha with the man of their choice. Although Alesha was actually disappointed, but he tried hard in front of his parents.

After long hugging and calming her Mom and Dad, Alesha immediately unraveled her embrace, publishing her smile widely, trying to tell her that everything was fine.

"I'm sorry I'm the same Dad, son, because we want to hurry you get married, we did not find out in advance how the man. Praise be to Allah for your love, Allah guides you in unexpected ways." Said Alice's Mother.

You are a good boy, you have never disputed the words of Father and Mother. Father and mother promise not to force you to get married again, but if you have your own choice, Father and Mother God willing will accept your choice. Say the Father sincerely and tenderly.

Alesha who heard the words of Father and Mother also shed tears, she did not expect this incident, her father and mother would not force her to get married again.

It is not that Alesha does not want to get married immediately, especially at the age of 27 years, but he does not want to be wrong in choosing a priest for his household, because for him this marriage was once in his lifetime.

Then he must truly marry a man who can truly accept him for who he is, whether more or less, love him and take care of him, he will always be responsible for his life and his children later, will only make him his only wife, run the household ark later together in joy and sorrow until death separates. Yeah, it's just as simple as Alesha's wish.

Alena who had only noticed Alesha and her parents smiled, grateful that her best friend was protected from bad men.

Alesha who saw her best friend smiling, immediately approached her.

"Thanks Na Na, you are always there for Me in any situation, You always support Me no matter what, and You always strengthen Me when I am fragile, I'm lucky to have a friend like you.  Thank you once again Na, you have been a good friend of me all this time," said Alesha sincerely while hugging her best friend tightly. Alena returned her best friend's embrace while stroking Alesha's back.

Alesha's mother and father approached the two of them, asking how they could get evidence of Dion. Finally Alesha told everything to her parents without anyone passing through.

Finally, both of Alesha's parents realized that what is good according to them is not necessarily good according to God. For what is good according to God is good for every servant.
