Missing Voice Azhan

Secret of Mate

"Ekhem. I'm not gonna run where the ring is." Ustazhah Syifa who immediately makes a girl who is cool daydreaming smiles embarrassed.

"Oh sister can. Not really." His eagle while holding the shame of being caught by the woman he had considered like his brother.

"You have never changed before, often daydreaming for yourself. Watch out for the sambet."

"Ih.kaka what the hell."

"Why the hell ? I heard rumors circulating he said sister brother is going to get married tomorrow. Wow tomorrow will definitely be the day of heartbreak of the world donk." With a smile behind her veil.

"I mean brother ? Who will marry." Ask Akiia in wonder.

"I mean wrong, yes. But the news is circulating why can it be so ? Your candidate ustadz who gave his talk yesterday, right ? His name is Ustadz Azriel. Kyai lutfi told me earlier, saying that Azriel ustadz had asked her to ask you here tomorrow."

Akiia gawked, she was really surprised, because the man did not say anything earlier when he met her. There was a sense of resentment in his heart because the man did what he wanted without asking his permission first. (When it was clear that Azriel had said that she would marry him, right ? Oh basic Akia, besides being beautiful she is also senile yes 🤣)

Seeing the face of Akia who returned pensive to make Ustazhah Syifa feel astonished, the woman hugged slowly the girl's shoulder and then moved her chin as if asking why.

"Hhhh.elah brother.I myself am confused, whether to be happy or sad. I'm very worried. It all happened as soon as it arrived, and it surprised me." His complaints are blurting out.

"You have doubts ?"

"I have no doubt, brother, I just..."

"Fear ?"

Slowly Akia nodded confirming the speech of the ustazhah Syifa. " But I also don't know what my sister's afraid of."

Ustazhah Syifa smiled, then pulled the girl's arm to sit on the side of her bed.

"Do you believe that God has prepared our soul mate even before we were born in this world ?"

Akiia nodded. " I know brother."

"What else do you doubt ? Ask Him for guidance, God willing He will give you a way so that you no longer doubt."

Akia was silent but her heart confirmed the woman's words.

"You're lucky She can get a soul mate fast unlike me." Connect again.

Akia frowned, looking intensely at Ustazhah Syifa as if waiting for the continuation of the story.

Ustazhah Syifa smiled sweetly behind her veil.

"Yes, I say you're lucky, you know, even at the age of three, God hasn't met my soul mate. I have always been blasphemed and underestimated by society. They're just saying if I don't do good, or I'm a spinster."

"Astaghfirullah, you just keep quiet hearing all that." Akiia asked with an annoyed face.

"At first I too wanted to get angry, starting to blame God's destiny. But I realized that if God must have a beautiful destiny for me, I assumed that God was testing my patience. In the end I could only give up and patiently pass this test. Only through the midnight prayer that I always pray, may in addition to being given the best soul mate that God thinks is best for you, I also ask that He give me so much patience."

Akia once again stared in admiration at the figure in front of him. The only woman who has always been patient with him since his first meeting.

"You know what it means to say like this ? I want you to always be grateful for what God has told you. No more doubts in your heart. Believe me, maybe Azriel ustadz is the soul mate God has prepared for you."

Akia hugged the body of the Ustazhah Syifa, and there was peace in her heart as she rubbed her back gently. At first glance the girl thought that if the figure in front of her became her mother, she would feel very lucky.

"Thank you brother, after hearing sister's story now I am very confident in my heart. Thank you for waking me up."

***

Walking alone in the dark of the night may scare some people. But not with the hijab girl, unaccompanied by Mr. Min, Akia casually walked towards his house which was close to the ponpes where he devoted himself. There was no fear or worry on the girl's face. Though it was clear the state of the streets there looked silent and gripping.

There is a reason why Akia always walks almost every night, the girl could stay in her room in the ponpes, but she did not.

"Mr.." Call it to someone.

Mak Ijah, a middle-aged woman who used to hang out selling on the side of the road that the girl used to go through. Today his sale still looks a lot, so Mak Ijah has not returned. Though the day has begun to dissolve, but in order to be able to provide a mouthful of rice for his children, mak Ijah must try harder.

And tonight the good fortune came to the middle-aged woman, Akiia came home a bit late, so the girl crossed paths with mak Ijah.

"What sales 'em ?" He asked with a smile still on his lips.

The look on the woman's face turned cheerful after it had dimmed. Enthusiastically the woman showed her merchandise.

"There is pecel vegetable neng, coincidentally still warm, freshly boiled vegetables. It's also a boiled bean." Answer with pleasure.

Akia smiled as she watched Mak Ijah's trade.

"So please wrap it all up yeah, it happens that the house people have not eaten either. All those same stew beans, I want overtime tonight's duty." His orders in a soft tone.

"God, thank You for the provision that You have provided." Gratitude Mak Ijah spoke of the sustenance that God gave him through the mediation of the girl in front of him, even tears appeared to drip from the corner of his eyes that had begun to wrinkle.

Finished from his gratitude, Mak Ijah immediately began to wrap Akia's order with a heart so happy. It was clearly visible in both of his eyes that emitted a cheerful radiance.

"Mak's been selling here for a long time ?" Tanya Akiia interrupted Mak Ijah wrapped his order.

"Mak has been selling here for a long time, approximately 10 years."

"Kok I never know, mom, I've been here for 3 years."

"Mak sell during the day neng, only until the afternoon, after that mak go home."

"Trus why is today until mak night ?"

"Today deserted neng, there is still a lot of trading, if mak go home without success later the children of kasian can not eat."

Nyess

Akiia's heart is slashed like a slate, then again silent reluctant to ask something that has certainly made him back full.

"Have all the mak ?" He asked when Mak Ijah gave the package to Akia.

"It's already neng, it's all 50 grand." He said with a happy face.

Akia opened his small bag and took 10 pieces of red money, then gave it to Ijah. The middle-aged woman was shocked by what was seen before her eyes.

"This ring is mostly, it's all just 50 grand." He said with a slightly trembling hand.

"It's okay mak, today I get sustenance so I share it with mak. May be useful, mother, then I go home first, mother also come home this is night." Akia answered and hurried to leave Mak Ijah who was still glued there with a hand that held the money given by Akia.

It dawned that Mak Ijah immediately prostrated himself again grateful for the sustenance received today. Then immediately tidied up his wares with a body that shook violently.

From afar Akia saw how happy mak Ijah when he got a sustenance that is not how he thinks. For the small people like Mak Ijah, getting that much money is already a great gift from the Power. Unknowingly Akia shed her tears because she was saddened by the life lived by mak Ijah.

What a loss I am that I am never grateful for what I have right now. I feel like a very small person when compared to people like mak Ijah. God gave me abundant wealth, but God gave me a broad heart and great patience. Thank you, I learned from you what life really means.

The girl moved her legs back to her house, which was only a few blocks away. Not forgetting he gave the parcel he bought from mak Ijah to some of the people he met on the street.

Not far from his current place, there was a figure of a man who continued to follow him from earlier, and of course Akia's behavior did not escape the sight of his eyes. The man smiled faintly at the back of the girl who had started to enter his house.

"My future wife has never changed, always an angel's heart." He muttered slowly and left after making sure the girl had entered the house.
