I'm (Not) a Cheap Woman

Nita's Choice

Nita was really confused in making the choice. Two men who had important roles in his life came to propose to him on the same day.

I don't know who he'll choose. Farel is the man he loves. But as long as Farel was gone, it was Fadil who healed his broken heart.

“It is time to pray. Please think about who you want to accept the proposal,” said Arka when she heard the chant of the voice of the Adzan echoed from the mosque not far from the residence Nita.

Nita could only nod. Really, choosing is not an easy thing for him. Moreover, he had to decide with a very short time.

Arka, Farel, and other male officers headed for the mosque. As for Fadil and his family, they remained seated in Nita's living room. As for Thira, he went to Nita's room. They will pray there.

“The man is still sitting relaxed, even though he has entered prayer time. Sure you want to accept her, ma'am? His creator alone does not obey, let alone His creation. Better think about it, Mom. That mother deserves the best,” Thira said. Concerns adorned his face when he said it.

“So you mean, the best for me is Farel?” ask Nita.

“Iya Bu.”

“You said so because he's your boss.”

“Not Bu. In fact, Mr. Farel is indeed much better than that man. After all, did Mom really love that guy? As far as I know, Ms. Nita likes it the same Mr. Farel.”

“If love problems, can grow as the marriage progresses.”

“Maybe it's better that way. Better loved than loved,” Nita replies while holding a prayer mat for Thira.

“If I am the beloved, at least I can learn to love fully. I've been sick to love without being loved, it hurts so much. That is why I don't want it to happen again,” he added.

Thira continues to convince Nita. “ Won't happen again Mom. Kan Pak Farel himself earlier who claimed that he loved the same Mother.”

While the journey of Farel and the others had arrived at its end. They wudhu in a special place of men who are beside the mosque. And go straight into the mosque for congregational prayer’ah after.

In his prayer, Farel prayed in his heart. “Yes Allah, I really love Nita. If he is my match, then convince Nita to choose me. If not, please lighten my heart as she prefers the man.”

In another place.

“Yes Allah, Thou Knowest of all things. Please help me in choosing one of the best among them. Servant wants someone who can still love servant when old,” pinta Nita in his prostration.

I couldn't bear to see Farel hurt. Arka again gave a warning as she walked to Nita's house. “Whatever Nita's decision later, you have to be legowo. If you are not a match with him, it means God has prepared another woman who is much better for you.”

“Iya, the important thing is that Nita already knows my feelings. At least I have no regrets for a lifetime for not expressing my feelings of love to him.” Farel's face looked sad.

Arka took a deep breath, and exhaled it slowly. “Past, before resigning. Nita confessed that she loves you. But do not know that now, because there are other men also who approached him.”
