One Heart 2 LOVE

Ask Him to Him

Lusi: Don't expect too much from humans. If man still hopes of the Almighty.

.......

Tami leaned her head on Arman's shoulder. Grasping Arman's fingers tightly. A smile rose on his lips that had been trembling to hold back the cry.

"I thought Arka would be angry when she found out that I knew everything but never told her."

Arman replied to Tami's hand link. A smile was engraved on her lips, "All you should know is that Arka loves Sekar. Slowly, the name Siska was erased in the heart of Arka. Although not completely. However, the pen of God has carved the beautiful name Sekar in the heart of Arka."

"The nature of a child depends on how the parents educate him or her. Mas has successfully educated Arka. Growing up to be a noble-hearted adult man. Reflect on yourself in youth. I'm sure Arka will be a good husband for Sekar" Tami said.

"I don't guarantee Arka will be like that. All I know is that I will do my utmost to make Arka love Sekar as I love you. Because I know." Arman turned his head. Scooping both cheeks Tami, "That Sekar is a good woman like you..."

No matter what Tami has done in the past. For Arman, life and happiness are in the present and for the future. A mistake is a natural thing every human being does, even if it is a little fatal. If God alone can forgive, why can't his people?

Love does not mean to be selfish and turn into hate just because of an error. Because basically, while we live, the temptations of Satan will always come. Human faith is not always strong. When faith is weak, that is when Satan attacks. So, is it entirely human error?

After all, in life and in the household, there was always a riot. If one's faith is strong. The riot will become a new defensive fortress. Vice versa. If both parties have minimal confidence in each other, then the riot will be a calamity.

But I'm sorry, it looks like Arman and Tami's faith is strong. Both of them trust each other so that the relationship between the two is still going on. Today.. tomorrow. and maybe later.

"I really hope, Arka can love Sekar all souls. Although his soul has not really been able to forget Siska," added Tami.

"As long as I live. No matter how big Arka is, I'll keep educating her. I will educate Arka to be a good child for both her parents. A good husband for his wife. And a good father to his Son" explained Arman.

"But there's one thing that looks like we have to work out" Tami noticed Arman. Looking forward to what Arman will say next, "What?"

"Viona" said Arman.

"I am her Mother. It was my permission to explain everything to Viona" explained Tami.

"And I'm his father. Let me help you explain."

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me home? We are not divorced. Come home with me, "persuade Arka.

They were both in front of the orphanage. Sekar asked to be delivered here. There was no reason behind his request.

"Related. I just want to say goodbye to Mother Anisa and the other orphanage children" Sekar released his circle of hands from Arka's waist.

"If that's the reason, I'll wait."

The girl shook her head while smiling, "No need. Please home. Next time I'll go home."

"It's okay I'm bis--"

"Assalamualaikum," said Sekar then sauntered away from there.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Arka lirih.

There are sekar's eyes that Arka can't understand. There was something that seemed to be stirring up the girl's heart. Don't know what or how.

Happy arka. Very happy when the barrier fortress has been damaged and destroyed. Makes itself easier to hold Sekar. The seed of love has grown inside her.

Then why did the girl look so riled up and worried. What is growing new thorns that are in the process of developing?

"Mom's son why else, son?" Lusi sat down next to Arnold. Accompanying the man who was smoking his cigarette.

"Lho's? You smoking? Can the doctor not smoke," Lusi snatch a cigarette that has been used up half. Smoke flew with the night wind. Disappeared in the sky.

"Why do you smoke? Since when? You never smoke after becoming a doctor. Why?" Feelings of worry begin to attend Lusi. Arnold had never smoked before.

"Rather than Arnold getting drunk," Arnold grabbed back a cigarette that was on the wooden table beside him. Re-enact the cigarette.

With the sarcasm Lusi snatched it. Squeeze the cigarette. Makes it scuffed and broken.

Arnold didn't turn his face away. Let Lusi do whatever he wants. His heart was more broken than the cigarette that Lusi had just crushed.

"Say, why?"

Slowly, Arnold turned to look at Lucia. Staring into the eyes of the old woman with a pushy look. Arnold's lips twitched, "Did Arnold not deserve to be happy?"

God, why is this painful for Lucia? Arnold's face, Arnold's voice accompanied by a sentence coming out of Arnold's mouth sounded so heartbreaking. Inviting cries to those who hear it. Moreover, Lusi is her Mother. Which mother can stand not crying when her child looks injured?

"What do you mean?" Lusi Repeat.

"Did Arnold not deserve to be happy? Does happiness belong only to Arka? What's Arn--"

Lusi hugged Arnold. Put the man's head on his chest. Gently rubbed the hair of the orphaned man. Let Arnold cry in his arms.

"Every child deserves to be happy. Every human being deserves to be happy. Why Nak? Why do you say as if you don't have a God who cares about your happiness?" Ask Lusi.

"really. Arnold didn't think God loved Arnold," Arnold's voice sounded heavy. Sometimes he takes his breath in.

"What do you mean? Nah! Allah loves you. The proof is that he gives you strength. You, Arnold Prayoga. An orphan who used to live in short supply has now become a successful doctor who managed to make his mother and sister happy. A very proud thing. So, what if you ask like that? God loves you Arnold" said Luci.

"Then why did God snatch the man Arnold loved?" Arnold pops his head. Staring at the face of Lusi who was already covered in tears.

"Arnold loved Dad, God took him. Arnold loved Siska, God took her. And now

.. Arnold loves Sekar, God won't allow it."

Luci. He now understood that what disturbed Arnold's mind was the girl he helped that day who managed to plant the seeds of love in Arnold's heart.

"Arnold was sincere when Siska chose Arka. And now, should Arnold sincerely return when Sekar is with Arka again? Was Arka created to snatch Arnold's happiness? One pinta Arnold. Together with the people I love."

Which Mother's heart is not sliced when she sees her son suffering. It's true what he said. Arnold has made many sacrifices and has often experienced loss. Again and again certainly not what Arnold wanted.

"Is that wrong? Arnold became a good man. Isn't a good woman a good man? Just a good woman, Mom, Arnold did too. Why did Arka win? Arnold was the first to help Sekar. Arnold! not that bastard!" Arnold's cries dominated the front yard. He was crying that way. No matter the circumstances around or neighbors.

"Sutt. Remember your father's message? Be a grown-up and useful man," Lusi re-captured Arnold.

"But grown men need to be happy too! Arnold wants to be happy and live with the person Arnold loves. Can't you?"

O Allah. Strengthen Arnold. Moreover, strengthen Lusi who is currently struggling to calm Arnold so that the man is not wrong in deciding the stand and does not misunderstand the decision of the Almighty.

"Arnold. Maybe Sekar was created for Ark. There are humans who are deliberately created with a sincere heart and then live relationships with those who have a slightly bad attitude. So that the two can complement each other and then become-"

"Dulu Siska. Why should I be too? Arnold was struggling. I took Sekar on the streets. Give the girl life. Giving Sekar food so that Sekar can continue to walk his feet on the face of this earth. I was the first to worry about Sekar. I am always at the front to make sure the situation Sekar. After being sure Sekar was okay, why did Arka get it?"

Luci stroked the head of Arnold with tenderness. He spoke the lafadz of Allah. Ask God that God can give an explanation to Arnold his eldest son.

"So you helped Sekar because he loved her?" Ask Lusi. Nodded by Arnold.

"Call right..," Lusi hung up his words.

"Try you think. How God feels when he knows you are doing good not because of Him. Because of his creation. Think about how disappointed God is when he knows you are doing good not sincerely but because there is a desire."

"You know, don't you know that there are always trials in life? Is correct. Sekar is your ordeal. God created Sekar. Found him with. Asking you to help. Then took. Now is a test for you, son. If you succeed in helping him, Allah will reward you. If you succeed in making it happy, then you have successfully passed your test. Now, your happiness is happy Sekar too isn't it?" Arnold nodded. "If you are happy with Arka. Why aren't you happy too?"

Arnold shook his head loudly. "But Arnold also wants to be happy with Sekar. Arnold loves him. Arnold wanted to have it" Arnold said.

"If Sekar was not created for you, why force it? Who created the Vise of God. So everything is up to God. I used to support you because I thought Sekar was a match for you. But if in fact Sekar was born not for you, I will take back Mother's words. Mother will not encourage you because Mother does not want Mother's Son to be a dissident. The opposition of almighty destiny."

"Arnold. There is a love that you do not have to have. There is a love that must be given. There is an unrequited love. Whatever it is, love is when we are happy to see the person we love happy. You were once the one who worried the most before you became the one who worked the most. Love Sekar as Your Sister. That way you won't lose her completely."

Arnold got up from his seat.

"No. Arnold wants Sekar as Arnold's lover."

"Lantas, if Sekar isn't happy living with you for not loving you, would you? No don't you? Now I'm giving you a choice. Love Sekar as your sister, then you can still be together. Or love Sekar as your lover, take him from Arka but Sekar will hate you. Even if Sekar lives with you, hatred runs. Because you're not the one who Sekar wants. Life is a choice. Please choose your own choice." Lucia got up from her seat. Let Arnold discuss his world and mind.

"Why isn't Arnold the one Sekar chose?"

Luci stopped, without turning back he said, "Life is a choice. And maybe Arka is Sekar's choice. Arka's not as bad as you think. You know how Arka is, you're your friend. I'm sure you can let Sekar go with him because I believe Arka can make him happy. Think about what you're gonna do next. And remember well. What you decide now determines what will be yours in the future. Think using your brain. Don't use your emotions."

Arnold flinching. Faithfully staring at Lusi's departure with a pushy look.

Now he's clucking. Kicking chair. Ruffling her hair. Confused what to choose. Honestly, Arnold is currently in a state of anger and emotion. It's hard for him to think clearly. He is also under the control of Satan so slightly forget the God who will give him a way out.

But when Arnold's emotions had subsided. He will again ask and ask for answers to the Almighty.
