PREMARITAL

Dilemmas

Adhan Maghrib had reverberated, as usual Sakha rushed towards the mosque. He walked out of the room, at a glance he stared at the door of the room occupied by Shara.

"Did Ara eat?" he thought, Sakha soon resumed her intentions.

***

In the room, Shara also soon established the Maghrib prayer. His body was feeling better, he was also strong to stand for a long time.

He performed his worship solemnly, exposing himself to the khalik.

At the end of the rakaat, precisely at the last prostration. Shara poured out all her heart, for when she whispered to the earth the heavens heard.

As mentioned in the hadith,

أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَأَكْثِرُوا الدُّعَاءَ

“The closest thing between a servant and his Lord is when he prostrates, then multiply do’a when it.” (CHR. Muslim no. 482, from Abu Hurairah)

"O Allah, the merciful, the merciful. Who knows what I do not know. You know what I need, you know what is best for me. Please give me a hint on my question. I leave everything to You, O God." Shara dissolves in her prayer.

Finished establishing the Maghrib prayer, he continued by reading the Qur'an until entering the time of Isha.

***

As with Shara, Sakha also waited for the Adhan in the mosque.

Before long adhan isya was reverberating, after the adhan and iqomah finished reverberating simultaneously all the congregation immediately established the prayer isya.

Luckily, Sakha got the first shaf tonight. Because the best shaf for men is the first shaf.

After the prayer, Sakha intends to buy snacks. The choice falls on wheat and coconut based foods, namely bandros. It is very suitable to eat when it is still hot. He also did not forget to buy it for Shara, somehow his mind has automatically tucked the name of the hijab woman in any situation.

After that Sakha rushed back to the hotel, her steps were a little rushed. Now his body was facing the door of Shara's room, hesitatingly knocking on the door.

"Assalamallaikum, Ara?" sakha.

From inside Shara who was still wearing a mukena immediately walked towards the door when she heard someone say a greeting, "wa'allaikumussalam, wait a moment!"

The door opened, and they stared at each other. Nervously, Sakha offered the food she had bought to Shara.

"What's this?" shara asked as she watched the food wrapper.

"Bandros" answered Sakha, glaring at the horse.

"Oh, thank you. Though do not bother," said Shara.

"Snacks only, how's Ara doing now?" ask Sakha.

"Thank God, it's getting better." Shara answered with a smile.

"Alhamdulillah" said thanks Sakha.

He looked at Shara's shady face, the face he was wearing increasingly revealed the grace of the 25-year-old woman.

"Ara wants to pray?" ask Sakha.

"Euh, no. Ara just finished praying," replied Shara.

Sakha nodded, "if Ara saw her with her mukena, Akha liked to want to imitate her, "sakha's god.

"Dih, what the hell. Very nice," Shara replied with a small laugh.

Sakha laughs, she is happy to see Shara who is now getting better.

"Oh yeah, tomorrow is our last day here, Ara want to go around again?" ask Sakha.

For a moment Shara fell silent, remembering her plans to resign her return.

"Emm, can. Where you going?" ask Shara.

"Actually, there's something Akha wants to buy. Ara wants to come?" ask Sakha.

"Akha wants to buy what? Hayu," Shara said.

"There you go, look tomorrow" Sakha replied.

"All right, I'll see you tomorrow."

Sakha smiled, after which she said goodbye to return to her room.

***

The last day Sakha was in Bandung, he used to look for his target goods. Sakha intends to buy a pair of shoes.

"Where are we?" shara asked as she followed Sakha's steps.

"Kings Shoping Center" replied Sakha.

"Oh," Shara rounded her lips.

"Astagfirulloh, why stop suddenly?" exclaim Shara.

"Hehehe, sorry." Sakha chuckles.

"Ish, why?" Shara grunted annoyedly.

"Ara tired of not? Want to sit down first?" Sakha is a little worried about Shara's condition which has just healed.

"No, Ara's not tired." Shara answered for sure.

"Alright," Sakha resumed her steps.

They had now reached the shopping mall, footsteps taking them to where they were looking.

"Why buy shoes here?" ask Shara while looking at various models of shoes neatly lined up in her tenpat.

"Wind it," replied Sakha origin, her eyes remained focused on finding the model of shoes she was after.

"Not found a suitable one?" shara asked, when she saw Sakha who had not yet gotten her target.

Sakha paused her steps for a moment, and turned to look at Shara.

"Already," he answered.

"really? Which one?" shara asked while nodding her eyebrows.

"Which fits, is in front of me." Sakha said original but sounded serious.

Shara who understood Sakha's words, suddenly met red. His cheeks are hot.

Sakha smiled at the adorable behavior of the woman who had stolen her heart.

"Continue looking at her shoes" Shara's pinta.

Sakha nodded, again picking her target shoes.

His eyes were fixed at the corner of the shelf, a faint smile rising on his lips. He immediately approached, his hand reaching for the shoes he was looking for.

"Well, meet. Nice no?" ask Shara Sakha.

"Well, can this be worn by women too?" shara asked while watching Sakha's chosen shoe model.

"could. Why, Ara want to too?" ask Sakha.

Shara remained silent. He actually really likes the shoes, but to buy it does not seem to be at this time. Not because she can't afford it, but Shara is not a typical woman who likes to buy things she doesn't really need.

"Emm, no, no. Ara's shoes are still on good terms."

"Oh, yeah." Sakha called the shopkeeper, to pay him immediately.

When they finished, they immediately left the store.

"Where are we?" Shara asked while spreading her gaze.

"We're looking for food, Ara should eat rice." Sakha walks ahead of Shara, but their distance is not too far away.

Shara nodded obediently, their steps now towards one of the food courts there.

***

Sakha ordered two servings of food, one for her and one for Shara. He must attach importance to Shara's health first, not wanting the events of yesterday to happen again.

"Eat it slowly, no one will take your food Akha" Shara pinta said as she watched Sakha eat quickly.

Sakha grinned the horse, if he was eating he did not talk much.

"It's okay if anyone takes my food, as long as... "

Sakha's words stopped because she was thirsty.

After drinking, he resumed his sentence.

"Or else no one takes you away from me" he said.

Shara was stunned, her heart warmed. Sakha's words sounded honest in her ears, but she did not want to be lulled away.

"Smart is crunching well now," Shara replied.

"Ara, how do you feel about me?" sakha asked seriously.

Shara fell silent, Sakha's question as if making her tongue a joke. In his heart he said that he had the same taste, but his tongue seemed unable to speak the truth.

"Akha, how do you feel about Airin?" shara asked no less seriously.

Sakha gasped, she stared fixedly at the glass that was right in front of her. His mind was trying to figure out what answer he should give to Shara.

"Don't ask me how I feel if you yourself can't turn away from your past!" shara exclaimed, making the man who was now facing her silent a thousand languages.
