“ Waalaikum greetings warahmatullahi wabarokatuh. “ sahut mosque worshipers in Elyas village.
“ Thank God, father and mother, tonight we are still given grace, still given pleasure by Allah SWT. Tonight, we can still worship at this mosque, still be able to intercede with other residents. We can still learn together. “ Elyas started his tausiya.
“ Father and mother, thank God, we have been and still can pass the month of Rajab. As I explained last week to my father and mother and brothers, that in the month of Rajab, we are allowed to fast. Where the reward we will get is huge. One of them is when we fast one day in the month of Rajab, then the reward we will get is the same as if we fast for one year. Do you remember the pilgrims ? “
“ Still, ustadz. “ replied the worshippers.
“ Alhamdullah. Well, now we have entered in the month Sya’ban nih father, mother, and brothers all. That is the sign, we will soon enter in the month of Ramadan. “ and continue the tausiyah given by Elyas to the worshipers of the mosque. Until Isya’ time. A mu’adzin immediately took the microphone and chanted the Isya’ adzan.
As usual, Elyas was appointed to be the imam of Isya’ prayers. Four plots have been done and Elyas finished. One by one, the residents began to leave the mosque. Here is Elyas who came out of the mosque a little later.
“ Assalamualaikum, Ratna. “ greet Elyas when he saw Ratna also just came out of the mosque. From the female side door.
“ Uh, waalaikum greetings, ustadz Elyas. “ replied Elyas while looking down. It felt heavy for Ratna this time looking or just glancing at Elyas. His heart ached when he remembered the sight he had witnessed twice, when he saw Elyas being alone with Selsa.
“ Just want to go home, Na ? “ asked Elyas.
“ Yes, ustadz. “ replied Ratna still while looking down with her hands holding the face of the boss she still wears.
“ Alone ? “ asked Elyas as he leaned his head into the mosque, but found no one there. “
Ratna nodded. “ Yes. I have gone home earlier with brother Zahra. “ he replied.
“ Want me to accompany ? “ bargain Elyas.
Sontak Ratna shook her head. “ Sorry, ustadz, Ratna said goodbye first. Assalamu alaikum . “ By hunting –, Ratna was about to leave Elyas.
What happened to Ratna ? He doesn't usually behave like this. Inner Elyas.
“ Ratna, wait. “ call Elyas. Ratna stopped her steps, but she did not want to look.
“ You why ? Is there a problem ? “ asked Elyas as he stepped closer to Ratna. “ Sorry, if I was presumptuous to ask. “ he continued.
It looked as if Ratna was just shaking her head.
“ Do I have any fault with you ? Why do you seem to be avoiding me ? “ ask Elyas. Ratna shook her head. “ Then why is your attitude like avoiding me ? “
“ Sorry ustadz. “
“ Ratna, you do not usually call me by the name ustadz like this. There must be something. “ cut Elyas who feels strange with Ratna's attitude.
“ Sorry, Ratna should have called ustadz. Ratna shouldn't have called us. And I'm sorry, it's supposed to ustadz not have to drive Ratna home. We're not who – who. It's inappropriate if we go alone. Ustadz must be more understanding about it. “ said Ratna with a vibrating tone of voice holding something that was about to melt.
“ Moreover ustadz already have. “ he continued softly, then he immediately left Elyas who was still sculpting on the spot. Late, he heard the words of Ratna.
Does anyone have any ? Who does Ratna mean ? Ahhh, Elyas became upset with Ratna's attitude. He stepped gontai leaving the mosque courtyard towards his home.
That same night, there was a heated debate between Selsa and her papa.
“ Selsa do not want in soul mate – soul mate. What is Selsa Siti Nurbaya ? Ogah if dapetnya kayak Datuk Maringgih. “ reject Selsa raw – with the wishes of his papa.
“ People who want to propose to you are not Datuk Maringgih, Sa. Especially like Datuk Maringgih. Do you know what Datuk Maringgih looks like ? “ said mr. Manoj.
They are currently sitting in the family room. Selsa sat on the single sofa with Roy also sitting on the single sofa in front of Selsa. Mr. Manoj and his wife were sitting on a long sofa next to Selsa.
“ Know it. His man has – batteries, ompong, where his wife many more. “ sengak Selsa. Roy and Rubi, Selsa's mother, can only hold back her smile hearing Selsa's reply.
“ She is not a male – like that, Sa. He's Mike. Son om Max. “ said Mr. Manoj somehow to how many times.
After a meeting that night at the restaurant, Mike asks his father, Max, to match him to Selsa. And Mr. Max is happy to do so.
And for Papa Selsa, he was willing to match his only –-year-old daughter with his old best friend's son, he, because he wants Selsa to have responsibility and change his habit of often going out at night to the club – club that is not clear night. Mr. Manoj hopes that once his daughter gets married and has a husband, her daughter will change.
“ Let alone him, papa…. No way ! “ Selsa circus. “ Papa if you want to marry Selsa the same man is not clear, the same papa nyerahin Selsa to the pimp. “ he continued.
“ Selsa !! “ strangle mr. Manoj.
“ Why, pa ? Selsa spoke wrong ? Aye ? “ Selsa begins to raise her voice. “ What do you know, behavior from – men who want to match Selsa same ? No, right ? “ he continued in an annoyed tone of voice. He stood up and walked away and went back to his room.
“ Selsa ! “ hardik the papa, but Selsa no longer want to listen to him. He kept stepping up the stairs.
“ Se-“ calls Mr. Manoj stalled because the wife squeezed his hand while shaking his head.
Mr. Manoj breathed his rough breath and leaned his back against the back of the sofa violently, then incised his temple.
“ Pa, you better not force Selsa. The child, if forced, will rebel even more. Papa should know Selsa better than mama. “ said Rubi gently.
“ Mama's right, pa. Roy also disagrees with papa's intention to match Selsa. “ Roy to open voice.
“ Papa is just confused what to do with your sister. “ replied Mr. Manoj. “ Papa just hope, after he married, then he will change and become more manageable. “ he continued.
“ Roy know pa. But not with Mike. If you ask Roy's opinion as Selsa's sister, then Roy does not agree if the – boy is Mike. “ replied Roy.
“ Pa, Selsa is far away from us. So mama please be equally papa, do not make it further away from us. “ said Rubi gently while holding her husband's hand.
Back sir Manoj sighed harshly. He looked at the stairs leading to the second floor where Selsa's room was.
