ISTIKHARAH LOVE

Scenario God #17

just because we worship God with one different vowel, Love does not manifest happiness for us, let God answer until we are together. sometimes religious differences become a cliche in a love relationship.even if I put my hands together and he folded his hands, we still say the same prayer.people say it will not be possible to be together, but it will not be possible, but I'm sure our story would be wonderful if we could really be together.

and I hope God will allow us to be together.

different is not a barrier between us, but make it as a decoration in the long journey that we record in this life storybook.

we sat next to each other on the road guardrail, unknowingly the twilight sun made our shadows dimmer, the street lights began to shine, the dimmer typical of the city atmosphere, boisterous noise of the riders overtaking each other.

the workers began to fill the street corner, waiting for public transport to then drive to their homes to regroup with relatives.

there was no conversation between the two of us, we both fell silent, paying attention to the behavior of the people in front of us.

"My life is for you, you are for me, but whatever may be our different faith, God is indeed one we are not the same, should I then leave even though love will not be able to go"

the sound of street buskers breaking the silence, the twilight with the orange sky in mega ornamental to red-spy began to gradually darken.

"in the evening let's go home" I said

Kinan turned his head, his eyes like I was crying.

"why your eye?? crying??" my lot while grabbing her tiny shoulder.

"no, let's go home" he replied

"there's nothing to cry about, God is one, we're not the same, even if we're different, even if your parents expect me to go, but love can never go away, he will remember where he goes, where he goes home"

I held her shoulder, I hugged her gently.

his eyes began to water and drip.

"Kin, it's been this far, it's been here, you want to just give up??" my many.

I was still holding it when I asked that question.

"I'm sorry that I can't be as strong as you" she replied in my arms.

"mayo, today your parents may not be able to accept my arrival, but I am sure tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or whenever the time comes, they will understand, we are too fast to take a step, enjoy the process yes, pray, you pray to your Lord and I will also pray to my God, let our prayers meet in the sky there, and convince our respective God to grant it immediately"

I let go of my arms, then clasped his hand tightly while reassuring his heart.

Kinan nodded, then we walked down the sidewalk of the streets of Bandung.

the sky has darkened, the sun has really returned to its contest, the night beasts have begun to come out of hiding, unpretentious to each other.

"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar....."

the voice of adzan maghrib reverberated, I pulled over first, towards the mosque in the corner of the city park.

"not at home???" ask Kinan

"here alone, more afdol after all for a man praying together in the mosque, you if you want to go home, first is okay, I still remember the way"

"hmmm, can I just wait for you??" doorways

I smiled, then nodded.

I saw Kinan sitting on a bench in the park parking lot, while I walked into the mosque which began to crowded with worshippers.

when I finished praying to God, I just asked to be strengthened once more.

"O Allah, I am sorry if the servant always asks and asks, but if not to you, then to whom else should I ask, do not let this heart be broken for the umpteenth time, let us unite in your ark, let us build our own voyage, only to you I beg and surrender.then grant this to your servant.."

after I finished, I returned to where Kinan was waiting.

"sorry a little long" I said

"it's okay"

"ayo" asked me as he took her hand.

all the way home, again and again we just fell silent, until finally Kinan opened the conversation.

"What did you pray??" tannya

that question baffled me.

"hmmm, why did you suddenly ask that?" answer me

"no, I'm just asking, if you don't want to answer it, that's okay"

"for sure I pray well, for you and me"

"Joe..."

"yes"

"thank you for always saying my name in your prayers"

his hand never escaped my grasp, very tight and strong.

although the look on his face was still soft, but there was already a slight smile on his red cheeks.

"Kin, thank you for being this confident with me you've only known for less than a year, I'm sure it's not easy to be you, I hope our differences will concern us later on, when that time comes, I hope that you will smile widely, and enjoy the fruits of your labor all this time, at that time, I will be the first one to hold you" I murmured inwardly.
