PREMARITAL
Almost Anyways
Later you will understand, that choosing a partner is not only about love. But about who will accompany your worship until you close your eyes.

Sakha begins her search, she accompanies Bima to find Shara. Various seminar schedules for the Bogor area and surrounding areas he noted.
"Where were we going, huh?" Ask Bima.
"Emm, come here." Sakha pointed to one of the places that was holding a seminar event.
"Alright, come!" Bima got into his car followed by Sakha.
They are now heading to the approved place, the car is traveling at medium speed.
***
Arriving at the destination, Sakha and Bima did not immediately get out of his car. For a moment Bima noticed the place of the seminar which was now in front of her.
"You wanna try the check?" Ask Sakha.
"Can."
The two got out of the car, and now walked over.
Bima took the initiative to ask a security guard at the event.
"Assalamallaikum, excuse me sir I'd like to ask."
"Wa'allaikumussalam, what's wrong Mas?" Answer the officer.
"The seminar's host is just the two of them, sir? Any other fillers no, sir? Or maybe a committee called Shara?" bima said.
"Yes, Mas. Just the two of them, for Shara, I don't know, Mas." The officer answered so badly.
"Oh... Alright. Thank you, sir."
Bima and Sakha return to their car.
"Want to go somewhere else?" Ask Bima.
"That's it," said Sakha.
They continue the search for Shara.
From a distance, a woman came down from a taxi. The woman was wearing a headscarf, her face was shady.
"Ra," shouted another woman.
The veiled woman smiled, "a little while."
The woman walked over to the person who called her earlier.
"Assalamallaikum, how are you?" Ask Amel.
"Wa'allaikumussalam's chat. Thank God, how are you Mel?" Ask Shara back.
"Good, Ra. Enter yu."
Shara nodded, now the two of them entered to attend the seminar.
If God had not predestined to meet, no matter how close our distance would have been to His will.
***
Sakha gets to second place, she hopes to meet Shara here.
The same thing in both, they start the search by asking people around.
Again his efforts did not produce results, not found Shara there.
Sakha looks disappointed, she sits languidly on the edge of the sidewalk.
Bima tried to comfort her best friend, encouraging Sakha not to give up just like that.
"Kha, do you want to continue?" Ask.
Sakha sighed, she felt a little pessimistic.
"Let's see, maybe Shara wasn't meant for me." Sakha said with resignation.
"Come on, two places. There's still one more place, maybe there's fruit." Bima cheers.
Sakha nodded, "sorry, it's already troubling you."
"You, just relax."
The two now re-entered the car, continuing their journey to the next place.
***
At the seminar, which was attended by Shara.
"Ra, when is marriage? You don't envy what I see, you want two." Show Amel on his distended stomach.
"Golden, deh. Just pray, Mel." Shara stroked her friend's stomach.
"definitely. Oh yeah, Adam didn't come?" Ask Amel. He felt surprised because Shara did not usually go without being accompanied by Adam.
"Here, don't talk about him." Shara changed her face.
"Hemm, yes sorry. Patience, yes." Amel patted Shara's arm slowly. He knows the story of Adam's possessive attitude towards Shara, though he is only trusted by Shara's parents to take care of her.
"Yes, Mel." Shara smiled.
Both are now focusing on the seminar.
***
At the place that Sakha came to, the two of them started looking for Shara again. Sakha and Bima for a moment took shelter under a tree next to her parked car, so she heard the chatter of some women who accidentally walked in front of them
"Less one, here. Shara where the hell is it?" Ask one of the women.
"Say she wants to attend the seminar, Kak Alvin and Kak Larissa." The other woman replied.
Hearing the name, Sakha immediately took the initiative to ask the group of women.
"Wa'allaikumussalam, what's wrong Mas?" As one of them said, the women looked confused.
"Sorry, Ma'am. I overheard someone mention Shara's name, if I may know who Shara is?" Sakha asked, Bima who was also astonished, walked over to Sakha.
"Shara's our friend, why is she, Mas? Ask the woman again.
"I happen to be looking for one named Shara too, Ma'am. Maybe the guy I'm looking for me with a friend, ma'am." Sakha.
"Oh yeah, I have a picture of him." Sakha opens her camera, intending to show them a picture of Shara.
"This, Ma'am. Not know?" Sakha asked while propping up her camera.
"Lho, this is my friend, Mommy." One of the women answered.
"really? Alhamdulillah," Sakha looks happy, as well as Bima.
"Don't you have a picture of my friend?" Ask the woman.
"She, my friend too, Ma'am. Oh yeah, is Ara here now?" Sakha asked enthusiastically.
"Oh no, Mas. Shara came to another seminar, "the woman replied.
"Which seminar is it, Ma'am?" Sakha curious.
"Seminar with Alvin and Larissa." The woman answered as she could.
Bima and Sakha looked at each other, maybe now they have the same thoughts.
"Sir, can I have Shara's phone number?" Persuade Sakha.
"Emmm, can. But the guy's a good guy, right?" The woman made sure.
"God willing, Ma'am. I'm definitely not a bad person." Sakha assured.
"All right."
The woman gave Shara oada Sakha's mobile number, clearly a happy look on Sakha's face.
"Thank you, Ma'am. Excuse me," said Sakha.
Sakha immediately pulled Bima's arm, she half ran towards the car.
"Kha, patience. Try calling him first." Bima.
"Later, hunt Shara home, Bim." Sakha.
"Here you go, it's up to you." Bima resigned.
Now they turned the car around, back to where their first seminar was.
"Hopefully today I can meet with Shara" said Sakha Lirih.
Bima momentarily glanced towards his best friend.
"Bismillah, kha."
Sakha nodded, Bima drove her car a little faster because the distance to return to the first place was quite long.
***
Arriving in the first place, Sakha rushed down from the car without waiting for Bima first.
The seminar has been completed, the seminar participants are also passing by leaving the place.
Sakha circulated her gaze, hoping she could find Shara.
"Kha, it's over with the show. How'this?" Bima asked with gasp breath as she chased after Sakha.
"Dissociated, Bim." Sakha ran away from her best friend.
"Astagfirulloh, bucin base. How to split up? I don't remember Shara's face." Bima confusion.
Sakha continued to circulate her gaze, looking around for Shara's figure.
"Oh my God, where are you, Ra?" Mumbled Sakha.
"Ra, I go home first, Dad."
Sakha gasped, she heard someone calling Shara's name. Sakha searched for the source of the voice, her gaze now catching the familiar figure.
"Shara" said Sakha Lirih.
He ran over to the woman he was looking for, calling Shara's name.
"Fine."
Shara was silent, vaguely like she heard someone calling her name. But Shara did not intend to find out, he continued his steps.
Sakha again calls Shara when she sees Shara getting further away.
"Fra. Shara!" Call Sakha.
Bruck.
Sakha accidentally bumps into a middle-aged woman, making her inevitably have to stop her steps to apologize to the person she hit.
"Astagfirulloh, sorry, Mom." Sakha felt guilty.
Shara again stopped her steps, she also circulated her gaze. He found out where the voice came from, but all he saw was a horde of middle-aged people and women talking to a young man. Without Shara knowing, that the young man who was talking to a grandmother was Sakha. Unfortunately, Sakha's body turned her back on Shara, so she could not recognize who the young man was.
After talking to the grandmother, Sakha turned her body around. The look on her face turned disappointed when she saw Shara was gone.
From behind Bima was running towards Sakha, with breath gasping.
"Kha, how? Meet you?" Ask Bima while adjusting her breath.
Sakha shook her head, she sighed heavily.
Bima can interpret the expression of his best friend's face, repeatedly he also tried to continue to encourage his best friend.
Ikrimah –rahimahullah– once said,
ليس أحد إلا وهو يفرح ويحزن، ولكن اجعلوا الفرح شكراً والحزن صبر
“Every person must have felt the likes and sorrows. Therefore, make your tribe is grateful and your sorrow is patient.”
