NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS HEAVEN S1/S2

Chapter 21. Ordinary Ignored

Farhan and his four friends are waiting for Rachel's presence at the dinner table. After half an hour of waiting, his wife did not show up.

"Where are you going, Han? And hungry!" said Dodi.

"So when I got here, Rachel was still praying. I think he might still be teaching. Rachel is so often. After the prayer, continued teaching. So only one month of conversion, my wife has started to read the Qur'an smoothly," said Farhan with a little pride.

Farhan admitted that his wife was so intelligent that she quickly mastered the recitation of the holy verse. He was also precise in the recitation of the verses for prayer.

"Rachel's a convert?" ask Reno. It seemed that he was shocked to hear Farhan's statement.

"It seems you're shocked to hear that, do you also feel like you've seen Rachel?" ask Mia.

"Not because of that. I just salute you. He who has just learned about Islam but has so consistently learned, we who are born as Muslims are so easy to leave obligations. We should be the ones to show him good things!" reno.

Yuni and Mia looked at each other. He knew that Reno was insinuating the two of them. Farhan, who saw his best friend being insinuated, stood up from his seat.

"I'll call Rachel first" Farhan said.

The four Farhan friends just nodded their heads in response. No sound came out of their mouths.

As expected, Rachal was teaching at the musala in this villa. Slowly Farhan sat down beside your wife.

"Udahan taught him? We eat again" said Farhan, watching Rachel close the scriptures.

"Has not eaten yet?" Rachel asked back.

"Me and the others are waiting for you."

"Why not eat first, Mom. I can catch up later."

"Where might eat it first. Surely they feel bad about leaving you with a meal first."

"But this afternoon they used to leave me alone!" rachel said with great emphasis.

"You're angry with them?" ask Farhan.

"Why should I be angry, Mom? Ever since my parents died, I've been used to being alone, used to losing, used to being disappointed, used to being exiled, used to not being considered, and I'm also used to bodo very much whatever happens. So I won't be angry" Rachel said with a smile.

Farhan approached his wife. Hugging and peeping her cheeks. She knew there must be a little bit of Rachel's disappointment with her friend, just women trying to cover it up.

"I'm lucky to have such an understanding wife like you. Let's eat. My stomach is hungry" said Farhan, holding his stomach.

Rachel and Farhan join the others. While eating all was just silence, no one let out a sound.

After dinner, the six of them sat down while watching television. Rachel's phone rang. He reached into his shirt pocket to pick up a cell phone.

"I'm sorry, I picked up the phone first" Rachel said, asking for permission.

"From mom, Mom. I'm short," he said. Rachel stood up and walked a little away. He chose to sit on the guest sofa which was only two meters from the living room.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Rachel. How are you, son," said the mother across the street.

"wa'alaikumussalam wa rahatulli wa barakatuh, ma'am. Thank goodness I am healthy. How are mom and dad?" ask Rachel.

"Mother and father are perfectly healthy, son. How's the honeymoon going?" ask Mother.

"Very fun, Mom. It's called a honeymoon. Must be very special. I must have felt that" replied Rachel.

"Thank God it was so fun. Mom was happy to hear it. I was worried."

"Don't worry, Mom. Mas Farhan was very considerate and never ignored akh. Mas Farhan took me both ways, to all the tourist attractions."

"It was before, son. I'm interrupting your honeymoon."

"Not bothering me, Mom."

"Assalamu'alaikum, Son. If you're back in town, let me know. Actually, I'm not satisfied with you yet" said Mother.

"Mother, I'll visit often."

"Mother is waiting for you and Farhan to arrive. Assalamu'alaikum."

"wa'alaikumussalam wa rahatulli wa barakatuh, ma'am."

The cell phone connection was also closed. Farhan and his four friends looked at each other. Yuni and Mia stood up to Rachel.

"Sorry Rachel. Me and Mia never meant to interrupt your honeymoon. We didn't know Farhan was taking us on a honeymoon. We thought Farhan was not married" Yuni said.

"We hope you don't misunderstand and complain to Farhan's parents" Mia said.

Farhan, Dodi and Reno stood up. They approached Rachel.

"I'm sorry if our presence is so disturbing. We really don't know if this is your honeymoon. We also apologize for ignoring you. Again, I'm sorry" Reno said.

Farhan was closer to his wife. Sit next to the woman.

"Rachel, my friend is right. They don't know if I'm married. That's why they want it when I ask to come for a vacation. I hope you don't say all this with mom and dad" Farhan said

"Just calm down, Mom. I won't say anything to mom and dad. I've gotten used to going through so difficult phases alone. Even I have lost all places of complaint among the multitude of men. It is only God where I come home, when the world ignores me alone. I began to understand that no one in this world can save me but God."
